'Religious figures teaming up with tyrants to change religion of Allah'

 

PAS MUKTAMAR | PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang claimed that there is a group of religious people who are working alongside “cruel” leaders who have changed the religion of Allah and created their own.

He made the unsubstantiated and controversial claim in his speech at the 70th PAS muktamar at Al-Makmur Complex, Kerdau, Temerloh.

The Marang MP claimed that these people have abandoned Allah's guidance and created their own rules beyond the capabilities of their imperfect intellect, thus violating the boundaries of Allah's nature.

"In fact, there are also those who create ideologies and theories in matters that Allah does not allow because they are beyond human ability.

"We are witnessing the emergence of liars becoming leaders, traitors being trusted, and the ignorant pretending to know," he said.

Without naming names, he added that this was even more impactful when carried out by those who lead the country.

Therefore, he said reflection is needed on this country as it is waiting its turn to be destroyed.

According to him, all obstacles have failed to block PAS’ progress so far.

“Until now, we are the party with the most seats in Parliament and the state assemblies, controlling four state governments and almost capturing two more states, in addition to having representatives in almost all states,” he said.

‘Like the hypocrites of Medina’

Hadi said Muslims are moving forward and have succeeded in making Islam the state religion, as well as creating a Malay identity that does not separate itself from Islam.

He went on to compare the federal coalition government to the hypocrites in the early days of Islam in Medina.

He claimed that this was one of the challenges his party went through, such as economic and administrative sanctions through the seizing resources in states governed by PAS.

“Among them, such as cancelling Terengganu’s petroleum royalty and denying Kelantan state rights, to preventing victory through legitimate democracy and denying provisions for the opposition.

“All this seems to continue the agenda like the hypocrites in the early days of Islam in Medina,” he said.

Hadi also emphasised how the spirit of “economic federalism” should be respected and all forms of obstruction should be broken.

“This is the source of the state’s revenue and the potential of human resources that can be utilised, then the wealth of the country can be enjoyed together,” he said.

Islamophobes blocking syariah law

Hadi said that PAS was also making efforts to bring Islamic solutions in matters such as the implementation of the ban on gambling and alcohol.

He claimed that efforts to implement syariah law were being disrupted because there were parties who spread Islamophobia to intimidate people against Islam.

“This approach was once carried out by the enemies of Islam in the early days of Islam who rejected God’s guidance because they did not believe or doubted the truth and promises of God, even though the leaders of Mecca knew the truth of the prophet of the last days, his wisdom and noble character.

“Therefore, it is the duty of Muslims, especially practitioners and legislators, to defend and dignify syariah law instead of obstructing, let alone insulting it,” said Hadi.
