==History==
ABIM was established by Ustaz Wahab Sulaiman on 6 August 1971<ref name="pendekar">{{cite book|author=Pendekar Berkuda|url=http://www.pendekarberkuda.org/2013/01/sejarah-penubuhan-abim-angkatan-belia-islam-malaysia.html|title=Sejarah Penubuhan Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia}}</ref> during an international trend of [[Islamic]] revivalism. Founded by Muslim students, [[:ms:Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia|PKPIM]] (National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students) in particular, the organisation promoted Islam through its charity work and education programs aimed at the poor. Yayasan Anda, a private school known as the "Institute", served as a centre for its promotion of Islamic education.<ref name="Hefner"/> The popularity of the organisation was aided by widespread scepticism among the youth towards [[secularisation]] and [[Westernisation]].<ref name="Hefner"/> ABIM supported and assisted Islamic students practising [[Dawah]], the preaching of Islam,<ref name="Hefner">{{cite book|author1=Robert W.

The group reached its height during the late 1970s with a call to return to the basics and the true teachings of Islam through advocacy channel. In the 1980s decade, ABIM renewed its approach through the concept of "partnership in nation building" with the government. The idea that also was known as "the reform from within" had undergone the highly successful period particularly when the idea of establishing Islamic University and Islamic Banking that derived originally form ABIM's Annual General Assembly had been realised through the establishment of [[International Islamic University Malaysia|International Islamic University of Malaysia-IIUM]] (1982) and [[Bank Islam Malaysia|Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad]] (1983). For an organisation that was nominally not political, ABIM consistently criticised the government particularly in the scope of good governance which is non-compliance with Islamic principle. By 1986, the group had 40,000 members and now reaching 60,000 members and ABIM's mission continuously received encouraging support from Muslims in Malaysia.<ref name="Ooi2009">{{cite book|author=Keat Gin Ooi|title=Historical Dictionary of Malaysia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3Uq_c2LARgAC&pg=PA20|year=2009|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-5955-5|page=20}}</ref>
