The origin of Aceh is called the Veranda of Mecca

Hai Steemian,,

How is it reported today, may be healthy sentosa yes.
Yes this time i want to tell a little about the origin of aceh called "Serambi Mekkah".

Aceh is a province that is almost one hundred percent of its people are Muslims. Many historians, both at home and abroad who argue that Islam first entered Indonesia through Aceh.


In a number of records, including Wikipedia, that Marco Polo who stopped at Perlak in 1292 declared the country had embraced Islam. So is Samudera Pasai, based on the tomb found in the former kingdom and news sources that exist that this kingdom has become the kingdom of Islam around 1270.

Historically sociologically, the entry and development of Islam into an area is very complex. There are many problems associated with it, such as where it came from, who brought, what the background and how the dynamics, both in terms of Islamic teachings and adherents.

There are several opinions that state when the entry of Islam to Aceh. Hamka, as quoted by Wikipedia, thinks Islam entered Aceh from the first century of Hijri (7th or 8th century) but it became a populist religion in the 9th century as Ali Hasjmy's opinion.

While the orientalists like Snouck Hourgronje argue Islam entered in the 13th century AD which marked the establishment of the Sultanate of Samudra Pasai.

Our question, as the title of this article on the origins of Aceh is called the Veranda of Mecca, that, in the fifteenth century AD, Aceh had received a very honorable title from Nusantara Muslims with the nickname "Serambi Mekkah".

A title full of religious nuance, faith, and piety.

that's a bit the story of the origin of aceh called the "Serambi Mekkah".
