Abstract:
In the fifteenth century, the Malacca Empire emerged
as the centre of Islamic civilization in the Malay Archipelago. The history had
been recorded in Sulalat Al-Salatin, an important literary source about the
genealogy of all Kings in Malacca. The objective of this study was to analyze
the understanding of sayings from Prophet Muhammad among Malays in Malacca
during the fifteenth century through all of the hadith quoted in Sulalat
Al-Salatin. This study used content analysis methodology to validate the
sayings where all of them were critically analyzed and compared with the
classical hadith sources from prominent Muslim scholars. As a result, only two
out of the four quotations were considered as authentic sayings of Prophet
Muhammad. This study also showed the importance of the palace as the centre of
the Islamic education system and the role played by Muslim preachers from
outside of Malacca to propagate Islam in Malacca.
