lux as the morning was just beginning to stir this trip holds a special purpose my school reunion in kelantan with my husband joining me for the journey we decided to start a few days early allowing ourselves time to wander to revisit places of history and to rediscover the charm of the east coast at an unhurried pace our first stop was a simple pleasure of nasi berlauk breakfast at restoran putri in sri gombak it was hearty and comforting just what we needed before merging onto the karak highway the road ahead was kind to us that morning traffic flowed smoothly along karak and lpt2 almost as if welcoming us eastward tasty nasi berlauk for breakfast we refueled both the vehicle and ourselves along the way first at petronas bentong then brief stops at hentian sebelah lanchang and kemaman these pauses though small added rhythm to the journey we exited at ajil toll plaza our first meaningful destination was the historic memorial batu bersurat this site marks the discovery of the batu bersurat terengganu a 14th century inscribed stone that stands as one of the earliest evidences of islam in the malay peninsula the inscription written in jawi speaks of islamic laws and governance offering a glimpse into a time when faith was beginning to shape the identity of this land standing there one cannot help but feel a quiet reverence for the depth of history beneath our feet the batu bersurat memorial t he earliest evidences of islam in the malay peninsula terengganu 14th century inscribed stone on display the discovery of the batu bersurat depicted in a painting we continued to makam tok gajah the resting place of a respected local figure and warrior tok gajah is remembered for his courage and resistance during turbulent times particularly in opposing foreign influence the site is simple yet dignified echoing the humility of those who came before us the signage to makam tok gajah brief history of tok gajah the resting place of the legendary tok gajah driving along a smaller road by the river we arrived at warisan kota temir this heritage site reflects the remnants of an old settlement believed to date back centuries once serving as a centre of early governance and trade though time has softened its edges the spirit of a once thriving community still lingers the gps led us to a less trodden short cut route traditional wooden gate with carvings at warisan kota temir a traditional malay house built on stilts replica of classic terengganu architectures lunch was a delightful surprise a small roadside eatery serving murtabak rusa and nasi goreng rusa it was rustic unassuming and delicious in the way that only such hidden places can be nasi goreng rusa for lunch our journey then took us to makam syeikh abdullah known affectionately as tok pauh he was a respected islamic scholar who played a role in spreading religious teachings in the region the calmness of the area seemed fitting for someone who dedicated his life to knowledge and faith historical background of sheikh abdullah tok pauh newly build walls around the tomb by late afternoon we made a brief stop at masjid padang mengkuang in marang to perform our jamak prayers another quiet pause grounding us amid the movement of travel masjid padang mengkuang marang we arrived at sumai hotel apartment around 4 30 pm we will be staying in kuala terengganu for two nights at rm105 night the room welcomed us with much needed comfort and we surrendered to a short power nap the heat of the day had been relentless leaving me drained and nursing a slight headache our lodging in kuala terengganu still by 7 30 pm we gathered enough energy to head out again this time to the waterfront where the iconic kuala terengganu drawbridge stood gracefully against the evening sky we watched as its lights shifted in colour reflecting softly on the river a gentle almost poetic end to the day the iconic kuala terengganu drawbridge dinner was light soup noodles and crispy fried calamari at a seaside restaurant along batu buruk beach the sea breeze though warm carried a sense of calm a seafood restaurant at batu buruk beach back at the hotel a refreshing shower washed away the day s fatigue we turned in early grateful for a journey that had begun not just with miles travelled but with meaning rediscovered posted by nong maimon mohd top at 22 30 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels kelantan local travel terengganu tuesday 28 april 2026 day 02 tracing faith and time in every quiet mosque history whispers and the heart listens galeri ilmu tok ku tuan besar kuala terengganu day 02 27 april 2026 monday route around kuala terengganu hotel sumai hotel apartment kuala terengganu we began the morning unhurried letting the day unfold gently before us kuala terengganu would be our base our journey today was about tracing faith history and the quiet beauty of old mosques scattered across the state our first stop was masjid raja bukit besar built in 1919 the old mosque was demolished and a new mosque was built in 2015 and renamed as masjid sultan muhammad the new mosque carries a calm dignity with its layered rooflines and traditional malay architectural elements reflecting a time when design was shaped by both function and faith masjid sultan muhammad or masjid raja bukit besar the 1919 old mosque was demolished google pic breakfast followed at the ever popular nasi dagang atas tol simple familiar and comforting nasi dagang and teh madu for breakfast from there we continued to masjid hiliran one of the oldest mosques in the state known for its distinctive multi tiered roof and strong javanese influences it was declared a national heritage site in 2019 while the exact date of its original wooden construction is unknown it is believed to be over 200 years old it is believed to be the first mosque in terengganu built with two floors a highlight of the site is the telaga mandi gajah putih white elephant bathing well built during the reign of sultan zainal abidin iil a quiet reminder of the cultural exchanges that once shaped this region masjid hiliran kampung hiliran kuala terengganu we then visited masjid kampung bukit bayas a historic mosque closely linked to early islamic scholars in terengganu it is notable for its long history dating back over 150 years and its preservation of traditional malay architectural elements built around 1873 it is one of the older mosques in the region it is also associated with the legacy of syeikh abdul kadir bukit bayas a prominent religious scholar it is famous for its intricate wood carvings on the mimbar which showcase traditional malay motifs like awan larat floral patterns and vines the mosque understated structure speaks more through its legacy than its form a place where knowledge and devotion once flourished side by side masjid kampung bukit bayas our journey continued to masjid kampung mesah baru a modest village mosque that reflects the enduring role of faith within close knit rural communities simple grounded and quietly steadfast this is a new mosque believed to have been built over the century old original mosque while the exact date is not precisely recorded which is common for older community built mosques that may have evolved from smaller suraus over time masjid kampung mesah baru further inland we arrived at masjid kampung dusun one of the most remarkable stops of the day it is one of the oldest mosques in terengganu with records indicating it was built around 1908 built entirely from chengal wood without the use of nails the mosque stands as a testament to traditional craftsmanship elevated on stilts and adorned with delicate carvings it reflects the elegance of malay architecture known locally as masjid raja it is also believed to have once served as a refuge for sultan sulaiman during the japanese occupation even today the presence of the old beduk on its veranda quietly preserves echoes of the past masjid kampung dusun kuala berang the century old beduk we made a brief stop at empangan sultan mahmud the scale of the dam was impressive though ongoing construction limited what we could explore still the vastness of tasik kenyir stretched beyond hinting at its natural grandeur massive roadworks on the way to the dam on the return route we visited masjid beladau kolam a peaceful mosque set within a quiet village landscape another reminder of how deeply mosques are woven into daily life here it is recognized as one of the oldest and earliest religious education centers in terengganu historically it was the site of the second tok pulau manis sheikh abdul malek religious school it was originally built as a wooden mosque by villagers the current permanent concrete building was constructed in 1996 the mosque features a single dome and only one minaret masjid beladau kolam kuala terengganu one of the most meaningful visits was to masjid pulau manis this mosque traces its origins to the 17th century built on the site of a religious school founded by the esteemed scholar tok pulau manis the legendary malay scholar syeikh abdul malik bin abdullah once a renowned centre of islamic learning it attracted students from across the malay world though the structure has been renovated over time its spiritual legacy remains strong especially with the nearby resting place of tok pulau manis still visited and remembered by many masjid pulau manis kuala terengganu makam tok pulau manis on our way back we stopped at masjid tok ku tuan besar for jamak prayers one of the oldest mosques in terengganu it is closely associated with tok ku tuan besar a respected scholar whose real name was sayyid abdul rahman al idrus who played a significant role in spreading islamic teachings in the region traditionally designed with a multi tiered roof and timber elements the mosque reflects the classic nusantara style more than a place of worship it once served as a centre of learning and community life a role that still lingers in its quiet presence the tomb of tok ku tuan besar is located adjacent to the mosque masjid tok ku tuan besar kuala terengganu the tomb of tok ku tuan besar before returning to the hotel we made a quick detour to pasar payang a simple lunch at the food court followed by a small purchase of kuih bahulu and bottles of honey added a touch of local flavour to the day pasar payang kuala terengganu back at the hotel we rested well grateful for the slower pace the stories uncovered and the quiet beauty of places that continue to stand not just as buildings but as keepers of time each mosque carried its own story of faith resilience and community posted by nong maimon mohd top at 23 35 no comments email this blogthis share to
