Moreover, “Haul Guru Sekumpul“ is a moment that all Muslims from all over Indonesia, especially South Kalimantan, have been eagerly waiting for.
Every year the “Haul Akbar Guru Sekumpul” agenda is always packed with more than 1 million worshipers from various cities and districts in South Kalimantan.
