What's wrong with Bung Tomo's shout of Allahu Akbar?

Bung Tomo, he was one of the actors driving the fighters in the battle of 10 November 1945 in Surabaya. He managed to "burn" the spirit of the Surabaya arek to fight the British and NICA-Dutch troops, who wanted to re-occupy the country after being defeated by the Japanese.

Bung Tomo is known as an accomplished orator. This was proven by Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) by inflaming the spirit of the struggle against the invaders in Surabaya. 'Allah is the Greatest! Independent!' That was Bung Tomo's shrill scream that he inserted in his speech.

But do you know that today's young generation is behind the choice of the word 'Takbir' that is inserted in his speech!?!?

Bung Tomo did not arbitrarily choose the word 'Takbir' in his speech. The battle in Surabaya on November 10, 1945 in order to defend the homeland from the reconquest of the Dutch and other foreign parties actually could not be separated from the call for jihad by the ulama led by KH. Hasyim Asy'ari. A story might make it clearer why Bung Tomo chose Takbir's scream as the breaking word in his speech.

Prior to November 10, it turned out that Bung Tomo met Hadrotusyeikh KH Hasyim Asyari, Rais Akbar Nahdlatul Ulama at that time. He asked for permission to read a speech which was a manifestation of the Jihad Resolution previously agreed upon by the NU kiai, so the speech was not an ordinary speech, especially since it is said that the word 'Takbir' in the speech was the direct diploma of Hadrotusyeikh KH Hasyim Asyari whose sanad was continued to the Ulama of his teachers. , continued to the Tabi'in الله , continued to the Companions of the Prophet الله , Until finally the chain continued to the Prophet .

This is where we can see the importance of the sanad, having a heart that is connected to the Prophet .

In fact, Bung Tomo's tempestuous speech made the spirit of heroism of the fighters in the field even stronger. Because, in the Islamic tradition, the use of takbir to defend the homeland is the same as the call for holy war. Even though they were lightly armed, the people bravely fought open wars for independence.

"Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest!" Independent! That was the scream of Bung Tomo's takbir in a legendary speech in Surabaya. A speech that will always be remembered, even after his death in Padang Arafah, Mecca on October 7, 1981. It can be said that Indonesia became independent because of the screams of the takbir sentence, and nothing else, because logically it is inconceivable how the colonial army was fully armed and used the tools of war that all sophisticated can be defeated only with pointed bamboo and makeshift war tools.

May we become a nation that does not forget the history of the struggle of the heroes. Thus, we can inherit the spirit of struggle in filling independence in this beloved country.
