Summary:Islamic Education in Malaysia began as an informal institution in its early days. This is because of the nature of development during those times, where some places such as surau, mosque and madrasah became centre for teaching the aspects of the religion.

This paper will also discuss the development of the formal system that is established for educating the religion to the people.
