Muhammad Jamalul Alam II (1889 – 11 September 1924) was the 26th Sultan of Brunei from 1906 until his death in 1924.[1] His reign aimed to encourage new developments in agriculture, medicine, and education.[2] Additionally, he also encouraged learning Islam and built a mosque despite the country's lack of revenue.[2] During World War II, the mosque was destroyed due to the intense shelling and fighting within the towns in Brunei.[3] His reign also oversaw Brunei during its most impoverished state.[4]
