It is long trip there and we have difficulties in locating the correct Cemetary along Jalan Pontian Lama. But once we found the correct Cemetary, it is easy to find Habib Ahmad's resting place. We felt a great sense of peace and tranquility while we we there. May Allah s.w.t shower His Rahmat to our teacher, Habib Ahmad, and may he be with Rasulullah s.a.w upon entering the Jannah, Ameen.
To those who wants to ziarah him, these are the directions.
1. Get yourself to Bandar Batu Pahat (Batu Pahat City Centre)
2. Get to the one and only roundabout at the City Centre.
3. Exit the roundabout to a road that leads to Pontian (very important).
4. Travel along the road (about 10km down the road)
5. You will come across a Christian Cemetary on your right followed by an old Muslim cemetary on the left.
6. Further down there will be a relatively new School and just after the school is the new Muslim Cemetary on the right. In the foreground you can see Gunung Banang, a mountain in the Batu Pahat district.
7. His grave can be easily located among those who are buried in the same year. About 45 degrees from the Shelter (in the photos).

Me and Fazrihan were sharing our thoughts on the Hikmah why Habib Ahmad passed away and is buried far from his homeland. Here is what we can think of...
1. Habib Ahmad's students can be located far up north in Malaysia and also in Singapore. And so he is buried somewhere in between of North Malaysia and Singapore. It is then fair for his students that came from these two countries to visit him. (excellent thought from Fazrihan)
2. Habib Ahmad's grave is on permanent Wakaf land and insyaAllah will remain there till Kiamat comes. Unlike in Sngapore, where even graves can change places.
