Abstract

Using the historical and comparative method, this study deals with the spread of Islam in the Malay world, especially in the Indonesian archipelago, and the influence of native culture on the development of Malay culture and literature. The Malay world before the arrival of Islam was totally influenced by Hindu and Buddhist cultures and religions. The blending of indigenous religions and customs with Indian culture was created special culture and civilization in these areas. With entering Islam, the natives of this region accepted Islam without completely abandoning their beliefs and deeds. Accordingly, a context for the influence of native culture on the development of Islamic culture and literature was provided. Accepting Islam, a number of Hindu monarchies continued to their survival in the Islamic period. Also, the system of education and literature of the pre-Islamic period influenced the Islamic period.
