Ustaz Ishak baharom Pass away

Dato Hj Ishak Baharom dalam kenangan




The Selangor Mufti

The former soft spoken and friendly
Mufti Dato Ishak Baharom is a legend that could not be easily forgotten
nor replaced. He shall go down in the annals of Selangor and Malaysian
history as the first and only Mufti who was terminated for upholding the true teachings of Islam.

Keberanian Dato Ishak dalam
menegakkan kebenaran walaupun terpaksa menanggung risiko yang tinggi.
Salah satunya adalah semasa keluar dalam program popular ketika itu
Forum Perdana Ehwal Islam.


Once during a forum
in Bangi the moderator, Dr Hasan Ali, posed a question to all the
panelists on their views regarding those who belittle and make fun of
the Hudud Laws. Dato Hj Ishak being one of the panelists without any
hesitation applying the Quran and Sunnah, labelled these groups as
murtad in the first instance. Another panelist, Dr Harun Din later
remarked that never in his personal experience has he heard a daring
and straight forward remark ever been given by any Mufti in Malaysia.


Dato Ishak ketika itu telah dipecat
walaupun kerajaan negeri sebenarnya baru sahaja memperbaharui
kontraknya untuk satu penggal yang baru. Alasan yang diberikan kononnya
faktor usia.


In one ceramah in
Subang Airport Mosque he revealed that his contract did expire but it
was renewed earlier on for another term and if age factor was the
reason, then there are a few more Muftis who should also be asked to
leave. A Mufti in one state is almost 80.



Right now Selangor
has lost the services of a noble and distinguished aleem. Though Dato
Hj Ishak might no longer be the Mufti officially, in the eyes of the
rakyat in Selangor and deep in the hearts of many- he shall always
remain one.


Semalam pada 21Muharam 1429 H bersamaan 30Jan 2008 Masehi kira-kira jam 3.00 petang,

Dato Hj Ishak Baharom telah pulang ke rahmatullah pada usia 80 tahun akibat komplikasi tekanan darah.


Semoga Allah swt mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh ulamak besar ini.....Amin,
