In his remarks, Prof. Syafiq Mughni said that this event is a chance for Muhammadiyah and Indonesia to serve the Ummah, especially our Palestinian friends who have suffered for a long time. In addition to upholding justice, mutual respect, and regard for human beings, it is also a step toward discovering God’s message about how world peace should be created. But there can be no peace unless justice is served. These two things lay the cornerstone of Muhammadiyah’s global humanitarian mission.
