Menyambung cerita dari perjalanan ke Perak yang dibuat seminggu lalu.
Continuing the stories from the trip to Perak made a week ago.
Pagi Sabtu kami ke satu tempat bernama Karai lalu melawat makam ini.
Saturday morning we went to an area called of Karai to visit this tomb.
Saya diberitahu ia milik seorang yang dikenali sebagai Tok Karai.
I was told it belongs to a person who was known as Tok Karai.
Katanya Tok Karai adalah seorang wanita. It is said that Tok Karai was a lady.
Makamnya adalah paling terserlah di sekitar ini dan dianggap istimewa.
Her tomb is the most outstanding here and is considered special.
Nota (dibuat pada 28 Julai 2022) : Baru beberapa hari dapat tahu Tok Karai adalah seorang laki-laki bernama Wan Zahari. Beliau yang hidup lebih 100 tahun lalu berketurunan Maharajalela Pancung Tak Bertanya pertama Daeng Selili campur Perdana Menteri Kedah Wan Mat Saman.
Note (made on 28th July 2022) : Just got to know a few days ago day Tok Karai was actually a man named Wan Zahari. He who lived more than 100 years ago was a descendant of Maharajalela Pancung Tak Bertanya pertama Daeng Selili plus Perdana Menteri Kedah Wan Mat Saman.
"There was born in the district of Temerloh Pahang, a man of mixed Indian descent, Haji Abubakar son of Haji Abdul Karim, a grandson of Tambi Badoh (whose sacred grave is at Pulau Malang). He acquired much religious knowledge by study, mainly in dreams. All his words came true and despite his protests folk began to make supplications and fulfil vows to him as a living saint. He was master of a charm (petunang belit) that could send a bullet to its mark, though that mark were invisible and the gun pointed in another direction. He was as strong as seven elephants. His profession was that of a boat builder. He died in 1891 A.D. at age of 120 and his grave at Kampong Karai is sacred."

ReplyDeleteSaya aripin said waris keturunana tok karai. Aripin bisaid bin leho bil bidin bin tok jebek bin tok karai atau abdul jabar
ReplyDeleteBaru tergerak nak tengok sini, setelah melihat video persembahan Dato' Aripin Said dalam majlis Temasya Sastera Rakyat di ISTAC baru ini. Lalu teringat beliau pernah membentang tentang Tok Jebek di Wisma Sejarah. Google nama Tok Jebek nampak cerita ada menyebut datuknya digelar sebagai Tok Karai. Pun begitu, itu adalah Tok Karai di Kampung Bohor, Pahang. Yang dalam artikel ini lain. Ia merujuk kepada Tok Karai di pekan Karai, dekat Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Harap maklum.
