*Apakah sapi ini sapi kemasukan iblis ataukah sapi ini berpikir sebelum
menjadi kurban pemnyemblihan, harus berani membela diri maka oleh sebab itu
ditendang sang penyemblih menjadi peot. Jangan dilupakan bahwa sapi adalah
mahluk ciptaan Illahi*.

   A Muslim cleric who was set to participate in* qurban *(animal
   sacrifice) during Sunday’s Idul Adha in Blitar, East Java, has died
   following three days of being in a coma after a cow struck his body.

Sureki, 64, died on Wednesday evening at Ngudi Waluyo Hospital after being
hit by the cow at Miftahul Jannah Mosque in Wlingi subdistrict, Blitar.

The incident started when one of several cows escaped from its tethers and
ran for about 100 meters from its original place, said Farhan, the mosque
caretaker.

Sureki — who was supposed to take part in the slaughtering of four
sacrificial cattle and 17 goats as part of a ritual for the Islamic Day of
Sacrifice — had arrived at the mosque where the cow was when the incident
occurred.

“The cow suddenly ran toward him and struck [Sureki’s] chin with its head,”
Farhan told *The Jakarta Post *on Thursday.

Sureki fell backward with the back of his head hitting the pavement of the
mosque yard. The incident left him unconscious and he was immediately
admitted to the hospital.

Farhan said the cow that hit the cleric was donated by Blitar Regent
Rijanto. “The cow is big and fierce. Its leash was broken when it tried to
escape,” he added.

Sureki, a resident of Mronjo village in Selopuro subdistrict, was the head
of the Selopuro chapter of Nahdlatul Ulama, the country’s largest Islamic
organization.

He was known during his lifetime as a cleric who was active in social and
religious events. Sureki was also a coordinator for Quran reading sessions
after *subuh *(dawn prayer) in East Blitar and manager of an orphanage in
Selopuro.

Sureki’s son Yusuf Affandi said his father had undergone a head operation,
but his condition had not improved. The late cleric was laid to rest on
Thursday morning. (afr)
