The following list is widely accepted, but its authenticity relies much on repeated citations of a handful of early sources, reinforced as "facts" in school textbooks and other modern accounts. The composition of the nine saints varies, depending on different sources. Most of the wali songo had some Chinese ancestry for example, Sunan Ampel (Chinese name Bong Swi Ho), Sunan Bonang (Ampel's son, Bong Ang), and Sunan Kalijaga (Gan Si Cang). Some of these spiritual lineages are cited by van Bruinessen in his study of the Banten Sultanate, particularly in regard to Sunan Gunung Jati who was an initiate of various Sufi orders.Īlthough popular belief sometimes refers to the wali songo as "founders" of Islam on Java, the religion was present by the time the Chinese Muslim admiral Zheng He arrived during his first voyage (1405-1407 CE). Although silsila are listed in various Javanese royal chronicles (such as Sejarah Banten) to denote ancestral lineage, the term in Sufism refers to a lineage of teachers. Tracing the lineage back further than Maulana Malik Ibrahim is problematic. The earliest wali songo was Maulana Malik Ibrahim (originally from Samarkand) who arrived on Java in 1419 CE. Some Muslim mystics came to Java from Gujarat, India via Samudera Pasai (part of what is now Aceh). The graves are also known as pundhen in Javanese. The graves of Wali Sanga are venerated as locations of ziarah (ziyarat) or local pilgrimage in Java. (See "Style and Title" section of Yogyakarta Sultanate for an explanation of Javanese nobility terms.) Most of the wali were also called raden during their lifetimes, because they were members of royal houses. Thus, the term is often translated as "9 saints".Įach man is often attributed the title sunan in Javanese, which may derive from suhun, in this context meaning "honoured".
The word wali is Arabic for "trusted one" ("guardian" in other contexts in Indonesia) or "friend of God" ("saint" in this context), while the word songo is Javanese for the number nine.
