JHEAINS Bertindak Lebih Ekstrem Daripada Jabatan Agama Lainnya Dengan Menahan Anggota, Isteri dan Ahli Keluarga Anggota Hizbut Tahrir!
Pihak penguatkuasa Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan (JHEAINS) telah menahan isteri dan ahli keluarga seorang syabab (pemuda) Hizbut Tahrir / Malaysia (HTM) di Seremban, kira-kira jam 11.00 malam pada hari Selasa lalu. Sebelum ditahan, rumah mereka telah terlebih dahulu digeledah oleh sepasukan penguatkuasa JHEAINS yang melakukan operasi bersama Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), dan sejumlah buku telah dirampas. Semasa kejadian, syabab HTM tersebut tiada di rumah dan beliau dihubungi melalui telefon oleh isterinya yang menjelaskan apa yang berlaku. Melalui telefon yang sama, beliau telah diminta oleh pegawai JHEAINS tersebut supaya segera pulang. Selain isteri beliau, 45, dan anak perempuan beliau, 22, turut ditahan ialah dua orang pekerja beliau yang mana salah seorang daripadanya ialah anak saudara beliau. Kesemua yang ditahan kemudiannya dibawa ke Pusat Dakwah Islamiah, Paroi untuk disoal siasat.
Syabab HTM terbabit, Sdr. Jamaluddin Maidin Syed, 45, kemudian dihubungi melalui telefon dan diminta hadir segera ke Pusat Dakwah Islamiah tersebut. Beliau kemudian hadir ke pusat berkenaan sekitar jam 2.30 pagi dan terus ditahan serta-merta oleh JHEAINS. Kesemua mereka telah didakwa melakukan kesalahan di bawah Seksyen 50 Enakmen Jenayah Syariah Negeri Sembilan 1992 iaitu kesalahan “mencela, menghina dsb agama Islam”, yang membawa hukuman denda tidak melebihi lima ribu ringgit atau penjara tidak melebihi tiga tahun atau kedua-duanya jika sabit kesalahan. Kesemua mereka telah disoal siasat di sepanjang malam dan pagi tersebut serta tidak dibenarkan tidur. Lebih buruk, permintaan isteri dan anak beliau untuk solat Isyak tidak dibenarkan, hinggalah ke jam 5.30 pagi. Lebih kurang jam 4.00 pagi, kedua-dua pekerja beliau dibebaskan, manakala soal siasat ke atas beliau, isteri dan anaknya terus disambung hingga ke petang 27 Oktober. Ketiga-tiga mereka kemudian dibebaskan sekitar jam 5.30 petang tersebut dengan ikat jamin sebanyak RM2,500 seorang oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah Seremban.
Wahai JHEAINS! Sesungguhnya kalian telah melanggar hukum syarak secara nyata dengan memecah masuk kediaman dan merampas harta benda orang lain tanpa izin. Kalian cuba mencemar maruah dan menakut-nakutkan penghuninya serta bertindak atas dasar fitnah yang keji. Tahukah kalian bahawa kafir Quraisy semasa mengepung rumah Rasulullah (saw), tidak menceroboh masuk ke rumah baginda kerana masih menjaga kemuliaan rumah dan penghuninya? Mereka masih memiliki harga diri dan rasa malu. Mereka menunggu di luar rumah sehingga ke waktu pagi kerana harga diri mereka melarang mereka memecah masuk rumah orang lain secara paksa. Namun, kalian sudah tidak punya harga diri dan rasa malu, menceroboh rumah orang lain, merampas harta benda dan menakut-nakuti isteri dan anak-anak penghuninya!
Kami, Hizbut Tahrir / Malaysia dengan ini membantah sekeras-kerasnya penangkapan anggota kami dan keluarga beliau serta penggeledahan dan rampasan yang dilakukan oleh JHEAINS. Sesungguhnya tangkapan dan penggeledahan ini jelas merupakan sebuah kezaliman dan melanggar bukan sahaja hukum syarak, bahkan melanggar undang-undang yang mereka cipta sendiri. Dakwaan bahawa anggota kami menghina Islam di bawah Seksyen 50 sungguh tidak masuk akal yang mana gunung ganang pun boleh pecah berkecai mendengar pendustaan seumpama ini.
Tidak cukup dengan penangkapan tersebut, Mufti Negeri Sembilan dalam komennya kepada akhbar Harian Metro mengenai tangkapan ini, menyatakan bahawa fahaman Hizbut Tahrir ialah ekstrem dan bertentangan dengan Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamaah, membawa perpecahan serta menjejaskan keselamatan negara. Sesungguhnya kami tidak terkejut sedikit pun dengan kenyataan ini kerana ia merupakan naratif dan tuduhan yang sama yang telah dibawa oleh pihak berkuasa agama di negeri lainnya, yang telah pun dijawab oleh kami dan tidak satu pun daripada mereka yang mampu membalas jawapan tersebut, dan dengan izin Allah (swt), mereka tidak akan mampu menjawabnya sampai kiamat, kerana apa yang mereka katakan hanyalah sebuah fitnah, pembohongan dan suatu yang diada-adakan ke atas Hizbut Tahrir.
Kami ingin tegaskan bahawa tindakan JHEAINS ini lebih ekstrem daripada tindakan yang telah dilakukan oleh Jabatan Agama negeri lain, kerana menangkap bukan sahaja anggota Hizbut Tahrir yang tidak melakukan apa-apa kesalahan, malah turut menangkap isteri, anak perempuan dan dua orang pekerja beliau. Tuduhan JHEAINS bahawa anggota HTM dan keluarganya telah menghina Islam juga merupakan sebuah tuduhan yang sangat ekstrem. Malah, tindakan menangkap pendakwah dan memperlakukan pendakwah sebagai penjenayah, itu sendiri merupakan suatu tindakan yang ekstrem oleh pihak berkuasa agama, apatah lagi dalam keadaan kemaksiatan yang terlalu banyak dalam negara dibiarkan begitu sahaja oleh pihak berkuasa agama.
Menyatakan fahaman Hizbut Tahrir sebagai ekstrem hanyalah sebuah naratif yang dibawa oleh Barat yang sekarang ini berada dalam ketakutan dengan dakwah Hizbut Tahrir untuk menegakkan syariah dan Khilafah, kerana seruan ini telah disahut oleh semakin ramai umat Islam di seluruh dunia. Barat tahu yang segala kejahatan dan dominasinya ke atas dunia Islam akan berakhir dan mereka akan mendapat pembalasan sewajarnya dari Sang Khalifah apabila tegaknya Khilafah sedikit masa lagi. Atas dasar itu, mereka bersungguh-sungguh menghalang dakwah Hizbut Tahrir, menggerakkan kesemua ejen mereka di dunia Islam untuk melawan Hizbut Tahrir, dengan menabur pelbagai fitnah, tohmahan dan pendustaan ke atas Hizbut Tahrir, termasuklah tuduhan ekstrem, radikal dan pengganas. Sedangkan dalam masa yang sama, Barat memuji golongan moderat, liberal, LGBT, penganut demokrasi, malah memuji penguasa-penguasa diktator di seluruh dunia Islam, kerana semua ini selari dengan nilai-nilai dan kepentingan Barat.
Kami ingin tegaskan bahawa tangkapan ke atas anggota Hizbut Tahrir dilakukan tidak lain kecuali kerana sebuah fatwa politik yang penuh dengan fitnah dan pendustaan ke atas Hizbut Tahrir. Kami ingin mengingatkan pihak berkuasa agama untuk ke sekian kalinya supaya jangan terfikir yang dengan penangkapan, fitnah, pembohongan dan segala kezaliman yang kalian lakukan ke atas anggota Hizbut Tahrir, akan menghenti atau memperlahankan dakwah Hizbut Tahrir, malah sebaliknya ia akan terus meningkatkan dakwah ini kerana sesungguhnya kami berdakwah kerana mengharapkan redha Allah (swt), bukan mengharapkan redha manusia. Kami melaksanakan tugas untuk menegakkan agama Allah (swt) di dunia dan mata kami hanya memandang kenikmatan ukhrawi, tidak sebagaimana kalian yang melaksanakan tugas untuk menghalang dakwah dan mata kalian hanya memandang kenikmatan duniawi.
Wahai pihak berkuasa agama! Oleh kerana kami masih mengharapkan kebaikan buat kalian, maka kami sudahi kenyataan akhbar ini dengan sedikit peringatan buat kalian, jika kalian masih memiliki sekelumit keikhlasan dan ketakutan kepada Allah (swt):
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ﴾
“Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mendatangkan cubaan kepada orang-orang yang beriman lelaki dan perempuan, kemudian mereka tidak bertaubat, maka bagi mereka azab (neraka) Jahannam dan bagi mereka azab (neraka) yang membakar” [Al-Buruj (85): 10].

Press Release
JHEAINS Acts in a More Extreme Manner than Other Religious Departments by Detaining a Member of Hizb ut Tahrir, His Wife and Family!
The Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) arrested the wife and family members of a Shabab (youth) of Hizb ut Tahrir / Malaysia (HTM) in Seremban, at about 11.00 pm last Tuesday. Prior to the arrest, their house was searched by a team of JHEAINS enforcement officers in a joint operation with the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) where some books were confiscated. During the incident, the said Shabab was not at home and he was contacted via phone by his wife who explained what had happened. Via the same phone, he was asked by the JHEAINS officer to return home immediately. Apart from his wife, 45, and his daughter, 22, also detained were two of his employees, one of whom is his nephew. All those detained were then taken to the Islamic Da’wah Centre, Paroi, for interrogation.
The HTM Shabab, Bro. Jamaluddin Maidin Syed, 45, was again contacted by phone and asked to come to the Islamic Da’wah Centre. Consequently, he then went to the Centre around 2.30 am and was detained by JHEAINS immediately. All of them were accused of committing an offense under Section 50 of the Negeri Sembilan Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992 – “insulting, put into contempt, etc. the Islamic religion” which is liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or both upon conviction. All of them were interrogated throughout the night and morning and were not allowed to sleep. Worst, the request by his wife and daughter to perform Isha’ prayers were denied, until 5:30 am. At about 4.00 am, both of his employees were released, while the interrogation of Jamaluddin Maidin Syed, his wife and daughter continued until the evening of 27th October. The three were later released at around 5:30pm on bail of RM2,500 each by the Seremban Shariah High Court.
O JHEAINS! You have indeed clearly violated Islamic law by breaking into a person’s house and seizing his/her property without permission. You attempted to disrepute and intimidate the occupants and your action was indeed based on despicable slander. Did you know that the Quraish disbelievers, while besieging the house of the Messenger (saw), did not break into his (saw) house because they still had respect of the house and its occupants? They still had dignity and shame. They waited outside the house until morning because their dignity forbade them to break into a person’s house by force. However, you no longer have that dignity and shame, breaking into other people’s house, seizing property and intimidating the wife and children of the occupants!
We, Hizb ut Tahrir / Malaysia hereby vehemently protest the arrest of our member and his family, and the search and confiscation by JHEAINS. Indeed, this arrest and confiscation are a clear cruelty and violation of not only Islamic law, but also the laws they have created themselves. The accusation that our members are insulting Islam under Section 50 is so absurd that even a mountain would be split asunder hearing such lies!
Not satisfied with the arrest, the Mufti of Negeri Sembilan in a comment to the Harian Metro Newspaper on the arrests, stated that Hizb ut Tahrir’s teaching is extreme and contrary to Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamaah, leading to division and affecting national security. We are indeed not surprised by this remark as it is the same narrative and accusation casted by the religious authorities in other states as well, which have already been answered by us and none of them are able to reply to that answer and by the will of Allah (swt), they will not be able to answer it until the Day of Judgment, because what they had casted are merely slanderous fabrications and lies against Hizb ut Tahrir.
We wish to stress that JHEAINS’s action is more extreme than the action taken by the Religious Department of other states. JHEAINS had arrested not only the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir who did not commit any offense, but also arrested his wife, daughter and two employees. JHEAINS’s accusation that the HTM’s member and his family have insulted Islam is also an extreme accusation. In fact, arresting a preacher and treating a preacher as a criminal, is itself an extreme act by the religious authorities, not to mention in a situation where so many perversions and sins in the country are ignored by the religious authorities.
Declaring Hizb ut Tahrir’s teaching as extreme is merely a narrative propagated by the West which is now in fear of Hizb ut Tahrir’s calls to re-establish the Shariah and Khilafah (Caliphate) State, as this call is being answered by more and more Muslims around the world. The West knows that all its evil plots and domination over the Islamic world will come to an end and they will receive due lesson from the Caliph when the Khilafah is established shortly. On that basis, they vigorously obstructed the calls of Hizb ut Tahrir, mobilizing all their agents in the Muslim world to fight Hizb ut Tahrir, by sowing various slanders, accusations and lies against Hizb ut Tahrir, including accusation of being extremist, radicals and terrorist. While at the same time, the West continue to praise moderates, liberals, LGBTs, democracy preachers, and even tyrannical rulers throughout the Muslim world; because they are all in line with Western values and interests.
We wish to stress that the arrests of members of Hizb ut Tahrir were made none other than due to the political fatwa that is full of defamation and fabrication against Hizb ut Tahrir. For the umpteenth time, we wish to remind the religious authorities lest you think that with the arrests, defamation, lies and all the cruelty you have perpetrated against the members of Hizb ut Tahrir, will stop or slow down our Da’wah, instead, our Da’wah will continue to escalate since we carry it out merely to gain the pleasure of Allah (swt), not to gain the pleasure of man. We carry out the task to establish the Deen of Allah (swt) in this world with our eyes looking only at the pleasures of Hereafter, unlike you who carry out the task of forbidding the Da’wah with your eyes are only looking at worldly pleasures!
O religious authorities! Since we are still hoping goodness for you, hence we would like to end this press release with a piece of reminder, in case you still have a piece of sincerity and fear of Allah (swt):
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ﴾
“Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning” [Al-Buruj: 10].
