[ONLINE CLASS] ADIL AY2023 Module 10 • History of Islam in Southeast Asia: Spread of Islam in this Region and Role of Singapore in its Development

Of the estimated 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, about 65 percent live in Asia. Some 250 million Muslims reside in Southeast Asia. While Muslims in this region may be a minority in the Muslim world, their role in shaping the future destiny of Islam is far from peripheral.

This module will explain the geographical origins and sources by which Islam spread to this region, including the factors that helped shaped the content and contours of Islamic life amongst Muslims here. It will look at how religious belief and expression fit with extant and modern political and economic infrastructures.
