Hamzah Fansuri (16th century) was a famous Sumatran Sufi poet, the first to pen mystical pantheistic ideas into the Malay language. Fansuri's Pantheism derived from the writings of the medieval Islamic scholars. He perceived God as immanent within all things, including the individual, and sought to unite one's self with the indwelling spirit of God.
