==Controversies==

===''Allah'' word issue===
This particular issue tests the consensus of the ulema based party. 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. Haron however, opposed this idea by saying that it is an abomination for permitting such action. This caused a split in PAS as Haron was deemed as a prominent Islamic scholar.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sg.style.yahoo.com/news/analysis-spotlight-again-over-allah-issue-090003885.html|title=ANALYSIS: In the spotlight again over 'Allah' issue|author=Joceline Tan|work=The Star/Asia News Network|publisher=[[Yahoo! News]]|date=10 January 2013|accessdate=25 March 2013}}</ref> Haron stated that he did not agree to allow non-Muslim to use the word Allah.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2013/01/10/haron-ill-never-agree-to-allow-nonmuslims-use-allah/|title=Haron: I'll never agree to allow non-Muslims use 'Allah'|author=Sira Habibu|work=The Star|date=10 January 2013|accessdate=25 March 2013}}</ref>

==Death==
Haron died on 15 September 2016 at the [[Stanford Health Care|Stanford University Hospital]] in [[San Francisco]], [[California]], [[United States]] at the age of 75 after being in a coma. His body was buried at [[Five Pillars Farm]], a Muslim Cemetery at 1761 Laughlin Rd, [[Livermore, California|Livermore]], [[California]]. Before his departure to the United States, he told his family and party leaders that he wanted to be buried in the country where he held his last breath. Muslims believe having a quick burial following death is the best and not putting the deceased and his family members in further suffering. His family executed his wishes instead of flying the body on a long haul flight for customary burial on the home soil.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.thesundaily.my/node/395137|title=Haron wanted to be buried in United States: Pas leader|work=Bernama|publisher=The Sun|date=16 September 2016|accessdate=17 September 2016}}</ref>

Haron Din was awarded Darjah Kebesaran Datuk Paduka Mahkota Selangor (DPMS) from Sultan of Selangor in 2016. However, his son received the award, on behalf of Haron Din, from Sultan of Selangor.<ref>https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/365918</ref> He was also awarded posthumously special 'Maal Hijrah' award from Yang Di Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah for his contribution to Islam at national and international levels.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/posthumous-maal-hijrah-award-for-haron-din| title = Posthumous Maal Hijrah award for Haron Din {{!}} Malaysia {{!}} Malay Mail}} </ref>
