How was Islam introduced to Malaysia?

Answer 1

Islam was introduced to Malaysia by Arab/Muslim traders. Due to the need of spices by Europe at the time, and the fact that the Europeans had to travel through the Middle East, Afghanistan and Persia to get to the spices, the Muslims had the plan to control the spice growing. The Muslims knew if they had the spice markets, then they controlled the price aswell. On the way, these men and women practiced their beliefs (i.e. Prayer, Fasting, Charity, etc.) and this interested many indigenous populations. They started to learn about Islam while the traders learned the knowledge that the people already their knew, like medicines and architecture. It is even thought that some of the Sahaba (Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sala'am)) visited Malaysia, after all, there was a delegation of Muslims sent to the Emporer Gaozong in China by the Caliph Uthman.
