What Can Jawi Unlock For You?
Our Ancestors' Healing Wisdom
For centuries, Malay healers recorded their remedies, herbs and health advice in handwritten Jawi books known as Kitab Tib. Learn the script, and this knowledge speaks to you again.
Even Marital Health Was Written in Jawi
Long before modern clinics, Kitab Tib recorded knowledge on childbirth, women's health, fertility and a husband's vitality. Ulama also discussed these matters in Jawi fiqh texts on marriage.
Singapore's Own Story
Kampong Gelam was once the printing capital of the Malay world. Singapore's first Malay newspaper, Jawi Peranakkan (1876), was written entirely in Jawi. Our history was written in this script.
Hikayat, History & Law
From the Hikayat Raja Pasai to the Undang-Undang Melaka, the great works of the Malay world were written in Jawi. Many are now digitised and free to view online.
