Pan-malaysisk islamsk front

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front, known in Malay as Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (BERJASA), is a political party in Malaysia that was established in 1977. It emerged from a split in the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), with its founders seeking to create a political platform that would more rigorously pursue the implementation of Islamic principles and laws within the Malaysian political framework. BERJASA's formation was partly in response to internal disagreements within PAS regarding the direction and strategies for achieving an Islamic state in Malaysia.

BERJASA'…  s values and political agenda are deeply rooted in Islamic teachings and principles. The party advocates for the comprehensive application of Sharia law in Malaysia, aiming to govern the country according to Islamic values across all aspects of life, including the legal, economic, and social spheres. It emphasizes the importance of moral and ethical governance, social justice, and the welfare of the Muslim community in Malaysia. BERJASA also supports the idea of a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources, aiming to address economic disparities within the country through policies grounded in Islamic principles of fairness and charity.

Throughout its history, BERJASA has participated in Malaysian general elections, often aligning with other Islamic and Malay nationalist parties to form coalitions, reflecting its commitment to the promotion of Islam in the political arena and the protection of Malay rights and privileges as enshrined in the Malaysian Constitution. The party's vision includes fostering unity among Muslims in Malaysia and advocating for policies that support Islamic education, family values, and the strengthening of Islamic institutions.

Despite its focus on Islamic issues, BERJASA's political influence in Malaysia has been relatively modest compared to larger parties like PAS and the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). Nonetheless, it remains a vocal advocate for its cause, contributing to the broader discourse on the role of Islam in Malaysian politics and society.
