This research is about Islamic Education in the Sultanate of Sambas in the early twentieth century (Study on Development of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah in 1916-1936 AD). Islamic education in the Sultanate of Sambas in the early twentieth century was the beginning of a school called Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah. This ancient school was a school that was established only for the relatives of the sultan and the children of the ulama, while the children of the common people were not allowed to experience education. In addition, the author also examines the development of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah which was founded in 1916, and examines the background of the change of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah to Tarbiyatul Islam in 1936. Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah has a significant role in the Sultanate of Sambas at that time, because this madrasah is able to produce future generations who continue the development of Islamic teachings, namely by establishing a madrasah called Madrasah Asasun Najah. The Asasun Najah Madrasah was founded by Murad Kasim, a graduate of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah. In addition, the graduates of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah are also assisting teachers at the madrasa. The development at Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah became rapid because of the presence of Sambas youths who had studied in Egypt and Mecca, including Muhammad B Radioi Imran, Ahmad Fawzi and Abdurrahman Hamid as well as reforms at Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah regarding the curriculum and the influence of the Middle East. Furthermore, the change of Madrasah al-Sulthaniyah into Tarbiyatul Islam was caused by the existence of colonial schools using Dutch so that students were interested in learning it
