Masjid Tengkera 1728
- Masjid Tengkera was founded in 1728 by Tuan Haji Muhammad Saleh @ Tuanku Nan Betis Sabatang @ Nakhoda Nan Intan, a Sumatran Minangkabau prince from Istana Pagaruyung in West Sumatra. His father was a bangsawan named Cati Bilang Pandai. His mother was Puti Indo Jalito bt Maharajo _?
- He had family in Tengkera and before he moved to Batu Uban, Penang.
- He built Masjid Tengkera, Melaka, in 1728.
- He built Masjid Batu Uban, P. Pinang, in 1734.
- He had family in Kampung Melayu-Arab Batu Uban, Penang.
- Makam Nakhoda nan Intan is at Masjid Batu Uban, Penang.
Masjid Banda Hilir 1820
- Who founded Masjid Banda Hilir in Malacca? Dato' Shahbudin bin Haji Mohd Amin.
- Maybe the old surau/madrasah/mosque was small or rundown after so many years and they needed a bigger mosque/madrasah/surau.
- Dato' Shahbudin bin Hj Mohd Amin assisted with re-building the mosque in 1820.
- He was at odds with the British colonials in Banda Hilir, Melaka. The British arrested and imprisoned him. He escaped and appeared at his mosque for all 5 daily prayers. They even chained him and dumped him in the Strait of Malacca, but he escaped alive.
- He died at the hands of the cruel British officers. His cause of death being choking on a seed, which sounds ridiculous.
- He managed to bequeath his masjid and land before he passed away. Either he or Hj Md Sharif or those close to them bequeathed the masjid and land.
- Founding, renovating, and re-building a bigger mosque were features of activities of many masjid in Malayan history.
- Masjid Banda Hilir started as a madrasah and was still a madrasah till Nek Ani passed away. When did Nek Ani pass away? She was still alive when I lived at Banda Hilir in 1958-1963. She was still alive when I visited her after I married.
- Dato' Shahbudin came to build Madrasah Banda Hilir in 1820 (92 years difference after Nakhoda Nan Intan at Tengkera).
- Dato' Shahbudin was (most possibly) a Javanese descendent of Sunan Gunung Jati (Wali Songo).
- Madrasah Banda Hilir was founded in 1820 by Dato' Shahbudin bin Mohd Amin (asal Kadilangu, Cirebon, Java in Indonesia).
- According to Abang Moin (anak Pak Ji Usop and Mak Lah Semabok), the daughter of Datuk Shahbudin, married to Ismail (this in incorrect as Dato' Shahbuddin was a bachelor).
- In Walid's birth certificate, his mother Pahmah (Fatimah bt Mohamad bin Salem Al Yamani) married to Hj Mohd Sharif bin Ismail.

CLUES
The clues are that the father and his daughter are from Tengkera.
The name 'Inche Nyonia binte Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin' appears in Tok Moyang Hj Mohd Sharif's Wasiat of 1912. Inche Nyonia is Tok Moyang Hj Mohd Sharif's mother.
Tok Moyang Hj Mohd Sharif's mother, Inche Nyonia binte Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin, came from Tengkera. That was what Bapak told me.
Did Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin have his own mosque in Malacca? Did he become imam of any masjid?
- Bapak also said Makam Shahabudin Al-Yamani in Tengkera is that of an Indian man, not a Chinese man.
- (Bapak kata) There is a Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tengkera, Melaka (orang India Tengkera). He is an Indian and has relatives in Singapore.

SULTAN HUSSAIN MUHAMAD SHAH
It should be interesting to compare 1820 vs. 1819, ie when Sir Stamford Raffles obtained Singapore from the last Sultan of Singapura-Riau-Johor, Sultan Hussain Muhamad Shah on 6 February 1819.
Sultan Hussain then left Singapore for Melaka. He passed away in Tengkera, Melaka on 5 September 1835 and is interred at Makam Sultan Hussain Muhamad Shah at Masjid Tengkera.
It should also be interesting to compare when the other sultan in exile, Sultan Ali, died at Umbai in Melaka. Haji Zul Tiger has photos of Makam Sultan Ali in Umbai.
It is interesting to also note that we have a large community of relatives in Umbai, Melaka. Umbai is close to the sea and makes sailing and landing boats/ships relatively easy. So travel between Umbai and Singapore was relatively easy and uncomplicated in the old days.
TWO DIFFERENT MAKAMS
There are 2 different makams of 2 great men.
Makam 1
Dato' Shahbudin bin Hj Mohd Amin (asal Cirebon) passed away and is interred at Tanah Perkuburan Islam, Jalan Panjang (also called Lorong Panjang) in Melaka. The cemetery is some distance from Masjid An-Nur Bandar Hilir (old name is Masjid Banda Hilir). His grave and grave post are painted yellow. The grave post has a blue metal plate that reads:
Makam 2
From Bapak:
There is a Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera, Melaka (orang India Tengkera). He is an Indian and has relatives in Singapore.
-------------------
Makam Shahbuddin
There are 2 accounts of Makam Shahbuddin.
From Bapak in 2007:
Bapak mentioned that there is Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in the graveyard of Masjid Tengkera, Malacca. He is an Indian from Tranquera (orang India Tengkera) and has relatives in Singapore.
-----------------
From Mahadhir (cicit Haji Noordin of Ujong Pasir):
There is another Makam Shahbuddin at Perkuburan Jalan Panjang, in Banda Hilir. This is Dato' Shahbuddin bin Hj Mohd Amin from Cirebon, Java in Indonesia. Some of his people (followers?) came to visit his grave, but they have stopped coming. This Shahbuddin built Masjid Banda Hilir in 1820, under British Malaya.
Sultan Hussain then left Singapore for Melaka. He passed away in Tengkera, Melaka on 5 September 1835 and is interred at Makam Sultan Hussain Muhamad Shah at Masjid Tengkera.
It should also be interesting to compare when the other sultan in exile, Sultan Ali, died at Umbai in Melaka. Haji Zul Tiger has photos of Makam Sultan Ali in Umbai.

My questions are:
- Who was Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tengkera, Melaka?
- Is Shahbuddin Al-Yamani the same person as Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin (Tengkera)?
- Where is Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin (Tengkera) buried?
- Is Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin (Tengkera) buried at Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani in Tranquera, Malacca?
- Is Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin (Tengkera) the same individual as Datuk Shahbudin bin Mohd Amin (Cirebon)? I think so, no. Mereka dua individu berlainan. The Romanised names spellings are different even though the Jawi spellings may be the same.
- Is Shahbuddin Al-Yamani the same person as Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin (Tengkera)? I don't know.
Unknown and I need evidence:
- Tuan Sheik Mohamad Sahabudin bin ____? (Tengkera) - there is no photo and location of his grave is unknown
- Makam Shahbuddin Al-Yamani (Tengkera) - there is no photo
