PAS may be defeated in its war to uphold Islam but it will attain victory in the hereafter, in Paradise, if it remains steadfast.

This was the declaration this morning by party president Abdul Hadi Awang in his policy speech at the opening of the 61st PAS muktamar in Kuala Selangor.

"Even though the warriors of Islam are defeated or fall in the battlefield, or in any other field of struggle, the truth is that they will attain victory (in the hereafter)," Hadi said.
