ORIGIN - PROSPERITY OF TEMBILAHAN CITY

In ancient times, there lived a husband and wife descendants of Tambi. This married couple

wanders in search of a new place of living. After wandering for a long time, finally they came to

an area that was completely inhabited. The area is still a wilderness and in it, you can find many

wild animals such as tigers, snakes, crocodiles and others.

Given its strategic location, namely the riverbank, they finally decided to make the area their

residence. They started cutting trees and looking for coconut roofs, they would build small huts

by the river.

With great patience, they also started pioneering the wilderness to become a plantation.

Husband: aisyah, it is impossible for us to continue like this, just relying on

existing natural resources only.

Aisyah : yes too bg, how about we do the planting?

Husband : Now that's a good idea, what should we plant?

Aisyah : Let's just plant the spices that can live on peat soil like this.

The next day, they started farming, of course with the produce from the plantation to make a

living, and people started to come to buy the produce from the garden.

Among the newcomers who bought it, some even made a hut and live there so that the area

where Tambi lived became a small village.

Seeing people getting busy, the Tambi couple wanted to open a coffee shop, especially as food

and beverage traders have always been a job done by people of Indian descent.

Husband : aisyah ....

Aisyah : Yes bg, what's wrong?

Husband : as we can see, people start to come. What if we open a coffee shop?

Asiyah : That's a good idea, besides coffee, we can also sell our special food, bg, Roti Canai

Husband : Then I will go to the market to buy the necessary ingredients

Since that day the couple has been busy with their coffee shop. At night they are busy preparing

roti canai dough and in the morning they are busy serving those who buy. The first week of sales

they have not sold, even more to lose. They do not give up, according to them profit and loss in

selling is a common thing.

Gradually the hard work paid off, people began to busy visiting their coffee shops. Slowly the

news began to spread from mouth to mouth about Tambi shop because of the delicious coffee

and roti canai.

Aisyah : Alhamdulillah, our merchandise is selling well

Husband : Yes, Ayesha, over time people started to come to our shop

On another place, there was a group of sailors who were talking looking for a place to stop.

Pelayar 1: guys, how about we stop at the coffee shop to take a short break before Proceed the

journey ?

Pelayar 2: What's the name of the coffee shop?

Pelayar 3: Yes, what's the name of the coffee shop?

Pelayar 1: What coffee shop? (while scratching his head). Ahh yes, it's like this, owner The

coffee shop was the first to clear land in the area, they are descendants of Tambi.

The three of them rushed to the Tambi coffee shop to eat and drink.

At night as usual the Tambi coffee shop is closed.

Husband : Aisyah ...

Asiyah : Yes sir, what's wrong? (while tidying up his merchandise)

Husband : people who visit our shop always ask about the name of the shop And the name of this

area. So what is a good name for us to use?

Aisyah : as I heard from the story of people who came, there is not far from here The village in

which lives a cleric figure. What if We just ask Him about it?

Husband : Good idea, Ayesha, tomorrow we just close the coffee shop. We come to meet the

characters The cleric

Not far from the village, there is a fairly well-known old village called Kampung Sapat. And in

that village lived a charismatic cleric figure who was very famous for his wisdom, wisdom and

generosity. He is often asked for his opinion. The name of the cleric is Tuan Guru Syekh

Abdurrahman Shidiq Al - Banjari. He served as muti for the Indragiri Sultanate for 27 years.

As they were talking about, the next day they rushed to visit the Master Master. When they

arrived there they also told about the condition of the village they had started.

S&A : Assalamualaikum ...

Master teacher : Waalaikumsalam, please enter.

S&A : (enters the house and sits)

Master teacher : What on earth do you come to my house?

Husband : You see, teacher, recently we opened a land that is now already Become a

small township. Increasingly, people are increasingly trading And started asking

about the name of the village, but we were confused about the name

What is right for our village.

Aisyah : if we could ask the teacher's opinion 

Tuan teacher : what is your village famous for?

For a long time they both thought about what was famous in the village, after they were just as

ordinary as other villages.

Husband : As far as we know, there is no advantage in that village, sir, teacher.

Asiyah : It's just that people who come often mention the word land tambi, and that
 Also the name they call our coffee shop.

Tuan Guru : Then your kamung name is Tambilahan, which means people The

descendants of Tambi were the first to clear the land.

S&A : Alhamdulillah, Thank you, teacher. Then we go home right away.

Assalamulaikum (while shaking hands)

Tuan teacher : waalaikum salam, be careful

The teacher indirectly gave appreciation to the Tambi couple because with their hard work they

had made the village many people visit. The husband and wife are very happy to hear the name

of the village they have so painstakingly pioneered is known as TAMBILAHAN.

Along their way back to their village, they repeatedly mentioned the name Tambilahan. And

everyone they meet they say tuang guru has given a name for their village. The couple proudly

said ADDITIONAL. Since then until now the name of the village pioneered by the Tambi couple

has been named TAMBILAHAN or TEMBILAHAN.

Moral message: This story illustrates that every job requires patience and hard work. Only

patient and hardworking people will find success.
