This study aims to examine thoughts and self-introspection in works of the Islamic genre in the state of Sabah, Malaysia through an article published by A. Halim Ali entitled Kesepaduan Stail Penulisan Dengan Perutusan Dalam Sajak-Sajak Terpilih Lima Penyair Sabah. When examining the writing produced by A. Halim Ali, he has published the main problem regarding the lack of poets who focus on Islamic poetry in the state of Sabah although the development of Islamic poetry in the 1980s is seen as a great potential for the development of Islamic literature in Sabah. Therefore, the method of literature and text analysis will be used to achieve the objective of the studies. The findings show that there are three main things related to the topic of study, namely submission to God, the relevance of the language style as well as the application of the aesthetic theory in the work of the Sabah poet. This writing can contribute to the study of poetic genres and also aesthetics in poetry.
