Summary
The Penang fatwa gazetted on 1 March 2007 declares efforts to revive Arqam through Rufaqa’ Corporation Sdn. Bhd. and its affiliated companies to be prohibited. The teachings of its members are assessed as resembling the banned Arqam and as deviating from Islam. The deviations are grouped into offences against Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, Islamic law, and social ethics and morals. Examples include belief in Haji Ashaari as Sahibul Zaman, claims of direct revelation or inspiration, and the view that Friday prayer is not obligatory.
