Islamic Party of Malaysia

The Islamic Party of Malaysia (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia, PAS) is a political organization advocating for the implementation of Islamic principles within Malaysia’s governance and society. Founded in 1951, it aims to promote Islamic values, social justice, and moral integrity. PAS seeks to integrate Sharia law alongside national laws and often appeals to conservative Muslim voters. While it participates in the democratic process, its core goal is to establish an Islamic state based on its interpretation of Islamic teachings. The party influences Malaysia's politics, especially in regions with significant Muslim populations, within the framework of Malaysia’s constitutional federalism.
