PAS has signalled willingness to join a proposed grand coalition of Malay and Islamic-based parties, but only if it centres on a government following Allah’s commands.
Party president Abdul Hadi Awang drew from Prophet Muhammad’s leadership model. It promotes Malay-Muslim unity while multi-ethnic groups accept Islamic rule.
Rejects Compromised Unity
PAS rejects unity that ignores injustice and sins against Allah, roots of division.
The party stays out of the unity government. It lacks firm boundaries and embraces pluralism, liberalism, extremism, and moral lapses.
Such unity fails even within its ranks, let alone broader alliances. Hadi likened it to a sinking ship masquerading as grand unity.
Response to Umno Proposal
His comments replied to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s grand coalition idea at the 2025 general assembly.
Zahid clarified it would not disrupt Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government.
Conditions for Collaboration
Talks must involve true Islamic scholars, not the ignorant. They should draw from fixed religious texts while adapting to worldly changes, people, and policies.
PAS seeks unity under a dutiful government, a divine trust obeyed for its justice.
Not leaders chasing wealth and status, feared only for oppression, said the Marang MP.
