Kahar Yelipele, Urges Public to Uphold Peace After Papua Gubernatorial Re-Vote"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jayapura<\/strong> \u2013 Chairman of the Papua Grand Mosque, KH. Kahar Yelipele, has called on the public to maintain peace following the Papua Gubernatorial Election re-vote (PSU). He emphasized that whatever result is announced by the General Elections Commission (KPU) should be accepted sincerely as part of Allah\u2019s divine decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor Allah, granting victory to anyone is very easy. Disasters, trials, and the outcomes of our efforts have all been written in His decree. The question is whether we can accept it with sincerity and contentment,\u201d KH. Kahar said in Jayapura on Tuesday (Aug 20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reminded the public not to be provoked by political elites seeking to exploit ordinary citizens. \u201cWe are elders, not people who easily join demonstrations. Do not allow yourselves to be used as tools of political interests. Too much time\u2014and even lives\u2014have been lost for matters that do not truly belong to us,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, preserving interfaith unity is the foundation of stability and security in Papua. He noted that every religion commands its followers to uphold peace. In Christianity, the Ten Commandments serve as a moral compass, while in Islam, the Qur\u2019an\u2019s Surah Al-Hujurat verse 13 affirms that humans are created diverse so they may know one another and live in faith and piety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAllah dislikes arrogance and self-pride. Therefore, religious leaders must stand at the forefront, reminding communities to preserve brotherhood and harmony in this beloved land of Papua,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this appeal, KH. Kahar expressed hope that post-election, Papuan society will not fall into conflict but instead work together to safeguard peace for a brighter future of the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jayapura \u2013 Chairman of the Papua Grand Mosque, KH.
