While Pocut Muhammad, in accordance with the growing saga is the younger brother of Sultan Muda.Based on historical records, the beginning of the Bugis-blooded Aceh Sultan begins with the marriage of Sultan Iskandar Muda with Putroë Suni, Daeng Mansyur's son. Daeng Mansyur himself is the son-in-law of Teungku Chik Di Reubee. Sultan Iskandar Muda ruled so wisely that the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam reached a glorious period.His marriage to Putroë Suni, he was blessed with a daughter named Safiatuddin Shah.
