Why is there a solitary Muslim tomb
resting in Chinatown? What is the mystery behind this tomb? Most
passerby feel indifferent to its odd existence while some devotees
deem it as a sacred Keramat to which regular offerings, prayers
and even rituals were made. Nobody knows exactly who is buried
underneath although it was marked as "Shrine of Sharifah Rogayah"
who is said to be the granddaughter of Habib Noh. The descendents
of Sharifah Rogayah denied that was her burial however. The only
clue besides the engraved plaque of the so-named is as paranormal
as a divine dream by a young boy in which Habib Nob revealed
himself and instructed him to look for his grand-daughter. The
young boy traced to this location and hence became the caretaker
of this shrine. SPI brings to you the raw bits of this mystery
with an up-close interview of that young boy. Also the concept of
Keramat and its related worship in the Muslim context are
explained. |
