Pesantren, the Great Mosque of Demak, gamelan and wayang — nine scholars are linked with bringing Islam to Java through gentle and wise da‘wah. But were they really a council of nine, and were they the first to bring Islam to Java? The forty-first book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of the Wali Songo — with an honest look separating history from legend. “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction.”
“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.”
