The Batu Tarsilah (Genealogical Stone Tablet) is a stone tablet listing the genealogy of Bruneian sultans from 1363 to 1804 CE, in addition to historical records such as Malay manuscripts and oral narratives. The Batu Tarsilah, a stone inscription dating back to 1807, documents Brunei's royal ancestry and was commissioned by Sultans Muhyiddin and Husin Kamaluddin. The tablet is regarded as the most trustworthy source for verifying Brunei's monarchy's ties to the Prophet Moḥammad's lineage (Ahl al-Bayt) and the Quraysh through comparative research based on Islamic genealogy, hence bolstering the legitimacy and sovereignty of Brunei's rulers. The historical and cultural grandeur of the sultanate is symbolised by this tablet.
