Islam in the region. This marked the beginning of the Islamic influence in Vietnam.
As the sultanate expanded its control over the region, Islamic culture and practices began to spread among the local population. Mosques were built, Islamic schools were established, and Islamic religious leaders, known as ulama, began to play a prominent role in the community.
