ISLAM IN THE MALAY WORLD : AL FALIMBANI'S SCHOLARSHIP
Islam in the Malay World has been developed by a number of classical intellectuals, among them al-Falimbani.

It uncovers evidence of al-Falimbani's great erudition in the major Islamic sciences by tracing his early education, the developments of his intellectual maturity and the influence of various well-known scholars who shared their expertise with him. This book represents the first product of research which utilizes a wide range of data and classical sources relating to al-Falimbani, including manuscripts, Jawi books, Arabic biographical dictionaries and many others.
