Gusdur's Islamic State Concept Formulation, Humor

In the forum, which was accompanied by Matori Abdul Djalil, Gus Dur explained one by one the concept of a state that had existed in history. The 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia also conveyed the advantages and criticized the shortcomings of each of these concepts.

The time has come when Gus Dur conveyed the conclusion, which is really the concept of a good state according to Islam. However, it turned out that the audience, which consisted of experts and academics, was confused because Gus Dur was considered to be less clear in explaining the concept of the state, namely an Islamic state.

Gus Dur did not mention the concept of an Islamic state at all. This made Matori nervous, worried that Gus Dur would be bombarded with questions by the experts present. What Matori was worried about actually happened. Because one of the audience asked Gus Dur, what is meant by the concept of an Islamic state?

All of Gus Dur's colleagues, including Gus Mus who were present at the forum, were curious to wait for the answer of the grandson of the founder of NU, Hadratusshekh KH Hasyim Asy'ari. It turned out that Gus Dur casually replied, "That's what I have not formulated," joked Gus Dur.

Suddenly the entire audience who packed the scientific forum were made to laugh and burst out laughing by Gus Dur's answer.
