pondok in Nusantara (1)

So far, the discussion about the most early  education center recorded in Malaysia was by Munshi Abdullah. His records about the education in malay communities at that time was  just on Quran. Some researchers interpret this  as the study of how to recite the Quran.  however, if we trace on detail about the scholars who lived in his period such as Syeikh dawud Al fatani, and Raja Ali haji, we can see that the study at that time was not limited on how to recite Al Quran, but all  sciences that  derived  from Al Quran. There are some researchers refused him and prejudiced to his records because he was the first Malay who interpret Bible into Malay.
