There are very many famous Indonesian Islamic preachers. Some of them preach on TV and Youtube, some others are often invited by some Islamic communities to preach in a certain village or town. The personal life of some of those famous preachers, especially those who preach on TV, is sometimes also exposed.
For me, I don't watch their preach on TV. One reason is that because of the commercial breaks. Another reason is because I haven't found for myself a truly inspiring Islamic preacher on TV. And when there is a famous preacher coming to my town, I don't come to that because I can't stand the crowd. So, Youtube is my choice to watch a preacher giving a preach. I just watch if I want to.
Because I don't know much about those famous Indonesian Islamic preachers, I won't do any ranking on them. Maybe I can rank them based on their handsomeness or their voice quality, but that ranking idea is very ridiculous. If there are some Indonesian bloggers or youtubers who want to rank them based on whatever (as long as they use polite language), that is still fine because they have their own opinion.
But I am now still confused about the government's decision to rank them. There are only 200 Indonesian Islamic preachers who are recommended by the government. What are the government's considerations to choose those 200 preachers to be recommended? I don't have any clue about why the government recommends 200, not 500, or not 50. I don't understand what is the government's true reason to rank them.
Have the persons in the government who are in charge of ranking those preachers been expertise enough at understanding Islam as a whole? More expertise than those preachers recommended and unrecommended?
