Sunan Murya


Sunan Muria is, according to the Babad Tanah Jawi manuscripts, one of the nine Wali Sanga involved in propagating Islam in Indonesia.
He was born as Raden Umar Said, as the son of Raden Said.
A big distinction of Sunan Muria - apart from the other Sunans - was his very close relationship with the common people. He tended to spread his teaching in rural and remote areas, including teaching local
people in agriculture, fishery, and other things.
A nearby mountain, Mount Muria, has been named after him.
