| Summary: | The topic on the coming of Islam to the Malay world has become an
intellectual debate among scholars around the world for both Muslim
and Western scholars. There are at least four elements of debate on
these issues, in particular, on the originality of Islamic doctrines in
the Malay world, the theory of the coming of Islam to the Malay
world, the times of the coming of Islam as well as the spreading of
Islam in the Nusantara. This research will be on attempt in
explicating Abdullah bin Nuh’s works particularly in his discourses
of the coming of Islam to the Nusantara. It focuses on three works by
Abdullah bin Nuh, entitled Sejarah Islam di Jawa Barat hingga
Zaman Keemasan Banten, Ringkasan Sejarah Wali Songo, al-Islām
Fi Indūnīsiyyā, and his articles delivered in the Seminar on The
Advent of Islam in Indonesia held in Medan in 1963. The approach of
this study is based on textual analysis, using descriptive, analytical
methods from various works of the subject under study, comparison
and contrast in order to get additional information from the other
ulama’ in the same era as Abdullah bin Nuh. This study concludes
that Abdullah bin Nuh believes that Islam came to Nusantara in
particular to Indonesia since 7th century CE even though there is a
claim that says Islam came much earlier from the Arab Peninsula
plus encounters the theory most of Western scholars who view that
Islam came in 12th century CE.
