The study of Malay manuscripts with Islamic theme must be intensified to explore the thoughts of past scholars. One of the books written by scholars in the 17th century is written by Sheikh Abdul Malik bin Abdullah. The book is recognized as one of the first books of jurisprudence in Malaya written by local scholars. Kitab al- Kifayah has never been printed and is not available in our country's market or abroad. Therefore, this article aims to introduce the author's background, the background of this book and its storage location in libraries in Malaysia. In addition, a complete description of the manuscripts that have been found by the researcher is also explained in this article. The result of this writing found that Sheikh Abdul Malik is a scholar in Terengganu who was very helpful in developing Islam in Terengganu. He founded the school system and write short papers for the purpose of teaching religion in the school as well as a reference for Muslims in Malaya then. A total of 4 copies of Kitab al- Kifayah have been found by the author in two libraries in Malaysia and descriptions for each copy have been made. It is hoped that this description will be of great benefit to researchers in the field of manuscripts as well as the Muslim community in Malaysia.
