Summary
Islam is the official religion practiced in Malaysia. Islam has long been established in Malaysia. There are many theories about the advent of Islam in the archipelago that have been discussed by scholars since the 1960s (Noor, 2011: 30). Islam believed to have reached the archipelago in the eleventh century through preachers from Parsi, India and Arabian (Ahmad, 2007: 41). Since the beginning of the advent of Islam in the archipelago, the Syafi’i school is the earliest sect introduced and has firmly established (Majid, 2003: 3). The development and establishment of the Syafi'i School in this country is in line with the development of Islam in the region as a result of the efforts of the missionaries who came here and this is a history to be proud of because it has changed the region to the Islamic region ('Abdullah & Jihatea, 2007: 104)
