Jakarta, Hilton News –
The number two presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto, visited the house of Habib Ali bin Abdurrahman Alhabsyi in Kwitang, Central Jakarta, Friday (16/2). This visit was made after Prabowo made a pilgrimage to the tomb of Habib Ali Kwitang.
Prabowo said he was honored to be received by Habib Kwitang’s family, who have a close relationship with Prabowo’s parents.
“Today I have the honor of being received by Habib Kwitang, and had time to visit (the grave) of my late grandfather, grandmother, parents (Habib Ali bin Abdurrahman Alhabsyi), coincidentally his grandfather, my parents’ best friend in the past,” Prabowo said.
In addition to staying in touch, Prabowo also asked for prayers to be given ease in carrying out work for the people in the future.
“Now I am sowan, thank you and ask for prayers again also for our future work for the people,” Prabowo said.
Habib Ali Kwitang also welcomed Prabowo’s arrival. He thanked her and wished her blessings and success.
In addition, he also ensured that Prabowo’s visit this time was not the last, but the beginning and subsequent encounters.
“Alhamdulillah, hopefully we can spread the blessings of this friendship to all parties, insyasllah. God willing, this will not be the last, but it is the beginning, God willing, of the next friendship,” he said.
Secretary General of the Gerindra Party, Ahmad Muzani, who accompanied Prabowo on the pilgrimage, said that Habib Ali Kwitang was a cleric who contributed to developing Jakarta society.
He cited Prabowo’s appreciation for Habib Ali Kwitang’s work as one of his reasons for the pilgrimage.
“He (Habib Ali Kwitang) has a great service, both for the development of the people of Jakarta. That’s why he (Prabowo) made a pilgrimage to Habib Ali’s grave today,” he continued.
In addition to honoring Habib Ali Kwitang, Muzani also revealed that Prabowo’s family has a close relationship with the family of the religious leader. Habib Ali Kwitang’s son is Prabowo’s father’s best friend.
