4th July 2011

After breakfast at Hj Ismail house at Bogor, we visited Persentren Darul Ulum, where Haji Ismail house is located.

Dzulkifli was surprised to find his name from among the list of contributors for one of the waqaf project for  Darul Ulum.

This is the 2nd floor of the mosque that Haji Ismail, with the help of Ustaz Salleh and his students built. They named it "Ruang Sheikh Omar Bin Abdullah Al-Khatib", in memory of Ustaz Salleh's teacher - Syeikh Omar Al-Khatib, who is well-known for his knowledge.

After that, we did a bit of shopping at Bogor itself before heading to Condet, Jakarta. We had to re-adjust our itenary to fit in the lunch invitation by Habib Ali bin Muhammad Al-Haddad whom we met at the majlis haul for Habib Syeikh bin Salim Al-Attas at Sukabumi.

Once we entered Condet, we parked our car at Masjid Al-Hawi, before we walked across the road to Maqam Al-Hawi, where among those buried there is the famous Habib Omar bin Hud Al-Attas, who had many students from Singapore.

This is the Maqam of Habib Muhsin bin Muhammad Al-Attas who passed away in 1938.

After that, we then head down to visit Habib Ali bin Muhammad Al-Haddad. We planned to make the visit a very short one, hoping to squeeze in other visits, but it was not to be. Habib Ali really welcomed us and prepared a sumptuos lunch for us.

We had tea after lunch, prepared by Dzulkifli.



Within the premises of his house, there is also the admnistrative office of Darul Mustafa, where it handles the admin issues pertaining to students studying in Darul Mustafa, Haudramaut, Yemen.


Soon, it was time for us to leave Habib Ali's house and head straight to the airport, and back home. We reached Changi Airport safely at about 10 p.m. Alhamdulillah.
