Peace be upon you on this blessed day, Friday. On to the 6th day of the Aceh trip 23-30 Mac.
Friday 26th March 2014. A special phase of the trip has started.
We were in Geudong, site of the centre of the olden kingdom of Samudera-Pasai and 16 Malaysians, friends and family members joined us there.
One arrived via Medan while 15 arrived at Banda Aceh on Thursday afternoon. They headed for Lhokseumawe to spend the night. In the morning they joined me and family visiting the tomb of Sultan Malikus Saleh, founder of the kingdom of Samudera-Pasai. Look at the article Ziarah rombongan Malaysia ke makam Sultan Malikus Saleh in the blogspot Himpunan Kedaulatan Melayu Islam Akhir Zaman (HIKMAH).
From the tomb of Malikus Saleh we went to the tomb of Sultanah Nahrisyah, a descendant of his who ruled the kingdom of Pasai in the 1400s.
This is her tomb.
Besides it is her father's if I'm not mistaken.
But we were told Sultanah Nahrisyah's actual tomb is this one.
The grand marble tomb besides is actually a later addition brought as present from the Delhi Sultanate in India.
A local researcher explaining history of Sultanah Nahrisyah and kingdom of Pasai.
For the record the group came to Aceh to join an event conducted under the name of HIKMAH, an NGO founded by yours truly just a year and a half ago.
