Yogyakarta, October 2, 2025 — Indonesia’s Minister of Religious Affairs, Prof. Dr. KH. Nasaruddin Umar, MA, achieved a 75% public satisfaction score in the latest survey by Indo Survey & Consulting (ISC), conducted ahead of the first anniversary of President Prabowo’s administration. The figure places him among the nation’s top-performing ministers, alongside the Minister of Finance, the Cabinet Secretary, and the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs.

The high rating reflects the tangible success of the Ministry’s flagship programs — from the digital transformation of Hajj and Umrah services that enhanced transparency and efficiency, to the nationwide expansion of religious moderation initiatives across Islamic boarding schools and interfaith communities. The Ministry’s swift humanitarian responses to local religious conflicts and its push to empower pesantren as centers of community-based economic growth also gained public appreciation.

UIN Sunan Kalijaga Rector, Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan, praised the achievement: “We deeply appreciate Minister Nasaruddin’s commitment to providing transparent, inclusive religious services that truly benefit society. His leadership represents a strong model of technocratic excellence under President Prabowo’s administration.”

With consistent performance, integrity, and a people-centered approach, Prof. Nasaruddin continues to strengthen the Ministry’s strategic role in fostering national harmony, tolerance, and peace.
