On the occasion, Mahfud MD asked to convey speech while waiting for iftar. In his speech, Mahfud MD said that fasting is intended only for people who believe so pious. Therefore, he said, the faithful are not necessarily pious, and faith that is alive to be careful.
Mahfud MD quoting the Prophet Muhammad answers when answering questions the definition of piety. According to the Prophet, fearing it is in the heart. "While the current definition of piety changed, that is running the commands of Allah and away from the ban. It does not exist at the time of the Prophet. The definition is only in modern times, "he explained.
To better understand the meaning of piety, Mahfud MD also told that at one time there are some friends who talk about the definition of piety? Companions, according to Mahfud MD, likens to a dark night someone was walking on a steep cliff that allows him to fall. "Then the friend asked: what are you doing? I will walk very carefully.
