Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the PERAHMAT teaching of Ismail bin Kasim deviates from Islam. Reasons include the claim that all pillars of Islam are invalid without learning its knowledge of the shahadah, the insistence that zikir nafas is the only way to seek Allah, belief in wahdatul wujud, false interpretation of the Quran, reliance on fabricated hadith and excessive reverence for the teacher. Muslims are forbidden to hold, believe, spread or practise it, and those involved must repent. Muslims are also forbidden to possess or distribute related materials and to aid in these acts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mana-mana orang Islam hendaklah menjauhi ajaran Ismail bin Kasim sebagaimana yang dinyatakan dalam perenggan 1 dan dilarang daripada berpegang pada, mempercayai, menyebarkan atau mengamalkannya.
