Makam diraja (Royal tomb complex of) Johor, Jalan Mahmoodiah, Johor Bahru

Di Jalan Mahmoodiah tidak jauh dari Masjid Abu Bakar terdapat sebuah tanah perkuburan yang luas...

At Jalan (street of) Mahmoodiah not far from the mosque of Abu Bakar there exist a wide burial ground...

Satu bahagiannya dihadkan untuk kerabat diraja Johor...

One part of it is reserved for the royal family of Johor...

Para kerabat utama termasuk Sultan-sultan Johor disemadikan di dalam bangunan ini...

The main kith and kins including Sultans of Johor are laid to rest in this building...

Sultan-sultan Johor ini adalah dari Dinasti Temenggung yang mula menaiki takhta penghujung abad ke 19 Masihi...

These Sultans of Johor are from the Temenggung (a major palace official) Dynasty who ascended the throne at the end of the 19th century AD...

Untuk pengetahuan Johor sebelum itu diperintah oleh Sultan-sultan dari Dinasti Bendahara...

For information Johor before that was ruled by Sultans from the Bendahara (the most senior palace official) Dynasty...

Sebelum tahun 1700 pula Johor diperintah oleh Sultan-sultan yang berketurunan Raja Melaka...

In turn, before the year 1700 Johor was ruled by Sultans descended from the kings of Melaka...

Namun saya lebih tertarik pada satu makam di luar bangunan utama...

Still I was more attracted to a tomb outside the main building...

Inilah makam Sultan Ismail Muabiddin Shah, Sultan yang memerintah Perak sejurus sebelum Perjanjian Pangkor 1874 berkuatkuasa.

This is the tomb of Sultan Ismail Muabiddin Shah, the Sultan who ruled Perak just before the Pangkor Treaty of 1874 was enforced.

Masjid (Mosque of Abu Bakar), Johor Bahru...

Dari Pontian kita beralih ke Johor Bahru. Mari! :]
From Pontian we move on to Johor Bahru. Come! :]

Dari tepian Selat Tebrau mendekati pusat bandaraya Johor Bahru boleh kelihatan masjid ini...

From the side of the Straits of Tebrau approaching Johor Bahru city centre could be seen this mosque...

Selamat datang ke Masjid Abu Bakar, masjid utama negeri Johor.
Welcome to the mosque of Abu Bakar, the main mosque of the state of Johor.



Mari kita lihat ke dalam...
Let us go inside...

Seperti di mana-mana masjid, pengunjung terutama wanita mesti menutup aurat...

Like at any mosque, visitors especially women must cover their body parts...

Serambi kiri masjid...

The mosque's left verandah...

Dewan utama solat kelihatan serupa dengan apa yang terdapat di Masjid Jamek Muar (lihat artikel Masjid Jamek (main mosque) of Muar... ). Dewan utama Masjid Muhammadi di Kota Bahru, Kelantan (lihat Masjid (mosque of) Muhammadi, Kota Bahru, Kelantan... ) juga hampir serupa.

The main praying hall looks similar to the ones available at the main mosque of Muar (look at the article Masjid Jamek (main mosque) of Muar... ). The main hall of the Muhammadi mosque in Kota Bahru, Kelantan (look at Masjid (mosque of) Muhammadi, Kota Bahru, Kelantan... ) also looks almost the same.

Tetapi tidak seperti di 2 masjid itu, mimbar di Masjid Abu Bakar dibuat daripada besi.

But unlike at the 2 mosque, the pulpit at the mosque of Abu Bakar is built from steel.

Ini ialah ruang solat wanita yang terletak di belakang atas...

This is the women's praying section which is located at the upper rear...

Bahagian luar ruang solat wanita...

The outer parts of the women's praying section...

Sekarang baru kita melihat masjid daripada laman utama...

Now only we have a look at the mosque from the main lawn...

Di sini terletak papan-maklumat tentang masjid...

Here is put the information board on the mosque...

Masjid (Mosque of ) Teluk Kerang

Bersambung daripada artikel Muzium Bugis (Bugis Museum), Teluk Kerang.
Continued from the artikel Muzium Bugis (Bugis Museum), Teluk Kerang.

Betul-betul bersebelahan muzium terdapat Masjid Teluk Kerang...

Right next to the museum lies the mosque of Teluk Kerang...

Satu perkara yang menarik ialah bumbung-bumbung masjid yang berbentuk payung...

An interesting feature are roofs of the mosque which are shaped like umbrellas...

Namun ciri ini tidak akan bertahan lama nampaknya. Kenapa? Biar kita masuk dahulu...
Still this feature would not last long it seems. Why? Let us go inside first...

Ruang solat belakang...

The rear section for prayers...

Pintu masuk ke dewan utama solat sedang berkunci semasa saya sampai. Maka cukuplah kita lihat dari luar...

The entrance to the main praying hall was locked when I arrived. Thus it is enough that we just view it from outside...

Pada dinding masjid ada kelihatan pelan untuk binaan masjid baru. Nampaknya seperti masjid separuh kayu di Sungai Durian (lihat artikel Masjid (Mosque of) Sungai Durian, Serkat, Pontian), Masjid Teluk Kerang juga akan berubah rupa tidak lama lagi. Sekian.

On the walls of the mosque could be seen the plan for a new mosque building. It seems that just like the part-wooden mosque at Sungai Durian (look at the article Masjid (Mosque of) Sungai Durian, Serkat, Pontian), the mosque of Teluk Kerang would also change face soon. That's all.

Muzium Bugis (Bugis Museum), Teluk Kerang

Tidak jauh dari Kukup, iaitu di Teluk Kerang, terdapat muzium ringkas ini...
Not far from Kukup, that is at Teluk Kerang, there lies this simple museum...


Ia adalah sebuah museum persendirian yang didirikan oleh seorang warga tempatan...
It is a private museum built by a local...

Kebanyakan barangan yang terpampang merupakan dokumen dan gambar-gambar lama...

Most of the goods displayed are documents and old pictures...

Terdapat juga barangan hiasan rumah dan sebagainya, semuanya berkaitan Bugis...
There are also house decorations and such, all related to Bugis (an ethnic Malay group from the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia)...

Muzium ini terbuka kepada semua pada siang hari. Elok juga bertandang untuk mengisi masa dan belajar sedikit sejarah...

This museum is opened to all during daytime. It's good to pay a visit to fill time and study a bit of history...

Masjid (Mosque of) Sungai Durian, Serkat, Pontian

Sekarang mari kita ke daerah Pontian, Johor...
Now let us go to the district of Pontian, Johor...

Ini adalah masjid yang terdapat di Sungai Durian, Serkat, selatan Pontian...

This is a mosque available at Sungai Durian, Serkat, south Pontian...

Kombinasi bangunan kayu dan batu membuat saya ingin melihat lebih dekat...
The combination of wood and concrete made me want to have a closer look...

Saya diberitahu bahagian kayunya akan dirobohkan tidak lama lagi untuk digantikan dengan batu...

I was told that the wooden section would be demolished soon to be replaced with concrete...

Maka elok juga direkodkan gambar masjid ini. Mari kita lihat ke dalam pula...
Thus it is good to record pictures of this mosque. Let us have a look inside in turn...

Ruang salat...

The prayer hall...

Mimbar. Cukuplah ini untuk membentuk artikel ke 303 di blogspot ini...

The pulpit. These should be enough to form the 303th article in this blogspot...
