the chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH Ma'ruf Amin was asked to resign from his post in order to maintain the independence of the institution he leads.Since the Pancasila Ideology Advisory Board (BPIP) was formed President Jokowi and Ma'ruf lined up as a member of the Board Steering Committee, Ma'ruf allegedly has turned into a mouthpiece of government. Included in the case of blasphemy by Sukmawati Soekarnoputri. *
"There is one question that arose with the sitting KH Ma'ruf Amin in BPIP formed based on Presidential Regulation No. 54 of 2017 dated May 19, 2017namely, to what extent Pak Kyai can maintain his independence as chairman of the MUI, because he is currently also sitting in an institution directly under the President, "said Darby Jusbar Salim from NKS Consult, via a written broadcast on Saturday (7/4/2018).
he reminded that the MUI is a religious organization founded by 10 Islamic Organizations, 4 Elements of the TNI / Polri Spiritual Bodies and 13 prominent Muslim Scholars / figures on 17 Rajab 1395 H or 26 July 1975.
in the Basic Guidelines of the MUI, in its Muqaddimah, described the position of MUI * existence, ie as Waratsatulanbiya 'or the heir of the Prophet and khadamul ummah (servant of the ummah) *. This institution is an * independent institution * as set forth in article 3 of the Fundamentals.
in article 4 point 4 described, one of the functions of MUI is as a giver of fatwa to Muslims and government, whether requested or not requested.
this function is clarified in Article 6 paragraph (3) stating that MUI's function is to give warning, advice and fatwa on religious and social matters to the people and government wisely (wisdom) and soothing.
while Article 6 (6) states that MUI is the liaison between ulama and umara (government), and the reciprocal interpreter between the government and the people in order to reach the quality community (khaira ummah) who is accepted by Allah SWT (baldatun thayyibatun wa rabbun ghafur).
The main mission of MUI is to become the Da'wah Islamiyah Institution implementing Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar. *
"MUI has been running well, in accordance with the Basic Guidelines, * but the situation is different when KH Ma'ruf Amin as chairman, currently resides in the Working Unit under the President and becomes the Sub-Ordinate President because of its independence start distracted and doubt *how will he warn the President and the Government, if he is inside, and become part of the President's own policy? "Darby asked.
He hesitated, as general chairman of MUI, Ma'ruf Amin can "scold" the President when doing munkar, such as breaking the law that harms the people *. Whereas as * general chairman of MUI, he still has the responsibility to give warning and enforce amar ma'ruf nahi munkar *.
"So, in this case it is clear there are two interests that collide," he said.
He cited the attitude of Ma'ruf who is no longer independent, when the Chairman of Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto speaks about the number of thieves, so the budget leaked. ma'ruf immediately commented by asking Prabowo not to throw a lot of issues, * while on the other hand in praising the performance of Jokowi * which he said is good with the motto work work.
"From this moment, we are wondering, is not Pak Kiayi's task in the field of Pancasila Ideology? Why does he comment on matters that have nothing to do with his basic task at BPIP?" added Derby.
He thinks that Ma'ruf is now a jokowi mouthpiece, even impressed to have replaced the function of presidential spokesperson * held by Johan Budi, because that should respond to Prabowo's speech is Johan Budi, not the task of a BPIP Steering Committee him.
self-
He even wondered, * did Ma'aruf have turned a blind eye to the fact that in this country there are many thieves, as Prabowo has said?
- "Therefore, in order to avoid a conflict of interest, KH Ma'ruf Amin should choose one position, remain as chairman of MUI or remain in BPIPif you want to stay in BPIP, Pak should immediately release his position as general chairman of MUI, for the good of MUI and the good of the ummah as a whole, "* he stressed.
as is known, lately, along with the explosion of the blasphemy case of Islam by Sukmawati Soekarnoputri, Ma'ruf's reaction to this case was shocking because he asked Muslims to forgive Sukmawati.
"He really has no intention to insult Islamtherefore he apologize and today we are sorry to convey to the audience, especially Muslims, "said Ma'ruf after receiving Sukmawati at MUI office on Thursday (5/4/208).
sukmawati accused of blaspheming Islam because in the poem titled 'Mother Indonesia' which he created himself and read during the title of Indonesia Fashion Week 2018, he membndingkn veil with a skewer and assume that the voice of the mother of Indonesia is more melodious than the sound of the call to prayer.
Ma'ruf's statement caused cash to inflamed Muslims, including members of the Law Commission and Law MUI Abdul Chair Ramadan. when action in front of Criminal Investigation Police, Friday (6/4/2018) which demanded that Bareskrim immediately process the case of blasphemy by Sukmawati, he appealed to thousands of action participants to not care about Ma'ruf's statement.
"I ask that we do not need to ignore the appeal of Chairman of MUI Ma'ruf AminI am a MUI lawyer. I do not accept. I am ready to deal with anyone, "he said.
Abdul even said Ma'ruf's statement was of no value before the law, and he urged Bareskrim to continue the legal process, even though Sukmawati had already apologized. (man)
