Abstract

In Malaysia, Islamist groups represent dedicated factions that seek to integrate Islamic principles into the political governance and administrative framework of the state. The evolving political landscape, both globally and domestically, has necessitated a strategic adaptation among these groups to ensure the viability of their agendas. Presently, Islamists actively pursue their objectives through engagement in party politics, whether within Islamic political organizations or multiracial entities such as Anwar Ibrahim’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat (People’s Justice Party; KEADILAN). This chapter posits that the involvement of Islamists is significant from a religious standpoint and plays a crucial role in facilitating interactions with non-Muslim groups, both within the party structure and in broader social contexts.
