The empire's expansion

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

The segment of Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma is here again. I’m trying very hard and the best I can to sort the history from the first king until the last emperor. Like I say previously, the more I studied it, the more complicated it becomes.

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

THE NEW LAND


Prince Merong Maha Wong Ser founded a new Kingdom of Kedah after receive a letter of appointment from his father, Emperor Sheikh Huang Di. Merong Maha Wong Ser established a new city of Kuala Muda near Sungai Mas after landed at Yan to find the Ayut’ia Palace belong to a faithful son of Nabi Nuh, Wali al-Mustapha. Merong Maha Wong Ser is styled as Sultan Mad Zafar Shah I. He married with Sharifah Mariam, daughter to Syed Jamal al-Jefrey of Bani Hashim. Their married is blessed with a son named Syed Jamalul Alam Badrul Munir styled as Phodiset.

Syed Jamalul Alam Badrul Munir played a major role in expanding the kingdom. According to Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, Syed Jamalul Alam has opened a new land named the State of Siam Lancang located in modern Thailand. In Siamese word, Lan-cang means “Gerak Bijak” or “smart move”, a brilliant approach by Phodiset to spread Islam without any spills of blood. Siam Lancang is an Islamic state and part of the Kingdom of Kedah at that time covers all the peninsular. Later, the land is called as Malaka. Phodiset later inherited the throne and styled as Sultan Mad Zafar Shah II. He resides at Bukit Tirik Palace, (located at Pagoh, Johor. At that time, Johor also included in the territory of The State of Siam Lancang).

P.S : In Siamese word, Ma-la-ka means “Marilah Niaga” or “Let’s do business”.

Before 1800s, the Malaysian Peninsular is known as Tanah Malaka.

Syed Jamalul Alam Badrul Munir has a son named Saiyidina Ali. He becomes the King of Acheh in 222 Hijriah. The tomb of Saiyidina Ali Wal Maulana Jamalul Alam Badrul Munir located at Makam Langgar, Tanjung Inggeris, Kota Setar, Kedah.

"The land of Malacca is called a land of Siam, and the whole of Siam, Champa and thereabouts is called China."

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

Previously, we have learned the introduction of Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma. For today topic, we will learn on the foundation of the Empire. Well, the empire did not built in a single night after all. Maybe most of the viewer does not like to learned history, so, I will try to be simple as possible.

Foundation of Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma

Emperor Sai Tee Sung

The Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma is opened by Raja Merong Mahawangsa, grandchildren to Emperor Sai Tee Sung of the Tang Dynasty. They are descendents of Muslim who received Islam by Ibn Waqas who comes to China to propagate Islam (around 650M). Emperor Sai Tee Sung is the father to Emperor Shiekh Huang Ti Rom Chin Ser Wong. Sai Tee Sung ordered his son to build a mosque in “Khen Jang”.

P.S : (In Siamese word, Khen-Jang means Naik Jangkah. Khen-Jang probably refers to Qinqiang, Shaanxi Province, China).

The Xian Mosque

Emperor Sheikh Huang Ti Rom Chin Ser Wong later ordered his first prince, Merong Maha Wong Ser to propagate Islam at the Malay Peninsular while his second prince, Song went to Vietnam (Prince Song full name and history is unknown). His father ordered Maha Wong Ser to search a mountain with ruins of Mosque and Palace at the top. Later, Maha Wong Ser received a Kheta (Letter of Appointment) from his father. Before he leaves, his subordinates have already leaves to search for the place mention by the Emperor. They later arrive at a mountain and landing at a place name Yan. They later climb the mountain to investigate.

P.S : Merong Maha Wong Ser means “Naga Laut Pembesar Bangsa Harimau" (literally, the The Sea Dragon, Leader of the Tiger Race)”

Later, the subordinates of Maha Wong Ser wait for their Prince arrival. Prince Maha Wong Ser arrives at the destination around 175 Hijriah with hundreds of naval ships and thousands of soldiers. The subordinates who have climbed the mountain confirmed to Maha Wong Ser that they had found the ruins of a Palace and a mosque. After landing at Yan, Maha Wong Ser asks his subordinates, “Joo-Rai?” (Means “Siapa duduk”, or “Who’s settled here?”). Thus, up until now, the mountain is known as Gunung Jerai. Merong Maha Wong Ser asks to his father-in-law, Syed Jamal al-Jefri of Bani Hashim about the palace on top of the mountain. Syed Jamal later said it is the Ayut’ia Palace. Both the palace and the mosque are belonged to one of the faithful son of Nabi Nuh, Wali al-Mustapha who resides there. The palace is destroyed during the Great Flood.

(Gunung Jerai, the highest peak at the state of Kedah)

Later, Maha Wong Ser established a new Kingdom and settlement to be built at a valley besides Sungai Mas (Today, the place is known as Lembah Bujang near Sungai Petani). They built a new city named as Kuala Muda and a palace. They also built military fortresses (Today, it is mistakenly believes as a Hindu Temples). Maha Wong Ser is styled as Sultan Mudzaffar Syah.

(The Military Fotress of Kuala Muda today mistakenly believes as Hindu's Temple)

Daughter to Syed Jamal, Syarifah Mariam married with Maha Wong Ser and styled as Syarifah Mariam Pinang Tunggal. Their married is blessed with a prince name Syed Jamalul Alam Badrul Munir, styled as Phodiset.

P.S : In Siamese word, Pi-nang Tung-gal means "Jadi Permaisuri Tunggak Negara", or literally means "Mother of the Nation". While Phodiset means Lelaki Terbaik or The best man.

The tomb of Syarifah Mariam is named as Tok Soh located at Pinang Tunggal. Her husband, the tomb of Merong Mahawangsa who is styled as Sultan Mudzaffar Syah is located at Kg Langgar, Merbok.

Introduction to Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you
Welcome to my blog.

The Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma is also known as Empayar Benua Siam Kedah in Malay. It is an Islamic Empire which ruled the Malay Archipelago in the past. Most of its history today is unknown by the generation today. In the history widely teach in the school today, the Federation of Malaysia previously is the home of the famous Sultanate of Malacca, The Great Malay Empire in the past. During the first time I do my research about Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma, I do not believe it. But it is not until I do my research deeper and found something about a land called as ‘Tanah Malaka’. After that I realize that there is something missing in our history today.

I can say that learning the history of Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma is like playing the PS2 game of Ar-Tonelico. If the history is really is true, then, we actually living in a fairy-tale like history which doesn’t exist. Our fore-fathers lived as a great race and nation, but today, we have lost it. And when we learned it today, we do not understand it. It's just like an ancient word that has lost forever.

P.S – In my blog, I will state both history that we learned and Siamese Kedah Pasai Ma. Which one is true or false, it is up to you to decide.
