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