Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah: Melaka's Religious Reformer

6 min8 juni 2026

In this episode of The Story of Malaysia, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah (1477–1488), the sixth Sultan of Melaka. While earlier episodes covered Melaka's trade and piracy, this conversation focuses on Alauddin's lesser-known legacy: his push for Islamic orthodoxy and the cracking down on syncretic practices. We discuss the role of the Sufi scholar Maulana Abu Bakar, the tension with the Orang Laut, the construction of the first stone mosque in Melaka, and the mysterious death of the Bendahara Tun Perak's successor. The episode also touches on the early spread of Islam in the Malay world and the cultural shifts that preceded the Portuguese invasion. Specific terms include: Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah, Maulana Abu Bakar, Orang Laut, Bendahara, Melaka, syariah, surau, and the Melaka Mosque.
