Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement
Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (
ABIM) or the
Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia is an Islamic organisation in Malaysia founded on 6 August 1971 at Dewan Al-Malik Faisal in Petaling Jaya. It emerged from the student movement
PKPIM and was initially led by Razali Nawawi, with
Anwar Ibrahim as secretary-general and Siddiq Fadzil as a key intellectual figure.
ABIM played a major role in Malaysia's Islamic revival, advocating for Islamisation through education, economics, and governance. Its influence extended to the founding of institutions such as the
International Islamic University Malaysia and
Bank Islam Malaysia.
