Abstract

Islam and its law had played pivotal part in the Malay archipelagos since the 13ths century. Islam then was not only just considered as the religion of the Malays but it was also the source of Malay culture. However after the advent of the British to the Malay states, the functions and status of Islam were only limited to matters concerning personal and family. The political, economic and legal administrations were based on British values and principles. After independence till today, this trend still exists in the Malaysian soil. Yet, Above all, Islam is still being regarded as the religion of the Federation pursuant to article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution. This article will illustrate the meaning, status and functions of Islam in Malaysia by looking into the legal provisions and cases decided in courts in Malaysia.
