Aceh Veranda of Mecca,

Hy steemit, how are you guys, this heart I will discuss about, the history of Islam in Aceh,
Islam entered Aceh since the first century Hijriah (7th or 8th AD) but it became a populist religion in the 9th century, as Ali Hasjmy argues.
Meanwhile, orientalists such as Snouck Hourgronje argued that Islam entered in the 13th century AD which was marked by the establishment of the Sultanate of Samudra Pasai.

Aceh is a province where almost 100% of the people are Muslim. Many historical experts, both domestic and foreign, are of the opinion that Islam first entered Indonesia through Aceh.
Marco Polo, who stopped in Perlak in 1292, stated that the country had embraced Islam. Likewise Samudera Pasai, based on a tomb found in the former kingdom, Menur, the source that existed, this kingdom had become an Islamic kingdom around 1270.

Regarding the history of the development of Islam in the Aceh area in those early days, such as manuscripts originating from within his own country such as the Malay History Book, Hikayat Raja-Raja Pasai, it is written, a preacher named Syekh Ismail had come from Mecca intentionally to the Ocean. to convert the people there.

Islam that entered Aceh in particular, and Indonesia in general, initially followed the streets and trading cities on the coast, then later spread to the interior. Traders and preachers have played an important role in the spread of Islam.

Sociologically historically, the entry and development of Islam into an area is very complex. There are many problems associated with it, for example where it comes from, who brings it, what is the background and how is it dynamic, both in terms of Islamic teachings and adherents.

A title full of religious nuances, faith and piety. The granting of this title, according to the analysis of expert historians, there are 5 reasons why Aceh holds this noble title.

1. Aceh is the first area to convert to Islam in the archipelago, to be precise on the East coast, Peureulak, and Pasai. From Aceh, Islam developed very rapidly throughout the archipelago to the Philippines. Acehnese preachers left their hometowns to spread Allah's religion to humans. Some of the Wali Songo who brought Islam to Java came from Aceh, namely Maulana Malik Ibrahim, Sunan Ngampel, and Syarif Hidayatullah.

2. The Aceh region was once the center of knowledge in the archipelago with the presence of Jami'ah Baiturrahman (Baiturrahman University) complete with various faculties. Students studying in Aceh come from all over the world, from Turkey, Palestine, India, Bangladesh, Pattani, Mindanau, Malaya, Brunei Darussalam, and Makassar.

3. The Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam had received recognition from Syarif Makkah on behalf of the Caliph of Islam in Turkey that the Kingdom of Aceh was the "protector" of other Islamic kingdoms in the archipelago. Because of this, all the sultans of the archipelago recognize Sulatan Aceh as their "umbrella" in carrying out royal duties.

4. Fourth, the Aceh region was once a base / port for Haj for the entire archipelago. Indonesian Muslims who go on the pilgrimage to Mecca by ship, before crossing the Indian Ocean, spend up to six months in Bandar Aceh Darussalam. The villages around Pelanggahan are now a stopover for pilgrims in the past.

5. There were many similarities between Aceh (at that time) and Mecca, they were both Muslim, syafi'i, cultured Islam, dressed in Islam, had Islamic entertainment, and were punished by Islamic law. The entire population of Mecca is Muslim and the entire population of Aceh is also Muslim.
