A Walisongo saint who founded the town of Kudus (named after Jerusalem/al-Quds) and built the famous Menara Kudus mosque blending Hindu-Javanese (Majapahit) architecture. He is emblematic of culturally sensitive preaching (e.g., refraining from cattle slaughter). He died c. 958/1550. (Sources: Wikipedia; NU Online.)
