Zaid Ibrahim, a lawyer, argues that non-Malays could feel more at home under PAS rule if the party emulates the Prophet Muhammad’s governance in Medina in 622. After settling in Medina, the Prophet united diverse groups—Muhajirun, Ansar, Jews, Christians, and Munafiqin—through the Sahifat Al Medina, the first written constitution. It ensured equality, religious freedom, consensus-based dispute resolution, and collective defense, fostering pride and prosperity in a multi-religious community. Zaid suggests PAS, less bound by Malay-centric “Assabiyah” than Umno, could offer non-Malays better economic policies, subsidies, and governance. By showcasing honest, inclusive leadership, PAS could convince non-Malays of a just, Malaysian identity.
