HANG TUAH, HANG JEBAT VS ABU BAKAR, UMAR, USMAN DAN ALI...
CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE......Disebabkan adanya halangan dan tentangan, Islam menganjurkan umatnya supaya berjihad. Islam ajar umatnya berjihad kalau setiap pekerjaan ini boleh dilaksanakan tanpa halangan dan mudah.
Firman Allah SWT:
"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, bersabarlah kamu dan kuatkanlah kesabaran dan tetaplah bersiap-siaga (di perbatasan negerimu) dan bertakwalah kepada Allah SWT supaya kamu beruntung."
Firman Allah SWT:
"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, bersabarlah kamu dan kuatkanlah kesabaran dan tetaplah bersiap-siaga (di perbatasan negerimu) dan bertakwalah kepada Allah SWT supaya kamu beruntung."
Surah Ali Imran ayat 200
Kalau Islam semudah itu, apakah tujuan Allah SWT mengajar hamba-hamba-Nya supaya berjihad? Apakah tujuan Allah SWT mengajar hamba-Nya melawan nafsu?
Apa yang pasti, memartabatkan Islam bukanlah perkara yang mudah, malah digalangi dengan seribu satu kesusahan. Perkara ini dinyatakan sendiri oleh Allah SWT dalam Al-Quran.
"Kalau yang kamu serukan kepada mereka itu keuntungan yang mudah diperoleh dan perjalanan yang tidak seberapa jauh, pastilah mereka mengikutimu, tetapi tempat yang dituju itu amat jauh terasa oleh mereka."
Surah at-Taubah ayat 42
Oleh itu, melalui ajaran-ajaran begini, kita dapat fahami bahawa Islam bukan ajaran remeh. Dalam keadaan jerih-payah, kita perlu berhempas-pulas sehingga terpaksa mengorbankan harta benda dan nyawa, kita harus bersabar ketika sedang melaksanakan kerja-kerja Allah SWT.
Orang Melayu zaman dahulu taat melulu kepada sultan, dan sesiapa yang berani mencabar perintah sultan walaupun ia berunsurkan kezaliman akan terima padahnya. Timbullah cerita Hang Tuah yang begitu taat setia kepada rajanya, sedangkan Hang Jebat pula kitakan menderhaka. Hari ini, tukarkan pola pemikiran kita seratus peratus daripada Hang Jebat dan Hang Tuah*, kepada Saidina Abu Bakar ra, Umar ra, Usman ra, dan Ali ra. Barulah kita layak digelar Muslim dan bukan sekadar Melayu yang mudah lupa.
*Ideologi Hang Jebat dan Hang Tuah berbeza dengan pemikiran Abu Bakar dan Umar. Hang Tuah sanggup membunuh sahabatnya Hang Jebat yang dikatakan menderhaka kepada raja kerana tidak bersetuju dengan arahan raja membunuh Hang Tuah tanpa usul periksa terlebih dahulu. Saidina Abu Bakar ra dan Umar ra hanya mencari keredaan Allah SWT semata-mata, bahkan Saidina Abu Bakar ra, meminta kaum Muslimin mebetulkannya jika tindakannya menyalahi perintah Allah SWT dan ajaran Rasulullah SAW setelah diangkat menjadi khalifah umat Islam yang pertama.

2012 DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS DEBUNKED....
Apocalyse Not Now: 2012 Doomsday Predictions Debunked by NASAOn December 21, 2012, many doomsday believers fear the apocalyse - anything from a rogue planet smashing into us to our world spinning end over end. However, the world should expect nothing more next year than the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, NASA says.
Many people point to the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar on December 21, 2012 as evidence of the coming apocalyse, but astronomers have been quick to stress that there is nothing to be concerned about.
According to the ancient Mayan calendar, next year's winter solstice marks the end of a 144,000-day cycle. This cycle which begins as the mythical Maya creation date, has already been repeated 12 times. The 13th will end in 2012 capping a full 5,200-year Mayan cycle of creation.
This date has long been shrouded in mystery,with many claiming that it will bring destruction to our planet.
Rogue planet Nibiru?
One fear is that a rogue planet that has been dubbed "Nibiru" or "Planet X" is supposedly aimed at Earth. Self-proclaimed Nibiru expert Nancy Lieder, who says she is in contact with the aliens from Zeta Reticuli, first said Nibiru would cause widespread disaster in May 2003, only to change it to December 21, 2012.
There is, however, no evidence that Nibiru is real.
"Nibiru is ridiculous because it doesn't exist - it never existed as anything other than a figment of the imagination by pseudo-scientists who don't seem bothered by a complete lack of evidence, " astronomer Don Yeomans, manager of NASA'S Near-Earth Object program office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., told SPACE.com
There is no basis for the claim that it might be lurking behind the sun, as it could not have hidden from observation until now, Yeomans said. If such a planet was headed toward Earth by December 21, 2012, it would already be visible now, Yeomans said. If such a planet was headed toward Earth by December 21, 2012, it would already be visible to the naked eye.

JANGKAAN BERLAKU KIAMAT PADA TAHUN 2012?
Ramalan tarikh kiamat bukan perkara baru. Sudah sering kali penduduk dunia dimomokkan dengan ramalan-ramalan ini nanum ternyata dunia tetap hidup dengan pelbagai akitivitinya.Pada tahun 2009 dan 2010, ramalan perihal kiamat kedengaran lagi dan kali ini berdasarkan teori 'pengakhiran kalendar' kaum Maya, Mexico. Berpandukan kalendar kaum Maya, kiamat diramalkan akan berlaku pada 21 Disember 2012 dan sebuah filem mengenainya bertajuk 2012 diterbitkan di bawah arahan Roland Emmerich.
Disebabkan isu 2012 ini dikaitkan dengan fenomena alam, iaitu pada tarikh itu akan berlaku jajaran galaksi di mana sistem solar kita - matahari, bumi, bulan bersama planet-planet lain, akan berada pada garisan 'Galaktic Beam', sejajar dengan titik pusat galaksi, maka NASA terpaksa mengeluarkan kenyataannya. Para sudut sains astronomi, pakar-pakar mengesahkan penjajaran sistem solar yang dikatakan berlaku setiap 5,125 tahun, tidak akan berlaku pada tahun 2012.
Demikian juga dengan dakwaan Planet Nibiru atau Planet X akan melanggar bumi pada tahun 2012. Ini juga pembohongan dan tidak akan berlaku. Malah planet itu sebenarnya tidak wujud. Kisah planet ini dikaitkan dengan kisah-kisah dongeng kaum Sumeria pada zaman dahulu. Pada asalnya, ramalan yang mengatakan planet ini akan melanggar bumi pada bulan Mei 2003, dan selepas ia tidak menjadi kenyataan, diubah tarikhnya kepada Disember 2012.
Dalam Islam, kalendar kaum Maya dan pentafsiran atau persepsi manusia mengenainya bukannya kalam Tuhan, bukannya wahyu dan bukannya dalil bagi diimani. Demikian juga dengan filem 2012 ia bukan rujukan untuk kita. Apa yang jelas, pengarah filem 2012 mengaut keuntungan melebihi $769 juta dolar Amerika, mengikut en.wikipedia. org/wiki/2012_(film)
Dalam surah al-A'raf ayat 187, Allah berkata, "Mereka bertanya kepadamu (wahai Muhammad) mengenai hari kiamat, 'Bilakah masa datangnya?' Katakan, 'Sesungguhnya pengetahuan mengenainya hanya ada di sisi Tuhanku, tidak ada sesiapa pun yang dapat menerangkan kedatangannya pada waktunya melainkan Dia."

ONE YEAR OLDER!
Dear Readers,
'WITH ALL BEST WISHES FOR YEAR 2012'
The past is gone foreverEpisodes of the past are finished: former days are gone with, and you benefit nothing by carrying out an autopsy over them, by turning back the wheels of history.
Today is all that you haveWhen you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening - live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. Your life's span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainty. Live for today: During this day you should pray with a wakeful heart. Organise the hours of the day, so that you make years out of minutes and months out of seconds. Seek forgiveness from your Lord, remember Him, prepare for the final parting from this world, and live today happily and at peace. Be content with your sustenance, your wife, your children, your work, your house and your station in life.
Leave the future alone until it comes
The important thing to know is that tomorrow is from the world of the unseen, a bridge that we do not cross until it comes. Who knows, perhaps we might never reach the bridge, or the bridge might collapse before we reach it, or we may actually reach it and cross safely.
EDUCATION
First we shall want the pupil to understand, speak, read, and write his mother tongue well - H. G. Wells
Education should be a conscious, methodical application of the best means in the wisdom of the ages to the end that youth may know how to live completely - Austin O'Malley
Education should be a conscious, methodical application of the best means in the wisdom of the ages to the end that youth may know how to live completely - Austin O'Malley
The school should always have as its aim that the young man leave it as a harmonious personality, not as a specialist. This in my opinion is true in a certain sense even for technical schools...The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgement should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge. - Albert Einstein
