Make a pilgrimage to the Syiah Kuala Tomb

Hello stemians ....
On this occasion @andreanov want to discuss a little about the pilgrimage to the Syiah Kuala tomb.

It's in Po Teumeureuhom, Law in Syiah Kuala, that is the first sentence seen by every visitor when about to enter in the tomb yard of a charismatic cleric of Aceh, named Syiah Kuala.

This tomb has also been used as a religious object by the City Government of Banda Aceh. Every day hundreds of visitors always crowded the area of ​​this tomb. Whether just looking, or going to pilgrimage while reciting dhikr and praying in this meal.

In front of this building there is a pamphlet written the story and history of this tomb. Including the date of birth, death and even his position during the Work of Aceh Darussalam on the rule of the Queen. There are 4 queens of Syiah Kuala serving as Kadhi Malikul Adil at that time.

The visitor then turns back from the side of this building. There is a tub of ablution before entering the entrance in this tomb. This place of wudu man and woman are made of concrete separated by 3 boards. The first ablution site is owned by the woman and next to him belongs to the man.

This water tub in addition to wudu, pilgrims also often wash face in the hope of getting a blessing from Allah SWT. Although managers are reminded of this water is found in many other places. Even if there is healing, it is not because of water, but because Allah SWT.

"It's plain water, there are many other places, if you want to wash my face or anything, please pray to Allah, not on this water," said the tomb manager, Teuku Abdul Wahed ben Teungku Keuchik Syech, Sunday (20/08/17) . Teuku Abdul Waded is the 7th seed of Syiah Kuala who is in charge of guarding and treating this tomb.

Before entering the entrance room in the tomb, written bulletin board for all visitors to wear clothes that Muslims and muslimah. Including a paper attached to the ban on photographing in this tomb.

Prohibition of photographing inside the tomb is not without reason. The guard officer forbade photographing to avoid the things that are not desirable and misused.

Nevertheless, it will provide to take pictures, but after obtaining permission from the manager. After getting the explanation of his needs, while accompanied by the manager, visitors are allowed to capture the moment during the tomb.

"We forbid this do not let the image was worshiped by certain parties, because this is a grave, so we just want to avoid the act of shirk," he said.

This prohibition is not without cause. Teuku Abdul Wahed never get the odd events from visitors some time ago. Unbeknownst to her, one of the visitors picked up the stone in this tomb.

Whereas the white stones sprinkled in the area of ​​this tomb, is a regular stone taken from the river. Even these ornamental stones are widely traded in the market.

A month later, this visitor returned the stone to the Syiah Kuala cemetery. The visitor picked up this stone, then apologized to Teuku Abdul Wahed. He pleaded guilty to taking the stones.

"I have repeatedly reminded visitors not to worship the tomb, to ask for something at the grave, visit the pilgrimage please, if you want to ask something, ask God," he said. But Teuku Abdul Wahed looks reluctant to explain in detail this peculiar incident.
