DISCLAIMER: PURELY FICTIONAL. NOT BASED ON REAL EVENTS.
Please! Please forgive me.
Please tell Walid to forgive me.
I know I was reckless and wrong.
Forgive me for letting jealousy taking over me.
I will convey your message.
But for now, just follow Walid's orders.
Serve your punishment for now.
When I get new orders from Walid to set you free,
I will inform you.
But for now,
I have to lock you up.
Please! I don't want to be far from Walid.
-Give me my phone! -This is a punishment!
Enough! Bring her to the room.
I want to call my husband!
I don't want to be here!
Mobile phone is prohibited!
No one can see you…
while you serve your punishment.
Got it?
BROKEN HEAVEN
I don't agree!
Why must she live here?
It's not like she's homeless!
I seek forgiveness from God.
What's the matter?
Our goal is to grow this community.
Why are you so full of jealousy?
I'm not jealous. I just don't like it.
Even before anything starts,
her mother is all set on marrying her off to the followers.
Is she here to seek knowledge or a husband?
It doesn’t matter what her intentions are.
But for us, we welcome everyone with open arms…
to those seeking God's knowledge,
and wishing to be closer to God.
That's our jihad.
You shouldn't take her in.
She may come to seek knowledge, but she cannot move in here.
You should try to assume good things.
We welcome everyone with open arms…
because we are helping those who seek to gain knowledge of God.
Many things here don't feel right to me, Dad.
What is that?
I don't quite agree…
with this forced marriage system.
The girls are just 16 years old,
and haven't even finish their school.
They are forced to be the third and fourth wife of the followers.
They are not forced.
It is a way to shield them from vice.
Which one is worse?
A lawful marriage or letting them commit adultery?
The moral state of Muslims in this era is deteriorating.
Women have lost their sense of shame.
Social interactions are everywhere.
Adultery is rampant.
That is why Jihad Community exists.
We are leading them back to the true way of Islam.
By practicing polygamy?
Right, Dad?
Where is the goodness…
of the Al-Kawthar well?
Hambali,
open the Quran and study Al-Kahfi carefully…
about Prophet Musa's journey when he met Prophet Khidr to become his disciple.
When Prophet Musa asked…
Prophet Khidr,
what did he answer?
"You will certainly not be able…"
"to endure patience with me."
"And how can you bear patience…"
"over something that you have no knowledge of?"
Religion…
isn't about logic.
Do not question…
what is beyond the reach of the mind.
-Mom. -Yes?
I've made my decision.
I will work in Jihad Community.
Praise be to God. Oh, God.
You've guide my child's heart.
Praise be to God.
I've also meet Walid.
Really? Why didn't you tell me?
I just want to surprise you.
Walid agreed. He accepted me working there.
See?
I told you.
Even though you've acted rude towards him,
he still accepts you.
That is his greatness.
Tell me how can I hate him.
But still, I think…
it's better if we move in there.
It'll be easier for you to attend Walid's classes.
It's a hassle to go back and forth.
Also, Dad is no longer with us.
You won't have the time to think about Dad there.
Praise be to God.
God's willing and blessed is God.
Is this true?
Where is he?
He always shows up late on my night.
Peace be upon you.
And unto you be peace.
You are late today.
We have some new followers.
It's necessary to guide them,
for they are voided,
and still far from God.
I need to fill the void within them.
I need to explain our rules and regulations…
so they don't break it.
Are you talking about those girls?
Walid,
when will Habibah come home?
He goes to Rabiatul's room again.
I strongly disagree with your decision.
Is there no other way?
Why would you risk your life by surrendering…
into a pit full of crocodiles?
Because I need my mom to witness for herself…
all the immoral acts happening inside there.
You know, she won't listen to anything now.
Hopefully,
when she live and see for herself,
she will volunteer to get out of there.
That's if she see it.
What if she doesn't?
Let's go.
JIHAD COMMUNITY
Peace be upon you.
And unto you be peace.
-Is this bath water again? -Yes, you are right.
We have initiation night this week.
A lot of the followers will drink it later.
According to Walid, we have some new follower…
from Kelantan and Terengganu…
who will be joining us.
I seek forgiveness from God.
This is all deviation.
What are you talking about?
Remember the God, Hambali!
Who taught that…
drinking from a bath water can bring us blessing?
You all are being ridiculous.
If you have the courage,
tell that to Walid yourself.
I am disgusted of Ustaz Nazim's face.
I can't stand him! He's old, full of lust!
He only think of satisfying himself!
I seek forgiveness from God!
Remember God, Maisarah!
You are talking without thinking.
As a wife,
it is your responsibility…
to meet your husband's needs.
That is the most important thing.
I have never agree to marry him.
You can't write your own fate, Maisarah.
That's God work.
God has chosen him for you.
There must be a reason…
for him to become your husband.
God wants you to carry out a role.
Because God and His Messenger…
are not for your lust.
What are you searching for…
in Jihad Community?
The love of God…
or the love of lust?
I really can't stand it anymore!
I've had enough and I don't care!
I…
The Messenger of God said,
a woman who asks for a divorce from her husband without reason…
will be forbidden even from the scent of heaven.
Are you ready to tell God…
that you are asking for a divorce just because your husband is old,
while he dedicates his life…
to religious duties?
He can lead you to heaven.
The blessings in your life…
lies in having a husband like him.
Please, Ummi! I can't stand it anymore.
He is your heaven.
Don't let him go.
Have you forgotten what Walid has taught you?
To obey,
be sincere,
and accept fate.
It is my duty to remind our followers…
that we are living at the end of times.
It's the time for us to unite…
and prepare to battle dajjal.
The youth of this community are engrossed in worldly affairs…
and seeking pleasures.
Walid,
I think we need to strengthen our hudud laws.
You are right.
They will definitely scared of that.
Through my dreams,
dajjal will surely attack our country because they know…
Imam Mahdi…
is at our country.
That is why The Messenger of God…
have reminded…
in my dreams.
He wants us to unite.
We have to unite the Muslims of Archipelago to become stronger.
Okay, dear.
Just pray for my safety.
Why must he go so far?
I…
I feel…
something bad is happening.
Why…
Why must he go all the way to London?
Why can't he preach in Malaysia?
I think from now on…
you have to be ready to be divorced.
That's enough.
You can bear this.
You have to be strong.
You have to be strong, Chah.
You must be strong.
No.
-I'm not strong enough! -You are.
THE PURPOSE OF STRUGGLE
Praise be to God.
Kalsum, God have given the most precious gift to you,
and Baiduri…
to be together with us in Jihad Community…
for the purpose of ending our life…
with the blessing of Walid Muhammad Mahdi Ilman.
Amen.
God has guided your heart…
to witness the truth of the end times.
Walid is the incarnation Imam Mahdi…
that lead the humans…
to the righteous path.
You've turned away from the evil out there…
in the pursue of God and His Messenger.
Praise be to God, Ummi Rabiatul.
This is all thanks to Walid's teachings.
Each follower is obliged to read…
and comprehend Walid's books,
to make you understand his purpose.
Also, to learn the knowledge in the books…
about the way of our living.
God's willing.
I will finish these books as soon as possible.
One more thing.
There are laws in Jihad Community.
Whoever that choose to live here,
is obliged to obey Walid…
and the leaders of this community.
But, you must also…
follow the laws in Jihad Community.
Is that man's law or God's law?
It is man's law based on God's rulings.
The man's law are far astray.
Walid wants to bring back God's rulings to The Messenger's people…
instead of the man's law.
This is because the God's rulings…
will lead to the scales of the afterlife.
Praise be to God.
I can imagine our empire growing in the new place.
And from there,
we will have more followers.
We can't just wait for it to come.
Starting now, we must find more people to join us.
We are running out of time.
Our struggle is the continuation of The Messenger's struggle.
There's no time to waste any longer.
God has willed it.
They are already moving in.
Praise be to God.
We will soon have a new female leader.
Baiduri is moving in with her mom.
When is it?
Just now!
Why does she have to move in?
It's not like she's homeless.
I guess she's participating…
in Walid's Monthly Book Program?
I'm fine if she's taking knowledge from Walid's books.
But not taking Walid from me!
I should be the one worried…
since my husband still has plenty of empty slots for wife.
You can take a breather since Walid already has four wives.
It is, but the thing is…
Habibah hasn't returned yet.
I don't have the details of her punishment.
There's no news of her.
I'm afraid she may never return and will be replaced by someone else.
I seek forgiveness from God. Remember God, Masyitah!
You are assuming bad about Walid.
What if you face retribution?
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
Oh God…
Soften my husband's heart to accept me back.
I love my husband.
Don't let us be apart.
I wasn't aware.
Forgive me.
Reunite us with Your loving and affectionate names.
Help me.
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
There is no deity except You, exalted are You.
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
Oh God, I appeal through Walid Muhammad Mahdi Ilman.
My Imam.
The Imam whom You assigned to guide me towards You.
Oh God, Your Messenger…
and Walid…
Muhammad Mahdi Ilman?
Bestow upon me the intercession of Your world,
sustenance from Your earth,
and strong faith from the blessings of my guide…
I seek forgiveness from God.
Sometimes…
before we even explore…
the hundreds…
of books on Islamic law,
and islamic discplinary composed by revered scholars,
are truly taken from the sacred books and the Prophet's hadiths.
But still,
we hastily deem the teachings as misguided.
Religion is beyond reason and logic.
-Dad, I… -I can read what's on your mind.
My aim is only to interpret both the literal and the subtle messages…
of this book.
Hambali, don't let your knowledge make you conceited.
Knowledge alone is nothing without experience.
You will not find God if you worship yourself.
Malamatiyya…
is someone who doesn't harbor evil in their heart,
but doesn't show any goodness either.
Understand and embrace all that.
-Mom. -Yes?
I have something to remind you.
Don try to do anything nonsense later.
Gosh!
What will I do?
Drinking that foot water is ridiculous!
The initiation night tonight,
I'm sure they will do something.
Don't just blindly follow their action.
Mom, God has granted us the wisdom to think clearly.
The Messenger instructed…
to live according to the Quran…
and the Sunnah for our guidance.
We don't have to do things that's not stated in the Quran.
It's so difficult to talk with someone who is overly intelligent.
Mom, I'm not someone who is overly intelligent.
I just disagree with the practices of taking blessings.
Even the name is initiation night.
I wonder what they'll do tonight…
to influence us under the guise of blessings.
I seek forgiveness from God!
Let's go.
Hold on, I forgot my prayer beads.
Peace be upon you.
And unto you be peace.
-Baiduri. -Yes, that's me.
Ummi asked me to inform you…
that there will be an appointment ceremony tonight.
What kind of appointment ceremony?
Why do I focus on the Malay World?
Because the Malay history itself is capable…
to enhance a Malay's self-identity towards greatness.
It's to honor,
and practice self-identity.
What are the greatness of Malay?
There are three key elements in the pillar system of Melaka's governance…
that define its greatness.
The elements are…
the king, officials,
and its people, bound by the concept of sovereignty,
divine retribution, obedience, and defiance.
That is why I want to combine the Malay,
and Islamic system…
in our struggle today.
Where lies the strength of the Malay system?
It lies in the obedience of the people to the king,
and the king's obedience to Islam and the entire system.
I want to revive the princesses who served…
as the pillars of faith and the nation in those days.
This appointment is made based on…
the attributes of the person I'm choosing tonight.
Ummi Hafizah…
is surely the Queen.
Dewi as Princess Balqis.
Mia as Princess of Mount Jerai.
Syira as Tun Teja.
Seri as Tun Fatimah.
And the leader of these princesses is…
Baiduri,
as the Princess of Mount Ledang.
A princess is incomplete without a prince.
Amar,
as Hang Jebat.
Sofyan,
as Hang Lekiu.
Darmis,
as Hang Kasturi.
Ghani,
as Hang Lekir.
And Hambali…
as Hang Tuah.
Abi,
as Grand Vizier.
Sheikh Rahman,
as Grand Attendant.
Sheikh Amin,
as Grand Narrator.
And Sheikh Syuhaimi,
as Grand Sage.
Sarina,
as Melur, the head maiden!
And I am…
King Muhammad Mahdi Ilman,
the King of the Archipelago in this era!
Long live the King.
-Long live the King. -Long live the King.
Walid!
-Let me go! -Shut up.
Forgive me.
We found Hasnul and Khatijah…
alone together at the hut in the back.
TO BE CONTINUED…
BROKEN HEAVEN
Am I considered a disobedient child…
if I go against my own father?
Are you implying that God's punishment is wrong?
Stoning is not necessary!
That's not our country's law!
But those are the laws of Islam.
What is the purpose?
To kill the satan within them, Walid.
