Islamic Revivalism in Malaysia : Dakwah among the students

---

Outline: In the study of Islamic revivalism in Malaysia, there have been few attempts to understand and explain the growth of the dakwah movement from the perspective of the adherents themselves. It is the author's contention that the youth of Malaysia, the undergraduates and young professionals, form the backbone of the dakwah movement in the country. Who are these people who are changing the political rhetoric and shaping the social climate in Malaysia into a more Islamic tone? Why and how did they become dakwah? What are their beliefs, their demands? How do they spread the movement on the campuses? The study shows that the dakwah movement in Malaysia is not monolithic. Those who have become dakwah do not necessarily share the same intensity of practice or level of commitment to Islam. Not all those have become dakwah are politicized. In tracing the growth of the dakwah movement, the study finds that under the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, the ABIM-dominated movement among the students was a progressive one. The radicalization of the dakwah movement and the calls for an Islamic state occurred with the return of Malaysian students from England who had been influenced by the more fundamentalist Islam of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Pakistani Jamaati-Islami. In her analysis of the socio-political impact of the dakwah movement, the author argues that while the movement may not have the resources to capture political power, its strength and importance lie in its ability to influence and change the lifestyle and value-system of the Malays and in its ability to destabilize the government by denying it the religious legitimacy it seeks.
