of Islamic civilization in Malaysia. Second one deals with emerging issues and
modern trends in their futuristic approach and strategy. Third one evaluates sanity and
diversity in issues and conflicts both in local and global perspectives. Finally, it

General elections 2013 in Malaysia has marked a huge sign on the future politics of
the country. National Front (BN: Barisan Nasional) faced major setback of fifty years
in the history of Malaysian politics, government was unable to amend the constitution
due to the absence of two third majority in the parliament because opposition
collation Pakatan Rakayat (PR) grown more than fifty percent votes and more seats
in federal and state legislative assemblies. Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) is one of
the major fragments of opposition alliance. Among other Islamic organizations of the
country PAS has achieved better growth and proved itself a distinguished Muslim
political power of the country. Political process seems to be a better and safe way to
achieve their ultimate goal of Islamic Resurgence for prominent Islamic movements
of the world including PAS. We observe lot of bindings, barriers and challenges for
them in different countries like, Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia etc. The paper analyses
ideological commonalities of different Islamic Movements of the world and
concludes that specific circumstances demand certain approaches and finds out that
Islamic movements asserting on peaceful process to attain massive support and
handlings challenges both from world powers, Muslim secularists and radical youth
groups.
