Tanah perkuburan Islam (Muslim burial ground of) Papan, Perak

Salam semua. Ada sedikit perkongsian daripada persinggahan di Perak kurang 3 minggu lalu.

Peace be upon you all. There is a bit sharing from a stop in Perak less than 3 weeks ago.

Petang Selasa 1 September 2020. Dalam perjalanan dari utara kembali ke rumah kami telah singgah di pekan Papan dekat Ipoh lalu ke tanah perkuburan Islam ini.

Tuesday afternoon 1st September 2020. On the way from the north to return home we stopped by the small town of Papan near Ipoh and went to this Muslim burial ground.

Kedudukannya agak tersorok. Ia menempatkan jasad sejumlah penduduk Papan sejak ia menjadi satu pusat penting perlombongan bijih timah sekitar seabad lalu.

Its location is rather obscure. It houses the remains of a number of the people of Papan since it was an important centre of tin mining around a century ago.

Namun setelah beberapa dekad perlombongan bijih timah tidak lagi penting lalu Papan terkesan.

However after a few decades tin mining was no more important and Papan was affected.

Penduduk berpindah ke tempat-tempat lain lalu tanah perkuburan ini tidak lagi digunakan...

The populace migrated to other places and thus this burial ground is no more in use...
