Makam (Tomb of) Tok Pelam

Oleh kerana saya belum pernah membuat apa-apa artikel tentang makam Tok Pelam di sini, biarlah gambar-gambar terbaru lawatan ke situ dijadikan artikel ke 300 di blogspot ini! Mari... :]
Since I have never made any article about the tomb of Tok Pelam here, let me put pictures from the latest visit there to be made into the 300th article in this blogspot! Come... :]

Ini adalah bangunan makam Tok Pelam di Kuala Terengganu...

This is the tomb of Tok Pelam in Kuala Terengganu...

Beliau adalah seorang ulamak yang berasal dari Hadramaut di Semenanjung Arab, berhijrah ke Pattani sebelum datang ke Terengganu tahun 1785 Masihi...

He is a religious master who originated from Hadramaut in the Arab peninsular, then moved to Pattani before coming to Terengganu in the year 1785 AD...

Lihat pintu makam yang terkunci. Bangunan yang dibina menandakan beliau bukan calang-calang orang!

Look at the locked tomb door. The building erected here bears a mark that he is no Tom, Dick or Harry!

Di perkarangan dalam lingkungan bangunan makam, terdapat sejumlah makam lain rasanya milik pengikut dan ahli keluarga...

In the yard within the bounds of the tomb building, there lies a number of other tombs, I think belonging to followers and family members...

Satu lagi keistimewaan bangunan ini ialah kewujudan sebuah bilik suluk di atas. Ini menunjukkan Tok Pelam juga adalah seorang guru tariqat, kemungkinan besar bertaraf wali! Lihat juga artikel Makam Tok Pelam di Kuala Terengganu... yang dibuat di blogspot Melayu CATATAN SI MERAH SILU tahun lepas.

Another special thing about this building is the existence of a solitary room for meditation above. This shows that Tok Pelam was also a tariqat (Islamic spiritual path) master, most probably of saintly status! Look also at the article Makam Tok Pelam di Kuala Terengganu... made in the Malay blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU last year.

Kota Lama (Old fort of) Duyong

Di Pulau Duyong yang terletak dalam kawasan kuala Sungai Terengganu terdapat sebuah kota lama Melayu...

At the island of Duyong which is located within the area inside the estuary of the Terengganu river lies an old Malay fort...

Apabila masuk ke Pulau Duyong untuk mencari kota ini, seseorang akan terjumpa papantanda tadi yang sebenarnya membawa ke bahagian belakang kota...

When entering the Duyong island to look for this fort, one would came across the previous-seen signboarn which actually brings one to the rear section of the fort...

Anda perlu berjalan kaki lebih kurang 100 meter lagi untuk pergi ke bahagian hadapan...

You would have to walk for about another 100 metres to get to the front section...

Di situ baru terdapat sedikit maklumat tentang kota...

There only one could find some information on the fort...

Semasa saya sampai kota ini sedang ditutup. Cukuplah ini sebagai artikel ke 299 di blogspot ini ya...

When I reached the fort it was closed. This should be enough for the 299th article in this blogspot ya...

Masjid (Mosque of) Al-Khalidiah, Rasa

Bersambung dari Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Ar-Rahman, Hulu Bernam... .
Continued from Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Ar-Rahman, Hulu Bernam... .

Pada malam harinya pula, dalam perjalanan kembali ke rumah saya singgah ke Masjid Al-Khalidiah di Rasa.

At night in turn, on the way back to my house I made a stop at the mosque of Al-Khalidiah in Rasa.

Saya telah diberitahu bahawa masjid ini menjadi tumpuan pengamal tariqat Naqshabandiah!

I have been told that this mosque is frequented by practioners of the tariqat (Islamic spiritual way) of Naqshabandiah!

Saya pun masuk ke dalam...
I then went inside...

Nampaknya masjid ini boleh tahan luas...

Looks like this mosque is rather spacious...

Satu pandangan bahagian dalam kubah...

A look at the inside section of the dome...

Saya sampai ketika masuk waktu Maghrib... kebetulan belum lagi bersolat. Maka saya pun menunaikan rukun Islam itu. Sekian... :]

I arrived as the period of Maghrib (early night prayers) entered... it happened that I haven't done the prayers yet. So I did this tenet of Islam. That's all... :]

Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Ar-Rahman, Hulu Bernam...

Dalam perjalanan ke Tanjung Malim, Perak siang tadi saya telah melalui kawasan Hulu Bernam, Selangor lalu terlihat masjid ini...

On the way to Tanjung Malim, Perak during the day I passed through the area of Hulu Bernam, Selangor and saw this mosque...

Kali terakhir saya lalu di sini mungkin lebih setahun lalu. Seingat saya masjid ini belum wujud lagi...

The last time I passed here was maybe more than a year ago. As far as I could remember this mosque hasn't existed yet...

Rekabentuk luaran dengan batu-bata menyerupai binaan pada istana batu dan kota-kota lama membuat saya ingin melihat suasana di dalam...

Its outer design with bricks and walls replicating that as built on old stone palaces and castles made me want to enter and look at what is inside...

Ketika itu orang sedang bersolat Asar berjemaah...
At the time people were congregating for the Asar prayers...

Saya telah terlebih dahulu bersolat jamak di tempat lain kerana ingin berjalan jauh lalu cuma menikmati rekabentuk yang ada...

I have earlier done the jamak prayers elsewhere (combining the obligatory prayers as allowed under certain conditions) as I was embarking on a trip of considerable distance and thus just enjoyed the available designs...

Menara masjid. Hampir-hampir ada ciri menara istana lama di Eropah!

The mosque's tower. It almost has the qualities of towers of old palaces in Europe!

Oh. Nama masjid ini ialah Masjid Jamek Ar-Rahman. Teringat pula Masjid Raya Baitur-Rahman di Aceh. Sila lihat artikel lama Masjid Raya (Main mosque of) Baiturrahman, Aceh ...

Oh. The name of the mosque is Masjid Jamek (Main mosque of) Ar-Rahman. Reminds me of Masjid Raya (Main mosque of) Baitur-Rahman in Aceh. Do look at the old article Masjid Raya (Main mosque of) Baiturrahman, Aceh...

Kota (Fort of) Kuala Linggi

Bersambung dari artikel Masjid (Mosque of) Al-Muttaqin, Kuala Linggi...
Continued from the article Masjid (Mosque of) Al-Muttaqin, Kuala Linggi...

Berdekatan kuala Sungai Linggi terdapat sebuah bukit, Bukit Supai dengan satu binaan lama...

Close to the mouth of the river Linggi lies a hill, Bukit Supai with an olden construction available...

Pergi lebih dekat dan kelihatanlah bekas sebuah kota lama...
Look closer and one could see the remains of an old fort...



Mari naik ke atas...
Let us go up...

Kelihatan jalan masuk utama ke kota...

One could see the main entrance to the fort...

Sedikit maklumat tentang kota berumur sekitar 250 tahun ini. Sila buka dalam windows baru untuk melihat lebih dekat.

Some information on this 250-year-old or so fort. Please open it in another windows to have a more detailed look.

Kawasan mendatar puncak bukit yang dilingkungi tembok kota...

The plains on top the hill which is contained by the fort walls...

Boleh kelihatan kuala Sungai Linggi dari sisi utara...

One could see the mouth of the Linggi river from the northern side...

Bahagian barat kota membawa ke pintu masuk utama tadi...

The western part of the fort bring us back to the main entrance...

Dinding kota barat menghadap ke Selat Melaka...

The western wall of the fort faces the Straits of Melaka...

Mari kita turun...

Let us go down...

Oh. Bangunan terbengkalai di bawah adalah sebahagian dari kompleks pelancongan yang dicadangkan untuk menaikkan kota yang turut dikenali sebagai Fort Supai, kota Bukit Supai tetapi nampaknya tidak menjadi. Sekian.

Oh. The abandoned building below is part of the tourism complex suggested to popularise this fort also known as Fort Supai because of the name of the hill but it seems the project did not proceed all that well. That's all.


p/s: Satu cerita bergambar tentang kota ini juga sekitar Kuala Linggi telah dibuat dalam blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH lebih setahun lalu. Sila lihat artikel Interlude: A visit to Kuala Linggi... .

A pictorial story about this fort and the surrounding Kuala Linggi has been made in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH more than a year ago. Please look at the article Interlude: A visit to Kuala Linggi... .

Masjid (Mosque of) Al-Muttaqin, Kuala Linggi...

Dalam satu perjalanan ke Kota Kuala Linggi berhampiran sempadan Melaka-Negeri Sembilan, saya singgah ke masjid ini, Masjid Al-Muttaqin...

In a journey to the fort of Kuala Linggi nearby the border of Melaka-Negeri Sembilan, I made a stop at this mosque, the mosque of Al-Muttaqin...

Sebenarnya saya singgah sebentar untuk mengambil wudhuk...
Actually I stopped for a little while to make abolution...

Alang-alang dah masuk ke dalam, saya pun mula mengambil gambar...

Since I am already inside, I might as well take pictures...

Sekurang-kurangnya boleh juga dikongsi bersama para pembaca!

At least it could be shared with all dear readers!

Inilah ruang solat utamanya. Sekian...

This is its main praying hall. That's all...

Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I

OK. Kali ini saya ingin memaparkan sebuah masjid yang tak kurang istimewa, Masjid Jamek Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I...

OK. This time I want to feature a mosque which is no less special, the main mosque of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I...

Apa yang istimewa tentang masjid ini? Lihat bangunan berwarna kuning dalam gambar...
What is special about this mosque? Look at the yellow building in the picture...

Untuk makluman, di sini terdapat satu-satunya makam Sultan Melaka yang masih wujud di Malaysia, Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah yang memerintah 1477-1488 Masihi. Nama baginda dicatat sebagai Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I kerana memiliki cucu bernama serupa, dikenali sebagai Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II yang menjadi pemerintah empayar Johor-Riau-Lingga...

For information, herein lies the one and only existing tomb of a Sultan of Melaka in Malaysia, Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah who ruled 1477-1488 AD. His name is written as Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I because he had a grandchildren with the same name, known as Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II who became ruler of the Johor-Riau-Lingga empire...

Walaupun masjid di sebelah makam adalah sebuah masjid moden yang dibina tahun 1960an kalau tak salah ingatan, ia juga cukup istimewa.

Although the mosque besides the tomb is a modern mosque built in the 1960s if I'm not mistaken, it is also special enough.

Apa yang istimewa? Mari masuk ke dalam...
What is special about it?Let us go inside...

Kelihatan ia serupa dengan mana-mana masjid moden biasa. Tetapi tahukah anda masjid ini dibina atas tapak istana Sultan Alauddin?

It looks similar to any common modern mosque. But do you know that the mosque was built on top the site of Sultan Alauddin's palace?

Al-Fatihah untuk almarhum Sultan Alauddin. Sekian...

Recital of the Quranic verses of Al-Fatihah for Sultan Alauddin. That's all...

p/s: Nasib baik saya telah mengambil gambar-gambar ini dalam satu lawatan bulan Ogos. Walaupun saya telah banyak kali pergi ke sini, rupa-rupanya saya tidak pernah membuat apa-apa cerita khusus tentang masjid dan makam ini di blogspot ini. Yang ada cuma sedikit penerangan yang ada dalam artikel Gambar-gambar di Muar (pictures in Muar) yang dibuat Januari 2007 .

Luckily I took these pictures in a visit in August. Although I've been here many times, as it turned out I have never made any dedicated story about this mosque and tomb in this blogspot. What was available is just a bit of explanation available in the article Gambar-gambar di Muar (pictures in Muar) made January 2007 .

Masjid (Mosque of) Kampung Hulu malam hari (at night)!

Walaupun Masjid Kampung Hulu, Melaka merupakan satu di antara 3 gitu masjid tertua yang masih wujud di Malaysia, saya tidak pernah meletakkan satu pun artikel untuk masjid itu dalam blogspot ini. Paling dekat saya sekadar membiarkannya 'berkongsi' dengan tempat-tempat lain seperti yang terpapar dalam artikel Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu yang dibuat lebih 2 tahun lalu. Maka saya rasa elok dipaparkan sejumlah gambar Masjid Kampung Hulu yang diambil waktu malam pertama Ramadhan baru-baru ini untuk membentuk artikel baru tersendiri ini ya.
Although the mosque of Kampung Hulu, Melaka is one among 3 or so oldest mosques which still exist in Malaysia, I have never put one single article for the mosque in this blogspot. The closest to one is when I made it 'share' with other places as featured in the article Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu made more than 2 years ago. So I feel it is good to feature a number of pictures of the mosque of Kampung Hulu which were taken on the first night of Ramadhan quite recently to create an article which stands on its own ya.
Saya rasa penerangan tentang masjid tidak perlu dipanjangkan. Cukuplah apa yang terdapat pada artikel Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu. Selain itu biar gambar-gambar ini sendiri bercerita. Nikmatilah ia...
I feel that there is no need to extend explanations about the mosque. What is available in the article Perigi (well of) Hang Tuah, Masjid (mosque of) Duyung serta (and) Kampung Hulu should be enough. Apart from that the pictures itself are able to tell a story. Enjoy it...

Saya juga ada merakamkan video suasana Subuh pagi 1 Ramadhan di masjid itu. Sila lihat artikel A night walkabout in Melaka... di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Selamat malam! :]

I've also recorded a video of the scene around Subuh or early morning prayers on the said 1st Ramadhan at the mosque. Please look at the article A night walkabout in Melaka... in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Good night! :]

Makam menonjol di (An oustanding tomb at) Pokok Mangga, Melaka...

Dalam satu perjalanan menyusuri tepian pantai dari Tanjung Keling, Melaka ke selatan saya terlihat bangunan makam yang agak menyerlah di tepi jalan besar...

In a trip following the coastline from Tanjung Keling, Melaka to the south I saw a tomb building which is rather outstanding besides the main road...

Bukan saya tidak pernah mengambil laluan ini malah banyak kali. Tetapi baru kali ini ia kelihatan begitu menarik, kebetulan malam itu sudah masuk 1 Ramadhan!

It's not as if I've never took this route before, in fact I've done it many times. But it is only this time it looked so interesting, it happened that the night have entered the 1st day of Ramadhan, the holy Muslim fasting month!

Saya pun pergi untuk melihat lebih dekat...
I then went to have a closer look...

Pelik sungguh... ia adalah makam orang Islam tetapi dibina oleh orang Cina bukan Islam!

This is so strange... it is the tomb of a Muslim but yet built by non-Muslim Chineses!

Ada tersebut bahawa ini adalah makam Datuk Haji Dalif... atau Haji Zalif? Saya pun tak pasti huruf Jawi untuk permulaan nama itu apakah huruf Dal ataupun Za.

There is mention that this is the tomb of Datuk Haji Dalif... or is it Haji Zalif? I myself am not sure whether the Jawi letter for the start of the name is the letter Dal or Za.

Di dalam bangunan ini terdapat sejumlah makam, rasanya milik ahli keluarga. Yang menjadi persoalan, siapakah mereka ini sehingga semua batu nesan disaluti kain berwarna kuning yang biasanya menandakan pemiliknya berdarah raja atau dianggap keramat? Sehingga bangunannya dibina pula oleh orang Cina? Sekadar nota, ini adalah artikel ke 292 di sini...

Inside this building there are a number of tombs, I feel it's that of family members. What becomes the question is, who were these people that all the tombstones are wrapped with yellow clothings which normally signifies the owner as being of royal blood or is considered a miraculous person? Such that its building was built by the Chinese? Just a note, this is the 292nd article here...

Masjid Al-Mardhiyah (Al-Mardhiyah mosque), Taman Melawati

Di kawasan perumahan Taman Melawati, pinggir bandaraya Kuala Lumpur terdapat masjid bernama Masjid Al-Mardhiyah ini...

At the housing estate of Taman Melawati, fringe of the Kuala Lumpur city there lies this mosque named Masjid Al-Mardhiyah...

Dibina berlatar-belakangkan satu barisan bukit batu kapur yang kelihatan indah, warna biru masjid membuatkan ia lebih menonjol...

Built with a background of a range of limestone hills which looks lovely, the blue colour of the mosque makes it stand out more...

Menara azan masjid...
The mosque's call to prayer tower...

Mari masuk ke dalam...

Let us go inside...

Dewan solatnya agak luas...

Its praying hall is rather vast...

Bahagian dalam kubah...

The inside area of the dome...

Mihrab...

The front-most section...

Hiasan dinding...

The wall ornaments...

Masjid jamek (main mosque of) Sungai Buloh, Selangor

Assalamualaikum. Setelah lebih sebulan tidak bercerita di sini, biar dibuat artikel-artikel baru. Mari! :]

Peace be upon you all. After more than a month not telling any stories here, let new articles be written. Come! :]

Masjid yang mahu dipaparkan kali ini cuma sebuah masjid kecil yang terletak di sebelah stesyen keretapi Komuter Sungai Buloh...

The mosque to be featured this time is just a small mosque situated besides the Sungai Buloh Komuter train station...

Selama ini saya menyangkakan ia cuma sebuah surau sahaja. Tetapi dalam satu lawatan bulan Ogos baru saya tersedar ia sebenarnya adalah masjid utama di sebelah sini!

All this while I always thought this was just a surau (small praying hall). But in a visit made in August did only I realised it is actually the main mosque in this parts of the world!

Ini disebabkan dahulu kawasan sekelilingnya membentuk pusat pekan Sungai Buloh...
This is because the areas around it used to form the centre of the small town of Sungai Buloh...

Sekarang, Sungai Buloh telah jauh membesar dengan bandar baru lebih moden terbentuk 3 km dari sini. Mungkin sebab itu masjid ini kelihatan seperti surau sahaja berbanding pembangunan pesat di sekeliling walhal ia masih masjid jamek untuk pekan Sungai Buloh! Sekian...

Nowadays, Sungai Buloh have grown much bigger with a new township formed 3 km from here. Maybe that is why this mosque looks only like a surau compared to the fast growth and development around it although it still remains the main mosque for the small town of Sungai Buloh! That's all...
