Masjid Jamek (Main mosque of) Chenderiang, Perak

OK, kembali kita ke Malaysia, terus ke Perak...
OK, we return back to Malaysia, on to Perak...


Ini adalah Masjid Jamek Chenderiang.

This is the main mosque of Chenderiang.

Di halamannya boleh kelihatan sebuah bangunan kayu yang lebih lama..
Inside its yard could be seen an older wooden building...

Kita lihat bangunan utama masjid terlebih dahulu.
We look the the mosque's main building first.


Kolah mengambil wuduk.
The pool for taking abolution.



Serambing belakang.
The back verandah.




Dewan utama solat.
The main praying hall.





Sekarang kita lihat bangunan lama di sebelah...
Now we have a look at the old building besides...


Perhatikan ukiran yang ada terutama bentuk seperti lidah terjulur pada sudut bumbung.
Look at the carvings available especially the ones shaped like tounges hanging down the corners of the roof.



Mari masuk ke dalam...
Let's go inside...





Melihat atur penggunaan ruang, nampaknya ia adalah bangunan masjid terdahulu...
Looking at the usage of space, it looks like this building was the previous mosque...




Dari serambinya kelihatan tanah perkuburan Islam di seberang jalan. Saya difahamkan di sini bersemadi sejumlah pemuka masyarakat terutama dari keluarga Sayyid Jamalulail Perak.
From the verandah could be seen the Muslim burial ground across the road. I was made to understand that here lies the bodies of a number of local elders especially those from the Perak Sayyid Jamalulail family.
