KINGDOM OF DAYA MEUREUHOM
About the king (2017)
Present Raja (2017): Teuku Saifullah bin Teuku Hasymi El Hakimi, keturunan ke-13 raja Daya.
History of the kingdom of Daya Meureuhom
The kingdom of Daya was established in the year 1480 AD, by the first king “Salathin Alaidin Ri’ayat Sulthan Shah” or better known by the nickname “Po Teumeureuhom“, or “Cik Po Kandang”, who oversaw four kingdoms, which were allied, namely:
* Kingdom of Keuluang
* Kingdom of Lamno
* Kingdom of Kuala Unga, and
* Kingdom of Kuala Daya.
This kingdom was part of the kingdom of Aceh set by Sultanah Siti Hur Khairil Barri Wal Bahriyah, who ruled 1520 AD – 1553 AD.
The kingdom of Daya was founded by refugees from Indra Jaya Kingdom, a kingdom centered at the Pantie Bie (Seudu). The reason they evacuated was to avoid attacks by Chinese naval soldiers attacking their country. Indra Jaya King also took refuge to a fertile flat land next to Mount Geurutee. Seeing the location, King Indra Jaya and his entourage settled in the area so named Indra Jaya.
Then a group of preachers of Meurah Pupok (Teungku Sagop) came to the Indra Jaya Kingdom. They succeeded in developing Islam and its king also embraced Islam. Finally, Meurah Pupok was appointed king and his kingdom was named kingdom of Daya.
Among the famous kings of the descendants of Meurah Pupok was Meureuhom Onga (The late Onga). After Onga died, the Kingdom of Power suffered setbacks and chaos. Finally came king Inayat Syah and his son Riayat Shah of the kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. The crown prince Riayat Shah was made king of Daya with the title of Sultan Salathin Riayat Syah, while his father, Sultan Inayat Syah still ruled the kingdom of Aceh Darussalam, 1480-1490.
When the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam was ruled by Syamsu Shah, 1497-1511 occurred a dispute with the kingdom of Daya, that the kingdom of Daya had been affected by the Portuguese incitement. Finally they reconciled after the Sultan Syamsu Shah (Raja Muda Ali Mughayat Shah) married Princess King Power (Princess Hur). On November 12, 1508, Sultan Salathin Riayat Shah died. This kingdom was later known as Meureuhom Daya.
The Kingdom of (Meureuhom) Daya is located in Aceh, north Sumatera, district Aceh Barat Daya, province of Aceh.
The kingdom was founded in 1480.
