Kenyataan Hadi dipetik di luar konteks, kata pejabat presiden PAS

Yesterday, PAS President Hadi Awang was quoted as stating that political predictions were made based on factors such as sin and reward compared to non-Muslims he accused of being 'wicked'. According to his office, the statement by Hadi aimed to explain politics within Islam based on considerations of sin and reward, leading to the administration of justice and ensuring rights for non-Muslim citizens.

"My office is dismayed by the news media narrative that may cause misunderstanding among the public and reject any sentiments of communalism being played around ahead of the PRN Melaka polls," said a statement. Last night, an online news portal reported Hadi saying that political predictions were made based on factors such as sin and reward compared to non-Muslims he accused of being 'wicked'.

He made this remark during a campaign rally in Bukit Katil ahead of the PRN Melaka election, stating that if Muslims rule the country, they would not be wicked to non-Muslims. However, he claimed that if Muslims do not vote, others will rule and act based on their assumptions alone, disregarding Allah's trust. Following this, the Deputy Secretary-General of Pakatan Harapan (PH) Saifuddin Nasution Ismail commented on Hadi's statement today, saying that religion should be the basis of community unity, not a sentiment to divide the people.

He added that Islam becomes noble through justice, morality, knowledge, trust, and exemplary leadership, rather than by lowering other religions. He further stated that Hadi's statement was highly criticized because it placed measures of justice and wickedness based on one's religion.
