Al-Quran has provided theoretical and practical guidance on the position of state institutions in Islam. One of the surahs that discusses the principles of statehood is Surah al-Naml. This surah, which contains 93 verses, tells the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH), a prophet and king who was blessed with wisdom and a great empire. Lately, there have been concerns over the erosion of values and integrity due to the spread of materialism, individualism, and hedonism. This has guided the idea of Madani Malaysia, which was introduced by the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, in January 2023 to optimally apply core values to the people and leaders. Meanwhile, the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH) is a civilisation highlighted by the Quran in Surah al-Naml. However, is there a correlation between the core values of Madani Malaysia and the values contained in the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH)? This question leads to this study, which tries to identify the correlation aspect between the two core values. Using a qualitative approach based on literature, content analysis was conducted on the official documents of Madani Malaysia and the scholars’ interpretation of the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH). The findings of the study show that the six core values of Madani Malaysia, namely sustainability, well-being, creativity, respect, confidence, and courtesy have a significant link with the lessons and values contained in the story of Prophet Sulayman (PBUH), whether in His Majesty’s own character, ants, hudhud, Queen Balqis, and the dignitaries, both conceptually and practically. Overall, the application of these core values can drive Malaysia towards a developed and highly civilised country.
