The Sultanate of Demak is considered one of the most important Islamic kingdoms that emerged in the Southeast Asian region. This importance was derived from two main factors: the first is the pioneering role it played in spreading the Islamic religion on the island of Java and the archipelago region in general, and it was able to fill the void created by the fall of Malacca in the hand of the Portuguese in 917 AH/1511 AD. Its religious leadership also forced it to enter into a military conflict with these Portuguese in order to regain Malacca. Although it failed in that mission, it succeeded in confronting the Portuguese Crusader project aimed at imposing political and religious hegemony in the region. The second factor in Demak's fame is its control over most of the cities on the northern coast of Java, thus giving it the ability to control trade routes. The great wealth that trade brought to Demak played an important role in increasing the power and influence of that kingdom, both economically and politically.
