Terengganu Inscription Stone (Malay: Batu Bersurat Terengganu) is the oldest artifact with Jawi writing on it. The artifact proves that Islam reached Terengganu earlier than 1326 or 1386. It was accidentally discovered near Teresat River at Kuala Berang, Terengganu, Malaysia by an Arab trader named Sayid Husin bin Ghulam al-Bokhari in 1899 after a flash flood hit Kuala Berang.
