This is related to the economic independence of the people which is the responsibility of all components of society, “he explained.
Suryo also explained the foundation of economic independence through entrepreneurship based on Surah Ar-Ra’du verse 11 and Al-Maidah verse 2. “As explained in Surah Ar-Ra’du verse 11, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their situation. . In this case, if it is related to economic independence, we cannot change for the better if we do not start with our intention to change our destiny through selling or entrepreneurship. Furthermore, it is also important to help each other to improve the economy between communities, especially Muhammadiyah members, as explained in Al-Maidah Paragraph 2, “he concluded. (Sofia)
