MELAYU ISLAM BERAJA: THE MALAY ISLAMIC MONARCHY IN NBD PRIOR TO 1906

The Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) which became the nation's offical concept in 1984 has fundamentally manifested before 1906. MIB elements from 1368 since the Islamisation of Awang Alak Betatar, until 1906 can be traced in terms of the existence and role of race, language, Islam, monarchy, customs and law. In terms of race and language, it is evident that Malay, as one of the MIB components before 1906, has emerged over tens of thousands of year ago. The eminence of Islam was not only supported by the Sultans of Brunei until 1906 but also gained solid cooperation from the preachers and the local people untilit became a way of life for the Brunei people. The Sultans of Brunei before 1906 also played a role in strengthening and expanding the customs of the people of Brunei until they became part of the MIB elements of this period.
