Among the main essences of the Prophet’s S.A.W preaching during the Makkiah phase were the creed from the aspect of faith in Allah, proofs of the greatness of Allah S.W.T, and emphasis on the belief in the Day of Retribution. The indigenous people (Orang Asli) in Malaysia who have embraced Islam are among those who receive attention in Islamic education. The existence of religious secondary schools specifically for the indigenous people proves the attention given by the government to the religious education of the indigenous in general.
