The Period of the Palembang Sultanate
Period Wali Ulama Palembang
In the era of King Dapunta Hyang's leadership, Srivijaya was one of the many major empires that embraced the largest Buddhism in Asia,
where people were just and prosperous and obeyed the teachings they obeyed and obeyed their king,
Dapunta Hyang even though Buddhists did not demand his followers to follow the teachings he followed, he gave freedom in religious affairs.
In 718 Dapunta Hyang offered to become a Muslim, adherent to Islam even as part of the Caliphate rulers of the Islamic world at that time represented by the Umayyads, Dapunta Hyang would give gifts and tribute in countless forms of gold. and the spices provided want to teach Islam in the region. Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa is the Wise King, a Buddhist who is willing to dominate his territory in Khalihahan even though it is the center of Buddhist education. Namu was amazed when conducting trade relations with Arabs and knowing the behavior and morals of a very noble new religion.
This is contained in the second letter documented by 'Abd Rabbih (860-940) in his work Al-Iqdul Farid. The contents are:"From Rajadiraja ...; who is a descendant of a thousand kings ... to the Arab King who does not associate with other gods with God. I have sent you a present, which is actually a gift that is not so much, but only a sign of friendship, and I want you to send me someone who can teach Islam to me, and explain to me the law ".
Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa, King of Srivijaya, the ruler of the Archipelago is a person who has a healthy mind, a clean heart and high character and character, he is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the End of salvation both himself and his people
Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa has repeatedly expressed interest in Islam and sent several letters but because Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa's wishes have not been fulfilled other than because of political turmoil, the letter was finally unrequited. We all know that in that year the ruler of the Banu Muawiyah was Umar Bin Abdul Aziz. A very short man ruled the Banu Muawiyah in only about 3 years.
Until the death of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz and was replaced by Yazid bin Abdul Malik, a letter from Raja Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa was not returned. And in the end Buddhism remained the religion of the Srivijaya kingdom and the spread of Islam in the archipelago became a little hampered even though there were minorities living in Srivijaya because actually Islam had settled in Barus Port in North Sumatra.
Several hundred years after that Islam began to develop rapidly in Palembang, especially in the days of the Palembang Sultanate.
The religious leaders and community of young people intensively fostered people in the early 15th century AD. The name of Sheikh Al-Samad Al-Jawi Al-Palembani was mentioned. His role was very large after the end of the Palembang sultanate at the beginning of the 19th century AD.
In 1549 there was a political conflict due to inheritance problems in the kingdom of Demak. Between Aria Penangsang from Jipang and Pangeran Adiwijaya from Pajang. Ki Gede Ing Suro from the side of Jipang is gone. He then withdrew from Demak by bringing along an aid group to Palembang.
Arriving in Palembang, Ki Gede Ing Suro then established a traditional Javanese palace in Palembang where many residents are Muslim. He later became the first king in the kingdom of Palembang (1552-1573). It's just that, I don't have the source whether this Ki Gede embraced Islam when he became king or not.
This royal government then proceeded to his younger brother, Ki Gede Ing Suro Mudo, who played Ki Mas Anom Duke of Ing Suro (1573-1590).
During the Mataram kingdom, relations between the kingdom of Palembang and the center of government in Mataram went well. The king of Palembang at that time often sent tribute to the kingdom of Mataram. However, during the leadership of Prince Sido Ing Kenayan (1639-1650) to the leadership of Ki Mas Hindi Prince Ario Kesumo - held by Sultan Susuhan Abdurrahman Khalifatul Mukminin Sayyidul Iman (1659-1706) tribute sent was rejected.
This caused a break up in relations between the two kingdoms. There is no mention of the reasons for the tribute being rejected. After that the Kingdom of Palembang later declared itself to be the Sultanate of Palembang in 1675.
The first thing was done by Prince Ki Mas Hindi Ario Kesumo - also known as Sultan Jamaludin Mangkurat VII Susuhan Abd. Walang Temple is a mosque better known as the Old Mosque (1663). The building of the mosque is gone. It is said that the location of this mosque is located on Jl. Old Mosque, Beringin Janggut intersection kel. 17 Ilir Palembang.
The Musi River houses ships from Saudi, China and India. In connection with that in 1750-1820 Palembang developed into a center for Islamic and literary studies for the archipelago.
That made many Palembang scholars appear. One of them is Shaykh Shihabuddin bin Abdullah Muhammad. He has translated and provided an explanation for the book Jawharat Al-Tauhid. This book was written by Ibrahim Al-Taqani into Malay.
During the reign of Sultan Ahmad Najmuddin I (1757-1774) a Palembang ulama named Kemas Fakhruddin appeared who wrote the Mukhtasar book. This book is a translation of the book Risalah fi Al-Tauhid written by Sheikh Raslan Al-Dimsiqy.
Seeing the many valuable knowledge, the Sultan then handed over books to be stored and stored in the Keraton library. But when Sultan Mahmud Badarudin II was defeated by the British, the books were brought by many Englishmen to Batavia.
The event of the arrival of Ki Gede Ing Suro who later became the king of Palembang gave me the reason why many Javanese people lived in Palembang. Especially after being seen from a geographical location. Palembang can be called a transit area like Lampung. Because of its location on the tip of Sumatra, making it a stopover for migrants. Including Chinese people because of the port in the Musi river.
That is a glimpse of the history of the development of Islam in Palembang starting from the era of the Srivijaya kingdom until now.
