    INTRODUCTION

    The authorities of the NKRI (Negara Kesatuan Republik

    Indonesia The One Nation of the Republic of Indonesia) since

    its independence until now are ght

    All praises are for Allh, the Owner, the Ruler, and the Manager

    and Custodian of all that exists. Prayers and blessings be upon HisMessengers and upon the most trusted Prophet Muammad , upon all his

    family, all his companions, and all those servants of Allh who follow his

    sunnah until the Day of Judgement. mn. Amm badu

    Allh decrees:

    Verily, they are but plotting a plot.

    And I (too) am planning a plan.

    So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal you gently with them for

    a while.0F

    1

    Within these yt, Allh asserts that the disbelievers always plot

    (deceitfully) in order to mislead and apostatize the Islmiccommunity, but

    Allh ultimately foils their plots. Amongst their deceitful plots, especially

    1SrahA riq (86), yt 15-17.

    towards the end of this age, are ght movements aimed at controlling

    nations with Islmic communities, even the Islmic community of the

    nation of Indonesia.

    Since its independence (Indonesia), it has been affected by thedisbelievers,so much so, that it has been under the control of Nationalists,

    Socialists, Democrats, and Secularists.

    They regulate Indonesia by means of ignorant laws and discard the

    laws ofAllh, and thus they are disbelieving ghtwho have mislead and

    plunged the Islmic community towards darkness in this life (shirk,

    abomination, and disbelief) as in the manner explained by Allh in His

    decree:

    But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliy (supporters and

    helpers) are ght[false deities and false leaders, etc.],..1F

    2

    The ght who are in authority throughout the NKRI ostensiblyportray themselves as Muslims by means of practicing alt, aum, zakt,

    ajj, etc., so that the Islmiccommunity willingly accepts them as the ll

    Amr who are to be obeyed, and even for this purpose the ght hire

    ulam s, astidha, and muballigh who hold to extreme creeds in order to

    assure the Islmiccommunity that they are not ght.

    Amongst the plots of the ght Indonesians now, is the publication of

    the book entitled, Mereka Bukan Thaghut (They are not ght) written

    by Khairul Ghazali in order to deceive the Islmic community into

    believingthat the NKRI regime is indeed Muslim and not ght.

    In order to counter this extreme danger against taud, a servant of

    Allh who follows the ulam of the salaf, that is ustdh Amman

    Abdurrahman wrote the book, YesThey are indeed ght.

    Within that book he disassembles the fraud of Khairul Ghazali by

    explaining the definition ofght. It is clearly evident that Khairul Ghazali

    is being manipulated by the ght in order to bring about the success of

    their plot. Thus the book They are not ght is a form of plot from the

    ght with the aim of destroying the taud and imn of the Muslim

    community. So, to Khairul Ghazali I warningly remind that your position

    now is that of being included within the group Anru- ght, so

    immediately repent and endeavor to become one with the group that is

    Anrullh, as commanded by Allh in His decree:

    O you who believe! Be you helpers (in the Cause) of Allh

    2F

    3

    It is hoped that Ustdh Amman Abdurrahman is always helped byAllh in his endeavors to maintain and uphold taud and that all books he

    writes be accepted as righteous acts in the sight ofAllh. mn.

    Yesthey are indeed ght!

    Reply to the manipulation of Khairul Ghazali within his book,

    They are not ght.

    All praise be to Allh the Lord of all that exists, and it is hoped that

    peace and blessings rain down upon our Prophet Muammad , his family

    and the companions.

    Allh decrees:

    And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies Shayn

    (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with

    adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your

    Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them

    alone with their fabrications.3F

    4

    This ayh makes it clear that everyProphet possessed enemies againsttheir dawah, and those enemies disseminated polished, evil whisperings in

    the most perfect of forms in order to deceive the community. Likewise also,

    4SrahAl Anm (6), ayh 112.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    8/115

    7

    the successors to the Prophets in giving dawah also possessed many

    adversaries and enemies who hurled falsehoods packed within attractive

    wrappings in order to deceive the community.

    That is presumably what was trying to be achieved by the author ofthe book They are not ght, by the name of Khairul Ghazali, who

    volunteered himself to be a mouthpiece of the ght in order to cover up

    their disbelief and tyranny, which is clearly apparent in its aim to slander

    most foul the dawah towards taud.

    What I have written here highlights two issues:

    - Firstly, it highlights the turbidity (confused obscurity) of the meaningofghtconducted by Khairul Ghazali within his book.

    - And secondly, is the refutation of his slander against me that I accusedall of the PNS of disbelief and that I hold the opinion that all of the

    PNS are ght.

    Firstly, the significance of the meaning of ght.

    Khairul Ghazali has defended the ght government by means of

    adulterating the colloquial (linguistic) meaning of ght with its legalmeaning (namely, mixed and matched the descriptive with the prescriptive),

    and at the conclusion of what he wrote he adhered to the linguistic meaning

    and discarded its legal meaning. So much so, that he has included within that

    ght blueprint those who are immoral who have not quite reached the stage

    of the disbelief of the corruptors, those who are immoral who expropriate the

    forests and environment, etc., wherein he says in his book, At present,

    activities of the war against ght Satan, the satisfaction of desires, the

    sale of cheap narcotics, corruption, magic, purveyors of vice, traditional

    witchcraft, mob justice, authorities who abuse power, police and military

    who persecute and oppress the community, those who destroy the forests and

    environment, and others should not be carried out in a harsh manner

    (pages 70-71)

    Whereas Islm came bearing with it the change from a colloquial

    meaning to a legal meaning. For example, the word alt in its colloquial

    sense is du (invocation) whilst its legal meaning is the words and deedsthat begin with the takbr and finishing with salm. Likewise also aum,

    which colloquially means al imsk (self-restraint, refraining) whilst its legal

    meaning is to refrain from food, drink and intercourse from the beginning of

    dawn until the onset of sunset with such as its intention. Furthermore, in like

    manner, the term ght colloquially means beyond the limit of whilst its

    legal meaning is everything that exceeds the limits by a good, obedient

    servant or the one who follows or is obedient.

    Imm Ibnu Jarr a abar, may Allh have mercy upon him, said:

    And that which is true according to me regarding the meaning of ght is

    all that is opposed to Allh whereever it is obeyed besides Him, both

    whether it is under compulsion by it towards its worship or in obedience

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    10/115

    9

    towards it by those who worship it, and that is the same whether that

    worship is towards mankind, or Shain, or idols, or statues, or anything

    else. (Tafsr A abar 3/21, referKitb A ghtfrom Ab Bashir p. 66).

    Shaikh ul Islm Ibnu Taimiyyah, may Allhhave mercy upon him,said: ght is derived from (the word) ughyn, wherein ughyn is to

    exceed the limits of, that is suppression, repression, tyranny, and

    persecution. Thus, that which is worshipped besides Allh, if its worship is

    not hated is ght, and because of that the Prophetcalled statues ght;

    within a a adth he said: And a person who worships that which

    is ght follows those ght. And that which is obeyed in an immoral

    manner besides Allh, and that which is also obeyed and followed in error

    besides the Deen of aqq, both whether it is accepted as information that

    differs from the Book of Allh or its commands that differ from the

    commands of Allah are obeyed then that is ght, and because of that a

    person who refers to laws that add to or detract from the Book of Allh are

    known as ght (Majm al Fatw: 28/200, refer Kitb A ghtfrom

    Ab Bashir p. 66).

    Imm Ibnu Qayyim, may Allhhave mercy upon him, said: ght

    is everything that exceeds the limits by a servant, both that which is

    worshipped or that which is followed or obeyed, thus the ght of every

    group is the people who refer to laws besides those of Allh and His

    Messenger, or they worship that besides Allh, or they follow guidance

    besides that ofAllh, or they are obedient in whatever they are unaware of,

    that it is obedience towardsAllh; that is the ght of the world, and if it is

    observed and the condition of mankind is observed together with it, surely

    you will see the majority of them having turned away from the worship ofAllh(ibdatullh) towards the worship of that which is ght(ibdatu-

    ght), and from obedience towards Him as well as following His

    Messenger towards obedience and the following of ght. (Almul

    Muwaqqiin: 1/50, refer Kitb A ghtfrom Ab Bashir p. 67).

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    11/115

    10

    Imm Al Qurub, may Allh have mercy upon him, said: ghtis

    magic, Satan, and every figure upon deviation. (Al Jmi li Akmil

    Qurn: 3/282, refer Kitb A ghtfrom Ab Bashir p. 67)

    Imm An Nawaw, may Allh have mercy upon him, said: Al Laith,

    Ab Ubaidah, Al Kisaiy and the assembly of linguists have said: ght is

    everything that is worshipped besides Allh . (Shar aMuslim: 3/18,

    refer Kitb A ghtfrom Ab Bashir p. 67).

    It needs to be remembered that what is known as ibdah is not just

    the ritual acts ofalt, du, istighthah, sujd and other such things, that

    are already known by many people, but rather reliance on the right to create

    laws or obedience to created laws is the observance of worship towards the

    creator of those laws in the manner prescribed by the decree ofAllh:

    They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to

    be their lords besides Allh (by obeying them in things which they

    made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without

    being ordered by Allh), and (they also took as their Lord)

    Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians)

    were commanded [in the Taurt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel))

    to worship none but one Ilh (God - Allh) L ilha illa Huwa

    (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and Glory be

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    12/115

    11

    toHim, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate

    (with Him).5

    Within this ayh Allh pronounces that the Christians have five

    convictions:

    1. They deify their religious scholars and monks.2. They worship others besides Allh, namely their religious scholars

    and monks.

    3. They contravene L ilha illallh (none has the right to beworshipped but Allh).

    4. They have become polytheists.5. Their religious scholars (clergy) and monks have positioned

    themselves as lords (besides Allh).

    Imm At Tirmidh, may Allh have mercy upon him, relates that at

    the time this ayhwas recited by the Messenger of Allh in front ofAd

    bin tim (a companion who was once Christian and who later embraced

    Islm),Ad bin tim heard this ayhwith its pronouncements and said:

    They (the Christians) do not worship their religious scholars (clergy) and

    monks. So it means that what is in the minds of the Christians is: why does

    Allhpronounce that we (the Christians) have deified them, or in what way

    have we associated partners with or made gods alongside Him to the point

    whereby it is stated that we worship them even though we have never

    performed altor prostrated ourselves before them or beseeched them? The

    Messenger stated: Have they (the clergy, monks, rabbis) not made all

    that which Allh hasdeclared to bearm and you allfollowed (accepted)

    their decision to make that something all; and have they not madearm that which Allh has declared to be all and you all followed

    (accepted) their decision to make that something arm? Then Ad

    5SrahAt Taubah (9), ayh 31.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    13/115

    12

    answered: Yes, and the Messenger said: That is the form of their

    (Christians) worship towards them (clergy and monks).

    Thus, the observance of ibdah (worship) here is when the scholars

    (clergy and monks and rabbis and scholars) create laws besides the laws of

    Allh, and then those laws are followed (observed) and obeyed by their

    followers (devotees), and it is in this way that such clergy, monks, rabbis,

    and scholars have been labeled by Allh as Arbb - lords - or as people

    who have positioned themselves as gods besides Allh, whereas a person

    who positions himself as a law maker or as a god besides Allh, then he

    is a disbeliever. Another evidence of this is the decree of Allh:

    Or have they partners with Allh (false gods), who have instituted

    for them a Deen (religion) which Allh has not allowed?...5F

    6

    Within this ayhAllhhas labeled those who have created a law or

    laws besides the laws of Allh shurak (partners), and who have been

    elevated by their supporters as a partner or partners with Allh, whereas aperson or people who position themselves as a partner or partners with Allh

    is a/are disbeliever/s.

    Shaikh Muammad bin Abdul Wab, may Allh have mercy upon

    him, said: Thagut in general encompasses everything that is worshipped

    besides Allh, whilst in the process of partaking willingly in the observance

    of such worship, whether it is that which is worshipped, or that which is

    followed, or that which is obeyed rather than obedience towards Allh and

    His Messenger, and that is ght.

    6Srah Ash Shra (42), ayh 21.

    14/115

    13

    ghthas many varieties, with five prominent personages:

    Firstly: Shain, who invites towards the worship of another besides Allh,

    with the proof of that being the decree ofAllh:

    Did I not ordain for you, O Children of dam, that you should

    not worship Shain (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.6F

    7

    Secondly:A tyrannical government that changes the laws of Allh,7F

    8and the

    proof for this is His decree:

    Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in

    that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent

    7SrahY-Sn (36), ayh60.

    8Shaikh ul IslmIbnu Taimiyyah, may Allh have mercy upon him, states: A person who makes all

    something that is agreed upon to be arm, or who changes the already agreed upon sharah, then thatperson is a disbelieving apostate according to the consensus of the jurists. (Majm al Majm 3/267).

    Take a look: Now gambling is permitted in specific locations, prostitution is permitted in specific placesand moreover, both of those practices are taxed and the practice of usury is given legal protection. Is thisnot a form of making all (that which is arm)?

    Moreover, did Allh not establish that there is no choice in the acceptance of His doctrines? Yet now they

    establish a system that bestows the right upon the society to choose whatever suits their fancy dependent

    upon the majority of the society? Is that not a form of changing the sharah? (Publisher).

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    15/115

    14

    down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their

    disputes) to the ght (false judges, etc.) while they have been

    ordered to reject them. But Shain (Satan) wishes to lead them

    far astray.9

    Thirdly: A person who decides upon law with something that has not

    been revealed by Allh,10 and the evidence for that is the decree of

    Allh:

    And whosoever does not judge by what Allh has revealed, suchare the Kfirn (disbelievers).

    10F

    11

    Fourthly: A person who claims to know unseen matters even though this

    issue is specifically the privilege of Allh, and the evidence for that is the

    decree of Allh:

    9SrahAn Nis (4), ayh60.

    10Imm Ibnu Kathr, may Allh have mercy upon him, states: Whoever abandons (desists from) a law (or

    laws) that is mukam(precise judgement) revealed to Muammad Ibnu Abdillh , the seal of theProphets, and he then arbitrates by means of other already removed sources of jurisprudence, then he is

    a disbeliever, then what on earth is to be said of a person who makes judgements on the basis of Al Yasa(Genghis Khan, who laid down for them Al-Yasiq, which is a book comprising laws which hetook fromdifferent laws, from Judaism,Christianity, the Islamic religion and others) and gives it precedence over theSharah, then whoever does this has become a disbeliever according to the consensus of the Muslims. (AlBidyah wan Nihyah 13/119).When this is the state of a person who arbitrates with manufactured laws, then what is to be said for the onewho punishes by means of those manufactured laws? This is known as ght. They establish institutionsfor the formulation of laws and legislation, to modify, add to, change them and so on. (Publisher).11

    SrahAl Midah (5), ayh 44.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    16/115

    15

    (He Alone) the All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen), and He

    reveals to none his Ghaib.

    Except to a messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He

    informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a

    band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind

    him.12

    And His decree:

    And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib (all that is hidden), none

    knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in (or on) the

    earth and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not

    a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but

    is written in a clear record.12F

    13

    Fifthly: Everything that is worshipped besides Allh, and even being willing

    to worship such, and the proofof this is the decree ofAllh:

    And if any of them should say: Verily, I am an Ilh (a god)

    besides Him (Allh), such a one We should recompense with

    12SrahAl Jinn (72), yt26-27.

    13SrahAl Anm (6), ayh 59.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    17/115

    16

    Hell. Thus We recompense the limn (polytheists and wrong-

    doers, etc.).14

    And it must be understood that such a person cannot be considered to

    be a person who believes in Allhexcept that he disbelieves in ght, andthe evidence is the decree of Allh:

    Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path.

    Whoever disbelieves in ghtand believes in Allh, Then he has

    grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break...14F

    15

    Ar Rushdu is the religion of Muammad andAl Ghayy is the

    religion of Ab Jahl, while Al Urwah al Wuthq is a witness to L ilha

    illallh, wherever and whenever this issue involves dissenters (deniers) and

    decrees. To deny all forms of worship besides that towards Allh, and to

    determine (decree) that all worship is only towards Allh who holds nopartners with Himself. (Majm at-Taud)

    Shaikh Muammadbin Hamd al Faq, may Allh have mercy upon

    him, said: And what can be inferred from the statements of the salaf:

    That ght is everything that distorts and prevents a servant from the

    worship of Allh and from the perfection (purification) of submission and

    obedience towards Allh and His Messenger, and encompassed within

    those issues is Shain from the jinn andShain from amongst mankind,as well as tress, rocks, and others. And there is no longer any further doubt

    that incorporated within these matters is the dissolution of laws by means of

    14SrahAl Anbiy (21), ayh 29.

    15SrahAl Baqarah (2), ayh256.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    18/115

    17

    non-Islmic legislation and non-Islmic teachings, as well as other matters

    created by mankind in order to (for the purpose of) become (to be utilized

    as) the body of legal determinations in the matters of blood, sex, and wealth.

    This means to topple and be rid of the legislation of Allh by replacing

    udd, the prohibition of usury, intoxicants, adultery, and others, with lawsthat have been designated all (by the ght) and which will be protected,

    enforced, and implemented by their institution(s). The fact is that such

    created legislation is ght and the person who created it, as well as those

    who implement it within society, are also ght. And likewise also all books

    created from the human mind, in order to turn away from the truth brought

    by the Messenger of Allh , whether created by their authors with or

    without such intention, are ght. (shiyah Kitb Fatil Majd: p. 282,

    Drul Kutub Al Ilmiyyah, refer Kitb a ght, Ab Bashir, p. 70).

    And the statementsof other scholars about the legal meaning of ght

    and mentioned examples from amongst ght are the authorities who

    enforce and practice created laws whilst doing away with the laws of Allh.

    The emphasis of many writers regarding ght concerns (focuses upon)

    discussions of the ght actions of authorities, such as those mentioned

    earlier, which have already been stated as not being within a framework

    deemed to be a single meaning for ghtfor them alone, but however, the

    conferral of a majority portion because the conditions require that, where

    other forms of ght, such as shamans and witches (or their like) are

    protected or receive protection from the ght laws.

    And even more so, in the sentiment,biased style of the BNPT (Badan

    Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme National Council for Combating

    Terrorism), Khairul Ghazali states that the those dawin of taud who areopposed to the government ghtideology are also ght, as in the manner

    in which he states on page 61 (of his book, Mereka Bukan Thaghut They

    are Not ght): At this level, those ideologues who push, agitate and

    enthuse overwhelmingly for jihad, have finally and officially become

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    19/115

    18

    unconsciously ght reconciled to the meaning of ght, and actions

    that are beyond the limits and extreme in the understanding of something

    and towards radical acts that give rise to the disruption of the peace and

    tranquility of other people.

    Strangely however, he opines that the government that rules by means

    of ght laws and fights against the enforcement of Islmic Sharah are

    not the ghtand not disbelievers by referring to Shaikh Al Albn, who in

    regard to this matter has fallen into an error in understanding, Ghula ul

    Murjiah, wherein he is of the opinion that the actions of these ght

    governments are only kufrun dna kufrin (a minor act of disbelief does not

    expel from Islm). That is a false understanding in contradiction to the

    aqdah of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamah who are of the certitude that to

    rule with created (manmade) laws is disbelief which expels one from

    Islmwithout the need to observe the belief within the heart.

    Al Imm Ibnu Kathr, may Allh have mercy upon him, said:

    Whoever abandons (desists from) a law (or laws) that is mukam (precise

    judgement) revealed to Muammad Ibnu Abdillh , the seal of the

    Prophets, and he then arbitrates by means of other already removed

    sources of jurisprudence, then he is a disbeliever; then what on earth is to

    be said of a person who makes judgements on the basis of Al Yasa and gives

    it precedence over the Sharah, then whoever does this has become a

    disbeliever according to the consensus of the Muslims. (Al Bidyah wan

    Nihyah, 13/119)

    Al Yasa was a book of laws created by Genghis Khan, the ruler of the

    Tartars. This book consisted of a collection of teachings, some of which wastaken from the Taurt of the Jews, the Injl of the Christians, Al Qurn, and

    innovative teachings added with the result being codified into a book named

    Al Yasa or Yasiq. The Muslim scholars unanimously state that whoever

    turns to the use of such a book of laws, then he is a disbeliever according

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    20/115

    19

    to the consensus of the Muslims. So too also by means of Yasiq Ar

    (Modern Yasiq), that is basic laws, KUHP (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum

    Pidana - Book of the Criminal Justice Act), and others, wherein laws are

    taken from the Christians (such as the Dutch with their Wetboek van

    Strafrecht Penal Code), and also from Islmsuch as marriage issues.

    Moreover, in actual fact this disbelief of the government is not only

    because it does not put into effect (the Sharah of) Islm and replaces it

    with created laws only, but that it is disbelief from many other aspects

    amongst which are:

    A.They Have Become ghtWhy is that so? This is because they, by means of their legislative

    councils and some of their executive boards have claimed to be law makers,

    have claimed the right to make laws and legislation, and even what they

    have already made and decided upon, then they themselves are ght. They

    have become the law makers whose laws have to be followed (read:

    worshipped) by their helpers.

    1. Allh decrees:

    Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in

    that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent

    down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    21/115

    20

    disputes) to the ght (false judges, etc.) while they have been

    ordered to reject them. But Shain (Satan) wishes to lead them

    far astray.16

    Many within the community or the helpers of ghtor whomsoeveramongst them, when they have a case in this nation, do they submit that case

    to the laws of Allh or towards laws other than the laws of Allh? Surely

    they will submit it to laws other than the laws of Allh, to laws that were

    created previously by the ght in their Parliament building, whether it be

    from the legislature or the executive or even from the decision makers of the

    judicial council.

    They are ght, as stated by Shaikh Muammad ibnu Abdul

    Wab, may Allh have mercy upon him, within Rislah f Man

    ght, that the second most prominent form of ght is A tyrannical

    government that changes the laws of Allh. Whilst in this nation, all of

    the laws of Allh have been changedstarting with the criminal, civil,

    economic, and otherlaws. All have been tossed aside and they have agreed

    not to use the revealed laws of Allh, even whilst a person cannot be a

    Muslim unless he disbelieves in ght. How then can they claim to beMuslim and be free of ght whilst in regards to these matters they

    themselves are the ght??!

    2. Allh decrees:

    16SrahAn Nis (4), ayh60.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    22/115

    21

    They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to

    be their lords besides Allh (by obeying them in things which they

    made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without

    being ordered by Allh), and (they also took as their Lord)

    Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians)

    were commanded [in the Taurt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel))to worship none but one Ilh (God - Allh) L ilha illa Huwa

    (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and Glory be

    toHim, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate

    (with Him).16F

    17

    Within this ayah Allh pronounces that the Christians have five

    convictions:

    1. They deify their religious scholars and monks.2. They worship others besides Allh, namely their religious scholars

    and monks.

    3. They contravene L ilha illallh (none has the right to beworshipped but Allh).

    4. They have become polytheists.5. Their religious scholars (clergy) and monks have positioned

    themselves as lords (besides Allh).

    17SrahAt Taubah (9), ayh 31.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    23/115

    22

    Imm At Tirmidh, may Allh have mercy upon him, relates that at

    the time this ayhwas recited by the Messenger of Allh in front of Ad

    bin tim (a companion who was once Christian and who later embraced

    Islm); Ad bin tim heard this ayhwith its pronouncements and said:

    They (the Christians) do not worship their religious scholars (clergy) and

    monks. So it means that what is in the minds of the Christians is: why does

    Allh pronounce that we (the Christians) have deified them, or in what way

    have we associated partners with or made gods alongside Him to the point

    whereby it is stated that we worship them even though we have never

    performed alt or prostrated ourselves before them or beseeched them? The

    Messenger stated: Have they (the clergy, monks, rabbis) not made all

    that which Allh has declared to be arm and you all followed (accepted)

    their decision to make that something all; and have they not made

    arm that which Allh has declared to be all and you all followed

    (accepted) their decision to make that something arm? Then Ad

    answered: Yes, and the Messenger said: That is the form of their

    (Christians) worship towards them (clergy and monks).

    When they lean upon the right to laws and the creation of laws

    (tashr) from others besides Allh, then those who acknowledge the right tomake laws are known as arbb, that is those who have posited themselves as

    lords of regulations besides Allh. When those laws are rolled out and

    followed, then it is the arbb who are worshipped. A person or people who

    agree to these laws or who refer to them or who reconcile issues upon the

    laws that they have rolled out are people whom Allh has decreed to be

    Mushrikn who worship or submit or deify them as well as already having

    denied l ilha illallh.

    3. Allh decrees:

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    24/115

    23

    Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allhs Name has

    not been pronounced, for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of

    Allh). And certainly, the Shayn (devils) do inspire their friends

    (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey them, then

    you would indeed be Mushrikn (polytheists).17F

    18

    Within this ayh Allah explains about the prohibition upon carrion,

    and Allh also explains about the deceitfulness of Shain. We know thatcarrion is arm, yet within the teachings of the Quraish Mushrikn they

    declared it to be the slaughter ofAllh.

    Within a adth with a a sanad, narrated by Imm Al kim, may

    Allh have mercy upon him, from Ibnu Abbs: Some mushrikncame to

    the Messenger of Allhand asked: O Muammad, who killed a dead

    goat? The Messenger of Allh said: Allh killed it (made it die).

    Then the mushrikn said: A goat which you slaughter with your hand,all of you call all, whereas a goat that has been slaughtered by Allh

    with His Most Noble Hand with a knife of gold you call arm, meaning

    that your slaughter is better than the slaughter of Allh.

    This is the statement of the Mushrikn towards the Muslimn, and

    Allh states that it is the whisperings of Shain towards them (And

    certainly, the Shayn (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to

    dispute with you,..) in order to dispute with the Muslimn into being in

    agreement with making carrion all, and after that Allh reminds the

    Muslims that if they agree with and obey them, giving authority for laws to

    18SrahAl Anm (6), ayh 121.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    25/115

    24

    some other besides Allh, albeit in only one law or single case alone (that is

    to make carrion all) Allh has decreed: then you would indeed be

    Mushrikn (polytheists).

    Within this above ayhAllh states that:

    1. Laws that are not from Him (Allh) are inspirations of Shain.2. Those who change them (who proclaim themselves to have the right

    to create laws) from amongst mankind are known as the allies of

    Shain.

    3. Those who are in agreement with them or who obey or reconciletowards them are known as Mushrikn.

    When one law alone is inverted based on the right to do so to another

    besides Allh, then on the basis of the previous ayh, the person or persons

    who make that (new) law are known as the allies ofShain (ght) who

    have received inspiration or revelation from Shain. Moreover, those who

    obey that person or persons or are in agreement with that created law are

    denounced by Allh as Mushrikn.

    Although those that are in the NKRI (Negara Kesatuan Republik

    Indonesia The One Nation of the Republic of Indonesia) - and in other

    nations do not number one, two, three, ten, or even a hundred laws,

    nevertheless all of the laws that are here are not from Allh, but from the

    allies of Shainwho received their revelation from the Shainof the jinn,

    whether it be the previous allies ofShain from Holland (who bequeathed

    the KUHP - Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana - Book of the Criminal

    Justice Act from the Wetboek van Strafrecht Penal Code) or the allies ofShainwho now sit in parliamentary chairs, and who make, design, process,

    or whatever its name and whoever it is that makes laws, then they are

    essentially the allies ofShainand the laws they roll out are essentially the

    laws of Shain.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    26/115

    25

    Take note if only the people who simply obey them are sufficient

    for Allh to denounce them as Mushrikn, then what is to be said about

    those who make them or the person or persons who make decisions based

    upon them or those people who compel the community to submit to them bymeans of iron and fire (force and weapons)?!!

    4. Allh decrees:

    Or have they partners with Allh (false gods), who have instituted

    for them a Deen (religion) which Allh has not allowed. And had

    it not been for a decisive word (gone forth already), the matter

    would have been judged between them. And verily, for the

    limn (polytheists and wrong-doers), there is a painful

    torment.18F

    19

    Within this ayh, whomsoever makes legislation or laws or

    regulations or teachings that are not allowed by Allh are called shurak

    (partners), because they have posited themselves to be worshipped by means

    of determining the laws to be followed. They have deprived the right to

    create laws from Allh, they have designed, processed, and presented them

    right in the middle of the community. And those people who obey or follow

    those laws are known as people who worship those shurak (partners).

    19Srah Ash Shra (42), ayh 21.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    27/115

    26

    B.They Arbitrate by Means of Laws Other Than Those ofAllhor Make Decisions by Means of ghtLaws

    They adjudicate with ght laws, because laws other than those ofAllhare merely jhilyah laws or ghtlaws, based on the decree of Allh

    in SrahAl Midah, ayah 44:

    And whosoever does not judge by what Allh has revealed, such

    are the Kfirn.19F

    20

    And His decree in SrahAl Midah, ayh50:

    Do they then seek the judgement of (the days of) Jhilyah

    (ignorance)? And who is better in judgement than Allh for a

    people who have firm faith.20F

    21

    Within the above yt, a person or persons who decide upon a matter

    by means of other than that which has been revealed by Allhare Kfirn,

    and it is the case that the government of this nation does not decide upon

    matters by means of that which Allhhas revealed, but rather by means of

    ghtlaws. Thus they have been pronounced Kfirn based upon the above

    two yt, and moreover, Allh has pronounced people such as these to be

    limnand Fsiqn within SrahAl Midah, yt 45 and 47.

    20SrahAl midah (5), ayh 44.

    21SrahAl Midah (5), ayh50.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    28/115

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    29/115

    28

    Whenever they are faced with problems, whatever they may be, this

    government does not refer to the laws of Allh, but towards the ght local

    laws (such as basic regulations or laws or other), or regional laws, or laws

    that have been established by means ofinternational tribunals orchestrated

    by the UN.

    Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in

    that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent

    down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their

    disputes) to the ght (false judges, etc.) while they have been

    ordered to reject them. But Shain (Satan) wishes to lead them

    far astray.23F

    24

    Really, they do not refer to Al Qurnand As Sunnah, but however

    they refer to some other source. This despite within SrahAn nis, ayh60,

    Allhhaving articulated the claims of people who acknowledge belief in Al

    Qurn and the books of Allh before it; the people who at the time they

    have problems just wanted to seek out judgments, regarding their problems

    (denounce their concerns), from the ght. Now notice here, that within that

    ayh they wish judgment from the ght whilst Allh has already belied

    their faith, faith that is held to be merely claims and lies, so what about those

    people who truly swear oaths that reconcile them to ghtlaws?!

    24SrahAn Nis (4), ayh60.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    30/115

    29

    This government, at the time they joined the UN were obligated to

    vow to be in agreement with any and all regulations that they were bound to,

    and likewise also when the ranks of the government legislature, executive,

    judicature were formed, it was obligatory upon each and every person to

    swear to a vow to carry out the laws of the nation, and that is their shahdah!That is their baiat. Is there a baiat in this nation to be obedient and loyal

    towards Al Qurnand As Sunnah? Most definitely the answer is no! Thus

    after that baiat to the basic laws has been undertaken, they will always

    reconcile themselves to it. If, for example, a President were to deviate from

    it, then the DPR/MPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat - House of

    Representatives; and the Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat - People's

    ConsultativeAssembly) would protest and state: The President has

    contravened the basic laws or the laws, and not state: The President has

    contravened the yt of Al Qurn so Supposing the entire contents of Al

    Qurn were contravened, then they will not be disputed, as long as their

    pure law books were not contravened, namely the 1945 Constitution and

    the laws derived from it.

    Al Imm Ibnu Kathr, may Allh have mercy upon him, said:

    Whoever abandons (desists from) a law (or laws) that is mukam (precise

    judgement) revealed to Muammad Ibnu Abdillh , the seal of the

    Prophets, and he then arbitrates by means of other already removed

    sources of jurisprudence, then he is a disbeliever, then what on earth is to

    be said of a person who makes judgements on the basis of Al Yasa and gives

    it precedence over the Sharah, then whoever does this has become a

    disbeliever according to the consensus of the Muslims. (Al Bidyah wan

    Nihyah, 13/119)

    Al Yasa was a book of laws created by Genghis Khan the ruler of the

    Tartars. This book consisted of a collection, some of which was taken from

    the Taurt of the Jews, the Injl of the Christians, Al Qurn, and innovative

    teachings added with the result being codified into a book named Al Yasa or

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    31/115

    30

    Yasiq. The Muslim scholars unanimously state that whoever turns to uses a

    such a book of laws, then he is a disbeliever according to the consensus of

    the Muslims. So too also by means of Yasiq Ar (Modern Yasiq), that is

    basic laws, KUHP (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana - Book of the

    Criminal Justice Act), and others, wherein laws are taken from the Christians(such as the Dutch with their Wetboek van Strafrecht Penal Code), and

    also from Islmsuch as marriage issues.

    So it turns out to be the same in form, so anyone who reconciles

    themselves to this modern Yasiq, then he is a disbeliever by virtue of the

    consensus of the Muslim community, and the case is that such

    reconciliations are already being carried out by the government of the

    NKRI!!

    D.They Embrace(Submit to)the Democratic SystemDemocracy originates from the words demos (people) and kratos

    (sovereignty/power). This system transfers (delivers) legal rights or

    sovereignty to the people. The system of representation that is contained

    within it bestows the right of divinity upon the representatives of the people

    who sit in parliament in order to create, define, and decide laws.

    Democracy constitutes one form of the expropriation of privileges

    specific to Allh alone within At Tashr (the creation, establishment, and

    termination of laws or regulations). This right is exclusive to Allh, rights

    specific to His Lordship and Divinty, specific rights that must be dependent

    upon by His creation only from Allh. However, democracy has taken thataway and precisely bestowed those rights upon created beings. Allh

    decrees:

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    32/115

    31

    Indeed the command (or the Judgement) is for none but Allh.

    He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the

    (true) straight Deen (religion), but most men know not.24F

    25

    His decree: He has commanded that you worship none but

    Him, means: All are commanded not to seek laws except from Allh,

    because it is Allh, who has the right to create, establish, and terminate

    them. And within this ayh the seeking of laws from Allh is worship.Whereas it is the case that within democracy, laws are sought from the

    people by means of their representatives, and thus democracy is a system of

    shirk, because it diverts the worship of seeking laws from another/others

    besides Allh.

    Democracy is a system of shirk that establishes its pillars upon

    secularism, upon unlimitedness; free to believe whatever despite its being

    shirk or disbelief. Democracy does not obligate mankind to be obedienttowards the teachings of Allh, but they must be obedient towards the

    agreement of the people, legislative orders that are in process, wherever in

    fact, there are man-made laws.

    E.They Possess theIdeology/Philosophy/Principles/Guidelines/Life

    Instructions/Nations Breath, namely Pancasila

    25SrahYsuf (12), ayh40.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    33/115

    32

    Pancasila is a deen (dn), because a deen is a way of life, religion,

    rules and instructions for life, philosophy or whatever a person is pleased to

    call itbut what is clear is that Pancasila is a deen. This is merely a brief

    review that we present.

    Within Pancasila is stated Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa (Belief in

    God Almighty), yet we do not know who it is that is being referred to,

    because Pancasila acknowledges various religions with a variety of diverse

    gods. Thus, it is sufficient to know that this philosophy is something that is

    confusing for a reasonable person.

    F.Tawalliy (Full Loyalty) Towards the MushriknThey are loyal to the United Nations, submit towards international

    laws and other regulations that exist within the body of the UN. Whatever

    has been designated they automatically follow. Allhforbids the Muslims

    to be loyal towards the disbelievers. Allh has stated within Srah Al

    Midah, ayh 51:

    .. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliy (tawallahum),

    then surely he is one of them25F

    26

    G.They Mock the Teachings of AllhAllh prohibits all forms of abomination, whereas this nations

    government specifically gives permission (allows) the operations of places

    26SrahAl Midah (5), ayh 51.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    34/115

    33

    of abomination under the guise of entertainment -, allows the media to

    grow and spread shirk, disbelief, destruction, and depravity under the

    pretext of freedom of the press and freedom of expression etc. That is

    blatant mockery of the teachings of Allh, and mockery of the teachings of

    Allh is disbelief. Allh has decreed:

    If you ask them (about this), they declare: We were only talking

    idly and joking. Say: Was it at Allh (), and His ytand His

    Messenger () that you were mocking?

    Make no excuse; You have disbelieved after you had believed. If

    We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you

    because they were Mujrimn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners,

    criminals, etc.).26F

    27

    The point is, that clearly this nation and its government are repeatedly

    in disbelief. Each and every nation that does not rule with the laws of Allh

    and does not submit to the regulations of Allh, then such a nation/nations

    are nations of kfir (disbelief), lim (tyrannical), fsiq

    (rebellious/iniquitous), and jhilyah (ignorant) based on the decrees of

    Allh.

    Khairul Ghazali has related the tafsr (exegetic interpretations) of the

    ulam about ght, yet however he has not understood and more precisely

    has thrown them aside and instead has insisted upon the colloquial meaning

    27SrahAt Taubah (9), yt65-66.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    35/115

    34

    alone even whilst the tafsr of the ulamare singularly clear that amongst

    those who are labeled ght are those who create laws and leave aside

    (reject) the laws ofAllh (please refer to his book, pages 23-70). However,

    he considers the various tafsr as ghtwith the diversities amongst them

    as disputes amongst the ulam, even though they are not disputes, butrather the giving of examples of the diverse forms of ght, all of which are

    true and amongst them are authorities who impose created laws such as

    those of the NKRI government wherein Khairul Ghazali is desperately

    endeavoring to obscure their disbelief.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    36/115

    35

    Secondly, the refutation of his slander against me that I have

    labeled all PNS (Pegawai Negeri Sipil Civil servants) to be

    disbelievers and that all PNS are ght.

    Khairul Ghazali is lying and fabricating the accusation that I have

    pronounced all of the PNS to be disbelievers and that I am of the opinion

    that all of them are ght. This he has stated in various places within his

    book including:

    1. On page 21, within a footnote: Abu Sulaiman Aman Abdurrahman, aperpetrator ofterrorism sentenced to 9 years, within his article entitled

    Hukum Menjadi PNS (Civil Service as Law), states that the basis ofthe government and the PNS as ght is the Oath of the Civil

    Servants of the Republic of Indonesia

    2. On pages 158-159, he states: Now, the takfr (charging withdisbelief) movement is echoing in the homeland. A number ofdawah

    movements with the brand Islmic Radicalism has openly stated

    that all PNS are apostates in other words, they have invalidated their

    Islm. And more so, that all people who work for the

    government, all civil servants, including teachers are ght

    worshipers. In order to be clear about this statement, it is better

    for us to firstly read the thinking of one of the front men of

    radicalism, Abu Sulaiman Aman Abdurrahman, within his

    article entitled Pegawai Negeri Sipil Pemerintahan Thaghut.

    (Civil Servants of the ght Government). He goes on to say:

    The PNS is deemed to be ght by Abu Sulaiman Aman

    Abdurrahman.

    So I say: Glory be to You O Allh, truly these are the lies and

    falsehoods of Khairul Ghazali towards me, because firstly, I have never

    accused the entire PNS of disbelief in the manner alleged by Khairul

    Ghazali, and I have never called the PNS ght and that is only the

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    37/115

    36

    imaginations of Khairul Ghazali alone in order that the community becomes

    antipathetic towards the dawah of taud. Also, I have never presented an

    article entitled Hukum Menjadi PNS nor an article entitled Pegawai

    Negeri Sipil Pemerintahan Thaghut,as stated above, but I have however

    written an article entitled Status Bekerja Di Dinas Pemerintah Thaghut

    (the Status of Working in a ghtGovernment Department) and an article

    entitled Rincian Bekerja Di Dinas Pemerintahan Thaghut (the Specifics

    of Working in a ghtGovernment Department). Now, if it is the case that

    some people have portrayed those articles with other titles that differ to the

    titles written by myself then that matter is outside of my knowledge and

    responsibility. And within my two stated articles there are no accusations of

    disbelieftowards all of the PNS or a statement that all of the PNS are ght.

    Moreover, Khairul Ghazali himself has publically displayed my articles

    detailing the status of employment in these ghtgovernment departments,

    in which there are work characteristics that are kfir in nature, and also work

    processes that are arm in nature, and those that are permissible. But why

    does he come to a conclusion by means of a summary, that is far removed

    from what has already been described in a manner in which even a layman

    can understand the details ofthe description in my articles? So, on his part, it

    was either because of an order from the BNPT (Badan NasionalPenanggulangan Terorisme - National Council for Combating Terrorism) or

    because of an act of imbecility wherein he cannot understand what even a

    layman is capable of understanding. In order that it is clearer and able to be

    understood by a reasonable person, I will present both of my mentioned

    articles and add an article by Shaikh Ab Muammad im Al Maqdis

    that I have translated, concerning Details of the Status of Work in Saudi

    ghtGovernment Departments.

    First Section:

    The status of work in a ght civil service.

    Ikhwn fllh (My brothers in Allh)this material concerns the

    status of people or departments that exist within this ghtgovernment. Are

    the activities of working within these ghtdepartmentsacts of disbelief, or

    is there another explanation?

    Within this issue, there are jobs whose attributes constitute disbelief,

    and there are jobs with the attributes of major sins, and also there are jobswhose attributes do not belong in either of those two categories. We will

    elaborate and cite examples of them.

    I. Work With Attributes of DisbeliefAmongst the jobs or services that constitute disbelief are services that

    contain one of the following faults:

    1. Servicesthat encompass the making of laws.A person who makes laws or is part of an institution that makes laws,

    then his work and the people who are incorporated within it are kfirn -

    disbelievers. Such as, those people who are in legislative institutions from

    amongst members of parliament, because amongst the duties of parliament is

    the making of laws, and so this work constitutes disbelief and its people are

    kfirn. As for proof of this, there is the decree ofAllh:

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    39/115

    38

    Have you seen those who claim that they believe in that which has

    been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you,

    and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the ght

    (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject

    them27F

    28

    Within this ayhAllhstates that people who make and reconcile

    to laws from other than Allh are ght, and that people who refer to lawsother than those ofAllh are declared within this ayh that their faith is false

    and only a claim, andthat what they refer to, that is making laws that Allh

    says are ght, - then as we have seen they are more in disbelief than a

    regular disbeliever.

    And the decree ofAllh within another Srah:

    They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to

    be their lords besides Allh, and (they also took as their Lord)Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they were commanded to

    worship none but one Ilh (God - Allh) L ilha illa Huwa (none

    28SrahAn Nis (4), ayh60.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    40/115

    39

    has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and Glory be to

    Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate

    (with Him).29

    Within this ayah Allh pronounces that the Christians have fiveconvictions:

    1. They deify their religious scholars and monks.2. They worship others besides Allh, namely their religious scholars

    and monks.

    3. They contravene L ilha illallh (none has the right to beworshipped but Allh).

    4. They have become polytheists.5. Their religious scholars (clergy) and monks have positioned

    themselves as lords (besides Allh).

    Imm At Tirmidh, may Allh have mercy upon him, relates that at

    the time this ayhwas recited by the Messenger of Allh in front of Ad

    bin tim (a companion who was once Christian and who later embraced

    Islm); Ad bin tim heard this ayhwith its pronouncements and said:

    They (the Christians) do not worship their religious scholars (clergy) and

    monks. So it means that what is in the minds of the Christians is: why does

    Allh pronounce that we (the Christians) have deified them, or in what way

    have we associated partners with or made gods alongside Him to the point

    whereby it is stated that we worship them even though we have never

    performed alt or prostrated ourselves before them or beseeched them? The

    Messenger stated: Have they (the clergy, monks, rabbis) not made all

    that which Allh has declared to be arm and you all followed (accepted)their decision to make that something all; and have they not made

    arm that which Allh has declared to be all and you all followed

    (accepted) their decision to make that something arm? Then Ad

    29SrahAt taubah (9), ayh 31.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    41/115

    40

    answered: Yes, and the Messenger said: That is the form of their

    (Christians) worship towards them (clergy and monks).

    Thus, the observance of worship here is when the scholars (clergy and

    monks and rabbis and scholars) create laws besides the laws of Allh, and

    then those laws are followed (observed) and obeyed by their followers

    (devotees), and it is in this way that such clergy, monks, rabbis, and scholars

    have been labeled by Allh as Arbb - lords - or as people who have

    positioned themselves as gods besides Allh, whereas a person aswho

    positions himself as a law maker or as a god besides Allh, then he is a

    disbeliever.

    And a further proof is the decree ofAllh:

    Or have they partners with Allh (false gods), who have instituted

    for them a Deen (religion) which Allh has not allowed?...29F

    30

    Within this ayhAllhhas labeled those who have created a law orlaws besides the laws of Allh shurak (partners), and who have been

    elevated by their supporters as a partner or partners with Allh, whereas a

    person or people who position themselves as a partner or partners with Allh

    is/are disbeliever/s.

    This is the first service/job that constitutes disbelief; namely, people

    whose work is the creation of laws or that promotes or processes laws, like

    the members of the house of representatives and those similar to them or

    whomever(they are called in such jobs).

    30Srah Ash Shra (42), ayh 21.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    42/115

    41

    2. Services/jobs whose duties are to make decisions by means otherthan the laws of Allh

    A person or persons whose job is to convict and prosecute with

    means other than the laws of Allh, such as prosecutors and judges. They

    prosecute and make decisions in trials, and the prosecutor and the judge

    make the decisions, even whilst both of them make decisions with means

    other than the laws ofAllh.

    This kind of job, making decisions by means other than the laws of

    Allh, constitutes a service/job that is disbelief and the person or persons

    who carry it out have been expressly and clearly stamped as Kfirn,

    limn, Fsiqn within one Srah:

    And whosoever does not judge by what Allh has revealed, such

    are the Kfirn.30F

    31

    And whosoever does not judge by that which Allh has revealed,

    such are thelimn.31F

    32

    And whosoever does not judge by what Allh has revealed (then)such (people) are the Fsiqn.

    32F

    33

    31SrahAl Midah (5), ayh 44.

    32SrahAl Midah (5), ayah 45.

    33SrahAl Midah (5), ayah 47.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    43/115

    42

    We know that the judges and prosecutors at the time of decision

    making or at the time oftheir prosecutions make decisions and prosecutions

    by means of that which is not the laws of Allh, namely with jhilyah laws

    (ghtlaws), then theirjobs are the jobs of the disbelievers.

    3. A service/job that isnurah(support/assists) for the ghtsystem

    This is as already described in material about the Anru- ght,

    such as the military, the police, or intelligence agencies. Thus, the essenceof

    this kind of work is disbelief because they provide nurah for the ght and

    for their own systems. So, this means services/jobs that are posited in

    disbelief and their people are disbelievers, as in the manner stated within His

    decree:

    Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allh, and those who

    disbelieve, fight in the Cause ofght(Satan, etc.). So fight you

    against the friends of Shain(Satan);33F

    34

    Allh has denounced them as disbelievers because theyfight in the

    Cause of ght. And within another Srah, Allh states:

    34SrahAn Nis (4), ayh76.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    44/115

    43

    Have you not observed the hypocrites who say to their friends

    among the people of the Scripture who disbelieve: (By Allh) if

    you are expelled, we (too) indeed will go out with you, and we

    shall never obey any one against you, and if you are attacked (in

    fight), we shall indeed help you. But Allh is witness, that they

    verily, are liars.34F

    35

    Within this ayh, Allh defines the ukhuwyah kufryah (the

    brotherhood of disbelief) between the munfiqn (hypocrites) and the Jews,

    even though we know that the munfiqn are judged by the world as

    Muslims (appear to be, superficially), yet however, when disbelief is

    revealed as a result of being seen to be helping the Jews, then they are

    denounced as disbelievers. The munfiqn in this ayh are judged to be

    disbelievers because of their agreement to help the Jews in fighting againstthe Messenger of Allh, whereas their agreement in front of the Jews is a

    lie, yet Allhpronounces them to be disbelievers because of their promise to

    carry out disbelief, that is, to defend the Jews within their fight against the

    Messenger of Allh. Likewise also, a person or persons who agree to

    undertake disbelief yet their undertaking is a lie, then assuredly they are

    disbelievers.

    This is proof that to help the disbelievers in disbelief constitutes

    disbelief and the person or persons are disbelievers. Because of that, a

    service or a job that in essence defends or protects the ght system

    35SrahAl ashr (59), ayh 11.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    45/115

    44

    constitutes disbelief and such a service or job makes the doer of the work a

    disbeliever.

    4. Every service/job that holds alliances with ght laws

    A person or persons whose jobs are in essence tawalliy (full loyalty)

    towards a ght system, that is, immediately undertakes and carries out

    ght laws, such as a ghtagency that works in the justice department,

    where their jobs are immediately tawalliy with ghtlaws. Services such as

    these are services of disbelief.

    And a service/job like that is a prosecutor. Or a person who works in

    the secretariat building of the DPR/MPR, wherein he is in control of

    programs or various agendas or ght assembly sessions. He is

    completely allied (fully loyal) towards this system because the activities of

    the DPR/MPR members cannot be accomplished without arrangements from

    them. Allh decrees:

    Verily, those who have turned back (have apostated) as

    disbelievers after the guidance has been manifested to them,

    Shain (Satan) has beautified for them (their false hopes), and(Allh) prolonged their term (age).

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    46/115

    45

    This is because they said to those who hate what Allh has sent

    down: We will obey you in part of the matter, but Allh knows

    their secrets.36

    A person or persons who pronounces before those who are

    disbelievers and/or ght, we will obey you all in some matters ofdisbelief, have been denounced by Allh as kfirn. And those peopleearlier mentioned as tawalliy, it turns out that they completely follow thisdisbelief, following completely in the implementation of kfir laws (ghtlaws).

    5. A person who swears an oath to be loyal towards the ght

    (system/laws/legislation)

    Every person who swears an oath of loyalty towards legislation or

    laws, regardless of his service or job, even though he works in the

    education department for example, or the department of agriculture, or the

    forestry service, yet he has sworn an oath to be loyal to the legislation,

    regulations, or laws of the ght, then whatever his form of work if he

    carried out such an oath he is a kfir by virtue of that oath, not because of

    his work.

    This differs from the previous kind of work, wherein the reason for

    disbelief was the essence of the work itself, such as members of the

    DPR/MPR, whether or not an oath was sworn they are still kfirn, and

    likewise also judges, prosecutors, military or police personnel, whether they

    swore oaths or not, they remain kfirn.

    Whereas here, the person or persons have become disbelievers not as

    a result of their work per say, but rather because of their swearing ofoaths,whatever form their work entails as long as it involves oaths towards ght

    laws, then they are kfirn. IfAllhHimself denounces as apostates a person

    36SrahMuammad (47), yt 25-26.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    47/115

    46

    or persons who state that they will be obedient and loyal, and follow only

    aspects of disbelief, then what is to be said for people who state within their

    oaths that we will be completely loyal and obedient to the Constitution or

    Pancasila or to the Kfir State of the Republic of Indonesia?! This is far

    more an act of disbelief that the person or persons whom Allh has

    denounced as apostates within the yt ofSrahMuammad earlier. If only

    following some of them (laws, legislation, etc.) has been denounced by

    Allhas acts of apostasy, then what of people who have stated that they will

    be loyal and follow them completely?!

    These are amongst the jobs or services that Allh has denounced to be

    disbelief for those who engage in them, and these services or jobs constitute

    disbelieving roles in the service of the ght.

    II. Services or Jobs that are arm

    If there is a job that is not included amongst those five abovementioned kinds; not making laws, not deciding on that besides the laws ofAllh, no protection or no alliances, no agreements to be loyal to ght

    laws, then services or jobs not included amongst those five kinds must beseen (in the light of) as to whether they are limnservices and jobs thatare armor not (mubah neither forbidden nor commended - services/jobs).

    When such a service/job is a armservive/job and it is not one of the

    aforementioned five kinds, such as taxation or customs or immigration,

    which constitute lim (transgressive) services/jobs, or in banks that make

    use of usury, then they are armservices/jobs.

    People who work as PNS (civil servants) in customs, their work is in

    essence armbecause of its transgresses, and if it involves swearing oaths

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    48/115

    47

    then it is disbelief from its aspect ofits oath-taking, so that kind of work is

    arm in regards to its work aspect only.

    III. Services or Jobs that are Mubah

    Supposing the service or job was neither from amongst the five kinds

    mentioned earlier nor from a service or job that was arm, then it is

    (classified as) mubah (may undertake it) such as health services, agriculture,

    marine, or services that are not disbelieving or arm.

    The ulam have stated that such services/jobs possessed by the

    ght are at the least makrh (abhorrent, reprehensible), and are notclassified as mubah because leastwise they are close to ght. By law they

    are makrh but with the proviso that theydisplay their conviction. Evidence

    regarding this matter is a adth narrated by Al Bukhr within his a in

    the Book of Ijrah (hire contract) in the chapter concerning: May someone

    hire themselves for work to a hypocrite in a non-Muslim land. From

    Khabbb who said: I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al

    ibn Wail. When he owed me some money for my work, I went to him to ask

    for that amount. He said, I will not pay you unless you disbelieve inMuammad. I said, By Allh! I will never do that till you die and be

    resurrected. He said, Will I be dead and thenresurrected after my death?

    I said, Yes. He said, There I will have property and offspring and then I

    will pay you your due.

    Here Khabbb () reveals his conviction. So, within services/jobs

    like those associated with health and others that are mubah in quality alone,

    by means of requisites that reveal their conviction in the midst of them,because if unrevealed, then he would have sinned because he would have

    left aside obligatory issues, namely Ihr-ud Dn only because of seeking

    work of a worldly nature. However, if supposing these mubah services

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    49/115

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    50/115

    49

    If a person had worked in those arm services or jobs that were

    mubah as mentioned earlier, and he had once sworn an oath and we had

    given him advice, and then he stated that he had disengaged himself

    from that oath, and he had asked for forgiveness from his oath of

    disbelief, and he had declared the two clauses ofshahdat, then he can be

    judged as a Muslim, even though he was not out from that service or job,

    because the disbelief is from the oath and not because of his service or job.

    So, there is a distinction between disbelief as a result of the

    characteristics of the service or job and disbelief as a result of an oath of

    faithfulness and loyalty to the ght.

    In the reality of society there are many civil servants, but we do not

    know on an individual basis whether so and so has taken an oath or not, so

    we cannot declare them to be disbelievers even though the reality may be

    that he is a disbeliever; because the one who knows whether or not he

    swore an oath is Allhalone, and we do not know. If we see that the essence

    of his work is not disbelief, then we cannot pronounce him to be a

    disbeliever, because we judge externally whereas the internal matters are theaffairs ofAllh.

    Then, as for those who have worked in the service of disbelief yet

    however he has been pensioned or already finished from his work,

    whether that cessation was because of being fired or because of resignation

    or because of the completion ofhis position, then for people of this kind;

    so long as theystood forth as Muslims, then there did not arise from their

    characteristics or speech any matters that indicated that they still wanted to

    undertake those matters or were still proud of or were permissive to them or

    recommended people to become like them, then people like that in the world

    we judge to be Muslim, while their internal affairs are the concern ofAllh

    .

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    51/115

    50

    Therefore,how to address people like that, because when we consider

    those people who work in the services of the disbelieversto be disbelievers,

    it is because of their work, and if they stop and cease their work for

    whatever factor makes them stop, then whenever there does not arise from

    their speech or actions issues that indicate that they are still desirous of or

    proud of or what they did,then they are recognized as Muslims, and they are

    judged as Muslims to all intents and purposes in this world, with their

    internal matters being reckoned by Allh. This is as in a adth from Imm

    Muslim who narrated from AbMlik Al Ashja: Whoever testifies that L

    ilha illallh and disbelieves in everything that is worshipped besides Allh,

    then their property and blood are inviolable, and their affairs rest with Allh

    , because at the least they have desisted from it.

    This is material about the status of work that exists in the services of

    this ghtgovernment. Amongst them are services/jobs with attributes that

    constitute disbelief, and services/jobs with attributes of major sins, and

    services/jobs whose characteristics are not encompassed by those two

    categories or these are attributes that are mubah.

    And finally, when the companions handled the families or wives and

    children of the anru- ght, such as the group lead by Musailamah Al

    Kadhdhb, they were treated as kfirn. Possibly there is the question as to

    why we do not now treat the wives and children of the anru- ght as

    kfirn? This is because the wives and children of the anru- ght can

    be stated to be kfirn if it is in the context of muwjahah (confrontation)

    between an Islmic group and a kfir group, and that too is on the basis of

    two conditions: Firstly, the Muslims are in possession of full power anddomination against the mentioned kfirn. Secondly, there is the possibility

    ofthem merging together with the mentioned Muslim group.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    52/115

    51

    Because at that time the power of the Muslims was most dominant,

    and supposing they (the families of the anru- ght) were to revert, then

    they could be merged with the Muslims, and when they did not want to

    undertake such at that time in the context ofmuwjahah, then they would be

    classified as apostate kfirn. In the same manner as the Messenger of Allh

    had before at the time of the conquest of Makkah, the people who were in

    the city of Makkah were all regarded as kfirn. At that time the power of

    the Muslims was greater than that of the kfirn, and those people who

    acknowledged themselves as Muslim amongst them would be joined

    together with the Muslims if they desired. And when they did not want to

    merge together with the Muslims then they were classified as kfirnby the

    Messenger of Allh.

    By contrast if those two conditions or even one of those two

    conditions are not fulfilled, like today wherein the Muslims do not possess

    power and dominance, then from that we cannot classify as kfirn the

    wives and children of the anru- ght, and this is similar to the wife of

    Firan where Allh stated about her in Srah At Tarm that the wife of

    Firan was a muminah. Why a muminah? Why not classify and convict

    her in the same manner as the wife of Musailamah for example? Because theMuslims at that time (under the leadership of the Propeht Ms ) did not

    possess dr(territory) and were not the dominate power and so she could not

    runaway or join with the group of the Prophet Ms.

    So, if these two conditions are not fulfilled, then we treat people who

    appear to be Muslim amongst the kfirnas Muslims. A Muslim wherever

    he is is a Muslim, whether it be in the Drul arb or the Drul Islm.

    Second Section:

    The details of working in a ght civil service.

    In truth, working in services possessed by the ghtgovernment are

    as detailed in the following:

    1.Each and every service or job that constitutes the making of laws,determines by means of created laws, protects the ghtor its system,

    follows or agrees with the ght system, provides terms of oaths or

    agreements of loyalty towards the ghtor its system, then all of these

    are kufr.

    A.WORK WHICH CONSTITUTES MAKING LAWSCreating laws is the specific right of the Lordship of Allh alone

    because He is the Creator and so only He alone has the right to determine

    laws for His creation. Allh decrees:

    Surely, His is the creation andCommandment

    The command (or the Judgement) is for none but Allh. He has

    commanded that you worship none but Him39F

    40

    Verily! The decision rests only with Allh

    40F

    41

    Allh does not include one single being within the specific right to

    create laws here whether it be an angel or a Prophet, because it is only Him

    alone who creates:

    and He makes none to share inHis decision andHis rule.

    41F

    42

    And within the mutawtir qirah of Ibnu Amir it reads:

    Andyour Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses, no

    choice have they (in any matter). Glorified be Allh, and Exalted

    above all that they associate as partners (with Him).

    And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal, and what they

    reveal.

    And He is Allh; L ilha illa Huwa (none has the right to be

    worshipped but He). His is all praise, in the first (i.e. in this

    world) and in the Last (i.e.in the Hereafter). And for Him is the

    decision, and to Him shall aou (all) be returned.43F

    44

    And invoke not any other Ilh (God) along with Allh, L ilha

    Everything will perish save His Face. His is the decision, and to

    Him aou (all) shall be returned.44F

    We are the members of the legislature who have the authority to

    create laws means we are gods besides Allh. People like that are more

    disbelieving than false prophets like Musailamah Al Kadhdhb and others.

    The creators of law and regulations have already been denounced bymeans of various condemnations: arbb, allies of Shain, partners in

    worship, ght and their allies in digression, as well as those people who are

    fools.

    They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to

    be their lords besides Allh (by obeying them in things which they

    made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without

    being ordered by Allh), and (they also took as their Lord)

    Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians)

    were commanded [in the Taurt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel))

    to worship none but one Ilh (God - Allh) L ilha illa Huwa

    (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and Glory be

    to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate

    (with Him).47F

    48

    The form of self-prescription as gods is carried out herein by their

    rabbis and their monks who make the laws which they carry out, as clarified

    by the Messenger of Allh who said in a asan adth concerning the

    interpretation of this ayh to Ad bin tim Have they (the clergy,

    48SrahAt Taubah (9), ayh 31.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    58/115

    57

    monks, rabbis) not made all that which Allh has declared to be arm

    and you all followed (accepted) their decision to make that something all;

    and have they not made arm that which Allh has declared to be all

    and you all followed (accepted) their decision to make that something

    arm? Then Ad answered: Yes, and the Messengersaid: That is the

    form of their (Christians) worship towards them (clergy and monks)

    And that is what is carried out by those who legislate and specific

    officials who are given the authority to create laws and regulations. So every

    person who is a member of the legislature is a POLYTHEIST KFIR who

    deifies himself beside Allh, and an APOSTATE if he is a Muslim and

    if there are teachings on behalf of his name then he is a person who lies

    against Allh.

    And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allh

    or denies the truth, when it comes to him? Is there not a dwellingin Hell for disbelievers?

    48F

    49

    They are also denounced as allies ofShain, as in the decree from

    Allh:

    49SrahAl Ankabt (29), ayh68.

    58

    Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allhs Name has

    not been pronounced. And certainly, the Shayn (devils) do

    inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if

    you obey them, then you would indeed be Mushrikn

    (polytheists).50

    This ayh amongst others deals with the difference between the

    Walyur Ramn and the Walyush Shain(the kfir Quraish), wherein the

    kfirnmade carrion alland debated with the Muslims for them to follow

    in their having made it all. Al kim, may Allh have mercy upon him,

    nartaed with a asanad from Ibnu Abbs that they said: What has

    been slaughtered in the name of Allh you all do not eat it, yet what you

    have slaughtered then you all eat it; so Allh revelaed And certainly, the

    Shayn (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with

    you Here it was only one law alone, that is to make carrion all, yet

    Allhdenounces people who obeyed the mushrikn, and those who made

    it (were denounced) as Walyush Shain, and that law as Wayush Shain

    (inspiration of Satan).

    In the meantime what is carried out by legislative members is much

    more than that; the process of making something all (to allow or rescind

    sanctions) that which is arm, and the process of making arm (decreeing

    as criminal and criminal offences or decreeing sanctions) that which is all,

    and creating provisions that countermand the Sharah of Allh, and so

    thereby they are the Walyush Shain. Shaikh ul Islm Ibnu Taiymiyah,

    may Allh have mercy upon him, said: A person who when he makes

    all something which is arm and which has already been agreed upon or

    makes arm something which is all and which has already been agreedupon or changes already agreed upon rules, then he is kfir and an

    apostate by the consensus of the jurists. (Majm al Fatw).

    (Rislah Al kimyah F Tafsr Aail Bayn), and he also said:

    Partnership in law is the same as partnership in worship.

    Shaikh amd ibn Atq, may Allh have mercy upon him, said:The

    ulam are already of the consensus that whomsoever changes somethingfrom the two forms ofdu to some other besides Allh and the one who

    does so is a mushrik even when he pronounces L ilha ill Allh, he

    performs alt and aum as well as acknowledges himself to be Muslim.

    (Ibtal-t Tandd: 76). The two du here are the duof ibdah and the

    du of musalah (appeal), whereas reliance upon obedience is within

    duibdah. That is in reference to a person who is reliant, so what of the

    issue of a person who approves of reliance upon ibdahand invites people

    towards that such as the members of the legislature?! Indeed they are even

    more disbelieving than Musailamah and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as well as

    the acknowledgers of other Prophets (false Prophets). They are also ght

    as in the decree ofAllh:

    Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in

    that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent

    down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their

    disputes) to the ght (false judges, etc.) while they have been

    ordered to reject them. But Shain (Satan) wishes to lead them

    far astray.52F

    53SrahAn Nis (4), ayh60.

    62/115

    61

    ght within this ayh includes amongst others those who create

    laws. Shaikh Muammad At Tamm, may Allh have mercy upon him, said

    that as for figure of the second of the ght(they are): Authorities that are

    unjust and change the laws of Allh (Rislah F Man ght within

    Majmah At Taud). So all members of the legislature are ght in

    ibdah, in the same manner as the statues on display at the temple of

    Borobudur, whereby those statues are worshipped with du, offerings, and

    other rituals, and thus idolatry is accommodated in parliament and council

    buildings and worshipped by means of obedience to their created output

    Are many different lords (gods) better or Allh, the One, the

    Irresistible?53F

    54

    Which one is better, the laws revealed by Allh that understand

    everything or the laws created by the kfirnand apostates who hold various

    forms of interest and are always befriend by Shain?

    They also have been denounced as leaders of deviation in the mannerof His decree:

    Follow what has been sent down unto you from your, and follow

    not any Auliy besides Him (Allh)54F

    55

    What has been laid down by the members of legislature is clearly not

    what Allh has revealed, to the point whereby they are the leaders of

    54SrahYsuf (12), ayh 39.

    55SrahAl Arf (7), ayh 3.

  • 8/2/2019 Yes...Indeed They Are Taghut!

    63/115

    62

    deviation and disbelief who invite mankind to their laws (their Dn), all of

    which are unjust even though they declare them to be just, because shirk is

    the greatest trespass, as in His decree:

    Verily! Joining others in worship with Allh is a great lm

    (wrong) indeed.55F

    56

    They are also denounced as ignorant people, as in His decree:

    Then We have put you on a plain way of (Our) Commandment. So

    follow you that, and follow not the desires of those who know

    not.56F

    57

    So the members of the legislature are people who do not know a.k.a.

    ignorant people, because all of the kfirn are in essence people who are

    ignorant, as in His decrees:

    Say: Do you order me to worship other than Allh O you

    fools?57F

    58

    56SrahLuqmn (31), ayh 13.

    57SrahAl Jthiyah (45), ayh18.

    This is because:

    They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes

    wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear

    not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those!

    They are the heedless ones.58F

    59

    Those are the denouncements (verdicts) of Allhfor the members

    of the legislature (MPR, DPR, DPRD
