Anti-Pancasila Kyai, Achmad Munib Visited Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir

.
JAKARTA – Kyai (title of an ulama’ in Java – ed.) Haji (KH) Achmad Munib, a religious figure who got known in this country for his staunch antipathy towards the Pancasila. Such was his aversion that on the front door of the porch of his house, as well as on the wall of Masjid Nurul Falah, a calligraphy of the Ayat al Kursi (the Verse of the Throne) surrounding the Malay Arabic calligraphy that reads “anti-pancasila - our obligation, as Muslims”, are displayed.


One of the reasons that make him known is his persistence in opposing Pancasila. Since the Pancasila was established in Indonesia as the foundation of the state of RI (Republic of Indonesia) he has been istiqomah in rejecting and being free (declaring bara'ah) from the Pancasila.

This Kyai is not very open, but his followers are many in the village of Sopeng. He never got out of the complex of his house. He also shuts himself from his neighbors who still belong to a party and whom he considers as supporters of the existence of Pancasila who are contaminated with the ideology of Pancasila. There is a masjid that is big enough in the complex of his house, the masjid is better known as Masjid Anti Pancasila. But the masjid is open to general public, anyone can pray in that Masjid.

According to Mashudi, a student of KH Achmad Munib, when met at the Bareskrim Mabes Polri (Criminal Investigation Police HQ), all these while the Kyai never wanted to be visited by officials, even the Regent of Sumenep who wanted to see him was rejected outright. He is also reluctant to be interviewed by reporters, besides he is not especially able to speak Indonesian, the everyday language used are Madurese and Arabic. When the student was asked what exactly made KH Achmad Munib so anti towards the Pancasila? He stated he didn’t really know, the Kyai had been like that since his uzlah to draw closer to Allah. He believes the Pancasila is kufr. The Pancasila is the same as the law of Fir'aun.

KH Achmad Munib and Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir first met up in December 2009 at a tabligh akbar given by Abu Bakar Ba'asyir at his masjid. The convention was attended by more than a 1000 people, the number of jama’ah who attended and spilled out of the masjid impressed Kyai Munib. Before that, these two figures had not known each other.

This Kyai who likes to fast departed with his students from Madura on Wednesday 16th February 2011 and on Thursday, they stopped over and stayed in the office of the JMC (Jama’ah Ansarut Tauhid Media Center) in Bekasi. Friday, 18th February 2011 at 14.00 West Indonesian Time, KH Achmad Munib finally arrived at the Bareskrim Mabes Polri.


There were approximately nine people in two cars in the entourage. Once arriving and alighting, they had to wait in the queue in order to enter the cells of the Bareskrim Mabes Polri.

Alhamdulillah, the contributor of MuslimDaily.com got a chance to see this precious moment of KH Achmad Munib visiting Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir inside the cell. This elderly Kyai who is already over 80 years of age, wore a dark green shirt and turban with a white cap sticking on his head, as well as wearing thick glasses.

Though already old, but still seen as firm.


Inside the cell, KH Achmad Munib sat side by side with Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir who at that time was dressed all in white. Ustadz Abu gave a taushiyah in front of the students of KH Achmad Munib, the following is the excerpt:

“Defending Islam must be understood, the way is with jihad, the goal is the establishment of Islamic Shari’ah. Islam will not be defended before a power is established, a power will not be established without jihad. Because, for the kafir, their way of fighting Islam is by forcing Muslims to be murtad.

وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ

“And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion.” (Q.S. Al-Baqarah : 120)

The Muslims are given the choice of wanting to be murtad or fought against.

وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّى يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا

“… And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able…” (Q.S. Al-Baqarah : 217).

Today the kafir divide the Islamic ummah into two camps; Radical Islam, which they are fighting against, or Moderate Islam, this is assisted first, but in the end will still be fought against until they want to be murtad. The proof? In Bosnia, there were no Muslim who were radical, all are moderate, even adjusting to the Christians, that was from their own confession when fleeing to Malaysia.

Inevitably, even the moderates were exterminated, that is the character of the kafir where the nas (texts) could be found in the Qur’an, therefore they must be confronted with the ‘power’. This is what should be understood, because day in, day out, the fitnah is increasingly intensified, more and more pressured, hopefully this will become a cause for the help of Allah to come until we can rise up.”

Precisely at the time when the adzan of Asr prayer resonated, Ustadz Abu ended his taushiyah. The same goes with KH Achmad Munib, he made a move to say his farewell and leave the cell of the Bareskrim Mabes Polri. Both of them were shaking hands and hugging each other, when parting Ustadz Abu requested that they pray for him to obtain husnul khatimah. The visit was ended with a do’a prayed by Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir and the students of KH Achmad Munib said their “amen!
