Abstract
The article discusses Buddhism and Islam, which are currently main world religions in the region of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Among main religions like Hinduism, the spread of these religions also had its own characteristics, in contrast to the processes that took place in other countries, although the Islamization of the region has continued for decades, even centuries, and the region has not seen Arab military action.
The spread of Islam in the region of Southeast Asia, it developed under the influence of the religions that existed there, and over time began the process of syncretization with the customs of other surrounding religions. It is noteworthy that at the time of the penetration of Islam, the population accepted it not as a foreign religion, but as a pre-existing belief.
