UNDIP, Semarang (21/3) – The Takmir of Universitas Diponegoro Campus Mosque (Maskam UNDIP) held the Eid al-Fitr 1447 H prayer on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 06:15 AM at the UNDIP Campus Mosque. The event was conducted solemnly and attended by members of the academic community and the general public.
The prayer was led by Imam Ustaz Yasir Muna Al-Hafizh, with Dr. Phil. Wahid Abdulrahman, S.IP., M.IP., a lecturer from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UNDIP, delivering the sermon. In his sermon titled “Strengthening Ukhuwah Islamiyah, Wathaniyah, dan Insaniyah Values,” he emphasized the importance of maintaining the virtues gained during Ramadan by reinforcing brotherhood across various aspects of life.
“Islam teaches peace, not division. Therefore, differences within the community must be addressed with maturity, mutual respect, and a spirit of unity,” he said.
He explained that Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah) serves as the primary foundation for Muslims to uphold dignity, strengthen solidarity, and avoid division. Differences, he noted, should be approached with maturity, respect, and unity.
“It is time for us to set aside matters that only create conflict and drain our energy. Instead, we should focus on working and making real contributions to the progress and welfare of the community,” Dr. Phil. Wahid Abdulrahman added.
He also highlighted the importance of national brotherhood (ukhuwah wathaniyah). In Indonesia’s diverse society, all elements of the nation are expected to maintain unity, strengthen national identity, and work together to address challenges such as social inequality, poverty, and environmental degradation. He stressed the need for leaders who are just and trustworthy, as well as a society that is critical yet respectful.
“We are one nation. Differences in religion, ethnicity, and background should not be barriers, but rather strengths in maintaining unity and building a better Indonesia,” he explained.
Furthermore, the preacher called for the expansion of human brotherhood (ukhuwah insaniyah). In an increasingly dynamic global context, human values must be upheld regardless of differences in ethnicity, religion, or nationality. He also referenced humanitarian conflicts around the world as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and compassion.
“As fellow human beings, we have a responsibility to uphold humanitarian values and care about various forms of injustice occurring in the world,” he concluded. In closing, he emphasized that Eid al-Fitr is an important moment to strengthen the values of unity and social care. By maintaining brotherhood in these three dimensions, Muslims are expected to become individuals who bring peace, justice, and benefit to society. (Public Communication/UNDIP/Dhany)
