NEW INTEREST

Seeking For Religious Knowledge

Musa had enjoyed his life happily in Singapura, working early in the morning and going home late in the evening. That routine of life had been used to Musa and he seemed adapted to it.

Until one day, when he was approached coincidentally by a merchant from a state known as Kelantan. The merchant spoke in Klantanese dialect...something new to Musa and he found it very interesting. Further stories and tales from the merchant about Kelantan had made Musa felt very excited about the same.

So, he started to learn something more about Kelantan state. He was told by the merchant about many religious teachers are available in Kelantan. Some are the native and some are from Pattani, south Thailand. Many people from other places in the Malay Archipelago went to Kelantan to study Islamic Religious. 

The names like Tok Kenali,  Tok Selehong, Haji Abdul Malik Sungai Pinang and plenty more were later on became the icons of the Malay and Islamic Religious development until today. Musa had heard about Haji Abdul Malik's name being quoted several times by his father during the religious classes in his native home in Makassar.

Musa had chances to visit those names and learn further about Islamic Religious.

He had arranged a trip to Kelantan when the merchant came back to Singapura the following month. So, the seeking for religious knowledge was almost done.

Musa will leave Singapura forever, just like leaving his native land too...
