JAKARTA - Lecturer of the Department of Communication at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia (FISIP UI), Ade Armando counterattacked Imam Syamsi Ali after the opinion that it was not obligatory to carry out Islamic law was conveyed without using the brain.
According to Ade, as a priest, especially since he has lived in New York for a long time, the person concerned should have a strong tradition of logic, differing opinions by presenting intelligent arguments.
Instead of doing so, the Grand Imam at the Islamic Center of New York was dark, raving and emotionally responding to Ade's argument about Islamic law.
"Shamsi Ali has been predicted to be an imam in a New York mosque so he must be smart and civilized. Moreover, he has lived in a big city for decades, where the tradition of discussion and arguing is deeply rooted but (Syamsi's) tweets are pathetic," Ade explained through the Cokro TV Youtube channel that was reported on Tuesday, November 2.
Syamsi Ali previously told Ade Armando to use his brain when he wanted to talk about Islamic law. This departs from the opinion of Ade, who claims to be a Muslim but does not believe that Muslims must follow Islamic law.
In addition, Ade Armando said that if Indonesia implemented Islamic law, it would be destroyed. Ade's argument is that the Shari'a was revealed according to the context in which it applies. That is, the nuances of sharia in the Qur'an have the context of the Arab world in the 7th century.
For Syamsi, a Muslim is obliged to carry out the Shari'a. When you deny the Shari'a you deny Islam. Your creed is Sharia, you pray is Sharia, you fast, Hajj, eating halal, not eating haram is Sharia, marriage is Sharia, not adultery is Sharia. talk. Use your brain!” said Syamsi.
Ade was surprised, Syamsi Ali should have listened to the arguments in the video that was delivered. In the Qur'an there are many examples of enforcement of the Shari'a other than prayer, fasting, hajj and so on.
For example, the orders to cut off the hands of thieves, to put to death a murderer, to beat adulterers, to give a male inheritance twice as large as a woman, to kill unbelievers who do not want to follow Allah's commands.
This includes staying away from Christians, forbidding Muslims from choosing Christian leaders to having sex with slaves and so on. As part of the Shari'a, is it obligatory to run in the 21st century?
"If you don't agree with my point of view, please answer with clear arguments. For example, I want to hear his opinion on examples of commands in the Qur'an that are currently being carried out in public life in Indonesia (forbidding Muslims to choose leaders outside the country). Islam, the thief cut off his hand, ed). Do you think the order is unnecessary or not?"
"This answer is important to understand his perspective on the obligation to organize social life," said Ade.
Ade even asked Syamsi that if a Muslim doesn't fast, doesn't go on a pilgrimage, or eats pork, does that mean he's reneging on Islam? In this world, according to Ade, many Muslims do not pray 5 times a day.
"Do they deny Islam? I do not consider my Muslim friends who do not pray, do not fast, drink wine for example, deny Islam," said Ade.
