Tarjumān al-Mustafīd

The Tarjumān al-Mustafīd, which was written in Aceh in the late 17^th century by Sheikh ‘Abd al-Ra’ūf al-Fansūrī al-Singkilī, was completed with the help of ‘Abd al-Rā’ūf’s student and co-author, Bābā Dāwūd al-Rūmī (d. first half of 18th century).  The Tarjumān al-Mustafīd was first printed in Istanbul in 1884, from a manuscript brought to Istanbul and presented to Sultan Abdulhamid II by Ahmad al-Fatānī (d. 1908), supervisor of the Malay printing press in Mecca.
