The Peureulak Islamic Empire, An Almost Forgotten Ancient History

in indonesia •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi..steemian, I hope tonight in good condition and blessing. I want to tell you a glimpse of the Peureulak Islamic empire, where the site can be found in the Banda Khalifah Bandrong village, East Aceh District.

The Islamic empire of Peureulak was ruled by Sulthan of several dynasties. The earliest dynasty ruled the Peureulak Muslim empire was the Sayed Dynasty maulana Abdul Azis Maghdum Shah 840 - 918 AD or coinciding with the 225 - 305 Hijri. If measured by the same time in the kingdom of Sriwijaya is the period of decline of the glory of the Sriwijaya government in Palembang. In 840 - 864 AD or 225 - 249 Hijri, the seat of sultan is Sulthan Alaiddin Sayed Maulana Abdul Azis Maghdum Shah. Successively reigned Sulthan Sulthan Alaiddin Sayed Maulana Abdul Rahim Shah and Sulthan Alaiddin Sayed Maulana Abdul Abbas Syah. The tomb of Sulthan Suledan Alaiddin Sayed Maulana Abdul Azis Maghdum Syah is located in Banda Khalifan bandrong village, where there are tombstones framed in 225 - 249 Hijri.

At the location of the ancient tomb complex there are also other tombs and is evidence that Islam to Indonesia for the first time enter through Aceh. The kingdom in Aceh was previously the fazal kingdom of the Sriwijaya kingdom. Given the kingdom of Peureulak is a fazal kingdom, then reasonable Islam entered through the outskirts of the kingdom of Sriwijaya and of course when the glory of Sriwijaya began to decline.

Today the location of the Peureulak Islamic empire site is less introduced to the outside world, so it is less visitors. Whereas the people of Aceh believe that the first Islam into Indonesia is in Peureulak with evidence of tombstone framed in the year of Hijri. Meanwhile, in the location of the tomb was established a dayah with the name Dayah Sulthan Abdul Azis. In this location there is also a grave of pious people whose length is 8 meters. Regarding the grave that beruran 8 meters this munurut officers and the community there is no name, so no one knows his name.

So glimpses of a history story almost forgotten by us, because few people think of the past, as if we can tread in the future tampa of the past. Please criticize.
