Kompleks makam Ratu Nahrisyah (Queen Nahrisyah tomb complex)
Some 700 metres from the tombs of the 44 religious scholars (look at the article Makam 44 ulamak (Tombs of the 44 religious scholars)) lies the Queen Nahrisyah tomb complex.
Makam 44 ulamak (Tombs of the 44 religious scholars)
OK. Time to break the ice. Continued from the article Akhirnya, makam Sultan Malikus Salih waktu siang (At last, tomb of Sultan Malikus Salih at daytime).
Sekitar 1.3 km dari makam Sultan Malikus Salih kelihatan papan-tanda ini.

Akhirnya, makam Sultan Malikus Salih waktu siang (At last, tomb of Sultan Malikus Salih at daytime)
Peace be upon you all. By right this article should only be made later, when the storytelling at the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU has reached the relevant parts. Still looking at the fact that it would become the 393th article here, I feel it is good to release it earlier...
Ini adalah kompleks makam Sultan Malikus Salih, pengasas kerajaan purba Samudera-Pasai.
This is the tomb complex of Sultan Malikus Salih, founder of the ancient kingdom of Samudera-Pasai.
A year ago I have made an article titled Makam (tomb of) Sultan Malikus Salih! which shows the condition of the tomb at night. It is only now I could show it during daytime, based on a visit made morning of 29th January 2010.
This is it the tomb of Sultan Malikus Salih. On the left is tomb of Sultan Malikul Zahir.
Al-Fatihah untuk Sultan Malikus Salih...
Recital of the Fatihah verses (opening of the holy book Quran) for Sultan Malikus Salih...
Makam pemimpin Dayah Tanoh Abee (Tombs of the leaders of the religious institution of Tanoh Abee)
Continued from Dayah Tanoh Abee yang asal (The original religious institution of Tanoh Abee).
Di dalam kompleks yang sama kelihatan makam ini.
Inside the complex could be seen this tomb.
Near it exist this tomb with Aceh tombstones.
Dayah Tanoh Abee yang asal (The original religious institution of Tanoh Abee)
Continued from the article Kawasan pemakaman (Burial area for) Panglima Polem. A bit more to the south could be seen a building complex...
Salah satu bangunannya kelihatan seperti surau tinggal.
One of its building looks like an abandoned surau (small praying hall).
Apabila dilihat lebih dekat kelihatan ada kawasan seperti tempat bersuluk menandakan tempat ini berkenaan amalan tariqat.
When looked closer it appears that there is a area like that of a place of meditation in solitude signifying this place is or was related to tariqat (Islamic spiritual and mysticism) practice.
Kemudian baru saya tahu di sinilah terletaknya Dayah Tanoh Abee yang asal (dayah adalah bahasa Aceh untuk madrasah). Untuk pengetahuan Dayah Tanoh Abee sangat terkenal di Aceh kerana perpustakaan kunonya menyimpan lebih 300 naskah kitab lama yang tidak ternilai. Ia diasaskan oleh seorang ulamak yang datang dari Baghdad 400 tahun lalu. Lihat artikel On to Tanoh Abee... so what exists over there? di BERPETUALANG KE ACEH seterusnya Dayah / Pesantren / Sekolah pondok Tanoh Abee... dan perpustakaan lebih 300 kitab lama! di blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU.
Afterwards only did I learned here is the location of the original Dayah (Aceh word for religious school or institution) of Tanoh Abee. For your knowledge the Dayah of Tanoh Abee is very famous in Aceh because its old library contains more than 300 copies of priceless old books. It was founded by a religious master who came from Baghdad 400 years ago. Look at the article On to Tanoh Abee... so what exists over there? in BERPETUALANG KE ACEH followed by Dayah / Pesantren /Sekolah pondok Tanoh Abee... dan perpustakaan lebih 300 kitab lama! in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU.
Kawasan pemakaman (Burial area for) Panglima Polem
OK. I have started a new series in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU, about my third trip to Aceh end of 2010. For information I have gone there 4 times. So let the writing of supporting articles here begin.
Ini adalah kawasan tanah perkuburan Panglima Polim, juga dieja Polem.
This is the burial ground for Panglima Polim, also spelt Polem.
Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Paya Redan, Pagoh
While going around Pagoh, Muar, I saw these two mosques.
Serambi belakang...
The rear verandah...
Masjid (Mosque of) Abu Hurairah, Kampung Batu
This is a mosque which exist at the end of the street called Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.
Namanya Masjid Abu Hurairah dan ia digunakan oleh penduduk Kampung Batu.
Its name is Masjid (Mosque of) Abu Hurairah and it is used by the people of Kampung Batu.
Bentuk menaranya mengingatkan saya pada kapal angkasa yang mendarat di bulan...
Its tower reminds me of the space ship which landed on the moon...
