Masjid lama misteri (The mysterious old mosque)

Assalamualaikum para pembaca sekalian. Di sini adalah gambar sebuah masjid lama yang agak misteri, sudah lama ditinggalkan dan tidak digunakan lagi kerana ia sekarang terletak di dalam sebuah kawasan estet kelapa sawit, tidak jauh daripada sebuah sungai utama di Malaysia. Kenapa saya gunakan perkataan "sekarang terletak di dalam sebuah kawasan estet"? Apakah suatu masa dahulu ia pernah terletak di dalam sebuah kawasan lain, mungkin sebuah bandar besar? Di manakah ia sebenarnya terletak? Kenapa masjid sebegini cantik boleh jadi masjid tinggal? Kenapa ada begitu banyak tanda-tanya?
Di sini saya ingin mengajak para pembaca membuat spekulasi sendiri, sahaja untuk perbincangan pembuka minda. Saya sendiri sudah ada sedikit jawaban tetapi biarlah orang lain menduga. Hmm... Baiklah... Saya beri sedikit petunjuk -
Apabila melihat masjid inilah baru saya faham bagaimana sejarah kegemilangan Melayu boleh dilenyapkan begitu sahaja oleh penjajah British... Bagaimana bandar-bandar yang dikuasai bangsa asing boleh naik bermula dengan Taiping tahun 1880an lalu merebak ke seluruh Tanah Melayu sedangkan orang Melayu yang pernah menerajui segala bidang ekonomi tanah-air sendiri pula terpinggir sehingga jadi tenggelam punca dan tidak kenal asal-usul serta kegemilangan sebenar bangsa sendiri!

Greetings dear readers. Here is a picture of an old mosque which is rather mysterious, abandoned and thus not in use because it is now located inside a palm oil estate not far away from one of the main rivers of Malaysia. Why did I use the words "now located inside a palm oil estate"? Maybe it's possible, once upon a time the mosque was situated within a totally different sort of environment, like a flourishing big city maybe? Where is it actually located? Why would a mosque this beautiful be left behind? Why so much questions?
Here, I'd like to invite readers to make your own speculations, just for fun, or at least to open up discussions. As for me, I do have some answers but let others make some foray OK... Well... Let me give some clue -
Seeing this mosque for the first time made me understand how whole loads of history of the greatness of the Malays were wiped out just like that by the colonial British... How, towns and cities controlled by other races began to appear on the scene with the establishment of Taiping in 1880an (the first town in Malaysia engineered by the colonialist) until the whole concept (leave the Malays out, give economic control to others) spread throughout the Malay lands while the natives which used to lead all aspects of the local economy were pushed to the fringe until they become a lost race, not knowing where they really come from and not understanding the greatness of their forefathers!
