These are pictures of the old wooden mosque at Kampung Sungai Cincin (sometimes spelt Chinchin) in the area of Gombak, Selangor.

Please have a look at the old article Masjid (mosque of) Sungai Cincin dan (and) Sheikh Muhammad Nur . That's all...

Masjid (mosque of) Tengku Abu Bakar, Raub

Sekarang saya mahu mengenengahkan masjid ini pula...
Now I want to feature this mosque in turn...

Masjid Tengku Abu Bakar adalah masjid utama di Raub, Pahang sebelum masjid jamek baru siap dibina beberapa tahun lalu.

The Tengku Abu Bakar mosque is the main mosque in Raub, Pahang before a new main mosque was completed a few years ago.

Terletak di tepian jalan utama tengah bandar yang menjadi laluan dari Kuala Lumpur ke Kelantan, ia sering dijadikan tempat persinggahan mereka yang berjalan jauh untuk bersolat dan berehat.

Located besides the main road in the middle of town which is the main route from Kuala Lumpur to Kelantan, it is often made a stopping place for those travelling long distance to conduct their prayers and rest.

Mari masuk ke dalam!
Come let's go inside!

Sebelum itu elok mengambil wudhuk.

But first its good to make ablution.

The back inner section...

Sisi kiri. Cukuplah...
