(Translated by Google) According to the tomb caretaker, Yarsi, Kiai Minhajul Abidin or commonly known as Kiai Minhaj Gabudan was a respected scholar of that era. "Kiai Minhaj, at that time was a prominent cleric in the Surakarta Palace," explained the middle-aged mother, to NU Online, Thursday (7/17).
From the pedigree, Kiai Minhaj is believed to still have a lineage with Sunan Ampel. Meanwhile, the wife came from the Pabelan area of u200bu200bKedu, Central Java. Written from a number of information displayed around the tomb complex, recorded until 2003, Kiai Minhaj died about 250 years ago.
Also explained, Kiai Minhaj had been a teacher of the King of Surakarta at the time, PB IV. The king even gave land and built a mosque and boarding school in the Gabudan area, which is located south of Solo City, for the purpose of Da'wah Minhaj preaching.
Kiai Minhaj's scientific capacity can be seen in several manuscripts of the books he had written. The books are stored in the Library of the Great Mosque of Solo, along with other manuscripts.
In the tomb complex, besides the tomb of Kiai Minhaj and his wife, there are also other tombs, including the tomb of two of his sons, Kiai Hasan and Kiai Umar.
Yarsi revealed, every Friday night, the tomb is almost crowded with pilgrims. "Except Friday night Kliwon, because pilgrims usually go to the place of Habib Lutfi in Pekalongan," he said.
