The tomb of Nahrasyiah Tri Ibn Battutah, a famous Muslim traveler from Morocco, recorded a very memorable thing for him while visiting a kingdom on the east coast of Sumatra around the year 1345 AD. After sailing for 25 days from Barhnakar (now entering Myanmar territory), Battuta landed in a very fertile place. Trade in the area is very advanced, marked by the use of gold coins. He was increasingly amazed that when he came to the city he found a very beautiful big city surrounded by walls and wooden towers. The coastal trading town is the capital of the Pasai Ocean Kingdom. Samudera Pasai (or Pase if following the local community name) is not only noted as a very influential empire in the development of Islam in the archipelago. During the reign of Sultan Malikul Dhahir, Samudera Pasai developed into an international trading center. The port is enlivened by traders from Asia, Africa, China, and Europe. The glory of Samudera Pasai in Geudong Ocean, North Aceh, begins with the unification of a number of small kingdoms in the Peurelak region, such as Rimba Jreum and Seumerlang. Sultan Malikussaleh was one of the descendants of the kingdom who conquered several small kingdoms and established the Kingdom of the Ocean in 1270 AD. Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Kadir Ibn Abdul Kadir was married to Gari Sari, a daughter of the Peureulak Islamic empire. From the marriage, born two sons named Malikul Dhahir and Malikul Mansyur. After they grew up, Malikussaleh handed the throne to his eldest son Malikul Dhahir. He founded a new empire named Pasai. When Malikussaleh passed away, Malikul Dhahir merged the two kingdoms into Pasai Ocean. In the story of his journey to Pasai, Ibn Battuta describes Sultan Malikul Dhahir as a very pious, benevolent, humble king, and caring for the poor. Though he has conquered many kingdoms, Malikul Dhahir has never been congenial. Humility was shown by the king when welcoming the entourage of Ibn Battuta. The guests are welcome to sit on a stretch of cloth, while he immediately sits on the ground without any ground. With his humble private mirror, the king who ruled Samudera Pasai in the period 1297-1326 AD, on his tombstone is carved a poem in Arabic, which means, it is the glorious tomb of Malikul Dhahir, the light of the world of religious rays. Noted, during the 13th century to early 16th century, Samudera Pasai was known as one of the cities in the Malacca Strait with a very busy port city. Along with Pidie, Pasai became the center of international trade with pepper as one of the main export commodities. At that time Pasai is estimated to export pepper about 8,000- 10,000 bahara each year, in addition to other commodities such as silk, camphor, and gold imported from the interior. It is not just an advanced import-export trade. As an advanced trade fair, Samudera Pasai issued currency as a means of payment.
