According to the history of Islam's easy conquest of Aceh is also inseparable from the basic religion that is embraced, because between Islam and Hinduism almost the same implementation, just different akidahnya, Hindus also have the Peusijuk tradition in Islam also there Peusijuk tradition only different purposes and ways.

Indra Patra's fortress consists of a 4900-square-meter main castle and three other fortresses, two of which have been destroyed. This archaeological site was founded around 604 AD by the ruling King Harsya's son in India, who escaped from the pursuit of the Hunan Nation. The existence of this fort became a historical relic of the process of entry of Hindu influences from India to Aceh. It was estimated that at that time, the Hindu Kingdom, Lamuri, began to develop in the North Coast of Aceh Besar. This fort is one of the three forts that mark the triangle region of the Hindu kingdom of Aceh, namely Indra Patra, Indra Puri and Indra Purwa.

The Seulawah Agam aircraft is the first Air Force of the Republic of Indonesia. The plane was a prize collected from the Acehnese People from Entrepreneurs.

On June 16, 1948, President Soekarno came to Aceh and attended a joint meal organized by the Indonesian Saudagar Association of Aceh (Gasida), at Atjeh Hotel, Banda Aceh, before the dinner started, Sukarno stood and asked for permission time to talk, "I will not eat tonight, if the funds to buy planes have not been collected".

Prior to the meeting Soekarno had already met with these entrepreneurs, Sukarno appealed voluntary assistance to them to purchase an Aircraft as a means of traveling the Presidency. The logical reason that Soekarno conveyed at the time was the vastness of Indonesia, which would not be observed by land travel.

After conducting a joint Deliberation, the Acehnese entrepreneurs who joined in GASIDA agreed with the request of President Soekarno, even the entrepreneurs directly collect the money at that time. In the morning of 17 June 1948 President Soekarno gave a speech in the Blang Padang banda Aceh field, and informed him that his arrival to Aceh was specifically to request assistance for the purchase of aircraft from GASIDA.

After the donations were collected, in the form of money, gold bars and jewelery, and other goods belonging to the Aceh People, President Soekarno returned to Jakarta.

On the 1st of August 1948 Gasida Chairman Muhammad Juned Yusuf and several members of the Dakota Fund Committee on August 1, 1948 left for Singapore with the funds and two kilograms of gold.

The funds are then used to purchase a Dakota plane and become the first transport plane owned by the Indonesian nation. Dakota aircraft donations from the people of Aceh was then given the name Dakota RI-001 Seulawah. Seulawah itself means "Golden Mountain".
