In recent times, the statement of Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman or known to the public as Gus Miftah has been busy. Gus Miftah while filling the study seemed to make fun of traveling drink sellers. Dr. Iwan Setiawan, MSI, lecturer of Islamic Religion and Kemuhammadiyahan at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta, assessed that Gus Miftah’s swearing was very inappropriate.
Iwan said that Gus Miftah, as a cleric and special envoy of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in matters of religious tolerance, is certainly a public figure. Of course, he will be ready for criticism and suggestions from the public.
“So that viral swearing from a public figure to an iced tea seller, a family fighter, is very inappropriate. Not setting an example for the community,” said Iwan, Wednesday (4/12/2024).
Iwan said that it is not easy for an ustadz to keep his tongue in a public forum such as recitation. Sometimes the wrong tongue occurs, even losdol which causes uncontrolled speech.
“So what is needed is wisdom in speech and keeping the tongue in speech,” said Iwan.
Iwan assessed that humor can still be done, provided that it does not cause other people to feel dehumanized. Not making statements that hurt other people.
“Continue to maintain humor and cuteness, but start leaving things that cause others to be dehumanized and words that cause others to be hurt,” Iwan said.
Iwan said going to the drink seller and apologizing should be done. “Going to the tea seller and apologizing is the best attitude,” Iwan said.
