Malaysian Muslim Solidarity (Malay: Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia, often known by its acronym ISMA) is a Malaysian ultra-conservative Islamist non-government organisation.[1][2][3] It was established in 1997 with the name Ikatan Siswazah Muslim Malaysia, which was later changed to present Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia in 2005.[4]

ISMA is a nativist organization that derides the idea of non-Malay participation in Malaysian politics as "overly compromising" and trangressive against the supposed special indigenity of Malaysia's Malay population.[5] It focuses on promotion of Muslim faith targetting Malay demographics with political intention to "develop and empower Islamic civilisation in Malaysia on the basis of mutual justice”[1] based on their slogan Melayu Sepakat, Islam Berdaulat (Malays Unite for Islam Sovereignty);[6] it is particularly known for its vocal opposition towards what it claims to be rampant "influences of liberalism, deviationism of the Shia denomination, and threats of Christianisation" in the country.[7]

The NGO now has 35 branches nationwide and 9 international branches networked by alumni of British and Middle Eastern universities.[5] It is also affiliated with the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front political party where candidates have come from the organization.[8][9] Persatuan Belia Islam Nasional or PEMBINA, is the student society of Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia.[10]
