Merujuk pada artikel Tanah perkuburan (Burial ground of) Baqi'. Selepas solat Asar saya lalu di tepi pintu utama masuk ke tanah perkuburan itu lalu mendapati ia dibuka kepada umum. Saya pun masuk mengikut orang ramai.

Referring to the article Tanah perkuburan (Burial ground of) Baqi'. After the Asar (late afternoon) prayer I passed by the main entrance to that burial ground and found it open to the public. So I entered following the crowd.

Ada bahagian tertentu yang ingin dituju. Tetapi orang ramai cuma dibenarkan melihat dari jauh.

There is a certain section I want to aim for. But the crowd is only allowed to look from afar.

Di bahagian yang terlindung oleh tembok separuh bulat itu bersemadi jasad sejumlah manusia yang memiliki pertalian keluarga yang rapat dengan Nabi Muhammad SAW.

At the section protected by a semi-circular wall there lies the remains of a number of people who have close family ties with Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Mereka ialah :-
They are :-

A. Imam Ja'afar As-Sadiq

B. Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir

C. Imam Ali Zainal Abidin

D. Saidina Hassan

E. Saidina Abbas ibnu Abdul Mutallib

F. Fatimah binti Assad.

Bagaimanakah hubungan mereka dengan Nabi? Biar saya mulakan dengan D kerana memang tumpuan utama saya masuk ke Baqi' adalah untuk melawat makam baginda. Saidina Hassan adalah cucu sulung Nabi, melalui perkahwinan sepupu Nabi, Saidina Ali dengan puteri Nabi, Sayiditina Fatimah. Baginda sempat menjadi khalifah Islam yang ke-5.

How is their relationshiop with the Prophet? Let me start with D as it is my main focus and intention to go to Baqi' to visit his majesty's tomb. Saidina Hassan is the eldest grandchild of the Prophet, through the marriage of the Prophet's cousin, Saidina Ali to the Prophet's daughter, Sayidtina Fatimah. His majesty had time to be the 5th caliph of Islam. F, that is Fatimah binti Assad is mother to Saidina Ali. E, Saidina Abbas is the Prophet's uncle. Saidina Hassan has a younger brother named Saidina Hussein. C, Ali Zainal Abidin is son to Saidina Hussein. B, Muhammad Al-Baqir son to C. A, Ja'afar As-Sadiq is son to B.

Masjid (mosque of) Bilal could be seen about 270 meters to the south-east of Masjid Zilnurin.

Namun laluan jalan dan penutupan beberapa bahagian akibat kerja penambaikan menyebabkan saya harus berjalan hampir 600 meter untuk sampai ke hadapan masjid.

Still the path of the road and closure of a number of sections due to renovation works caused me to walk almost 600 metres to get to the front of the mosque.

Inilah masjid yang dinamakan sempena sahabat Nabi yang terkenal Bilal bin Rabah.

This is it the mosque named after the famous companion of the Prophet (Muhammad SAW) Bilal bin Rabah.

Tetapi disebabkan laluan jalan yang banyak tertutup kerana kerja-kerja pembinaan saya harus berjalan kaki lebih 400 meter untuk sampai ke sini.

But because of many roads and routes were closed due to construction works I had to walk more than 400 metres to get here.

Syukur alhamdulillah saya tergerak untuk melihat lebih dekat walaupun kawasan sekitarnya sebenarnya ditutup, orang awam tak boleh masuk. Lalu saya mendapat tahu inilah Masjid Saidina Umar, didirikan di atas tapak kediaman khalifah kedua Islam itu. Untuk pengetahuan ini adalah artikel ke 1,144 di blogspot ini.

Thank God I was moved to have a closer look although the area around actually has been closed, the public are not allowed in. Thus I came to find out this is it the Masjid (mosque of) Saidina Umar, built on top of the dwelling site of the second caliph of Islam. For information this is the 1,144th article in this blogspot.

From the mosque of Abu Dzar I walked 1 km heading to the west then turned south following a road which runs parallel to the right side of Masjid (mosque of) Nabawi. While walking there that I saw a small garden which has its own unique history.

Ia terletak di atas tanah yang dipanggil Sokaifat Bani Saedah. Di sinilah sahabat utama Nabi iaitu Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq pertama kali dibai'at orang ramai untuk menjadi khalifah pertama Islam, sejurus selepas Nabi wafat lalu umat Islam memerlukan ketua yang baru.

It is located on a land called the Sokaifat Bani Saedah.

Imam Bukhari hidup awal abad ke 9 Masihi. Kalau tak salah masjid ini dibina di atas bekas kediaman beliau semasa di Madinah.

Masjid (Mosque of) Nabawi

Assalamualaikum. Tiga hari lalu saya telah membuat artikel bertajuk Masjid kecil antara Jeddah dan Madinah (Small mosque between Jeddah and Medina). Kiranya artikel ini bersambung penceritaan darinya...

Peace be up you all. Three days ago I have made an article called Masjid kecil antara Jeddah dan Madinah (Small mosque between Jeddah and Medina). This article could be counted as the continuation of storytelling from it.

Saya sampai ke bandar raya Madinah selepas 9 pagi Rabu 3 April. Selepas berehat sebentar di hotel saya pun berjalan kaki ke Masjid Nabawi, masjid Nabi Muhammad SAW.

I arrived at the city of Madinah after 9am Wednesday 3rd April. After resting for a while at the hotel I then walked to Masjid  (mosque of) Nabawi, the mosque of Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Masjid Nabawi adalah sangat besar. Semakan menggunakan gambar satelit dari Google Earth menunjukkan bangunannya sahaja meliputi kawasan selebar 400 meter dan sepanjang 300 meter. Bangunan terletak di dalam halaman selebar 660 meter dan sepanjang 530 meter. Nampak tak tiang-tiang dengan struktur berbentung payung sekeliling bangunan? Saya diberitahu ia dibina tahun 2010 untuk memberi perlindungan  kepada jemaah di luar dari cuaca.

Masjid Nabawi is very big. A check using satellite pictures from Google Earth showed the building alone covers an area 400 metres wide and 300 metres across. The building is located inside a compound 660 metres wide and 530 metres across. See the pillars with structures forming umbrellas around the building? I was told it was built in the year 2010 to give protection to outside congregation from the weather.

Masjid ini menghadap ke selatan di mana bangunan Ka'abah di Mekah terletak sekitar 400 km perjalanan. Saya masuk ke halaman dari pintu barat-laut lalu berjalan menghala ke selatan melepasi sisi kanan bangunan.

This mosque faces the south where the building of Ka'abah (Muslims' point of concentration during prayers) in Mecca is located around 400 km journey. I entered the compound through the north-west door walking towards the south passing the right-side of the building. 

Sampai ke satu sudut saya membelok ke timur.

Coming to a corner I turned to the east.

Masjid Nabawi memiliki banyak pintu masuk. Namun dikatakan pintu paling berkat adalah yang dipanggil pintu Babussalam.

Masjid Nabawi has many doors for entrance. Still the door said to be most blessed is the one which is called  the door of Babussalam.

Dari sini kita boleh berjalan 100 meter terus lalu keluar di pintu berseberangan, pintu di sebelah timur...

From here we could walk 100 metres straight to get out from the opposite door, a door on the eastern side...

Sambil berjalan saya memandang ke kiri.

While walking I looked to the left.

Tidak lama kemudian saya dapat melihat struktur yang dipanggil Mihrab Nabi, mihrab asal semasa Nabi Muhammad SAW masih hidup lebih 1,400 tahun lalu.

Not long after I could see the structure called the mihrab of the prophet. the original mihrab (front-most section inside a mosque) when Prophet Muhammad SAW was still alive more than 1,400 years ago.

Inilah mihrabnya. Ia terletak di dalam kawasan yang dipanggil Raudhah, katanya sebuah taman dari syurga.

This is it the mihrab. It is situated inside an area called the Raudhah, said to be a garden from paradise.

Sekitar 8 meter ke kanannya terdapat Mimbar Nabi. Perhatikan tengah gambar. Raudhah adalah kawasan antara Mimbar Nabi hingga ke Makam Nabi yang terletak sekitar 20-30 meter ke timur.

Around 8 metres to its right is the Mimbar Nabi (pulpit of the Prophet). Pay attention to the middle of the picture.Raudhah is the area between the Mimbar Nabi and the Makam Nabi (tomb of the Prophet) around 20-30 metres to the east.

 

Satu pandangan ke belakang.

A look to the rear.

Di belah belakang itu saya berdiri sebentar mengambil perspektif melihat pandangan ke hadapan.

At that rear side I stood for a while taking perspective looking at the view to the front.

Pandangan ke atas.

A look above.

Selepas itu saya harus bergerak ke kanan lagi sebelum dapat memasuki kembali kawasan hadapan masjid menghala ke timur. Kelihatan Mimbar Nabi di sebelah kiri...

After that I have to walk furthermore to the right before I could enter again the mosque' front area heading to the east. Could be seen the Mimbar Nabi to the left...

Kemudian kelihatan mihrab baru, mihrab setelah masjid dibesarkan menjadi seperti saiz sekarang. Lihat ke kanan.

Then could be seen the new mihrab (front-most section), the mihrab after the mosque has been enlarged to its present size. Look to the right.

Ke kiri kelihatan sebahagian dari Raudhah.

To the left could be seen part of the Raudhah.

Tetapi kita tidak boleh masuk ke Raudhah dari pintu-pintu hadapan kerana ia untuk orang keluar sahaja. Terlalu ramai orang ingin mengambil berkat berada di Raudhah dan mereka perlu berebut-rebut masuk dari belakang. Awal tadi saya sebenarnya bernasib baik kerana dapat menyelinap masuk terus ke sebelah Mihrab Nabi.

But we could not enter the Raudhah from the front doors as it is only for people going out. There are too many people who wants to take the blessing of being inside Raudhah and they have to struggle to get inside from the rear. Earlier before I was lucky for being able to sneak in straight to the side of the Mihrab Nabi.

Saya pun berjalan terus mengikut aliran orang ramai ke pintu timur.

I then walked straight following the flow of the crowd to the eastern door.

Kelihatanlah tiga panel tertutup di kiri...

Could be seen three closed panel to the left...

Di sebalik panel-panel ini terdapat makam Nabi Muhammad SAW diikuti makam sahabat baginda Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq (khalifah Islam pertama) dan makam Saidina Umar al-Faruq (khalifah kedua).

Behind these panels lie the tomb of Prophet Muhammad SAW followed by the tomb of his companions Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq (the first khalifah, deputy of the prophet and leader of Muslims worldwide) and tomb of Saidina Umar al-Faruq (the second khalifah).

Keluar dari pintu timur yang dipanggil pintu Baqi'.

Coming out from the eastern door which is called the door of Baqi'.

Saya ke hadapan masjid sebentar.

I went to the front of the mosque for a while.

Di bawah kubah hijau inilah terletak Makam Nabi.

It is under the green dome where lies the tomb of the Prophet.

Pandangan siri kiri Masjid Nabawi sambil saya berjalan kaki ke utara meninggalkan masjid. Cukup.

A left-side view of the Masjid (mosque of) Nabawi as I walked to the north leaving the mosque. Enough.
