Bersambung kembali ke tempat-tempat yang dilawati dalam perjalanan ke utara bulan Ramadhan tahun 2010.
Continuing back to the places visited in the trip to the north during the month of Ramadhan (Muslim fasting month) in the year 2010.

Pagi Isnin 30 Ogos 2010 kami pergi bersolat Subuh di Masjid Albukhary di Alor Setar.
Monday morning 30th August 2010 we went to do our Subuh (early morning) prayers at the Albukhary mosque in Alor Setar.

Walaupun saya sendiri sudah lalu di hadapan masjid beberapa kali rasanya inilah kali pertama kami singgah masuk ke dalam.

Although I myself have passed in front of this mosque many times I think this is the first time we stopped by and went inside.

Beginilah rupa Masjid Albukhary Alor Setar dari luar. Lihat juga Masjid Albukhary (The Albukhary mosque), Kuala Lumpur... yang dibina oleh orang yang sama, hartawan Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary.
