EXILED TO MECCA


As the result of the trial, the British decided that Haji Abdul Rahman Limbong will be exiled to Mecca. Before that, there were parties recommended that Haji should be deported to China. But in the end, it was decided that Mecca was the right place. Besides, Haji Abdul Rahman Limbong himself planned to spend the rest of his life at Mecca.

Haji Abdul Rahman’s letter to his disciples


Although he was sent to Mecca, but the struggles and the teaching that he developed still remains intact. He still teaches even in Mecca. Many of his disciples resume his studies in Mecca or met him while performing the hajj.
During his in Makkah, he did asked for permission to return to Terengganu. But unfortunately his request was rejected with the reason that he would later give rise to the spirit of the people of Terengganu. In the end, after all this time he was teaching varieties of knowledge about religion, he passed away on 14 Muharram 1348 (1929) due to the disease in the belly. That was the end of the battle of an influential scholars and a warrior which we can still see his good influences in this present life of the Muslim community in Terengganu.
