1. Brunei Darussalam – History 2. Brunei Darussalam – Social life and customs "The fourteen articles in this book covered different subject matters. Even though they all shared a common theme of Islam in Brunei, they cover unique perspectives such as when Brunei first became a Muslim nation, who the religious figures were in the past. The relationship between Brunei and other countries such as China and Minangkabau, how were past religious events carried out, how the law was practiced and the spread of Islam in Brunei in the 19th century, among others. These articles were written for a newspaper audience and do not follow the normal rigours of an academic publication. They are written simply and meant to be quick reads. It would be wonderful if a particular article was to prove interesting for a scholar to pick up and do more rigorous study of the subject matter.
