Continued from Pondok tradisional Arab (Arab traditional hut).

Hampir tengah hari saya dan isteri berjalan kaki lebih 1 km untuk melihat masjid ini.

Close to the afternoon me and wife walked more than 1 km to look at this mosque.

Turut bersama adalah seorang kawan dan anaknya.

Also with us is a friend and her son.

Masjid ini dipanggil Masjid Ijabah.

This mosque is called Masjid (mosque of) Ijabah.

Menurut ceritanya di sini Nabi Muhammad SAW pernah meminta 3 doa yang sangat bermakna buat umatnya. Imam Muslim meriwayatkan Rasulullah bersabda : "Aku meminta kepada Tuhanku tiga hal, Ia memberiku dua hal dan menolak satu hal. Aku meminta kepada Tuhanku agar tidak membinasakan umatku dengan kelaparan, Ia mengabulkannya. Aku meminta kepada-Nya agar tidak membinasakan umatku dengan banjir besar, maka Dia mengabulkannya. Aku meminta kepada-Nya agar tidak dijadikan petaka umatku karena perselisihan sesama mereka, Dia menolaknya." Untuk makluman ini adalah artikel ke 1,155 di blogspot ini.

According to the stories it is here that the Prophet Muhammad SAW once prayed for 3 things of much significance for his people. Imam Muslim (the scholar) narrated the Messenger as saying : " I asked my God three things,, He granted to me two and rejected one. I asked my God not to destroy my people with starvation, He granted it. I asked to Him not to destroy my people with big flood, He (also) granted it. (Then) I asked Him not to make calamity because of dispute among them, He rejected." For information this is the 1,155th article in this blogspot.

Pondok tradisional Arab (Arab traditional hut)

Pagi Jumaat 5 April 2013. Saya dan isteri mengikut rombongan kami ke sebuah ladang kurma (lihat artikel The date plantation of Bani Hashim di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH) lalu terlihat pondok ini.

Friday morning 5th April 2013. Me and wife followed our group to a date plantation (look at the article The date plantation of Bani Hashim in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH) and saw this hut.

Ia adalah pondok tradisional Arab yang dibuat cara lama. Bahan-bahan pembinaan untuk dinding dan bumbung semuanya diambil dari pohon kurma.

It is a traditional Arab hut made using the old way. Building materials for the walls and roof were all taken from date trees.

Continued from Masjid kecil di (Small mosque at) Bir Othman.

Selepas solat Asar di Masjid Nabawi (rujuk Masjid (Mosque of) Nabawi) saya mengajak isteri berjalan-jalan melihat beberapa buah masjid berdekatan. Selepas Masjid Ali (rujuk Masjid (Mosque of) Saidina Ali) dan Masjid Abu Bakar (rujuk Masjid (Mosque of) Saidina Abu Bakar) kami lalu di Masjid Ghamama (rujuk  Masjid (Mosque of) Ghamama) . 

After the Asar (late afternoon prayer) at Masjid Nabawi (refer Masjid (Mosque of) Nabawi) I asked the wife to go for a walk looking at a number of nearby mosque. After Masjid Ali (refer Masjid (Mosque of) Saidina Ali) and Masjid Abu Bakar (refer Masjid (Mosque of) Saidina Abu Bakar) we passed beside Masjid Ghamama (refer Masjid (Mosque of) Ghamama).

Lampu-lampu yang menyala membuat kami ingin melihat lebih dekat.

The lights which were on made us want to have a closer look.

Ah. Ia dibuka. Ketika saya datang siang hari sebelumnya ia ditutup.

Ah. It is opened. When I arrived in daylight the previous day it was closed.

Kami pun melihat ke dalam...

We then went to look inside...

Masjid kecil di (Small mosque at) Bir Othman

Bersambung dari Masjid (Mosque of) Qiblatain.

Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Qiblatain.

Sekitar 450  meter dari Masjid Qiblatain terdapat masjid kecil ini.

About 450 metres from Qiblatain mosque there exists this small mosque.

Letaknya di dalam kawasan yang bernama Bir Othman. 

It is situated inside an area called Bir Othman. 

Saya diberitahu di sekitar ini pernah wujud telaga yang digali oleh Saidina Uthman al-Affan, khalifah ketiga Islam. Sebab itu kawasan dipanggil Bir Othman.

I was told around here there used to exist a well dug by Saidina Uthman al-Affan, the third caliph of Islam. That's why the area is called Bir Othman.

Masjid (Mosque of) Qiblatain

Bersambung dari Makam Saidina Hamzah dan para syuhada Uhud (Tomb of Saidina Hamzah and the martyrs of Uhud).

Continued from Makam Saidina Hamzah dan para syuhada Uhud (Tomb of Saidina Hamzah and the martyrs of Uhud).

Ini pula adalah Masjid Qiblatain.

This in turn is Masjid (mosque) Qiblatain.

Qiblatain bermaksud 2 kiblat.

Qiblatain means 2 qiblat (direction of prayers).

Ia dipanggil begitu kerana pernah terjadi Nabi Muhammad SAW memimpin solat menghadap ke satu arah  di barat-laut kemudian berpusing hampir 150 darjah bertukar arah menghadap ke selatan.

It is called thus because it happened once that the Prophet Muhammad SAW led a prayer facing a direction to the north-west and then turned almost 150 degrees changing direction facing to the south.

Pada awalnya umat Islam bersolat menghadap Baitul Maqdis di Jerusalem. Ketika bersolat itulah Nabi Muhammad SAW menerima wahyu yang memerintah agar mengubah kiblat menghadap ke Mekah.

At first the Muslim people prayed facing the Baitul Maqdis (the site where used to lie the temple of Solomon) in Jerusalem. While doing that prayer the Prophet Muhammad SAW received revelation commanding him to change the prayer direction to Mecca.

Inilah mihrab yang menandakan kiblat sekarang. Dahulu, mihrab lama menghadap Jerusalem turut wujud dalam masjid tetapi ia telah dibuang selepas satu kerja penambahbaikan.

This is it the mihrab (front-most section) which marks the current qiblat (direction of prayer). Before, the old mihrab facing Jerusalem also exists but it was removed after a renovation work.

Continued from Tapak perang Uhud (Site of the battle of Uhud).

Terserlah di Uhud adalah kawasan bertembok yang mengandungi sejumlah tentera Islam yang gugur semasa Perang Uhud.

Outstanding in Uhud is a walled area containing a number of Muslims soldiers who fell down during the battle of Uhud.

Dari hadapan susah untuk melihat ke dalam.

From the front it is hard to look inside.

Namun saya ditunjukkan bahagian di mana kita boleh melihat jelas dari jauh...

Still I was shown parts where we can have clear looks from afar...

Saya diberitahu yang ini adalah makam Saidina Hamzah, bapa saudara Nabi.

I was told this is the tomb of Saidina Hamzah, uncle to the Prophet (Muhammad SAW).

Beliau adalah seorang pejuang yang sangat disegani dan ditakuti tetapi akhirnya gugur akibat balingan tombak curi-curi.

He was a fighter who was much respected and feared but at last fell down after a throw of spear made in a stealthy manner.

Terserlah juga adalah sebuah kawasan menandakan wujudnya kubur sejumlah syuhada.

Also outstanding is an area marking the existence of a number of graves of the martyrs.

Sebenarnya terdapat banyak lagi kubur syuhada di sekeliling tetapi tidak  bertanda.
Actually there exists graves of many more martyrs around but they are not marked.

Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Quba.

Seterusnya kami pergi ke tempat bernama Uhud di mana terdapat satu banjaran bukit besar yang dipanggil Jabal Uhud.

Next we went to a place called Uhud where lies a big hill range called Jabal (hill of) Uhud.

Ia adalah tapak perang Uhud, perang kedua dalam sejarah Islam melawan pihak kafir Quraish dari Mekah.

It is the site of the battle of Uhud, the second battle in Islam fighting the party of unbelieving Quraish (a famous tribe) from Mecca.

Di tapak peperangan terdapat makam sejumlah pejuang Islam yang mati syahid, dalam kawasan bertembok.

At the battle site there lies the tombs of a number of Muslim fighters who died martyred, within a walled area.

Lagi ke selatan terdapat bukit kecil tempat pemanah Islam pernah ditempatkan. Lihat artikel Views from the archer's hill at Uhud di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH..

Further to the south there is a small hill where Muslim archers were placed. Look at the article Views from the archer's hill at Uhud in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH.

Masjid (Mosque of) Quba

Masuk hari ke-2 di Madinah...

Entering the 2nd day in Madinah...

Khamis 4 April 2013. Kami keluar dari hotel menaiki bas untuk sesi ziarah ke beberapa tempat di sekeliling Madinah bermula dengan Masjid Quba.

Thursday 4th April 2013. We went out from the hotel riding a bus for a visit session to a number of places around Madinah starting with Masjid (mosque of) Quba.

Ia adalah masjid pertama didirikan dalam sejarah Islam, sebaik sahaja Nabi Muhammad SAW sampai ke Madinah dalam peristiwa Hijrah.

It is the first mosque built in the history of Islam, right after Prophet Muhammad SAW reached Medina in the event called the Hijrah (migration from Mecca to Medina).

Maka itu ia juga adalah masjid tertua di dunia...

Thus it is also the oldest mosque in the world...
