Sheikh Mas Mohammad Arsyad Thawil al-Bantani[2] (1851 – March 19, 1934) better known as Sheikh Arsyad Thawil was an ulama (Islamic scholar) and Indonesian hero who fought on the Cilegon War from 9 to 30 July 1888 with Ki Wasyid, Tubagus Ismail, and others.[3] Thawil was a student of Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani, an Indonesian Islamic teacher from Banten who became the Imam of the Great Mosque of Mecca.[4][5]

In December 1945, Sukarno, as the president of Indonesia delivered a speech before the people of Banten in Serang square. At the beginning of his speech, Sukarno mentioned that Arsyad Thawil was a great hero from Banten.[6][7]
