Islam was spread in Southeast Asia by the hopes of spreading the Muslim reglion and culture to the chinesse people. At the same time they were looking for different spices to add to there foods and with the industrial revolution taking place Southeast Asia seemed like the perfect place to settle. The environment was warm climate and the people were friendly. Also the customs weren't demanding on the new comers so they were able to settle without any problems. Before not to long the Islam community spread and it became what it is today.

The Muslim merchants from Arab, Persia, Gujarat, China often traveled and even settled in many Indonesian cities. They came for trade while introducing their new faith of Islam. Apparently, they were welcomed by the locals, because the locals already were believing in one God. Before Islam was established amongst Indonesian communities, Muslim traders had been present for several centuries. Two overlapping processes by which the Islamisation of Indonesia occurred: Indonesians either came into contact with Islam and converted, and/or foreign Muslim Asians (Indians, Chinese, Arabs, etc.) settled in Indonesia and mixed with local communities. Islam is thought to have been present in South East Asia from early in the Islamic era.

Islam started in Arabia, which is part of Asia. It did not have to spread anywhere to get to Asia.

How did Islam spread to the islands of southeast Asia?

Islam spread to the island of southeast Asia through traders and merchants. Many of the city states in Malaysia and west Indonesia had a strong maritime trading orientation and as a result, accommodated many Muslim merchants from Arabia, India, and the East African coast. As a result, the ideas of Islam became incorporated in those areas, supplanting the previous Buddhism. In the rest of Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, and Vietnam, the orientation was much more inland and river-based trade, meaning that Islam did not have the same inroads and access.
