MIB elements in 1368 CE since the Islamisation of Awang Alak Betatar, until 1906 CE can be traced in terms of the existence and role of race, language, Islam, monarchy, customs and law. In terms of race and language, it is evident that Malay, as one of the MIB components before 1906, has emerged over tens of thousands of years ago. The eminence of Islam was not only supported by the Sultans of Brunei until 1906 but also gained solid cooperation from the preachers and the local people until it became a way of life for the Brunei people. The Sultans of Brunei before 1906 also played a role in strengthening and expanding the customs of the people of Brunei until they became part of the MIB elements of this period. FOREWORD Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala that this book “THE MALAY ISLAMIC MONARCHY IN NEGARA BRUNEI DARUSSALAM PRIOR TO 1906: A HISTORICAL STUDY” has successfully been published by The Brunei Historical Society (PESEBAR). This book is the second book in the English language that the Society has published individually. The study of the history of MIB in terms of the roles of race, language, Islam, monarchial institution, customs (adat istiadat) and laws, has hitherto not much studied previously. Hopefully this book will give more insight and understanding of the existence of the MIB before 1906. This will reinforce the rationality of the country's claim to declare MIB as the national concept embraced by every layer of society in the country. A continuous research without stopping must be undertaken from time to time so MIB's history continues to shine. Hopefully, the benefits of this book will be achieved not only among historical researchers but also to lecturers, students and enthusiasts of history especially in MIB research. In conclusion, my heartiest congratulations to Associate Professor Dr. Haji Awg Asbol bin Haji Mail, Associate Professor Ampuan Dr. Haji Brahim bin Ampuan Haji Tengah, Dr. Nani Suryani binti Haji Abu Bakar, Dr. Hjh Asiyah Az Zarah binti Haji Ahmad Kumpoh and Dr. Haji Tassim bin Haji Abu Bakar. for working hard and diligently in producing this book. May all your efforts will be rewarded and blessed by Allah. Pehin Siraja Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Dr. Ustaz Haji Awang Yahya bin Haji Ibrahim The Principal Brunei Historical Society (PESEBAR) PREFACE Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala (exalted and glorified is He) who has blessed us with His mercy and guidance. Salutation and peace be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam (peace be upon him), his family, friends, and disciples. With His blessings, this book has been successfully published for the reading pleasure of all layers of society in our beloved Negara Brunei Darussalam, and especially for enthusiasts of the country’s history. Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) which officially became a state concept in 1984 has actually existed before 1906. The elements of MIB which has been in existence since 1368 when Awang Alak Betatar became a Muslim, until 1906 can be traced in terms of the existence and roles of race, language, Islam, monarchial institution, customs and laws. These five aspects are the main focus of this book’s discourse. In terms of race and language, it is evident that Malay as one of the MIB components before 1906 has emerged over tens of thousands of years ago. Meanwhile Islam is said to have emerged among the people of Brunei since the 10th century. The elements of MIB became increasingly enriched when Awang Alak Betatar became a Muslim with Brunei itself then becoming a Malay Islamic Sultanate and this has become an important way of life of the Brunei community until 1906. The Sultan of Brunei before 1906 also played a role in strengthening and expanding the customs of the people of Brunei until it became part of the MIB elements. However, the most important event is when the laws of the nation became elements of MIB as a symbol of the sovereignty of a ruler also included elements of Islam. Hence embedded within the laws are customary laws and Islamic laws making it support the elements of MIB before 1906. This book was intentionally written as a commemoration for all political events of our country, Brunei Darussalam especially in in exhorting and strengthening the acceptance of the Malay Islamic Monarchy concept. Hopefully this effort will be blessed by Allah and become a wakaf of knowledge and charity from us, the authors. In fact, there are still many historical treasures of Brunei Darussalam that need to be explored. The ongoing studies that produce Brunei's historiography should be done not only for the sake of knowledge discourse but also for the knowledge of all levels of society in this country. It also benefits the development of the country in terms of intellectual development among local researchers. In conclusion, we the authors would like to express our highest appreciation and thanks to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the Universiti Brunei Darussalam for giving permission and funding this research until finally it is published in this book form. The highest appreciation and thanks too to Persatuan Sejarah Brunei (PESEBAR), or Bruneian Historical Society, for publishing this book. The same goes to Tuan Haji Mohd Rozan bin Dato Paduka Haji Mohd Yunos, who was supportive in this effort, and offered his valuable inputs so that this book could be published, and so many thanks to him. In the same light, not to forget, our utmost thanks to the Universiti Brunei Darussalam library, the Department of Bruneian Historical Centre and the Department of Museums’ National Archives, who extended their assistance in obtaining reference materials for us to draft, update and complete the writing of this book. Additionally, our utmost appreciation must also be given to the Brunei Historical Centre for allowing us to reproduce articles that they had published to be included in this book. We, on behalf of the writers, pray that Allah rewards and accepts your deeds.

  • Children in Brunei Darussalam: Their Educational, Legal and Social Protections
    e-ISSN 2289-6023 International Journal of Islamic Thought ISSN 2232-1314 Vol. 11: (June) 2017 Children in Brunei Darussalam: Their Educational, Legal and Social Protections AMY YOUNG, PG NORHAZLIN PG HJ MUHAMMAD, OSMAN BAKAR, PATRICK O’LEARY & MOHAMAD ABDALLA1 ABSTRACT The past two decades of academic work, have cemented the idea that childhood is a social construction. As such, how children are conceptualized, educated, protected and interacted with differs from society to society, given the values inherent in each social construction. Culture, history and geography all influence the daily lives of children, and the inherent protections that children are offered in each society. This paper examines child protection provisions embedded in Brunei Darussalam by critically reviewing the sparse literature available. While much academic work has been done on Brunei Darussalam’s political system and unique ideology, little has been written on the children of Brunei. Specifically, the focus taken is on the protections offered by the Bruneian legal and education systems, family and cultural institutions, and on Brunei’s international commitments to ensuring child wellbeing. Keywords: Brunei Darussalam, child, childhood, Islam, shariah law Negara Brunei Darussalam is an Islamic sultanate with a particular vision for its people and children. Yet little academic work has focused on children in Brunei. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is central to the way children are viewed worldwide. It reflects an awareness that children are not just passive recipients of adult culture in need of protection and provision, but also beings in their own right who participate and interact with the world (Alderson 2012a, 2012b, 2010).
