Wan Sheikh Kadir Of Bukit Bayas Terengganu


 


SHEIKH WAN KADIR BUKIT BAYAS

The linkage from him to his great great grand father Faqeh Ali Malbari was like so : faqeh Ali Al Malibari is Abdul Kadir bin Abdul rahim bin Abu bakar bin Abdul Rahman 9 known as Deramang) bin Ismail Tok Kaya pandak bin Paqeh Ali . His  family was a apart of the Patani royal relatives who were invited to Terengganu by Sultan Terengganu for  contributing  in serving for new born land of Terengganu.  His family lived in Pulau Duyung . it was narrated that anong his brothers were Syeikh Ibrahim  Kg Maqam of Ladang and Sheikh Abdullah the author of the famious hadith tetxbook, kitab muhimmah. Sheikh Abdullah had been said as his first older brother and spent most of his life in Mecca.

He received his early education in common established pondok at that time in Patani such as pondok Bekah. Then he – as other excellent students at that time- pursued his study in Mekah. Among his masters were Sheikh mohamad salleh bin Abdul rahman pauh bok al patani, Sheikh Mohamad zain bin faqih Jalaluddin Acheh . sheikh Mohamad salleh Ibrahim, Grand Mufti of shafite school in Mekah and a number of other masters.   
 After advancing his study, he returned to Nusantara with an aim to establish a Islamic centre. There are  disputed among historians to remark that he returned direct to  Patani . The majority of historians argued  that he  came direct to Pulau Duyung in Terengganu because his parents had migrated in Terengganu. 
After a certain time in Terengganu, he shipped again to Patani . despite of engaging with his relatives, he surveyed about the religious  educational tradition  system in Serambi Mekah(patani)  to brought to Terengganu. unfortunately, the Perang Bisik Siam patani in 1825  took place to prohibit him to travel back  to Terengganu. As he was from royal family in Krisek,  he involved actively in the battle. After defeated by Siam, he escaped with some other colleges to Kelantan. After hearing that his name was with wanted list, he turned to Terengganu.
In Terengganu, his family relationship with kingship provided him a royal protection from any Siamese disaster.  From Duyung, he was requested to delivery teaching in Paya Bunga and istana hijau ( Green Palace )
Later, he was granted by the Sultan a wide vast land which nowadays include Batu Buruk . Bukit Besar, pasir Panjang, bukit bayas, Bukit depu and Gong pak maseh.   

In Terengganu, Sheikh Abdul Kadir Bukit Bayas taught fiqh( school of Shafite) and tasauf. He mastered in aqidah of which his specified on mertbat tujuh. His specialize in mertabat tujuh   illustrate to us about his deepen tendency in philosophy and tasauf. Later he was considered as among figures who promoted the topic to become more familiar generally in Nusantara and especially in Terengganu. his students spread out his teaching over  other lands in Nusantara. More earlierly , this topic  was introduced in Terengganu  by Sheukh Tok ku Pulau manis. ( Sheikh Abdul malik Abdullah).

 For seeking Islamic teaching from him, Sultan Umar, and then his son Sultan zainal Abidin came to Kg Bukit bayas . it were mountains and really a fantastic place.
When I was a  childhood and in very early primary school,  I grew up in Kampung Gelong Gajah and spent my daily life there . I collected a number of stories from our adults men who narrated from their earlier  people that the village was named so as referred to that  these sultans parked their elephants overnights there during their  seeking knowledge from handful of Sheikh.

Wan Mohamad Saghir mentioned in his account that Sheikh Wan Abdul kadir Bukit bayas with four wives had issued  25 sons and daughters. Nowadays, we can see  some of his progeny   had still accumulated    in a number of  villages surrounding Kg Bukit Bayas while quite numbers of others  spread out in somewhere else
