Controversies

Allah word issue

This particular issue tests the consensus of the ulema based party. Their top leaders for the likes of Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and Abdul Hadi Awang, was rooting for the word to be used by Malaysian Catholics in their Malay version of the Bible. Haron Din however, opposed this idea by saying that it is an abomination for permitting such action. This caused a split in PAS as Haron Din was deemed as a prominent Islamic scholar.[1] Haron Din stated that he did not agree to allow non-Muslim to use the word Allah.[2]
