He is also a Muslim or a person who is strong in worship and become a scholar. (cleric, theologian). According to the story, if he wants to pray he always does it in Mecca and if he wants to do salat al-jum'ah he will return to takengon.

Some people said in his story that unok is had a very large and tall body that makes him can pass through the mountain and the sea. And one day he has received revelation (vision from god) from Allah the god of the universe and warned that he will bring down a disaster to the earth in the form of a flood so that unok is commanded by Allah to make a big ship.

Before Lut Tawar lake is large as today, from the story it just a water spring and becomes a small pond that is always visited by the angel from the sky to take bath and sunbathe. At the edge of the pond, there was a big tree that always to stop over by every kind of bird near the pond. Although there were other big trees around them, the birds are always stopover on the tree near the pond.

After unok or Aulia received the revelation he starts to think about how to make a big ship and every people can get it and after he is thinking of it he comes to the small pond and then he pulls out the big tree that usually used for the birds stop. After that, the ship will be placed somewhere that is near to the village so that the people can easily get into it if suddenly the flood is coming.

In short, he pulls out the tree until its roots leave a big mark and he drags it to the coast of Aceh.

Based on the story of the same place the mark from the tree that he pulls out becomes the lake Danau lut tawar and it slowly becomes deep until filled up with water. After he pulls out the tree, and then dragged it to the coast of Aceh, some people said that traces of the tree that he drags it become a river called Pesangan. And it flew to the coast of Aceh.
