TIDAK: Kata Majlis Syura Ulamak PAS (14/1/13)

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:50 PM PST

Alhamdulillah saya kini boleh katakan yang kita tidak "confused" lagi, berikutan kenyataan rasmi Majlis Syura Ulamak PAS yang bersidang malam semalam. Adapun kenyataan penuh yang dikeluarkan adalah:

Kenyataan Rasmi Majlis Syura Ulamak

Mesyuarat Majlis Syura Ulamak pada 2 Rabiul Awwal 1434 bersamaan 13/1/2013 mengambil keputusan sebulat suara bersetuju untuk menyatakan perkara-perkara berikut:

1) Allah adalah kalimah suci yang merujuk kepada Tuhan yang diimani oleh umat Islam, iaitu Allah Yang Esa, Tunggal, tidak beranak dan tidak diperanakkan.

2) Kalimah Allah adalah alami (universal) kerana Allah Tuhan sekalian alam. Siapa pun boleh menyebut kalimah Allah seperti mana orang Arab Jahiliyah yang tidak Islam menyebut Allah lah yang menjadikan alam ini.

3) Kalimah Allah adalah kalimah khusus yang Allah menamakan diri-Nya Allah. Kalimah itu tidak boleh diterjemahkan ke dalam mana-mana bahasa dunia kerana tidak menepati kehendak sebenar dari kalimah ini. Demikian juga tidak boleh kalimah asing hendak diterjemahkan kepada kalimah Allah.

Oleh kerana itu, menterjemah kalimah God atau Lord dari mana-mana kitab agama bukan Islam kepada perkataan Allah tidak dibolehkan kerana ianya salah dari segi makna dan salah guna, tidak menepati kehendak sebenar yang boleh membawa kekeliruan yang nyata. Oleh kerana itu ia hendaklah dicegah.

Kenyataan media ini adalah memperjelaskan maksud kenyataan Al Mursyidul Am, Presiden dan seluruh kepimpinan PAS.

Kenyataan yang walaupun ringkas ini bagi saya sangat padat dan bermakna. Mudah-mudahan melaluinya tiada lagi berbangkit isu ini samada dipolitikkan atau sengaja mahu cari-cari pasal.

Sebelum ini dalam posting saya ada saya utarakan pandangan Dr Asri (bekas Mufti Perlis) berhubung isu ini. Berikut saya sertakan pula pandangan pemikir Islam terkenal, Prof Syed Naguib al Attas. Ini kerana mungkin ada yang tidak boleh terima keputusan Majlis Syura PAS kerana ia dari parti politik, tak boleh terima pandangan Dr Asri, jadi apa kata dengar pula pandangan Prof Syed Naguib.

Bagi saya semuanya menjurus kepada keputusan yang sama, iaitu dalam membicarakan suasana di Semenanjung Malaysia, memang penggunaan nama Allah sebagai "Tuhan" di dalam mana-mana kitab atau rujukan bukan Islam adalah tidak sesuai kerana ia tidak menepati makna sebenarnya dan ia melanggar sesnsitivit umat Islam tempatan.

Berikut pandangan Prof Syed Naguib:

Question: The using of kalimah "Allah" by other people in this country

Answers by Prof. Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas:

Well I have been talking about this long time ago. I remember about this in ISTAC, when we first established ourselves (late 80's and early 90's), I think the Arcbishop of Penang was asking this question. And I have answered that.

And then we had a meeting with the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur and about all the representatives of Christianity, including the ministers, we had a meeting at ISTAC.

And I said, "Why you want to use the word 'Allah' for yourself?"

They said "we going to pray in Bahasa Malaysia"

That's the way they put it. So my answers to them, "Why you have to change praying into Bahasa Malaysia. You have been praying in English all the time. Why suddenly change into Bahasa Malaysia?"

Ok, so they said they want to change so that it more patriotic. Then in that case I'm saying that "why don't you use Tuhan while praying in Bahasa Malaysia? Because you are talking about God isn't it?…God is not just a name…"Allah" is a name of this Being whom you called God… and in fact a Being whom even higher than what you called to be God"

And then I said, " …and "Allah" is not from Bahasa Malaysia. It is not a national language. It belongs to the language of Muslim all over the world. Therefore your argument using this for the word "Allah" does not fit into your idea of God. Because "Allah" does not have a son, It is not one of three (Trinity), that is why out of respect to Allah we can't allow you to use this."

But when we Muslim, when we write in English we say God, or when we talk to people we say God but we mean "Allah"…but they cannot say when they speak about God it means "Allah" as they don't mean it.

So in this particular respect, we have to be clear about this, not was-was (hesitate)...whomever responsible in our governing, they have to be clear about this and to explain to others.

We agree you want to use God, then use Tuhan as we also use that…but we understand in the Malay language that Tuhan is not a translation of Allah..that is why we say "tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah" not "tiada Tuhan melainkan Tuhan". We don't say "there is not God but God"..at least the ulama' among the Muslim Malays, we understand what is the meaning of that (word "Allah").

So "Allah" cannot be translated as no language has translated Allah. The Arabs themselves they only use that after Islam..although the word existed (before)..the Christians Arab they also did not use Allah (in theological, epistemological and ontological sense in the same manner as the Muslim)..if they say that it is just a language..they talking about language..because they say "Allah" like the Muslim when they (melatah)…

So it appears they want to do that in order to confuse the Muslim into thinking that all the same..that is why I say one of the problems about religion is the nature of God..about who Allah is..that is why in Arkanul Iman (The Pillars of Faith), the first thing is "amana billah".

Semoga Allah swt melindungi kita semua.
