THE RELATIONSHIP OF PAS WITH NON-MUSLIMS IN THE STRUGGLE FOR POLITICAL ISLAM IN MALAYSIA 1951-2020
Hubungan PAS dengan Non-Muslim dalam Persaingan Politik Islam di Malaysia 1951-2020
Abstract
The struggle of political party that focuses only on a particular religion and race can affect support in elections because politics usually involve the interest of all parties. It is crucial for a political party to look after the interests of all people especially in a plural society because support will be given to the parties that will safeguard the interests of their religions and races. This is the dilemma faced by PAS in the political struggle in Malaysia, between gaining political support or the responsibility of conveying the message of Islam to the society. However, PAS has been consistent in its struggle for Islamic politics in Malaysia since its inception from 1951 to 2020. To analyse PAS’s political approach to non-Muslims, this article divides the approach into three sections. First, tafahum which is to approach and understand; Second, ta’awun which is to help and cooperate; Third, tahaluf which is a political cooperation. This article discusses the above three approaches by dividing the period from the 1950s to 2020 into four phases. The first phase is the initial phase which is the phase of facing racism that was thick in the society. The second phase is tafahum phase when PAS was in the coalition government and the establishment of Chinese Consultative Council (CCC). The third phase is tahaluf phase when PAS successfully established PAS Supporters Club and formed a cooperation with DAP in Barisan Alternatif (BA) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR). The fourth phase is the phase of tafahum and ta’awun when PAS could accept non-Muslims as the associate members and establish the PAS Supporters Assembly Wings. In the first three decades, PAS faced a growing racial challenge among the community, including within PAS itself. Next, PAS faces the challenge of translating Islamic values into political interaction with non-Muslims.
