Wali Songo refers to a group of nine Islamic saints who played a crucial role in spreading Islam in Java, Indonesia, during the 15th and 16th centuries. They are known for their efforts to promote Islamic teachings while respecting local traditions, which helped to facilitate the acceptance of Islam among the Javanese people. Each of the Wali Songo had unique methods and approaches to teaching, often using art, culture, and community engagement.
