ISLAM IN SABAH

Bukti terawal tentang Islam di Sabah bertarikh 1408M (810H/811H). Manuskrip Idahan dltemui di Kampung Sepagaya, Lahad Datu. la mencatatkan pengislaman Abdullah di Teluk Darvel. Pada abad ke-16 Masihi sebahaglan penduduk Sabah telah pun beragama Islam. Ketika itu, Sabah terbahagi kepada 3 zon: Pantai Barat dlkuasai oleh Kerajaan Brunei, Pantai Timur dikuasai oleh Kerajaan Sulu dan kawasan lain diperintah oleh para syarif. lni mempercepat perkembangan Islam. Pada zaman penjajahan lnggeris, berlaku penentangan serius yang ditimbulkan oleh masyarakat Islam. Puncanya adalah pertembungan budaya. Penentangan awal yang diketahui dimulai Datu Tating di Pulau Balambangan pada tahun 1775M (1188H/1189H). Selanjutnya Syarif Usman di Teluk Marudu. Ketika jawatan Residen diperkenalkan di Sandakan, Paduka Mat Salleh tidak bersetuju, lalu melancarkan perang. Beliau terbunuh pada 31 Januari 1900M ( 29 Ramadan 1317H ). Pada awal tahun 1900-an, lnggeris berusaha menyekat syiar Islam. Beberapa peraturan menghalang orang Islam berpindah ke kawasan bukan Islam. Bagaimanapun, sikap lnggeris kemudiannya berubah dengan melibatkan pemimpin-pemimpin Islam dalam pentadbiran. lni mengelak penentangan semula masyarakat Islam. Pemimpin-pemimpin Islam berusaha menubuhkan persatuan Islam. Akhirnya lahir Persatuan Islam Putatan pada tahun 1959M (1378H/1379H). Persatuan Islam Tawau diasaskan Datuk Haji Abu Bakar Titingan. Haji Yusof Shamsuddin mengasaskan Persatuan Islam Sabah. Semua pertubuhan dibubarkan dengan tertubuhnya Pertubuhan Islam Seluruh Sabah pada tahun 1969M (1388H/1389H). Selanjutnya Majlis Ugama Islam Sabah (MUIS) ditubuhkan pada tahun 1971M (1390H/1391H). Islam dijadikan “Agama Islam” pada 23 September 1973M (25 Syaban 1393H). Tun Datu Haji Mustapha Datu Harun menjadi Ketua Menteri Islam yang pertama di Sabah dari Jun 1967 hingga Oktober 1975. Sebelum ini, beliau merupakan Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sabah pertama dari 16 September 1963 hingga 15 September 1965. Umat Islam Sabah merupakan 61.40% atau 1, 062 280 daripada jumlah penduduk Sabah keseluruhannya (1, 730, 098) menurut banci tahun 1991.

The earliest evidence of Islam’s existence in Sabah was an ldahan manuscript found at Sepagaya Village, Lahad Datu dated 1408 AD. (810 H/811 H). It recorded the conversion of Abdullah to Islam at Darvel Bay. By the 16th century AD. part of the population of Sabah had adopted Islam as their religion. At the time, Sabah was divided into 3 zones: The West Coast was controlled by the Brunei Sultanate, the East Coast was run by the Sulu Sultanate and the other areas were controlled by the syariff (nobleman). This enhanced the spread of Islam. 

 

There were several serious oppositions mounted by the Muslims during the British colonial era. These were caused by cultural differences. The first known uprising was initiated by Datu Tating at Balambangan Island in 1775 AD (1188 H/1189 H). It was then followed by Syarif Usman at Marudu Bay. When the post of Resident was introduced in Sandakan, Paduka Mat Salleh opposed to the idea and launched uprisings against the British. He was killed on 31st January 1900 AD (29 Ramadan 1317 H). In the early 1900’s, the British made an effort to curb the spread of Islam. A number of rules were made prohibiting the Muslims from moving to stay in non-Muslim areas. However, the attitude of the British later changed by involving Muslim leaders in the administration. This avoided the opposition from the Muslim community. 

 

The Muslim leaders went on to establish Islamic associations. Finally, the Persatuan Islam Putatan (Putatan Islamic Association) was formed in 1959 AD. (1378 H/1379 H). The Persatuan Islam Tawau (Tawau Islamic Association) was founded by Datuk Haji Abu Bakar Titingan. Haji Yusof Shamsuddin founded the Persatuan Islam Sabah (Sabah Islam Association). All the association were dissolved upon the establishment of the Pertubuhan Islam Seluruh Sabah (United Sabah Islamic Association) or USIA in 1969 AD. (1388 H/1390 H). Furthermore, the Majlis Ugama Islam Sabah, (MUIS) or Sabah Islamic Council, was established in 1971 AD. ( 1390 H/1391 H ). Islam was made the official religion on 23rd. September 1973 AD. (25 Syaban 1393 H). Tun Datu Haji Mustapha became the first Muslim Chief Minister of Sabah from June 1967 till October 1975. Prior to this, he was the first Sabah Head of State from 16th. September 1963 till 15th. September 1965. The Muslim population of Sabah constituted 61.40% of the total population of Sabah (1,730,098) according to 1991 census or 1,062,280.
