KUALA LUMPUR ― The Shah Alam High Court decided today that the Shariah Court has no jurisdiction over members of the Ahmadiyya community, as the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) has refused to recognise the Muslim sect as adherents.

The Ahmadiyya community’s spokesman Ainul Yakin M. Zain confirmed the decision to Malay Mail, following a lengthy judicial review after 39 Ahmadis were arrested by Jais in 2014.

“Thank Allah, the Malaysian court has held to justice and given proper justice to the Ahmadiyya community on this historic day,” the community said in a statement.

The Ahmadis were seeking a judicial review following Jais’ arrest of its community members — which included eight Pakistani asylum seekers, two Indian nationals, one Indonesian and three minors — on April 11, 2014 for performing Friday prayers in a place that was not a mosque.
