In Aceh Singkil, there is a village called Silatong. This village, including in Suro District. The area where Sheikh Abdurrauf first studied a number of Islamic principles to his father Sheikh Ali Fansuri or brother of poet / Sufi / ulama Shaykh Hamzah Fansuri.

In Silatong Village, currently, there is only a resident named Lembong. His age is advanced. It is estimated to be around 75 years. Sepintas Lembong looks like a common citizen. But after being reviewed and based on his confession, apparently he was included in the family tree of Sheikh Abdurrauf Al-Singkili.

As a descendant of the family of Sheikh Abdurrauf, Lembong knows a lot of stories and genealogies of scholars who have talent and are famous to foreign countries. The man also collected some inheritance or inheritance from Sheikh Abdurrauf. There are sticks, prayer beads, and handwritten Al-Quran Sheikh Abdurrauf Al-Singkili.

"This is the inheritance and inheritance of Sheikh Abdurrauf which I keep and keep. In the past this inheritance was often here and there, if there were exhibitions or cultural performances. But right now, I don't allow it, "said Lembong while showing relics.

The handwritten Quran of Sheikh Abdurrauf Al-Singkili, including Syekh Abdurrauf's masterpiece or masterpiece besides 22 other masterpieces. Like, one interpretation book in Malay, two books of hadith, three books of fiqh, and the book of Sufism.

Al-Quran which residents of the area call it Al-Quran Abdurrauf, written in Arabic. Wear ancient paper and ink from colored wood sap. This form of Al-Quran has a length of 30 cm and a width of 20 cm.

Even though the physical condition of the Koran, it seems to be damaged because it is old age, but it can still be read clearly.

However, if the Koran is not immediately maintained or maintained using existing technology, certainly the goods will be damaged or even destroyed.

One thing is very unfortunate if the quran written by ulama classmates Syekh Abdurrauf Al Singkili must be destroyed. It is desirable that the Aceh Singkil Government pay attention to this heritage.

This is important because;

The inheritance is the holy book of the Qur'an, we understand that Aceh in general and Singkil in particular apply Islamic sharia which is basically in the Qur'an
This legacy is from Sheikh Abdurrauf Al Singkili, a figure of world ulama who has great and valued works in the literary and Islamic world. This figure clearly represents Singkil and is listed in his name, has made a dayah / pesantren to study Islam on Singkil land.
Good adherents of Islam are those who are close to the ulama. Are not the scholars the successors of the Prophets. We should preserve the heritage of the Prophet's successor.
The author believes that preserving the ulama's heritage is very beneficial for the next generation in Aceh Singkil and Aceh in general.

Hopefully this article can be found by related parties or people who want and are able to preserve the words of God that have been written by the scholars of Sheikh Abdurrauf.
