Mujahid bin Yusof (Jawi: مجاهد بن يوسف; born 25 October 1964), commonly known as Mujahid Yusof Rawa, is a Malaysian politician who has served as Senator since May 2023. He served as the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Religious Affairs in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration under former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad from July 2018 to the collapse of the PH administration in February 2020 as well as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Parit Buntar from March 2008 to November 2022. He is a member of the National Trust Party (AMANAH), a component party of the PH coalition and was a member of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a former component party of the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition. He has also served as the 2nd Deputy President of AMANAH since December 2023 and State Chairman of PH of Perak since June 2021.

Mujahid is the son of former president of PAS, Yusof Rawa and has a PhD in political science.[1] Rawa being a progressive party leader has spoken of transforming PAS, an Islamic party, into a multi-racial party.[2] But he together with a few other progressive leaders referred to as G18 was ousted at the 2015 PAS Muktamar and has launched Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB)[3] that founded the new AMANAH party later in 2015.

Mujahid made his debut contesting the parliamentary seat of Jasin, Malacca in the 1999 general election but lost. In the 2004 general election he stood but was defeated for the Tasek Gelugor constituency in Penang.[4]

Mujahid was elected to Parliament in the 2008 general election, winning the seat of Parit Buntar in Perak.[5] During the 2013 general election, he won and was reelected as the candidate of PAS of the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) opposition coalition.[6] In 2018 general election, he retained the seat as AMANAH candidate with Pakatan Harapan coalition. Subsequently, on 2 July 2018, he was appointed Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Religious Affairs.

In 2019, he was criticised by Western media for his support for Xinjiang anti-extremism policies. On 26 June 2019, on a 7-day visit to Xinjiang as Malaysia's Religious Affairs Minister, he confirmed in a Facebook post that the camps were indeed vocational and training institutions.[7] The next day, on 27 June, he made a speech at the Beijing Foreign Studies University in which he said "false news in China about Muslims being oppressed could trigger a wave of sympathy to the oppressed and affect relationships".[8]
