A gateway on Jl. Ampel Suci nearby leads to one of java’s most sacred mosque, and the grave of Sunan Ngampel, one of the nine missionaries (wali sanga) who first bought Islam to Java in the 15th century. Heterodox traditionhave grown around the wali sanga and they have been attributed with almost divine power. People gather around the tomb to pray and ask for favours. Although veneration of the dead is strictly forbidden under Islam. Good Muslims merely pray to Allah for the peace of the dead man’s soul.
