Kingdom of Heaven

-

The Kingdom of Heaven (Malay: Kerajaan Langit, English: Sky Kingdom) - a religious community founded in the mid 1980s. Almost 25 years ago, Ayah Pin, actually Ariffin Mohammed, also known as Father Pin, now a 65-year-old Malaysian Muslim, founded a religious group claiming peculiar belief in the Kingdom of Heaven. It linked elements of Islam and several other religions. Hinduism and Buddhism, with its own imagery about God and salvation. At that time, the sect was able to raise more than a thousand followers, including Muslims, which is unacceptable for the orthodox believers in Islam and is considered treachery punishable by death.

The sect, in addition to state control, developed until 1998, when it was opened in Batu, Terengganu, on the eastern coast of the country, its followers opened the main center of worship. It was a kind of Disneyland-style theme park: with cottages in the form of an umbrella, classic columns, and in the middle were huge kettles and next to it - just as big a blue cup. Ayah Pin began to convert the faith of the villagers and foreigners in this way. In the photo visible large teapot and vase before demolition, Ariffin Mohamed in the plan

The kettle, symbolizing the refilling of mankind by peace and the blessing of the heavens, has become the object of worship. "I died at the age of 10 and I was born 40 days later, and since then I have died and I have been born again 17 times," said the creator of the new religion. As a peasant and illiterate, he was told that he had different views in a dream. One of his disciples explained that Father Pin is the embodiment of all deities: Shiva, Buddha, Christ and the Prophet Muhammad.

July 30, 2007 the bulldozers destroyed the object of worship, and at the same time the authorities have banned the existence of this religious community. The property of the sect was not left. About a thousand of her followers are now hiding in the country. The creator disappeared, leaving 4 wives and 22 children.
