 History
Muslim southeast asia literature was
begin from Arabic world literature that
has been translated to several languages
and published in several southeast asia
countries. The religion itself has been
spreaded from trader, merchant, etc
during world war II period.

Arabic, a language whose significance for
Muslim people and communities cannot be
exaggerated because of its relationship
with divine revelation and the Prophet
Muhammad, entered the region and
significantly influenced and altered local
languages in which the literary works
were transmitted and retold.
 In examining the literary networks, Arabic is broadly described as the source of
new narratives, ideas, beliefs, scripts, linguistic forms, and literary genres that
were mostly shared by Muslims throughout a linguistically and culturally varied
Southeast Asia. These aided in the development of a shared storehouse of
memories, pictures, and meaning, which in turn cultivated a sense of trans-local
community belonging. The adoption and adaption of an Arabic world literature into
Malay, Javanese, Bugis, Achehnese, and other Southeast Asian languages entailed
change, innovation, and ingenuity.

lectures at Al Azhar University, Cairo City. Fahri is known to be simple, has good morals, and adheres to Islamic
teachings. His obedience was quite visible in his behavior. In fact, when Fahri had to interact with the opposite

 One day, Fahri has to stay in prison. He was slandered for raping a woman he never did. Fahri remained patient
while looking for a solution by praying to his God through worship in prison.
In prison, Fahri continues to study. His teacher was a professor of economics who was imprisoned because he
often made scathing criticism. Not only that, Fahri received a trial, namely an offer to bribe related parties so
he could be released from prison. At one time he was even tempted to testify falsely. But faith confirms him to
continue to act according to Islamic teachings. Finally, a way out came and made Fahri free from punishment.
People who previously gave false testimony, are willing to reveal the true facts.
