Lombok is a province in Indonesia. As the name implies, it covers the western province of Nusa Tenggara islands. The two largest islands in the province is located in western Lombok and Sumbawa are located in the east. This provincial capital is located in the city of Mataram Lombok. Most of the population are from ethnic Sasak Lombok, Bima and Sumbawa while the tribe is the largest ethnic group in the island of Sumbawa. The majority of the population is Muslim West Nusa Tenggara (96%).Later, when the Kingdom was led by King Rangkesari, Prapen Prince, son of Sunan Giri came to Islamize the kingdom of the Queen of Lombok. Lombok is mentioned in the Chronicle, this effort is the Islamization of Raden Paku or Sunan Giri Queen of coarse sand, Surabaya who commanded the kings of East Java and Palembang to spread Islam to the different areas of the archipelago. "Queen Susuhnii Giri ordered the new faith spread to all corners. Dilembu Manku Rat sent with troops to Banjarmasin, Datu Bandan sent to the Macassar, Tidore, Seram and Galeier and His Majesty's son, Prince Prapen to Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa. Prapen first sailing to Lombok, where by force of arms he forced people to convert to Islam. After completing the task, Prapen sailing to Sumbawa and Bima. However, during the absence, because women still adhere to Pagan beliefs, the people of Lombok back to the pagan ideology. After his victory in Sumbawa and Bhima, Prapen back and assisted by Raden Raden Sumuliya and Salut, he set a new missionary movement achieved success this time.

Some people ran to the mountains, while others were conquered and converted to Islam and some others just conquered. Prapen leave Raden Sumuliya and Raden Salute to maintain the religion of Islam and he himself moved to Bali, where he began negotiations (without success) with Dewa Agung of Klungkung. " The Islamization process by Sunan Prapen reap the menggembirkan, until several years later the whole island of Lombok embraced Islam, except a few places that still maintain the old customs. While in the Kingdom of Lombok, a policy of King Rangkesari done by moving the royal center of the village of Banda Selaparang the proposal Patih Judah and Lion of Judah Patih. The transfer was carried out on the grounds lies the village of Selaparang more strategic and not easily attacked by the enemy than the previous position. According to Zakaria Fathurrahman, from the center of this new kingdom, a beautiful panorama of the Alas Strait can be enjoyed with a blue background from the tip of the island of Sumbawa mainland north to south with a single sweep of the view. Thus any suspicious movement in the middle of the ocean will soon be known. This region also has a rear area of ​​hills and rice paddies are built neatly terraced up Lemor forest that has abundant water resources. Under the leadership of King Rangkesari, Selaparang kingdom evolved into an advanced empire in various fields. One is the development of a culture that later gave birth to many human beings as a treasure of the traditional heritage of Lombok society today. Dutch historian L. C. Van den Berg said that, the development of Languages ​​Kawi strongly influence the formation of an agrarian nature of mind and the magnitude of the role of intellectuals in political social engineering in the archipelago, Fathurrahman Zakaria (1998) mentioned that the intellectual community is very aware Selaparang and Pejanggik Kawi language. Even then it can create its own script called jejawen Sasak. With the capital under their control Kawi language, literacy and language Sasak Sasak, then the pujangganya lot of writing, composing, adapting or copying of ancient Java man into lontar Sasak. Lontar meant, among other Kotamgama, Lapel Adam, Menak Berji, Rengganis and others. Even the poets are also a lot of copying and adapting Sufi teachings of the Walisongo, such lontar entitled Jatiswara, Lontar Nursada and Lontar Nurcahya. Even the tale-tale Malays were much copied and adapted, as Lontar Yusuf, Amir Hamzah Saga, Saga Sidik Orphan and so on. By reviewing lontar, according Fathurrahman Zakaria (1998) we will know the basic principles that guide the social engineering political and socio-cultural kingdom and its people. In political science, for example, Lontar Kotamgama sheet 6 sheets outline the nature and attitude of a king or leader, the Danta, Danti, Kusuma and Warsa. Danta means elephant tusks, when issued may not be included anymore. Danti means saliva, when it is thrown to the ground no longer possible licked. Kusuma means flowers, the flowers may not bloom twice. Warsa means rain, when it has fallen to earth not possibly climb back into the clouds. That is why a king or leader should not be one of the words. In addition, the existing lontar note that terms and phrases with the idea and meaning of the terms have been used in the field of politics and law, for example, said hanut (using the rights and obligations), footprint (stable), superimposed (bertata manners) , rit (orderly), teak (main), tuhu (seriously), devotion (devotion, loyalty) or integral (regular). In the economic field, such as itiq (saving), Loma (philanthropist), kencak (skilled) or genem (diligent). Progress was made royal kingdom Selaparang Gelgel in Bali was not happy. Gelgel who feel as heir to the Majapahit, to attack the kingdom Selaparang in 1520, but failed. Taking lessons from a failed attack on the 1520, cleverly memaanfaatkan Gelgel situasai to send their people infiltrated the settlement opened and rice fields in the south west side of Lombok is lush. Even mentioned, Gelgel take a new strategy by sending Dangkiang Nirartha to enter a new ideology of Hindu-Muslim singkretisme. Although no longer in Lombok, but his teachings have been able to influence some Muslim religious leaders who had recently embraced Islam. But the intention to conquer the Kingdom of the Kingdom Gelgel Selaparang internally stalled because of this Hindu kingdom also stagnated and weaknesses here and there.The arrival of the Dutch VOC in Indonesia who controlled the trade routes in the north has caused outrage Gowa, Gowa so close to the southern trade route by way of mastering the island of Sumbawa and Selaparang. Christianizing mission to stem the westward, the Gowa also occupied West Flores to build the Kingdom of Manggarai. This expansion causes Gelgel Gowa which began to rise was not happy. Gowa faced with a dilemma, they are concerned about the Netherlands utilizing Gelgel. Then reached an agreement with Gelgel through Saganing agreement in 1624 which, among others Gelgel it will not cooperate with the Netherlands and Gowa will release its protection over the backyard considered Selaparang Gelgel. However, there is a change of attitude after the death of Dalem Sagining replaced by Dalem Pemayun Anom. Increasingly clear that the polarization occurs, which is cooperating with Gowa Mataram in Java in order to face the Netherlands. Instead the Dutch succeeded in approaching Gelgel, so that in 1640, Gowa go back to Lombok. Even in 1648, one of Prince Selaparang Pejanggik breed named Mas Mas Pemayan Devel title Aji with Komala, was appointed viceroy, governor represents a kind of Gowa, based on the embers of the island of Sumbawa. Finally, the war between the Dutch Gowa inevitable. Gowa fought hard, especially under the leadership of Sultan Hasanuddin nicknamed the Roosters from the East. History records Bungaya Gowa must accept the agreement in 1667. Bungaya is a region located around the center of the Klungkung kingdom Gelgel that marks the close relation-Dutch Gelgel. Gelgel allegedly trying to exploit the situation by sending an expedition to the central government directly Selaparang in 1668-1669, but the expedition failed. Even Selaparang superior force against its neighbors, namely the Kingdom Gelgel, but at the same time, a new force has emerged from the west as well. The embryo of this power has been around since the beginning of the 15th century with the arrival of illegal immigrants from Karang Asem farmers (Bali) in waves, and established a colony in the Municipality of Mataram today. That power has been transformed as a small kingdom, the kingdom Pagutan and Pagesangan standing in 1622. But the danger is considered a major threat and will continue to appear all of a sudden the foreign powers, the Netherlands at any time to expand. Strength of near neighbors is ignored, because it is so strong Gelgel able to be broken. Because it stood before the royal authority in the region in the western part of this stand, anticipated only by placing a small army under the command of Patinglaga Deneq Wirabangsa. Beyond that there are other factors, especially border issues between Selaparang and Pejanggik a never-ending. This leads to the expected role of a more mutual between the two kingdoms are allied or throwing responsibility. In the raging battle to confront problems and attempt to force new growth from the west, then all of a sudden course, an important figure in the center of the kingdom, the royal duke himself by the name, Prince Arya Getas Banjar, suspected to disagree with the king. Raden Arya finally left Selaparang Getas Banjar and devoted emigration in the first Pejanggik Kingdom (Kingdom of Pejanggik) are located in the Regional District Pejanggik Jonggat On his own initiative, Prince Arya Banjar Getas can drag Pejanggik join an expedition Imperial Army landed Karang Asem which has been followed in West Lombok. Initially based on preliminary information obtained, it would mean the arrival of the expedition to attack the Kingdom Pejanggik. But in historical fact, the expedition had destroyed the Selaparang because the region can be conquered almost without resistance, because it was in very poor condition. This incident occurred in 1672. Center of the kingdom was destroyed and razed to the ground and the king and his family had been murdered. Selaparang fell just three years after facing the Netherlands. Fourteen years later, in 1686 the Kingdom Pejanggik scorch the earth by the Kingdom of Mataram Karang Asem. As a result of the defeat Pejanggik, then the kingdom of Mataram from sovereign became sole ruler in the island of Lombok after previously also burst into small kingdoms.
