Abstract This paper discusses the leadership challenges of Muslims in facing the Vision 2020 in Malaysia. Malaysia is a unique country comprising various races, religions, ethnicities as well as cultures and different ways of life. In addition, Malaysia is also regarded as fortunate for having leaders who are forward-thinking and courageous in setting a long-term vision that has a role in the unification of the country as a whole. Moreover, there are many developments including the Vision 2020 planned by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed to be executed in 30 years, and this vision is in line with Islamic values. Generally, this research was conducted using the qualitative approach, and the data were collected from review of documents and content analysis to produce the findings. This research found that Malaysia has a two-pronged approach to achieve the Vision 2020. First, Malaysia have to move towards modernisation and be an advanced country of its own making. Second, Malaysia must be advanced in all dimensions including economy, politics, social and spirituality, psychology as well as culture. Therefore, in order to deal with these challenges, Muslims need to achieve a maturity level in political understanding, be socialised in a multiracial country, be united, and keep the good manners when dealing with difference in opinions and in debate.
