Abstract

Basyuni `Imran was the last Maharaja Imam (highest religious official) of the Malay sultanate of Sambas in West Borneo and as such part of the traditional religious establishment. At the same time however he was a convinced reformist and probably Rashid Rida's most prominent and devoted disciple in the Archipelago.
