In 1320, Baginda, a Sumatran arrived bringing the first firearm and settled in Sulu. He ruled the place as a Tomoai (community chief). Upon having met Abu'Bkr a Sufi teacher and trader, Baginda accepted the latter as a son-in-law and also reverted to Islam. Baginda took the regnal name as RAJA BAGINDA ALI. He was one of many who first established settlements but the one to credit as by the position held was Makdum Tuan Mashaika'h a Sufi Teacher as compared to the common trader in the 12th century.
