Standardizing Khatib at Friday Prayers

Tuesday, February 14, 2017

THE government has proposed standardizing Friday prayer khatib (preachers or persons delivering sermons) to the House of Representatives (DPR). The proposal, said Minister for Religious Affairs Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, is based on reports about certain preachers who might pose a threat to the unity of the muslim community. "We could use the most moderate standards," said the minister.

Lukman said Friday sermons would be used to discredit people, undermining the sermon's essential function to provide religious counsel. "This can potentially create disunity, especially in the midst of Indonesia's diversity," he said.
