Rumah tradisional Perak di Kuala Lumpur? (Perak traditional house in Kuala Lumpur?)

Di satu bahagian Kuala Lumpur berdekatan Jalan Ipoh kelihatan rumah ini.
At one part of Kuala Lumpur near Jalan Ipoh could be seen this house.


Ia adalah satu rumah berbentuk tradisional yang dikelilingi bangunan moden.
It is a traditional-shaped house surrounded by modern buildings.



Perhatikan rekabentuknya betul-betul.
Look at its designs closely.

Paling menarik perhatian saya adalah bentuk seperti lidah tergantung di sudut bumbung, satu bentuk biasa dilihat di sekitar Perak juga sebahagian Kedah dan Pulau Pinang, jarang sekali diluar lingkungan itu apalagi di Kuala Lumpur.

What caught my attention the most is the shape like tounges coming down from the corners of the roof, a shape often seen around Perak also parts of Kedah and Pulau Pinang, hardly seen outside that perimeter what more in Kuala Lumpur.

Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Saad bin Abi Waqqas

Di bahagian lain Jalan Gombak pula, lebih ke dekat ke pusat bandaraya Kuala Lumpur terdapat masjid ini.

At another section of Jalan Gombak in turn, nearer to the centre of the city of Kuala Lumpur their exist this mosque.

Namanya Masjid jamek Saad bin Abi Waqqas.

Its name is Masjid jamek (main mosque of) Saad bin Abi Waqqas.

Mari lihat ke dalam.

Let us look inside.

Tangga dari pintu utama terus membawa ke dewan solat...

Stairs from the main door bring immediately to the praying hall...

Bahagian bawah kubah.

Section under the dome.

Mihrab.

Front-most section.

Perhatikan hiasan dinding yang rumit...

Look at its intricate wall decoration...

Masjid (Mosque of) Zaid bin Haritsah

Dari Thailand kita kembali ke Kuala Lumpur...
From Thailand we return to Kuala Lumpur...

Di satu bahagian Jalan Gombak terdapat masjid ini...

At one part of Jalan Gombak there exist this mosque...

Ia dipanggil Masjid Zaid bin Haritsah.
It is called the mosque of Zaid bin Haritsah.

Ia sebuah masjid moden dengan rekabentuk menarik.

It is a modern mosque with interesting design.

Lihat kubahnya yang unik.

Look at its unique dome.

Menara juga boleh tahan...

Its tower is also not bad...

Sekarang mari masuk ke dalam.

Now let us go inside.

Perhatikan betul-betul. Bahagian luar tidak selari dengan yang dalam.

Look closely. Its outer section is not in line with the inner one.

Ini disebabkan bahagian luar dibina selari dengan jalanraya sedangkan bahagian dalam senget ke satu sudut yang menghadap kiblat di Ka'abah.

This is because the outer section is built to be in line with the main road while the section inside turns to an angle facing the kiblat (direction for Muslims in prayers) towards the Ka'abah.

Sekarang kita lihat sahaja rekabentuk keseluruhan yang seolah-olah ada unsur bangunan Alhambara di Sepanyol.

Now we just simply look at the overall design which seems to have elements of the Alhambra building in Spain.

Kawasan bawah kubah. Perhatikan ia terletak begitu dekat dengan mihrab, satu ciri yang tidak pernah saya lihat pada masjid lain.

The area under the dome. Take note that it is located so near to the front-most section, a feature I never saw at other mosques.
