Makam (Tomb of) Tuan Hussin Kedah


Di belakang masjid terdapat tanah perkuburan. Sebenarnya kedudukannya ke hadapan lagi daripada mihrab, tetapi boleh dikira belakang jika dilihat dari pintu masuk kawasan masjid...

Behind the mosque there is a burial ground. Actually its position is more to the front of the mihrab (the front-most section of the mosque), but it could be considered to be behind when seen from the door to the mosque compond.

Boleh kelihatan terus makam Tuan Hussin Kedah, orang yang namanya diabadikan pada masjid...
You could directly see the tomb of Tuan Hussin Kedah, the person whose name is immortalised with the mosque...

Hidup pertengahan abad ke 19 hingga awal abad ke 20 Masihi beliau adalah seorang ulamak besar Kedah yang berketurunan Banjar dari Kalimantan. Oleh kerana lahir di Kedah dan banyak mengajar di negeri itu beliau dikenali sebagai Tuan Hussin Kedah selain Tuan Hussin Al-Banjari.
Living in the middle of the 19th century till early 20th century AD he is a major religious master of Kedah who is descended from the Banjars of Kalimantan. As he was born in Kedah and spent most of his time teaching in this state he is known as Tuan Hussin Kedah apart from Tuan Hussin Al-Banjari.
