Reject and Beware of the Ex-HTI Presence in the Veranda of Mecca
By: Anggara Putra *
The political constellation makes the entire community’s attention centered on the continuation of the 2019 Election. This moment also became an opportunity for ex-HTI banned groups of organizations to return to the guerrilla merging into various mass organizations. Although it has been passed, the ex-HTI still continues to strive to uphold the Khilafah system and replace the basic state and ideology of Pancasila in Indonesia.
Ex-HTI’s efforts to get public recognition are carried out massively. Both print and social media have circulated a lot of propaganda that contains the Anti Pancasila Ideology and discrediting the current government.
Propaganda carried out by HTI clearly contradicts the 1945 Constitution, Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, NKRI, and Islamic teachings. In Islam, loving the homeland is part of faith (hubbul wathan minal iman). While the khilafah project, accused the heretics and infidels on the NKRI, part of their attitude to hate their own homeland and threaten the sovereignty of the Indonesian people.
One example is in Jombang, East Java. Every Friday there are still activities in distributing bulletins belonging to ESK-HTI to the pilgrims after the Friday prayer service in front of the Baitul Mukminin Mosque in Al Jombang. According to the official NU bulletin portal the former HTI bulletin called Al-Islam was changed to Kaffah after the Indonesian government officially dissolved the organization.
However, lately the activity of distributing bulletins is done in an underbow manner. As happened in the Aceh region with the same method, the ex-HTI individuals again spread the Kaffah bulletin after the Friday prayer, in the mosque of West Aceh, including the Grand Mosque of Baitul Makmur and the Ar-Rahim Babbusalam Mosque in two exlempers.
Not enough through tabloids, the ex-HTI members also held Tabligh Akbar activities by merging in several organizations so that the activity was acceptable to the community. But it did not escape its purpose, the activities of Tabligh Akbar in order to memepringati Isra ‘Mi’raj of the Prophet Muhammad included lectures and da’wah which essentially upheld the Khilafah system in Indonesia.
With the circulation of the Kaffah bulletin and activities sponsored by ex-HTI individuals to invite the Caliphate. urged the public throughout the territory of Indonesia, especially the Aceh region to carefully understand the writing and activities that take place in it. If you find something that leads to Anti Pancasila, immediately report it to the authorities to be followed up immediately.
Therefore, we as the majority of moderate Muslims berahah Aswaja, who believe in Indonesia as darul-ahdi (country of agreement) with the sentence of sawa ‘(consensus) nationally namely Pancasila. Must maintain & maintain the integrity of the NKRI.
