REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo inaugurated Ahmad Chozin Chumaidy as Indonesian Ambassador to Lebanon. Chumaidy was a former member of House of Representatives from United Development Party (PPP) faction, serving from 2004 to 2009.

"Indonesia and Lebanon have similarities. We can make the similarities as energy to create peace in Middle East," Chumaidy said after inauguration in State Palace, Thursday, December 18.

He said that the president asked him to boost relations between Indonesia and Libanon. Chumaidy was proposed as Ambassador to Lebanon since Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) headed Indonesia. However, his inauguration was delayed due to unfavourable political situation.

يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wahai anak cucu Adam! Janganlah sampai kamu tertipu oleh setan sebagaimana halnya dia (setan) telah mengeluarkan ibu bapakmu dari surga, dengan menanggalkan pakaian keduanya untuk memperlihatkan aurat keduanya. Sesungguhnya dia dan pengikutnya dapat melihat kamu dari suatu tempat yang kamu tidak bisa melihat mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan setan-setan itu pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang tidak beriman.

(QS. Al-A'raf ayat 27)
