:|: Land of Hijrah – ACEH Part 6: How Aceh is better than ‘Kelantan’ or ‘Terengganu’ provinces of Malaysia those who also trying to implement Shariah :|:

Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulallah!
AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatuallh Wa Barakatuhu!

There are many who keep Malaysia on their prospective Hijrah destination list. Sadly, most of these Muslims are not aware of the status of Malaysia in the Hijrah perspective. Neither they know the criteria for considering a land as the land of Hijrah.

In our research about Malaysia, we discarded it from our list of a prospective Hijrah destination because of the main reason, their constitution is based on democracy which incorporates Kuffar’s law.

But there are two states/ provinces of Malaysia namely ‘Kelantan’ and ‘Terengganu’ which are based on Shariah law. We can say, they intend to run those lands in Islamic Shariah. But the problems go back to the Malaysian federal government again. The federal govt. prevent those two states from implementing Allah’s Shariah.

Fact about Malaysia:

Since Malaysia’s law is based on ‘English Common Law’ with a mix of Shariah Law, which they call a dual system of law. Therefore, the Malaysian federal/ central govt system itself appears to be in KUFR.

And here what the report says:

“The two states of Malaysia, ‘Kelantan’ and ‘Terengganu’ are bound/ obliged under the Fed govt law: though they are intending to implement Shariah law and have enacted hudood (Islamic penal law) for Muslims, although the federal government has never allowed the implementation.”

“The party (PAS) `favours tough Islamic legal norms and once sought to implement a criminal code known as “hudud,” which prescribes penalties such as amputations for theft and death by stoning for adultery. But the federal/ national government blocked the move.”

“Recently, last February 2024, such events reoccurred when ‘Kelantan’ province enacted a more strict law against the LGBTQ+ movement:”

“In the past, there might not have been much of this issue (women acting like men). Now, however, we see that ‘Pengkid’ (tomboys or lesbians) and similar cases are becoming more widespread. So, the state government intends to curb this issue,”

“State Shariah Implementation, Education and Higher Education Committee chairman Datuk Satiful Bahari Mamat said the amendment also involved Section 33A (women acting like men), Section 36A (preparation for sodomy), and Section 29A (pregnant or giving birth to a child out of wedlock).”

But the federal/ national government blocked the move:
“On Friday, the Federal Court ruled that 16 provisions under the Kelantan Syariah Enactment were unconstitutional.”

“PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan described the Federal Court judgment as a black Friday for the Syariah court.”

This affected the other Shariah province ‘Terengganu’:
“But after the Federal court’s decision on ‘Kelantan’ issue the rebuttal:
“The ‘Terengganu’ government will examine all aspects of the state’s shariah criminal law to ensure it does not contradict federal law”, says Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.

He said this after the Federal Court on Friday struck down 16 provisions of the ‘Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code’ (I) Enactment 2019 on grounds of unconstitutionality.”

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2024/02/12/terengganu-to-review-state-shariah-criminal-law

“Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (pic) said the in-depth review would cover all aspects of the Federal Court’s decision to strike out 16 provisions under the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Enactment 2019.”

“Ahmad Samsuri said the apex court’s decision had not only affected Kelantan but also the entire nation, including Terengganu.”

“He told Sinar Harian that his government would take the necessary action against any party that intends to challenge the state’s criminal Syariah enactment, adding that the court’s decision had left a negative impact on the Syariah legal system in the country.”

So, you can understand, while these two states of Malaysia, ‘Kelantan’ and ‘Terengganu’ is trying to implement Shariah law, the Malaysia govt. prevents them by going against Shariah law, which is clear Kufr.

Whereas ACEH, being an independent province of Indonesia, enacts laws independently.
That’s what places ACEH in a better position than those two provinces of Malaysia.

And Allah knows best.
May Allah make it beneficial for us.
May Allah grant us a land where we can practice/ establish our Deen.
May Allah makes our Hijrah easy.

:|: The Land of Hijrah – 01: ACEH – Part 05: An Islamic authority which PROTECTS Muslims from SHIRK and ZINA environment. :|:

Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulallah!
AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatuallh Wa Barakatuhu!

ACEH – PROTECTION from SHIRK:

(1)

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam forbade living and settling with the Mushrikeen.
(Saheeh Muslim 4124 (20/1637).
Therefore, it must be one of the main responsibilities of an Islamic authority to safeguard Muslims from the Kufr, Shirk and Haram environment which, in our knowledge, the Aceh authority does very well, Al Hamdulillah! May Allah make them firm.

A Muslim should give this issue a priority when he chooses a land for Hijrah since the consequences of living in an environment of Shirk and Kufr are severe. If not the knowledgeable and pious ones but their generations always remain vulnerable and get affected by the Shirk and Kufr of the environment.

(2)

An example is the Indian Muslims.
in 1947, when India was separated between Pakistan and India, over 7 million Muslims moved from India to Pakistan. However, around 35 million Muslims remained in independent India.

What’s the practical outcome of this?

Think of it, a Muslim who has doubt about Malaikah or doubt about Akhirah, doesn’t remain a Muslim anymore, even though they think they are Muslims, even though they are firm in other issues of Deen.

If you are to analyze why and how this has happened to them, you only find the same reason, living with the Mushrikeen. These Muslims didn’t move to the land of Mushrikeen by choice, they happened to be born there, yet they were afflicted by the environment of Hindu gurus, Hindu neighbours, Hindu colleagues around them and most importantly by the policy of the Mushrikeen authority over them. May Allah guide them and protect them from Shirk.

Then, what about those who choose to move to the lands of Shirk and Kufr on their own will to seek Dunya? May Allah protect us. May Allah give us understanding.

(4)

And then, we are approaching a time when most of the Arab lands are importing Shirk and Zina in front of our eyes! Subhanallah! This is happening exactly as Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has predicted about the end of the time that,
“The Hour will not begin until some tribes of my ummah join the Mushrikeen and some tribes of my ummah worship idols.”
(This hadith was classed as Saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.)

Isn’t that the case happening in UAE, Saudi?
Not only in the Arab lands, but this is also the case with most of the Muslim-majority lands (I don’t call those ‘Muslim countries’ as long as those lands/ countries are ruled by the ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’). The displaying of idols in images, posters, billboards, sculptures, processions, etc. are held/ takes place in most of these Muslim-populated lands openly in the names of ‘religious harmony, tolerance and respect to all faiths’. Thus Shirk is endorsed, acknowledged, and supported by the so-called Muslim authorities. May Allah protect us.

(5)

An Islamic authority must protect its people at least from societal Shirk, Kufr and Zina. This is the minimum an Islamic authority should do to save the generations of Muslims from Jahannam.

And Al Hamdulillah, this is where ACEH comes.
ACEH govt does it strongly.
Here is a report:

“Aceh Sharia forbids Chinese dance of the lions;
The provincial authorities say it is alien to local culture and violates religious harmony. The descendants of the Chinese respond that is only “a cultural show” to remember the victims of the tsunami. For decades the community – mostly Christian – has been the victim of discrimination and violence for religious or economic reasons.”
https://www.asianews.it/news-en/Aceh-Sharia-forbids-Chinese-dance-of-the-lions-17172.html

A latest Dec 2024 ‘MalayMail’s report headlined:

“Silent night in Aceh as Indonesian Catholics hold modest Christmas mass amid Shariah law restrictions”,

Which reports the following:

“Christmas decorations are not allowed on the streets of Aceh — the only Indonesian province to implement strict Shariah law that includes punishments like flogging — where 98 per cent are Muslim and just 6,000 Catholics live.”

https://www.malaymail.com/amp/news/world/2024/12/25/silent-night-in-aceh-as-indonesian-catholics-hold-modest-christmas-mass-amid-shariah-law-restrictions/161064

Aceh authority protects its people from Shirk and they are determined about it. Al Hamdulillah! Obviously, that qualifies ACEH as a land of Hijrah over those Arab lands, such as Turkey, Malaysia, and other regions of Indonesia. And Allah knows best.

Protection of Immoralities/ ZIna/:

How does ACEH protect its people from a Zina environment?
Here is a report:

“Indonesia’s Aceh bans unrelated men and women from being together in public.”

https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/indonesian/aceh-sharia-men-women-separation-tightened-08112023103810.html

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“Undoubtedly allowing women to mix freely with men is the basis of all evils. This is one of the greatest causes of punishment coming down upon everyone and of public and private affairs becoming corrupt. Free mixing of men and women is the cause of much immorality and adultery, and it is the cause of general doom and diseases.”

“One of the greatest causes of general doom is the prevalence of adultery because of allowing women to mix freely with men and to walk amongst them making a wanton display of their beauty. If the powers that be knew how much corruption it causes to worldly interests and to people, they would prevent it most vigorously.”
(Al-Turuq al-Hakamiyyah, p. 408)

So, here again, Aceh authority is protecting Muslims from the Zina environment which is a normal thing to most of the Muslim-majority lands. And obviously, that qualifies ACEH as a land of Hijrah over those Arab lands and other so-called Muslim lands, such as Turkey, Malaysia, and other regions of Indonesia. And Allah knows best.

PROTECTION from HARAM:

An Indonesian newspaper serembinews.com reports:
“The government will increase cigarette prices which will take effect from January 1, 2025.
This policy is part of the steps to control cigarette consumption, in line with the ongoing campaign to prohibit tobacco use.”

May Allah grant us land for Hijrah where our generations will remain safe from Shirk, Kufr and Haram.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
Ameen.
