Just now suddenly I was thinking about Tok Tenang, a religious personality who was rather famous around Segamat, Johor in the 19th century AD and found out that I have never made an article on him here. Thus let the relevant content from the article From Segamat to Muar, a stop around the village of Tenang which was written in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH more than 3 years ago be taken and added with what is necessary to create this new article. Come. :]
Kira-kira 20 km ke tenggara bandar Segamat, masih di dalam daerah Segamat terdapat sebuah kampung dipanggil Kampung Tenang. Jangan disamakan dengan sebuah tempat bernama Tenang yang terdapat di laluan dari Segamat ke Labis. Untuk sampai ke Kampung Tenang, seseorang harus ke Labis kemudian mengambil jalan kecil ke timur menghala ke pergunungan. Di situ terdapat satu tanah perkuburan Islam di mana terletaknya makam Tok Tenang.
Some 20km south-east of the town of Segamat, still within the Segamat district lies a village called Kampung Tenang. Don't mistake this with a place named Tenang which lies on the route from Segamat to Labis. To reach the Kampung Tenang, one have to go to Labis and then take the small road east heading for the mountains. Here exists a Muslim cemetery where lies the tomb of Tok Tenang.
Penduduk tempatan menceritakan bahawa Tok Tenang ini bertaraf wali. Ada yang menambah beliau adalah seorang kerabat diraja dan berketurunan Nabi Muhammad SAW.
Locals tell stories about this Tok Tenang being of saintly status. There were those who added he is a member of royalty and descended from the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Maklumat pada makam menyebut nama sebenarnya sebagai Ariffin, meninggal dunia tahun 1274 Hijrah (bersamaan sekitar 1859 Masihi). Turut disebut beliau membuka Kampung Tenang pada 22 Ramadhan 1221 Hijrah (bersamaan sekitar 1806 Masihi).
Information on the tomb says his real name is Ariffin, passed away in the year 1275 Hijriah (equivalent to around 1859 AD). Also mentioned he opened up Kampung Tenang on 22nd of Ramadhan 1221 Hijriah (equivalent to around 1806 AD).
