Paduka Seri Sultan Al Mukarram, Sultan Alauddin Mahkota Alam Iskandar Muda, Perkasa Alam Shah, Jauhan Meudeulat Zilullah Fil Nature
Right on December 27, 2017 yesterday, 381 years already Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636) left us. The figure of the magnificent Acheh technocrat in the 16th century, remains in the hearts of the Achehs. Although Acheh's historian is incomplete about his life, he is lucky "La Grand Encyclopedie. An authoritative 17th century French map ", succeeded in showing the map of the territory of the sovereignty of Royame D'Achem (Kingdom of Acheh) during Iskandar Muda's rule, including: Sumatera, Tanah Peninsular Malaya, to Borneo West and West Java; published by the French government.
That is why people will not forget you, Sultan! That way, the Acheh generation now has not lost its historical footprint and is not misguided to continue its future journey.
Nevertheless, the world's political movements are constantly changing, as a result of the prolonged fight against colonialism and with it, the boundaries of Acheh's sovereign territory narrow; as illustrated in A contemporary English map, 1883. Published both Supreme Master Ching Hai, London, September 22, 1883. "These two maps show that: the boundaries of Aceh's sovereign territory include parts of Sumatra: to the West
until Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. To the east, to Kampar River, Riau. This means, returning to the boundaries of the sovereignty of Acheh when Sultan Ali Mughayat Shah came to power in the 1500s - To be understood that the boundaries of Acheh's sovereignty were required to be surrendered to the Dutch, which in the "Ultimatum" of the Dutch military ruler on 26 March 1873 , inter alia mentioning: "Acheh must surrender its sovereignty over some parts of Sumatra." Hundreds of years later, Acheh's boundaries shrank under the Act. No.24 / 1956, the Act. No. 18/2001 and Law no.11 / 2006, as the form and we know today.
Sorcerer, Davis-Eyewitnesses who had visited Acheh testified that: "They have divers termes of payment, as cashes, mas, cowpan, pardaw, tayell." (Read: Denys Lombard) The kingdom of Acheh Sultan Iskandar Muda ( 1607-1636). Pustaka, Jakarta 1986. The currency of the Kingdom of Acheh also circulated in some neighboring countries, as recognized and described in detail by JB Tavernier, 1679. (Read: Les six voyages, volume II, page. 601-602) .This is also the reason, people still remember you, Sultan!
Several different currencies of Aceh were used as paying and transaction instruments until 1874. Currently, the currency is kept in museums in the Netherlands, France and in the hands of antique specialist collectors.
Happy, there was Iskandar Muda's letter to the French government in gold ink on very fine paper; his writings are surrounded by some gold ornaments and drawings, proving that Acheh has a high civilization. The original manuscript was kept in the Museum of Paris, France. That's why people always remember you, Sultan!
Fascinated, since Acheh was once the center of Islamic civilization, Malay culture and commerce, where foreign merchants came to buy black pepper, Barus lime, Pinang fruit and other export goods, including paying customs to all foreign ships crossing the Straits of Melaka. This customs burden was an implementation of the MoU between Acheh-England agreed in 1603. Foreign traders, as Davis acknowledged; often claiming to complain over price benchmarks, but Iskandar Muda firmly said: "Items
which we export high quality, if you want to buy at a set price, pay! if not: return home. "Foreign traders are forced to buy even if the price is expensive, because they need it. This is an interesting story that has made the Acheh history sheet. Therefore, people always admire you, Sultan!
Proud, because Iskandar Muda has established friendships, diplomatic relations and trade with the world's leading countries, such as: Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, Arab countries, India and China. More than that, while the West is still groping with the concept of nationalism and statehood, Iskandar Muda has earlier laid the groundwork and carried out the principle, separation and distribution of power ", in:" Tradition bak ptumalum, law of Shiite Kuala, qanun bak Putroë Phang, reusam tub Bintara ". Meaning: Acheh is superior and begins the theory of "social contract" or "Theory of separation of powers" of Montesquieu (1689-1755) which is already proud of it. That's why, people will not be able to deny your idea, Sultan!
In this context, the West was aware and learned to establish an authoritative government; after Tariq Ibn Ziyad defeated the Visigoths to victory over Andalusia, Cordova and Toledo in Spain. Since then the Umayyads introduced the model of Islamic leadership, the Caliphate system. Furthermore, it was continued by the Ottoman Ottoman Empire, where Acheh was the only country from the Malay World region to join it. In this connection it is said: "In the sixteenth century, the Islamic world has become powerful again rich, luxurious and full of greatness. The Muslims of that day in Morocco, Istanbul, Isfahan, Agra, Acheh were successful coaches of history "(Prof. Wilfred Cantwell Smith," Islam in Modern History ", 1975, p.38).
Therefore, the heart of the Acheh always vibrates when you call your name, Sultan!
Iskandar Muda, the only prominent politician in Southeast Asia who triumphantly laid the Islamic values sourced from the Qur'an and Hadith as the state constitution set forth in Qanun Al-Asyi Meukuta Alam and honoring the existence of the Malikul Court of Justice. Similarly, nationalism is belief and belief
religion. This is evident from the concept of "Ummatan Wahidah", which is used to unify the administration and unite the forces of the Malay world against colonialism.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, European political thinkers only realized that belief and religion were allowed to bear nationalism, as Prof. Sebastian de Grazia:
"The very basis of equality and unity of all citizens is their beliefs and religions that show and unite their ideals of relationships with one another and between them and the government. With no such beliefs and religions, without this equation, it should be said that the society does not exist. "(Prof. Sebastian de Grazia The Political Community.)
The above history can be used as a comparative barometer to measure who we are right now in front of the mirror of Acheh history. Iskandar Muda has triumphantly built the scientific thinking tradition, gave birth to a series of prominent scholars, fostering the strong and respected civilization and dignity of Acheh, exemplified, imitated, and martial. In this radius of "marwah" Iskandar Muda carved out the achievements. So, the real ghost of Acheh: sovereignty over land, economy, law, religion, science, morals, ethics, traditions, culture, and politics / power. May we be at peace in two different worlds, Sultan.
