1. The arrival of Islam in Malaysia
The absence of a comprehensive document concerning the coming of Islam to Malasyia led to the emergence of various theories about when and from where Islam first spread of this State. Azmi for example, argues that Islam came first to Malasyia since the 7th century AD This opinion is based on an argument that by mid-century, Islamic traders have come to the group of islands wither. Muslim Arab traders who stopped at the Port Commerce Indonesia would also stop at ports Malasyia trade. One of the places of which they are singgahi Kedah, Trengganu, and Malacca.
Another hypothesis put forward by Fatimi, that Islam came first around the 8th century H (14 AD He was holding on to the discovery of inscribed stones at Trenganu dated 702H (1303M). Inscribed stone was written in Arabic script. On a side contain a statement ordered the authorities and the government to hold fast to the beliefs of Islam and the teachings of the Prophet.
In addition, Majul said that Islam first arrived in Malaysia around the 15th century and to-16M. These two arguments both Fatimi and Majul, also unacceptable, because there is strong evidence to show that Islam had arrived long before that, the century-3 H (10 M). This last opinion recited the discovery of the tombstone at Cape Britain, Kedah in 1965. on the tombstone is written the name of Sheikh Abd. Al-Qadir Ibn Hussein Shah who died in 291 H (940 M).
Both Fatini nor Majul does not seem to know about the discovery of the tombstone in Kedah this promontory. And writing about it in the magazine Mastika because the writing was published in 1965 while they study each produced in 1963 and 1964. We can conclude that Islam arrived in Malaysia in the 10th century AD

   1. Penetration or spread of Islam in Malaysia
As is generally known, before Islam came to the ground Malay, Malay people are followers of animism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. However, since his arrival, Islam has gradually started to believed and accepted as a new religion by society Malay Archipelago.

Malaysia's population consists of diverse ethnic and religious. Of the 23 million people the number of Muslims is only 58.6% remaining 18.4% consists of adherents of Buddhist, Christian 6.4% and 5.3% Hindu. However, images and more subtle nuances of Islam. It can be seen from the comparison of a number of countries with a population of Muslims and non-Muslims who are nearly balanced, only Malaysia that provides a lot of pressure on the symbols, institutions and practice of Islam. This can be proved starting from the declaration of the government to revise the national legal system to be more in harmony with Islamic law, the declaration of the government to reconstruct the model and system of the Malaysian economy into a model of Islam, followed by the provision of infrastructure and instusi instusi Islam-such as Bank Islam, Islamic Insurance , Islamic mortgage, the Foundation of Islamic Economics, the formation of the group number of Islamic power, as well as a special group of Islamic rule, and so forth.
Why does Islam feel stronger in Malaysia compared to Indonesia where the population 90% of Bergama Islam? It is caused by a factor of historical development of Islam which has become an integral part of Malay political developments since the time of the Malacca sultanate.
The following will be described in broad outline of the factors in a phase of Malaysia's history starting from the arrival of Islam to the contemporary development of Islam that helped contribute to the strong awareness of Islam in Malaysia.

   1. As a Malay Islamic identity
Islam for the Malays is not only a belief but also has become their identity and become the basis of Malay culture. Malay traditional clothes for example has been adapted to what is recommended by Islam.
Throughout the history of a very close association between Islam with Malay culture and identity is something that is acceptable in general. "Since throw beliefs and embrace Islam Animism dive kingdom of Melaka (15th century), the Nation wilt never change religions. Islam has become an integral part of national identity, history, law, political and cultural entity wither. Therefore, it is not surprising that Islam is considered as a major component of Malay culture, and as a major element of Malay identity.
In the political field of government, there are also conceptual and political thought influenced by the teachings of Islam. So the Malay-based political tradition hindu budha before the arrival of Islam has been replaced by ideas that are inspired by al-Quran and other Islamic sources.
However, due to British colonization, Malay Islamic identity was subject to degradation, because not infrequently the colonial create policies that undermine the function and role of Islam in Malay. Malay land occupiers, the UK has led to the weakening of Islamic values ​​that have been pervasive in the Malay traditional order. Colonialism was tidajk limited economic and political aspects alone but including also the colonial mind and cultures.

   1. Islamic Revival in Malaysia
Islamic Revival in Malaysi visible efforts on Malaysian Muslims to practice Islam more seriously as active prayers in congregation at the mosque, attending lectures wirid, be careful in buying food in order not consumed in an unclean, wear Muslim clothing that characterizes ketaaatan as a Muslim. This occurred in the 1970s and reached the peak in the 1980s.
Furthermore, government efforts to raise the broadcasting of Islam and is also seen from its efforts to build a mosque. Not a few number of mosques and mosque that was built and facilitated even programs coordinated by the government. Islam also developed a broadcasting business conducted by bodies such as the Foundation of Islamic da'wah. The Foundation was established in January 25, 1974 is aimed at:

   1. Organizing and coordinating the activities of regeneration Da'i Da'wah
   2. Improving the quality of Islamic da'wah
   3. meyatukan energy and mind and develop a strong and orderly sequence to carry out jihad, upholding the welfare and eradicate kemungkaran
From the description above we can conclude that one factor causes the strong ethos of Islam in Malaysia because of Islam into the political kepanggung Malaysia, but it is also caused by berkelindannya mutual relationship between Islam and kemalayuan since the days of empire. Islam is not only a religion but also recognized as an identity. What really helped raise the position of Islam in Malaysia is the support of the Islamic State. Only a few Muslim countries in the world that went so far as Malaysia in its efforts to utilize state power nTo implement the provisions of Islamic teachings in the life of the Muslims.
