A Minangkabau jurist and preacher who Islamized South Sulawesi (early 17th century). With his companions he spread Islam among the kingdoms of Luwu, Gowa, Tallo, Gantarang (Sulawesi), Kutai (Kalimantan) and Bima (Nusa Tenggara); he converted the Raja of Luwu in 1605 and then the rulers of Gowa and Tallo, marking the formal Islamization of South Sulawesi (id.wikipedia, "Datuk ri Bandang"; Detik.com biography). He settled and died in Makassar; his tomb, holding 61 graves of followers, is a major pilgrimage site especially before Ramadan and is protected as a cultural-heritage (cagar budaya) site. His death year is not firmly recorded in the sources.
