Migration among ASEAN countries is not new and Sabah is one of the states in Malaysia that faces this phenomenon. Even prior to independence, Sabah had already been receiving immigrants from ASEAN countries. This study aims at analysing Muslim ethnic migration from the Philippines into Sabah and its impact onto ASEAN integration. This study was qualitatively conducted using content analysis instrument and found that the migration has created a multi-ethnic Muslim community in Sabah, making Sabah as an exemplary multi-ethnic state where the different ethnics can live in harmony. Indirectly, Sabah can become a model to other ASEAN countries which have a multiracial population. This is in line with the desirable declaration to form the ASEAN Community. Simultaneously, Sabah can become a link or medium that foster ASEAN inter-member relations, especially between the Philippines and Malaysia in line with the ASEAN community integration agenda.

Therefore, its management needs to be carried out with full trust, integrity and accountability so that its aim can be achieved which can be used as a platform to raise the message of Islam. However, in the Islamic inheritance system, non-Muslimsareprevented from receiving Muslim inheritance even if they have family ties. Inheritance without Muslim heirs causes this inheritance to be handed over to Baitulmal. In light of that, the objective of this study is to identify baitulmal interaction with regards to the claims of non-Muslim family memberson the estate of deceased converts.
