Sulṭāna Nurul Alam Naqiatuddin Syah (died 23 January 1678) was the fifteenth ruler of Aceh in northern Sumatra, ruling from 1675 to 1678.
The peaceful rule of the sultanas meant a dismantling of despotism in favour of an institutionalisation of law to protect subjects and foreigners.
The information might rather be understood as a confirmation of the rights of the uleëbalangs (chiefs) vis-à-vis the court: every royal succession would henceforth have to be approved by the three sagis.
Of other events during Nurul Alam's reign, we only know that the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque and the sultan's palace in Kutaraja were destroyed by a violent conflagration, along with royal heirlooms and treasures.
[3] According to some chronicles (which are not confirmed by contemporary sources) Nurul Alam was the mother of a daughter called Puteri Raja Setia, who succeeded her as queen under the name Sultan Inayat Zakiatuddin Syah.
