'''Muhammad Tajuddin''' was the 19th [[Sultan of Brunei]].<ref name="Sejarah Sultan-Sultan Brunei">{{cite web|url=http://www.hmjubliemas.gov.bn/Documents/pdf/Buku%20Sejarah%20Sultan-Sultan%20Brunei.pdf|format=PDF|title=Sejarah Sultan-Sultan Brunei|website=Hmjubliemas.gov.bn|accessdate=3 February 2018|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180131140936/http://www.hmjubliemas.gov.bn/Documents/pdf/Buku%20Sejarah%20Sultan-Sultan%20Brunei.pdf|archivedate=31 January 2018|df=}}</ref> He succeeded his father [[Omar Ali Saifuddin I]] in 1778 and ruled until 1804 when he voluntarily abdicated in favour of his eldest son, [[Muhammad Jamalul Alam I]] in April 1804. Nevertheless, his son [[Muhammad Jamalul Alam I]] only ruled less than a year as he died in November 1804. As a consequence, Muhammad Tajuddin ascended to the throne for the second time. He ruled until his death in 1807.

==Background==
Muhammad Tajuddin was the eldest son of [[Omar Ali Saifuddin I]] by his second wife, [[Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Nuralam]].
