Raji Haji telah memenangi entah berapa banyak peperangan di Alam Melayu. Dalam konflik dengan Belanda, baginda berjaya mengalahkan banyak ketumbukan musuh dan hampir sahaja memerdekakan Kota Melaka dari penjajahan Barat jika tidak kerana pembelotan yang mengganggu rancangan.

Raja Haji has won God knows how many battles in the Malay world. In a conflict with the Dutch, his majesty was succesful in beating many of the enemies' formation and almost freed the fort of Melaka from Western colonisation if not for desertion which swayed the plan.

Baginda akhirnya mangkat 1784 di Telok Ketapang, Melaka selepas terkena sebaris tembakan senapang Belanda. Lalu dikenali sebagai Raja Haji Fi Sabilillah kerana meninggal dunia di jalan Allah, juga dipanggil sebagai Marhum Teluk Ketapang kerana gugur di situ.

His majesty finally passed away 1784 in Teluk Ketapang, Melaka after having been shot down by a row of Dutch rifle fire. Thus he became known as Raja Haji Fi Sabilillah for having died in the way of Allah, also called Marhum (the deceased of) Teluk Ketapang for having fell down there.

Welcome to the main mosque of Sultan Riau.

Difahamkan masjid ini mula dibina tahun 1760an sebelum dibesarkan menjadi bangunan sekarang 1832.

It is understood the mosque was first built in the years 1760s before it was enlarged to become the present building 1832.

Bangunan dikuatkan dengan campuran semen dan putih telur.

The building was strengthened by a mixture of cement and egg white.

Ini dilakukan pada zaman Raja Abdurrahman menjadi Yang dipertuan Muda Riau (1832-1844), satu gelaran turun temurun yang diberi kepada orang kedua paling berkuasa dalam Empayar Johor-Riau-Lingga. Pada zaman baginda empayar ini telah dipecah dua oleh Belanda dan Inggeris melalui perjanjian 1824. Atas penghormatan kepada pemerintah empayar bahagian Belanda yang juga dikenali sebagai Sultan Riau masjid inipun dipanggil Masjid Raya Sultan Riau.

This was made to happen during the time Raja Abdurrahman became the Yang dipertuan Muda Riau (1832-1844), a hereditary title given to the second most powerful person the Johor-Riau-Lingga empire. In his majesty's time the empire has been broken into two by the Dutch and English through the treaty of 1824. Due to respect for the ruler of the portion of empire under the Dutch who is also known as the Sultan (ruler of) Riau this mosque is called Masjid Raya (main mosque of) Sultan Riau.

Satisfied after seeing the split up cannon we then approached Istana (palace of) Maimon.

Ia adalah istana keSultanan Deli yang menjadi kebanggaan warga Medan.

It is the palace of the Deli Sultanate (kingdom) which is a pride of the people of Medan.

Istana ini dibangunkan tahun 1888. Ketika itu Deli sudah menjadi jajahan takluk Belanda.

The palace was built in the year 1888. At the time Deli was already a colonial territory of the Dutch.

Selepas jajahan takluk Belanda merdeka untuk membentuk negara Indonesia 1945, keSultanan Deli terserap ke dalamnya. Taraf Sultan kemudian diturunkan menjadi lambang adat sahaja. Selepas beberapa lama istana pula dijadikan muzium.

After the colonies of the Dutch became independent to form the nation of Indonesia 1945, the Sultanate of Deli was absorbed inside it. The status of the Sultan (ruler) was then demoted to become just a cultural symbol. After a time the palace in turn was turned into a museum.

Sekarang sesiapa sahaja boleh masuk untuk melihat isinya. Cukup kata-kata saya ya... :]

Now anyone can go in to see what's inside. Enough of my words ya... :]

Almost 11 o'clock in morning then only I brought the child and wife to Masjid Raya (main mosque of) Al-Mashun, the old mosque which is very famous in Medan in fact the whole of Sumatera.

Ketika ini perkarangan masjid sudah lengang, tidak seperti awal pagi di mana jemaah terlalu ramai hingga melimpah ke tepi jalan untuk bersolat Aidil Adha.

At this moment the compound of the mosque is already empty, unlike early morning when the congregation was too many till it spilled to the roads for the Aidil Adha (Muslim festive day) prayers.

Makam-makam bangsawan Aceh di Medan (Tombs of Aceh nobilities in Medan)

2011-12-09T16:15:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum semua. Kita sambung penceritaan tempat-tempat yang dilawati dalam perjalanan Medan ke Banda Aceh yang dibuat 2-13 November 2011. Mari... :]

Peace be upon you all. We continue the storytelling on places visited on the Medan to Banda Aceh journey which was made 2-13 November 2011. Come... :]

Ahad 6 November 2011 bersamaan 10 Zulhijjah 1432 Hijrah iaitu Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Ketika berehat di hadapan luar Masjid Raya Al-Mashun di Medan saya terlihat tanah perkuburan di sebelah.

Sunday 6th November 2011 corresponding to 10 Zulhijjah 1432 Hijriah (the Muslim calendar) which is the festive day of Aidil Adha. While taking a rest in front outside the Masjid Raya (main mosque of) Al-Mashun in Medan I saw the burial ground besides.

Saya mendapat gerak untuk melihat lebih dekat.

I was moved to have a closer look.

Lalu terperanjat melihat nama-nama dan tempat yang tertera. Misalnya awalan nama Chut dan tempat Samalanga.

Then was surprised on the names and places inscribed. For example the initial name Chut and place Samalanga.

Nama awalan Teuku. Ia adalah gelaran untuk bangsawan lelaki Aceh, Chut untuk perempuan.

Initial name Teuku. It is a title for the male nobilities of Aceh, Chut for the female.

Tgk. yang merupakan singkatan untuk Tengku, mungkin juga Teungku. Di kebanyakan tempat termasuk Medan, Tengku adalah gelaran kerabat diraja sedangkan di Aceh Teungku merujuk kepada para ulamak. Namun ada tertulis Keumala yang terkait dengan satu cabang kerabat diraja Aceh.

Tgk. which is a short form for Tengku, maybe even Teungku. In most places including Medan, Tengku is a title for royalty while in Aceh Teungku refers to religious masters. But still there's Keumala written which is related to a branch of the Aceh royal family.

Di sini ada Teuku juga Cut (satu lagi ejaan untuk Chut).

Here there's Teuku and also Cut (one more spelling for Chut).

Di sini pula singkatan T. mungkin merujuk kepada Teuku, mungkin juga Tengku kalau tak Teungku. Namun kedudukannya terletak di dalam kelompok makam-makam yang kelihatan berkait dengan Aceh.

Here in turn the short form T. might refer to Teuku, maybe also Tengku if not Teungku. Still its location are within the cluster of tombs which looks like it is related to Aceh.

Masjid diraja (Royal mosque of) Tuanku Munawir

2011-12-07T22:30:00.002+08:00

Seterusnya kami pergi ke bandar diraja Seri Menanti di mana terdapat Masjid diraja Tuanku Munawir.

Next we went to the royal town of Seri Menanti where lies the royal mosque of Tuanku Munawir.

Ia mengambil nama Tuanku Munawir yang memerintah Negeri Sembilan 1960-1967, ayahanda kepada Yam Tuan sekarang.

Next we visited the main tomb at Pulau Besar, the tomb of a person known as Sultan Al-Ariffin, also pronounced as Sultanul Ariffin.

Sultanul Ariffin sebenarnya adalah gelaran untuk seorang wali Allah yang lebih dikenali dengan nama Sheikh Ismail (saya suka ejaan Sheikh berbanding Syeikh).

Sultanul Ariffin is actually a title for a saint of Allah who was better known by the name Sheikh Ismail (I like the spelling Sheikh compared to Syeikh).

For information this is the 786th article in this blogspot, a number said to symbolise the formula Basmallah (Bismillah... in the Muslim holy book, the Al-Quran).
