Abdul Jalilul Akbar ibnu Muhammad Hasan (

Sultan of Brunei.[2]
Reigning for 61 years from 1598 until 1659, Abdul Jalilul Akbar is the longest reigning Sultan of Brunei to date.

According to Jamil Al-Sufri's Tersilah Brunei, he was quoted being a wise ruler and quick to understand antics of his brother, Ibrahim Ali Omar Shah.[1] Through his rule, Brunei saw the strengthening of ties between the Spanish Empire, which was heavily affected by the Castilian War. Moreover, it was only during his reign where the Sultan Hasan's Canons (Syariah Penal Code) were fully implemented and used.[3]

Reign (1598–1659)

Prior to ascending to the throne, he was known as Raja Tua Abdul Jalil. He was the eldest son of his father,

malay sultanates including Brunei and the Spanish Empire, he established and improved ties with the Spaniards at Manila in 1599. Additionally, a peace treaty was signed by both parties and to facilitate trade between Brunei and the Philippines.[4]

It was during his reign when a

Dutch began establishing trading centers in the island of Borneo.[8]

Personal life

Sultan Abdul Jalilul Akbar was married three times, with his second wife being Radin Mas Ayu Siti Aishah binti Pengiran (Kiyai) Temenggong Manchu Negoro Gerisik.[1][9] He had a total of 8 children and those known were:

In 1599, Sultan Abdul Jalilul Akbar named his brother, Pengiran Raja Tengah Ibrahim Ali Omar Shah as the first Sultan of Sarawak.[12] Tradition has it that after Sultan Ibrahim Ali Omar Shah died in 1641, no sultan was chosen, and Sarawak was governed by four local datu until the first White Rajah arrived in 1842. He was frequently identified as Sultan Abdul Jalilul Akbar's son or grandchild. But, Sambas' sources provided his son, Radin Sulaiman's exact birthdate, which was 14 April 1601. This made it difficult for Raja Tengah Ibrahim and Sultan Abdul Jalilul Akbar to have a relationship of this kind. The latter did have a son who was known as Raja Tengah, but Sultan Abdul Jalilul Jabbar was the name given to the prince who succeeded him.[13]

Death

Sultan Abdul Jalilul Akbar passed away after ruling the sultanate for 61 years in 1659. After his death, he was known as Marhum Tua.[6][14]
