With reference to the roles and importance of migration, it is a duy to reseach and find out the journey of migration in the history of the Malay Archipelago, especially the way of life and the results behind its. This reseach discussed the effects of migration upon the Malay community which started in Arab-Yemen-to the Malay world through the Indian Ocean by traders, merchants and Islamic travelers. The migration brought an impact on the Malay community where changes occurred in both social and culture of the society because of the positive relationship with Islam and the Arabs. The relationship between the Malay Archipelago and the Arab started with the migration of the Hadrami traders.
