Visiting tomb of Tok Selehor

Peace be upon you all. On 30th August me and a friend along with his sons made a trip to the East Coast and went around until 5th September. As always there were interesting places visited. Stories need to be shared and for this blogspot let's start with this one.


 
Lodging at a religious school in Tumpat, Kelantan to take some lessons along with a number of Malay activists friends we also took time to visit nearby places. Wednesday morning 31st August 2016, the 2nd day of the trip, while most of the nation was busy celebrating the Malaysian National Day we went out to another religious school known as Pondok (hut of) Tok Selehor.








We wanted to visit the tomb of Tok Selehor and a certain special place.


For the record Tok Selehor was a famous Kelantan religious master of saintly status.












His tomb...








Then there is this special place where he used to conduct spiritual training for himself and students.


It is a grave hole dug 6 foot under.


Surrounded by actual graves at all sides the hole is said to have been designed for initiates, even masters to get a glimpse of the hereafter...
