Abdul Mubin

Abdul Hakkul Mubin (also: Abdul Mubin ; † 1673 on Pulau Chermin , Brunei ) was the thirteenth Sultan of Brunei according to official census.

In 1673 he was again killed by his successor, Muhyiddin .

Life

origin

Abdul Hakkul Mubin was initially Pengiran (prince). His father was the Pengiran Bendahara Pengiran Muhammad and his mother was Raja Dungu . Two of his wives are known by name: Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Puteri Noralam and Bu Angsa .

Seizure of power

In 1660 his son was killed by Pengiran Muda Bongsu , a son of Sultan Muhammad Ali, because of a cockfight . In retaliation, he killed the Sultan and proclaimed himself Sultan, taking the name Abdul Hakkul Mubin. In order to calm down the supporters of his predecessor, he appointed the grandson (and son-in-law) of Muhammad Ali, Muhyiddin, as the new Bendahara (Chief Minister). However, the opponents were not so easy to calm down. They urged the Bendahara Muhyiddin to rebel against Abdul Mubin. At first Muhyddin hesitated. His followers began to cause unrest by attacking palaces and houses with spears. On the advice of Muhyiddin, Abdul Hakkul Mubin moved his palace to Pulau Chermin , an island at the mouth of the Brunei River, to sit out the crisis. After his move, however, Muhyiddin proclaimed himself the fifteenth sultan and a military conflict ensued.

Civil war

In the meantime, Abdul Mubin fled to Kinarut (in today's Papar , Sabah , Malaysia ), where he was able to fend off repeated attacks by Sultan Muhyiddin for ten years. Both returned to Brunei after Muhyiddin's forces failed to defeat Abdul Mubin in a final battle. Muhyiddin wanted to end the civil war and asked his relative, the Sultan of Sulu, for support and it is said that he had promised him the eastern part of Sabah as a reward. After Muhyiddin had entered into an alliance with the Sulu Sultanate , the united troops began to encircle Abdul Hakkul Mubin on the island of Pulau Chermin. The Brunei troops who made themselves available to Muhyiddin were transferred to Bukit Chendana . They should get cannons ready to target Pulau Chermin. While Sulu's troops were transferred to a position in the Brunei Sea near Pulau Kaingaran . During the Civil War, Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin was desperate, so much so that he even used the royal regalia such as the Sultanate's crown as ammunition . With it he fired at the troops from Sulu.

Pengiran Karma , possibly a general and relative of Muhyiddin, and the Sulu forces, led by Betara Sulu , were able to dock at Pulau Chermin. They met the sultan in the mosque of Chermin, where he had taken refuge. The Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin begged for mercy unsuccessfully. He was killed with the Garrotte or the Kris . According to the Silsilah Raja-Raja Berunai , the sultan was buried in Pulau Chermin. His property fell to Muhyiddin. As a reward for their support, the Sultanate of Sulu received the areas of Kimanis and parts of eastern Sabah as promised .
