Before the 6 facts were revealed, social media activist Jonru Ginting has explained 7 other facts about the ustadz.
Here are the 7 facts.
Ustadz Abdul Somad is a local figure from Riau who became famous all over Indonesia because of his many viral lectures.
He is original Ustadz, has S2 in the field of religion, graduates of Al Azhar Cairo and S2 in Morocco as well. So in terms of science, he is very competent.
He is "the result of interbreeding" between the fun ustadz and ustadz quality. So far, both types of ustadz such as water and oil. Can not be united.
But Ustadz Abdul Somad managed to marry both. His lectures in addition to "high nutrition", also pleasant to hear, and the funny portion was just fine. Not excessive.
The style is very simple.
He is not a charismatic ustaz type. Society respects him because of his knowledge, not because of his charisma.
He is also not a stereotypical ustadz type (meaning he looks really like his ustadz in general). His style is ordinary. Like most people.
Hearing his lecture, we like to hear the words of ordinary people who happen to be smart in the field of religion.
- Many have called Abdul Somad's ustadz as a substitute for K.H. Zainuddin MZ. In terms of popularity may be. But in terms of characters, both are very much different.
KH Zainuddin MZ is charismatic, stereotif, and more suitable to appear in the event tabligh akbar. While ustadz Abdul Somad is not charismatic, not stereotif, and more suitable to appear in limited study events.
"Why are there so many people who like to share Ustadz Abdul Somad's lecture videos, of course, because they like, why they like me, because I think the 7 factors above do not need to discuss one by one, right?
What is clear, Ustadz Abdul Somad is very unique. Simple, as-is, yet "full of nutrition" as well as entertaining. Incredible cool!
Therefore, if you have not watched Ustadz Abdul Somad lecture video, watch now now. Do not regret it.
Alhamdulillah, we as Muslims of Indonesia need to be grateful for having a cleric like ustad Abdul Somad.
And I would like to extend my gratitude to my friends who have been sharing video lectures
