THE NEW BOOK OF GENESIS (THE FINAL CHAPTER)

12. The Eternal Judgment.


The judgment of The Honourable Syari'ah High Court Judge, Datuk Paduka Dr. Haji Awaluddin compiled in one hundred and thirty pages had really opened his heart and soul. By now he had already realized that he was a victim of his own uninhibited mind. Apparently, all this while he was foolishly obsessed with doubtful thoughts, the kind of doubt that Satan showed his disrespect against the more exalted Adam. Satan refused to prostrate before Adam and the refusal was due to his assumption that he was superior to Adam. The first being to adopt assumption and presumption was Satan, who then kept trying hard to sway future human discreetly to follow his paths. The assumption and presumption were based on zann[1] as mentioned by the Paduka Judge. Satan presumed that as his essence was made of fire, he was definitely superior to Adam, whose essence was from soil. It was the soil that fashioned Adam as the truly First Man, none other than him. All were presented in the judgment that touched his heart and soul.

Dr. Wan Rahman also realized that how fragile was the iman of an intellectual who pondered relentlessly in the abyss of mind, travelling freely without the guidance and direction from the al-Hadi. The one he explored was purely the knowledge of ain-al yaqin[2], which was based on empirical observation but not the valid knowledge of total conviction haqq-al yaqin.[3]

Datuk Paduka Haji Awaluddin in his judgment, in a considerable length he stressed on the concept of haqq and batil. He also explained in great details, which parts of The Chronicle of Neo-genesis were considered as haqq and which parts were batil. No wonder it took him more than two hours to read the entire judgment.

It was an unpredictable surprise, the mental voyage through theta waves and hyperendorphinism ended with a catastrophe that almost sacrificed his iman when vagabonds of ghafala[4] had succeeded to control his thoughts to writing of The Chronicle of Neo-genesis and The New Book of Genesis. After being deviated to follow the zann, which was coerced by Satan and he repented for his grave mistake; he now wanted to embrace the unison of total knowledge and iman as practised in accordance to the precepts of Allah. Longing to the original fikir and zikir, he was ready to discard old habits of combining various approaches of meditation techniques. In the past, he had tried the secularised meditation technique developed in the West to the traditional meditation of the Orient. In fingers' movements of gyan mudra, he breathed fire in the mantra of Kirtan Kirya or in deep samadhi like the practices of rishi and sadhu, he was drowned with beta-endorphin but the promising sutras had never come to reality. On the contrary, he had to appear before the Syri’ah High Court to face the music. Seemingly, after a much focused listening to the judgment, he then realized that all the images in his lucid dreams from one night to another were merely manifestations of ghafala and hawa[5], which deviates him to the valley of falsehood and fallacy.

Datuk Paduka Dr. Haji Awaluddin also explained the fault of Dr Wan, who tried to use rational and logical approaches as a result of his secular education, inspired by Greek civilization to solve the confused state of his mind but unfortunately he mistakenly equated Sufism with practical meditation and samadhi through the production of brain chemicals. In Sufism, according to the Paduka Judge, it was free from rational spirit because through dhikr and huda[6], all internal impurity would be cleansed to a stage of divinity in which a Sufist was able to become a pure essence that transcended to the realm of The Most Exalted.

The noble judgment of Paduka Judge was more concerned to educate rather than to punish. In unprecedented move, The Syri’ah High Court Judge instructed Dr. Wan Rahman to undergo a special religious re-education course for a full year, hoping the essence of The Al-Hadi[7] would lead him to spiritual guidance of The Right Path. The course would be conducted by a senior scholar of Islamic Study at University Malaya. The Islamic re-education programme was intended to be more rehabilitative and corrective. Datuk Paduka Dr. Haji Awaluddin rejected the request of Syarie Prosecutor to impose a punitive action amounting a penalty of three thousand ringgit and two years jail as an exemplary punishment to deter others from writing any discourse that could jeopardise the status of one’s ‘aqidah.

According to the Syari’ah High Court Judge, the punishment was just and fair as the offence committed was for the first time. It was a mitigating factor besides the defendant was remorseful of his fault and looking forwards to repent. While undergoing corrective re-learning and re-thinking of Islamic basic values, Dr. Wan would restore his ‘aqidah under close supervision of an academic ulama, who would be Dr. Wan’s new role model to substitute the shadow of mystical Guru that might reappear in his lucid dream. The ulama who was a professor would make a detailed report to the Honourable Syri’ah High Court Judge, Federal Territories.
Obviously, the punishment announced by Paduka Judge had angered Mr. Amir. He had no choice but to suppress it anyway because if he challenged the verdict and submitted an appeal to the Syari’ah Appeal Court, he would put his career at risk. He was comfortably pleased to be in Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur. He was not ready to work in Labuan, as his wife was a true KLite. Two days away from KL, she felt like loosing civilization. His decision of not filing an appeal was nothing to do with hearsay that a notice of his transfer to Labuan Federal Territory was underway. He understood that MAIWP versus Wan Rahman had attracted the world’s attention especially the international media. He realized that there must be a lot of international pressure from NGOs toward the justice process of the case by publishing imbalanced media coverage in print as well in electronics.

However at eleven hours of the Court session, the Syarie Prosecutor had created commotion as there were heated argument between Mr. Amir and Mr. Lim. Again in unprecedented move by the Syarie prosecutor had requested the Court to declare that the royalty received from the sale of the New Book of Genesis as haram[8]. With a calm composure and lots of self-controlled, the Paduka Judge Dr. Haji Awaluddin reminded the Syarie Prosecutor to go through the official paper that the original indictment was over and the motion was related to sideline's issue. In spite of his displeasure of the matter that was brought before him after his judgment, The Honourable Paduka Judge considered royalty derived from the sale of The New Book of Genesis was a syubhah[9]. The Syari'ah High Court Judge gave an example of the Muslim workers who worked in a wine factory or the hotel personnel who served wine to guests, their incomes could not be considered as haram but syubhah. The same ruling had to be applied to authorities, that were alleged secular or alleged fundamental that collected various taxes based upon the sale of wine and alcoholic beverages, thus the ruling of syubhah should be taken into account in utilizing money received from the taxes of illegal activities according to Islamic Syari’ah Laws. It was also applied to The New Book of Genesis, which he declared banned in Malaysia but the royalty received by the defendant from the sale of the New Book of Genesis could not be considered haram but syubhah. You could buy anything with the money except things that could be consumed and converted into the essence of your body. This issue must be tackled urgently according to the precepts of Islam, as allowing the issue hanging would cast doubts in public. If the Syarie Prosecutor was not happy, said the Paduka Judge, he could bring the matter to any Syari’ah Court except the court in which he would be the hearing Judge.

To Dr. Wan, on contrary, the judgment brought new light in his re-birth as a true Muslim with the illumination of Islamic Nur that wholly filled his heart. With His blessing, the enlightenment of the iman in his qalb[10] would be endowed with the divine teachings and precepts of the God Al-Mighty. To be a seer and a wisdom seeker, he would be well-versed in nafsu lawamah[11] inside his fu’ad,[12] which radiated the light of ma’rifah. As a muwahhid[13], his intellect now and soon, would always reflect the light of tauheed from the Kingdom of The Magnificent God, Al-Ghaffaru.[14]

As a Muslim who successfully repented with the blessings of At-Tawwab[15] and Al-Halim[16], he had returned to the Quranic knowledge and teachings, which rejected ghafala and hawa as advised by the Syari’ah High Court Judge. The Paduka Judge had also advised him to immediately stop the practice of subhaniyyah ala rishi and sadhu and to purify his past knowledge, which had shaped the deviated thought, hence through dhikr[17] and huda, his intellect be bestowed with the guiding Nur from Allah, Al-Mu’mini[18] and Ar-Rashidi.[19]

Though The New Book of Genesis was banned however The Chronicle of Neo-genesis escaped banning. This was due to the deletion of all praises of Allah and its ninety-nine Attributes by the foreign publisher which was initially added by Professor Jaafar Sulong as the mentor of the project, jointly organised by USM and DBP. In view of the novel was a creative fiction based on raib[20], ghafala[21] and nisyan[22], the state of absent-mindedness during dreams was a winning argument put forward by the defence lawyer, adopted by the Paduka Judge, had been endorsed as the basis of the final judgment. The Paduka Judge regarded the novelist had been totally confused with the images registered while experiencing transcendence ala non-Quranic and in the process of writing, the novelist had put his aqidah in question but since the offence was his first and he was serious to repent under supervision, the Paduka Judge was in favour of the defence lawyer’s submission. Nevertheless, the actual basis of the Paduka Judge to finalize his judgment was referred to Allah Al-Hakimi[23] and Al-Hakami[24] Who had illuminated the Syri’ah Judge’s qalb with the essence of Al-‘Adl [25]during his prayers and at the same time brought him to total closeness to the Magnificence of Allah, The Al-Majidi[26].

Finally, at the end of his judgment, The Honourable Syari’ah High Court Judge, Datuk Paduka Dr. Haji Awaluddin had sentenced the defendant to undergo Istitabah, in the blessing that his repentance would be accepted by Allah, The At-Tawwabi as He, The Al-Ghaffar and Al-‘Afuw[27] would accept those who were truly fear of Allah in undisputed taqwa. For the acceptance, he was grateful to Him, The Ash-Shakur[28] and he could clearly see the eternal judgment of As-Samad[29].

  1. In your 'sci fi' You manage to blend the 'sublime' and the 'profane': Great work indeed! A great ending.

    But ironically you would not be able to sell this novel because our people like nothing better than to read 'Kosmo' or 'URTV' etc etc .
