The History of Ampel Mosque, Mbah Bolong and Mbah Sholeh


Land Ampilan
Based on the history, based on records in the Book of Pengging Teracah, after came the invitation of King UB, Mojopahit ruler, Sunan Ampel rewarded Ampilan land to spread the Islamic religion on the north side of East Java land.
Travel Sunan Ampel was then accompanied by several followers, including Ki Wirosaroyo. Previous Wirosaroyo Hindu. After converting to Islam, she says it wants to join the trip Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Incidentally he had a daughter named Karimah (who later edited Sunan Ampel). Fit Javanese tradition, parents are sometimes called by the name of her first child. So Ki Wirosaroyo often called by the name Mr.Karimah, or more popularly known as Mbah Karimah again.
"Upon arrival in Surabaya, Sunan Ampel first build places of worship in Kembang Kuning. Name Yellow Flower said to have originated from gebang yellow or palm yellow that time, many grow in the region. Another version says, the name comes from animals Yellow Flower yellow beetle, "said Amien.
Places of worship established with Ki Wirosaroyo Sunan Ampel this, he added, a small mosque-shaped measuring about 12x12 feet and briefly looked like the cupola. The floor resembles siti inggil which is very fitting for Munajat belief in the Divine. After that, Sunan Ampel continue the journey and had also build places of worship in the village Peneleh. Only after that, Sunan Ampel Ampel dento build a mosque in the perched stately and more crowded until now.
If visiting the mosque, located on Jl. Holy Ampel 45 or Jl. Ampel Mosque 53, we could see 30-meter-high tower near the entrance to the south side. In the mosque complex, there is also a well and a small drum remains the Sunan, and 16 poles as high as 17 meters (complete with carved calligraphy that read Section Chair), which supports the roof of the mosque area of ​​800 square meters. No less interesting, we can see the kingdom of Majapahit emblem ornament at the top of the door surrounding the Masid Ampel. Wearing the symbol of that series, can be a form of homage to the King Mojopahit Sunan Ampel who was kind enough to give Ampilan land in Surabaya.
 

"Until now, relatively Ampel Mosque building in the original. This is very different from the Langgar Tiban in Kembang Kuning that has changed from the building originally. Break renovated it has become Masjid Rahmat, "he said. Total renovation was done, it is said, to avoid the cult-like and envious nature that could have been done by Muslims.
Even so, no doubt when the image of Masjid Ampel-covered majesty and magic. Includes stories about Mbah Sholeh said to have nine lives. Mbah Sholeh, said a history, is a loyal follower of Sunan Ampel, who during his life diligently to help build and clean the mosque.
One time, Sunan Ampel involuntarily sighed, "Ah, if Mbah Sholeh still alive, of course yard mosque is not dirty like this." Immediately, Mbah Soleh who have died, suddenly appeared and immediately help Sunan Ampel clean the mosque. Miracles were repeated up to nine times, until his death in 1478 of Sunan Ampel in Ampel.
Mbah Sholeh ever died later buried in the tomb complex north of the old Ampel Mosque. Here, we could see nine tombstones lined up neatly, as a sign of Mbah Sholeh ever lived and died nine times. On the west side of the mosque, there are grave Mbah Sonhaji or also known as Mbah Bolong.
 

According to the story, Mbah Bolong is a person who contributed to determine the Qibla direction by punching holes (mbolongi, Javanese) walls using his finger to see the Ka`ba in Mecca. In addition to Mbah Bolong tomb, there are some martyr's tomb and the students of Sunan Ampel. A few meters from these tombs, lies the tomb of Sunan Ampel, side by side with his first wife, Dewi Condrowati, one of the daughters of King UB.Thus the stories I tell. thanks for reading.
