REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BOGOR - Two teenagers out of 23 asylum seekers from Rohingya who got away from a shelter in Bogor surrender themselves to Bogor immigration office. Both of them, Ibrahim (16 years) and Rofik (17 years), said that they were separated from the other 21 who would seek political shelter in Australia.

"We didn't know where to go. We prefer to surrender," Rofik said. But, Rofik emphasized that he did not want to be repatriated to his country. The immigration officer, I Gede, said that the 21 Rohingya immigrants were now in Ciamis. "They probably continue to Pangandaran, then to Australia," he said.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْ حَاۤجَّ اِبْرٰهٖمَ فِيْ رَبِّهٖٓ اَنْ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَ ۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۙ قَالَ اَنَا۠ اُحْيٖ وَاُمِيْتُ ۗ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْتِيْ بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۚ
Tidakkah kamu memperhatikan orang yang mendebat Ibrahim mengenai Tuhannya, karena Allah telah memberinya kerajaan (kekuasaan). Ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Tuhanku ialah Yang menghidupkan dan mematikan,” dia berkata, “Aku pun dapat menghidupkan dan mematikan.” Ibrahim berkata, “Allah menerbitkan matahari dari timur, maka terbitkanlah ia dari barat.” Maka bingunglah orang yang kafir itu. Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang zalim.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 258)
