Masjid (mosque of) Malahayati

Anggap ini bersambung dari artikel Makam (tomb of) Laksamana (royal admiral) Keumala Hayati!
Consider this as continuing from the article Makam (tomb of) Laksamana (royal admiral) Keumala Hayati!


Di kaki bukit tempat Laksamana Keumala Hayati diabadikan terdapat sebuah masjid yang dinamakan sempena laksamana wanita ini iaitu Masjid Malahayati.

At the foot of the hill where Laksamana Keumala Hayati was laid to rest there exist a mosque which is named after the female admiral that is the mosque of Malahayati.


Masjidnya agak ringkas. Mungkin juga ia diberi nama sempena nama kawasan sekitar yang memiliki sebuah bandar pelabuhan dipanggil Pelabuhan Malahayati. Apapun ia masih berkait dengan nama sang laksamana wanita...
The mosque is rather simple. Maybe the name given was actually given after the surrounding area which has a harbour town known as Pelabuhan (harbour of) Malahayati. Whatever it is still related to the name of the female admiral...


Seperti beberapa tempat di sekitar kawasan pantai Aceh, di sini juga terdapat sebuah tugu untuk memperingati tsunami yang melanda negeri ini 26 Disember 2004.
Just like at a number of areas around the coastal areas of Aceh, here also exist a monument in remembrance of the tsunami which ravaged the country 26th December 2004.


Pada tugu ini tercatat bahawa ombak tsunami di sini naik ke paras 2.5 meter...

On this monument is inscribed that the tsunami here reached a level of 2.5 metres...


Alhamdulillah, ini tidak cukup tinggi untuk menenggelamkan seluruh masjid. Untuk pengetahuan, ada tempat yang dilanda ombak tsunami setinggi 2-3 kali dari ini!
Thank God, this is not high enough to submerge the whole mosque. For information, there were places ravaged by tsunami waves as high as 2-3 times this!




Mari masuk ke dalam...
Let us go inside...





Cukuplah tempat ini dapat digunakan seperti fungsinya sebagai masjid. Sekian...
Enough that this place could be used as per its function as a mosque. That's all...
