Muslims become infidels if they let others use 'Allah'

Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria today reminded Muslims in the country that they will become infidels if they allow non-Muslims to use the word 'Allah'. 

He explained that if the Muslims allowed the word Allah to be used by non-Muslims, it meant that they condoned the acts of the non-Muslims to associate Allah with lesser beings.

"Thus, this consent also makes us (Muslims) to be infidels. We must be united in defending our faith," he told reporters after the official opening of the Damara Care and Herbs Sdn Bhd office in Ipoh today.

"We cannot accept and compromise with those who associate Allah with lesser beings," he said.

He called on the parties concerned to stop suggesting the use of the word 'Allah' in the Malay version of the Bible because this would challenge the patience of Muslims in the country.
