Recently, a video surfaced showing Gus Miftah, a prominent Indonesian preacher and Special Envoy to the President for Religious Harmony, addressing a penjual es teh (iced tea vendor) during a sermon in Magelang, Central Java. In the video, Gus Miftah inquired about the vendor's sales and, upon learning that many drinks remained unsold, remarked, "Es tehmu sih akeh nggak? ya sana jual goblok," which translates to, "You still have many iced teas left? Then go sell them, you fool." This comment, perceived as derogatory, sparked significant backlash from the public and fellow religious figures. Many criticized Gus Miftah for lacking compassion and respect towards the vendor, especially given his role in promoting religious harmony. The incident led to discussions about the importance of humility and respect in religious leadership
