Wali Songo

The Nine Scholar-Preachers Who Spread Islam in Java

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.”
