| | Mysticism Chapter 9 South East Asian Systems (No. B7_9) |
| | It is clear that by 1281 Islam had made some progress in Sumatra at Malayu as the Chinese chose to dispatch the Muslims, Sulaiman and Chams ud-din to Malayu as emissaries. | | | Ten years later Marco Polo noted in his description of Perlak in the extreme north of Sumatra (he refers to it as Ferlec) that the people were all idolaters but on account of the Saracen traders were converted to "The law of Mahomet." | | | Thus, by military means as defeated vassals, or mercenaries under the victorious Mongols, Islam was able to achieve more than it had been able to do in the previous six hundred years of trading and conquest, for they had achieved a status or wahyu that merchants never could. |
