Mhd Mohib Khouli Nazem’s Teachings Declared Deviant, Contrary To Islam - MKI

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 (Bernama) --The teachings of Mhd Mohib Khouli Nazem have been declared deviant and in direct conflict with Islamic faith, law and ethics, as well as the beliefs of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah (ASWJ).

Chairman of the Muzakarah Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) Datuk Dr Nooh Gadut, said the decision was based on evidence and research findings that examined the content of his lectures, teachings, speeches, and digital media dialogues.

He said the deviations include claims that Allah SWT must have a child, attributing human-like characteristics and forms to Allah SWT, rejecting ASWJ beliefs, and alleging that prominent ASWJ scholars, including Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, Imam al-Shahrastani, and Imam al-Ghazali, share doctrinal similarities with the deviant Jahmiyyah sect.

“All individuals must avoid these teachings, beliefs, and interpretations. It is strictly prohibited to follow, believe, teach, propagate, practise, or act as a supporter or agent of such ideologies,” he cautioned.

“Those involved are urged to repent sincerely,” he said in a statement posted on the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) Facebook page today.

Nooh added that the decision was reached during a committee meeting held from Sept  24 to 26, specifically addressing the teachings of Mhd Mohib Khouli Nazem.

In addition, he emphasised that Muslims must adhere to the ASWJ principles in creed, based on the methodologies of Asy'ari and Maturidi; in syariah, guided by the Shafi'i school of thought as well as other recognised schools such as Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali.

“In terms of Sufism or ethics, they should follow the methodologies of Imam al-Junaid, Imam al-Ghazali, and other authentic and recognised Sufi practices,” he said.

He also urged state Islamic authorities and related agencies to take measures to prohibit the teachings of Mhd Mohib Khouli Nazem as these teachings threaten the faith of Muslims and disrupt societal unity and harmony. 

He said JAKIM, as the coordinating body, had submitted a legal opinion on the matter to the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, in his capacity as Chairman of MKI. The matter was subsequently presented at the 267th Conference of Rulers on Oct  23 and 24.

“The Conference of Rulers has acknowledged the legal opinion, and state authorities may consider this decision to gazette fatwas in their respective states,” Nooh said.
