About Sunan Murya
Sunan Murya was an Indonesian.
Sunan Muria (or Muria) is, according to the Babad Tanah Jawi ("History of the land of Java") manuscripts, one of the nine Wali Sanga ("nine saints") involved in propagating Islam in Indonesia.
He was born as Raden Umar Said, as the son of Raden Said (Sunan Kalijaga).
A big distinction of Sunan Muria - apart from the other Sunans - was his very close relationship with the common people. He tended to spread his teaching in rural and remote areas, including teaching local people in agriculture, fishery, and other things.
A nearby mountain, Mount Muria, has been named after him.
