This research aims to determine Malay identity and leadership. The method used in the research is descriptive research with library research studies. In this research, the author uses descriptive research with greater emphasis on the strength of analysis of existing sources and data by relying on existing theories and concepts to be interpreted based on the writings that lead to the discussion. The research results are that maintaining the existence of values and culture is very important in maintaining the integrity and civilization of a nation itself. History has recorded that Malay culture is the basis for the formation of tamadun in most areas of the archipelago until now. Malay society places great emphasis on how a person behaves in placing his or her position in society. In developing the civilization and culture of the Malay society, what is certain is that the culture and noble values that exist as a combination of customs and religious values need to be revitalized and used as a core for development. A leader must be Amanah, Siddiq, Fathonah and Tabligh because he will be entrusted with responsibility. If a leader does not have the character of trust, of course what will happen is abuse of position and authority for things that are not good. That is why the Prophet Muhammad SAW also reminded us to maintain the mandate of leadership, because this will be accountable, both in this world and in the afterlife.
