Sholawat Gus Ali Gondrong

Gus Ali Gondrong, as he is familiarly called, according to his appearance with long hair, he invites people who have not found the true path of religion to repent.

"Dakwah should instead invite those who are in a dark world with a negative aura to return to the right path," said Gus Ali Gondrong, in Semarang on Sunday.

He opened his story, precisely in the early 2000s, syiar da'wah was carried out by trying to approach people from the 'black' group to be invited to repentance.

The goal is to get them back on the right path. The activity he did at that time was to experience the world of the night by hanging out and sleeping with street thugs at Simpang Lima Square, Semarang.

Gradually, because he often hung out at Simpang Lima and taught kindness, many people wondered about his figure.

"People who used to hang out at Simpanglima often knew who I was. I also invited street children to come to Ponpes," said Gus Ali.

The street children were then given the provision of religious knowledge, their primary needs were met, and they were given a place to live as they pleased.

"The names are also children, there are those who feel at home and stay for years, but there are also those who only last up to three weeks," he said.

Not only among thugs, but also among the elite, Gus Ali Gondrong also often goes in and out of nightlife entertainment venues. The discotheque in the city of Semarang is the place to spread his da'wah.
