“Bai’ah means to pledging loyalty to a leader. As a mere mortal, a leader can do wrong….we found many PAS leaders did wrong in terms of religion,” Former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said.
He said a Muslim must submit to God and acknowledge Prophet Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah.
“There is no need for “bai’ah”... he (Hadi) is not even a prophet, so
what is the bai’ah for?” Dr. Mahathir told reporters after delivering a
lecture entitled “Mental Transformation for Young Researchers” hosted by
Universiti Teknologi Mara’s Faculty of Applied Sciences Postgraduate
Association here yesterday.
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang was
reported as saying that the party’s candidates for the next general
election were required to take the bai’ah oath which he said was higher
than loyalty pledge, and those who broke the oath would pay dearly in
this world and the hereafter.
Dr. Mahathir said PAS was stifling the thinking of its members by practicing “bai’ah”.
