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!
