"Allah Peliharakan Sultan" (Jawi: الله ڤليهاراكن سلطان‎; "God Bless the Sultan") is the national anthem of Brunei Darussalam. The anthem is sung in Malay, the national language of the country. It was written by Pengiran Haji Muhammad Yusuf bin Pengiran Abdul Rahim, better known by his pen name Yura Halim, and composed by Haji Besar bin Sagap in 1947. The song was adopted in 1951 as the national anthem of the British protectorate of Brunei. It was adapted as the national anthem of Brunei Darussalam upon independence from the United Kingdom, and was sung as the national anthem of the independent state at the stroke of midnight 1 January 1984.
