I recently had the experience of researching my ancestors back to about 7 generations.I discovered that I had Muslim Malay ancestors although today i am Christian.What puzzled me was did some of my Malay Moslem ancestors convert to Christianity and why?. Did all malay Moslems continue to follow islam or did they convert?

my response would not necessarily be accurate. but, financial hardship might be one of the reasons as was written by Tuan Guru in bahasa Indonesia in his compendium of Islamic law when he first arrived in Cape Town "This is the land of sorrow".

There are too many factors. However, i can speculate these points; 1) Muslim men can marry women of the book (not the other way around), rarely happen nowadays. Islam also allows divorce, so the kids may go to their respective parents. 2) Muslim must not lie about their identity, although it won't go well if you're afraid or do not want to be left behind by your society where muslim is the minority. Apostate law only happens in Islamic states to those who 'seek' death. In my muslim majority country, there are apostates/murtad, but no one dies. The said Muslim (basically) barter their religion with coins, uneducated believer, or have their brain broken. The only action taken for those murtad is abandonment if the family is a practicing one. To those who declare that they're Muslim but don't practice the deeds and behaving like a disbeliever, then they're munafiq. Only the Almighty will handle the munafiq's sin on the day of judgment, Muslim are only adviced to take precautions. 3) In Indonesia, not every Melayu is Muslim, and not every Muslim is Melayu. However, in Malaysia, every Muslim is equitable as Malayu, even though you are (let's say) a Dayak. This is because Indonesia differentiate their ethnicities and religions, while Malaysia will tightly knot their ethnicity to religion. If a Muslim Chinese Indonesian visits Malaysia, the Malaysian will assume the Chinese Indonesian as Christian/Buddist. If the Chinese Indonesian said that they're Muslim, the Malaysian will find it hard to believe and accept. So, your ancestor might be non-Muslim to begin with or a weak believer.

Some were From Malay Archipelago..not Malaysia or Indonesia..because Malaysia and Indonesia not exist..

agree pak. very fascinating.

The Cape Malay is originally majority Batavia Malay , and Makassarese later Javanese and Bugis become majority. early before 1700 many from Sumatera ,like Jambi, palembang,Medan which are Malay areas also Achehm Padang ,Bengkulu and Nias. Many Sumbawa, Balinese and Maluku people,also Timor.

only abt 20-50 were from Melaka in Malaysia and a few from Malaya as per archival records,majority are Makassarese, Bugis, Sumatra Malay , Nias, Minangkabau and Benghkulu . Javanese became majority in 18th century with Bugis. bt earliest are macassarese and batavian Malays. Sumbawans, and Ternate and Timor also made up quite a reasonal pecentage. lets look at some names. Martha of Jambi 1699, Moses of Jambi 1765 , Ciciliq of Timor , Aran of Aru ,

terima kasih for the very detailed enlightenment, sir. I didn''t know that.

Izin saya share di group lain ya min, saya paham dengan main claim sepihak kontradiktif negara Malaysia terhadap keturunan cape malay di Afrika Selatan khususnya keturunan Indonesia memanfaatkan kebingungan masyarakat di Afrika Selatan upaya retorika negara Malaysia mecoba mengkamburkan asal usul mayoritas keturunan Indonesia serta sejarah keberadaan syekh Yusuf al makasari terkait dengan kerajaan banten serta menutup nutupi fakta terkait sejarah bangsa Indonesia... sebenarnya saya juga merasakan upaya Malaysia juga pernah mencoba claim sepihak tentang asal usul keturunan Indonesia di luar negeri seperti Kaledonia baru & Suriname... menurut ku pantas informasi mencegah bahaya dari upaya licik & picik miss informasi keturunan Indonesia di malayunisasikan di politik Malaysia..dan sebagai bukti penuturan keturunan Indonesia memperkuat terkait sejarah keturunan orang Indonesia di luar negeri

it's an archaic word : cape refers to the islands on the eastern part of malay peninsula, i.e., Indonesia. the majority of cape malay came from java island, along with Indonesians from sumatera, sulawesi, bali etc.
