Haron bin Din (Jawi: هارون بن دين; 18 August 1940 – 16 September 2016) was a Malaysian politician and Muslim cleric.
Their top leaders including the likes of Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and Abdul Hadi Awang, were supporting the word be used by Malaysian Catholics in their Malay version of the Bible.
This caused a split in PAS as Haron was deemed as a prominent Islamic scholar.
[2] Haron died on 16 September 2016 at the Stanford University Hospital in San Francisco, California, United States at the age of 76 after being in a coma.
However, his son received the award, on behalf of Haron Din, from Sultan of Selangor.
