Continued from Makam (Tomb of) Iskandar Syah.

Tempat terakhir dilawati dalam lawatan terbaru saya ke Singapura adalah Masjid Ba'Alawi di Lewis Road.
The last place visited in my latest trip to Singapura was the mosque of Ba'Alawi at Lewis Road.

Dinamakan sempena keluarga Ba'Alawi yang merupakan keturunan Nabi Muhammad SAW yang banyak beranak-pinak di Hadramaut, Yemen iaitu di penghujung Semenanjung Arab ia boleh dikatakan masjid paling terkenal di Singapura selepas Masjid Sultan.

Named after the Ba'Alawi family who are descendants of Prophet Muhammad SAW who thrived and spread in Hadramaut, Yemen which is at the end of the Arab peninsular it could be said to be the most famous mosque in Singapura.

Keluarga Ba'Alawi diketahui banyak berhijrah lalu bertebaran ke serata dunia termasuk ke Singapura. Masjid ini menjadi satu pusat buat mereka.

The Ba'Alawi family are known to have migrated and spread all over the world including to Singapura. This mosque becomes a centre for them.

Masjid ini juga sering dikunjungi orang Islam lain yang mahu mengambil berkat dari anak cucu keturunan Nabi.

This mosque is also often visited by other Muslims who want to take blessings from the descendants of the Prophet.

Masjid ini turut memaparkan beberapa barangan berkaitan sejarah Islam.

This mosque also features a number of items related to the history of Islam.

Difahamkan sesetengah barangan memang dibawa dari Tanah Arab untuk memberikan rasa nostalgia kepada mereka yang berketurunan dari sana.

It is understood some of the items were indeed brought from the Arab lands to give a feeling of nostalgia for those who are descended from there.

Makam (Tomb of) Iskandar Syah

Bersambung dari Tapak kajipurba (Archeological dig), Bukit Singapura.
Continued from Tapak kajipurba (Archeological dig), Bukit Singapura.

Sekitar 50 meter sahaja dari tapak arkeologi terdapat pondok ini...

Just about 50 metres from the archeological dig there lies this hut...

Tersebut di sini letaknya Keramat Iskandar Syah.

Said here that this is where lies the Keramat (shrine of) Iskandar Syah.

Dipercayai di sini dimakamkan seorang Sultan Singapura lama yang dikenali sebagai Iskandar Syah.

It is believed that here is buried the remains of a old Singapura Sultan known as Iskandar Syah.

Menariknya catatan pada lantai hadapan menyebut inilah Iskandar Syah yang meninggalkan Singapura penghujung abad ke 14 Masihi. Ia turut menyebut inilah dia orang yang dikenali sebagai Parameswara yang kemudian membuka kerajaan Melaka.

Interestingly the note at the front floor says this is the Iskandar Syah who left Singapura at the end of the 14th century AD. It also says this is the person who was known as Parameswara who then opened up the kingdom of Melaka.

Tapak kajipurba (Archeological dig), Bukit Singapura

Kami juga ada menaiki Bukit Singapura yang kini lebih dikenali sebagai bukit Fort Canning, sempena nama sebuah kota pertahanan yang dibina penjajah British di atasnya. Di lereng bukit ada satu tinggalan dari zaman purba.

We also went up Bukit (hill of) Singapura which is now better known as the hill of Fort Canning, in commemoration of the name of a defence fort erected by the colonialist British on top. At a side of the hill there lies a remain from ancient times.

Bukit ini memang diketahui pernah menjadi pusat pemerintahan kerajaan Melayu Singapura abad ke 14 Masihi. Namun ada usaha pihak tertentu untuk menyatakan sejarah lama yang ada semata-mata dari sudut pandangan kaum Cina yang kini mendominasi pulau ini.

This hill is already known as the centre of rule for the Malay kingdom of Singapura in the 14th century AD. Still there are efforts by certain parties to potray its old history exclusively from the angle and views of the Chinese race which now dominate this island.

Sedikit peninggalan yang berjaya dibongkar menjadi bukti kewujudan kerajaan lama.

The little bits of remains succesfully unearthed become evidence of the existence of an old kingdom.

Soalnya bagaimana apa yang ada mahu diceritakan kepada ramai. Bagi orang Melayu kewujudan kerajaan lama Singapura adalah bukti ketamadunan Melayu yang tinggi. Bagi mereka yang mahu menghilangkan peranan Melayu, mereka tidak dapat menafikan akan kewujudan kerajaan Melayu tetapi boleh memperkecilkannya sebagai salah satu bandar pelabuhan yang kononnya berada di bawah pengaruh maharaja China...

The question is how to tell the story about what is available to the masses. For the Malay people the existence of an old Singapura kingdom is a proof of Malay high civilisation. For those who want to obscure the role of the Malays, they could not defy the existence of a Malay kingdom but could downgrade it as one of the harbour port cities allegedly under the influence of the emperor of China.

Masjid Melayu Sembawang (Malay mosque of Sembawang)

Masjid (Mosque of) Darul Makmur, Yishun

OK. Saya sudah memulakan satu siri kecil di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH tentang perjalanan ke Singapura menaiki keretapi yang dibuat lebih sebulan lalu. Biar disiarkan beberapa tempat yang dilawati untuk blogspot ini.

Tempat-tempat yang dilawati di (Places visited in) Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Perlis

Kita sambung lagi proses kompilasi links.
We continue again with the links compilation process.

Pada mulanya saya serba salah juga untuk mengenengahkan kompilasi links Kedah. Setelah melihat koleksi yang ada ternyata, saya baru membuat sejumlah 12 sahaja artikel tentang tempat-tempat di negeri itu, bila ditambah artikel Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Muzaffar Shah I Kedah yang dibuat lebih awal tadi baru jadi 13. Ada rasa malu kerana sedikit sangat yang ada walhal saya juga selalu ke Kedah.

At first I felt rather all wrong for me to feature the compilation of links for Kedah. After looking at the available collection it is clear, I have made only a total of 12 articles on places in that state, after adding the article Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Muzaffar Shah I Kedah which was made earlier just now then it becomes 13. There are a bit of feeling of shame because too little are available when the fact is I often go to Kedah too.

Sebenarnya saya ada koleksi tambahan dari perjalanan terbaru yang dibuat bulan Ramadhan. Setelah menyemak gambar yang diambil ternyata ada 24 masjid yang boleh diketengahkan, 7 makam dan 9 tempat lain. Tetapi mengikut kebiasaan saya cuma boleh menambah apabila siri tentang perjalanan itu dimulakan di blogspot utama saya CATATAN SI MERAH SILU. Kemungkinan besar siri cuma akan dimulakan tahun hadapan.

Actually I have an extra collection from the latest trip made in the month of Ramadhan. After checking the pictures taken it is clear that there 24 mosques which could be highlighted, 7 tombs and 9 other places. But according to habit I could only add after the series on this trip has been started in my main blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU. Most probably the series would only be started next year.

Saya juga ada koleksi gambar lama yang belum dijadikan cerita di sini. Tapi buat sementara terimalah apa yang ada. Sekurang-kurangnya saya sudah menambah satu artikel tentang makam Sultan Muzaffar Shah I menggunakan gambar terbaru. Kerana itulah penyebab saya membuat perjalanan itu.

I also have a collection of old pictures which have not been turned into stories here. But for the moment just accept what is available. At least I have added an article on the tomb of Sultan Muzaffar Shah I using new pictures. Because that is the reason I made the trip.

Oh, saya letakkan ini sebagai kompilasi Kedah, Pulau Pinang dan Perlis kerana satu saya tidak cukup artikel untuk dipecahkan kepada 3 negeri. Kedua, Pulau Pinang dan Perlis memang asalnya sebahagian dari Kedah. Jadi biarlah disatukan untuk ini ya...

Oh, I put this as the compilation for Kedah, Pulau Pinang and Perlis because one, I haven't got enough articles to be splitted into 3 states. Second, Pulau Pinang and Perlis were indeed originally parts of Kedah. So let it be united for this ya...

Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Muzaffar Shah I Kedah

Assalamualaikum semua. Tergerak saya malam ini untuk membuat artikel tentang makam Sultan Muzaffar Shah I Kedah menggunakan gambar yang diambil dari lawatan terbaru saya pertengahan bulan Ramadhan tiga bulan setengah lalu. Mari! :]
Peace be upon you all. I am moved tonight to write an article on the tomb of Sultan Muzaffar Shah I of Kedah using pictures taken from my latest visit middle of the month of Ramadhan (Muslim fasting month) three and a half months ago. Come! :]

Di satu bahagian Lembah Merbok di kaki Gunung Jerai kelihatan bangunan ini.

At one part of the Merbok Valley at the foot of Mount Jerai could be see this building.

Di dalamnya ada sejumlah makam.

Inside it there are a number of tombs.

Maklumat yang ada menyebut di sinilah terletaknya makam Sultan pertama Kedah, Sultan Muzaffar Shah I. Baginda dikatakan memerintah 1136-1179 Masihi.

The information available here says this is where lies the tomb of the first Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Muzaffar Shah I. His majesty is said to have ruled 1136-1179 Masihi.

Tapi yang mana satukah makam baginda? Di sini ada 5 buah makam. Biar kita lihat satu persatu dari kanan.

But which one is his majesty's tomb? Here there are 5 tombs. Let us have a look one by one from right.

Makam 1. Rasanya bukan...

Tomb 2. I feel not...

Makam 2 pun macam tu.

Tomb 2 is also like that.

Makam 3. Ada kemungkinan.

Tomb 3. There is a possibility.

Makam 4 adalah yang paling terserlah. Sesuailah kalau ini makam Sultan Muzaffar Shah I.

Tomb 4 is the most outstanding one. It is fitting if this is the tomb of Sultan Muzaffar Shah I.

Makam 5. Bentuk batu nesan dan kedudukannya di sisi kiri makam 4 (kiri jika dilihat dari sudut posisi mayat yang terbaring dengan kepala ke atas) membayangkan ini adalah makam isteri kepada pemilik makam 4.

Tomb 5. The shape of the tombstone and its position on the left of tomb 4 (left is seen from the position of a deceased body lying with head at the top) implies that this is the tomb of the wife of owner of tomb 4.

Ada pihak menyatakan makam dengan batu nesan paling besar dan terserlah itu, makam yang saya tanda sebagai makam 4 memang milik Sultan Muzaffar Shah I. Tapi menurut mereka Sultan Muzaffar ini hidup tahun 700an Masihi, 400 tahun awal dari tarikh yang diberikan secara rasmi lalu menyamakannya dengan watak legenda yang dikenali sebagai Merong Mahawangsa. Sejarah rasmi sebaliknya menyebut Merong Mahawangsa adalah nenek moyang kepada Sultan Muzaffar Shah I yang dikatakan memerintah 1136-1179 Masihi. Jadi manakah yang betul?

There is a party who said that the tomb with the biggest tombstones which stood out, the tomb I have marked as tomb 4 does indeed belong to Sultan Muzaffar Shah I. But according to them this Sultan Muzaffar I lived in the 700an AD, 400 years earlier than the date given officially and equate him with the legendary figure known as Merong Mahawangsa. Official history on the other hand says Merong Mahawangsa is the ancestor to Sultan Muzaffar Shah I who is said to have ruled 1136-1179 AD. So which one is right?

Tak mengapa. Kita biar sahaja persoalan ini tergantung. Biar ditambah, menurut pihak yang percaya Sultan Muzaffar Shah I adalah Merong Mahawangsa, makam dengan batu nesan kedua terserlah iaitu makam 3 adalah milik anakandanya yang turut dikenali sebagai Sultan Muzaffar Shah II.

It's alright. Let us just leave the question hanging. Let it be added, according to the party who believe Sultan Muzaffar Shah I is Merong Mahawangsa, the tomb with the second most oustanding tombstones which is tomb 3 belongs to his son who was also known as Sultan Muzaffar Shah II.

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

Tu dia. Saya baru sahaja membuat 3 artikel baru untuk kompilasi ini tetapi walaupun begitu masih sedikit yang telah diketengahkan walhal saya juga selalu pergi ke Kelantan. Tak mengapa. Tunggu lawatan baru Insyaallah saya akan cuba tambah lebih banyak isi. Nanti... :]

That's it. I have just made 3 new articles for this compilation but even then there are still too little that have been featured despite the fact that I often travel to Kelantan. It's alright. Wait for a new visit God willing I will try to add much more content. Wait... :]

Masjid (Mosques)

1. Masjid (mosque of) Muhammadi, Kota Bahru, Kelantan...

2. Masjid dan pondok (the mosque and hut of) Tok Kenali

3. Masjid (mosque) of Kampung Laut

2. Makam (tomb of) Raja Abdullah, Kelantan...

3. Kawasan permakaman diraja (royal mausoleum of) Kelantan, Langgar, Kota Bahru

4. Makam (Tomb of) Tok Kenali

5. Makam (Tomb of) Tok Selehor)

Kota, istana dan lain-lain (Forts, palaces and others)

1. Danau Tok Uban...

2. Mendaki Bukit Panau (Climbing Bukit Panau)

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? :]
