As an Arab I say Alhamdulillah that we have great brothers and sisters in Indonesia and Malaysia. Just seeing the way they acted during the earthquake gives me chills and makes me proud that I am a part of this great Ummah with such amazing people that I can proudly call my brothers and sisters. Allah bless you all ❤

Don’t forget our lil brother brunei 🇧🇳, proud to be Indonesian 🇮🇩, proud to be Muslim.😇

Indonesian here. Thank You for uploading this high quality educational video. I'm from Gayo Highland of Aceh province in Sumatera Island. I've met plenty of Malaysian during performing Umrah both in Mecca and Medina. Hionestly, talking with them feels like I'm talking to people from my hometown. Salam ukhuwah & takzim kepada org Malaysia. Takkan Melayu hilang di muka bumi. InshaAllah.

Watching this from Uganda. Thanks for good news and reminders to those of us who aren't satisfied with our religion but truly, Islam is a gift to the world. Proud to be a Muslim, born and raised

Salaam to all from Somalia 🇸🇴

Thanks for the quick history lessons of our Indonesian & Malaysian archipelago in converting to Islam. Jazakallah khairan 🙏

MashaAllah. I have visited Malaysia 6 times, Indonesia 3 times and Brunei once. Amazing history, wonderful people, amazing countries for travellers. Even Thailand (especially Southern Thailand and Bangkok) and Singapore has decent Muslim population too

Masyallah Malaysia 🇲🇾 Indonesia 🇮🇩 our Muslim brotherhood real of the nursantra

as a uzbek turk, i had been searching how Indonesia and Malaysia accepted Islam, thanks for knowledge

Assalam mua alaikum my brothers and all ummah in the world. Malaysian Malay/Banjar Muslims here. We are proud of our Muslims heritage and we Malaysian and Indonesian will always protect this religion no matter what, even though sometimes we quarrel about food and cultures lol. But in terms of our stead fast of our religion we are always together. Both our country now are under attack by western liberalism and munafiq, we pray that we will prevail, please make dua for us.

This is one of the most beautiful stories of Islam spreading

i hope my fellow malays wont forget about our moro and pattani brothers. some pinoy like duterte and jose rizal still consider themselves as malay. and not forget about brunei!

Nusantara (Indonesia to Philippines) was once a golden route for knowledge and gold. Alhamdulillah. In Sya Allah, we will return to flourish the world again

Even though Malaysia country was once colonized by Japan and British but Islam still continues to grow until today 🇲🇾❤️ (Sheikh Idris al-Marbawi is one of the leading Malay preachers)

As a proud Malaysian, I'm grateful for Islam. Alhamdulillah ❤️ #freepalestine🇵🇸

Assalamualaikum Salam sejahtera daripada Malaysia 🇲🇾😁

The first muslim Sultan in Malay Peninsular is Phra Ong Mahawangsa (in 1136) the Kedah king who changed his name to Sultan Muzaffar Shah upon conversion. He was converted to Islam by Syeikh Abdullah al Qumairi al Yamani who is a desciple of Sultanul Awliya Syeikh Muhyiddin Abdul Qadir al Jailani.

Don’t forget our lil bro Brunei 🇧🇳 Love from 🇲🇾

Also brunei 🇧🇳

Our ancestor choose islam because they know islam is the true religion.

Salam from singapore, may our malays and our muslim brothers in Singapore unite w the ummah and appreciate our history ☝🏽🤲🏼

We're with you, Brother ☝️🏳️🇲🇾 Assalamualaikum

Before the Hindu religion came to indonesia, the natives already have a relgion called "Kapitayang". Most of them don't accept Hinduism because they deem it racist because of the caste system and of course the pagan multitheistic core that just doesn't sit right with their previous belief "the Kapitayang" However when Islam came and they notice the similiar nature of their previus beliefs most of them convert immediately and become the muslim majority country that it is today.

I'm a Muslim in Birmingham UK. Love Islam and my Muslim family.

I'm muslim from Kelantan, Malaysia 🇲🇾😍

But western people always slander that Islam in Indonesia was spread by war, even though it wasn't, we in the archipelago embraced Islam voluntarily because we were interested in Islam because of its reasonable and beautiful teachings. And in fact the countries that colonized the archipelago were all non-Islamic European countries and Japan .

Thank you for bring it up our nation, Indonesia & Malaysia for this video. In fact, Brunei Darussalam, Siam (Thailand), Singapore (it was part of Malaysia), Phillipines were under Islam kingdom, but because of European colonialism they impossed their Christianity faith to the indigenous people.

Phillipines will become Muslim again InshaAllah!

Salam from Malaysia 🇲🇾 We should take this as lesson that POLITICS is powerful way of Dawah. We must strive so that Islamic Political power once again powerful. Peace and Justice will be uphold

Alhamdulillah..Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulilah..All praises to Allah to choose us as Muslim and grant us imaan.. Alhamdulillah

When the Portugese, Dutch and English came to colonise the Malay region, they came with 3G motif that is GOLD, GLORY and GOSPEL. They only gain 2 which is Gold and Glory but fail the Gospel. For nearly 500 years the Malay Muslim being colonised by the European, they fail to convert these people to Christianity. There is not even one Malay Christian community exist in Malaysia and not a single Malay Christian church was build in Malaysia.

Salamalaykum. Thank you for your explanation, we appreciate your videos. May God protect you and your family. 🇲🇦

I'm a Kurdish, but Malaysia and Indonesia are the most beautiful countries in Asia. They are better than China, Japan and the two Koreas, both in terms of people and life.🇲🇾🇲🇨😊

wow the reversion of Indonesia and Malaysia was too complicated than I thought. Can you make a video about the Philippines because they were muslim for some period of time until Spaniards arrived

Thanks to Allah become Islam in Indonesia 🇮🇩. Warm regard from Sultanate of Yogyakarta

before Hindu and Budhism, people in Indonesia had already been in monotheistic believe. That's one of the reasons why the Balinese Hindu is different, they believe in one God with different shapes and names.

We in Malay archipelago accepted Islam peacefully without any blood shed

Islam has only ever been spread in one way.. Patience and good manners.. Even Egypt was majority Christian for centuries after it was conquered by the Muslims

The land of Philippines once had few sultanate there. Sultanate of Manila, sultanate of sulu. The Spaniard conquest spreading Christianity there. Sultanate of Manila fall, and many Muslim then convert or forced to. Sultanate of sulu located at South continue the fighting. Even after adopting Christian, Filipino doesn't get fair treatment from the Spanish. They still treat as second class citizen

Salam again, Omar! I've long awaited for this video, and I must say that this was nothing short of great. This video resonated with me in some form, as my ancestors were associated with the Riau Sultanate in Singapore. Keep up the good work akhi! Jazakallah Khair. Learning about the history of Islam throughout the globe has never been more interesting.

Proud to be a Malaysian also don't forget our brother Brunei is also Muslim as well

That's why the work of dawah is so important!

Kinda simmilar like Bangladesh I love islam and Nusantara(Indonesia,Brunei,Malaysia) from🇧🇩🤲🏼 Bangladesh

The foundation of Demak is traditionally attributed to Raden Patah (r. 1475-1518), a Javanese noble related to Majapahit royalty. At least one account stated that he was the son of Kertabhumi, who reigned as king Brawijaya V of Majapahit (1468-1478). In 1478 the Sudarma Wisuta war took place, when Ranawijaya's army under general Udara (who later became vice-regent) breached Trowulan defences and killed Kertabhumi in his palace.[8][9] Demak sent reinforcements under Sunan Ngudung, who later died in battle and was replaced by Sunan Kudus, but they came too late to save Kertabhumi, although they managed to repel the Ranawijaya army. This event is mentioned in Trailokyapuri (Jiwu) and the Petak inscription, where Ranawijaya claimed that he already defeated Kertabhumi and reunited Majapahit as one kingdom. In response to the collapse of Kertabhumi of Trowulan and the rise of Girindrawardhana of Daha in 1478, Demak decided it was no longer obliged to sent tribute to the Majapahit central court and declared its independence.

2 billion + muslims with enough resources and power yet can't do a thing for our Palestinian brothers. I hope this humiliation goes down in our history for generations to come so that they can remember this humility and come out strong.

Assalamualaikum brother, besides Indonesia and Malaysia, we also have significant muslim brothers and sisters in southern Thailand, southern Philippines and in Cambodia. They are also Malays. Not to forget Brunei, small country but very rich.

I'm Malaysian Muslim.May God bless you sir.Aminnn.

Love our Muslim brothers of Indonesia and Malaysia from Pakistan ❤

And brunei, and singapore(before mass exodus from china), and southern thai and champa

You left out the fall of Melaka to the Portuguese in 1511, which led to the establishment of the Johor Sultanate soon after.

Goes to show just how resilient and universal Islam truly is. After all, its the deen of fitrah. Jzk

Its finally came out! Alhamdulillah, thank you brother!

indonesia is becoming superpower kudos love from bangladesh we aint same region but still close

Also note that these two countries have their own unique Islamic culture that can be distinguished from Middle East. That way the native people can accept it without being forced to convert.

Subahanallah 🇲🇾❤️🇵🇸

Love for Malaysia, the love i recieved there for 6 years were amazing ❤

It's the Yemeni that brought Islam to us..the Chinese came later, go follow Prof Solehah's work on this 😅

Can i hug you? Im crying here. Love from 🇲🇾 Many thanks to all muslim from middle east- arab, persian, somali,indian, china who came here 13 centuries ago and spread islam

That was interesting. JazakAllahu khair

Mashaa Allah it is strange how your video has more likes than views😅 but as always the content is classic

🇮🇩🇲🇾🇧🇳 Asean region big moslem

This is a history that sadly even most Indonesian musmilms are ignorarn of. I'm native Indonesian and non-muslim, but I do proud of our history. I'd like to add that different waves of Islamic spreading makes Islam in Indonesia particullarly unique, that they don't being arabised by the peoole who bring Islam to Indonesia, they still keep all their ancestral Hindu-Buddhist and even many Chinese-influenced traditions, instead being arabised, they Islamised their traditions. And they embraces Chinese form of muslim dressing, we still call it "Koko clothing" for muslim men dressing, from Chinese "Tage" or "Brother" dressing. And women still wearing their traditional dress evolved non-covering shoulder into proper cover of the top and adding head covering. And after along bloodahed berween kingdoms (hindu vs buddhist, then hindu vs islam, then islam sulatante vs islam sultanate, and against colonialist), people came to realise the cost of power struggle throughout our history. We realised we came from same common background though we have so many ethnic/tribal/linguistic background we mostly share common ancestors, and the religions are foreign influence we embraced individually or collectivelly that help shapinh our society and then later identity, but Indonesoan themselves inspite of the majority of the people are muslims refuse to make our national idenitity as one with religious identity thus make the country identified by the religion, because our forefathers realised our long history can't be identify with a relogion. We came from pahan animist dynamist people to hindu-budhist people (that lay foundation for oir civilisation), then Islam came, then Christianity came, Konfucianism or other form of Chinese traditional belief (probably had been in Indonesia as old as the Hindus or even more old who knows since our common ancestors were indeed from southern region of China) and of all things all the people regardless their religiojs backgrounds, fighting the colonialism, fighting for independence and fighting to keep the independence. So Indonesia despite making up the largest Muslim population in thw world, is a secular country. Our sacred national symbols are inherited from our Hindu syambols...our Garuda eagle is the mount of Hindu Deva Vishnu...A Garuda Purana. Our National Motto also in from inherited from Hindu our one great Hindu Poet whose language is heavily influenced by Sanskrit. Our military mottos as well all influenced by and taken from our old Hindu traditions. Even nowadays most of us don't even realise why we still practicing certain traditions which is just similar to our Hindu fellow country-men. Even though many have been Islamised or even Christenised people stil do those old traditions with such reverence. That is why also inspite muslims make the largest population, we live in peace with each other, because for Indonesian, we are fellow Indonesian first and foremost, then our ethnic or religious, etc backgrounds. We hold sacred our national motto "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" - "Unity in diversity". We love our country first and forwmosr and we always identify ourselves as Indonesian first before acknowledging our other backgrounds. Thar is why Indonesia also known for its religious tolerance. We do not push aside our religious differences but we tried our best to live side by side harmoniouasly despite all of the difference. Our common ground is thar Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. There is no majority or minority in that. And our forefathers who laid this foundartions most of them were muslims.

Terima kasih di atas Perkongsian Ilmu 👍🏼🇲🇾🇮🇩

Hi Omar thank you for informing the spread of Islam in Indonesia, my home country. I was born and lived in Central Java but recently I study abroad. In my point of view, you should add another actor that had a great contribution to spread Islam mostly in Java. I believed his name is Sultah Mehmed II (Mohammed II) from Ottoman Empire, he sent several 'Ulama (Islamic Scholar) to Java, we usually called them Walisongo (Waliy 9). They had a lot of contribution to spread Islam mostly in Java. By the way, Pajang Kingdom located near Surakarta City (Central Java) not in East Java. In fact, in our daily life, the communicaty love Wali 9 rather than a king that ruled a kingdom. The way that Wali-9 teach Islam are remembered until now. Maybe, for your next video.

Even tho we not Arab but our faith sometime stronger than people in Arab. I'm from Malaysia btw.

Insha-allah maybe I'll move into that region asap and start a better life Insha-allah 😇🤍🤍🤍

Salam 'Alaykum, JazakAllahu Khayra ya Omar, BarakAllahu Feek, Ma Sha Allah Tabarak Allah

even Philippines used to be Muslim country before European settlers came

Brunei also played an important role in spreading Islam in Borneo and the Philippines

Maybe one of my ancestors in Somalia went to the archipelago to spread Islam. This was great!

I immensely enjoy your content. Very condense & informative. Well done .... Alhamdulillah ... Always looking forward to new content on your channel. I normally do not comment, I just had to give praise where praise is due.

disini guru-guru kami ketika berdakwah dengan cara nabi, dengan memberikan contoh tindakan, apabila ada non-muslim yang bertanya tentang Islam, kami menjelaskan dengan niat "semoga orang ini suatu saat bisa menyelamatkan ku di hari penghakiman". kami sangat menjauhi perdebatan dengan umat non muslim, makanya kami sebenarnya tidak suka dengan cara dakwah di negara barat dengan cara membuka forum perdebatan agama.

Almost 6 centuries from Perlak to Mataram Sultanate, Islam is slowly emerge with the natives of Malaysian and Indonesian modern day. I would like to change the word ACCEPTING Islam to ASIMILATING. If you dig more, culture around this region almost all rooted from Islamic teaching. Another content you should have is about Wali Songo.

Another history class for today. Thanks for this video 👍🏻

Love your naration & presentation style.

Good video. And good explanation. I just want to add some facts here. The kingdoms and the sultanates of Java were founded thanks to a group of ulama called walisongo or the 9 waliyullah. They ware mostly ulamas who ware sent by the ruler of various sultanate or kingdom in the middle east. They were the one who succesfully converted Java to Islam by using Javanaese's culture as a tool of dawah. They also gained so much respect and popularity among Javanese people (which make their dawah easier and bigger) beacuse they tried solve javanese poeple problem at that time such as hunger and internal conflict.

there was an ancient monotheistic (one-god) religion called 'Kapitayan' long ago. So I assume thats why Indonesia and Malaysia easily accepts Islam without bloodshed.

thnx for the channel and effort 🙏🏽

Tq Omar for covering our History

One of the prove that Islam expansion through heart not sword.

My dear Indonesian, Malaysian, singaporean, and Bruneis brother. Please do not let nationality system seperate ourselves. Were actually one. We're of the same race and ethnicity, and mainly brother in Islam which is the highest form of brotherhood. These nationality systems are just an illusionary boundary limit Made by the west to separate what once was a family. "An indonesian is no better than Malaysian nor Malaysian is better than singaporean or Bruneian" as Rasulullah peace and blessings be upon him said. "We are one, we are families, we share the same blood. We are the once great Malayans." Insha Allah one day we'll reunite under one same flag. Allah's Flag. Allahu Akbar. Salam saudara Melayu.

Thanks for your helpful lesson

Thank you brother for a beautiful and reality documentary

Philippines also, but Spanish forced convert them like they did in Andalusia

very informative and well made video as always !

There are also many Moslem in Thailand. Malay Sultanates almost conquered Bangkok but ...British came and helped Thailand.

Proof that Islam spread throughout the world without swords.. Subhanallahu allahuakbar

Thank you brother for this wonderful video about how Islam came to be in Malaysia and Indonesia. I'm from Kedah, Malaysia and one of the first Malay Islamic Sultanate that you mentioned in this video. Kedah and the Kedah Sultanate still exist until this day making it one of the oldest or even the oldest Sultanate that still exist. Kedah is also the birthplace of the oldest known human civilization in South East Asia which is The Kedah Tua Civilization or The Ancient Kedah Civilization at the Sungai Batu Archaeological Site here in Kedah

in malaysia they believe that the emperor of kedah named phra ong mahawangsa was the first sultan in the malay peninsula, the king was converted to islam by sheikh abdullah al-qumairi in 1136, and the king's name was sultan muzzaffar shah.

Your knowledge about nusantara region are so good!

Im no longer a practicing muslim, but i really like your videos and the history you cover. Islamic history is quite fascinating no lie.

the muslim traders really have the big impact during that time.. cuz they are no ribba in their trading system , the kingdoms became interested by following the system too.. and the 2nd is the marriage between the king and queen from different muslim kingdom,, and may be because there's no hierarchy in muslims kingdom ,, the civilians in that time become interested to islam.. and the last thing is art .. from what i learned , there are 9 famous syeikh during the kingdom era in indonesia,, the people call them "wali songo".. wali songo spreading the dawah through the wayang kulit ( traditional puppet show ) and gamelan (traditional music instrument ) by showing the peoples the story of the prophet through it..

Malaysia and Indonesia Pearls of Ummah

Mashallah, you know our history better than ourselves. I didn't know that much before. Thank you for your enlightenment. May Allah bless you. Salam from Indonesia

Very well presented.

you forget about brunei sultanate they need credit to for converting muslim in borneo island and some of Philippines islands if not to spain intervention i thing brunei can make Philippines a muslim

I think you should include southern Thailand as well , about 80-90 percent Muslim population. it was under Sultan before been colonise by thais..proud to be Melayu..

Watching from Philippines. Thanks .

Singapore may be the catalyst for the malay muslim ethnoreligious identity, but today we are dominated by secular chinese. I am the descendant of those who stayed throughout british and japanese occupation. The remaining 14% of the native malay muslims in Singapore.
