==Accession to the Throne==

However, he did not have the opportunity to rule Brunei. Instead, his younger brother, Sultan [[Abdul Jalilul Jabbar]] succeeded their father in 1659. When Sultan [[Muhyiddin]] died in 1690, his heir was only 11 years old at that time.<ref name="Umar">{{Cite book|author=Umar, Jamil|year=2008 |title=Dato Godam |edition=fourth |location=Bandar Seri Begawan |publisher=Pusat Sejarah Brunei |page=4 |isbn=99917-34-37-6}}</ref> As [[Nasruddin]]'s father was the first son of Sultan [[Abdul Jalilul Akbar]], [[Nasruddin]] was installed as the 15th Sultan of Brunei.

==Reign==
* His Highness was a competent and wise ruler. He was the first ruler of Brunei to introduce gold coinage in the sultanate.<ref name="royalark.net">{{cite web|url=https://www.royalark.net/Brunei/brunei6.htm|title=brunei6|website=www.royalark.net|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702075717/https://www.royalark.net/Brunei/brunei6.htm.htm|archivedate=2017-07-02|df=}}</ref>
* [[Dato Godam]] visited [[Brunei]]. During the Sultan's reign, he recruited [[Dato Godam]] to serve as his adviser.

==Dato Godam==
During his rule a prince from [[Pagaruyung]], Raja Umar or [[Dato Godam]] visited Brunei. [[Dato Godam]] was greatly favored by the monarch due to his intelligence and experience in administration. As a result, with his expertise [[Dato Godam]] was recruited by the court to act as an advisor to the Sultan. According to oral traditions, [[Dato Godam]] was adored by Sultan Nassaruddin. This was because he was very impressed with [[Dato Godam]]'s sincerity, capability, and guidance.<ref> {{Cite book|author=Umar, Jamil|year=2008 |title=Dato Godam |edition=fourth |location=Bandar Seri Begawan |publisher=Pusat Sejarah Brunei |page=6 |isbn=99917-34-37-6}}</ref>

When [[Dato Godam]]'s father, [[Datu Bendahara Harun]] of Minangkabau, [[Pagaruyung]], sent envoys to trace him and finally discovered him in Brunei, [[Dato Godam]] was ordered to return to his homeland. When the envoys received an audience with Sultan Nassaruddin at [[Lapau]] explaining that [[Dato Godam]] had to return in order to succeed his father, the Sultan was reluctant. Finally, the Sultan agreed to permit [[Dato Godam]] and his eldest son [[Manteri Uban]] (Abdul Rahman) to return. Nevertheless, [[Dato Godam]]'s second son, [[Manteri Puteh]] (Dato Said) stayed. 

When [[Dato Godam]] was about to depart, Sultan Nassaruddin promised him that he and the next rulers of Brunei would give rewards and privileges to the descendants of [[Dato Godam]].<ref> {{Cite book|author=Umar, Jamil|year=2008 |title=Dato Godam |edition=fourth |location=Bandar Seri Begawan |publisher=Pusat Sejarah Brunei |page=8 |isbn=99917-34-37-6}}</ref> It was from here that some of the descendants of [[Dato Godam]] were given the 'Manteri' title by the next [[Sultan of Bruneisuccessors of the [[Sultan of Brunei]]. Some of his descendants continued to serve the administration of the [[Brunei|sultanate]].
