His daughter, Dr. Nicky Estu Putu Muchtar, recalled her father’s words: “Child, Abi leaves behind no wealth, only knowledge.” To Nicky, KH. Amirul Mu’minin was more than a father who urged her to study; he set a living example of unwavering dedication to learning.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Nicky expressed gratitude for the honor bestowed upon her father, while also asking forgiveness for any shortcomings he may have had during his time studying at Unisma.
According to Unisma Rector Prof. Dr. H. Maskuri, M.Si, KH. Amirul Mu’minin was known for remarkable generosity, actively involved with NGOs that helped build mosques in Surabaya and Mojokerto.
Prof. Maskuri also noted his active involvement in community organizations, recalling how, even while completing paperwork for his open examination, he remained deeply enthusiastic despite not being in optimal health.
