Ibn Sardan stone
Ibn Sardan stone is one of the artifacts found in the Bujang Valley, Kedah. On the surface is written the words "Ibn Sardan 213H" in Jawi script around 829 AD. Ibn Sardan is the name of an Arab family known as scholars, seafarers and Islamic preachers. The stone measures 19 cm x 37 cm. The discovery of this stone can further strengthen the theory that Islam existed earlier in the Bujang Valley, proving that there were figures from the Middle East, whether Arabs or Persians, who traveled with the aim of developing Islamic teachings in this country.

The origins stone is stored in the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum, Merbok, and its replica can be seen in the National Museum, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[citation needed]
