JAFFAR BIN SAID (JAAFAR RAWAS)

A famous Hadrami Arab in Kelantan was the late Jaffar Rawas, the founder-owner of Syarikat Jaffar Rawas Sdn Bhd at 1962, Jalan Dato Pati, 15000 Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Tel: 09-748-1073. He was a trader of Quran, Islamic books, Halal foods, garments and prayer items.

I met Jaffar Rawas in 1969-1971 when he came over to our house at Maktab Perguruan Kota Bharu (MPKB) in P. Chepa and had pulut durian Thai-style, and another time when my father was talking to him at his shop in KB. He spoke good Malay to my sibs and me. He gave clear instructions on how to eat pulut durian Thai-style (gaul pulut, durian, santan, gula Melaka dan makan dengan tangan). It was the first time I saw someone eating durian in this manner.

I remember Jaffar Rawas was of big build. He wore an Afghan musafir 3-piece suit and a white headgear. He was already very old and had long white beard when I met him.

YEMENI RELATIVES

Jaffar Rawas was related to my father, to Ida's father, to Dr Husin, to Kak Insun Sony, and to Dr Naheed bin Dr Hussein.

Comments in Facebook:

Ida Husain : Jaffar Rawas was a nephew of my late step-grandfather Sheikh Ali. He passed away many years ago and his children have taken over his business. I know a few of them but the one named Abdul will always be the one who will chat with me if I meet him. The others that l can recall are Aziz and Abdullah. I have a step-aunty Umi Fatimah who is my late father's half-sister that l have not met for such a very long time who may shed some light on Aruah Jaffar Rawas.

Roots, family tree and early settlers of Penang

Yusof ialah saudara sebelah Bapak.
Refer to the book by Prof Ahmad Murad Merican for details of his family tree.
There is a flowchart of his family tree, but it is lacking information at many branches.
Yusof was of Sumatran Minangkabau royal descent ... of the ill-fated Pagaruyung Palace which burnt to the ground in the shape of a horse after a lightning strike.
Yusof bin Ishak is from the Datuk Jannatun (Dato' Jenaton) clan.
He was descended from Datuk Jannatun of West Sumatra. Datuk Jannatun and his brother Datuk Setia came to Penang in 1879, when given the bounty of a hilly area (Bukit Jannatun) by the Sultan of Kedah, for defeating Siamese advancement on Kedah. At the time, Penang was under the Kedah Sultanate.
Datuk Jannatun was the brother-in-law of Nakhoda nan Intan.
Nakhoda nan Intan was a Sunni imam, Sufi master, religious community leader and a ship captain. Nakhoda nan Intan sailed to Penang and opened a Malay-Arab village at Batu Uban. He built Masjid Batu Uban in 1734, the first and oldest mosque on Penang island, well before the British East India Company arrived in Penang.
Nakhoda nan Intan's brother, Nakhoda Kecil went to invite Captain Francis Light to Penang's shore at Tanjong Penaga - now George Town.
Nakhoda nan Intan had married four wives - one in Sumatra, one in Singapore, one in Tengkera in Malacca, and one at Kg Batu Uban in Penang.
Nakhoda nan Intan built a mosque at every port of call. The one in Singapore is the more recent Masjid Haji Muhammad Salleh of 1894. Nakhoda nan Intan was a close friend of Habib Noh Alhabshi. Their descendants married and can be found in Malaysia. Nakhoda nan Intan built Masjid Tengkera in 1728. He last built Masjid Batu Uban in 1734. He died in Penang and is buried in the Muslim-Arab graveyard of Masjid Batu Uban in Penang. I don't have his date of birth and demise.

Tracing the descendants of Nakhoda Nan Intan in Tranquera, Malacca

Faridah Abdul Rashid

Encik Ismail bin Hamid, Secretary of JK Masjid Tranquera called and asked about Nakhoda Nan Intan. Nakhoda Nan Intan had built Masjid Tengkera in 1728, much earlier than Masjid Batu Uban in Penang which was built in 1734. His descendants today are concentrated near Masjid Tengkera, however, they are Indians. Muzium Melaka wants the history of Masjid Tengkera. I can only provide what I know. Do you know? Can you help? My blog is at 262 Banda Hilir.

Ayah Wan Merican Noordin Try and contact Khairuddin Shah of Shah Motel. I believe he would know about this. Also, you can contact Mohd. Thurai Abdullah, who is the manager of Maybank HQ. He is from there.

Faridah Abdul Rashid Shah Motel where?

Ayah Wan Merican Noordin Khairuddin Shah maybe at Shah Motel, Petaling Jaya. There is also a Shah Motel in Melaka, and apparently he is from Melaka. His uncle was the Ketua Kampong there.

Assalamu'alaikum,

I obtained your name from Ayah Wan Merican Noordin in my Facebook.
I'm tracing a few people and stories about them.
I'm writing to ask whether you would know about the following:

1. Nakhoda Nan Intan and his families
2. Makam Shabuddin in Tranquerah
3. Dato HM Shah's family

Encik Ismail bin Hamid, Secretary of JK Masjid Tranquera called me earlier today (11 June 2013) to ask re Nakhoda nan Intan. I am a 10th generation of descendants from Nakhoda Nan Intan from my late father's side who was from Banda Hilir, Malacca. My father also had family ties to Dato HM Shah's family. My father mentioned there is a Makam Shahbuddin in Tranquerah. Would you happen to know about any of the above? This is my blog on this matter: http://262bandahilir.blogspot.com/

Deli

Nakhoda nan Intan's first wife

The first wife of Haji Muhammad Saleh (Nakhoda nan Intan) was from Deli. Deli is a famous seaport on the east coast of Sumatra. Deli is always mentioned in Malay maritime history.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deli_Serdang_Regency

His first wife was known as Che Pah Deli. She was probably a Sharifah and Che Pah was her popular call name. I have no update on her descendants or what happened to her. I have not been to Deli.

Deli Music

Deli music is joyful and cheerful, and are meant for group dances, stage or public performance. Deli music has Spanish flair, some tango/flamenco elements, and Filipino dance beat. The music of the Malay people of Deli (Melayu Deli) is fast tempo like the Malay Joget and Jingling Nona, and similar to the music of the descendants of the Portuguese at the Portuguese Settlement in Malacca. The violin is dominant in Deli music as in popular Portuguese dance music. The lyrics are in the form of pantun (quatrains) and are often about love, a loved one, and missing home.

Deli Malay songs:
Selayang Pandang
Tanjung Katung

Sultanate of Deli
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultanate_of_Deli

Since Nakhoda nan Intan was in Deli and had married a Deli lady, he must have known or have come into contact with the Sultan of Deli at that time - most probably Tuanku Panglima Paderap (1698-1728) and/or less likely with the successor Tuanku Panglima Pasutan (1728-1761) as he was already in Singapore and then Malacca.

Nakhoda nan Intan was in Singapore at the turn of the 18th century (from 1700s to before 1728). He was a close friend of Habib Noh Alhabshi in Singapore. His original surau/madrassah/masjid in Singapore would have been built between 1700s and 1728, after which he moved to Tengkera in Malacca. The recent Masjid Haji Muhammad Saleh was constructed circa 1897.

Nakhoda nan Intan was in Malacca circa 1728. He built Masjid Tengkera, Malacca in 1728. He had family in Malacca. The 5th generation of Nakhoda nan Intan's descendants are from Tengkera in Malacca.

Nakhoda nan Intan was in Penang circa 1734. He built Masjid Batu Uban in 1734. He had family in Batu Uban, The 5th generation of Nakhoda nan Intan's descendants are from Batu Uban in Penang.

The lineage of the Sultans of Deli:

Tuanku Panglima Gocah Pahlawan (1632-1669).
Tuanku Panglima Parunggit (1669-1698).
Tuanku Panglima Paderap (1698-1728) ... Nakhoda nan Intan must have known him
Tuanku Panglima Pasutan (1728-1761) ... Nakhoda nan Intan could have known him.
Tuanku Panglima Gandar Wahid (1761-1805).
Sultan Amaluddin Mangendar (1805-1850).
Sultan Osman Perkasa Alam Shah (1850-1858).
Sultan Mahmud Al Rashid Perkasa Alamsyah (1858-1873).
Sultan Ma'mun Al Rashid Perkasa Alamyah (1873-1924).
Amaluddin Sultan Al Sani Perkasa Alamsyah (1924-1945).
Sultan Osman Al Sani Perkasa Alamsyah (1945-1967).
Sultan Azmy Perkasa Alam Alhaj (1967-1998).
Sultan Otteman Mahmud Perkasa Alam (5 May 1998 – 21 July 2005).
