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
