In the reign of President Habibie, Abdurrahman had stopped at Soeharto's house in Jalan Cendana. Gus Dur took a so-called "village's kiai" from the Metro, Central Lampung, Sumatera. At that time the fasting month.
After an iftar and talk as necessary, Pak Harto asked, "Gus Dur and Pak Kiai will be here until evening?"
"O no," said Gus Dur. "I have to go, because there are promises with Gus Joyo, the brother of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X. But Mr. Kiai is'll stay here. That would be a priest praying Taraaweeh act, right?"
Pak Harto nod.
"But," said Gus Dur, "Previously there needs to be clarification first?"
"Clarification of what?" Pak Harto asked.
"It must be clear first, would prayer Taraaweeh use NU style? If old NU how, if new NU how?" Pak Harto asked more and more astonished.
"Why is there a variety of styles NU? If the style of the old NU, tarawihnya 23 cycles. NU Style new, discounted 60 percent (11 cycles)!"
Pak Harto just laughed, because it does not really know. And Mr. Kiai said, "Yes, deh. Discounts 60 percent was okay,"
Please note, "Tarawih discount" to 11 cycles it is a style of Muhammadiyah.
Soeharto family itself is called the "Living by Muhammadiyah, death by NU". Because, Pak Harto has never admitted that he learned during school in Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah junior high school (so "follow the teachings" of Muhammadiyah). But when Mrs. Tien Suharto (his wife) died, at her home in Jalan Cendana busy with the "tahlilan" event (three days, seven days, 40 days, 100 days and beyond), which is a trade mark of NU.
So if Gus Dur offer "discounts Taraaweeh" 11 cycles, the Pak Harto gladly accept it. That meant a return to "khittah".
NU = Nahdratul Ulama (one of Islamic organizations in Indonesia with the largest followers)
