Early Islamization of Lampung from the 13th century from Pasai is evidenced by the tombstone of Malik Al Saleh written in 1297 and the Batu Brak Site at Hanibung in 688 Hijriyah. Islam was brought by the four sons of Sultan Ratu Ngegalang Paksi. The arrival of the four pious people is a setback from the Sekala Brak kuno with the last king, queen sekekhummong (Sekerummong), the Buay Tumi tribe, who is Hindu Birawa and animist. This momentum is at the same time a milestone in the establishment of Kepaksian Paksi Pak Sekala Brak or Kepaksian Sekala Brak which is based on Islamic religious values. The four sons of Umpu Ratu Ngegalang Paksi are Sultan Ratu Buay Pernong, Umpu Nyerupa, Umpu Belunguh, Umpu Bejalan Diway. The spread of Islam throughout the land of Lampung from the 15th century started from West Lampung Regency. In 1525 Islam also entered through Labuhan Maringgai from Banten and Palembang. The entry of Islam in Tulang Bawang since the 16th century from the village of Pagar the god of the Penggala Tulang Bawang area was brought Islamic traders.{{cite conference |author=Fitri Yanti Yasin |author2=Eni Amaliah Juhro |date=2019 |title=KITAB KUNTARA RAJA NITI Study of the Entry of Islam in Lampung |editor=Tulus Suryanto |editor2=Amilin Amilin |editor3=Hamzah Hamzah |editor4=Reza Ronaldo |editor5=Resista Vikaliana |book-title=ICIDS 2019: Proceeding of the First International Conference On Islamic Development Studies |isbn=978-1-63190-206-2 |doi=10.4108/eai.10-9-2019.2289343 |doi-access=free}}

The spread of the Lampung tribe began in the 13th century AD following the marriage of the only daughter Queen sekekhummong, namely Sindi La Lalula in Islam, with the descendants of Kepaksian Pernong who settled in Batu Brak, together with Putri Indar Wati (Sibulan), who opened a new village in the area of Tulang Bawang Regency.{{Cite web | url=https://metropolitan.co.id/2018/08/14/4-umpu-sekala-brak-lampung-anak-raja-pagaruyung-minangkabau/ | title=Unknown}}{{Dead link | date=September 2024 | fix-attempted=yes}}
