The Spread of Islam to Malaysia & Indonesia
Islam’s journey to Malaysia and Indonesia is a story of peaceful coexistence and the gradual acceptance of Islam. Islam first reached Southeast Asia through trade routes, primarily conducted by Arab and Indian merchants. These traders brought not only goods but also the teachings of Islam, which gradually took root among the local populations and was closely linked to trade and cultural exchange. Muslim traders established settlements along the coastlines, where they interacted with the local communities, shared their beliefs, and built mosques and Islamic institutions foundational to Muslim communities.
Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood.1 So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. Quran 2:256
The conversion to Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia was largely peaceful, Sufi missionaries traveled to remote areas, spreading Islam through their exemplary conduct, spiritual teachings, and community work. Islamic teachings emphasised the importance of kindness and justice towards all people, regardless of their faith resulting in great tolerance and co-existance with non-Muslims
Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair. Quran 60:8
Islam, as practiced in Malaysia and Indonesia today, upholds the rights of non-Muslims. Both countries have constitutions that guarantee freedom of religion and protect the rights of religious minorities to practice their faith without discrimination.
One such example is in Bali, which is predominantly Hindu, and the local government ensures that Hindu traditions and practices are preserved and respected. Balinese Hindus have the freedom to celebrate their religious festivals, maintain their temples, and uphold their cultural heritage without any restrictions.
“To you be your religion, and to me my religion” Quran 109:6
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) set the example of treating non-Muslims with kindness and compassion, said:
“Whoever harms a non-Muslim citizen, I am his adversary, and I shall be an adversary to him on the Day of Judgment” (Bukhari).
The spread of Islam to Malaysia and Indonesia was marked by peaceful interaction, cultural exchange, and the embodiment of Islamic values such as tolerance and compassion. Today, these countries stand as shining examples of pluralistic societies where people of different faiths live harmoniously, guided by the timeless principles of Islam.

Kamina is a man who fights for freedom from the forces that seeks to oppress his people.
Tell me I'm wrong, but I think Abu Ubaidah carries the same vibe. Hence inspired me to make this piece.
People of Gaza, theirs are the faith that will pierce the heavens.

The Orang Asli: Malaysia's first people
The name Orang Asli roughly translates to "the native people" in Malay. They make up about .7% of Malaysia's population and are the earliest inhabitants of peninsular Malaysia.
While I do refer to them as one "tribe" there are many groups within The Orang Asli with distinct languages, cultures and customs. So there are a few subdivisions.
Such as the
Semang, the Semang (also known as Pangan) are the real earliest inhabitants of the Malay peninsula and reside in the north of the country. They are direct descendants of the Hoabinhian people.
the Semang have tribes within them as well (too many to fully do it justice but just trust me on this one) and they were hunter gatherer like civilizations beforehand. As per the 2010 census there are about 4,800 people who fall under the label of Semang
Senoi, the Senoi are the largest subdivision of the Orang Asli and commonly reside in the north and central parts of the peninsula. Many people in the Senoi tribe after the colonial era now follow Islam and Christianity (not all but there's a sizable amount. Senoi makes up about 53% of the Orang Asli which is a sizable number. They mostly work in agriculture and farm rubber, cocoa and palm oil.
Aboriginal Malays, they are the second largest group within the Orang Asli (around 43%) and are also referred to as the Proto-Malays. They live in the southern portion of the peninsula and are ethnically similar to the average modern day Malaysian. They mostly work in agriculture, fishing and trade. A major distinction between the Aboriginal Malays and the Modern Malays is the the fact that the Aboriginal Malays are usually not muslim (despite some tribes within them adopting the religion as a result of trade)
Like I said before, there are a LOT of tribes to mention here and countless subtribes each with their own story. I don't think I could learn about them all just yet but this is quite an interesting look at Malaysia. It goes to show that their past is very much alive and well

The Malaysian government revealed its plans to counter Islamophobia by distributing copies of the Quran translated into several languages, setting aside more than $2 million in its 2023 budget.
Malaysia spends $2,000,000 USD to counter ‘Islamophobia’ by distributing copies of Qur’an worldwide https://t.co/dpBtgXhab1
— Megh Updates (@MeghUpdates) March 5, 2023
This would be the first time the country embarked on such a plan under Malaysia’s new prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim. Twenty thousand copies produced under the project would be sent to Sweden, where a far-right Swedish-Danish activist Rasmus Paludan lit the Quran on fire while staging protests.
After attending an event called “International Forum on Islamophobia” held in Malaysia’s administrative capital Putrajaya, prime minister Anwar Ibrahim told the media that the 10 million Malaysian ringgit (equivalent to 2.2 million US dollars) set aside from the program is meant to foster greater understanding of Islam.
“We will print 20,000 in Swedish – and other languages too – for the purpose of better understanding,” the prime minister told reporters. “Why it has become an issue is because those against Islam never read the holy book. …. So, we have to go back to the text or at least the translation to save and enlighten others about the deeper meaning of the religion.”
I wish they had spent this money on proper education.
— Harshal (Indian) (@HarshalMagar7) March 5, 2023
Anwar believes the translations, distribution, and publication of the Quran in several languages would show maturity and wisdom on Malaysia’s part amidst growing anti-Muslim sentiment worldwide.
“Yes, we must protest, but it is also important we must give our understanding and do our utmost to ensure the message of the Quran is alive,” Anwar said, according to local media sources.
Sweden’s ambassador to Malaysia, Joachim Bergström, welcomed Anwar’s plan announcement.
“I am personally delighted that the Al-Quran, this globally important text, will be more accessible in my native country and in Europe,” Bergström said.
“I even own several copies. I have spent many years of my life living and working in the Muslim world – including as Sweden’s special envoy to combat Islamophobia between 2016 and 2021 – and I am convinced that knowledge and dialogue are the way to promote understanding and peace.” Bergström added.
Couldn't they just e-mail everyone?
— OneTwoMany (@OneTwoMany6) March 5, 2023
Although this would be the first time Malaysia would distribute copies of the Quran worldwide, it’s not the first Muslim-majority country to do so. In 2000, Saudi Arabia spread 138 million copies of the religious text to several countries, the most recent being Kenya in 2022, which received 30,000 copies of the Quran.
But only some in Malaysia are convinced with the plan, with some Malaysian netizens saying it would be a waste of resources and it would be better to spend the money on other social programs.
What a waste of money , could have been used to feed the poor
— $AY MY NAME (@LenaMeraNaam) March 5, 2023
A hardline Malaysian Islamist group also expressed skepticism of the plan, insisting that Malaysia should take harsher measures against Sweden, such as boycotting Swedish goods.
==
This is obviously a waste of money, but there's a nugget of a good idea in there: translate the quran into Malay. Since Arabic is not an official language of Malaysia and few people speak it, encouraging them to read it in their own language would do the country a world of good.

[Book Review] The Prayer: Its Effect in Increasing Eeman and Purifying The Soul by Shaykh Husayn Al-Awaayishah
🧮 Score: 4.7/5.0
.
“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Prayers with humility and attentiveness.” - (Surah al-Mu’minoon 23:1-2)
■ Life fascinates us with its unknown twists and turns. Which may cause us to lose focus and aching with disillusionment and suffering. Let's liberate our hearts from worries, refine our Prayer(Salah) and elevate our faith(Eeman).
The author illustrates the importance and benefits of Salah with ample references from the Quran and Sunnah. He encourages us to reflect and compare our Salah with that of the Prophet (SAW) and his Companions (RA). Not only discusses the practices on an individual level, but he also highlights the functions of the society and family institutions in boosting our eeman as a Muslim and collectively as the Ummah.
■ In only about 112 pages, he conveyed the knowledge(Deen) without undermining common confusions/misunderstandings on cultural appropriations. It’s amazing how clear his words are. His writings are stern yet uplifting. He empathises, clarifies and reminds things with care and sincerity. I also appreciate the provided footnotes and glossary that validate the sources.
■ How should we turn, and widen our perspectives and attitudes towards the ideas/obligations? We must do self-reflections and embrace entirely these three gems; intentions, humility and attentiveness. Then only we taste the sweetness in following the Sunnah, i. e. the correct ways to worship.
● Frequently, we find ourselves engulfed in the aftermath of our mistakes, be they wrong choices or unwise words spoken. To move forward and renew our eeman is to let go of our past. Acknowledge our shortcomings/wrongdoings, learn from them and move on.
● We need to cleanse our hearts. Begin with a genuine and earnest repentance, beseeching Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and His mercy. Make a firm commitment for a fresh start.
● The Quran strengthens our souls, infusing them with elevated faith. Dedicate extra effort to recite, explore the tafseer or learn the Arabic language to fully appreciate the Quran's eloquence, beauty, and miraculous nature.
● The Elixir of Life: Salah. Instead of going on auto-pilot mode, fully engage with Him during the five prescribed moments each day. Express genuine gratitude and directly present your concerns to Him.
■ To conclude, in a world where Salah often becomes a mere habit, the author reiterates the spiritual depths and discusses the condition of the heart one should cultivate when approaching this act of worship, offering insights on how to foster this mindset and exploring the impacts Salah should have on one's life.
Eeman, like a delicate flower, can bloom or wither in response to life's various challenges. Repent, ascend, and usher shifts into your life to earn the pleasure of your Creator. Be the Ummah that is capable of instigating positive societal transformations, rather than one that perpetually whines about every tiny problem.

entry #1, 22nd september 2023.
Allah's guidance feels beautiful. there may be a period of life where you don't feel anything after committing sins. you're starting to worry as you fear you are in Istidraj. you brush it off trying to get rid of the feeling but it feels heavy, pretending you don't feel that way or you don't know you're feeling that way.
recently, i watched a Malay drama named Nur. beautiful story despite of course— the soap opera, dramatic elements are included in it. Nur talks about how the alley people, prostitutes, society, the common misconception of Islam.
"Allah benci kita, masyarakat benci kita, orang-orang alim mana mungkin suka dekat kita." was along the lines of what one of the characters said, meaning "Allah hates us, society hates us, and the pious will of course dislike us too."
the main character of the story is Nur, the daughter, the granddaughter of prostitutes. who was a believer of and is interested in islam. her mother forbade her from practicing islam, because in her whole life of working as a prostitute, she never got out or have her prayers answered, or so she thinks. she even forbade Nur to read, listen or consume any Islamic materials, contents inside her house because she disliked it, she was angry with god— nauthubillahiminzalik . Nur secretly prays in alleys— beside the road since she's prohibited to in her house, secretly took on a dishwashing job at a nearby restaurant to make ends meet instead of selling her body without telling her mother. she went to a mosque but was chased out by mosque committee members.
learning about islam, of course Nur had her own curiosities, especially with her point of view. but her origin being the allies, she only dared to write her questions on a piece of paper, passed it to a random child in the mosque to give to the ustaz who was giving the morning lecture. the ustaz was ustaz Adam, who was curious with why she refused to ask the question herself. he soon caught her writing a question on a piece of paper, but she ran and left behind the incomplete question paper before he could approach her.
her question was "kenapa Allah lahirkan golongan-golongan lorong hanya untuk dihantar ke neraka, dan dilahiran golongan-golongan orang yang baik untuk dihantar ke syurga? dimanakah adanya Allah, kalau ujian yang dihadapi manusia itu tidak sama beratnya?" which means "why did Allah create the 'sinners' just to be sent to hell, and the pious to heaven? where is He, if the test given to humanity is not equally heavy?"
ustaz Adam's response was that life is never fair.
the 29th of the holy names of Allah— The Asma'ul Husna, Al-Adl. The Embodiment of Justice and Fairness.
Allah created those who are born disabled, those who are poor, living alongside those who are physically perfect and complete, and with those who are rich. but like it or not, they still need to live, even though the fortunate ones don't have to struggle as much whilst.
In our eyes, is that fair?
there are people born as Muslim, and others born and raised with other religions. everyone feels that the world is unfair. but as long as we try to seek His fairness in human standards, we will never see it. we will never see how beautiful it is.
"Jadi, kat mana keredhaan Allah tu?" "So, where is Allah's fairness?" asked Nur.
Sabr. Acceptance. The sixth pillar of Imaan (Faith), acceptance of Qada' and Qadr.
as long as you continue to view your destiny in the eyes of imperfect human standards, you will never find the beauty of Allah's fairness. May you stumble upon difficulties in your life, if obstacles happens to knock you down, there is always the floor to sujood.
Allah loves us. Even if his servants are hit with Istidraj, he is always listening. Make du'a, and he will decide the best path for you. us servants plan, and the All-knowing executes it.
Quran, 3:160
إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا الَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّن بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
If Allah assists you, then there is none that can overcome you, and if He forsakes you, who is there then that can assist you after Him? And on Allah should the believers rely (ie. do tawakkul).
from inreflectionofthequran.wordpress.com
continuing from the initial thought behind this post, if you feel similarly, seek those who are well-versed in Islam and surround yourself with those who love and believe in Islam as much as you are, or you want to be. we will all sin as humans, and we should repent to Allah every time. He is the the most gracious and merciful, slowly take your time to change, pray to Allah, seek him, and seek patience. and yes, i recommend everyone to watch Nur. (though it may not be everybody's cup of tea, the message is beautiful, undeniably.)
Wallahua'lam. may we all be a part of As-Sabireen. Allahumma Barik.
(apologies for any mistakes, please kindly point it out and teach me.)
