Dato' Hajji Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat is a Malaysian politician, an Islamic ulama and currently the Chief Minister of the state of Kelantan. He holds the position of Mursyidul Am or the spiritual leader within Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party. He was born in 1931 in Pulau Melaka, Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
His Islamic studies began under teachers in Kelantan and Terengganu. He later went to India for another five years at Deoband Darul Ulum. From India, he went to Egypt where he graduated with a Bachelor Of Arts in Arabic Studies and Master of Art in Islamic law from the Al-Azhar University. During the time of his study, he was one of the witnesses and a civilian to have lived in the heat of Arab-Israeli Wars. He can speak a few foreign languages such as Arabic, English, Tamil and Urdu. In 1982, he was part of a movement by young members of PAS to take over the party.
His administration in Kelantan frequently clashed on the role of Islam in Malaysia with the former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir. In contrast with the racially-exclusive ruling party UMNO, he openly rejects communal politics.
His advocacy of Islamic shariah law to all Malay Muslims has however drawn criticism, as did his suggestion that women would be at a lower risk of being raped if they abandoned their lipstick and perfume and for a 15-year ban on the game of snooker.
