Ami Aziz is husband of Siti Rahmah bt Abdul Rashid Makawi.

According to Tok Kalthom (Batu Uban, 5 June 2013), Fatma should be higher than Ami Aziz in the family tree.

MINANGKABAU-INDIAN- CHINESE HERITAGE
Pagaruyung-Hadramaut in Yemen-China links

1. From here we can guess Tok Sharif's long name from his Minangkabau roots of Nakhoda Nan Intan:

Haji Mohamad Sharif  bin Ismail bin Mohamad Saleh bin Khatib Usuf bin ..???...bin Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan.

2. So my Minangkabau paternal long name can possibly be like this:

Faridah bt Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope bin Haji Mohamad Sharif  bin Ismail bin Mohamad Saleh bin Khatib Usuf bin ...???....bin Muhammad Salleh @ Nakhoda Nan Intan.

3. An alternative long name via my Minangkabau great-grandfather and his Chinese mother and her Javanese Indian Muslim father is like this:

Faridah bt Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope bin Haji Mohamad Sharif son of Inche Nyonia binte Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin bin...??? ..... from ...????...

Yemeni link to Malacca

Tok Hj Mohd Sharif's mother is Inche Nyonia binte Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin. Who is Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin? What is his full name? Where was he from? Was he from Tengkera (Tranquera)? Was he an imam of any masjid? Was he an Indian? No idea, could be. See what Bapak said below. Was he Javanese? Possibly, yes, from Cirebon. See history of Masjid Banda Hilir from its AJK Masjid.


From Bapak:
There is a Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera, Malacca (orang India Tranquera). He is an Indian and has relatives in Singapore.

Who are the relatives of Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin bin Amin in Singapore? I don't know.

Maheran Ahmad said she doesn't know about Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera. She will search.

Mahadhir Mohamad said Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani is in Banda Hilir at Jalan Panjang. He gave a pic of a yellow makam with a blue metal plate.

MASJID TRANQUERA 1728
Jalan Tengkera, Bandaraya Melaka
& Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani, Tranquera, Malacca

Masjid Tranquera was built in 1728 and has Islamic-Chinese architecture with square 3-tiered roofs and a 50-feet pagoda-like minaret.

The masjid was rebuilt in 1821 and was ready by 1850. The original wooden structures were maintained and were not removed.

There are hundreds of ancient graves outside the masjid, including that of Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor-Singapura who passed away in 1835.

This masjid was recognised as the state masjid till a new one was built. Masjid Al-Azim was opened in 1993.

Tranquera is a Portuguese word which means barrier (benteng).

Tranquera Road (Jalan Tengkera) was one of the early roads in Malacca (circa 1500s).

This masjid has been gazetted as a heritage building.

MASJID KG HULU 1728
Jalan Masjid, Bandaraya Melaka
& Keramat Gubah, Bukit Beruang, Malacca

Masjid Kg Hulu was built in 1728 (some say 1720) by Dato Shamsuddin. It has a 3-tiered roof (bumbung tangkup tiga) and a pagoda-like minaret (menara bentuk pagoda). The masjid was renovated several times over but the original wooden masjid structure has been maintained.

Datuk Shamsuddin is the son of Dato Aroon @ Haron who originated from China and became a Muslim. In 1700, Dato Aroon was appointed as the first Malay captain (Kapitan Melayu I) to look after the affairs of the Malay community. The title was inherited by his son.

Since Dato Aroon originated from China, there are many Chinese inscriptions (tulisan Cina) inside the masjid.

Makam Dato Aroon (father) and Dato Shamsuddin (son) are at Bukit Beruang and are known as Keramat Gubah.

This masjid has been gazetted as a heritage building.
