Sultan Selangor: Kontroversi Gereja Damansara

Assalamualaikum,
Saudara hari ini dilapurkan dalam semua akhbar keputusan Sultan Selangor mengenai serbuan pihak JAIS terhadap premis Gereja di Damansara. Kita muatkan disini sebagai reference apa ketetapan atau pandangan Sultan mengenai kes ini.

"We, the Head of the Religion of Islam in the State of Selangor, take great concern over the actions by the Enforcement Division of the Selangor Department of the Religion of Islam (Jais) which carried out a search at the Thanksgiving Dinner event which was held at Hall 3, Dream Centre Complex, Section 13, Petaling Jaya on Aug 3, 2011.
We hope that the people of Selangor, regardless of race and religion, do not misconstrue and dispute the actions of Jais before knowing exactly the true facts of the actions taken.
As the State Department responsible for the enforcement of Islamic Laws in the State, Jais has the heavy task of ensuring that the Religion of Islam in Selangor is always protected and given prestige, in line with its position as the Religion of the State of Selangor under Article XLVII of the Laws of the Constitution of Selangor, 1959, as well as the religion of the Federation under Clause (1) Article 3 of the Federal Constitution.
Jais has submitted to Us the full report of the search carried out at the Dream Centre Complex, Section 13, Petaling Jaya as well as the subsequent actions taken by Jais.
We have thoroughly read in detail the said report and We are satisfied that the actions of Jais were correct and did not breach any laws enforceable in Selangor.
The actions of Jais are in line with the jurisdiction provided under Syariah Criminal Procedure (State of Selangor) Enactment, 2003, Syariah Criminal (State of Selangor) Enactment, 1995 and Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Amongst Muslims) Enactment, 1988.
The Religion of Islam as practised in Selangor is one of tolerance. Muslims are always encouraged to respect the believers of other religions.
However, persons or parties cannot take the opportunity to spread other religions to Muslims. This is in line with Clause (1) and (4) Article 11 of the Federal Constitution and Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Amongst Muslims) Enactment, 1988, which prohibits the spread of other religions to Muslims.
Article XLVII of the Laws of the Constitution of Selangor 1959, Clause (1) Article 3 and Clause (1) Article 11 of the Federal Constitution have given the freedom to believers of other religions to practise their beliefs in peace and harmony.
This freedom has been practised in harmony in this State. We wish that this harmony, which has existed for a long time, will continue to exist.
Protect your rights and religion and do not attempt to subvert the belief and faith of Muslims.
Based on the investigations by Jais, there is evidence that there were attempts to subvert the faith and belief of Muslims but that the evidence obtained would be insufficient for further legal actions to be taken.
Therefore, after carefully deliberating the report by Jais and after obtaining advice from religious authorities and legal experts, We are in agreement that there would be no prosecution against any parties.
Even so, We command that Jais provide counselling to Muslims who were involved in the said dinner, to restore their belief and faith in the Religion of Islam.
We also command Jais to carry out preaching to Muslims in a more regular and organised manner so that their belief and faith towards Islam is protected and enhanced.
We hope that after this, any and all activities being carried out or which are going to be carried out for the purposes of spreading other religions to Muslims in Selangor must be ceased immediately and no further activities or anything similar to them are carried out in the future.
We, the Head of the Religion of Islam in the State of Selangor, are gravely concerned and extremely offended by the attempts of certain parties to weaken the faith and belief of Muslims in the State of Selangor. We command that Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (Mais) and Jais always conduct thorough observations and to take necessary actions without hesitation in line with the jurisdiction allowed under the law.
We also wish to take this opportunity to thank all parties who were concerned with this issue and to those who have given their cooperation and undivided support to Jais.
> H.R.H. Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, the Sultan of Selangor."
Saudara, saya berpandangan Sultan Selangor telah membuat keputusan yg amat bijak. Justeru itu, Padri dan siapa saya yg mengetuai ugama selain Islam wajib akur dan faham beberapa perkara: pertama, Malaysia diakui secara resmi negara Islam walaupun tidak sepenuhnya melaksanakan syariat Islam wajib dihormati oleh ketua dan penganut semua agama; kedua, agama yg benar itu hanyalah agama Islam, agama yg menjamin apakah seseorang itu berjaya atau celaka hidup akhiratnya. Jika begitu, adalah lebih wajar ketua agama Islam mendakwahkan dan mengajak padri dan ketua ugama lain kpd kefahaman tentang Islam supaya mereka diberi peluang memilih kesejahteraan atau kebinasaan dalan kehidupan selepas mereka mati.

Jazakallahu khairah
