'Bravijaya, the last king of Majapahit, married a princess of Cempa. A sister of the queen was married to a Muslim and had two sons, Rahmat and Santri. Now this Muslim converted the queen to Islamic faith and sent his two sons to her. Rahmat married the daughter of a chief (Tumenggung) of Vilvatikta, while his brother Santri married the daughter of Arya Teja, the chief of Tuban. The two brothers settled respectively at Ngampel (Surabaya) and Gresik. Rahmat became afterwards celebrated as the first apostle of Islam in Java, made many proselytes, and constructed the first mosque ever built in Java.²
