The celebration was started by the recitation of Barzanji led by Habib Umar Assegaf. Those attending the celebration were devoted to the reading of shalawat Nabi that touches their deepest feelings. Habib Umar then closed the celebration with a prayer making his eyes tearing.
The PCI NU at the special day also conducted a khatmul Qur’an as its monthly activity that used to be conducted in states of Australia.
While the joint prayer for the nation was led by the Chairman of the Executive Council Arif Zamhari saying that it was solely for the Republic of Indonesia. “This prayer is the form of our love for the nation. May Allah help our nation’s leaders to overcome the nation’s problems”.
