The spread of Islam in Southeast Asia is a clear example of Muslim influence in the region. Islam was brought to Southeast Asia by traders and missionaries from the Arab world as early as the 9th century. Over time, Islam became the dominant religion in many parts of the region, influencing the culture, customs, and traditions of the local population. Today, countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, and the southern Philippines have large Muslim populations and Islamic traditions are an integral part of their societies.
