| The Bark Of Holy Qur'an One Evidence Of T he Triumph History Of Islam In Alor Island |
The Geographically Alor Island along with several
other small islands is part of the district of
Alor, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).
The Name
was very short
"Alor", but this island storing
of natural charm are very long and riveting. Starting
from nature, travel, culture and richness of language. Alor did Exotic and not
be discharged to enjoy its beauty. One of the most exotic and popular of Alor
district is Pantar Strait, which lies between the islands and the island of
Alor and Pantar. The beauty and uniqueness of the underwater world is fabulous

located in East Nusa Tenggara, Berau in East Kalimantan, Bunaken in North
Sulawesi and Raja Ampat in Papua, Selat Pantar still the best, though so far
for diving, marine park Komodo, Bunaken, Berau and Raja Ampat more popular, but
in the eyes of the world-class divers Pantar

that after the most beautiful Caribbean Islands marine park.
To be excellent and the teaser for the world class
divers from the United States, Australia,
Austria, Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, New Zealand,
and several countries in Asia.
Travelling to Alor regency, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT),
it feels incomplete if you have not been to the old sites in Alor. The old
sites, for example, the Qur'an made of bark, relics of centuries old mosque in
the village Lerabaing, to the various artifacts of Islam in Alor regency.
The most impressive is the
Holly Qur'an which is made from the bark and the old mosque in the
village Lerabaing. Perhaps according to the local old people's stories, the
Qur'an is made from the bark by hand it is a relic of the sultanate of Ternate
when they brought Islam to Alor district around 1519 AD.
Currently the Holy Qur'an
is saved by Saleh Panggo Gogo is a 13th generation descendant of the Sultanate
of Ternate iang Gogo. So even an old mosque that was the center of preaching
the carrier greatness when they brought in the Islamic mission in Alor
District. Up to now the old mosque was used as a
place of worship.
The Old of mosque still standing was built with the typical
architecture of Ternate in 1633 AD. Amazement, the mosque was built it was no
use of modern equipment. Between one pole and another pole buildings connected
by not using nails or wood pen. Between one pole and another pole only
interlocking. Nevertheless, the old mosque which was built in 1633 AD was never
felled by the wind and the storm today.
In sociology, the influence of the arrival of Islam
from Ternate cause the coastal population in the
Muslim-majority Alor district. It is said that the carrier of the symbols of
Islam came into Alor trade lane, so the distribution of Muslim population is
more in coastal areas. Unlike the case with the majority of people in the
interior of Christians. The spread of Christianity in Alor through Christian
missionaries from the Netherlands in 1908. The Dutch missionaries came after
the entry of Islamic influence of Ternate in the beach area. By him that the
Christian population more in rural areas, although the residents of coastal and
inland still bound by blood ties and custom.
Collected from several sources, based on age,
relics of Holy Qur'an in Alor Holy Qur'an is the oldest in Asia. At the Festival Legu
Gam in Ternate in 2011, is the oldest Holy Qur'an
specially imported by the Sultan of Ternate of Alor.
Based on the source, Holy
Qur'an was brought to Alor Besar in 1519 AD by iang Gogo who wander
along four siblings with a mission to spread Islam to the Alor. At that time,
the holy book were taken in the Sultanate Babullah V by five brothers from
Ternate using sailboat that according to history named Tuma Ninah meaning `Stop
/ Stop Briefly '. The real proof of the entry of Islam from Ternate to Alor
this is one island in Alor named Ternate island. Similarly, there was a
settlement in the village of Illu-Baranusa named village "Maloku".
Alor, not only saving
the beautiful views of the underwater world number two in the world after the
Caribbean sea, but also save artifacts and traces the history of Islamic
civilization was awesome. Feels
incomplete visit to NTT, if not yet
visited sites in the old city district is nicknamed The walnut.
