Kyai Hajji Wasyid bin Muhammad Abbas (born Qosyid;[2] 1843 – 30 July 1888) better known as Ki Wasyid, was an Indonesian hero who led the Cilegon war on July 9, 1888, until his fall on the battlefield on July 30, 1888, in Banten.[3] In practice, Ki Wasyid's movement in the war was heavily influenced by the thinking of his teachers: Nawawi al-Bantani and Abdul Karim al-Bantani, a murshid of Qadiriyyah wa Naqshbandiyah tariqa (Sufi order).[4]
In his struggle, he has strategic skills and capabilities, such as how he conducts political communications with ulama, jawara, and other fighters in Banten and outside Banten to engage in war against the Dutch colonialists.[5]
