Makam (Tomb of) Syarif Kedah

Dari Perak kita ke Pulau Labuan sebagai kesinambungan cerita-cerita tentang tempat-tempat di Brunei. Mari.
From Perak we go to Pulau (island of) Labuan as a continuation of the stories of places in Brunei. Come.


Walaupun Labuan terletak di dalam Malaysia, satu masa dahulu ia adalah sebahagian dari Brunei. Di Kampung Rancha Rancha, Labuan terdapat tanah perkuburan Islam ini.

Although Labuan is situated in Malaysia, once upon a time it was part of Brunei. At Kampung (village of) Rancha Rancha, Labuan there lies this Muslim burial ground.



Pada satu sudut boleh kelihatan bangunan makam yang terserlah.
At one corner could be seen an outstanding tomb building.






Inilah makam orang yang dikenali sebagai Syarif Kedah.
This is it the tomb of the person known as Syarif Kedah.



Untuk makluman beliau ialah seorang ulamak berketurunan Ahlul Bait dari Kedah yang datang ke Labuan sekitar tahun 1896. Syarif Kedah dikatakan meninggal dunia sekitar tahun 1943 pada berumur 116 tahun.
For information he is a religious master descended from the Ahlul Bait (family of Prophet Muhammad SAW) who came to Kedah around the year 1896. Syarif Kedah is said to have passed away in the year 1943 at the age of 116.

Panca Persada Beting Beras Basah?

Sekali lagi kita ke Perak. Dipersembahkan, artikel ke 444 di blogspot ini.
Again we go to Perak. Presenting, the 444th article in this blogspot.


Hari Jumaat baru ini saya telah menuju ke satu tempat bernama Beting Beras Basah lalu singgah di pondok ini.
On the recent Friday I have headed for a place called Beting Beras Basah and stopped at this hut.



Apakah Beting Beras Basah? Lihat artikel-artikel berikut yang baru dibuat di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH tadi.
What is Beting Besah? Look at the following articles which have been made in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH just now.

'Escape' from Beting Beras Basah





Menurut adat-istiadat, seorang Sultan Perak yang baru ditabalkan hendaklah menziarahi semua makam Sultan terdahulu yang ada di sepanjang tebing Sungai Perak dari hulu ke hilir lalu menjejakkan kaki di Beting Beras Basah. Kemudian baginda akan berehat di pondok yang kalau tak salah saya dipanggil Panca Persada ini sebelum semuanya dikira selesai.
According to the customs and ceremonies, a newly coronated Sultan of Perak must visit all the tombs of previous Sultans along the banks of the Perak river from upriver to downriver and then steps his foot at Beting Basah. Then his majesty would take his rest at this hut which if memory serves me right is called Panca Persada before everything is considered settled.
