Summary
The Melaka fatwa declares the Ilmu Makrifat teaching spread by Haji Shaari bin Mohd Yusof through books, talks, DVDs and a website to be deviant and contrary to true Islam based on Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed. The listed deviations include anthropomorphism (mujassimah), wahdatul wujud, al-hulul wa al-ittihad, the claim that God can be seen in this world, and religious liberalism and pluralism. Muslims are forbidden to follow, practise, possess materials of, spread or attend gatherings related to the teaching, and offenders may face action under the laws in force in Melaka.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mana-mana orang Islam yang melakukan mana-mana perkara di atas adalah melakukan kesalahan dan boleh diambil tindakan di bawah undang-undang yang berkuat kuasa di Negeri Melaka.
