Muhammad Alam

Muhammad Alam ibnu Muhammad Kanzul Alam (died ) was the self-proclaimed 22nd sultan of Brunei from 1826 to 1828, the year he is alleged to have died. Due to his tough and strict attitude, he was given the Malay nicknames Raja Api (King of Fire) and Sultan Marak Berapi. Despite being perceived as a fragile and progressively protective kingdom, Brunei managed to hold onto its lands under his rule, which stretched from Tanjong Datu in Sarawak to Kimanis in Sabah.

His rise to power as the Sultan was disliked by most of the population of Brunei and ignored royal Bruneian tradition which led to the second civil war between him and his successor, Pengiran Muda Omar Ali Saifuddin. Muhammad Alam may have briefly assumed the title of Sultan because he portrays Sultan Muhammad Alam, who ruled from 1826 to 1828, in the 1986 family tree. When a second civil war broke out between him and Raja Noor Alam in the period between 1826 and 1828, the Bruneian royals once more had a harsh ordeal. Provided by Wikipedia
