The Ahl Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah (ASWJ) is a majority Muslim group who was promised by the Prophet Muhammad SAW as a group that is going to be safe from hellfire. In Malaysia, the definition of ASWJ has been embedded in various written laws such as in several acts, enactments, fatwa, and others. According to research, only six states interpret ASWJ exclusively as al-Ashʿarī and al-Māturīdī, whereas seven states mention the Shāfiʿī school without stating any theological adherence, and one state does not specify its theological and jurisprudence schools entirely. The threat to the ASWJ’s belief is the takfīr attitude (accusing someone as a disbeliever) which is currently deemed a crime in Islamic law in all states in Malaysia.
