Kediri (ANTARA) - The leadership of Lirboyo Pesantren in Kediri City,\nEast Java, has stated that it is still awaiting a decision from the\nNahdlatul Ulama Central Board regarding the proposal for the pesantren\nto host the 35th NU Congress.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe official decision is, of course, something we are all awaiting\nfrom the grand conference, which according to information will be held\nthis April,\u201d said the spokesperson for Lirboyo Pesantren in Kediri, Kiai\nHaji Abdul Muid Shohib, in his statement in Kediri on Friday.<\/p>\n
He also expressed thanks to the Caretaker of Al Falah Pesantren in\nPloso, Kediri Regency, Kiai Haji Nurul Huda Djazuli, and various parties\nwho have proposed Lirboyo Pesantren as the host for the 35th NU\nCongress.<\/p>\n
However, he emphasised that to date, there has been no official\nrequest regarding the appointment of Lirboyo Pesantren as the host for\nthe NU Congress.<\/p>\n
\u201cUp to now, because there has been no official request, the Lirboyo\nside has also not specifically discussed the matter in internal forums,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
He added that Lirboyo Pesantren in Kediri is ready to carry out the\nmandate if it is eventually appointed as the host for the NU\nCongress.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the great affection of the Lirboyo clerics for the Nahdlatul\nUlama organisation, if it is truly appointed and trusted, insyaallah\nLirboyo is ready to fulfil that mandate,\u201d said Abdul Muid.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, in terms of facilities and infrastructure, the current\ncondition of Lirboyo is, alhamdulillah, relatively more adequate,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the PBNU ranks, the focus is currently on\norganisational consolidation to prepare for the congress planned for\nmid-2026.<\/p>\n
The General Secretary of the Nahdlatul Ulama Central Board (PBNU) for\nthe 2022\u20132027 term, Saifullah Yusuf, said preparations for the congress\ninclude internal organisational consolidation up to verification of the\nadministration of those eligible to be participants in the\norganisation\u2019s highest forum.<\/p>\n
In addition to organisational consolidation, PBNU is also utilising\nthe momentum of visits with senior ulama to seek prayers and blessings\nahead of the congress.<\/p>\n
Gus Ipul, his familiar nickname, stated that the visit agenda\nincludes a number of senior kiai at various pesantrens in East Java.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that, I usually continue to pay respects to several ulama,\nespecially senior kiai, such as to Ploso, Lirboyo, Kiai Hamid in\nPasuruan, Kiai Fuad in Sidogiri, and several others to seek prayers and\nblessings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Regarding the location of the Congress, Gus Ipul said that it is\nstill under discussion and has not been decided because it must go\nthrough the organisational meeting mechanism. Several alternative\nlocations are still being studied, both in Java and outside Java.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/lirboyo-pesantren-awaits-pbnu-decision-on-hosting-muktamar-1775836243", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
