REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Indonesian cleric Hasyim Muzadi asked the people to be rational in judging  claimed miracle of Dimas Kanjeng Taat Pribadi. If Dimas Kanjeng really has the ability to multiply money, he would not borrow any dime to the people. "Why did not he use his own and multiply it," Hasyim said retoric.

Therefore, he concluded Dimas Kanjeng ability is not rational and there is no justification about it in the Islamic teachings. Then why thousands of people believed him? Hasyim said there was something wrong about Indonesian people condition. "If they already know it's impossible to do so, then it's our society that is sick," the former Chief of PB Nahdatul Ulama stressed.

Meanwhile, social expert Musni Umar said Indonesian civilization laden with mystical. All class of society believed in mystique. "They put mystical believe over ratio," he said.

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)
