Tombo Ati

Tombo Ati is a traditional Javanese song composed by Sunan Bonang,[1] one of Wali Sanga, from Tuban, East Java.

The song is about a Muslim's ways of gaining spiritual peace and tranquility, through tahajjud, reciting the Qur'an, fasting, gathering with pious people, and in constant remembrance of god, all of which are considered to be "Remedies for the Heart".

This song is still being taught at pesantrens, and has been sung, recorded and released by several Indonesian singers.

The key message of this song is that in order to gain spiritual peace, someone must follow the guidance of God.

[3] Due to its spiritual contents, pesantrens often teach it, particularly in traditional inland parts of Java.
