Sunan Ampel

Sunan Ampel (born Raden Ahmad Rahmatullah or Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah; 1401–1481)Sejarah Indonesia: Wali Songo was one the nine revered Javanese Muslim saints, or Wali Songo, credited with the spread of Islam in Java. According to local history, around Demak the mosque of Demak Masjid Agung Demak was built by Sunan Ampel in 1479 CE,:id:Sunan Ampel but other sources attributed the construction of the mosque to Sunan Kalijaga.

Genealogy The father of Sunan Ampel was Maulana Malik Ibrahim, also known as Ibrahim as-Samarkandy ("Ibrahim Asmarakandi" to Javanese pronunciation) and Sunan Gresik. His mother was a princess of Champa. Sunan Ampel was born in Champa, in present-day central Vietnam, in 1401 CE. He came to Java in 1443 CE, possibly to visit his aunt Dwarawati, another Cham princess who was married to Kertawijaya, the king of Majapahit.:id:Sunan Ampel

A long lineage:id:Sunan Ampel indicates that Sunan Ampel was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. However, another theory claims that Sunan Ampel had Chinese ancestry and identifies him as Bong Swi Hoo. The two theories are not mutually exclusive, because Muslims from China interacted extensively with Southeast Asia during the time of Zheng He. It was also common for a Muslim man to marry a local woman when settling far from his country of origin.

Sunan Ampel married Nyi Gede Manila, the daughter of a Chinese captain at Tuban named Gan Eng Cu. This marriage produced several children: sons Sunan Bonang and Sunan Drajat became wali songo; daughter Syarifah became the wife of Sunan Ngudung and the mother of Sunan Kudus;:id:Sunan Kudus and another daughter became the first wife of Raden Patah and mother to Trenggana, who succeeded his father as leader of the Sultanate of Demak.:id:Raden Patah Some sources suggest that Raden Patah was the cousinWali Songo: The Nine Walis of Sunan Ampel.

Teachings Moh Limo, Mohlimo or Molimo (Moh: don't want, limo: five) is Sunan Ampel's philosophy of preaching to improve moral decay in society at that time, namely:

Moh Mabok : doesn't want to drink alcohol, khamr and the like. Moh Main : doesn't want to play gambling, lottery, betting and the like. Moh Madon : does not want to commit adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism and the like. Moh Madat : doesn't want to use drugs and the like. Moh Maling : does not want to steal, commit corruption, rob and the like. This teaching emerged during the 15th century when the Majapahit Kingdom was in chaos due to civil war, moral decline, and rampant gambling, robbery, and rape. This situation prompted the Majapahit King, Dyah Kertawijaya, to invite Sunan Ampel to help improve the behavior of the people.Ambrosius Harto Manumoyoso, Caecilla Mediana (27 Maret 2025) "Menempel Panca-Sila Sunan Ampel" Kompas. hal 2
