10. Summary of thesis results:
Islam was formed in the 7th century and is the latest religion among the major religions in the world but has the largest number of followers after Christianity. Immediately after its birth, Islam was propagated and spread to the continents mainly by force and war. However, in Southeast Asia, Islam was propagated by peaceful means and through the commercial activities of Muslim merchants. Islam in Southeast Asia flourished in the 15th - 17th centuries, leading to the birth of a series of Islamic kingdoms such as Malacca, Aceh and Johor. Of which, Aceh is the kingdom that most typically demonstrates the impact and influence of Islam on this country. From a wild land, with almost no historical documents recorded before the founding of the country in the late 15th century, the Sultanate of Aceh had a golden age in the 16th - 17th centuries. Islam had a strong impact on Aceh in many aspects such as politics, military, diplomacy to compete with rivals Portugal and Johor; affirming the position of a Southeast Asian commercial power and a perfect model of Islamic culture in the region. Therefore, Aceh deserved to be an Islamic center in Southeast Asia in the 16th - 17th centuries.
11. Practical application:
Explain why Southeast Asia today is a region with a large Muslim community in the world. Affirm why Aceh is called the "Corridor of Mecca", the land with the strictest and most standard Islam in Indonesia and in Southeast Asia today. And also because of the most orthodox practice of Islam, in the 20th century, Aceh was a province that always had a tendency to secede and fight for independence in Indonesia.
12. Further research directions:
Islam's influence on Aceh continued in the following centuries.

Islam was created as a religion in the seventh and has been among the most influential century religions in the world. It has a large number of followers after Christianity. Immediately after its formation, Islam was spread and continued to spread to continents mainly by force and war. However, it was introduced to Southeast Asia by peaceful means through the trading activities of Muslim merchants. Islam flourished in Southeast Asia in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries leading to the birth of a series of Islamic kingdoms, such as Malacca, Aceh and Johor. Although Aceh was not the first place to receive Islam, it emerged quickly after Islam was introduced to the region. From a wild area with almost no historical records before the foundation of the country in the late 15th century, Aceh emerged to come an Islamic empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Islam had a strong impact on Aceh in many aspects, such as politics, military, and diplomacy. It helped Aceh compete with rivals, such as Portugal and Johor. Aceh is the perfect model of Islamic culture in the region. Therefore, Aceh became a center of Islam in Southeast Asia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
