Taj al-Alam

Taj al-Alam Safiatuddin Syah (c. 1612 – 23 October 1675), born Putri Sri Alam, was sultana of Aceh from 1641 to 1675, the first of four successive sultanas. Daughter of Iskandar Muda and wife of his successor Iskandar Thani, she was enthroned as his widow in 1641, governed by negotiation with the nobility and the ulama, withstood VOC pressure over the tin and pepper trades, and presided over a flowering of Islamic literature and learning at her court — Abd al-Ra'uf al-Singkili composed his Mir'at al-Tullab at her request — dying in 1675 without children.
