However, the number of religious for each area in the state of Sabah is not same because there have areas with a Muslim majority and areas with a Christian’s majority. The situation caused an imbalance between the number of Muslims and Christians in the Kadazandusun ethnic settlement area in Sabah. This also causes the minority community in an area to face various issues and challenges in daily life. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the issues arising among the minority Muslim community in Sabah and also analyze for the challenges of the Muslim minority in the settlement area of the Kadazandusun community in Sabah. The research method is qualitative and the research instrument is a questionnaire. The results of the study found that the issues arising in the Muslim minority areas in Sabah is about the influence of the religion and culture of the majority, the issue of oppression and others. While the challenges faced by Muslim’s minority in Sabah involve a lack of reading material related to religion, constraints in carrying out da'wah and difficulties in obtaining allocations for the construction of surau.
