英文原文

Around the historically-rich Wasini Island are five mosques, three of which are still in use, associated tombs, and the ruins of a few stone houses. Prom west to east the mosques are: Msikiti wa Mira Mwiyuni, Msikiti Mdogo, Msikiti wa Ijumaa, Msikiti wa Kale, and the Msikiti wa Mgodo. The western mosque, Msikiti wa Mira Mwiyuni, was said to have been built by one Mkulu wa Mwenyi Mkuu of the al-Ba Urii family; said to have come from Pate. At the southwest corner of the mosque are six tombs, cited to be those of the Mkulu wa Mwenyi Mkuu and his family.

The eastern mosque, Msikiti wa Mgodo, like Msikiti wa Mira Mwiyuni, is said to have been built by Mkulu wa Mwenyi Mkuu. The other unused mosque at Wasini, Msikiti wa Kale, is now in ruins. It is thought to have been built by the agent of Ahmed bin Muhammad, the Mazrui governor of Mombasa. Msikiti wa Ijumaa was built by Diwan Hasan, the son of Diwan Ruga, and completed in 1161 or 1162. Also of interest, near the seafront, is the grave of Laarus, who is reported to have been considered a wizard and at whose grave the Wadigo were said to pray for rain.

Laarus is remembered in other forums as a religious man, and a leper, to whom people, mostly sailors, would go and ask him to pray for them or their problems. The grave has short pillars on the east and west, with central wall monuments on the side walls and step ends at the corners with conical finials on top on the east end and cylindrical finials on the west. Its facades are decorated with blue and white bowls and plates. At hand there’s a tombstone at a grave that’s dated 1279.

There are dozens of well-studied and accessible historic sites along the Kenya’s Coast. Some of the historic sites located here are composed of the old settlement towns and outlying groups of tombs. North to South, the coast is awash with a collection of ruins, found mainly along the beach, many of them on private lands.
