'''Nik Abdul Aziz bin Nik Mat''' ([[Jawi alphabet|Jawi]]: {{lang|ms-Arab|نئ عبد العزيز بن نئ مت}}; 10 January 1931 – 12 February 2015) was a Malaysian politician and [[Muslim]] [[ulama|cleric]]. He was the [[List of Menteris Besar of Kelantan|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.

==Early life==
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>{{cite news |title=Meet Nik Aziz's brother, the teacher with a dream |url=http://harakahdaily.net/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=874:meet-nik-azizs-brother-the-teacher-with-a-dream&catid=34:primary&Itemid=56 |author=Zulkifli Sulong |date=3 July 2010 |publisher=[[Harakah (Newspaper)|Harakah]] |access-date=4 July 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Nik Aziz's Islamic studies began in ''pondok'' schools in [[Kelantan]] and [[Terengganu]].<ref name="profile">{{citation |title=Menteri Besar Kelantan |url=http://www.pas.org.my/v2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=351 |publisher=Parti Islam Semalaysia (PAS) |access-date=13 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722234047/http://www.pas.org.my/v2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=351 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</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">{{cite news|title=76 and frail, yet he's still the one they want |last=Abdul Razak Ahmad|date=8 May 2007|work=[[New Straits Times]]|publisher=[[New Straits Times Press]]}}</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 "Tok Guru."<ref name="profile"/> (means 'Master/sifu of Scholar or teacher' in Malay){{citation needed|date=August 2021}}

==Political career==
Nik Aziz joined [[Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party|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 Malaysian general election|1986 general elections]]. In [[1990 Malaysian general election|1990]], PAS managed to wrest control of Kelantan back from [[Barisan Nasional]]. In his capacity as party leader in the state, Nik Aziz became [[List of Menteris Besar of Kelantan|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>{{cite news |title=Nik Aziz says 'no way' to PAS-Umno unity talks |url=http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/nik-aziz-says-no-way-to-pas-umno-unity-talks/ |author=Shazwan Mustafa Kamal |publisher=[[The Malaysian Insider]] |date=9 June 2010 |access-date=13 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612221108/http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/nik-aziz-says-no-way-to-pas-umno-unity-talks/ |archive-date=12 June 2010 |url-status=dead }}</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>{{cite news |title=Can PAS manage victory? |url=http://www.thenutgraph.com/can-pas-manage-victory/ |last1=Wong |first1=Chin Huat |publisher=The Nut Graph |date=27 August 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=PAS succession plan not an issue, says Nik Aziz |url=http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/pas-succession-plan-not-an-issue-says-nik-aziz/ |author=Shazwan Mustafa Kamal |publisher=[[The Malaysian Insider]] |date=10 June 2010 |access-date=13 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613011525/http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/pas-succession-plan-not-an-issue-says-nik-aziz |archive-date=13 June 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Pas fishing for non-Malay votes |url=http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/16zubb/Article/ |author=Zubaidah Abu Bakar |publisher=[[New Straits Times]] |date=8 June 2010}}</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>{{cite news |title=Tiada Penyatuan PAS-UMNO selagi saya hidup (There will no no cooperation between PAS and UMNO as long as I am alive|url=https://archive.org/details/tiadapenyatuanpas-umnoselagisayahidup |access-date=16 September 2019 |publisher=[[Harakah (newspaper)|Harakah Daily]] |date=29 May 2013 |language=ms}}</ref> However, in September 2019, when PAS and UMNO signed the formal charter of alliance, PAS president [[Abdul Hadi Awang]] claimed that Nik Aziz had already consented to the cooperation while he was alive.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Nurul |first1=Azwa Aris |title=PAS spiritual adviser Nik Aziz had agreed on cooperation, says Hadi |url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2019/09/14/pas-spiritual-adviser-nik-aziz-had-agreed-on-cooperation-says-hadi/ |access-date=16 September 2019 |publisher=Free Malaysia Today |date=14 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190916044907/https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2019/09/14/pas-spiritual-adviser-nik-aziz-had-agreed-on-cooperation-says-hadi/ |archive-date=16 September 2019}}</ref>

==Issues==

===Hardline views===
Nik Aziz drew some criticism for his hardline Islamic views. His advocacy of Islamic [[sharia|shariah law]] for all Malay Muslims drew criticism{{Citation needed|date=August 2021}}. 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>{{cite news |title=Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers |url= https://www.foxnews.com/story/cleric-womens-sexy-clothing-distracting-muslim-men-from-sleep-prayers|publisher=[[Fox News]] |date=13 January 2015}}</ref> He was also recorded once stating that fashionable and sexy-dressing women deserved to be raped during a speech.<ref>Sira Habibu.

Retrieved on 25 October 2012.</ref>

===The "Allah" issue===
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. [http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2013/1/15/nation/12575195&sec=nation "Nik Aziz makes about-turn on ‘Allah’ use"], Kota Bahru, 15 Januari 2013. Retrieved on 26 February 2013.</ref>

===Son detained under ISA===
His son Nik Adli was held under the Malaysian [[Internal Security Act (Malaysia)|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>[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/kmm.htm Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia (KMM)] GlobalSecurity.org</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Nik Aziz's son named in report |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/list.asp?file=/2003/1/2/nation/hnik&sec=nation |last1=Wong |first1=Chun Wai |last2=Charles |first2=Lourdes |work=[[The Star (Malaysia)]] |date=2 January 2003}}</ref><ref>[http://www.novelguide.com/a/discover/exgi_0001_0001_0/exgi_0001_0001_0_00082.html Kumpulan Mujahidin Malaysia] Novelguide.com</ref><ref>[https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/31947.pdf Background Information on Other Terrorist Groups] US Department of State</ref> After 5 years in detention without trial, he was released.<ref>{{cite news|last1=MacIntyre |first1=Ian |last2=Zulklifli |first2=C.A. |title=Nik Aziz's son freed with 10 others |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/10/19/nation/15771918&sec=nation |work=[[The Star (Malaysia)]] |date=19 October 2006}}</ref>

==Retirement and death==
During the [[2013 Malaysian general election|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 {{death date and age|2015|2|12|1931|1|10|df=y}} at 9.40 p.m. [[Time in Malaysia|Malaysia Standard Time]] ([[UTC+08:00]]); at his residence in [[Kampung Pulau Melaka]], [[Kota Bharu]]. The following day, more than 10,000 people attended his funeral at Masjid Tok Guru, his local mosque.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.mysinchew.com/node/106108|title=Pakatan sans Anwar, Nik Aziz|last=Lim Sue Goan|date=14 February 2014|work=Sin Chew Jit Poh|access-date=11 March 2015}}</ref> His death triggered the [[Kelantan State Assembly]] seat of [[2015 Chempaka by-election]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/pas-spiritual-leader-nik-aziz-dies|title=PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz dies, by-election looms|date=13 February 2015|work=Malay Mail|access-date=12 February 2015}}</ref>
