Seterusnya kami ke Pulau Melaka di mana terdapat masjid ini.
Next we went to Pulau Melaka where lies this mosque.

Ia dikenali sebagai Masjid Tok Guru kerana terletak di belakang rumah Menteri Besar Kelantan, Tuan Guru Nik Aziz.
It is known as Masjid (mosque) of Tok Guru because it is located behind the house of Kelantan chief minister Tuan Guru Nik Aziz (Tuan Guru is a call of respect which literally means master teacher).

Difahamkan Tuan Guru Nik Aziz selalu mengajar dan memberi syarahan di dalam masjid. Beliau dianggap sebagai Tok Guru oleh ramai orang.
It is understood Tuan Guru Nik Aziz ofter teaches and gives lectures inside the mosque. He is considered as a Tok Guru to a lot of people (tok is a call of respect for elders and guru means teacher, something like a grandmaster...).

Mari lihat ke dalam.
Let us look inside.
