Nik Abdul Aziz bin Nik Mat (Jawi: {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}; 10 January 1931 – 12 February 2015) was a Malaysian politician and Muslim cleric. He was the Menteri Besar of Kelantan from 1990 to 2013 and the Mursyidul Am or Spiritual Leader of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) from 1991 until his death in 2015. Overall, his career as an elected politician lasted for some 48 years following his election to the Parliament of Malaysia in 1967.

Nik Aziz was notable for his racially progressive stances in contrast to other contemporary figures within PAS's leadership that made it appeal to periphery non-Malay, non-Muslim electoral bases contributing to historic coalitions with left-leaning and multicultural parties like in Pakatan Rakyat; his death however led said leadership to purge like-minded progressives who splintered as the National Trust Party, as well shifting themselves further right towards Malay supremacism.<ref name=J>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Early lifeEdit

Nik Abdul Aziz was born in Kota Bharu in 1931 as the second of five siblings. He was raised by a single father (Tok Kura) who was an aspiring blacksmith.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Dead link</ref> Nik Aziz's Islamic studies began in pondok schools in Kelantan and Terengganu.<ref name="profile">Template:Citation</ref> He went on to study at Darul Uloom Deoband in Uttar Pradesh, India for five years. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Arabic Studies and Master of Arts in Islamic jurisprudence from Al-Azhar University, Egypt. During his university studies, he was one of the witnesses and a civilian to have lived in the heat of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.<ref name="Old and frail">Template:Cite news</ref>

Having returned from Egypt, Nik Aziz worked as a teacher at various religious schools in Kelantan including his father's pondok (religious school). Nik Aziz started to teach at various mosques and Pondok within Kelantan and other states. He became a respected Islamic scholar earning the nickname "Tuan Guru."<ref name="profile"/> (means 'Master/sifu of Scholar or teacher' in Malay)Template:Citation needed

Political careerEdit

Nik Aziz joined PAS in 1967. He contested and won the Kelantan Hilir parliamentary seat by-election in that same year, and held the seat (later renamed Pengkalan Chepa) until 1986.<ref name="profile"/> In 1982, he was part of a movement by young members to bring change to the party leadership. PAS had lost the Kelantan state elections in 1978 and, as PAS state commissioner, Nik Aziz began to question president Asri Muda's leadership. Finally, in the PAS Muktamar (General Assembly) that year, Asri was forced to resign.<ref name="Old and frail"/>

After stepping aside from federal politics, Nik Aziz won a seat in the Kelantan State Assembly in the 1986 general elections. In 1990, PAS managed to wrest control of Kelantan back from Barisan Nasional. In his capacity as party leader in the state, Nik Aziz became Menteri Besar of Kelantan.<ref name="profile"/> He succeeded Yusof Rawa as spiritual leader of PAS in 1991.

Nik Aziz's government was re-elected on four occasions (1995, 1999, 2004, 2008), until his retirement in 2013. During the 1990s, his administration in Kelantan frequently clashed on the role of Islam in Malaysia with the then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. In contrast with the racially exclusive ruling party UMNO, he openly rejected communal politics.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Nik Aziz commanded support from a large number of non-Muslims in Malaysia and played a leading role during PAS' increase in popularity among non-Muslims.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In May 2013, Nik Aziz publicly stated that he did not consent on any co-operation between United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) as long as he was alive.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> However, in September 2019, when PAS and UMNO signed the formal charter of alliance, named Muafakat Nasional, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang claimed that Nik Aziz had already consented to the cooperation while he was alive.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

IssuesEdit

Hardline viewsEdit

Nik Aziz drew some criticism for his hardline Islamic views. His advocacy of Islamic shariah law for all Malay Muslims drew criticismTemplate:Citation needed. According to Fox News, Nik Aziz suggested that women would be at a lower risk of being raped if they abandoned using their lipstick and perfume.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was also recorded once stating that fashionable and sexy-dressing women deserved to be raped during a speech.<ref>Sira Habibu. "Video clip of Nik Aziz goes viral", The Star Online, 25 October 2012. Retrieved on 25 October 2012.</ref>

The "Allah" issueEdit

In 2012, there was an issue of Catholics in Malaysia using the Arabic term for "God"; "Allah" in their Christian Bible. Initially, Nik Aziz stated that the word "Allah" can be used by non-Muslims as the origin of the word itself is evidently pre-Islamic. The issue caused a stir in the Muslim community. The PAS party was almost divided into two blocs; one that supported the use of the word, and one that did not. Aiming to restore unity in PAS, Nik Aziz took back his words and disapproved of the word "Allah" being used by non-Muslims.<ref>The Star. "Nik Aziz makes about-turn on 'Allah' use", Kota Bahru, 15 Januari 2013. Retrieved on 26 February 2013.</ref>

Son detained under ISAEdit

His son Nik Adli was held under the Malaysian Internal Security Act in 2001 for alleged terrorist activities including planning jihad, possession of weapons, and membership in the Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia (KMM), an Islamist extremist group.<ref>Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia (KMM) GlobalSecurity.org</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia Novelguide.com</ref><ref>Background Information on Other Terrorist Groups US Department of State</ref> After 5 years in detention without trial, he was released.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Retirement and deathEdit

During the 2013 election, PAS once again won a majority of seats to form a Kelantan state government. Nik Aziz announced his retirement as Chief Minister of Kelantan, the post he held since 1990. His successor is Nik Aziz's former deputy Chief Minister Ahmad Yaakob, who took over his office to replace him as Kelantan's Chief Minister. Over the ensuing two years, Nik Aziz became increasingly ill with prostate cancer, and died on Template:Death date and age at 9.40 p.m. Malaysia Standard Time (UTC+08:00); at his residence in Template:Ill, Kota Bharu. The following day, more than 10,000 people attended his funeral at Masjid Tok Guru, his local mosque.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His death triggered the Kelantan State Assembly seat of 2015 Chempaka by-election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
