“The death took place at Jenderam on Sunday, the 11th instant, at about 5 a.m. of Tuan Haji Abdul Hamid, Kathi of Kuala Lumpur. Tuan Haji Abdul Hamid, at the request of the Malayan community of Jenderam, went there last Saturday evening to deliver a lecture on Islamic teachings. He did not appear to be ill until 5 a.m. when, after his morning prayer, he complained of severe coughing and a few minutes later he passed away peacefully. Tuan Haji Abdul Hamid had been suffering from consumption for the last two years and his death is said to be due to his ailment. His body was taken to Kuala Lumpur on Sunday morning. The funeral, which was attended by about 400 persons, took place on the same day from his residence No. 3 Gombak Lane, and his body was finally buried at Gonggang Cemetery. He leaves a widow and two brothers to mourn his loss. By the death of Tuan Haji Abdul Hamid, says the Malay Mail, the Malay community of Kuala Lumpur has lost an able Guru whose teachings were highly appreciated. During his five years' office in the Kathiship he had removed a great deal of misconceptions and misrepresentations interpolated as Islamic teachings by several so-called teachers of Islamic religion.” (Malaya Tribune, 15 February 1923, Page 5: "DEATH OF A KATHI"; The Straits Echo (Mail Edition), 20 February 1923, Page 185: |"M.A.P.").

“Pada tahun 1927 kes dan isu Kaum Muda di Jenderam ini telah dibawa ke Mahkamah Syariah Klang dan juga ke Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur. Tuan Guru Hj. Jalaluddin Ismail, Hj. Abdullah Hussin dan beberapa pengajar dan pengikutnya yang mendirikan Madrasatul Ubudiah pada tahun 1922 sebagai pusat pengajian agama secara sistematik yang menggabungkan sukatan pengajian daripada Sumatera dan Mesir di Jenderam, telah didakwa di mahkamah oleh Pejabat Agama Selangor sebagai membawa fahaman dan pendekatan yang menyimpang dan bertentangan dengan Mazhab Shafie yang diamalkan di negeri ini.

Kes ini asalnya diadukan oleh seorang ahli jemaah yang telah dipecat oleh Tuan Guru Jalaluddin atas sebab menyelewengkan wang tabung pentadbiran dan kebajikan kampung ini semasa ketiadaannya yang semasa itu pergi menunaikan ibadah Haji di Mekah. Akibat malu dan sakit hati bekas ahli jemaah itu membuat aduan kepada Pejabat Agama Selangor tentang fahaman reformis Kaum Muda di Madrasah itu. Namun penduduk Jenderam bersatu hati dan berdiri teguh mempertahankan tuan - tuan guru mereka dan Madrasatul Ubudiah atas tuduhan dan bersedia mempertahankan kebenaran dan hak mereka di Mahkamah.

Perbicaraan yang bermula di Mahkamah Syariah Klang tidak dapat diselesaikan sepenuhnya, Putera Sultan Selangor dan Putera Sultan Langkat turut serta hadir dalam mendengar perbicaraan tersebut dan terlibat dalam memberi pandangan dalam kes ini. Kes yang tidak selesai itu kemudiannya telah dibawa pula ke Mahkamah Tinggi, Kuala Lumpur. Perbicaraan telah berlangsung selama 14 hari, ramai pendokong dan penyokong gerakan reformis Kaum Muda hadir termasuklah dari Singapura dan Pulau Pinang datang memberi sokongan moral dan kewangan kepada penduduk Jenderam. Peguam Tuan Malik telah mewakili Tuan Hj.Jalaluddin dan penduduk Jenderam manakala Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor diwakili oleh Tuan Evans. Setelah perbicaraan Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi memutuskan kes ini dibuang. Bagaimanapun Pejabat Penghulu Kajang telah meminta pemimpin - pemimpin Kaum Muda Jenderam memohon ampun pada Sultan Selangor walaupun mereka telah dibebaskan daripada kes dan tuduhan tersebut.

Setelah perbicaraan ini Tuan Hj.Jalaluddin merasa tidak lagi tenteram tinggal di Jenderam apatah lagi tauliah mengajarnya telah ditarik balik oleh Pejabat Agama Selangor. Dalam tahun yang sama beliau meninggalkan Jenderam dan merantau ke Pattani dan Madrasatul Ubudiah di teruskan oleh Tuan Guru Abdul Aziz Ahmad Khusasi dan Tuan Guru Pakeh Sempurna.”

“The Kuala Lumpur Supreme Court was packed with Malays from all parts of the State on Tuesday. when an action was begun before the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gompertz) in which Haji Jalaluddin Bin Ismail, a religious instructor, of Jendram, Ulu langat, brought an action against seven other Malays for publishing a libel against him. He claimed $3,250 as damages, and prayed for an injunction against the defendants restraining them from publishing similar libellous statements to that complained of. The plaintiff, who is a “guru,” imparting religious instruction to the people of Sungei Jendram, alleges that on December 15th., 1927, the defendants and others presented a petition to the Chief Kathi of the State of Selangor, which set out inter alia: “In the village of Sungei Jendram at the present time have sprung up the doctrines of 'Quam Mudå,' who are otherwise called the sect of 'Wahabis.' Their teacher who has taught those doctrines is Tuan Guru Haji Jalaluddin, together with all his friends.” It was also asserted that the plaintiff prayed without uttering the “Usalli,” and prohibited teaching of Talqueen to the dead and the praising of the Sultan during the sermon of the Friday prayers - meaning therefore that he was preaching unorthodox and heretical doctrines and imparting teaching calculated to foster feelings of disloyalty to the Sultan. An inquiry into the complaint was held by the Chief Kathi of Selangor, and after evidence had been recorded the complaint against the plaintiff was dismissed. As a consequence of the libellous statements, the plaintiff declares that he has been virtually excommunicated and has lost many pupils. The defence pleads denial, truth and justification, and privilege.” (The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 14 July 1928, Page 12: |"MALAY LIBEL ACTION").

“Guru Claims Damages. Allegations of Heresy and Unorthodoxy.

The Kuala Lumpur Supreme Court was packed with Malays from all parts of the State on Wednesday, when an action was begun before the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gompertz) in which Haji Jalaluddin Bin Ismail, a religious instructor, of Jendram, Uln Langat, brought an action against seven other Malays - Buyong alias Nicham, Haji Siam alias Haji Abdullah, Sura, Sarin, Kasat, Kahan and Mandok - for publishing a libel against him, says the Malay Mail. He claimed $3,250 as damages, and prayed for an injunction against the defendants restraining them from publishing similar libellous statements to that complained of. Mr. M. N. Maliik appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. F. B. Ivens for the defendants. The plaintiff, who is a “guru,” imparting religious instruction to the people of Sungei Jendram, alleges that on Dec. 15, 1927. the defendants and others presented a petition to the Chief Kathi of the State of Selangor, which set out inter alia: “In the village of Sungei Jendram at the present time have sprung up the doctrines of 'Quam (Kaum) Muda,' who are otherwise called the sect of 'Wababis.' Their teacher who has taught those doctrines is Tuan Guru Haji Jalaluddin, together with all his friends.” It was also asserted that the plaintiff prayed without uttering the “Usalli,” and prohibited teaching of Talqueen to the dead and the praising of the Sultan during the sermon of the Friday prayers - meaning therefore that he was preaching unorthodox and heretical doctrines and imparting teaching calculated to foster feelings of disloyalty to the Sultan. An inquiry into the complaint was held by the Chief Kathi of Selangor, and after evidence had been recorded the complaint against the plaintiff was dismissed. As a consequence of the libellous statements, the plaintiff declares that he has been virtually excommunicated and has lost many pupils. The defence pleads denial, truth and justification, and privilege.

Chief Kathi's Evidence.

The first witness called was the Chief Kathi of Selangor, who said that the plaintiff was appointed by him as a religious teacher at Sungei Jendram about five years ago. The witness had the power to appoint from H.H. the Sultan. The first occasion on which he had a doubt as to whether the plaintiff was discharging his duties satisfactorily was on his receiving the petition in December, 1927, and in February he held an inquiry. Twenty-three witnesses were examined. The decision recorded was that there was insufficient evidence to convict the plaintiff and revoke his authority as a teacher. Mr. Ivens pointed out that H.H. the Sultan had appointed a committee to investigate the case, and that as a result the plaintiff was dismissed. In reply to his Lordship, the witness stated that H.H. the Sultan appointed the Raja Muda, the late Dato Stia di Raja, the Raja Haji Abdullah and himself as the committee. In reply to Mr. Mallik the witness said that the decision was that the plaintiff should permitted to continue in his capacity as a teacher for six months. Further evidence was given regarding the difference between Sunni Mohammedans and Wahabis. A Sunni Mohammedan who acted like a “Wahabi,” the witness said, would be acting contrary to the religious rules in the country. It would be objectionable for a man to be termed a 'Wahabi' if he belonged to the Sunni sect. Yesterday morning the plaintiff was called and was subjected to examination by Mr. Mallik. The hearing is proceeding.”

“Judgment Given for the Defendants. … At the Supreme Court this morning the Chief Justice gave judgment in the famous Guru libel case in which Haji Jalaluddin Ismail (a religious teacher of Jendram, Ulu Langat) sued seven other Malays for publishing an alleged libel against him, claiming $3,200 damages, and prayed for an injunction rest®aining the defendants from publishing similar libellous statements. His Lordship (Mr. Justice Gomperty) in the course of a lengthy judgment found for the defendants. The question of costs is to be argued in chambers to-morrow.” (Malaya Tribune, 1 October 1928, Page 8: |"GURU LIBEL CASE").
