He also conveyed that UMJ, as the manager of charitable endeavours, continues to strive to improve quality in various aspects, including the growth in the number of students and the development of new study programmes.

In line with this, Fahri Hamzah, Deputy Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas, emphasised that the tradition of mutual forgiveness in the month of Syawal is hoped to be the beginning of continuing life with renewed spirit after Ramadan. Furthermore, Irman Gusman, a member of the Regional Representative Council, stated that Muhammadiyah must take the forefront in various aspects of life.

He also appreciated all leaders of autonomous organisations, councils, institutions, and charitable endeavours that have contributed to advancing Muhammadiyah and gaining widespread trust from the public. Haedar also expressed condolences for the fallen three members of Indonesia’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon, and highlighted the global dynamics coloured by conflicts and humanitarian crises. “Muhammadiyah must always stand on the front line of national values, and play an active role in guiding the direction of Indonesia’s development towards a united, sovereign, just, and prosperous nation,” he concluded.
