However, in the middle of the process, elements of the Action for Rescuing Indonesia Coalition entered the group and unilaterally hijacked the process.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} This lead into a breakdown of the preparatory group and led into the formation of the Masyumi Reborn Party.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} A number of members of the preparatory group later founded the Indonesian People's Da'wah Party.

The Masyumi Reborn Party adheres to an Islamist agenda.{{Cite web|last=Nur Hakim|first=Rahmat|date=2020-11-10|title=Masyumi Dulu yang Bukan Masyumi Sekarang...

The party has been influenced by Islamism and anti-capitalism.{{Cite web|last=Darmawan|first=Rakha Arlyanto|title=Masyumi 'Reborn' Larang Kader Tepuk Tangan dan Bikin Rekening Bank Riba|url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5544795/masyumi-reborn-larang-kader-tepuk-tangan-dan-bikin-rekening-bank-riba|access-date=2021-11-16|website=detiknews|language=id-ID}} The party openly forbade their cadres to express happiness, even only clapping and expressing gratitude or congratulations, claiming that those acts "resemble Jewish" practices and must avoid conventional banking or taking/getting financial interests from them, seeing them as a form of usury.

The party also advocates jihadism,{{Attribution needed|date=December 2021}}{{When|date=November 2021}} but not terrorism and further denounces the misuse of Jihad in committing terrorism.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} However, the party claimed that Indonesian terrorist acts all possibly are set-up, "highly political in nature", and "looks like an attempt to weaken the opposition", showing{{According to whom|date=November 2021}}{{Original research inline|date=November 2021}} the party siding to an Islamic right-wing populist narrative.{{Cite web|last=Supriatin|date=2021-04-03|title=Ketum Masyumi Bicara Jihad Dalam Islam: Tegakkan Kebenaran Sesuai Alquran Bukan Teror|url=https://www.merdeka.com/peristiwa/ketum-masyumi-bicara-jihad-dalam-islam-tegakkan-kebenaran-sesuai-alquran-bukan-teror.html|access-date=2021-11-16|website=merdeka.com|language=en}} The party advocates for the repeal of Omnibus Law on Job Creation, agrarian reform, social equity, and other advocations similar to left-wing groups in Indonesia.{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Reborn, Partai Masyumi Ingin Gagas Fraksi Islam |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5519586/reborn-partai-masyumi-ingin-gagas-fraksi-islam |access-date=2021-11-16 |website=detiknews |language=id-ID}}{{Dubious|certain=y|reason=no mention about left wing activity in the link |date=November 2021}} Such syncretization has confused Indonesian political experts on how to eventually classify the alignment of the party.{{Cite web|last=Kurnia|first=Febri|date=2020-10-30|title=Masyumi Reborn Mesti Punya Program yang Jelas {{!}} Politik|url=https://www.gatra.com/detail/news/494159/politik/masyumi-reborn-mesti-punya-program-yang-jelas|access-date=2021-11-16|website=www.gatra.com|language=en-US}}

The centrist Islamist parties such as United Development Party, Crescent Star Party, National Mandate Party, and National Awakening Party underestimate the party electability, due to its "extreme" ideologies and very narrow electors segmentation.{{Cite web|last=Chaterine|first=Rahel Narda|title=PPP: Kehadiran Masyumi Reborn Bukan Badai, Tak Akan Guncang Kami|url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5245428/ppp-kehadiran-masyumi-reborn-bukan-badai-tak-akan-guncang-kami|access-date=2021-11-16|website=detiknews|language=id-ID}}{{Cite web|last=Chaterine|first=Rahel Narda|title=PKB soal Masyumi Reborn: Akhirnya KAMI Jadi Partai|url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5245526/pkb-soal-masyumi-reborn-akhirnya-kami-jadi-partai|access-date=2021-11-16|website=detiknews|language=id-ID}}{{Cite news |last= |first= |title=Ketika Partai Islam Ramai-ramai 'Kecilkan' Masyumi Reborn |language=id-ID |website=detiknews |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5248407/ketika-partai-islam-ramai-ramai-kecilkan-masyumi-reborn |access-date=2021-11-16}}{{Cite web |last=Prastiwi |first=Devira |date=2020-11-10 |title=Ragam Hal dan Tanggapan Kembali Berdirinya Partai Masyumi |url=https://www.liputan6.com/news/read/4404955/ragam-hal-dan-tanggapan-kembali-berdirinya-partai-masyumi |access-date=2021-11-16 |website=liputan6.com |language=id}}

Secular parties like Golkar and PDI-P also congratulated the party formation.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} The Golkar party also advised that the party must move on and not "rest in past laurels" of old days and must innovate to gain popular support, not use a religious narrative and religious populism for party gain.

Political scientists{{who|date=November 2021}} raised warning in the appearance of Masyumi Reborn due to the party ideology not following the official state ideology of Pancasila and the party's use of Islamism.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} Adi Prayitno, a political scientist from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah, warned that the party not adhering to the Pancasila state ideology at least in part will cause a clash with Indonesian nationalist parties and groups.{{Cite web|last=Andayani|first=Dwi|title=Bila Tak Ubah Asas Perjuangan, Masyumi Reborn Dinilai Ciptakan Ketegangan|url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5246016/bila-tak-ubah-asas-perjuangan-masyumi-reborn-dinilai-ciptakan-ketegangan|access-date=2021-11-16|website=detiknews|language=id-ID}} Aidil Haris of the Muhammadiyah University of Riau said that the party must focus on specific issues.
