Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir: “Deradicalization, An Accursed Munkar”

 

Safar 13, 1433 A.H, Sunday, January 08, 2012

JAKARTA – The deradicalization is a munkar which is accursed by Allah SWT. Thus was the latest statement of Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir (ABB) which he delivered from the Bareskrim detention center, Police Main HQ, Tuesday (3/1). The Muslims are being forced to be soft on the shirk and munkar, so that the practices of their tawheed are blended with shirk and their iman are integrated with the kafir ideology. Therefore, Allah forbids us to follow it!

The Islamic Ummah Have The Al-Wala and Al-Bara

Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir still talks firmly and clearly, although from behind the confinement of the Bareskrim, Police Main HQ. When Arrahmah.com visited him, Tuesday (3/1), he advised that the Islamic media must be fearless in saying the haq, so that the Islamic ummah understand the truth and that they could practice it.

Besides explaining lengthily the tawheed, and the error of the Muslims who have fallen into the misguidances of the murji’ah and khawarij understandings, Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir also mentioned about the deradicalization project which is being carried out vigorously by Ansyad Mbai through the BNPT (National Counter-Terrorism Agency). According to him the deradicalization is a munkar which is accursed by Allah SWT.

He cited the Qur’an Surah Al-Qalam verse 8 and 9. Allah SWT says:

“Then do not obey the deniers (of Allah's verses). They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].”

Ustadz Abu explained that it has already been a sunatullah that there will always be a mutual enmity between the Kuffar and Muslims, mutually in confrontation alias a fisticuffs. So, if anyone would want to merge or reconcile this enmity (between al-haq and al-batil) in the name of the national unity and integration, then in reality he has gone against Allah SWT. The difference is, the Muslims hate or are in enmity with the Kuffar because of Allah SWT (their iman), while the Kuffar hate or are hostile to the Muslims because of their nafs (carnal desires).

In Islam, Al-Wala (loyalty) and Al-Bara (anti-loyalty) are also taught, where the Prophet SAW himself taught us to be hard against the Kuffar and gentle with the fellow Muslims. Ustadz Abu also cited the verse of Allah SWT contained in QS Al-Mumtahanah, where Prophet Ibrahim AS had detached himself from his people who are mushrik.

The Deradicalization is Fighting the Purity of Tawheed and Iman

In that occasion, Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir also stressed that since the regime of Soekarno, to the current regime of SBY, the rulers/governments of NKRI (Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) are thaghut which contribute in marring the purity of tawheed and the iman of the Islamic ummah. So their tawheed and iman are marred, that the Islam that they practiced is a mixture of the haq (Islamic Shari'ah) and the batil (man-made ideologies).

In a more specific way, as in the book given by Ustadz Abu to Arrahmah.com and also to other visitors, entitled “Risalah Tawheed & Iman”, Ustadz Abu explained that the regime of SBY and the Densus 88 are active in fighting the purity of tawheed and iman by means of “deradicalization” so that the Islam ummah are behaving leniently towards the prevalent shirk and munkar, resulting in the practices of their tawheed being blended with the munkar and ideologies of kufr. So Allah forbids us to follow them, as in QS Al-Qalam, verse 8 and 9.

Therefore, the deradicalization is a munkar which is accursed by Allah SWT. May the curse of Allah befall the regime of SBY and the Densus 88 if they do not want to repent. They are the thaghut who make the Muslims bogged down from the light of tawheed and iman towards the darkness of shirk and munkar.

Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir (ABB): “Without An Islamic State, The Shari'ah Could Not Be Implemented In Kaafah (Totality)”

Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir is again stressing the importance of Muslims to have a power in order to implement or apply the Islamic Shari'ah. Without an Islamic state, the Muslims will never be able to apply the Islamic Shari'ah in kaafah. Thus was his statement when Arrahmah.com visited him at the Bareskrim confinement, Police Main HQ, Tuesday (3/1).

The Fundamental Problem of this Ummah is Tawheed

Alhamdulillah, Arrahmah.com have the opportunity to visit Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir (ABB), Tuesday (3/1) at the Bareskrim detention center, Police Main HQ, Jakarta. After being met by Ustadz Hasyim Abdullah, Ustadz Abu's aide, Arrahmah.com straight away went to see Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir who that day was wearing a white robe and skullcap.

A moment later, with great enthusiasm and optimism, he gave advice and his views regarding the problems of the Muslims in this country. According to him, the fundamental problem afflicting the Muslims in this country is that they do not understand the issue of tawheed. Whereas he said, tawheed and iman is the ruh of Islam, which if corrupted, all deeds in Islam will be invalid and not accepted by Allah SWT.

The destroyer of the Muslims's tawheed according to him is the murji’ah understanding, which says that iman is sufficient in the heart. Meaning, this understanding of the murji’ah contends that the requirement for the iman to be valid is simply to have a faith in the heart and an oral pledge. There is no practice that becomes the requirement for the iman to be valid. So according to this understanding, there is no deed that nullifies iman.

Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir explained that iman is the belief in the heart, which is pronounced orally and practiced with the deeds. Therefore, one's iman can become invalid if his speech utters kufr, or his deed does kufr.

Regrettably, the murji’ah understanding, which according to him is more dangerous than the deviation of the khawarij, today is professed by many Muslims in Indonesia. Nowadays, many Muslims have fallen into apostasy due to this astray doctrine of murji’ah. This astray understanding of the murji’ah is exploited a lot by the thaghuts who rule the countries of the Muslims, including the thaghut in Indonesia. Whereas, Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir said that these thaghuts are clearly denying the commandments of Allah SWT to regulate the country with the Islamic Shari'ah in kaafah (totality).

The Implementation of Islamic Shari'ah Needs an Islamic State

Finally, he advised the Islamic ummah to replace this thaghut regime with an Islamic system. The Islam Ummah must have the power, an Islamic state, the Daulah Islam, or whatever its name, so that the Islamic Shari'ah can be implemented in its totality, and this is the requirement of tawheed.

As for the way, or strategy to achieve it according to him is only two, namely da'wah and jihad. It will never be possible for an Islamic state to be established by way of democracy which is shirk, because it is mixing the haq (Islam) and the batil (democracy). Only with da'wah and jihad, that the Islamic ummah can establish an Islamic state, which would later apply the Islamic Shari'ah in kaafah. Allahu Akbar!
