Abdul Momin ibni Abdul Wahab (died 1885) was the 24th Sultan of Brunei from 1852 until his death in 1885.[1]
Abdul Momin was known as a just and devout ruler throughout his rule, and he was given the posthumous title "Sultan Keramat" (Blessed Sultan). In order to adjust to the changes, he restructured Brunei's government, signed treaties with the British, and took a tolerant and diplomatic stance. Notably, at Limbang in 1884, he eliminated taxes such the Tolongan, Labuh Sauh, Basuh Batis, and Serah Dagang. He established the Umanah (Amanat) in 1885 to thwart the Brooke family's and the British North Borneo Chartered Company's aggressive growth. But his attempts to protect Brunei's independence were short-lived since he died in 1885.[1]
