Malaysian Muslim Solidarity (Malay: Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia, often known by its acronym ISMA) is an Islamist non-government organisation. It was established in 1997 with the name Ikatan Siswazah Muslim Malaysia, which was later changed to present Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia in 2005.
ISMA is a nativist organization that derides the idea of non-Malay participation in Malaysian politics as "overly compromising" and transgressive against the supposed special indigeneity of Malaysia's Malay population. It focuses on promotion of Muslim faith targeting Malay demographics with political intention to "develop and empower Islamic civilisation in Malaysia on the basis of mutual justice” based on their slogan Melayu Sepakat, Islam Berdaulat (Malays Unite for Islam Sovereignty); 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.
The NGO now has 35 branches nationwide and 9 international branches networked by alumni of British and Middle Eastern universities. It is also affiliated with the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Front political party where candidates have come from the organization. Persatuan Belia Islam Nasional or PEMBINA, is the student society of Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia.
