Sunan Giri (also called Raden Paku or Joko Samudro), and Muhammad Ainul Yakin (born 1442 CE in Blambangan, which is now Banyuwangi) is considered one of the Wali Sanga (revered saints of Islam) in Indonesia.

His family is from Hussani Sayid, no historical evidence that he is from Qadiri family [1] He was the son of Dewi Sekardadu and Maulana Ishak of Melaka (brother of Maulana Malik Ibrahim) and later adopted as a son by Nyai Gede Pinatih, a female merchant.

As a young man, Giri studied in the school of Sunan Ampel, whose daughter he eventually married,[3] and where Raden Patah was his fellow student.

He later established his school in Sidomukti Village [id] at Southern Gresik in East Java, where he got his name ("Giri" means "hill").
