Insults Against Islam

In addition to teaching Islamic theology Theosofi destructive, Theosofi activists in Indonesia in the past been involved in various acts of harassment against the teachings of Islam. Ironically, they are the ones mentioned in the history books as the national figures.
In the book "History of Modern Indonesia", historian MC Ricklef said Theosofi in Indonesia in the past been involved in various acts of harassment against Islam. Not only are many teachings contrary to the Islamic faith, as many described by the author in writing some of the last edition, but also the activists Theosofi which national elites in the past, too many abusing Islam. Activists Theosofi the elite Javanese mystics generally consider Islam as a religion that does not comply with the import of cultural and national identity of Java.

AD El Marzededeq, Freemasons network researchers in Indonesia and author of "Jewish Freemasonry Devastate Islamic World" states providing an elite group Theosofi Java and Freemasonry in the past. Marzededeq wrote, "Society in Javanese mysticism stemming from Sheikh Siti understand Jenar increasingly support the existence Vrijmetselarij (Freemasons). Javanese elites wihdatul adopts the form (the union of man with God, red) brought by Sheikh Siti Jenar, and many become members Theosofi-Freemasonry, either pure or mixed up with Javanese mysticism ... "(p.8).
Javanese elites and national figures who joined as members Theosofi-Freemasonry in Indonesia in the past often been behind numerous abuses against Islam. For example, they refer to the Boven Digul better than to Mecca, denounced Sharia polygamy, and called the religion of Java (Gomojowo) or Kejawen better than Islam. Insults are done consciously through the writings in the media and lectures at their gatherings.
Insults became more pointed, when members Theosofi-active Freemason organization Boedi Oetomo, activists clashed with SI.

Radjiman-Wediodiningrat

At a meeting Gubernemen Boemipoetra 1913, Radjiman Wediodiningrat, members Theosofi-Freemason, delivered a speech entitled "Een Studie Omtrent de SI (A Study of the SI)" which insulted members of SI as a lowly, less educated, and to join in promoting emotional SI organization. Radjiman proudly say, talents and abilities of existing Java on activists Boedi Oetomo superior to Islam espoused by activists SI. At the congress Boedi Oetomo 1917, when Muslims are active in Boedi Oetomo asking the organization to the aspirations of Muslims, Radjiman firmly rejected. Radjiman said, "Not at all certain that the Javanese in Central Java earnest and fully embraced Islam."
Members Theosofi other activists also Boedi Oetomo, Goenawan Mangoenkoesoemo, also remarks that disparage Islam. Sister of dr. Tjipto Mangoekoesomo said, "In many ways, Islam is even less familiar and less friendly to often appear hostile to the nature of our habits. First of all this is evident from the prohibition to copy the Qur'an into the Java language. Hackneyed Javanese people might view it was amazing. But a nationalist who thinks, feels that as an insult is very low. Was our beautiful language is less worthy, too profane to convey the message the Prophet? "

Goenawan Mangoenkoesoemo

Goenawan Mangoenkoesomo is among the national leaders in attendance at Loji Theosofi Netherlands in 1918, in addition to Ki Hajar Dewantara, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the establishment Boedi Oetomo. What is written above Goenawan quoted from the book Soembangsih Gedenkboek Boedi Oetomo 1908-May 1918, published in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In the same book, still in a tone harassing, Goenawan wrote, "If we knelt and prayed, then the language should be used is the language of the Arabs ..."

Ki Hajar Dewantara

Youth organizations patterned Javanese mysticism in the past is also not free from the influence of Theosofi-Freemason. Historically, these youth organizations infiltrated by interests seeking to get rid of Islam.
In recorded history, discharge Syamsuridjal of membership Jong Java (Java Youth Association) and later founded Jong Islamietend Bond (JIB / Islamic Youth Association) is due Jong Java organization refused to hold a lecture or teaching of Islam for Muslim members in this organization. Meanwhile, the Catholic religion and Theosofi actually have a place to be taught in the meetings Jong Java. In the past, Jong Java is an organization under the influence of mysticism Theosofi.

Influential figure in the Islamic rid of Jong Java organization is Hendrik Kraemer, Society of Biblical Dutch envoy appointed adviser Jong Java. Historian Karel Steenbrink in "Comrade in the Showdown: The Dutch Colonial Islam in Indonesia 1596-1942" Kraemer wrote that the Jesuit missionaries were active giving lectures Theosofi and Catholic teaching to members of Jong Java. In this youth organization, Kraemer in to nullify the teachings of Islam. (See, Karel Steenbrink, p.162-163)
Besides Syamsuridjal, demand that Islam be taught in teaching Java Jong also voiced Singodimedjo Kasman. Kasman even suggested the Jong Java uses the principles of Islam and became a pioneer in the movement for youth organizations, such as Sumatrenan Jong, Jong Celebes, and Youth The Betawi. Kasman argued that Islam is the majority religion in the archipelago, and able to resolve any disputes in organizations which time many fragmented. Because not approved, then on January 1, 1925, the youth of Islam founded Jong Islamietend Bond (JIB / Islamic Youth Association) in Jakarta. By using the word "Islam", JIB obviously want to remove the barriers of regionalism and tribalism, and tie the rope of Islam.
In Statuten JIB described on the association principle and purpose: First, the study recommends that the religion of Islam and its teachings practiced. Second, the growing sympathy for Islam and its followers, in addition to a positive tolerance of people of different religions. In the first congress JIB, Syamsuridjal flatly stated, "Fighting for Islam, that is the soul of our organization." I Batavia.

To counter abuses against Islam, the Muslim youths who joined in later founded the magazine JIB Het Licht meaning light (An-Nur). The magazine is firmly positioned itself as the media tried to counteract the efforts of groups outside of Islam who want to extinguish the light of God, as they have never experienced while still in the Jong Java. Motto Magazine Het Licht are listed in the front cover of this magazine firmly refer Surah At-Tawbah verse 32: "They were trying to extinguish the light (religion) of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refused, even willing perfecting His light, though the the infidels do not like. "JIB also strongly counter harassment of Islam, as done by Bangoen Magazine, led by activist magazine Theosofi, Siti Soemandari. Bangoen magazine funded by the Freemasons organization 9-10 in 1937 edition contains articles that insult the wives of the Prophet. Insult was then greeted by activists JIB and other Muslims hold rally in Batavia.

Siti Soemandari

Earlier, in 1926, two years before the events of the Youth Pledge, the young activists from Theosofen Jong (Youth Theosofi) and Jong Vrijmetselaarij (Youth Freemason) is busy holding meetings youth. In the same year, they tried to hold a youth congress in Batavia were rejected by the JIB, because congress was funded by the organization and held at the Freemason lodges Broderketen, Batavia. JIB rejection reason, feared congress compromised by the interests of trying to get rid of Islam. Moreover, Tabrani, the originator of this congress are members of the Freemasons and had received a scholarship from Dienaren van Indie (Abdi Indies), an activist organization run scholarship Theosofi-Freemason.
In 1922, as written by AD El Marzededeq in "Dark Network Freemasonry: The History and Development Up to Indonesia" mentioned that in the Loge Broderketen, Batavia, also unheard of action harassment against Islam by one activist Freemason who gave a speech at that time with said, "Islam according to them it is a blend of Arab culture, Judaism, and Christianity. Indonesia has its own culture and Arab culture is not higher than Indonesia. Which they have Borobudur and Mendut? better
The secular nationalist activists, especially those who are active in the organization Theosofi and Freemason trying to keep the role of religion, particularly Islam, in the system of government. Countries do not need to be regulated by religion, simply by reason and moral man.

Understanding nationalism promoted by the secular nationalist groups in the past in this country is the ideology of the "sacred" religion neutral (laa diniyah) and often dibentur-knock with Islam. Secular nationalist groups, as reflected in the thinking of activists Sukarno and other nationalities that exist in organizations like Boedi Oetomo, are those who reject religion interfering in pemeritahan system. They try to keep the role of religion, particularly Islam, in the system state and nation. They made ​​Turkey a secular, under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal At-Taturk as a mecca for managing government.

dr. Soetomo

Qibla nationalities to Turkey Secular figures reflected clearly in the statement Boedi Oetomo, Soetomo saying, "Developments in Turkey is a clear indication that the ideals of" Pan-Islamism "has been replaced by nationalism." With a sense of pride, while addressing the Congress Party of Indonesia Raya (Parindra) in 1937, Soetomo said, "We should take the example of the Jewish nations, which revive the Hebrew language. Tsjech While the Turks and respect back to their own people."

dr.Tjipto Mangoenkoesomo

Oetomo Boedi other figures, dr Tjipto Mangoenkoesomo, also sarcastically asked that this nation is aware of the danger of "Pan-Islamism", namely the danger of Islamic unity that stretches around the world, with the system and the Islamic government under the Khilafah Islamiyah. In 1928, Tjipto Mangoenkoesoemo wrote to Soekarno that it reminds young people to beware of the dangers of Pan-Islamism hidden agenda Haji Agus Salim and HOS Tjokroaminoto. Tjipto worry, Islamic activists accused of fomenting agenda Pan-Islamism in the archipelago were able to master the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI). If they made ​​it into the PPKI, said Tjipto, the ideals of nationhood will be destroyed.

HOS Tjokroaminoto

The statement further clarifies stance Tjipto Mangoenkoesomo understand the bearer's nationality or secular nationalists who tried to stem all efforts and ideals of Islam in the national movement and government in this country. Before kemerdekaa n, the debate about Islam and nationalism among the groups represented by the secular nationalist Sukarno and his friends with the Islamist group that represented A. Hassan, M. Natsir, and H. Agus Salim is so strong to the public. Polemics on the state to open discussion in the media. The Islamist group wants a future independent state, making Islam as the foundation of a state. While the secular nationalist group tried to separate religion and government. "When religion is used for rule human societies, it has always been used as a tool in the hands of the Punisher kings, the tyrants, and those iron hands," Sukarno quoted Mahmud Essad Bey.
SI, the organization that carries the movement of Islamic ideals, through the characters HOS Tjokroaminoto SI is called upon to move forward tandzim to regulate the lives of the people in the field of economic, social, cultural, according to the principles of Islam. While H. Agus Salim, in addition to calling for resistance against capitalism, has also called on the Islamic Caliphate and Pan-Islamism, so stand up what is called the Central Committee Chilafat. Nationalism in this sense is to promote Salim homeland based on Islamic ideals.

Mohammad Natsir the Islamic Defenders Magazine wrote in 1931 that the group wants to separate religion from state affairs is the "diniyah laa" (religion neutral). Natsir asserted, there was no difference between the ideals of nationalism and Islamic activists about the vision of an independent state. Natsir states, freedom for Muslims Islam is for freedom, to apply the rules and laws of Islam, for the safety and primacy Muslims in particular, and for all God's creatures generally. Natsir satirical secular nationalist group, saying, "The movement which is based on nationality will not give a damn, if the number of Indonesian Muslim population is less than 85% of the existing population, became an apostate, exchanging religion. Christianity may, Theosofi good, Buddhist indifference."

van Mook

While national groups, especially those active in the organization Theosofi and Freemason, campaigning that nationalism should be built in this country in accordance with the doctrine of humanism, in which man has the right to determine the law homemade aims to serve humanity without any religious interference. Van Mook, prominent Freemason in the Dutch East Indies when it was, in a speech at the Loge Mataram, Yogyakarta, 1924, said: "Freemasonry nationalism towards guiding ideals of humanity."
Humanism brought by colonial elites, teruatama those active as a member of the Freemasons Theosofi and is then "transmitted" to "proteges" of the Javanese elite priyai and be a servant of the Company. They campaigned about the equality of all religions, do not believe in the law of God and trusting nature of nature, and of course, as the trend of imperialism European countries when it was campaigning danger "Pan-Islamism", the spirit of solidarity of the Islamic world to establish a government.
Therefore, in order to stem the Pan-Islamism in the archipelago, especially when it's a lot of Islamic leaders who returned from the Hajj in Makkah and studied also voiced Pan-Islamism, the colonial government established bases counterpoint to support the establishment of national organizations such as the Boedi Oetomo, Jong Java, and others. In addition, they also embrace the priyai as an arm of the colonial government, giving breadth to their offspring children to attend school in the Netherlands, and established education-neutral education (Neutrale onderwijs), which is based on the formation of human character based on the natural law nature.
Not a few of the elite and priyai Java when it is, both are active in national organizations or those who served as the Resident, Resident Assistant, district officer, and others in the organization Theosofi and Freemasons. In fact, not a few also from those who entered as a member of the Rotary Club, a humanitarian agency established by the International Zionism. Harassment by abuse of Islam by the bearers of nationality, such as the statement that the Boven Digul better than to Mecca, the hajj is a national effort to hoard capital to foreign interests, Islam is a religion that seeks to colonize the soil import Java, and so on.

Related to Theosofi, Allahyarham Mohammad Natsir in Panji Magazine Islam:
Theosofi-Freemasons do not believe in ritual prayer to the Creator. They also do not believe in heaven and hell. Theosofi members who claim Muslims, making interpretation of the teachings of Islam with a distorted understanding.
As masonry who believes that God has many names, and each religion is different from the name on his god, then Theosofi adherents who consider themselves Muslims, translate sentences tayyibah "La ilaha illallah" with "Gusti There is no God but Allah Gusti" . Translations are then explained, that sense there are two kinds: First, we should not believe another way of power or other power but God Gusti has its own power. Second, that the human body occupies Gusti Allah. Description of the magazine is written in Indian Land Announcers Theosofi Boeat Nederland, 1906.
The first meaning, although it seemed to look good, that we should not believe in the power and strength as well as the dipunya Gusti Allah, but in view of Theosofi Gusti Allah is the Lord of every religion, which is an inner unity in the faith (esoteric). God in confidence Theosofi has many names: God, Yahweh, Sang Hyang, and others, who essentially think they refer to the One Substance, even though his name is different, though religion different way. Prominent secular founder Paramadina Foundation, Nurcholish Madjid ever make a post with the title "One God Many Roads".

Nurcholis Madjid

Aberrant translation of the phrase "La ilaha illallah" has also been done by the late Nurcholish Madjid. He translated the phrase "La ilaha illallah" and "There is no god but God." Cak Nur which is the locomotive of the secular movement in Indonesia is divided god (with a "t" small) with God (with a "T" is great). Cak Nur Translation refers to the translation considered Western and the Bible, which mentions God as "god" (the "g" is small) and "God" (with a "G" is great). In Psalms 109:1, 2 mentioned "The Lord says to my lord."
In Islam, the word "Allah" is lafzhul jalalah (lafazh high and noble), referred to in the Qur'an as much as 2679 times, all in the singular (simplex) or single. God in the Islamic faith is "al-ma'bud haqqin bi", the only substance that has the right to be worshiped, that no appeal to Him, nothing is like unto Him, not berbilang and has no other name, except for Al -Asma 'Al-Husna which are attributes of His majesty. The word "Allah" can not be defined as "God" as the word "al-ilah". (See, Ahmad Husnan, Do not Translate Al-Quran and Orientalists Gospel According to Vision, New York: Media Propagation, 1987)
The second meaning of the phrase "La ilaha illallah" ala Theosofi translation, namely the human body occupies Gusti Allah, is the belief of kufr which refers to understanding wihdatul form or al-Hulul. Got this in the past in the archipelago known as the "manunggaling gusti subjects", which is the belief that man and God are united, as confidence brought by Sheikh alias Sheikh Siti Jenar Weak Abang. Theosofi call manunggalnya with God as the jet is called the "pletik Divine (God in being)".
The real man (real Ingsun) in the belief that the practice is a human Theosofi lelaku mind so that it can unite with God. The real man is the radiance of God's image. So True Man must practice the principles of the Divine, which is love, truth, and unity of life. "By getting to know ourselves, we will know God, Kasunjatan Life, Truth. God is Life, the Way, Truth, Love. Allah covers you for everything. God is all in all. We live, move, and exist in Him . "This is called divine or God in pletik being. (PB Perwathin, no. 5, Year VIII, May 1973). The Love, according Theosofi, combine all in unity.
Beliefs about manunggalnya servant to God also revealed figures Boedi Oetomo, doctors Soetomo. In the book "Memories of Doctor Soetomo" compiled by Paul W. van der Veur, mentioned that Soetomo transmitting agent has said that the Lord, "That's actually my beliefs. Beliefs That flow with blood in every vein of my body. Indeed, as- fit right. " (P. 30). Soetomo also said, "I and He is in essence, the embodiment of God. Realized I was the incarnation of God ..." (P.31).
Soetomo Theosofi mystics as the other, do not pray five times a day should other Muslims, but doing meditation, meditation, yoga, and so on. "Soetomo more concerned about" meditation "to get a peace of life, rather than prayer," wrote Paul W. van der Veur (p.31). Because quite simply by meditation, then the mystics did not perform the ritual prayer to the Almighty. For those who bear the attitude of mindful meditation is enough to get closer to God.

Helena Petrona Blavatsky

Theosofi founder, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in her book "Science Theosofi Unlocking Key (The Key to Theosophy)" states that Theosofi not believe in prayer, and do prayers. Theosofi trust "willingness prayer" is addressed to the Father in heaven esoteric sense, that God had nothing to do with the shadow of man, or the Lord's divine essence shared by all religions. Pray, said Blavatsky contains two negative aspects: First, kill the confidence of human nature in the man himself. Second, develop selfishness. (P.50).
In Islam it is different, Muslims are encouraged to pray as a means of asking for help, begging for protection, complaining all matters to Allah, Lord of the Alamin. Prayer is also a form of humility of a servant to God, as well as a means to communicate intimately with the Creator. "Memohonlah to Me, then surely I will grant petition ..." (Qur'an, 40:60 Ghafir). In another verse, Allah says, "O you who believe, ask for help (to Allah) with patience and prayer. Verily Allah is with those who patiently persevere." (Surat al-Baqarah 2:153)
In addition to not running the ritual prayer, Theosofi-Freemason also do not believe in the existence of sin and reward, heaven and hell, did not even acknowledge the existence of the law of God. They believe the law "nature of nature", which rewards the good and punishment for the crime is determined by the nature of nature and conscience. Confidence Theosofi stated, "If you do, then there will be people who do good reply. If you do evil, then there will be people who pay back evil for you. That's all, just this." This is called the "nature of nature."
Confidence is certainly contrary to what Islam teaches. In Islam, people who do well, in addition to a reply from the people in the world, will also reap the rewards reward from Allah in the Hereafter. Likewise, if you do evil, besides rewarded evil in the world, will also get sin in the afterlife. Muslims who believe and work righteous will enter heaven, the people who claim to be Muslims but to evil and idolatry, especially those outside of Islam or disbelieve it will get a reply in hell. This is the law of God, as Muslims believe there is life after death later.
