Makam (Tomb of) Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro

Masuk hari ke-9 perjalanan di Makassar dan Tanah Bugis 3-12 Mei.

Entering the 9th day of the trip to Makassar and Bugis land 3-12 May.

Pagi Sabtu 11 Mei 2013. Selepas bermalam di kota Sengkang kami masuk ke desa Tosora di mana terdapat sejumlah peninggalan lama.

Saturday morning 11 May 2013. After spending the night at the town of Sengkang we entered the village of Tosora where lies a number of old remains.

Antaranya adalah makam Sheikh Jamaluddin Al-Akbar juga dikenali sebagai Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro.

Among it is the tomb Sheikh Jamaluddin Al-Akbar also known as Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro.

Beliau adalah seorang pendakwah besar bertaraf wali berketurunan Nabi Muhammad SAW. Untuk pengetahuan ramai keturunan beliau menjadi para pendakwah besar bertaraf wali, juga raja-raja. Antaranya adalah para Wali Songo yang sangat terkenal di Pulau Jawa juga raja-raja Islam yang pernah memerintah Champa dan Patani dan raja-raja yang masih memerintah Kelantan.

He was a major religious preacher of saintly status descended from Prophet Muhammad SAW. For information many of his descendants became major religious preachers of saintly status, also rulers. Among it are the Wali Songo (the nine saints) which are very famous in the island of Jawa also Muslim rulers who have ruled Champa and Patani and rulers who still ruled Kelantan.

Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro telah mengembara ke merata Alam Melayu demi menyebarkan Islam sebelum meninggal dunia di Sulawesi Selatan. Peliknya orang sini kurang mengenali peranan beliau. Di Tanah Bugis, Sayyid Jamaluddin dianggap datang awal abad ke-17 sedangkan beliau diketahui sudah aktif berdakwah di tempat lain sejak pertengahan abad ke-14 lagi.

Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro have travelled all over the Malay World to spread the message Islam before passing away in Sulawesi Selatan (South Celebes). Strangely the people here hardly knew his role. In the Bugis land, Sayyid Jamaluddin Kubro is considered to have arrived in early 17th century while he is known to have been active preaching at other places since the middle of the 14th century.
