<p>This paper presents the results of research on Islamic texts derived from two collections in Marawi City, Mindanao Island, Southern Philippines, namely: a) Al-Imam As-Sadiq Collection (AS) Library of Husayniyyah in Karbala, and b) Ahmad Basher Memorial Research Library of Jamiat Muslim Mindanao, Matampay. The texts in this collection show that up to the 19th century, the Mindanao archipelago was an inseparable part of the Malay world that contributed to Islamic texts in Malay, Arabic and local languages, Maranao. Although the numbers are limited, the texts of Marawi origin contain local wisdom that reflects the occurrence of dialogue between Islam with various cultural diversity in the local area. Now, when such local wisdom is ignored and not inherited by the next generation, Marawi turns into an unfriendly territory to the diversity of religious interpretations, and even becomes a devastating area of conflict.</p>
