Masjid (Mosque of) Nabawi

Assalamualaikum. Tiga hari lalu saya telah membuat artikel bertajuk Masjid kecil antara Jeddah dan Madinah (Small mosque between Jeddah and Medina). Kiranya artikel ini bersambung penceritaan darinya...
Peace be up you all. Three days ago I have made an article called Masjid kecil antara Jeddah dan Madinah (Small mosque between Jeddah and Medina). This article could be counted as the continuation of storytelling from it.


Saya sampai ke bandar raya Madinah selepas 9 pagi Rabu 3 April. Selepas berehat sebentar di hotel saya pun berjalan kaki ke Masjid Nabawi, masjid Nabi Muhammad SAW.
I arrived at the city of Madinah after 9am Wednesday 3rd April. After resting for a while at the hotel I then walked to Masjid  (mosque of) Nabawi, the mosque of Prophet Muhammad SAW.


Masjid Nabawi adalah sangat besar. Semakan menggunakan gambar satelit dari Google Earth menunjukkan bangunannya sahaja meliputi kawasan selebar 400 meter dan sepanjang 300 meter. Bangunan terletak di dalam halaman selebar 660 meter dan sepanjang 530 meter. Nampak tak tiang-tiang dengan struktur berbentung payung sekeliling bangunan? Saya diberitahu ia dibina tahun 2010 untuk memberi perlindungan  kepada jemaah di luar dari cuaca.
Masjid Nabawi is very big. A check using satellite pictures from Google Earth showed the building alone covers an area 400 metres wide and 300 metres across. The building is located inside a compound 660 metres wide and 530 metres across. See the pillars with structures forming umbrellas around the building? I was told it was built in the year 2010 to give protection to outside congregation from the weather.


Masjid ini menghadap ke selatan di mana bangunan Ka'abah di Mekah terletak sekitar 400 km perjalanan. Saya masuk ke halaman dari pintu barat-laut lalu berjalan menghala ke selatan melepasi sisi kanan bangunan.
This mosque faces the south where the building of Ka'abah (Muslims' point of concentration during prayers) in Mecca is located around 400 km journey. I entered the compound through the north-west door walking towards the south passing the right-side of the building. 


Sampai ke satu sudut saya membelok ke timur.
Coming to a corner I turned to the east.


Masjid Nabawi memiliki banyak pintu masuk. Namun dikatakan pintu paling berkat adalah yang dipanggil pintu Babussalam.
Masjid Nabawi has many doors for entrance. Still the door said to be most blessed is the one which is called  the door of Babussalam.




Dari sini kita boleh berjalan 100 meter terus lalu keluar di pintu berseberangan, pintu di sebelah timur...
From here we could walk 100 metres straight to get out from the opposite door, a door on the eastern side...


Sambil berjalan saya memandang ke kiri.
While walking I looked to the left.


Tidak lama kemudian saya dapat melihat struktur yang dipanggil Mihrab Nabi, mihrab asal semasa Nabi Muhammad SAW masih hidup lebih 1,400 tahun lalu.
Not long after I could see the structure called the mihrab of the prophet. the original mihrab (front-most section inside a mosque) when Prophet Muhammad SAW was still alive more than 1,400 years ago.


Inilah mihrabnya. Ia terletak di dalam kawasan yang dipanggil Raudhah, katanya sebuah taman dari syurga.
This is it the mihrab. It is situated inside an area called the Raudhah, said to be a garden from paradise.


Sekitar 8 meter ke kanannya terdapat Mimbar Nabi. Perhatikan tengah gambar. Raudhah adalah kawasan antara Mimbar Nabi hingga ke Makam Nabi yang terletak sekitar 20-30 meter ke timur.
Around 8 metres to its right is the Mimbar Nabi (pulpit of the Prophet). Pay attention to the middle of the picture.Raudhah is the area between the Mimbar Nabi and the Makam Nabi (tomb of the Prophet) around 20-30 metres to the east.


 
Satu pandangan ke belakang.
A look to the rear.


Di belah belakang itu saya berdiri sebentar mengambil perspektif melihat pandangan ke hadapan.
At that rear side I stood for a while taking perspective looking at the view to the front.


Pandangan ke atas.
A look above.


Selepas itu saya harus bergerak ke kanan lagi sebelum dapat memasuki kembali kawasan hadapan masjid menghala ke timur. Kelihatan Mimbar Nabi di sebelah kiri...
After that I have to walk furthermore to the right before I could enter again the mosque' front area heading to the east. Could be seen the Mimbar Nabi to the left...




Kemudian kelihatan mihrab baru, mihrab setelah masjid dibesarkan menjadi seperti saiz sekarang. Lihat ke kanan.
Then could be seen the new mihrab (front-most section), the mihrab after the mosque has been enlarged to its present size. Look to the right.


Ke kiri kelihatan sebahagian dari Raudhah.
To the left could be seen part of the Raudhah.


Tetapi kita tidak boleh masuk ke Raudhah dari pintu-pintu hadapan kerana ia untuk orang keluar sahaja. Terlalu ramai orang ingin mengambil berkat berada di Raudhah dan mereka perlu berebut-rebut masuk dari belakang. Awal tadi saya sebenarnya bernasib baik kerana dapat menyelinap masuk terus ke sebelah Mihrab Nabi.
But we could not enter the Raudhah from the front doors as it is only for people going out. There are too many people who wants to take the blessing of being inside Raudhah and they have to struggle to get inside from the rear. Earlier before I was lucky for being able to sneak in straight to the side of the Mihrab Nabi.


Saya pun berjalan terus mengikut aliran orang ramai ke pintu timur.
I then walked straight following the flow of the crowd to the eastern door.


Kelihatanlah tiga panel tertutup di kiri...
Could be seen three closed panel to the left...


Di sebalik panel-panel ini terdapat makam Nabi Muhammad SAW diikuti makam sahabat baginda Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq (khalifah Islam pertama) dan makam Saidina Umar al-Faruq (khalifah kedua).
Behind these panels lie the tomb of Prophet Muhammad SAW followed by the tomb of his companions Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq (the first khalifah, deputy of the prophet and leader of Muslims worldwide) and tomb of Saidina Umar al-Faruq (the second khalifah).






Keluar dari pintu timur yang dipanggil pintu Baqi'.
Coming out from the eastern door which is called the door of Baqi'.


Saya ke hadapan masjid sebentar.
I went to the front of the mosque for a while.


Di bawah kubah hijau inilah terletak Makam Nabi.
It is under the green dome where lies the tomb of the Prophet.


Pandangan siri kiri Masjid Nabawi sambil saya berjalan kaki ke utara meninggalkan masjid. Cukup.
A left-side view of the Masjid (mosque of) Nabawi as I walked to the north leaving the mosque. Enough.
