More than 100 nabbed, suspects believe their leader is still alive in the hereafter

The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) has arrested 108 people linked to GISBH for committing multiple offenses related to Shariah law.

The offenses include issues of faith, unauthorised charitable collections, and unlawful marriages, as JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad explained.

Investigations also revealed the suspects practicing beliefs that contradict Islamic laws or fatwa which include their leaders bringing blessings to ensure entry into heaven, practicing Aurad Muhamaddiah teachings, and believing their leader Abuja, who died in 2010, is still alive in a realm beyond ours.

“This includes their beliefs…that (the group’s) leadership provides blessings to the members, allowing them to enter paradise, practicing Aurad Muhammadiah, believing that Abuja is not dead and is the unseen realm, that his body floats because Allah has elevated him, and that either the Prophet pbuh or Abuja is present at some of the gatherings that the group hosted,” Shahzihan was quoted as saying.
