Husin Kamaluddin ibnu Muhammad Ali (died c. 1770)[1] or also known as Sultan Kamaluddin Malik Al Dzahir,[2] was the 16th Sultan of Brunei.[3][4] Following his death, he was posthumously given the title of Marhum Di Luba as he lives at Luba.[5] He is descended from the 12th Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Muhammad Ali, as the second son. The nation flourished during his rule, food was easily obtained, and he also introduced Brunei pitis, the nation's first unit of money.[5] Additionally, he is the only sultan to have held the throne twice.[5]

Within the grounds of the Kubah Makam Di Raja (Royal Mausoleum) is a 4 foot (1.2 m)-tall stone known as the Batu Tarsilah. The names of all of Brunei's monarchs from Muhammad Shah to Muhammad Tajuddin, are inscribed on the stone, which was built by two muslim scholars, Datu Imam Yaakub and Pehin Khatib Haji Abdul Latif, at the request of the country's 14th and 16th Sultans, Sultans Muhyiddin and Husin Kamaluddin.[6]
