Defence Letter Of Ustadz Aman: The Guilty One Is Fir'aun, Not Us
Muharram 24, 1432 A.H, Friday, December 31, 2010
Last Monday (6/12) Ustadz
Aman read out his defence letter in the District Court of West
Jakarta. In the defence letter entitled "The Guilty One Is
Fir'aun, Not Us", Ustadz Aman articulately and assertively
explained his position and the position of the government
which has imprisoned him. The following is the full content of
Ustadz Aman's defence letter. May it be useful!
The Guilty One Is Fir'aun, Not Us
All praises belong to Allah alone, the Ruler of the
universe, to Whom all affairs are surrendered, that there is
no truth except when sourced from His teachings, and there is
no blameworthiness unless otherwise it is wrong in His
teachings.
May salawat and salam be showered upon
Rasulullah who was sent to bring the laws and teachings, that
whoever is disputing it and deviating from it, then he has
lost his way. Indeed there is no error and violation except in
the violation against the law that he had brought.
Wa ba'du:
Allah Ta'ala says:
إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا خَاطِئِينَ
"Indeed, Pharaoh (Fir'aun)
and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners."
(Al-Qasas: 8)
This verse affirms that King Fir'aun, his official aides and
security apparatus are the guilty party who become the
suspects and defendants before the law of Allah Ta'ala.
But of course they did not admit that they are the guilty
party which deserve to be evicted to the court, because they
are the ruling regime in which all their actions and
speeches are legitimate by law and right according to the
law, the reason is because the existing law and legislation
are their own inventions.
Know that indeed Allah Ta'ala has mentioned that
among the errors of Fir'aun is that he has overstepped
beyond the limit as a creature (of Allah):
اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى
"Go you (Musa) to Fir'aun
for he has indeed transgressed all bounds,"
(An-Naziat: 17)
where he (Fir'aun) said:
أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى
"I am your Lord, Most
High." (An-Naziat: 24)
also his words:
مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرِي
"I do not know any god for
you besides me."
(Al-Qasas: 38)
In fact, with arrogance he said to Prophet Musa 'alaihissalam:
لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ
الْمَسْجُونِينَ
"If you take a god other
than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
(Ash-Shu'ara: 29)
So among the faults of Fir'aun is that, he claimed himself
to be the one and only god that has to be worshipped and he
threatens those who deny his godship with the threat of
imprisonment. But the question here is: what kind of godship
is claimed and demanded by Fir'aun, and that it is his
absolute prerogative right?
Did he claim to have created the heavens and the earth?
Did he claim that manfa'at (benefits) and
mudharat (harms) are in his hands?
And did he claim to possess knowledge of the unseen things (ghaib)?
The answer to all these questions is "NO" according to the
nas (texts) of the Qur'an. As for the first, i.e.
that Fir'aun did not claim himself to be the one who created
the heavens and the earth, and therefore on the contrary he
believes that it is Allah Who created it all, it is as what
had been said by Prophet Musa 'alaihissalam to
Fir'aun:
لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا أَنزَلَ هَؤُلاء إِلاَّ رَبُّ
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ بَصَآئِرَ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَا
فِرْعَونُ مَثْبُورًا
"You have already known
that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the
heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O
Fir'aun, that you are destroyed."
(Al-Isra: 102)
And as for the second, i.e. that Fir'aun did not claim to
bring manfa'at and mudharat in his hands,
where he could not bring in manfa'at and he could
not resist mudharat, it is as Allah Ta'ala
mentioned in the Qur'an where Allah Ta'ala struck
punishments on Fir'aun and his people which they were not
able to reject and avoid. Allah says:
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ
وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُّفَصَّلاَت
"So We sent upon them the
flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct
signs," (Al-A'raf: 133)
And it turned out that what Fir'aun and his followers did
when the punishment struck upon them was asking from Prophet
Musa 'alaihissalam so that he would make do'a
to Allah Ta'ala to remove the adzab from
them, whilst saying:
يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ لَئِن
كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ
مَعَكَ بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيلَ
"O Moses, invoke for us
your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove
the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we
will send with you the Children of Israel." (Al-A'raf:
134)
Therefore, Fir'aun believed that the manfa'at and
mudharat are only in the Hands of Allah Ta'ala,
and in fact Fir'aun also did not dare to confront the
mu'jizat (miracle) of Prophet Musa 'alaihissalam
during the duel which became the deciding factor, by hiring
magicians to confront it, and even that was after he had
asked for the opinions of his aides:
قَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ
عَلِيمٌ، يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ فَمَاذَا
تَأْمُرُونَ، قَالُواْ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي
الْمَدَآئِنِ حَاشِرِينَ، يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ،
وَجَاء السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالْواْ إِنَّ لَنَا لأَجْرًا
إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ، قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإَنَّكُمْ
لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ، قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن
تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ، قَالَ
أَلْقُوْاْ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْاْ سَحَرُواْ أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ
وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَأَوْحَيْنَا
إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا
يَأْفِكُونَ، فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُواْ
يَعْمَلُونَ، فَغُلِبُواْ هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُواْ صَاغِرِينَ،
وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
“Said the eminent among the
people of Fir'aun, 'Indeed, this is a learned
magician, who wants to expel you from your land [through
magic].' [Fir'aun said], 'So what do you
instruct?' They said, 'Postpone [the matter
of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
who will bring you every learned magician.' And the
magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, 'Indeed for us
is a reward if we are the predominant?' He
(Fir'aun) said, 'Yes, and, [moreover], you will be
among those made near [to me].' They said,
'O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the
ones to throw [first].' He (Musa) said:
'Throw,' and when they threw, they bewitched the
eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they
presented a great [feat of] magic. And We inspired to Moses,
'Throw your staff,' and at once it devoured
what they were falsifying. So the truth was established, and
abolished was what they were doing. And Pharaoh and his
people were overcome right there and became debased. And the
magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ]."
(Al A'raf: 109-120)
Such were the hired people of the false god, incapable
before the miracles of Musa 'alaihissalam, and they
even turned into having faith in Musa 'alaihissalam,
and Fir'aun was angry with them and killed them brutally.
And as for the part that Fir'aun did not know the unseen, it
was when he had concerns that his power would be destroyed
by a Bani Israel man, he then ordered his security forces to
kill all the male people of Bani Israel, but he instead
picked up and raised a male baby of the Bani Israel who
would later become the destroyer of his power, namely Musa
'alaihissalam:
فَالْتَقَطَهُ آلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا
وَحَزَنًا
"And the family of Fir'aun
picked him (Musa) up [out of the river] so that he would
become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief,"
(Al-Qasas : 8 )
From the verses earlier it is known that Fir'aun believed
that Allah Ta'ala is the only One Who created the
heavens and the earth and all that they contain, He is the
only One Who answers do'as and He is the only
Dzat Who knows the unseen.
So in that case, what kind of godship did Fir'aun pin on
himself and push away from any other, including Allah
Ta'ala?
To understand this, then check out the following
explanation:
Allah Ta'ala says:
إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ
"Legislation is not but for
Allah." (Yusuf: 40)
This verse explains that the authority for making laws,
legislations and ordinances is only the special right
(prerogative) of Allah. This is because the authority of
law-making is related to the creation, just as Allah
Ta'ala says:
أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ
"Unquestionably, it is His
to create and to govern." (Al-A'raf : 54)
Since the One Who creates is only Allah, then only Allah
alone is entitled to govern, veto and establish the laws and
rules. And just as Allah Ta'ala does not include
any creature in creation, then He also does not allow and
include any creature in the authority to make laws and
rules, just as He says:
وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا
"And He does not share His
Command with any person whatsoever."
(Al-Kahf : 26)
And he even forbade to include or associate someone in the
authority of law-making which is the prerogative of Allah
Ta'ala. He Ta'ala says:
وَلَا تُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا
"And don't you associate
anyone in His legislation."
(Al-Kahf :26 as in the mutawwatir qira'ah ibnu 'Amir)
Just as someone who believes that there is other creator
besides Allah Ta'ala is mushrik and
kafir, as well as considered as deifying other besides
Allah, since the right of creation is the special right of
Allah, then so are the people who rely the authority to make
laws and rules on others besides Allah, mushrik and
kafir, as well as already deifying others besides
Allah.
Just as someone who claims to
have had a share with Allah Ta'ala in creation is
convicted as already claiming himself as god - the partner
of Allah Ta'ala, then so are those who claim that
they are entitled to make the laws and rules besides Allah,
they have already claimed themselves as god - the partner of
Allah Ta'ala. And just as someone who claims that
he is the one who creates mankind and that there was no
other who creates them other than himself, is already
claiming himself as the one and only supreme god for
mankind, then so are those who claim that only they
themselves are entitled to make the laws and that there is
no law that must be made as a reference except their laws,
then it means that they are already claiming to be the
supreme god.
In order to make this issue clearer, then note the content
of this verse:
اتَّخَذُواْ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن
دُونِ اللّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُواْ
إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُواْ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ
سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
"They have taken their
scholars and priests as lords besides Allah , and [also] the
Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except
to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is
He above whatever they associate with Him." (At-Tawba:
31)
In this verse, Allah Ta'ala has condemned the
Christians with a lot of condemnations, including:
1. They have deified their 'alim ulama's (scholars)
and priests.
2. They have performed worships (ibaadah) to their
'alim ulama's and priests .
3. They have violated the laa ilaaha illallaah.
4. They have become mushrik.
5. And those 'alim (learned) position themselves as
god.
What can be the shirk (idolatry) of the Christians,
and their form of worship, and why was it said that those
'alim ulama's and priests have positioned themselves as
arbab besides Allah? Is it because of ruku'
(bowing) and sujud (prostration) or other reasons?
Observe the commentaries of the Prophet Salallahu 'alaihi
wa Sallam about this verse in a hasan hadith
which was narrated by At-Tirmidzi, that when this verse was
recited by Rasulullah Salallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam
in front of 'Adi Ibnu Hatim (at that time was a Christian
and later converted to Islam), and when 'Adi heard this
verse with the earlier condemnations, he said:
"We (the Christians) do not
worship them" i.e.
we never deify them and we never perform solat or
make do'a to them, so why are we considered as
having worshipped them, what form of worship do we have for
them, thus Rasulullah Salallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam
explained the forms of worship that they performed to their
'alim ulama's and priests with his saying:
أليسوا يحلون ما حرمه الله فتحلونه ويحرمون ما أحله الله
فتحرمونه
"Don't they make halal what Allah
forbids and then you make then halal, and they forbid what
Allah makes halal and then you forbid them?"
Then 'Adi answered:
"Yes, it's true."
Then Rasulullah Salallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam said:
"So that is the worship toward
them".
So the worship here is the reliance of the laws by the
people on the 'alim ulama's and priests, and the
acceptance of their laws as a reference and trust, whereas
it is the privilege of Allah Ta'ala where if it is
turned towards others besides Him, then it is shirk
akbar and when claimed by a creature then he has
already exceeded the limit and claimed himself to be god.
Al-Imam Hamd Ibnu 'Atiq said in his Kitab Ibthalut
Tandid pg. 76:
أجمع العلماء علي أن من صرف شيئا من نوعي الدعاء لغير الله فقد
أشرك ولو قال لا إله إلا الله وصلي وصام وزعم أنه مسلم
"The ulama's have agreed that
whoever turns anything from the ibaadah towards others
beside Allah, then he has turned mushrik even if he says laa
ilaaha illallaah, even if he performs solat and sawm, and
even if he claims to be Muslim."
Whereas, the reliance of the laws is an ibaadah
which is purely the right of Allah Ta'ala, and when
relied on others besides Allah Ta'ala, then it is
Shirk and those who make those laws as a reference
then they are mushrik even if it is only one law,
like what Allah Ta'ala has explained in the Qur'an
concerning carcasses:
وَلاَ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ
وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَى
أَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ
إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ
"Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name has not been
pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones (satans)
ever inspire their friends to contend with you, if you were to
obey them you would indeed be pagans (mushrik)."
(Al-An'am: 121)
This verse partly relates to the debate between the Awliya
Ar-Rahman and Awliya Ash-Shaithan (Quraish
Kafireen), where the kafir made halal
the carcass and debated the Muslims into joining them in
making it halal. Al-Hakim narrated with a saheeh
sanad from Ibnu 'Abbas Radliyallahu 'anhuma,
he said regarding those words of the kafir:
"What was slaughtered by Allah,
you don't want to eat, while what you slaughtered, you eat,"
so Allah sent down, "Verily, the evil
ones (satans) ever inspire their friends to contend with you."
Here, it is only one law, but Allah convicted those who follow
it as mushrik, "and
if you were to obey them, you would indeed be Mushrik,"
while those who accept it, as wali (friends) of
satan, "Verily, the evil
ones (satans) ever inspire their friends to contend with you"
and the law invented was labelled as the revelation and
whisper of satan.
If the reliance of the right of making just one law on other
besides Allah Ta'ala is shirk and making
that law as a reference in a verdict, accusation, fatwa
or sentence is a shirk akbar which invalidates one's
Islam, then what about the invention and reference to more
than one man-made law?
And when the claim for the authority of making one law is a
claim of godship, then what about the claim that it is he and
his institutions that have the authority to make laws, and
that any law would not be a valid law, as well as having the
legal effectiveness, except when approved and finalized by
himself and his institution? And this is the godship which
Fir'aun meant in his speech:
أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى
"I am your Lord, Most High."
(An-Naziat: 24)
and his words:
مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرِي
"I do not know any god for
you besides me." (Al-Qasas: 38)
i.e. that I am the only one who have the power to make laws
and there is no law that you can obey other than my laws.
Whereas, the ibaadah that Fir'aun wants from his
subjects is not the solat and do'a made to
him, but obedience and loyalty to his laws and orders.
So this is among the errors and offences charged by Allah
Ta'ala on Fir'aun, where he had planned and/or used other
people to commit the criminal act of opposing Allah and His
laws, whereas the charges strapped to the officials and
security forces of Fir'aun was because they had intentionally
provided assistance and convenience to Fir'aun in the criminal
act of opposing the power of Allah. And all of them, namely
Fir'aun, his officials and the security apparatus, had
deliberately and consciously done an evil pact, attempts or
assistance to commit the criminal act of opposing the laws of
Allah Ta'ala and terrorization on the people who want
to establish the laws of Allah Ta'ala with the terror
of imprisonment as mentioned in surah Ash-Shu'ara verse 29:
لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ
الْمَسْجُونِينَ
"If you take a god other than me, I
will surely place you among those imprisoned."
And the terror of murder as mentioned in surah
Ghafir verse 26:
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِي أَقْتُلْ مُوسَى
"And Pharaoh said,
'Let me kill Moses.'"
and the terror of torture as defined by his words:
فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ
وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ
"Be sure I will cut off your
hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you
crucified on trunks of palm-trees." (Ta-Ha: 71)
and so Fir'aun then executed terror by ordering his security
apparatus to kill the men who were feared to be endangering
his ideology and governance, as well as letting the women
neglected without protectors:
إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا
شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَائِفَةً مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءهُمْ
وَيَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءهُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
"Truly Pharaoh elated himself
in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing
a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept
alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief."
(Al-Qasas: 4)
Those are the charges and allegations which are fixed against
Fir'aun and his auxiliaries.
And let us compare that reality of Fir'aun with the reality of
the Government of the Republic of Indonesia.....
Is the rights of law-making authority in this country not in
the Hands of Allah alone and not referred to Him alone, but
given to many individual figures and institutions, i.e. given
to the MPR, DPR, DPRD and President and others? For example
see these proofs:
* Contained in the UUD (the Constitution) 1945 Chapter II
Article 3 section 1: "People's Consultative Assembly (MPR)
have the power to change and set the Basic Laws
(Constitution)."
This means that the MPR is the arbab (gods) -
the inventors of laws besides Allah Ta'ala, and the
people who sit as its members are the people who claimed to be
god like Fir'aun.
* In the Constitution 1945 Chapter VII Article 20 paragraph 1
it is stated that: "The House of Representatives (DPR)
holds the power to form legislation," whereas in the
teachings of Allah Ta'ala the Ruler of the heaven and
earth, the One Who holds the power to make the laws and rules
is only Allah Ta'ala:
إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ
"Legislation is not but for
Allah." (Yusuf: 40)
And the meaning of Article 20 paragraph 1 UUD 1945 is the same
as the words of Fir'aun:
أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى
"I am your Lord, Most High."
(An-Naziat: 24)
i.e. that I am the one who holds the power to establish laws
that apply to you.
* Then listed in the UUD 1945 Chapter VII Article 21 paragraph
1 is the statement that: "Members of the House of
Representatives (DPR) have the right to propose draft laws,"
where the shar'ie meaning is that the members of the DPR are
given the godly right by the UUD 45.
* Also in UUD 1945 Chapter III Article 5 paragraph 1 it is
stated that: "The President has the right to submit draft
laws to the House of Representatives (DPR)," meaning that
the President and DPR equally have the godly attributes
claimed by Fir'aun.
In fact the problem is not limited to the delegation of legal
authorities to such Fir'aun's institutions, but all are bound
and restricted with a supreme law book namely the UUD which is
the invention of the MPR (supreme institution of
Fir'aunism), where the DPR can make any law.
But must be in accordance with the UUD, such as in the UUD 45
Article 1 paragraph 2: "Sovereignty is in the hands of the
people and carried out according to Basic Laws (UUD)."
And the President also has his power limited to the UUD
invented by the arbab (gods) who sit in the MPR, not
limited by the laws of the God of the heaven and the earth, as
stipulated in the UUD 45 Chapter III Article 4 paragraph 1
that: "The President of the Republic of Indonesia holds
the governmental power, in accordance with the UUD."
So it turns out that the acts of the rulers and
government of this country exactly match the deeds of Fir'aun,
and so are the actions of this country's security forces the
same as the actions of Fir'aun's security forces.
When Fir'aun threatened every one who was disobedient to his
godship and refused to submit to his laws with the threat of
imprisonment:
لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ
الْمَسْجُونِينَ
"If you take a god other than
me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
(Ash-Shu'ara : 29)
Then so is the government of this country threatening every
one who opposes their law and who wants to replace it with the
Islamic law, with the threat of imprisonment, because it means
that the rule of Islamic law is to deny the godship of the
Pancasila and the godship of the law makers in the
kafir system of democracy.
When Fir'aun accused Prophet Musa 'alaihissalam and
his followers who invited mankind towards the teachings of
Allah Ta'ala and His laws, as a destroyer of the
order and of wanting to change the ideology of the state, thus
they deserved to be killed and eradicated, just as in his
words:
ذَرُونِي أَقْتُلْ مُوسَى وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن
يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِي الْأَرْضِ الْفَسَاد
“And Pharaoh said, 'Let me kill Moses and let him call
upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your
religion or that he will cause corruption in the land.'”
(Al-Ghafir : 26)
where the among the meanings of “dien” is the law and
legislation, just as Allah says:
مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ الْمَلِكِ
"He (Yusuf) could not take
his brother by the law (dien) of the king,"
(Yusuf: 76)
So is the government of this country accusing the tawheed
dai'es and mujahids who struggle to raise
the kalimah of Allah in this country with pure
tawheed da'wah and sincere jihad. The government accused
them of being a destroyer of the order and of wanting to
change the ideology of the state, who must be suppressed and
eradicated, as well as provided a strong legal foundation and
legal security in addressing the urgent problems in the
eradication of those criminal acts and the perpetrators.
When Fir'aun ordered all his apparatuses in all areas to
beware with the dangerous da'wah movement of Musa
'alaihissalam and his followers and so that they warned
the public from getting near it, as well as watching them so
as not to be influenced by the small groups who brought that
misguided, strange, dangerous and disturbing ideology, just as
Allah Ta'ala recounts:
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ، إِنَّ
هَؤُلَاء لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا
لَغَائِظُونَ، وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ
"Then Pharaoh sent among the
cities gatherers [and said], "Indeed, those are but a small
band, And indeed, they are enraging us, and indeed we all,
with no exception, must always be vigilant."
(Ash -Shu'ara: 53-56)
So is the government of this country doing the same thing,
where they accuse the youths who desire for the success of the
religion of Islam with tawheed and jihad, as astray
people who coerce their wants and whose movements need to be
watched out and observed, that an anti-jihad special
detachment (densus) needs to be formed in order to
handle it and a public police needs to be created in order to
restrict their da’wah and teaching movement, as well
as the special laws that need to be invented in order to trap
the actors and supporters until there appeared the laws of the
Republic of Indonesia no. 15 year 2003 about the Establishment
of the governmental regulations as a substitute to law no. 1
year 2002 about the eradication of the criminal act of jihad,
to become a law.
The measures taken by the government of this country and the
measures of the government of Fir'aun are very similar indeed.
أَتَوَاصَوْا بِهِ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
"Is this the legacy they have
transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people
transgressing beyond bounds!" (Az-Zariyat : 53)
تَشَابَهَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ
"Their hearts are alike."
(Al-Baqara : 118)
If this matter is certainly clear, then it is obvious that the
guilty ones in the issue of the military training in Aceh are
the Fir'auns of this country, their supporters and security
apparatus who have executed an evil pact, attempts or
assistance in committing a criminal act of opposing the
authority of Allah Ta'ala, Who has commanded the
Muslims to do military training in His verse:
وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍ وَمِن
رِّبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدْوَّ اللّهِ
وَعَدُوَّكُمْ
"And prepare against them
whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which
you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy."
(Al-Anfal : 60)
While among the forces that must be prepared is archery or
shooting, just as the Prophet Salallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam
said:
أَلا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ
"Remember, verily the
strength is the shooting, remember, the strength is the
shooting." (HR Muslim)
Whereas the shooting is by using the arrows, firearms and
other devices according to the suitable era and development of
technology.
To the extent that it is wajib (obligator) upon every
Muslim male to be proficient in using them in order to do
i'dad and jihad fie sabilillah. However, this
kafir government of Indonesia precisely forbids the
Muslims from possessing and using firearms, ammunitions and
the likes, especially when used for the ibaadah of
jihad, as declared by the anti-jihad laws chapter 9 that
"Every person who unlawfully brings in to Indonesia, makes,
accepts, attempts to acquire, hands over or attempts to hand
over, masters, carries, owns stocks of them or has in his
possession, keeps, transports, hides, uses or issues into and
out of Indonesia a certain firearm, ammunition or a certain
explosive material and other dangerous materials with the
intent to commit the criminal acts of terrorism, shall be
sentenced to death penalty or life imprisonment or minimum
imprisonment for 3 (three) years and maximum of 20 (twenty)
years."
Consider this 'plastic' article which ensnares all
parties that has involvement in the procurement of firearms,
ammunitions and other materials for the purpose of jihad. And
among the evidence which shows that the criminal acts of
terrorism defined in the plastic article earlier are I'dad
and jihad is the reality that people who rob to loot other
people's property by using firearms are only snared by Article
365 of the KUHP (Criminal Code) not with the anti terrorism UU
in which the sentence is very light which makes the robbers
getting more addicted. In fact, the use of firearms,
ammunitions and the likes is a legal and even required thing
if the purpose is to defend the nation and government, as well
as the ideology of the kafir rulers, thus due to that
the army and police are armed. Very evil and wicked are the
adherents of this kind of kafir law, where firearms
are prohibited from use, and in fact even if only for keeping
them, if the purpose is to defend the religion and law of
Allah, in fact knowing information regarding its existence and
not right away reporting it is also not free from the noose of
its punishment. However, if the one using it is the apparatus
who upholds the kafir law and who maintains the
kafir state system, then it is a legitimate thing.
And it is the plot of the enemies of Allah Ta'ala to
keep themselves strong, as well as armed, and the Islamic
ummah remaining weak, far from power and weapons so as to
remain easily herded and regulated and destroyed when they are
resisting, as in His verse:
وَدَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ
وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُم مَّيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً
"Those who disbelieve wish
that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they
could come down upon you in one [single] attack."
(An-Nisa: 102)
The government of Fir'aun of this country wants to extinguish
the light of the religion of Allah Ta'ala in all
sorts of ways, but it is not possible for the light of the sun
to be extinguished though it can be temporarily covered by the
clouds in some places.
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ
وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ
الْكَافِرُون
"They want to extinguish the
light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to
perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it."
(At-Tawbah: 32)
Therefore, to the government of this country please do as you
like against us!... but remember we all will die, and before
Allah Ta'ala we all will know whether the ideology of
Pancasila which is now being upheld, the UUD 1945
which all these while has been made as a reference and the
NKRI (Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) which they
say is a 'fixed price', could save you from the adzabs
of Allah Ta'ala or would they instead bring you
destructions?
وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
"And those who have wronged
are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be
returned." (Ash-Shu'ara: 227)
Today, since the Fir'aun-like regime is in power, then all the
malicious actions committed by its apparatuses in carrying out
its orders are all simply legitimate, although it's a horrible
terror or torture in secret places far from the reach of the
media and in fact even murder by way of mayhem, and the same
goes with the confiscation of properties.... All these are
simply valid because it is already in conformity with the
law.... What law? Yes, the laws which are made by the Fir'auns
of this country... The essence is that it is power and
strength that could make something legal or not....
However, when comes a day where power and dominion only
belongs to Allah Ta'ala and all the regimes of
Fir'aun have disappeared and become humiliated, then it is
there that we will meet and direct our disputes to Allah the
Almighty:
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ
"Indeed, you are to die, and
indeed, they are to die. Then indeed you, on the Day of
Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute." [Az
Zumar: 30-31]
Yes we will dispute... we are on the side that endeavoured to
implement the law of Allah Ta'ala in this world, who
were accused as criminals by this country's regime of Fir'aun,
while this government and its legal apparatuses are on the
side that insisted on running the thaghut law and
enforce that law upon mankind....
Let's wait together the verdict and sentencing by the Ruler of
the universe in the akhira later:
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ
أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَى
"Say, 'Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you
will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is
guided.'" [Ta-Ha: 135]
As for in this trial, please judge what you want to judge,
because the decision to be decided has already been written in
Al-Lauh Al-Mahfudh 50 thousand years before the
creation of the heaven and the earth, to the point that we do
not fear or we are not worried, but the one who should be
worried and afraid are those who took part in oppressing us
for no sin except that we have faith in Allah Ta'ala
and we obey His laws, because indeed Allah Ta'ala
will hasten the punishment for for the slightest injustice in
this world besides that which Allah prepares in the akhira.
Rasulullah Salallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam said:
بابان معجّلان عقو بتهما فيالدنيا: البغي والعقوق
"Two doors in which the punishment
is hastened in this world: oppression and rebelliousness."
Also his saying:
إن الله ليملي للظالم حتى إذا أخذه لم يفلته
"Verily, Allah truly buys time for
the unjust people, so that when He punishes them, they cannot
escape Him."
اللهم يا منزل الكتاب ويا مجري السحاب ويا هازم الأحزاب أعز
الإسلام والمسلمين وأهلك الكفرة الظالمين ودمر أعداء الدين
وصلى الله على نبينا محمد واله وصحبه وسلم
والسلام على عباد الله المؤمنين
Aman Abdurrahman
