THE FIRST ISLAMIC KINGDOM IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

Hi! steemians friends all, happy weekend, I want to share today with you about "a story of the grandeur of the oldest Islamic empire in Southeast Asia".

This kingdom is located in a province in Indonesia that is Aceh Province which is also known as the nickname of the porch of mecca.

This kingdom is located in the district of East Aceh precisely in the city Peureulak, the distance is quite far from the central government of Aceh, if we take a bus ride usually takes seven hours to the location.

When first established, this kingdom is led by a very fair and very very wise king, he is Sultan Alaiddin Syed Maulana Abdul Aziz Shah who is descended from the Arab country.

He had presided over a period of about 24 years in the 9th century by referring to the Shi'ite school of that era.

And then this kingdom after his death began to have friction with the Caliph Khalifah also came from the Arab countries with the provision of bringing a different flow of Sunni which until now is still a reference in the area and even all of Aceh.
