Pasai Muslim Diaspora in the 16th Century on the North Coast of Java

Abstract

This research aims to explain the Pasai Muslim diaspora on the North Coast of Java. This research uses historical research methods which include heuristics (primary sources such as Suma Oriental Tome Pires and secondary sources such as Asian Trade and European Influence in the Archipelago between 1500 and around 1630, Sociological Historical Studies of Indonesian Society Volume 1, Islamic Archeology of the Archipelago, Critical Review of History Banten, Sunan Gunung Jati (between Fiction and fact) Grounding Islam with a structural and cultural approach), source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this research found that the process of the Pasai Muslim diaspora in the North Coast of Java occurred in the 16th century, resulting in the formation of the Cirebon Sultanate. It also shows that the Pasai Muslim diaspora had spread to parts of West Java brought by Sunan Gunung Djati. After controlling the West Java region, Sunan Gunung Djati then founded the Sultanate of Banten, led by his son, Sultan Hassanudin.
