Abstract


The spread of Islam in Maluku occurred not only in central areas of power but also in the peripheral regions. Based on various ancient Islamic manuscripts, this article examines the contextualization of these manuscripts within the broader framework of Islamization and acculturation with local traditions in the peripheral regions of the Maluku Islands. By combining a field research and literature study with contextual analysis, the article explores the significance of these manuscripts in preserving and transmitting Islamic knowledge, as well as the development of Islam in this region. The research findings indicate that these manuscripts reflect the dynamic interaction between Islamic traditions and local customs in the region. Additionally, the study highlights the textualization of ancient Islamic manuscripts, which contain various Islamic teachings that were contextually adapted to align with local culture. This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the processes through which Islam was integrated into the cultural fabric of the Maluku Islands.
