I am sorry to post this late due to unforseen circumstances. My last ziayarah was at Maqam Habib Ali Kwitang. His real name is Habib Ali al Habsyi. There was a narration comfirmed that somehow he is related to Habib noh al Habsyi, Singapore. In fact, he attended the early days of Haul Habib Noh in Singapore. Another story was said, he attended the grand opening of Masjid Ba'alawi in Singapore.
When we arrived after maghrib, there was Mawlid leading by Habib Abdul Rahman al Habsyi and Habib Najib al Haddad including few other habaaibs. Thousand of Crowds was there. After the mawlid, they performed ziyarah. When I entered the mosque, the ambiance of the atmosphere surrounding reminded me of Solo and Hadramawt, Yemen. Even the decoratiion of Maqam of Habib Ali looks similar to the Hadramawt. It was abit more unique as the crowd gathered to sing Qasidah with drums. One of the Amazement I discovered, when I saw few people holding a Javanese umbrella while Habib Abdul Rahman was walking.
As I was walking towards the Maqam, a habib came to me with a warm welcome. I didn't know who he was perhaps a humble habib that wants me to feel comfortable attending the ziyarah . I saw many performing tawaf and at the same time doa around the maqam, this is their spiritual culture there. From a distance, the glimpse of the maqam, make me excited. Alhamdulilah, I managed to be near the maqam as we tawwasul upon those who are closer to Allah swt.
