Akhirnya, makam Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain! (At last, the tomb of Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain!)

Lima bulan setengah lalu saya telah membuat satu artikel bertajuk Makam (tomb of) Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain. Pada artikel itu saya cuma dapat meletakkan gambar sekitar makam yang ditutupi belukar. Hujung minggu lalu baru saya dapat betul-betul menziarahinya. Alhamdulillah setelah lama menyimpan hajat sampai juga saya ke situ...
Five and a half months ago I have made an article titled Makam (tomb of) Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain. In the article I could only put a picture of the tomb's surrounding which was covered by bushes. The end of last week only did I managed to actually visit it. Thanks to Allah after long harbouring a wish I have reached the place...


Sebenarnya saya agak serik hendak ke sini lagi akibat halangan yang dihadapi seperti disebut dalam artikel Looking for the tombs of Sultan Shahabuddin and Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain... yang dibuat di blogpot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH bulan Mei.

Actually I was rather tired of coming here again due to the obstructions faced as mentioned in the article Looking for the tombs of Sultan Shahabuddin and Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain... which was made in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH in the month of May.


Tetapi selepas terbaca sebuah artikel suratkhabar yang menyebut kawasan ini sudah dibersihkan kira-kira 2 bulan saya pun mula membuat perancangan baru untuk ke sini.

But after reading a newspaper article which said that this area has been cleaned some 2 months ago I started to make new plans to come here.

Saya juga mendapat tahu ada jalan darat yang boleh digunakan untuk ke sini. Walaupun agak mencabar sekurang-kurangnya saya tidak perlu pergi jauh mencari bot seperti yang berlaku dalam lawatan terdahulu. Lihat The difficult land route to the tomb of Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain.
I also got to know there are land routes which could be used to get here. Although it is quite challenging at least I don't have to go far to search for a boat as what had happened in the previous visit. Look at The difficult land route to the tomb of Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain.


Maklumat tentang Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain yang merupakan Sultan ke 15 Perak boleh dicari di pelbagai websites. Cukuplah apa yang telah dipersembahkan ini ya! :]
Information about Sultan Iskandar Zulkarnain who was the 15th Sultan of Perak could be found in a variety of websites. So enough of what has been presented here ya! :]

Masjid (Mosque of) Kampung Rahmat, Changkat Sulaiman

Kita tinggalkan Brunei sebentar. Mari...
We leave Brunei for a little while. Come...


Pada hari Sabtu saya pergi ke Perak lalu singgah di Sungkai.

On Saturday I went to Perak and stopped at Sungkai.

Saya pergi ke Kampung Rahmat di Changkat Sulaiman dan menunaikan solat di masjidnya.
I went to Kampung (village of) Rahmat at Changkat Sulaiman and did my prayers at its mosque.



Masjid ini dirasmikan tahun 1987.
This mosque was officiated in 1987.


Namun saya diberitahu ia sudah berdiri sejak paling lambat pun awal 1970an.
Still I was told it has been in place since at the very latest early 1970s.



Saya suka melihat 2 kubahnya.
I like looking at its 2 domes.




Sekarang mari lihat ke dalam.
Now let us have a look inside.












Dewan solat.
Praying hall.







Mihrab dan mimbar...
The front-most section and pulpit...
