Makam (Tomb of) Tok Selehor)

Ada seorang lagi ulamak Kelantan bertaraf wali yang harus diketengahkan sebelum saya mempersembahkan kompilasi links tentang tempat-tempat di Kelantan.
There is one more Kelantan religious scholar of saintly status which must be featured before I present the compilation of links on places in Kelantan.

Pergi menghala ke Tumpat dari Kota Bahru dan anda boleh menemui jalan ke sebuah kompleks tradisional madrasah.

Head towards Tumpat from Kota Bahru and you could find the road to a traditional madrasah (Islamic religious school) complex.



Selain sekolah pondok, ada sebuah masjid.

Besides a wooden traditional religious school, there's also a mosque.





Di hadapan masjid ada tanah perkuburan.

In front of the mosque there is a burial ground.





Ada satu pondok di tengah-tengah...
There's hut at the centre...






Di situlah terdapat makam ulamak besar Kelantan yang dipanggil Tok Selehor.

It is there that lies the tomb of the Kelantan major religious figure known as Tok Selehor.



Seperti Tok Kenali (lihat Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kenali) beliau juga mendirikan sekolah pondok dan mengajar. Malah mereka hidup sezaman dan berkawan baik...

Just like Tok Kenali (look at Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kenali) he also built a traditional religious school and taught. In fact they lived in the same age and were good friends...




Tok Selehor turut menerima murid dari seluruh Alam Melayu. Menariknya beliau ada mendirikan sebuah pondok istimewa bersuluk di dalam kawasan kubur!

Tok Selehor also received pupils from all over the Malay World. What is interesting is he built a special hut for meditating alone inside the burial ground!



Pondoknya masih terjaga walaupun tidak dipakai seperti dahulu.

The hut is still maintained although not utilised like before.



Anda boleh masuk ke dalam ruangan bawah tanah di mana anda akan berada sama paras dengan mayat-mayat yang ditanam di sekeliling!

You can enter a space under the ground where you would be at the same level as the bodies buried around!



Semasa zaman Tok Selehor, anak murid yang sudah bersedia diberikan bacaan tertentu lalu masuk bersendirian ke dalam berbaring seperti mayat. Menurut ceritanya mereka akan mengalami keadaan sebenar disoal malaikat Munkar dan Nankir dan melihat siksaan kubur. Ada berani? :]

During the time of Tok Selehor, students who have been prepared were given certain (religious) recitals and then enter alone to lie down like a dead man. According to the stories they would experience the real condition being questioned by the angels Mungkar and Nankir (according to Islam the angels responsible for questioning the dead) and see the torture inside graves. Have the courage? :]


Makam Raja-raja Jembal (Tombs of the kings of Jembal)

OK. Sebelum dinasti sekarang mula memerintah Kelantan 250 tahun lalu ia pernah berada di bawah pemerintahan apa yang dipanggil Raja-raja Jembal. Lebih 2 tahun lalu saya telah dibawa ke satu kawasan luar Kota Bahru yang dipanggil Kedai Lalat lalu ditunjukkan arah ke makam 3 orang Raja Jembal. Biar dikongsi gambar dan cerita...
OK before the current dynasty started to rule Kelantan 250 years ago it used to be under the rule of what is called the kings of Jembal. More than 2 years ago I was brought to an area outside Kota Bahru which is called Kedai Lalat and was pointed the way to the tombs of 3 kings of Jembal. Let the pictures be shared with story...
Oh. Siang lebih awal, saya telah menziarahi makam Raja Abdullah, suami kepada watak legenda Puteri Saadong. Untuk pengetahuan, mereka berdua adalah kerabat diraja Jembal. Makam Raja Abdullah yang berada di tempat lain sudah diketengahkan dalam artikel Makam (tomb of) Raja Abdullah, Kelantan... tidak lama selepas lawatan. Sekarang mari kita lihat makam-makam di Kedai Lalat...
Oh. Earlier that day I have visited the tomb of Raja Abdullah, husband to legendary figure Puteri Saadong, a famous female Kelantan ruler. For information both of them are Jembal royalty. The tomb of Raja Abdullah which is located at another place has been highlighted in the article Makam (tomb of) Raja Abdullah, Kelantan.... not long after the visit. Now let us look at the tombs at Kedai Lalat...

Nasib baik saya ada meninggalkan catatan pada artikel Menyusuri jejak Raja-raja Jembal... di blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU, tempat gambar-gambar lama ini diambil. Disebabkan ia telah dijadikan artikel di sana, saya lupa hendak mengenengahkannya di blogspot ini lebih awal.

Luckily I have left some notes in the article Menyusuri jejak Raja-raja Jembal... in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU, the place where these old pictures were taken from. Because it has been made into an article there, I have forgotten to highlight it earlier in this blogspot.


Tak mengapa. Mungkin sekarang baru sampai masa untuk mengenengahkannya. Kita masuk ke satu kawasan pendalaman di Kedai Lalat. Catatan itu menyebut ini adalah makam Raja Loyor. Untuk pengetahuan baginda adalah bapa kepada Puteri Saadong.

It's alright. Maybe now only the time has arrived for it to be highlighted. We enter a rural area at Kedai Lalat. The notes mentioned this as the tomb of Raja Loyor. For information he is father to Puteri Saadong.


Catatan menyebut makam seterusnya adalah milik Raja Sakti. Saya tak tahu Raja Sakti yang mana kerana mengikut ceritanya ada dua orang memakai nama sama lalu dikenali sebagai Raja Sakti I dan Raja Sakti II. Tetapi kemungkinan besar ini makam siapa yang lebih tua...

The notes said the next tomb belongs to Raja Sakti. I don't know which Raja Sakti as according to the story there were two people wearing the same name and thus known as Raja Sakti I and Raja Sakti II. But there's a big possibility this is the tomb of the elder one...


Raja Sakti II adalah cucu Raja Sakti I. Raja Sakti I sering disebut sebagai pengasas dinasti Jembal kerana pernah melebarkan kekuasaannya sehingga meliputi seluruh Kelantan, Terengganu dan Patani serta negeri-negeri Melayu lain di selatan Thailand.

Raja Sakti II is the grandson of Raja Sakti I. Raja Sakti I is often said to be the founder of the Jembal dynasty because he managed to enlarge his power over the whole of Kelantan, Terengganu and Patani along with other Malay states at the south of Thailand.



Kelantan sebelum itu adalah negeri bawahan Patani. Tetapi pada zaman Raja Sakti I sekitar 350 tahun lalu Patani berjaya ditakluki lalu dimasukkan ke dalam satu konfederasi yang dipanggil Patani Besar, di bawah Raja Sakti I. Makam seterusnya terletak berdekatan sekolah ini.

Kelantan before that was a vassal of Patani. But during the time of Raja Sakti I around 350 years ago Patani was succesfully occupied and thus inserted into a federation called Patani Besar (greater Patani), under Raja Sakti I. The next tomb lies nearby this school.



Menurut catatan lama saya ini adalah makam Raja Bahar.

According to my old notes this is the tomb of Raja Bahar.


Baginda disebut sebagai anak sulung Raja Sakti I.

He is said to be the eldest son of Raja Sakti I.


Oh. Apa pula hubungan Raja Loyor dengan Raja Sakti? Satu cerita menyebut Raja Loyor adalah juga anakanda Raja Sakti. Tetapi cerita lain menyebut Raja Loyor adalah seorang kerabat diraja Jembal yang lebih tua...

Oh. What in turn is the relationship between Raja Loyor and Raja Sakti? A story mentioned Raja Loyor as also a son of Raja Sakti. But another story mentioned Raja Loyor as an elder member of the Jembal royalty...



Pembetulan: Setelah melihat bacaan lain baru saya tahu... 4 gambar terakhir bukan menunjukkan makam Raja Bahar tapi seorang kerabat diraja Jembal yang lain, dikenali sebagai Raja Udang.

Correction: After looking at other reads then only I know... the 4 last pictures do no show the tomb of Raja Bahar but that of another Jembal royalty, known as Raja Udang.

Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kenali

Untuk Kelantan pula saya masih belum membuat satu artikel tentang makam Tok Kenali, ulamak besarnya bertaraf wali yang sangat terkenal awal abad ke 20. Walaupun sudah banyak kali menziarahi makamnya setakat ini saya cuma membuat sebuah artikel berkenaan masjidnya bertajuk Masjid dan pondok (the mosque and hut of) Tok Kenali di blogspot ini, itupun sekadar memaparkan gambar-gambar tanpa menerangkan siapakah Tok Kenali. Jadi biar dimulakan artikel tentang makam ya...
For Kelantan in turn I haven't made an article about the tomb of Tok Kenali, its major religious master of saintly status who was very famous early 20th century. Although I have visited his tomb many times so far I have only made an article on his mosque titled Masjid dan pondok (the mosque and hut of) Tok Kenali at this blogspot, even then only showing pictures without explaining who is Tok Kenali. So let the article on tomb be started ya...

Rata-rata nama Tok Kenali dikenali ramai kerana dikatakan memiliki karamah seperti mampu menghadiri 3 majlis di tempat berlainan pada masa serentak dan mampu menyeberangi sungai tanpa basah tetapi sampai ke tebing lebih dahulu dari orang yang bersampan. Makam beliau terletak di satu tanah perkuburan Islam kurang 1 km dari masjidnya.

All in all the name of Tok Kenali is well-known by many as he was said to have magical powers such as able to attend 3 ceremonies at different places at the exact same time and able to cross rivers without getting wet but reached the banks earlier than someone on boat. His tomb is located less than 1 km from his mosque.


Kita tolak tepi perkara tidak logik. Tanpa karamah pun Tok Kenali tetap terkenal sebagai pelajar pintar yang mampu menangkap pelajaran dengan cepat dan tepat. Beliau telah berguru dengan ramai ulamak besar kemudian melanjutkan pelajaran di Mekah di mana beliau duduk lama...
We set aside things which are not logical. Even without magical powers Tok Kenali was still well-known as a smart student who managed to catch lessons fast and on the mark. He had studied under many major scholars and then continued taking lessons in Mecca where he stayed long...



Tertera di makam nama sebenar Tok Kenali adalah Muhammad Yusof. Makam beliau ditanda batu bulat, di sebelah makam isterinya. Muhammad Yusof kembali dari Mekah lalu mula mengajar di sekitar Kota Bahru. Pelajarannya menarik minat ramai sehingga Kelantan menjadi tumpuan penuntut agama seluruh Alam Melayu. Beliau pun dikenali sebagai Tok Kenali, sempena Kampung Kenali tempat beliau menetap.
Inscribed at the tomb the real name of Tok Kenali is Muhammad Yusof. His tomb is marked with round stones, besides the tomb of his wife. Muhammad Yusof returned from Mecca and started to teach around Kota Bahru. His lectures attracted the attention of many and Kelantan became the focus of students all over the Malay World. He then became known as Tok Kenali (literally the elder of Kenali), in conjuction with Kampung (village of) Kenali where he stayed at.


Tempat-tempat yang dilawati di Terengganu (Places visited in Terengganu)

Setelah membuat 4 artikel baru menggunakan gambar-gambar lama baru saya rasa selesa untuk mempersembahkan kompilasi links untuk tempat-tempat di Terengganu.

Makam (Tomb of) Sayyid Yassin

Dipersembahkan artikel ke 474 di sini...
Presenting the 474th article here.


Satu lagi makam yang sepatutnya sudah lama diketengahkan di blogspot ini terletak di atas Bukit Puteri berdekatan pusat bandaraya Kuala Terengganu.
One more tomb which should have long been featured in this blogspot is situated on top of Bukit Puteri (literally hill of the princess) nearby the Kuala Terengganu city centre.


Ia adalah makam Sayyid (juga dieja Syed atau Saiyid) Yassin, seorang pembesar penting istana Terengganu awal abad ke 18 Masihi.

It is the tomb of Sayyid (also spelt Syed or Saiyid) Yassin, an important official of the Terengganu palace early 18th century AD.


Selain menjadi penguasa Bukit Puteri beliau adalah menantu Sultan pertama Terengganu, Sultan Zainal Abidin I (lihat Makam (tomb of) Sultan Zainal Abidin I, Terengganu...).

Apart from becoming governor of Bukit Puteri he is the son-in-law of the first Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Zainal Abidin I (see Makam (tomb of) Sultan Zainal Abidin I, Terengganu...).


Batu nesan makam Sayyid Hassan. Menurut salasilah keluarga Sayyid dan Sharifah keturunan Nabi Muhammad SAW, beliau adalah moyang kepada semua keluarga Al-Yahya di Malaysia.

Tombstone at the tomb of Sayyid Hassan. According to the Sayyid and Sharifah (female version of Sayyid) family genealogy, he is the ancestor to all Al-Yahya (one of their branches) family in Malaysia.


Makam (Tomb of) Tokku Paloh

Merujuk pada artikel Masjid (Mosque of) Tokku Paloh yang baru dibuat tadi, rupa-rupanya saya juga terlupa hendak membuat artikel tentang makam beliau untuk blogspot ini.

Referring to the article Masjid (Mosque of) Tokku Paloh made just now, as it turned out I also forgot to do an article on his tomb for this blogspot.

Nasib baik ada gambar lama yang boleh digunakan. Makam beliau terletak di satu tanah perkuburan Islam yang dinamakan sempena beliau sekitar 200 meter saja dari masjid.

Luckily there are old pictures which could be used. His tomb is situated at a Muslim cemetery named after him just about 200 metres from the mosque.



Makam Tokku Paloh terletak di dalam bangunan atas bukit. Dalam artikel masjid telah disebut nama sebenar beliau iaitu Saiyid Abdul Rahman.

The tomb of Tokku Paloh is situated inside a building on top a hill. In the mosque article has been mentioned his real name which is Saiyid Abdul Rahman.


Biar ditambah ulamak besar ini dikenali sebagai Tokku Paloh kerana dianggap orang tua bertaraf kerabat diraja lalu dipanggil Tokku yang menguasai kawasan sekitar iaitu Paloh.
Let it be added that this major religious figure was known as Tokku Paloh as he was considered an elder figure of royal status hence called the Tokku (elder royal) who had power over the surrounding area which is Paloh.


Lihat kawasan berkelambu dalam bangunan.

Look at the area covered by clothe inside the building.


Di dalamnya terdapat makam Tokku Paloh yang ditanda batu sungai bulat. Al-Fatihah untuk beliau...

Inside it lies the tomb of Tokku Paloh which is marked by round river stones. Recital of Al-Fatihah (the Quran's opening verses) for him...


Masjid (Mosque of) Tokku Paloh

Ah. Ada lagi tempat yang saya terlepas pandang rupanya. Saya sudah biasa sangat pergi ke masjid ini malah pernah tidur di dalamnya beberapa kali sehingga menyangkakan sudah lama membuat artikel tentangnya di blogspot ini. Terpaksalah saya memakai sedikit gambar yang ada pada artikel New trip to the East Coast - Tomb and mosque of Tok Ku Paloh revisited di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH...
Ah. As it turns out there are still other places I've missed. I've been so often to this mosque in fact had slept inside a number of times that I thought I had long ago made an article on it in this blogspot. So I'm forced to used the few pictures available in the article New trip to the East Coast - Tomb and mosque of Tok Ku Paloh revisited in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH...
,

Ini adalah masjid Tok Ku Paloh, dinamakan sempena seorang ulamak abad ke 19 Masihi yang sangat terserlah, katanya bertaraf wali. Letaknya sekitar 3 km di luar bandaraya Terengganu.

This is the mosque of Tok Ku Paloh, named after a very prominent 19th Century religious man, said to be of saintly status., situated some 3 km outside the city of Kuala Terengganu.



Nama sebenar Tokku Paloh adalah Saiyid Abdul Rahman. Saiyid adalah gelaran yang menunjukkan beliau berketurunan Nabi Muhammad SAW. Di Terengganu seorang Saiyid juga sering dipanggil dengan gelaran diraja Engku. Maka itu nama penuh rasmi masjid ini ialah Masjid Almarhum Engku Saiyid Abdul Rahman Tok Ku Paloh

His real name is Saiyid Abdul Rahman, Saiyid is a title showing him as of the lineage of Prophet Muhammad SAW. In Terengganu a Saiyid is also often called by royal title Engku. Thus the full official name of the mosque is Masjid (mosque of) Almarhum (the deceased) Engku Saiyid Abdul Rahman Tok Ku Paloh.


.

Seingat saya, gambar di dalam ada diambil tapi tak jumpa. Cukuplah ya...

As far as I could remember pictures inside have been taken but couldn't be found. Enough ya...


Masjid (Mosque of) Abidin, Kuala Terengganu

Merujuk pada artikel Tempat-tempat yang dilawati di Pahang (Places visited in Pahang) yang dibuat tadi. Ini lagi satu kes. Masjidnya dah banyak kali pergi tetapi ceritanya belum pernah dijadikan artikel yang sesuai di blogspot ini. Nasib baik ada artikel To Masjid Abidin, the white mosque with the kids... di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. Bolehlah diambil terus gambar lalu dijadikan artikel baru di sini. Ish...
Referring to the article Tempat-tempat yang dilawati di Pahang (Places visited in Pahang) made just now. This is one more case. The mosque has been visited many times but its story has not been made into a suitable article in this blogspot. Luckily there is the article To Masjid Abidin, the white mosque with the kids... in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH. The pictures could be directly taken and made into a new article here. Ish...


Ini adalah Masjid Abidin di tengah bandaraya Kuala Terengganu.
This is the mosque of Abidin in the middle of Kuala Terengganu city.


Lebih terkenal sebagai Masjid Putih kerana warnanya ia asalnya sebuah istana kayu yang dibina 200 tahun sebelum dijadikan masjid batu.
Better known as Masjid Putih (the white mosque) due to its colour it was originally built as a palace before it was turned itu a concrete mosque.


Ia telah diperbaiki dan diperbesarkan beberapa kali untuk membentuk masjid sekarang. Namun sesetengah bahagian kayu yang penuh seni dikekalkan.

It has been renovated and enlarged a number of times to form the current mosque. Still some wooden parts full of art are retained.


Lihat menara azannya yang memiliki 7 tingkat.

Look at the call to prayer tower which has 7 levels.



Lihat juga bahagian-bahagian lain.

Look also at other parts.









Ternyata masjid ini indah dari setiap sudut. Sekarang lihat pula ke dalam. Masuk artikel Di dalam Masjid Abidin (Inside the Abidin Mosque), Kuala Terengganu... yang dibuat lebih 2 tahun lalu

It is apparent this mosque is beautiful from all angles. Now look in turn at what is inside. Enter the article Di dalam Masjid Abidin (Inside the Abidin Mosque), Kuala Terengganu... which was made more than 2 years ago.



Tempat-tempat yang dilawati di Pahang (Places visited in Pahang)



Allah! Sungguh menyedihkan. Apabila mula mengumpul links untuk dijadikan artikel-artikel kompilasi tentang tempat-tempat yang dilawati di setiap negeri baru saya tersedar betapa kecilnya koleksi artikel tentang Pahang di blogspot ini. Walhal ia adalah negeri tempat bapa saya membesar, tempat saya selalu berulang-alik berjumpa saudara-mara hingga kini. Ia juga adalah negeri terbesar di Semenanjung Malaysia. Jadi takkanlah itu sahaja yang mampu dipaparkan tentangnya ya tak?
God! Very saddening. It is when I started to compile links to be made into complation articles on places visited at every state that I realised how small is the collection of articles on Pahang in this blogspot.When the fact is this is the state where my father grew up at, the place where I often go to and fro to see relatives till now. It is also the biggest state in Peninsular Malaysia. So how could these be all that I'm capable of potraying about isn't it?

Sebenarnya saya sudah melawat banyak tempat di Pahang dan ini boleh dilihat pada blogspots saya yang lain, cuma belum tergerak untuk mengenengahkannya menjadi artikel di sini. Misalnya saya sudah banyak kali singgah di masjid jamek Kampung Janda Baik, banyak kali juga singgah di masjid jamek lama Bentong tetapi tidak mengambil gambar. Saya juga sudah beberapa kali singgah di masjid jamek Kuala Lipis yang merupakan antara masjid paling terkenal di Pahang. Rasanya gambar luar dan dalam ada diambil tapi tak ingat letak di mana. Kalau tidak tentu artikel baru akan dibuat walaupun menggunakan gambar lama sebelum disenaraikan dalam kompilasi.
Actually I have visited plenty of places in Pahang and this could be seen at my other blogspots, it's just that I have yet to be moved to feature it as articles here. For example I have many times visited the main mosque of Kampung (village of) Janda Baik, many times also stopped at the old main mosque of Bentong but didn't take pictures. I have also stopped by a number of times at the Kuala Lipis main mosque which happens to be among the most famous mosque in Pahang. I feel I have taken pictures inside out but couldn't remember where it was put. Otherwise surely a new article would have been made although using old pictures before it is listed under the compilation.

Begitu juga keadaan dengan masjid negeri Pahang di Kuantan berserta beberapa masjid di bandar diraja Pekan. Saya tidak dapat menemui gambar luar dalam masjid negeri yang pernah diambil kecuali 2-3 gambar luar, satu darinya dikongsikan di atas. Semua ini menjadi peringatan. Apabila timbul gerak untuk ke sana lagi, ambil gambar baru secukupnya kemudian jadikan artikel sebelum linksnya ditambah ke bahagian kompilasi di sidebar atau bawah blogspot. Biar sedikit artikel yang ada buat masa ini dijadikan pemangkin usaha...
Such is also the case with the state mosque of Pahang in Kuantan along with a few mosque at the royal town of Pekan. I couldn't find the inside out pictures of the state mosque which have been taken except 2-3 outside pictures, one of it shared above. All these become reminders. When comes the urge to go there again, take new pictures till it is enough to make into articles before the links are added to the compilation section at the sidebar of this blogspot or below. Let the few articles available at this time be made into catalyst for effort.

Makam Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah di Pagoh (Tomb of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah in Pagoh)

Allah! Tadi semasa mengatur links untuk tempat-tempat yang dilawati di Johor baru saya tersedar tidak pernah membuat apa-apa artikel tentang makam Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah di Pagoh, Muar. Untuk pengetahuan inilah satu-satunya makam Sultan Melaka yang masih wujud di Malaysia. Tidak patutlah ia tidak diketengahkan di sini apalagi saya sudah banyak kali ke sana dan tempatnya cuma sekitar 27 km dari rumah ibu bapa saya. Maaf kerana saya terpaksa menggunakan gambar-gambar lama. Saya tiada masa untuk meneliti setiap fail gambar dalam komputer demi mencari gambar terbaru dan terbaik...
Allah! Just now while arranging links for places visited in Johor did I realised I have not made any articles on the tomb of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah in Pagoh, Muar. For information it is the one and only tomb of a Sultan of Melaka which still exists in Malaysia. So it is certainly not proper to sideline and not feature it here what more I have been there many times and the place is just about 27 km from my parents' house. Sorry as I am forced to use old pictures. I have no time to look at every picture file in the computer in detail just for the sake of finding the latest and best pictures...



Di sebelah sebuah masjid di Kampung Raja, Pagoh (lihat Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I) boleh kelihatan papan maklumat ini.

Besides a mosque in Kampung Raja, Pagoh (look at Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I) could be seen this information board.




Papan maklumat menyebut di sebelahnya terdapat makam Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah, Sultan yang memerintah Melaka tahun 1477-1488 Masihi.

The information board says besides it lies the tomb of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah, the Sultan who ruled Melaka in the years 1477-1488 AD.




Baginda dikatakan seorang raja yang adil lagi prihatin dan bertaraf wali. Menurut maklumat turut dimakamkan di sini ialah seorang isteri baginda yang dikenali sebagai Puteri Berdarah Putih.
His majesty is said to be a just and very concerned king who had reached saintly status. According to the information also laid to rest here is one of his majesty's wives who was known as Puteri Berdarah Putih (the white-blooded princess).



p/s: Tadi juga baru saya tersedar ada menyebut sedikit tentang makam Sultan Alauddin dalam artikel Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I). Apapun ia adalah artikel tentang masjid, sekarang baru ada satu tentang makam walaupun ringkas.
Just now only I also realised I have mentioned a bit about the tomb of Sultan Alauddin in the article
Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah I). Whatever that is about the mosque, now only do we have one on the tomb although brief.
