Masyumi Party

The Masyumi Party was a prominent Islamic political party in Indonesia from 1945 to 1960. It aimed to represent Muslim interests within the country's emerging democracy, promoting Islamic law and values while participating in national politics. The party attracted members from various Islamic organizations and advocated for the integration of religion into governance. Its influence declined during the political upheavals of the 1960s, leading to its dissolution in 1960. Masyumi played a significant role in shaping Indonesia’s early political landscape and reflected the active engagement of religious groups in the nation’s development.
