Abstract
In the early 19th century, there are a scholar from Patani (Thailand) named Shaykh Abdul Qadir bin Abdul Rahim. He received the title of Shaykh Bukit Bayas for migrating to Terengganu and eventually settled in that village (Bukit Bayas) until the end of his life. The highlight of his contribution to the state of Terengganu and its citizens was when he appointed as the first State Government Mufti by Baginda Omar. However, his name is not very well known despite his character and influence. This contrasts with the fame enjoyed by some of his students such as Tok Ku Tuan Besar and Tok Syeikh Duyong. Hence, this study attempts to show the character and contributions of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Bukit Bayas especially in Islamic Jurisprudence. Also highlighted in the article is Sheikh's biography, his teachers, his students, and his special work in Islamic Jurisprudence. The highlight of this study is the contribution and thought of fiqh generated by Sheikh which has a positive impact on the local community at that time. The research method used was document analysis, then analyzed by content analysis and method of comparison. The study concludes that Shaykh Abdul Qadir was a prominent scholar in Terengganu at that time, especially in the field of Islamic Jurisprudence and Sufism. The finding aslo found that he seems to be quite open in the diversity of the sect, he is very firm in defending the principles of Islamic legislation. Hopefully today's society can benefit from the legacy of Shaykh Abdul Qadir and the ranks of past scholars.
