🪼 Indonesia Converted To Islam

Indonesian people can accept the existence of Islam well. There are six channels of Islamization in Indonesia, namely: trade, marriage, Sufism, education, arts and culture, and politics. Third In 1605 the ruler of Gowa in southern Sulawesi (Celebes) converted to Islam and subsequently imposed Islam on neighboring rulers. Muslim missionaries were sent from the north coast of Java to Lombok, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan until the late seventeenth century. How Islam came to dominate Indonesia Unlike other parts of the world, Islam spread in Southeast Asia without a major conquest. When and what methods did Islam come to Indonesia? Were the original religions treated similar to how Christians were treated in the conquests of Roman Empires in the 700's? history conversion Share Improve this question Follow edited Jan 3, 2021 at 12:49 goldPseudo ♦ 12.3k 16 57 129 asked Dec 30, 2020 at 3:52 Peter Turner 163 8 2 Islam in Indonesia Contributed by Prof. Dr. Nazeer Ahmed, PhD Modern Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. Together with Malaysia and the Philippine islands, this area is home to over 250 million Muslims. Ricklefs (1991) identifies two overlapping processes by which the Islamisation of Indonesia occurred: (1) Indonesians came into contact with Islam and converted, and (2) foreign Muslim Asians (Indians, Chinese, Arabs, etc.) settled in Indonesia and mixed with local communities. In 2022 Indonesian governmental statistics, 87.02% of Indonesians identified themselves as Muslim (with Sunnis about 99%, [20] Shias about 1% [21] and Ahmadis 0.07-0.2%), [9] 10.49% Christians (7.43% Protestants, 3.06% Roman Catholic ), 1.69% Hindu, 0.73% Buddhists, 0.03% Confucians and 0.04% others. According to historian M.C. Ricklefs, legends describe the conversion of rulers to Islam in coastal Malay regions as a "great turning point" marked by miracles (including the magical circumcision of converts), the confession of faith, and adoption of Arabic names. If numbers can tell a story, the conversion to Islam of the peoples of the Indo-nesian archipelago can be counted as a great success. Even if the official statis-tics claiming that 90% of Indonesians today are Muslim are somewhat exag-gerated or ill defined, it is clear that Islam has taken strong root in the region kvcE7.
