Abdul Jalilul Akbar ibnu Muhammad Hasan (Jawi: عبد الجليل الأكبر ابن محمد حسن; died 1659),[1] also known as Marhum Tua, was the eleventh Sultan of Brunei.[2] Reigning for 61 years from 1598 until 1659, Abdul Jalilul Akbar is the longest reigning Sultan of Brunei to date.
According to Jamil Al-Sufri's Tersilah Brunei, he was quoted being a wise ruler and quick to understand antics of his brother, Ibrahim Ali Omar Shah.[1] Through his rule, Brunei saw the strengthening of ties between the Spanish Empire, which was heavily affected by the Castilian War. Moreover, it was only during his reign where the Sultan Hasan's Canons (Syariah Penal Code) were fully implemented and used.[3]
