Sermons with humor

Jakarta Post:

The expression “Alhamdulillah” is sprinkled throughout Muhammad Nur Maulana’s sermons during episodes of Islam Itu Indah (Islam is Beautiful).

The Makassar ustad’s (teacher) show airs every morning on TransTV.

His other signature expression — widely imitated by viewers — is “Jamaah… Oh… Jamaah [congregation]”, to which listeners respond “iye”, the very polite Makassar word for yes.

Cepot’s sermons are entertaining while conveying loving, moral messages. They urge Muslims to always show good morals, even in small deeds, and increase their devotion to God by following the teachings of the Prophet. Their sermons contain no provocation or disparagement.

Muhammad’s humorous and unique style when delivering his sermons, which invites laughter, has made him an extremely popular young ustad.
