Jami Mosque of Sintang also known as Sultan Nata Mosque is a mosque located in Sintang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The mosque is located within the complex of Istana al-Mukarrammah, the main palace of the Sultanate of Sintang, a kingdom in Sintang which existed since the 13th-century.
The mosque was instrumental in the spread of Islam in Sintang. During the reign of Pangeran Agung, the 17th Raja of Sintang, Islam became the official religion of the kingdom, replacing the former official religion of Hinduism. However, at that time, Sintang did not have a mosque. The learning of Islam was still held in the palace complex, balai kerajaan. Pangeran Tunggal, the son of Pangeran Agung, decided to build a small-sized mosque with a capacity of 50 people. This small mosque is the forerunner of the Jami Mosque of Sintang. [1] [2]
During the reign of Sultan Nata Muhammad Syamsudin (the 19th Sultan of Sintang, the first ruler to use sultan as his title), this small mosque was expanded to become the main mosque of the Sintang Sultanate. The mosque was inaugurated on Muharram 12, 1083 AH (corresponds to May 9, 1672). During the reign of Sultan Abdurrasyid Muhammad Jamaludin (the 21st Raja of Sintang), the mosque was renovated and expanded. The Jami Mosque of Sintang has become an official place of religious activities in the Sultanate of Sintang. During the reign of Raden Abdul Bahri Danu Perdana al-Mukaram (1935), two minarets were added to the left and right of the mosque. [2]
In 1987, the mosque was officially named after the founder of the mosque, Jami Mosque Sultan Nata Sintang. [2]
