Hopefully NU not to be left by its followers
The great events organized by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) such as National Assembly and Major Conference in Surabaya last month was great moments for all NU followers, namely numbers of board, ordinary people, ulemas, activists, preachers, businessmen, traveling salesmen, and so on. They have usually inundated the arena of the ulema meeting. They all believe that the conference was really important to enrich their religious and social understanding because matters related to both religious and social issues were also discussed. The forum was also aimed at strengthening their commitment of NU. The tradition has been initially in continuation due to the initiatives of NU founding fathers that had deliberately and hardly called for NU followers and Muslim people in general to attend the conference in order to seek knowledge and strengthen their faith. This has been socially regarded as Islamic and NU preaching.
