Gambar berkaitan Tokku Paloh (Pictures to do with Tokku Paloh)

Masyarakat Malaysia yang celik sejarah perkembangan Islam di Kepulauan Melayu serta cerita para wali yang terlibat mesti pernah mendengar nama Tokku Paloh. Beliau atau nama sebenarnya Sayyid Abdul Rahman Al-Idrus adalah ulamak terkenal yang menjadi guru kepada Sultan Zainal Abidin III, pemerintah Terengganu penghujung abad ke 19. Tokku Paloh juga dikenali sebagai wali Allah penuh karamah yang sangat ditakuti penjajah.
Malaysian community who is aware of the history of the propagation of Islam in the Malay Archipelago and the stories of the saints involved surely must have heard the name Tokku Paloh. The man whose real name is Sayyid Abdul Rahman Al-Idrus is a famous religious scholar and teacher to Sultan Zainal Abdin III, the ruler of Terengganu late 19th century. Tokku Paloh is also known as a saint of Allah full of miracles and was much feared by the colonialist.
Ada diceritakan bahawa apabila Inggeris cuba berunding meminta tanah kepada Sultan Zainal Abidin, baginda menyuruh mereka berjumpa Tokku Paloh kerana katanya Terengganu ini ada tuannya... Maksudnya Tokku Paloh lah yang lebih berhak membuat keputusan. Pegawai Inggeris telah pergi ke rumah wali Allah itu untuk berunding. Tokku Paloh bertegas tidak mahu memberi walau seinci pun tanah. Inggeris yang berang bangun untuk menunjukkan kemarahan tetapi kerusi pula melekat dipunggung mereka. Lalu Tokku Paloh memerli mereka: "Sudahlah tanah kita mahu diambil, kerusi kita pun mahu dibawa lari..."
It is told that when the English tried to negotiate asking for land from Sultan Zainal Abidin, he asked them to see Tokku Paloh because he said Terengganu has its owner... Meaning Tokku Paloh has more right to decide the matter. The English officers when to the saint of Allah's house to negotiate. Tokku Paloh insist he won't give even an inch of land. The English went mad and rose up to show their displeasure but the chairs were stuck to their bottoms. So Tokku Paloh commented: "Not only do they want to take our land, they also want to take away our chairs..."
Dalam peristiwa lain pula, Inggeris mengajak Tokku Paloh berunding di atas kapal perang. Tujuan mereka adalah untuk mengugut secara halus dengan mempamirkan kekuatan angkatan laut mereka dengan meriam berkuasa tinggi yang mampu membedil pantai Terengganu, satu taktik yang dikenali sebagai "gunboat diplomacy". Tokku Paloh cuma menyengetkan serbannya lalu seluruh armada kapal laut Inggeris turut senget sama! Pada masa yang lain pula, mereka cuba menghampiri perairan Terengganu tetapi melihat ia dijaga pahlawan-pahlawan Melayu siap bersenjata sejauh mata memandang. Ini menyebabkan mereka takut menjajah Terengganu selagi Tokku Paloh masih hidup.
Di sini, saya sajikan sedikit gambar berkaitan Tokku Paloh, diambil ketika perkelanaan di Pantai Timur baru-baru ini. Silakan...
In another scene, the English invited Tokku Paloh to negotiate on a warship. Their intention was to scare him discreetly by showing off their naval might with high-powered cannons capable of bombarding Terengganu shores, a tactic known as "gunboat diplomacy". Tokku Paloh only had to shift his headgear to one side and the whole English armada shifted on their sides too! At other times, they tried to approach the coast of Terengganu only to see it guarded by Malay warriors as far as the eyes can see, This made them scared to colonialise Terengganu as long as Tokku Paloh is still alive.
Here, I want to show some pictures related to Tokku Paloh, taken while travelling the East Coast recently. Go on...
