I think you have missed that role of Tamil Muslim merchants from Malabar and Coramandal Coast. According to legend Mara silu converted by preacing from Sufi saint from Port city of kayalpattanam.
= Has the largest Muslim population in the world = Has the most statues of Jesus in the world (2 of them are in top 10 tallest) = Has the largest Buddhist temple in the world = Has an island which is the largest Hindu population. As an Indonesian... I think it is MASTERPIECE.
too bad American plague called racism, poisoned the majority believers (muslims). As a muslims myself am sad that this country is consumed by hating each other...
As an Indonesian Muslim, it needs to be repeated and emphasised: Indonesia is NOT an "Islamic country", it's a Muslim-majority country. There's a difference.
As our first President says "If you're a Christian, don't be a westerner. If you're a Hindu, don't be an Indian. If you're a Buddhist, don't be a Chinese. If you're a Muslim, don't be an Arab. Be Indonesian!". Thank you for bringing a fresh point of view to our history, and thank you for respecting our culture by not screwing the pronunciation of the name of places or people. It shows how considerate you and your teams are and how much research and work you put into making this video.!
Like Pattaya, it's a containment zone for all the annoying foreigners. The cool foreigners head to the countryside. Only sex tourists and alcoholics visit Bali.
*"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood."* Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
May ESA Al Masihi convert all moslems nations overnight in REPENTANCE during the LAST DAYS... for there are many BELIEVE IN YESHUA BUT SUPRESSED by Muhamadan and practice Redemption UNDERGROUND. May GOD of ISRAEL STRIVE, AMEN
How Indonesia Became the Largest Muslim Country? 1. Through trade 2. The King and elites convert first, so people who followed them will convert to Islam 3. Islam is easy to understand and suit for common people, such as believe in one God, no caste, no need sesajen (offering) to idols.
Thats how schools and islamic schools teach you in fact they dont even let you know how actually islam is spread in the archipelago really is.. Trade /as for islamic strategy (ottoman) to spread to other nations taking examples of the chinese success to influenced other kingdoms by trade later political thats how islam set foot into the lands Later by preaching or shiar islam/dakwah with the advantage of the current kingdoms freedom of religions since buddhist and hinduism coexist at the time. After convincing other state lords or nobles to convert into islam then islamization begain to spread in every kingdoms and land and forcing its influence to the nations replacing the existed hindu-buddha Introduce peacefully? Yes political trade but it spreads by sword There are thousands events thats involving of blood shed by islam to turn the nation into islamic state/kingdomship and many also fight to rejects islam The fall of majapahit (much of them move to bali and making it stronghold) The massacre of batak people in converting them into islam The toraja massacre for rejecting islamic law and convertion And the failed attempt to convert the minahasa people after refusing to pay tribute to the sultanate and refused to convert into islam later lost the war and thus making the minahasa tribes to united taking posses of the former conquered lands by the sultanate up until now Fact that because of the this diversity the Indonesian government agrees that the nation is not a islamic nation or by islamic sharia law Although it is muslim majority Fact that most of eastern Indonesia is Christian majority
Through the war too. I have read that Banten sultanate had launched an invasion to Hindu-wiwitan, Padajaran Kingdom in west Java. The last Padjajaran king, Siliwangi, was the grandfahter of the first Bantenese Sultan. To avoid further bloodshed between family he fled to Halimun-Salak mountain and dissapeared there. His kingdom were taken by his grandson. Thus marked the Bantenese time to rule the Sunda realm. The story is almost the same with Majapahit whose dethroned by Demak sultanate. The first Demak sultan was the son of the last Majapahit king through his Chinese muslim wife from Champa, Vietnam. After the death of the last king, the remnants of Majapahit nobility who refuse to Embrace Islam fled to Bali.

Islam in general is under cultural attacks constantly, you'll always find people who say such things, just bear in mind to always correct the information when you can and don't be affected by misinformation, always check for yourself and if possible help others learn too, that's all @@ahmadmasalumeambo6051
Islamic syncretism in Indonesia is very interesting, such as the enduring Javanese tradition of making Tumpeng, rice "mountain" that is made during special ocassions such as when moving houses or the birthday of a child, with Islamic prayers to Allah, instead of offering them to local gods
As we believe, religion and culture isn't the same, but they're also not always contradictory to each. It's not exactly syncretism, more like a culture mixing that sprouts out of both religion and older cultures.
And its a good get together as we say prayers for God and at the same time, celebrate major things. It was even brought over by the Javanese migrants to Singapore, Malaysia and IDK maybe Suriname too? And its a very family affair. Islam is simple but people always made it difficult.
so-called "peaceful"ness of indons is merely a facade. this country is barely functioning, the reason why we're not balkanized is because we're just too lazy or find strange comfort in our dysfunctional country. if you actually know the discourse between each group everyday, everyone secretly resent each other, there's just too many of us to have a unifying voice to make an impactful revolution, but for those who care they engage with conflicts daily.
@@st4r444 yes thats pure austronesian culture, much like the polynesians. however, since we are a part of the southeast asia region and close with 2 giant civilization of india and china, we were influenced by them much like the mainland southeast asian, and i dont consider them as foreign, just like greco roman culture influenced and being adapted by all european region.

@@SidMajors dutch only mistake is strengthening islamic influence in the javanese. they view it as some sort of ideology to fight the oppressor and bs stuff like that. but the javanese themselves are pretty greedy so maybe theyre damned in the first place.
Nice video! My wife is Indonesian and it's really easy to see the animist roots in their culture. They commonly talk about ghosts like it was a well known fact of life and 80% of their cinema, which is quite productive, is horror movies.
Salam to all Indonesians. Indonesia reminds me of brazil in that it is its own cultural sphere. Indoesians are some of the most devout and friendliest muslims you will meet. all good for Indonesia
Ohh... There's a lot of mystical folklore surrounding the Muslim figures in the past. There's one that is less known that I learned from my friend (he went to an Islamic boarding school for highschool). According to him, some people believe that there used to be a man-like man eating creature that's immortal living in the forest. One day, an ustad (kinda like pastor) decided to end the terror by slicing the creature's limbs and putting them in different places. I forgot the details but that's the gist of it. But yes, that's one of the many local Muslim folklore

Love Indonesia from Somalia,🇸🇴 we are 100% Muslim without a single Muslim army stepping foot in somalia. We practiced a Monotheistic religion before the prophet Muhammad called waaqism and immediately accepted the final prophet Muhammad peace be upon him even before the prophet migrated to medina, before many of the prophet's closest tribesmen converted. There is a mosque in northern Somalia with Jerusalem and makkah as its prayer direction, the first Muslim prayer direction was towards Jerusalem, before it was changed to mecca. This was very early on the prophet hood of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him . The mosque was built by the first Muslim migrants to abbysinia,the companions of the prophet during the first hijra.

Mataram Islam Kingdom was weird. They claimed that: 1. their ancestor was saint, Syarif Maulana Malik Ibrahim or Sunan Gresik; 2. their other ancestor was survivor from Majapahit; 3. their other ancestor was "bidadari"/kinnari/heavenly maid, Nawangwulan; 4. the founder of the family married the mystical Queen of the South Sea, Ratu Kidul. Since in the Islamic era you could no longer claimed as the manifestation of the gods (devaraja), they incorporated local belied to legitimize their sovereignty.
Traditionally Islamic Mataram Kingdom first king is Panembahan Senopati, adopted son of Sultan Hadiwijaya of Pajang (Jaka Tingkir). But to legitimate their rule in Java they use spiritual one with Panembahan Senopati spiritual wife is Nyi Rara Kidul (Ruler of South Sea), to strengthen Islamic influences by adopting title of Sultan from Ottoman like Prabu Hanyakrakusuma (Known as Sultan Agung), and by lineage by marriage of Panembahan Hanyakrawati with daughter of Bondan Kejawen (one of last Majapahit noble lineage)
Slightly unrelated, but other regions in Indonesia, also have weird claims. For example, in West Sumatra (Home to the Minangkabau people), they claim that they are the descendants of Alexander the Great.
@@CalvinNoirethat's just a bs claim, never heard a Minangkabau said that they're Alexander's descendent lol. but Islamic Mataram really claims that they're sacred to legitimize their sovereignty which is bs. maybe one of the reason of this is because the Javanese still believe in myths from their previous beliefs. (sorry for my bad english)
@@exanbsll "It started with a cunning Indian guy. This is going to be quite a long story, so please bear with me. It started with an Indian guy that went by localized name of Marah Silu. He saw good business opportunity in the northern tip of Sumatra. In 13th century, sailors and merchants from West Asia and Egypt that sailed to China needed a port to wait for trade winds in busy Malacca strait. He traveled from Gujarat and setup his entrepot in Pasai, far north of Sumatra. He called his port Samudra, means ocean in his own language He made good business there, mainly because he was a muslim and therefore gained the trust of the mainly muslim traders. He then proclaimed himself as King of Samudera Pasai, the first Islamic Kingdom in Sumatra. Back then, to be a legitimate king you need to claim some supernatural origin, just like the king of Hindu kingdoms in Java claimed that their ancestor were born from the seed of Shiva or Vishnu. Being muslim, obviously he can not claim divine ancestry. However, being Gujarati he knows that he came from the place where Alexander the Great's conquest ended. Where he came from, every Tom, Dick, and Harry claimed as descendant of the great conqueror. So there. We had Marah Silu a.k.a Sultan Malikussaleh, the first sultan of Samudra Pasai, descendant of Alexander the Great. A great king he became, and Samudra Pasai was recorded as one of the greatest kingdom of Sumatra, from where the island herself got her name. Fast forward to 15th century. Samudra Pasai was declining, but Malacca on the peninsula, the other side of the strait, was rising. The kings of Malacca copied the supernatural origin of Samudra's kings. So now, they also, are descendant of Alexander the Great despite never have stepped their foot in Gujarat. This tradition continues. All the kings of Aceh and Melayu, despite being Malay, claimed as descendant of Alexander the Great. The mountain people of Minangkabau, deep in the hinterland of Sumatra was also in the process of creating Pagarruyung, their mythical Kingdom. This people does not have their own great kingdom. But, they just learned that carrying a long letter from a supossedly great king of Pagarruyung smoothen their travel experience a lot. So they invented their great kingdom and a king need an origin story. They need this story, too. They learned the story of Alexander from the Acehs coming from west coast and the Malaccan coming from the east coast. The rest is history, or as the Minangkabau called it, Tambo. Source: various, mostly from being Minang myself and obsessed with logical explanation of our silly origin stories."
@@exanbsll That's the story! It's fascinating how a story grows and develops. Of course, this story isn't believed in the modern day, it is more viewed like a legend of sorts.
20:43 Interestingly enough, East Timor only became majority catholic when the indonesians invaded in 1975. Despite portuguesse attempts, most timorese were animists until the indonesian occupation as the indonesian government only recognized 5 religions and that didn't include local religions and animism, which drove the local population to mass convert to catholicism.
Actually no, mostly eastern part of Indonesian are majority Christian; Catholic, and Protestant. East Timor, East Nusatenggara, North Sulawesi, and South Papua are majority catholic, so it has no correlation between Indonesian Colonialism, sine they already convert to catholic before Indonesia colonialism.
@@johnthiam2446, it's still not Atheistic, which Soeharto intended to do anyway since he saw that Atheism is inherently Communistic. And Soeharto disliked (political) Islam until early 1990s when Soviet Union disbanded and the (largely secular but Catholic-Influenced) Army saw that Soeharto ruled for far too long.
there's a story, that some Walis, or we call here as Walisongo spreads Islam through cultures like wayang or shadow puppets, gamelan or instruments, and dance. They also didn't prohibit old customs like offerings to the Hindu gods, but modify it that the offerings which is mostly food to be eaten together , and the mantras that were spelled during the ritual for the Hindu gods, to be replaced by praying to Allah and praise to Prophet Muhammad, we call it Syukuran.
Many people weren’t shiva Buddhist in full and had many ideas of Kejawan and Kepitayan which made it easy to transition to the two religions. Kapitayan is heavily dominated in south east Asia until today in terms of influence and why Islam is a major religious force.
its good u guys still maintained your custom and tradition. In malaysia, most malay alrdy started to forgo their tradition and deem it haram. All of them busy being arab nowadays.
@@johnthiam2446 This is false most Malays have not forgone their tradition. You might be confusing the term Malay ethnicity (who are extremely supportive of Islam and Malay culture) vs Malay race (which about 20% of the total Malaysian population are made off due to cultural assimilation) about half a million of these Malays are Arabs, another group that are considered Malays are “malaynised aboriginals” who have a different culture thus syncretism the two. Those who are non Malay ethnically deem certain cultural practises from Malays either haram or non-acceptable to their cultural syncretism. For example: KDM Muslims who are often Shaefi-Sufi are extremely against FGM which is practised by Kelatanese Malay (Shaefi-Whabbi Muslim) as culture procedure and justified by religion. These cultural practises for example are seen as haram
I heard one from my tribe (Sasak) recently. The interesting thing is that there's different versions of it, and it's only one of them that has a muslim figure in it, while the rest seems to be more like a Hindu story. So it might be that these stories are altered versions of an older one derived from the Hindu faith. In Sasak legend, it's the Legend of Mt. Rinjani.
@@Dfathurr Since Indonesians love to listen to such stories, the Walisongo were actually geniuses in spreading Islam through culture, work, and even politics.

Funny story the philippines also could have been muslim , but the spanish occupation stopped the spread of islam to the most southern island . And christinized the rest
What I heard was that there was a significant Muslim population amongst the indigenous Filipinos (and Manila was derived from "Min" and "Allah" meaning city of God) but the Spanish eventually quashed this.

That's why I pay for RUclips, your documentaries are incredible K&G, sometimes I recommend to my companions here in Brazil the videos on this channel that show both sides of the story, along with information, details, documents and more, I feel that the history content here in my country, Brazil, does not have the secularism and informality that your channel has, and one of the few things that this video tells us is that we cannot blame the expansion of a faith on one factor, but rather analyze the social and human context of the environment, I hope to see more documentaries like this in the future, and taking the opportunity to collect more episodes about the Islamic expansion of the Iberian Peninsula, Central Asia and India.
For those who debate whether Islam was spread by the sword or not, please understand that most conflicts are based on politics, wealth, prosperitym natural resources or land, while nationalism and religion are generally used as tools to legitimize or justify these war, invasion, or any kind of conflicts. Both Islam and Christianity benefited from war and conquest, this was a normal and commonplace thing in the past, even normal interactions between two countries were generally not free from the sword. As for Southeast Asia, conflicts rarely occur in this region because natural resources and food are abundant, even Austronesians avoided inhabit the islands that were already inhabited by Melanesians, the earlier ethnic group in SEA and Australia, so lack of conflict can facilitate spread of Islam, trade and commerce become main facilitator for spread of islam.
I agree with most of what you said for example in the early Islamic caliphate, which was led by the prophets companions and early Muslims were not actually for the sole purpose of spreading the religion of Islam , but the religion spread as a result of winning thoes wars that were caused because of a long-standing, political and economic tension that stretched back even before the emergence of the religion of Islam for example the rashidian caliphate wars against the romans and Persians (which lead to the fall of the Persian empire and the spread of Islam outside Arabia,), were mainly out of political and economic reasons especially the economic since it’s linked to the silk Road , both romans and persians had detrimental effect on the trade of mecca which flourished after the shutdown of the North Silkroad, because of the tension between the Romans and Persian in the area (which allowed Arabs to open the Southern silk Road) Both romans and pesians supported different parties to control the silk road trade in arabia yemen(supported by the persians) and Abyssinia( supported by romans) the Yemenis for example were very brutal, they famously commited a ganocide in the city of najran against arab christians who allowed trade with the Romans( representing the Persians interests,) and the Abyssinians tried to attack the city of mecca to drive away their influence on other arab cites in arabia so the political background was very very intense even before the emergence of islam , and it wouldn’t come as a surprise that once the Arabs got united because of islam they would not accept the trade to be interfered in or not being able to trade the way they like it, so this led to wars which consequences were naturally the spread of Islam outside Arabia this is true about the first Islamic caliphate which was led by the prophet companions they didn’t go into wars for no real purpose and their position is very important to me, at least as a Muslim because they are supposed to be the people who understood Islam in its true form since they learned from the prophet himself I don’t know much about the later Islamic empires and the reasons of wars that lead to the spread of Islam Consequently, but it’s not important to me because they’re just regular people they don’t affect the core of the religion itself or its values , it would have been detrimental if it came from the prophet companions, but it didn’t .
Just a minor correction The prophet companions actions definitely means alot but they’re humans after all so their understanding of religion have the possibility of flaw as well as correctness , so we can always discuss and agree or disagree with what they did after the prophet passing It’s important to note that for muslims The companions are not the main source where we take teachings of islam from , because they have the possibility of imperfection always that’s not the same with the main sources ( the quran and the prophet)
Businessmen and traders from Yemen, particularly from Hadramaut, played a significant role in spreading Islam to the Indonesian archipelago. By bringing the Islamic teachings and practices to the region. Their influence and efforts had a profound impact on the adoption of Islam in Indonesia.
The strange thing about Indonesia, as the largest Muslim-majority country, is that it has Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. In India, the largest Hindu-majority country, there is the Taj Mahal, one of the largest mosque relics.
I love indonesian muslim, they have unique tradition which combined their folk value to honoring nature and ancestors with islam. This maybe came from the influence of Hindu and Buddhist before. You can find a lot of unique muslim culture in indonesia and very different than in MENA. Also Indonesia is not conquer by islamic force, they adopted islam value willingly and implementing it to their lifestyle
Too bad they couldn't replicate anything as glorious as Majapahit, Srivjijaya or Sailendra Empires of the pre-Islamic period. Indonesians are just a bunch of Facebook/Tiktok addicts today sadly.
That's a lie, don't trust them. When a Hindu temple was constructed in UAE , they were abusing Hindu's and calling it disgrace at the same time they want all non Muslim country to be secular and build mosque for them. They are dumb and hypocrite!!
As an Indonesian guy, i pray to Allah if He Allows me to enter Jannah i will kiss the forehead of the people who invite my ancestor to Islam. Insya Allah.

My friend that is in essence the message of our religion. To be believe in the creator that brought us into existence and who does not resemble in any shape or form his creations. To understand that our life carries meaning in our daily actions and consequences, now, later in life, or in the hereafter. Toward the eventual demise of our life, we should strive to live in harmony and peace. That was the teachings of our prophet Mohammed PBUH. May God protect Indonesia from the modern fitnas and the extremist ideologies which are not our religion brought on by so-called groups like IS*S.
It's good that you didn't just repeat the cliche and incorrect theory that Indonesia was Islamized by Arabs, Indians, or Gujaratis. We've known for a long time that the most significant influence in the Islamization of Southeast Asia was China. This has been significantly downplayed by both Indonesian and Western historians. Islam arrived from the North, not the West. One thing you left out was the influence of Dutch. Because the Portuguese had the goal of spreading Catholicism (while the Dutch didn't have the goal of proselytising) this enabled the Dutch to undercut the Portuguese and make alliances with Muslim Sultanates. This enabled the spread of Islam in Sulawesi for example (The Sultanate of Gowa was established in 1605, before that the pagan leader was going to convert to Catholicism). And also East Java (Blambangan) and Lombok were under Balinese/Hindu influence for hundreds of years until the Dutch assisted.
First Islam community indeed came from arab, persian, indian muslim that trade along the coast and established community there. There was even a letter wrote by Srivijaya ruler in 8th century for Caliph at the time to send teacher of Islam . I doubt on how big influence of an individual eunuch could make for a large imperial like China even though he also a muslim, but indeed he have a part for sure. All of that theory of course mixed each other and its become factor that make Islam possible to spread in Indonesia.

Im not Indonesian but I am ethnically a Malay from Singapore. So its safe to say I have some ancestry coming from Java and Indonesia. I am so grateful that Islam spread the way it did to Indonesia and then to Malaysia. Our forefathers used to be Hindus and Buddhists. Put it simply, we were idolaters. But Islam came and saved us from the misguidance of idolatry and brought us back to the straight path of the worship of One God. Alhamdulillah for Islam. I am proud to be a muslim.

Great video, really explains in depth how Islam arrived and gradually grew there. One thing I want to mention is that you presented Islam and Sufism as if there was some distinction between them. Sufism is a core part of islam and represents spiritualism. There are no differences when it comes to venerate saints etc. Sufism was more of a reality without a title. Appreciate the work effort put into this video! Keep it up.
Largest muslim population NOT largest Muslim Country. Please be mindful..... (apart from Aceh Special Autonomous Region). I'm a Muslim and i don't want my christian, catholics, Hindu, Buddha, Taoisme, even the ones who do not spiritualistic brothers and sisters think that they are not part of this country.

Islam was not spread by the sword, it is haram to force someone to become Muslim through threat of violence or death. Islamic empires spread through the sword sure, but the religion itself was spread organically through trade, missionaries, etc.
Let's just say that there are some extreme people who cannot give up haram habits. Saying so because this kind of thing is still happening in south asia to this day.

According to Suma Oriental Portuguese dated 1511 the Arab, Turk, Persian, China, Bengal the Moor merchants took the northern coastal of Java by cunning and established an Islamic kingdom in northern Java, they eradicated many Javanese locals and brought their own kind to the northern coastal of Java. This knowledge is from Javanese Buddhists and the Tome Pires the writer of Suma Oriental makes a note on that history. Meanwhile by the time Tome Pires in Java he witnessed the Moors kingdom northern Java fought the inlander Javanese Buddhist kingdom Majapahit Daha the Maha Raja which is now located in Kediri province that was backed by Malacca Sultanate. It's never by peace like Indonesians have always mentioned.
@@davidivory3234 well i cant say this innacurate but more likely not entirely peace,islam already settled in indonesia around 7 or 8 century mostly on beach region such as Barus north sumatra and gresik which 3 centuries earlier than majapahit itself,but very effectively spread on 12 or 13 century by preacher the time that majapahit power decline,yes there is violence but if you see the method of spreading islam its just not bringing army to conquer a region but gradually converting people and show islam is not that far from your belief thats why indonesian islam has some different thing from those from arab
@@davidivory3234Ive never heard such story from Majapahit writting/record Considering an extremely weak Majapahit from 14th thats only consist of some outcast village can fend off Mongol attack. Its unlikely that some muslim merchant can do such feat during Majapahit's prime Not to mention you say about Sultanate of Malacca with the population of around 40,000~ taking on an Empire of 20 million citizen is quite questionable.

@@davidivory3234 "This knowledge is from Javanese Buddhists." There is a high chance that his record was total bias. Majapahit was already gone since 1478 when the last Majaphit King, Brawijaya, was overthrown by his Hindu subject because the King was allying himself with wealthy Muslim Merchant to fill the kingdom empty treasury caused by civil war. In exchange, the Muslim granted religious freedom by the King. His son, Raden Patah of Demak (back then still a Majapahit Vassal) then invade and destroyed Majapahit remnant in Daha to avenge his father. Raden Patah soon become the first Sultan of Demak. Well, Portuguese also have some conflict with Javanese Muslim so it's natural for them to have biased record against Muslim in Java. I mean, Muslim succesfully driving Portugese out from the Island by conquering Sunda Kelapa port (now known as Jakarta).
Indonesian here. a slight minor correction: 7:49 -> Samudera Pasai not Sumadera Pasai (from sanskrit work Samudera, meaning "Ocean"). and the Founder's name based in our local history book (at least back when i was in the school back then) is "Malik Ul Salih" or "Malikus Saleh" (Acehnese language). there's usually a space there since the name itself came from arabic "Malik Al-Saleh"... both meaning "a Pious Ruler".

0:48 Islamic empires and kingdoms were the ones that spread by the sword Like any state in history... not religion In the Qur'an we find: " There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower."[Al-Baqarah - 256]
Banyak orang bodoh di Indonesia 😂, dikasih islam kaga mau malah bilang " Islam merusak budaya" . Kasihan orang orang dulu yang membuat mereka menjadi muslim,😢😢
Even in the Indian subcontinent the Sufism and Sufi saints were the main catalyst behind the conversion of local hindus to Islam and you can even see many sufi shrines called dargah and idgah across the subcontinent.
And here I thought dargah is a native word of my people's language lol. My ethnic group are native to East and North East Africa and a section of my people practice Sufism and their shrine is called dargah too
Saying Islam is spread by the sword is just untruthful, we fought who denied us to spread the message, not fought who denied it. We wanted real freedom of speech.
100%. "Islam spread by the sword" is the false christian narrative to cover their failures to maintained their skewed religion and atrocities during the different crusades and religious wars and they failed. It is a stupid argument that is only repeated by the ignorant. It is a shame that such a channel would echo it with such imagery as well! If Islam truly spread by the sword, you wouldn't have had many different faiths in the old Islamic empires and kingdoms. Which is the stark opposite to christian kingdoms.
22:08 This image is about the Grebeg Maulud tradition in the Surakarta Sunanate, The last remaining dynasty of the house of Mataram that still have Majapahit Bloodline 😊
House of Panembahan (islamic mataram) doesn't have majapahit blood whatsoever. The moment panembahan senapati and his child elevated themselves as the sole ruler of java. Former majapahit vassals and loyalist like surabaya, tuban and kahuripan (sidoarjo), which, rejected their claims. Thus formed Brang Wetan (Eastern) allience. House of panembahan was seen as a usurper and traitor who brought the last decendant of Rajasa Dynasty (majapahit), The House of Pajang, to its knees. When House of Demak and Pajang ruled java, Java were still able to hold madura, bali, palembang, and south kalimantan under their vassalage, with surabaya, tuban, and Kahuripan supports. Because Demak and Pajang were still widely accepted as the legitimate heir to Rajasa Dynasty. The divide of java became more prominent when Sultan Agung and Amangkurat destroyed the naval culture of java to dust
Indeed, the syncretic nature of Indonesia's Islam can be reflected by the names and naming convention of the people, particularly the Javanese. Around the world, Muslims have adopted names of Arab origins (Muhammad, Abdul Rahman, Hasan, etc) and naming convention (given name + father's name) as part of Islamization, be it the Muslims in India, in Indonesia's neighbour Malaysia, or the ethnic Malays on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. But most Javanese (who form the majority of Indonesia's population) continue to use local names and naming convention (sometimes no last name or surnames). Names like Sukarno, Suharto, Joko Widodo, and Prabowo (yeah, I just listed a few Indonesian presidents) are clearly non-Arab names, but Javanese.
Very similar to us Central Asians. We get a fair share of Mogameds and Fatimas, but also tradition Turkic or Iranian-inspired(due to historically parallel developments) names like Timur, Aygül, Tolui, Rowshan, Shahzoda.
According to Suma Oriental Portuguese dated 1511 the Arab, Turk, Persian, China, Bengal the Moor merchants took the northern coastal of Java by cunning and established an Islamic kingdom in northern Java, they eradicated many Javanese locals and brought their own kind to the northern coastal of Java. This knowledge is from Javanese Buddhists and the Tome Pires the writer of Suma Oriental makes a note on that history. Meanwhile by the time Tome Pires in Java he witnessed the Moors kingdom northern Java fought the inlander Javanese Buddhist kingdom Majapahit Daha the Maha Raja which is now located in Kediri province that was backed by Malacca Sultanate. It's never by peace like Indonesians have always mentioned.
Indonesia became the largest Muslim country through a complex and gradual historical process involving trade, cultural exchange, and local adaptation of Islam over several centuries. Here's a breakdown of key factors: 1. Trade and Early Islamic Influence (7th-13th Century) Arab and Indian Muslim traders began visiting Southeast Asia, including the Indonesian archipelago, around the 7th century. These traders introduced Islam, mainly along coastal trading centers like Aceh in northern Sumatra. Islam spread through peaceful interactions, with Muslim merchants establishing communities and blending Islamic practices with local traditions. Gujarat and Persian influences also played a role, as traders from these regions were instrumental in spreading Islam across the region. 2. The Rise of Islamic Sultanates (13th-16th Century) In the 13th century, Samudra Pasai in northern Sumatra became the first Islamic kingdom in Indonesia. This kingdom prospered through its role in international trade. Islam began to spread more rapidly, especially as more rulers converted, seeing the advantages of being part of a broader Islamic trading network. Major Islamic sultanates emerged in Java (Demak, Mataram), Sumatra (Aceh), and Sulawesi, among other islands. These sultanates helped Islam penetrate deeper into society and replace Hindu-Buddhist influences. 3. Syncretism and Local Adaptation Islam in Indonesia often blended with local beliefs, such as animism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This syncretic form of Islam made it more appealing to the indigenous population. The Wali Songo (Nine Saints) played a significant role in Java, promoting a version of Islam that incorporated local customs and spiritual practices, making it easier for local people to embrace the new religion. 4. Colonial Era and the Spread of Islam (16th-20th Century) Despite European colonization by the Portuguese and Dutch, Islam continued to spread during the colonial period. The Dutch attempted to limit the influence of Islamic leaders, but Islam became a rallying point for anti-colonial resistance. Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) and ulama (religious scholars) helped maintain and spread Islamic teachings, further solidifying the religion’s hold on the population. 5. Post-Independence and Modern Influence After gaining independence in 1945, Indonesia maintained its status as a secular state, but Islam remained the dominant religion, with approximately 87% of its population identifying as Muslim today. Islam in Indonesia has remained largely moderate, with a strong emphasis on tolerance and pluralism, though there have been rising currents of conservative and fundamentalist movements in recent decades. In summary, the spread of Islam in Indonesia was a gradual process facilitated by trade, peaceful proselytization, the influence of Islamic sultanates, and the religion's adaptability to local cultures.

@@Alpha-lt9zvevery religion, every ideology and every system “discriminates” by default. You might need to check the etymology of that word to see what it means. When you use the toilet, you are discriminating and segregating. Men go to Men’s toilet, women go to women’s toilet. That’s discrimination and segregation. Discriminate means to distinguish one from the other.

there's rising number of converts in west, plenty of muslim leaders as heads of cities and states in west, and it's fastest growing religion on the planet
@@Aksarallah bro with the "fastest growing" "rising number" narrative 😂😂 you can keep telling yourself that, the reality is growing number is because muslim who migrate to europe breed like rabbits, and the number of apostasy is actually quite high for muslim in the west. people who convert online are just those who love clout because they know muslim will celebrate anyone "reverting", mass conversion is non existent and highly sensationalized by news
Hinduism in SE Asia was top down, and rulers were the prime movers Whereas in India Hinduism was independent of political power and decentralised, through Brahmin client patronage and through ascetic traditions. (Buddhism wasn't and it too disappeared from India during invasions) You see larger Hindu temples in SE Asia than in India That is why Hindus remained Hindus in India despite brutal invasion and occupation by Turks and Mughals and persecution Whereas in SE Asia they left Hinduism without any violence, just through trade and proselytisation of rulers
More like that Hinduism only affect mostly on elites. Most local still perform local animism. So when Islam, Buddhism, or even Christianity start spreading, the rulers basically just revert to gain popular support
Many left because of violent aggression, nobody just leave their faith and accept another in large drove. There are two versions on how islam came here and spread in SEA. One version is y traders and the other is jihad against the smaller regional kings, I accept the 2nd version

@@otakufilsuf i think we both agree for the most part on this, as bastait proved, some people attack a person when it comes to debating religion, which is unnecessary, so thank you for being respectful :) the one thing i slightly disagree with would be if i attacked a muslim over islam itself then i would be attacking a person right? as a muslim is a person that follows islam, but apart from that little pedantic part i think we agree 🙂
I always love the history lesson and story from this Kings and Generals Channel. Indonesia is Republic country not Religion Country. Although mostly the population is Islamic, but Government acknowledge 6 religions or beliefs which are Islamic, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. They live in hand by hand and harmony. Not all regions are Islamic, such as Bali mostly is Hinduism. Also, one of the things that made Indonesian people famous is their hospitality, no matter what they religion are.... "Garuda" is the national emblem of Indonesia and national motto is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which means Diversity in Unity, the motto refers to the unity and integrity of Indonesia, a nation consisting of various cultures, regional languages, races, ethnicities, religions, and beliefs.

How Indonesia Became the Largest Muslim Country?
1. Through trade
2. The King and elites convert first, so people who followed them will convert to Islam
3. Islam is easy to understand and suit for common people, such as believe in one God, no caste, no need sesajen (offering) to idols.
The ladt is well... very debatable. No religion reslly suits humans. All if gem go against reality and human nature.
Thats how schools and islamic schools teach you in fact they dont even let you know how actually islam is spread in the archipelago really is..
Trade /as for islamic strategy (ottoman) to spread to other nations taking examples of the chinese success to influenced other kingdoms by trade later political thats how islam set foot into the lands
Later by preaching or shiar islam/dakwah with the advantage of the current kingdoms freedom of religions since buddhist and hinduism coexist at the time.
After convincing other state lords or nobles to convert into islam then islamization begain to spread in every kingdoms and land and forcing its influence to the nations replacing the existed hindu-buddha
Introduce peacefully? Yes political trade but it spreads by sword
There are thousands events thats involving of blood shed by islam to turn the nation into islamic state/kingdomship and many also fight to rejects islam
The fall of majapahit (much of them move to bali and making it stronghold)
The massacre of batak people in converting them into islam
The toraja massacre for rejecting islamic law and convertion
And the failed attempt to convert the minahasa people after refusing to pay tribute to the sultanate and refused to convert into islam later lost the war and thus making the minahasa tribes to united taking posses of the former conquered lands by the sultanate up until now
Fact that because of the this diversity the Indonesian government agrees that the nation is not a islamic nation or by islamic sharia law
Although it is muslim majority
Fact that most of eastern Indonesia is Christian majority
@@cegesh1459no Islam is the one true religion

Through the war too. I have read that Banten sultanate had launched an invasion to Hindu-wiwitan, Padajaran Kingdom in west Java. The last Padjajaran king, Siliwangi, was the grandfahter of the first Bantenese Sultan. To avoid further bloodshed between family he fled to Halimun-Salak mountain and dissapeared there. His kingdom were taken by his grandson. Thus marked the Bantenese time to rule the Sunda realm. The story is almost the same with Majapahit whose dethroned by Demak sultanate. The first Demak sultan was the son of the last Majapahit king through his Chinese muslim wife from Champa, Vietnam. After the death of the last king, the remnants of Majapahit nobility who refuse to Embrace Islam fled to Bali.

Islamic syncretism in Indonesia is very interesting, such as the enduring Javanese tradition of making Tumpeng, rice "mountain" that is made during special ocassions such as when moving houses or the birthday of a child, with Islamic prayers to Allah, instead of offering them to local gods
Sort of same situation also happen in Ternate 😊
They call that Islam Nusantara. Islamic Arabs dont have those.
And now they tried to erase all that and become middle east.
As we believe, religion and culture isn't the same, but they're also not always contradictory to each. It's not exactly syncretism, more like a culture mixing that sprouts out of both religion and older cultures.
And its a good get together as we say prayers for God and at the same time, celebrate major things. It was even brought over by the Javanese migrants to Singapore, Malaysia and IDK maybe Suriname too?
And its a very family affair. Islam is simple but people always made it difficult.

This was very early on the prophet hood of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him . The mosque was built by the first Muslim migrants to abbysinia,the companions of the prophet during the first hijra.

Mataram Islam Kingdom was weird. They claimed that:
1. their ancestor was saint, Syarif Maulana Malik Ibrahim or Sunan Gresik;
2. their other ancestor was survivor from Majapahit;
3. their other ancestor was "bidadari"/kinnari/heavenly maid, Nawangwulan;
4. the founder of the family married the mystical Queen of the South Sea, Ratu Kidul.
Since in the Islamic era you could no longer claimed as the manifestation of the gods (devaraja), they incorporated local belied to legitimize their sovereignty.
Traditionally Islamic Mataram Kingdom first king is Panembahan Senopati, adopted son of Sultan Hadiwijaya of Pajang (Jaka Tingkir). But to legitimate their rule in Java they use spiritual one with Panembahan Senopati spiritual wife is Nyi Rara Kidul (Ruler of South Sea), to strengthen Islamic influences by adopting title of Sultan from Ottoman like Prabu Hanyakrakusuma (Known as Sultan Agung), and by lineage by marriage of Panembahan Hanyakrawati with daughter of Bondan Kejawen (one of last Majapahit noble lineage)
Slightly unrelated, but other regions in Indonesia, also have weird claims.
For example, in West Sumatra (Home to the Minangkabau people), they claim that they are the descendants of Alexander the Great.
@@CalvinNoirethat's just a bs claim, never heard a Minangkabau said that they're Alexander's descendent lol. but Islamic Mataram really claims that they're sacred to legitimize their sovereignty which is bs. maybe one of the reason of this is because the Javanese still believe in myths from their previous beliefs.
(sorry for my bad english)
@@exanbsll "It started with a cunning Indian guy.
This is going to be quite a long story, so please bear with me.
It started with an Indian guy that went by localized name of Marah Silu. He saw good business opportunity in the northern tip of Sumatra. In 13th century, sailors and merchants from West Asia and Egypt that sailed to China needed a port to wait for trade winds in busy Malacca strait. He traveled from Gujarat and setup his entrepot in Pasai, far north of Sumatra. He called his port Samudra, means ocean in his own language
He made good business there, mainly because he was a muslim and therefore gained the trust of the mainly muslim traders. He then proclaimed himself as King of Samudera Pasai, the first Islamic Kingdom in Sumatra.
Back then, to be a legitimate king you need to claim some supernatural origin, just like the king of Hindu kingdoms in Java claimed that their ancestor were born from the seed of Shiva or Vishnu. Being muslim, obviously he can not claim divine ancestry. However, being Gujarati he knows that he came from the place where Alexander the Great's conquest ended. Where he came from, every Tom, Dick, and Harry claimed as descendant of the great conqueror.
So there.
We had Marah Silu a.k.a Sultan Malikussaleh, the first sultan of Samudra Pasai, descendant of Alexander the Great. A great king he became, and Samudra Pasai was recorded as one of the greatest kingdom of Sumatra, from where the island herself got her name.
Fast forward to 15th century. Samudra Pasai was declining, but Malacca on the peninsula, the other side of the strait, was rising. The kings of Malacca copied the supernatural origin of Samudra's kings. So now, they also, are descendant of Alexander the Great despite never have stepped their foot in Gujarat.
This tradition continues. All the kings of Aceh and Melayu, despite being Malay, claimed as descendant of Alexander the Great.
The mountain people of Minangkabau, deep in the hinterland of Sumatra was also in the process of creating Pagarruyung, their mythical Kingdom. This people does not have their own great kingdom. But, they just learned that carrying a long letter from a supossedly great king of Pagarruyung smoothen their travel experience a lot. So they invented their great kingdom and a king need an origin story. They need this story, too. They learned the story of Alexander from the Acehs coming from west coast and the Malaccan coming from the east coast.
The rest is history, or as the Minangkabau called it, Tambo.
Source: various, mostly from being Minang myself and obsessed with logical explanation of our silly origin stories."
@@exanbsll That's the story! It's fascinating how a story grows and develops.
Of course, this story isn't believed in the modern day, it is more viewed like a legend of sorts.
20:43 Interestingly enough, East Timor only became majority catholic when the indonesians invaded in 1975. Despite portuguesse attempts, most timorese were animists until the indonesian occupation as the indonesian government only recognized 5 religions and that didn't include local religions and animism, which drove the local population to mass convert to catholicism.
Actually no, mostly eastern part of Indonesian are majority Christian; Catholic, and Protestant. East Timor, East Nusatenggara, North Sulawesi, and South Papua are majority catholic, so it has no correlation between Indonesian Colonialism, sine they already convert to catholic before Indonesia colonialism.

there's a story, that some Walis, or we call here as Walisongo spreads Islam through cultures like wayang or shadow puppets, gamelan or instruments, and dance. They also didn't prohibit old customs like offerings to the Hindu gods, but modify it that the offerings which is mostly food to be eaten together , and the mantras that were spelled during the ritual for the Hindu gods, to be replaced by praying to Allah and praise to Prophet Muhammad, we call it Syukuran.
Many people weren’t shiva Buddhist in full and had many ideas of Kejawan and Kepitayan which made it easy to transition to the two religions.
Kapitayan is heavily dominated in south east Asia until today in terms of influence and why Islam is a major religious force.
its good u guys still maintained your custom and tradition. In malaysia, most malay alrdy started to forgo their tradition and deem it haram. All of them busy being arab nowadays.
@@johnthiam2446 This is false most Malays have not forgone their tradition.
You might be confusing the term Malay ethnicity (who are extremely supportive of Islam and Malay culture) vs Malay race (which about 20% of the total Malaysian population are made off due to cultural assimilation) about half a million of these Malays are Arabs, another group that are considered Malays are “malaynised aboriginals” who have a different culture thus syncretism the two.
Those who are non Malay ethnically deem certain cultural practises from Malays either haram or non-acceptable to their cultural syncretism.
For example:
KDM Muslims who are often Shaefi-Sufi are extremely against FGM which is practised by Kelatanese Malay (Shaefi-Whabbi Muslim) as culture procedure and justified by religion.
These cultural practises for example are seen as haram

I heard one from my tribe (Sasak) recently. The interesting thing is that there's different versions of it, and it's only one of them that has a muslim figure in it, while the rest seems to be more like a Hindu story.

For those who debate whether Islam was spread by the sword or not, please understand that most conflicts are based on politics, wealth, prosperitym natural resources or land, while nationalism and religion are generally used as tools to legitimize or justify these war, invasion, or any kind of conflicts.
Both Islam and Christianity benefited from war and conquest, this was a normal and commonplace thing in the past, even normal interactions between two countries were generally not free from the sword.
As for Southeast Asia, conflicts rarely occur in this region because natural resources and food are abundant, even Austronesians avoided inhabit the islands that were already inhabited by Melanesians, the earlier ethnic group in SEA and Australia, so lack of conflict can facilitate spread of Islam, trade and commerce become main facilitator for spread of islam.
can't facilitate
I agree with most of what you said
for example in the early Islamic caliphate, which was led by the prophets companions and early Muslims were not actually for the sole purpose of spreading the religion of Islam , but the religion spread as a result of winning thoes wars that were caused because of a long-standing, political and economic tension that stretched back even before the emergence of the religion of Islam
for example the rashidian caliphate wars against the romans and Persians (which lead to the fall of the Persian empire and the spread of Islam outside Arabia,), were mainly out of political and economic reasons especially the economic since it’s linked to the silk Road , both romans and persians had detrimental effect on the trade of mecca which flourished after the shutdown of the North Silkroad, because of the tension between the Romans and Persian in the area (which allowed Arabs to open the Southern silk Road)
Both romans and pesians supported different parties to control the silk road trade in arabia
yemen(supported by the persians) and Abyssinia( supported by romans)
the Yemenis for example were very brutal, they famously commited a ganocide in the city of najran against arab christians who allowed trade with the Romans( representing the Persians interests,)
and the Abyssinians tried to attack the city of mecca to drive away their influence on other arab cites in arabia
so the political background was very very intense even before the emergence of islam , and it wouldn’t come as a surprise that once the Arabs got united because of islam they would not accept the trade to be interfered in or not being able to trade the way they like it, so this led to wars which consequences were naturally the spread of Islam outside Arabia
this is true about the first Islamic caliphate which was led by the prophet companions they didn’t go into wars for no real purpose and their position is very important to me, at least as a Muslim because they are supposed to be the people who understood Islam in its true form since they learned from the prophet himself
I don’t know much about the later Islamic empires and the reasons of wars that lead to the spread of Islam Consequently, but it’s not important to me because they’re just regular people they don’t affect the core of the religion itself or its values , it would have been detrimental if it came from the prophet companions, but it didn’t .
Muhammed himself massacred settlements and towns
why did we fell to islamic and european powers while the mainland southeast asia remained untouched? im jealous
Just a minor correction
The prophet companions actions definitely means alot but they’re humans after all so their understanding of religion have the possibility of flaw as well as correctness , so we can always discuss and agree or disagree with what they did after the prophet passing
It’s important to note that for muslims The companions are not the main source where we take teachings of islam from , because they have the possibility of imperfection always
that’s not the same with the main sources ( the quran and the prophet)

It's good that you didn't just repeat the cliche and incorrect theory that Indonesia was Islamized by Arabs, Indians, or Gujaratis. We've known for a long time that the most significant influence in the Islamization of Southeast Asia was China. This has been significantly downplayed by both Indonesian and Western historians. Islam arrived from the North, not the West.
One thing you left out was the influence of Dutch. Because the Portuguese had the goal of spreading Catholicism (while the Dutch didn't have the goal of proselytising) this enabled the Dutch to undercut the Portuguese and make alliances with Muslim Sultanates. This enabled the spread of Islam in Sulawesi for example (The Sultanate of Gowa was established in 1605, before that the pagan leader was going to convert to Catholicism).
And also East Java (Blambangan) and Lombok were under Balinese/Hindu influence for hundreds of years until the Dutch assisted.
First Islam community indeed came from arab, persian, indian muslim that trade along the coast and established community there. There was even a letter wrote by Srivijaya ruler in 8th century for Caliph at the time to send teacher of Islam .
I doubt on how big influence of an individual eunuch could make for a large imperial like China even though he also a muslim, but indeed he have a part for sure.
All of that theory of course mixed each other and its become factor that make Islam possible to spread in Indonesia.
You’d be amazed how racist Indonesians were pre-90s. It’s not a surprise that they’d remove anything Chinese during the Suharto period.
@@Wolvenworks it was government act, not indonesians act. My late parents said that during sukarno's era (which is pre-90s) there was no restriction regarding to Chinese culture(just like Gus Dur era) and they as non chinese also enjoys it. But of course that racism has its root due to dutch colonial that segregated the society and put the natives below chinese ethnic minority in Indonesia.
@@bpcgos the language and culture was restricted. My grandparents lost their homes because the racist police helped a bunch of crooked bankers who we never dealt with. You only get chinese national holidays after gusdur removed the ban. Even now we’d rather jail a double minority christian chinese governor who can work in favor of a corrupt ex-minister who’d rather pose for the camera than clean the damn river. It’s an open secret that Indonesian politics is still (mostly) biased against anyone not javanese muslim.
Everyone can see that there’s a lack of diversity in the representation, and no one gives a damn because we all got more immediate, banal things to worry about like our bills, but it doesn’t mean we just clam up about it all the time. After all, most of our ministers are usually political appointees, not by their merit (remember Johnny G Plate? I don’t want to either).
@@Wolvenworks didnt that ex governor lost his 2nd term in democratic election process? If people dont choose him again I think there is nothing we can complain because thats democracy like today where military leader during the 98 event can become the next president ...

In exchange, the Muslim granted religious freedom by the King.
His son, Raden Patah of Demak (back then still a Majapahit Vassal) then invade and destroyed Majapahit remnant in Daha to avenge his father. Raden Patah soon become the first Sultan of Demak.

@user-ez6qu4yh3z you are brain washed to believe that stuff but most of the conversion actually happened through Sufis

Saying Islam is spread by the sword is just untruthful, we fought who denied us to spread the message, not fought who denied it. We wanted real freedom of speech.
100%. "Islam spread by the sword" is the false christian narrative to cover their failures to maintained their skewed religion and atrocities during the different crusades and religious wars and they failed. It is a stupid argument that is only repeated by the ignorant. It is a shame that such a channel would echo it with such imagery as well! If Islam truly spread by the sword, you wouldn't have had many different faiths in the old Islamic empires and kingdoms. Which is the stark opposite to christian kingdoms.
God bless our Indonesian brothers and sisters
22:08 This image is about the Grebeg Maulud tradition in the Surakarta Sunanate, The last remaining dynasty of the house of Mataram that still have Majapahit Bloodline 😊
House of Panembahan (islamic mataram) doesn't have majapahit blood whatsoever. The moment panembahan senapati and his child elevated themselves as the sole ruler of java. Former majapahit vassals and loyalist like surabaya, tuban and kahuripan (sidoarjo), which, rejected their claims. Thus formed Brang Wetan (Eastern) allience.
House of panembahan was seen as a usurper and traitor who brought the last decendant of Rajasa Dynasty (majapahit), The House of Pajang, to its knees.
When House of Demak and Pajang ruled java, Java were still able to hold madura, bali, palembang, and south kalimantan under their vassalage, with surabaya, tuban, and Kahuripan supports. Because Demak and Pajang were still widely accepted as the legitimate heir to Rajasa Dynasty.
The divide of java became more prominent when Sultan Agung and Amangkurat destroyed the naval culture of java to dust
Well researched history
Indeed, the syncretic nature of Indonesia's Islam can be reflected by the names and naming convention of the people, particularly the Javanese. Around the world, Muslims have adopted names of Arab origins (Muhammad, Abdul Rahman, Hasan, etc) and naming convention (given name + father's name) as part of Islamization, be it the Muslims in India, in Indonesia's neighbour Malaysia, or the ethnic Malays on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. But most Javanese (who form the majority of Indonesia's population) continue to use local names and naming convention (sometimes no last name or surnames). Names like Sukarno, Suharto, Joko Widodo, and Prabowo (yeah, I just listed a few Indonesian presidents) are clearly non-Arab names, but Javanese.
Islam does not reject local names as long as they have good meaning
Very similar to us Central Asians. We get a fair share of Mogameds and Fatimas, but also tradition Turkic or Iranian-inspired(due to historically parallel developments) names like Timur, Aygül, Tolui, Rowshan, Shahzoda.
@@irbis_rosh I think all non Arab Muslim people have their fair share of native names along with the Arabic ones.
some of them even have hindu names.
According to Suma Oriental Portuguese dated 1511 the Arab, Turk, Persian, China, Bengal the Moor merchants took the northern coastal of Java by cunning and established an Islamic kingdom in northern Java, they eradicated many Javanese locals and brought their own kind to the northern coastal of Java. This knowledge is from Javanese Buddhists and the Tome Pires the writer of Suma Oriental makes a note on that history. Meanwhile by the time Tome Pires in Java he witnessed the Moors kingdom northern Java fought the inlander Javanese Buddhist kingdom Majapahit Daha the Maha Raja which is now located in Kediri province that was backed by Malacca Sultanate. It's never by peace like Indonesians have always mentioned.
Indonesians are loving people, we found Greater love in islam before you guys can imagine

I love Indonesia & Indonesians from Saudi 🇸🇦🇮🇩
Indonesia became the largest Muslim country through a complex and gradual historical process involving trade, cultural exchange, and local adaptation of Islam over several centuries. Here's a breakdown of key factors:
1. Trade and Early Islamic Influence (7th-13th Century)
Arab and Indian Muslim traders began visiting Southeast Asia, including the Indonesian archipelago, around the 7th century. These traders introduced Islam, mainly along coastal trading centers like Aceh in northern Sumatra.
Islam spread through peaceful interactions, with Muslim merchants establishing communities and blending Islamic practices with local traditions.
Gujarat and Persian influences also played a role, as traders from these regions were instrumental in spreading Islam across the region.
2. The Rise of Islamic Sultanates (13th-16th Century)
In the 13th century, Samudra Pasai in northern Sumatra became the first Islamic kingdom in Indonesia. This kingdom prospered through its role in international trade.
Islam began to spread more rapidly, especially as more rulers converted, seeing the advantages of being part of a broader Islamic trading network.
Major Islamic sultanates emerged in Java (Demak, Mataram), Sumatra (Aceh), and Sulawesi, among other islands. These sultanates helped Islam penetrate deeper into society and replace Hindu-Buddhist influences.
3. Syncretism and Local Adaptation
Islam in Indonesia often blended with local beliefs, such as animism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This syncretic form of Islam made it more appealing to the indigenous population.
The Wali Songo (Nine Saints) played a significant role in Java, promoting a version of Islam that incorporated local customs and spiritual practices, making it easier for local people to embrace the new religion.
4. Colonial Era and the Spread of Islam (16th-20th Century)
Despite European colonization by the Portuguese and Dutch, Islam continued to spread during the colonial period. The Dutch attempted to limit the influence of Islamic leaders, but Islam became a rallying point for anti-colonial resistance.
Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) and ulama (religious scholars) helped maintain and spread Islamic teachings, further solidifying the religion’s hold on the population.
5. Post-Independence and Modern Influence
After gaining independence in 1945, Indonesia maintained its status as a secular state, but Islam remained the dominant religion, with approximately 87% of its population identifying as Muslim today.
Islam in Indonesia has remained largely moderate, with a strong emphasis on tolerance and pluralism, though there have been rising currents of conservative and fundamentalist movements in recent decades.
In summary, the spread of Islam in Indonesia was a gradual process facilitated by trade, peaceful proselytization, the influence of Islamic sultanates, and the religion's adaptability to local cultures.

This proves that your religion does not but segregate and discriminate against other people.
@@Alpha-lt9zv You cannot differentiate between religious teachings and the behavior of its followers. Have you read Islamic teaching sources? In what number in the Qur'an or what number in the hadith does it say that?
@@Alpha-lt9zv In your country there are people who discriminate. Does your country's written law teach that? If you want to learn something, prove it yourself by studying the source of the teachings.Not from gossip in the media or ordinary followers
@@Alpha-lt9zvevery religion, every ideology and every system “discriminates” by default. You might need to check the etymology of that word to see what it means. When you use the toilet, you are discriminating and segregating. Men go to Men’s toilet, women go to women’s toilet. That’s discrimination and segregation. Discriminate means to distinguish one from the other. Unless you are delusional to think everyone is exactly the same and everyone is an identical copy of everyone else, then you’re a lost cause anyway.
@Alpha-lt9zv as if other cultures religions and ideologies doesn't 😂
Hey child truth is one and only one.
Really grateful that Islam spread to nusantara.
Will Members-only videos be released for the general public (some day)?
Dunno
@@KingsandGenerals Thanks.
1 day ago, I'm proud to be Indonesian hindus 🤘
hey I am an india hindu
Indonesia being Muslim once again proves that our history is more random than fiction
its sad
Indonesia becoming Muslim is also because of political and even economic/trade ...as if the fate wanted it so ..as if Gods will reigns supreme.
there's rising number of converts in west, plenty of muslim leaders as heads of cities and states in west, and it's fastest growing religion on the planet
@@Aksarallah bro with the "fastest growing" "rising number" narrative 😂😂 you can keep telling yourself that, the reality is growing number is because muslim who migrate to europe breed like rabbits, and the number of apostasy is actually quite high for muslim in the west. people who convert online are just those who love clout because they know muslim will celebrate anyone "reverting", mass conversion is non existent and highly sensationalized by news
@@lainmahashima8211go cry.
15:00 This reminded me of chapter 110 of the Quran (The Victory).

A true educational video, informative, and inspiring. Now I will research more on this region and its connection to Islam.
Hinduism in SE Asia was top down, and rulers were the prime movers
Whereas in India Hinduism was independent of political power and decentralised, through Brahmin client patronage and through ascetic traditions. (Buddhism wasn't and it too disappeared from India during invasions)
You see larger Hindu temples in SE Asia than in India
That is why Hindus remained Hindus in India despite brutal invasion and occupation by Turks and Mughals and persecution
Whereas in SE Asia they left Hinduism without any violence, just through trade and proselytisation of rulers
But hindu still majority in india why
More like that Hinduism only affect mostly on elites. Most local still perform local animism. So when Islam, Buddhism, or even Christianity start spreading, the rulers basically just revert to gain popular support
As was Zioastraonism
Many left because of violent aggression, nobody just leave their faith and accept another in large drove. There are two versions on how islam came here and spread in SEA. One version is y traders and the other is jihad against the smaller regional kings, I accept the 2nd version
Indeed, It is very similar on how the Mongol Ilkhanate/Golden Horde converts to Islam, due to its rulers converting and the rest of the court follows.
Nice video,this is quite rare to see some foreigner mentioned our country and know something about it (well i even doesn't know about the lore of flying and lift mountain).:v
someone : telling history of Indonesia
western christian : i will write hate comment about Muslim
indian hindu : i will write most racist comment about Indonesian
This reminds me of a video called 'Average Estonian VS Indonesian Twitter Argument'
as an atheist you cant be racist to Islam, it is a faith not a race of people, racist to an Indonesian is possible, yes but not Islam itself, i can criticize Christianity, Hinduism and and the rest just as much as Islam and it wont be racist, just a valid question and criticism of a belief system, i wish you a kind day :D
@@BRITJACKREACT i think maybe muslim is the right word. because the one who discriminate is the people.
in my opinion is fine to get discuss or even debate over religion. specially the idea/concept.
but usually people can't difference between the concept and the people.
and usually people will attack the people first rather than the ideas.
@@bastait well, at least i can have a respectful debate about any topic, sorry for touching a nerve there buddy, and disingenuous? how so? and for the record i dont listen to sam harris, i just have my own thoughts about the world, if you wish you have a conversation im more than open to discussion but please refrain from personal attacks, i am a human just like you after all :-) and i dont follow no church of atheism i think that is absolutely hilarious if its true, if anything i would class myself more as a Christian agnostic if i had to be as specific as possible, i was brought up christian in england :) but i have questions that cannot be answered neither by god, nor science so hence, agnostic :-) i wish you a blessed day my friend.
@@otakufilsuf i think we both agree for the most part on this, as bastait proved, some people attack a person when it comes to debating religion, which is unnecessary, so thank you for being respectful :) the one thing i slightly disagree with would be if i attacked a muslim over islam itself then i would be attacking a person right? as a muslim is a person that follows islam, but apart from that little pedantic part i think we agree 🙂
I always love the history lesson and story from this Kings and Generals Channel.
Indonesia is Republic country not Religion Country. Although mostly the population is Islamic, but Government acknowledge 6 religions or beliefs which are Islamic, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. They live in hand by hand and harmony.
Not all regions are Islamic, such as Bali mostly is Hinduism. Also, one of the things that made Indonesian people famous is their hospitality, no matter what they religion are....
"Garuda" is the national emblem of Indonesia and national motto is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which means Diversity in Unity, the motto refers to the unity and integrity of Indonesia, a nation consisting of various cultures, regional languages, races, ethnicities, religions, and beliefs.
Hi excellent video -reminds me of how Islam expanded into Western Nigeria (Yorubaland) through trade with the already Islamized Malians. I hope you can do a video on this (and Islamization of Western Africa by extension) one day.
I'm interested if there's Aldo syncretism in Yorubaland between Islam and Yoruba? No disrespect, I'm genuinely interested to know🙏
southeast asia and subsahara africa are underated muslim regions.
