As Islam spread, three main Muslim political powers emerged.Aceh, the most important Muslim power, was based firmly in Northern Sumatra. It controlled much of the area between Southeast Asia and India. The Sultunate also attracted Sufi poets. The second Muslim power was the Sultanate of Malacca on the Malay peninsula. The Sultanate of Demak was the third power, appearing in Java, where the emerging Muslim forces defeated the local Majaphit kingdom in the early 16th century. Although the sultanate managed to expand its territory somewhat, its rule remained brief.
