‘Religion is a guide for life, so that religion must enlighten life.’

‘Through Al-Anfaal surah, Drs. Suyoto, M.Si. opened a Ramadhan Proselytizing held by Council of Educating Cadre, Board of Muhammadiyah Chiefs Chapter Yogyakarta Spial Province (MPK PWM DIY) last Saturday (18/06/2016) with the theme ‘The Role of Religious Leaders in Sustainable Devevopment.’

The regent of Bojonegoro who is also called Kang Yoto said, ‘To survive, what do you offer? What do you do to be successful? These are questions to be developed,’ he insisted.

One of the answers to the questions is to understand historical contexts to decide what to do. Religious leaders should do the same. According to him, religious leaders are spiritual leaders, who should serve the community to improve their welfare. Their role here is to build global brotherhood involving all sectors either governmental or societal. Religious leaders are obliged to give positive perspective and ethics. Ethics and religion help solve problems in society. They associate human thoughts and deeds, which religious leaders can synchronize.

Peran Agamawan dalam Pembangunan Berkelanjutan

“Agama itu petunjuk hidup, maka beragama harus menghidupkan.”

Melalui surat al-Anfaal, Drs. Suyoto, M.Si. membuka pengajian Ramadhan Majelis Pendidikan Kader Pimpinan Wilayah Muhammadiyah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (MPK PWM-DIY) Sabtu (18/6/2016) di auditorium Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) dengan tema “Peran Agamawan dalam Pembangunan Berkelanjutan”.

Bupati Bojonegoro yang akrab dipanggil Kang Yoto ini mengatakan, “Untuk menghidupkan, lantas apa yang akan Anda jual? Bagaimana Anda menjual dan sukses? Ini pertanyaan penting untuk maju,” tengasnya.

Salah satu untuk menjawab pertanyaan itu adalah, pahami konteks sejarah untuk menentukan apa yang akan dijual. Agamawan juga harus seperti itu.

Menurutnya, agamawan adalah pemimpin spiritual, pemimpin yang melayani masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan semua masyarakat. Peran agamawan di sini adalah menjalin kemitraan global antara semua sektor, baik pemerintah maupun masyarakat. Kalangan agamawan dituntut memberi perspektif etika. Etika dapat membantu agama dalam memecahkan masalah yang sulit dijawab oleh agama. Hal tersebut bisa menghubungkan dengan akal, budi, pikiran manusia, sehingga di sinilah peran agamawan untuk mensinkronkan.
