Al-Rasyid's visit to the tomb of Tok Tenang

Going to Johor. You could say this is the continuation to the article Muar river at Kuala Pilah.


After Kuala Pilah we went to Bahau then the Felda settlement of Jelai to spend the night. The following day Saturday 17th September 2011 we attended a function in Segamat and afterwards decided to go to Kampung Tenang in Labis where lies the tomb of a prominent person called Tok Tenang.



For the record Tok Tenang opened the surrounding village in 1806 AD or so. He is said to be a master scholar of saintly status, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad SAW and a royalty. It is the first time I brought the wife and our 23 month old boy Al-Rasyid here.




A friend Azuan or Engku Azuan, a native of Segamat first showed me this tomb early 2008.



Rasyid seemed to enjoy his foray here as he went around the graves of Tok Tenang's family and descendants.
