Makam (Tomb of) Tuan Tabal


Di satu bahagian tanah perkuburan Banggol yang lebih terang pula terdapat makam Tuan Tabal atau nama sebenarnya Haji Abdul Somad.
At a section of the Banggol burial ground which is much clearer in turn lies the tomb of Tuan Tabal or his real name Haji Abdul Somad.



Beliau adalah seorang ulamak besar bertaraf wali yang giat mengajar agama di Kelantan dan Patani pertengahan abad ke 19 Masihi.
He is a major religious master of saintly status who was active in teaching religion in Kelantan and Patani in the middle of the 19th century AD.


Dikatakan beliau berasal dari wilayah Tabal di Patani, ke utara muara Sungai Golok (sekarang termasuk selatan Thailand lalu dipanggil Takbai).
He is said to have originated from the province of Tabal in Patani, north of the estuary of the Golok river (now included in southern Thailand and so is called Takbai).


Maka itu beliau dipanggil Tuan Tabal.
Thus that is why he is called Tuan Tabal (literally the master from Tabal).
