Perhatikan kata-kata pada papan-tanda di atas... Masjid Pulau Besar. Terperanjat saya apabila melihatnya. Sudahlah namanya sama dengan nama Pulau Besar di Melaka, perasaan yang timbul apabila berada di sini juga hampir serupa. Bezanya, Pulau Besar yang lagi satu memang sebuah pulau sedangkan kawasan ini pula adalah sebuah daratan yang terletak sekitar 1-2km daripada tebing Sungai Perak.
Look at the words on the board above... Masjid Pulau Besar. I was surprised when I looked at it. Not only the name is the same as that of Pulau (island of) Besar in Melaka, the 'feel' which came to me here is also almost the same. The difference, the other Pulau Besar is an island while this area is on the mainland situated about 1-2km from the banks of the Perak river.
I first came to know about the existence of place called Pulau Besar in Perak while looking for the tomb of a Perak royalty known as Raja Ahmad last September. It is situated between Teluk Intan and Kampung Gajah. These pictures were taken during my second visit there, this time with a friend named Zaidi. This friend took the pictures. I just followed as I consider this a movement from Allah to give useful hints to me about life, also to others.
Lihat... Menarik bukan? Saya memang suka rekabentuk masjid-masjid lama seperti ini.
Look... Interesting isn't it? I always like the architecture of old mosque such as this.
Sebuah papan menyebut "Sembahyanglah sebelum anda disembahyangkan"... Maknanya, mulalah menunaikan rukun Islam lima yang wajib itu sebelum kita mati lalu disembahyangkan orang. Mati itu adalah sesuatu yang pasti. Maka janganlah kita mati dalam keadaan menjadi orang-orang yang rugi...
A signboard saying "Pray before you are being prayed for"... Meaning, do the obligatory prayers that is among the five pillars of Islam before you die and people have to pray for you. Dying is a sure thing. So don't die in the state of being of a loser...
Sekali lagi, menara Masjid Pulau Besar, Perak. Suka betul si Zaidi dengan menara ini.
One more time, the tower of Masjid Pulau Besar, Perak. This Zaidi really likes the tower.
Hmm... If I'm the one taking pictures, most probably I won't take notice of the above poster. Why should anyone care about a poster that says "give lots of alms gain lots of blessings". But when I think back, there is deep and important meaning in these words... Isn't giving the obligatory alms the fourth pillar of Islam?
Lagi peringatan-peringatan yang dirakamkan oleh saudara Zaidi, kali ini daripada papan tanda masjid dengan sepotong ayat Al-Quran yang membawa makna "Sesungguhnya telah menang orang yang beriman iaitu mereka yang kusyuk dalam sembahyang". Ternyata, walaupun rakan itu sekadar merakamkan gambar menurut gerak rasa yang belum tentu ada asasnya, ia tetap bermakna untuk menyampaikan sesuatu peringatan untuk diri saya, juga sesiapa yang mahu mengambil iktibar. Ingat, walaupun zahirnya, Zaidi yang bertindak mengambil gambar ini, hakikatnya Allah jua yang menggerakkannya... Dengan bersebab dalam kebijaksaanNya jua!
More reminders recorded by my dear friend Zaidi, this time from the framed board in the mosque with a piece of Quranic verse which carries the meaning "Surely have won those faithful people who pray with utmost concentration". It is apparent, although this friend just snapped the pictures out of whim and fancy which might not have any solid basis, it still is meaningful to pass a certain reminder for me, also to whoever who wants to learn. Remember, eventhough physically it was Zaidi who took the picture, in truth it is Allah who moves him to do so... For a reason within God's wisdom!
Ini pula ayat Quran yang membawa makna "Sesungguhnya sembahyang itu mencegah perbuatan yang keji dan yang mungkar". Takkan ini pun tak faham?
This is a Quranic verse with the meaning "Surely the prayers prevents behavious which are bad and sinful". Surely you can understand this!
Hmm... Gambar sebuah masjid besar Turki yang menghiasi sebuah kalendar lama pun turut diambil si Zaidi. Macam ada makna tersirat di sini lebih-lebih lagi kerana ada nombor 11 yang terserlah berwarna merah, nombor yang ada makna tersendiri buat diri ini...
Hmm... The picture of a big mosque in Turki gracing an old calendar was also snapped by Zaidi. As if there's a hidden meaning behind this especially the nombor 11 which stood out in red, a number which has a certain meaning for this self...
Ah... Apabila diteliti balik memang dalam maknanya... Sebuah masjid besar di Turki, sebuah kalendar dengan tarikh-tarikh tertentu... Ada disebut 12 Disember, ada tertera bulan Islam Zulhijjah... Teringat saya akan sebuah mimpi yang berlaku lebih 2 tahun lalu melibatkan seorang buah hati...
Ah... When examined again there is a deep meaning... A big mosque in Turki, a calender with certain dates... There's mention of 12 December, there's the Islamic month of Zulhijjah... Reminds me of a dream which happens more than 2 years ago involving a sweetheart...
Sijil pendaftaran masjid menyebut nama masjid dengan alamatnya: Masjid Kampung Pulau Besar, Pasir Panjang Ulu, 36800 Kampung Gajah, Perak Darul Ridzuan. Cukuplah gerak untuk bercerita tentang masjid ini. Wassalam!
The mosque's registration certificate with its name and address: Masjid Kampung Pulau Besar, Pasir Panjang Ulu, 36800 Kampung Gajah, Perak Darul Ridzuan. Enough of the urge to talk about this mosque. Peace!
