Dato' Seri Dr. Burhanuddin bin Muhammad Nur al-Hilmi (Jawi: برهان الدين بن محمد نور الحلمي; 29 August 1911 – 25 October 1969), commonly known as Burhanuddin al-Helmy, was a Malaysian Islamic thinker, anti-colonial nationalist, and politician. He served as the third President of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) from 1956 until his death, and was Member of Parliament for Besut between 1959 and 1964. Known for his role in shaping PAS’s early ideological direction, he blended Islamic reformism with third-world anti-imperialist thought, and is widely regarded as one of the party’s most intellectually influential leaders.
