 During Holy Week, the Indonesian Church is a beehive of activities that can only boost the ties between clergy and the community. The many initiatives undertaken for the Easter of Resurrection include fundraisers for diocesan projects, regular Masses, confession, audio and video productions to help the faithful prepare for the celebration, not to mention many prayers and Chrism Masses. Unlike Christmas, which is seen as a time of joy and celebration, Easter is a time for meditation, devotions and a deep introspection into the faith, its principles and values. This Lent, the Archdiocese of Jakarta handed out cardboard boxes to families to encourage them to "save" some money for Church projects and social initiatives, open to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

This is especially true for Confession, a sacrament that allows believers to turn to the Church to have their sins fo

As the Qur’an is revelation of Allah to Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Sunnah likewise — not a third of it; not half of it; not two-thirds of it; not three-fourths of it; and not nine-tenths of it — all of it is the second revelation of Allah to His Messenger (peace be upon him). The Most High has said: “And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment.” (Qur’an, 59:7) The Most High has said: “Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only an inspiration that is inspired.” (Qur’an, 53:3-4) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed I have been given the Qur’an and that which is similar to it along with it." (Ahmad in Al-Musnad 28/410 and Abu Dawood in the Book of Sunnah; Chapter: Clinging to the Sunnah).. more brief
