Abstract

The 19th century saw an exciting development of Islam in Pahang. The development encompasses various aspects such as knowledge development, roles of scholars and the emergence of various Islamic institutions. This subject has been dwelled by several western writers; one of them was W. Linehan. Linehan dealt with this subject in his journal entitled "A History of Pahang", where he highlighted the prominence of several Islamic scholars such as Mufti Abdul Shukur, Kadi Ibrahim and Tuan Sanggang. This paper which employs content analysis and library studies will focus on Linehan's chronicle on several Islamic scholars including those from the Minangkabau tribe. Apart from the aforementioned scholars, there were also records of other scholars such as Tok Shihabuddin, Tok Mengkarak, Tuan Teh and others who were instrumental in propagating Islamic teachings in Pahang. Based on the records found in Linehan's journal, it can be concluded that the presence of Islamic scholars in Pahang can be traced back to the 19th century.
