The WISE team would like to offer their condolences for the passing away of Dr. Jalaluddin Rahmat, a well-known figure in Indonesia, an honorable scholar of Islam and a valuable human being.
He was one of the pioneers and founders of the Ahl al-Bayt school in Indonesia who was loved and trusted by so many, he eventually held a seat in the Indonesian parliament with a majority vote.
He was a forerunner in preventing the extremist mentality to enter Indonesia and he did so by political activities and humanitarian work as well as his extensive writings on Islam.
We offer our condolences to his honorable family, his honorable son, Dr. Miftah, and the Muslim community around the world.
His message will continue to spread through his books, and hopefully we will walk along the path he established to unify and elevate the Muslim community.
