Abstract

Islam began to establish itself as the religion of both rulers and communities in the Malay-Indonesian world from around 700/1300, with the next three hundred years representing the establishment phase of Islam in the region, prior to the arrival of European colonial powers. The vast majority of extant theological texts dating from this three-hundred-year period originate from the Sultanate of Aceh on the northern tip of the island of Sumatra. If we are to understand theological life and orientation in the pre-colonial Malay world, the Sultanate of Aceh must of necessity be our key focus.
