Pulau Penyengat ni hanya terletak lebih kurang 6 km sahaja dari Tanjung Pinang dan kami menaiki bot kat Dermaga ke Pulau Penyengat dekat Jeti Tg Pinang untuk ke sana dengan perjalanan yang mengambil masa lebih kurang 10 minit sahaja.. Pulau Penyengat ini merupakan petempatan keturunan pahlawan bugis yang terkenal iaitu Raja Haji sangat terkenal pada kurun ke 18 di Kepulauan Riau.. Sebelum ini, pulau kecil ini telah melahirkan seorang penyair gurindam yang terkenal iaitu Raja Ali Haji yang masyhur dengan 'Gurindam Dua Belas' nya.. gurindam ini selesai ditulis oleh Raja Ali Haji pada 23 Rejab 1263 Hijrah atau tahun 1846 Masihi.. ia merupakan karya yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai puisi yang bernas kerana intipatinya diserikan dengan nasihat dan petunjuk tentang kehidupan yang diredhai oleh Allah dengan bersandarkan tasawuf..
Pulau Penyengat ini merupakan pusat ajaran Islam di Riau yang telah diusahakan oleh Raja Ali.. Beliau merupakan pengikut ajaran islam yang sangat kuat pegangannya di mana beliau melarang dengan keras aktiviti perjudian, pergaulan bebas kaum lelaki dan wanita serta pelbagai lagi larangan agama Islam... suatu ketika dahulu, dengan populasi 9,000 penduduk, Pulau Penyengat sering didatangi oleh penuntut ajaran islam yang datang dari pelbagai negara.. Sehingga kini dari 2,500 penduduk Pulau Penyengat, 99% beragama Islam dan 1 per 3 dari mereka adalah keturunan diraja Pulau Penyengat dan aktiviti ekonomi mereka adalah menangkap ikan dan sebahagian mencari rezeki di Tanah Besar di Tanjung Pinang..
Menurut fakta sejarah, sejarah Kesultanan Melayu di Pulau Penyengat menemui penghujungnya apabila sultan terakhir Riau - Lingga, Sultan Abdul Rahman Muazzan Shah enggan menandatangani kontrak dengan Belanda untuk menamatkan hak dan kuasa Sultan dan Pembesar Riau.. Kemudian, Belanda memaklumkan baginda bahawa istana dan pelbagai harta baginda dirampas.. untuk menyelar tindakan Belanda, baginda memerintahkan rakyat Penyengat untuk memusnahkan harta Belanda di Pulau tersebut..
Biarpun saiz Pulau ini yang sangat kecil, Pulau Penyengat tetap menjadi tumpuan kerana kesan sejarahnya yang penuh dengan kebudayaan melayu.. kitorang sempat singgah di beberapa tempat yang menarik di pulau kecil ini di antaranya Kompleks Makam yang menempatkan Makam Raja Ali Haji, Mesjid Raya Sultan Riau, Balai Adat Melayu Indera Perkasa dan Gedung Mesiu (Tempat Meriam)..

Eksplorasi Jejak Warisan Melayu - Tg Pinang, Pulau Bintan - Pt 1
|
|
Sempena cuti keputeraan agong hari tu, kitorang sekeluarga berpeluang menjejakkan kaki ke Tanjung Pinang, tempat warisan bangsa melayu.. mula-mula sampai sana mmg agak tak expect yang orang2 sana bercakap lebih kurang kita dan bukan bahasa indonesia.. mmg derang cakap melayu..
Sebenarnya kitorang ikut rombongan kawan-kawan masjid ayah yang ingin merapatkan hubungan masjid dengan masyarakat kat Tg Pinang. Since dapat peluang pegi berjalan, aku pon ikut je la.. boleh tgk jejak warisan bangsa melayu kita.. rasa bangga jugak la jadi orang melayu sebenarnya..
Untuk ke Tg Pinang, kitorang naik feri kat The Zone Ferry Terminal... kitorang nye feri bertolak kul 10 pagi... Sepanjang perjalanan tuh kitorang naik kat bahagian atas untuk menikmati permandangan perairan Johor-Singapore-Riau.. Kitorang dapat tgk kawasan Permas, Pasir Gudang dan Singapore. Masa lalu kat area Permas - Pasir Gudang, feri tuh jalan laju jugak la.. tapi bile masuk Singapore di slow down sikit.. katanya kat Singapore ada speed limit.. macam kat jalan raya la pulak kan.. hehe.. Perjalanan kitorang amik masa lebih kurang 2 jam setengah, so kitorang sampai kat Tanjung Pinang dalam kul 12.30 waktu Malaysia atau 11.30 WIB (Waktu Indonesia Barat).
Sampai2 sana, jawatankuasa masjid kat sana fetch kitorang dan bawak kitorang check in kat Sampoerna Jaya Hotel.. lepas lunch kitorang rehat jap kat bilik before pegi ke destinasi seterusnya Pulau Penyengat.. anyways, kat bawah ni, aku dah summarize sket2 pasal history Pulau Bintan dan Tanjung Pinang... 
-------------------------------------------------
Pulau Bintan merupakan pulau terbesar di kalangan 3,200 pulau yang berada di Gugusan Riau dengan populasi seramai 200,000 orang penduduk yang merangkumi Melayu, Bugis, Cina & Orang Laut. Sejak tahun 1945, Pulau Bintan ini telah menjadi sebahagian daripada Kepulauan Riau di bawah pemerintahan Republik Indonesia.
Pulau Bintan ini amat sinonim dengan pelbagai catatan sejarah yang melibatkan bangsa Melayu di mana suatu ketika dahulu ia pernah menjadi sebahagian daripada Jajahan Kesultanan Melayu Melaka semasa pemerintahan Sultan Mansur Shah (1459-1466). Ia menjadi popular secara politik apabila Sultan Melaka, Sultan Mahmud Shah telah melarikan diri ke Bintan pada tahun 1521 selepas kejatuhan melaka di tangan Portugis pada tahun 1511. Baginda mangkat di Sumatera pada tahun 1528 dan anakanda baginda, Sultan Alauddin telah berpindah ke Johor bagi meneruskan perjuangan bangsa melayu.
Suatu ketika dahulu, Bintan merupakan pusat kepada Kesultanan Melayu Johor, yang telah membina kekuatan politik dan budaya pada kurun ke 17 dan 18. Pulau ini memainkan peranan penting dalam adat dan budaya Melayu. Bintan juga pernah terlibat dengan pelbagai peristiwa sejarah, di antaranya Perang Segitiga antara Johor, Portugis dan Acheh.
Pada abad ke 18, Kesultanan Melayu Johor menghadapi krisis politik dan pemerintahan Bintan telah jatuh ke tangan Bugis. Semasa pemerintahan Bugis, Bintan telah menjadi pusat perdangangan yang kuat di mana ia telah menarik pedagang dari Barat, China dan India. Bintan juga telah melahirkan pahlawan Bugis yang terkenal iaitu Raja Haji. Beliau telah membina sebuah kubu di Pulau Penyengat yang menjadi pusat pertahanan Bintan. Beliau berjaya mengawal tempat tersebut sehingga beliau terkorban dalam pertempuran dengan Belanda di Melaka pada tahun 1784. Beliau disemadikan di Pulau Penyengat. Sultan Johor, Sultan Mahmud merupakan menantu beliau telah menghadiahkan Pulau Penyengat kepada isterinya Raja Hamidah yang juga anak kepada Raja Haji.
Anak Raja Hamidah telah memerintah Kepulauan Riau dari Pulau Penyengat dan saudara tiri Raja Hamidah memerintah Lingga ke selatan. Stanford Raffles telah mengambil kesempatan dari Putera Penyengat pada tahun 1819 di mana baginda telah menyerahkan Singapura kepada beliau sebagai ganti kepada jumlah wang yang besar dan perlindungan daripada kerajaaan British.
Pada masa ini, Tanjung Pinang, pekan kecil yang sibuk ini merupakan pusat pemerintahan bagi Pulau Bintan. Ia merupakan pusat tumpuan pengunjung yang datang dari negara jiran iaitu Malaysia dan Singapura. Pengunjung dari Malaysia yang ingin bertandang ke Tanjung Pinang boleh menaiki feri dari The Zone Ferry Terminal di Johor dan perjalanan mengambil masa dalam 2-3 jam.

I miss the holy lands
|
 |
|
We were at Jabal Thur during the external visit
|
|
|
Owh, i miss the holy lands.. so much! especially when my work is pressing me tight to the wall.. am afraid that it might get a liltle too demanding.. that it almost ate all of my ME time.. my job is keeping me too occupied, that am afraid i might neglect the time to fulfill my duty as HIS servant.. am afraid that i might go far astray.. help me GOD.. loosen the tightness of my job.. bestow me the blessing and help me to re-unite with the peace i met in the holy lands..
and i'Allah, someday i'll bring myself back to the holy lands again..

Alhamdulillah..
There's no greater joy to be selected by the Almighty for this years pilgrimage.. Definitely this is the greatest & sweetest moment of my life.. who knows after being tested with few obstacles, alhamdulillah, Allah grant us the opportunity to perform our hajj during Haji Akbar.. Allahu Akbar.. There's no word to describe our feelings.. we are truely contented & overwhelmed.. i hope our submission are accepted by HIM and remain mabrur forever.. amiin..
Anyways, our plane to Jeddah took off on 15th Dec 2006 from the Senai International Airport... from Jeddah, we rode a bus heading to Makkah.. we stayed for almost 40 days in Makkah at Marwah Al-Naqa Hotel, which is about 500m to Masjidil Haram..
After two weeks in Makkah, we went to Arafah for Wukuf, Muzdalifah for mabit and Mina for Stoning of the Jamarat.. everything went well.. despite the big crowd at Masjidil Haram, alhamdulillah, we did managed to perform our tawaf & sa'ie on 11th dhul-hijjah, we walked back to Makkah from the jamarat and then went back again to Mina before dawn.. that left us with another two days of stoning activities and on 13th dhul-hijjah all of us went back to Makkah after we did our stoning right after subuh prayer.. the traffic from Mina to Makkah was quite heavy and it took us couples of hrs to reach our hotel, eventhough the journey would only take us 1 hr if we travel by foot.. no matter what, we are happy that everything went well..
In Madinah, we stayed at Al-Haram Hotel for 8 days, 50m to Masjidil Nabawi.. got the opportunity to visit raudhah and the maqam of rasulullah SAW & his sahabats cum fathers in-law, Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq & Saidina Umar Al-Khatab..
After 8 days spent in Madinah, we did our ziarah wada and left Madinah for Msia at Madinah Airport.. the journey was on the 10th Muharam and we touched down in Senai a couple hours before Subuh prayer.. Alhamdulillah, our manasik went well and it was indeed a great journey that shall be remembered our whole lives..
