SURAT TERBUKA

OPEN LETTER I

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim

To Ikhwan ‘Ulama and Ahli Dzikir
Who are exalted by Allah SWT
Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

First of all, praise be to Allah, shalawat and salam to Rasulullah, Muhammad PBUH and his friends and all the followers as well. Secondly, with all due respect to all my brothers, hopefully Allah always grants His guidance and shelter to His servants who are sincere to hold the mandate of Rasulullah. It is because the credibility of ‘Ulama in giving taushiyah and tadzkirah has been waited by Moslems and the people in general. In addition, only to ‘Ulama the Prophet has given the mandate of the truth of Al Qur-an and Al Hadits.
Therefore, the purpose of this open letter is that I would like to encourage you to thank Allah (tasyakur) for all the privileges and praise given by Allah that has been bestowed to His trustworthy servants, so that we will continue the guidance of the Prophet in accomplishing the mandate of Ad-Din and Ad-Dun-ya in a way to guide Ad-Din Al Islam toward the promise of Allah SWT namely the absolute Islamic law enforcement upon humans around the globe until end of the time where the unconditional Islamic law enforcement will divide the existence of people into two parts, namely Believers who are exalted by Allah and infidel who are disgraceful before Allah as stated in a valid Hadits of the Messenger : recite
“Verily Allah will glorify the command (Islam) in every parts of the globe. And Allah will not allow every city and remote villages but Allah will endow Ad-Dinul Islam to that areas. Allah exalts humans who hold the faith of Islam and disgraces humans who reject the faith.” (Hadits from Muslim, Turmudzi, and Abu Dawud obtained from Tsauban and Syadad bin ‘Aus).
Something has been indicated by Allah in Al Qur-an (QS At Taubah, 9 : 33) :
“It is He (Allah) Who has sent his Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all creed (religion), even though the Pagans may detest (it).”
And then the process of it has even been assured as described in Al Qur-an (QS Al Hasyr, 59 : 2):
“It is He Who got out the infidels among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of their forces). Little did you think that they would get out: and they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected (it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the Believers. Take warning, then O you who possess aptitude.”
It is in fact that Allah has given a special praise to ‘Ulama as recited in Al Qur-an (QS Fathir, 35 : 28) :
“And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, they are of various colors. Those truly fear Allah, among His servants, who have knowledge (‘Ulama) : For Allah is exalted in Might and Most Forgiving.”

Furthermore, Allah has given admiration in His Prominence namely toward Ahli Dzikir or it’s more popular with the terminology of intellectual ‘Ulama through two verses (ayat) with similar implication : QS An Nahl, 16 : 43 and QS Al Anbiya, 21: 7, namely :
“Before you (Muhammad), also, the Messengers We sent were but men to whom We granted revelations : If you do not realize this, ask Ahli Dzikir (intellectual ‘Ulama)."

Hence, with the guidance as stated above, we could say how important the position of ‘Ulama intellectual and Intellectual ‘Ulama in building the world society. As a result, both of them who are affirmed by Allah shows that the existence of Al Qur-an has been confirmed by Allah as the substitute of the previous Holly Books (QS Al Baqarah, 2 : 106) :
“None of Our revelations do we abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar : don’t you know that Allah has power over all things?”
So, Insya Allah we accept positively all His assertions as a norm of law over human beings as recited in Al Qur-an (QS Al Jatsiyah, 45 : 20) :
“These (Al Qur-an) are norm of laws to men, and a Guidance and Mercy to those who are convinced.”
Acquiring some verses mentioned above, there is relevance between the history of human beings from time to time that those always under the guidance of the Messenger because verily Allah insists it. With those facts, it has to become important lessons for those who possess the mandate of the messengers. We could learn from history that how all the destruction upon human beings and how Allah has positioned His operational method to His Messengers so that the restoration can be done and implemented well and correctly by the Messengers under the authorization of Allah.
These days, Allah do not send new messenger after Muhammad PBUH who He declared as the last prophet. And Allah will not deliver new Revelations after Al Qur-an. Meaning that it is our responsibility Mandated by Allah to His servants Who He praises as Khoiru Ummah, Antum Al A’launa and Ijtaba which means Ishtofa. Therefore, it is ‘Ulama intellectual and intellectual ‘Ulama who can comprehend that information. In short, the restoration of humankind and humanity has been authorized to those of two groups due to their comprehension upon the existence and purpose of Al Qur-an and His Messengers’ instruction.
So this is the time that both ‘Ulama intellectual and intellectual ‘Ulama (Ahli Dzikir) should lead humankind together solely for the integration beloved Moslem’s country and guard the wealth of its natural resources. And our beloved generation has a longing for advice, leadership, and direction from ‘Ulama Intellectual and Intellectual ‘Ulama. Hence, let us unite our heart (tansiq) and hold a meeting (Mudzakarrah). We wish Allah will guide and endorse us all.
It is definitely reasonable to inform my beloved brother, ‘Ulama Intellectual and Intellectual ‘Ulama, that :

01. Concerning the weakness of Islam world, it is needed precise concepts that have to be in accordance with Al Qur-an. With no intention to neglect any efforts that have previously been accomplished by ‘Ulama and Moslems such as Islamic Conference which its hub in Mecca and also Islamic Conference Organization, the efforts have not shown achievement desired by Moslems which it is because of the performance of Islam world is still in uncertainty. Moreover, the western governments generally assume that Islam is a threat. Thus, it makes them in all ways to create endless conflicts upon Moslem countries and Moslem themselves.
Facing that matter, it is important to have an agenda for increasing the ability to anticipate, and the ability to manage various problems, challenges, and a variety of new trends that are sensed by Islam world and Moslems in general. The steps should be in accordance with Al Qur-an and valid Al Hadits.

02. The territory of beloved Moslem countries is mostly in strategic locations, fertile, and rich of their natural resources. Because of that, it is an absolute responsibility specially for Ulama Intellectual and Intellectual Ulama to formulate an operational method based on Al Qur-an and valid Al Hadits purposely to defense and return these assets back to be the wealth and legacy for Moslems from generation to generation and to become big countries that can control humanity programs and civilization to all humankinds all over the world.
Those who don’t have faith do not want to be held accountable for their own country and generation and they are so apathetic on the significance of liberty where they sell the richness of the country to foreign country. They even attempt to breakdown and separate the country into small pieces. And finally they give an opportunity to foreigners to dominate and subordinate Moslems.

03. Verily if there was no Prophet then there would not be Al Qur-an, and of course it would be impossible that Allah delivered Islam. And we, as the followers of the prophet, would have not known Islam. So it’s an odd that those who accept Islam as their faith but refuse to acknowledge Al Qur-an and valid Al Hadits as their guidance.
It is a reality, the passage of the society of Islam world these days, that majority of those who accept Islam but ironically they have become a caricature of a civilization. It is caused by the spread of western civilization which called as schizophrenia culture that truly influences and it has become dominant and universal expression of humankinds where its spread is through an incredible weapon which is Media, particularly television.
Verily the western civilization is derived from the history of Europe where its vision toward the world was about racism, personal identity, and nationalism. And then they have a priority over their advancement in technology which they neglect morality and religion. Unfortunately, we have to admit that we, Moslems, have no ability to protect ourselves due to our lack of understanding the character and goal of the media attack.

As a result, the consequence we suffer is that the condition of Moslems today is still incapable in a way to explain the longing for achieving the satisfaction of responsibility of history hope. It is caused by that we have not successfully found yet the way to explain to Moslems in how to implement their faith toward Islam.

Therefore, to cope with all mentioned above, it is necessary to understand the signals for jihad (work hard or perseverance) in preparing and restoring the condition of humankind through a process of well-planned Islamic teaching, in elevating the value of Islam to the surface of humankinds’ vision with intention to both anticipating all non Islamic ideas and embracing the Promise of Allah until the end of the time (QS At Taubah, 9 : 33) with its total enforcement solely upon the Authorization of Allah (QS Al Hasyr, 59 : 2).

For that reason, with all due respect and imploring the Mercy of Allah, I, the servant of Allah, encourage my brothers who are exalted by Allah namely ‘Ulama Intellectual and Intellectual ‘Ulama to hold meeting (Mudzakarah) together in discussing this extremely serious problem with the interest of re-establish the objective and image of Islam toward Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin upon humankinds. Hopefully Allah will endorse and bestow all what has become His Promise in the life of this world.
