“Attending the funeral of the Hamas leader is a duty for us Muslims. Especially for Indonesia, with the largest Muslim population in the world, it is a necessity for representatives from Indonesia to be present,” he added.
Furthermore, Nur Ikhwan stated that Ismail Haniyeh made significant contributions to defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Islamic waqf land, namely Palestine, sacrificing his wealth, life, soul, and family.
“He should be an example for Muslim leaders worldwide. This is how the struggle to defend the honor of Islam should be, even if it costs lives,” he said.
Nur Ikhwan mentioned that he and one of the MER-C Presidium members, Faried Talib, were preparing at their accommodation in Doha to attend Ismail Haniyeh’s funeral after Friday prayers.
