Suara.com – Presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto revealed that since he was young he had vowed to be ready to die for the nation and people of Indonesia.
“Brothers and sisters, from the young age of 18, I have signed that I am ready to die for the nation and people of Indonesia,” he said in front of tens of thousands of people at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GLBA) Stadium, Bandung City, Thursday (8/2 /2024).
During his struggle, he said he had faced death several times and said two sentences of the shahada, as taught by the kyai.
“Brothers and sisters, my ustad, my kiyai, my kiyai taught me, Prabowo, you as a Muslim before you finish my last breath must first say two sentences of the shahada,” he said.
“And I have said two sentences of the creed three times in my life because I thought I had been called by God,” he explained.
However, he said, God still gave him a chance. Until now, he can still fight in the 2024 presidential election with Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
“But it turns out that God still gives me breath, still gives me strength, still gives me health. “This means we have to fulfill our duties for the nation and people of Indonesia,” he said.
“And now, after I have risked my life for decades for this republic, I am not willing to still see poor people in Indonesia, I am not willing,” he continued.
