Keramat Batu 8

Masjid Kampong Keramat Batu 8 Keramat Habib Syed Ismail, Upper Bukit Timah Road. FORMER KERAMAT HABIB SYED ISMAIL Previously located opposite the Former Ford Factory in the area known as Batu Lapan “8th milestone” in Malay, Keramat Habib Syed Ismail was a folk shrine patronised by those seeking various blessings. Devotees would sacrifice fowls, release pigeons or tie stones to the beams of the keramat “shrine” in Malay as well as donate funds to its caretaker for the upkeep of the structure. The keramat was significant enough to be marked on maps in the 1950s and 1960s, and was also known as Keramat Batu Lapan to Malays and Chinese, and Eyam Malai Andavu “ten hills” in Tamil to Indians. There are differing accounts about the interred occupant of the keramat. The speculations range from an Indian Muslim named Syed Ismail, who is said to have lived briefly in the nearby village of Kampong Merpati; to Nasoor, an Arab saint who died in the 1930s; and to Nagool, an Indian Muslim known for his virtue. Other accounts claim that the shrine existed before Bukit Timah Road was extended to this area in 1843, and protected early settlers from roaming tigers. When interviewed by The Straits Times in 1938, the caretaker, a Bengali named S. Fareed, claimed that he was 142 years old and had 11 wives. It is likely, however, that the newspaper had failed to distinguish between the Gregorian and Islamic Hijri calendars. During the Japanese invasion of Singapore, Keramat Habib Syed Ismail was not damaged during the barrage of Japanese bombing raids and the fierce artillery and infantry battles that raged. The fact that the shrine escaped unscathed was taken as confirmation of its sacred status by its devotees. However, the keramat later fell victim to redevelopment, and when exhumed in 1992, the grave was found to be empty. Urban legends also conflate Keramat Habib Syed Ismail with a large rock, a well and a “waterfall” nearby, where Syed Ismail is said to have meditated. No natural waterfall is known to have existed in the area, but these stories may refer to a spring or water feature near the Singapore Quarry in the present-day Dairy Farm Nature Park. Notes from M Saniroz AR - Habib Syed Ismail "ghaib" after telling the mosque caretaker he going up to the waterfall rock at Bukit Timah Hill to meditate...but never return...some of his followers saw him in India..they built a shrine near a well that can cure n give people of many races to have children..As it gets popular all races visited this shrine and turn the merpati mosque to a keramat. Muis came to the picture to prevent "kurafat" and to exhumed n relocate it with no remains..because he's a wali that ghaib vanishes they put a grave marker as Syed Ahmad Bin Abdullah Aljuni. Arabic originated name with multiple meanings. Ahmad name meaning is much praised, one of many names of prophet muhammad and the lucky number associated with is 8....Abdullah Aljuni meaning servant of God -Hamba Allah yg hilang.The Keramat of Habib Syed Ismail at the eighth milestone in BukitTimahRoad, near the Ford factory having survived Japanese bombs, no longer exists. The developers of the Downtown MRT line have won.
