This article is intended to discuss about the issue of liberal Islam in Malaysia. Liberal Islam is a religion that contradicts the true religion of Islam. This widespread liberation of liberal Islam is extremely dangerous as it is clearly against the Quran and al-Hadith. In addition, the beliefs brought by these followers are also incompatible with the true teachings of the Islamic religion and Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah (ASWJ). Followers of liberal Islam are more emphasizing the law based on common sense rather than referring to al-Quran and al-Hadith. The question arise in this situation is what is the threat brought by the followers of liberal Islam in Malaysia? How is the development of liberal Islam in Malaysia? To answer this question, this article has three objectives. Firstly, this article was created to identify the concept of liberal Islam. Secondly, to identify the characteristics of liberal Islam. Thirdly, to identify the issues in the Islamic society in Malaysia that are related to liberal Islam This qualitative research uses content analysis to analyze all the data that has been collected. Through this approach, the findings of the study are liberal Islam is a dangerous threat to the Muslim community in Malaysia. In addition, this liberal Islamic understanding can influence the thinking of the Muslim community in Malaysia as the people in Malaysia are still not open about this concept.
