Entering heaven is by Allah’s mercy, not party support, says Mujahid

The Amanah deputy president slams 'baseless' claim that joining or voting for PAS could lead one to heaven.

Entering heaven is by Allah’s mercy, not party support, says Mujahid

Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa stated that entry into heaven is determined by Allah's mercy, not by backing a specific political party. In response to PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan's assertion that joining PAS could lead to heaven, Mujahid questioned the association of a political struggle with Allah's mercy.

He accused PAS of narrowing the concept of Allah's mercy by linking it to party support and called for authorities to take action if the remarks were deemed insulting or exploitative of the religion. Takiyuddin had previously claimed that sacrificing one's life while defending Islam would result in a martyr status, divine blessings, and entry into heaven.

Mujahid emphasized that PAS's struggle was rooted in Islam and aligned with Allah's teachings, and that the party had garnered support from over one million members and potential supporters.
