Sunan Ampel
Sunan Ampel (born Raden Ahmad Rahmatullah or Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah; 1401–1481) 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, but other sources attributed the construction of the mosque to Sunan Kalijaga.
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 the Jeumpa Kingdom. Sunan Ampel was born in Champa, in present-day central Vietnam, in 1401 CE. Sunan Ampel came to Java in 1443 CE, possibly to visit his aunt Dwarawati, a princess of Jeumpa who was married to Kertawijaya, the king of Majapahit.
A long lineage indicates that Sunan Ampel was a descendant of Muhammad, a Prophet in the Islamic religion who was born in Mecca. 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; 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. Some sources suggest that Raden Patah was the cousin of Sunan Ampel.
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:
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.
In 1479, Sunan Ampel founded the Great Mosque of Demak. His missionary efforts in the city of Demak were continued by Raden Zainal Abidin, known as Sunan Demak, who was his son by his wife Dewi Karimah.
The youngest son of Raden Zainal Abidin later became the imam of the Great Mosque, and was known as Raden Zakaria (Prince Sotopuro).
