Cara Orang Melayu Dahulu Beraya



SEBELUM kedatangan sebarang agama ke Alam Melayu, penduduk di rantau ini seperti juga di lain-lain tempat di Asia Tenggara menganut kepercayaan alam roh, maknanya semua benda dipercayai ada roh, pokok, binatang dan lain-lain.

Maka roh paling utama ialah pada padi. Tanpa beras, orang Melayu akan mati.

Justeru perayaan paling besar tentunya ketika menyambut hari menuai padi. Seperti mana hari perayaan pribumi Sarawak, Sabah dan Orang Asli, maka begitu jugalah apa yang dilakukan oleh orang Melayu dan semua kaum di Nusantara.

Dipanggil sambutan ini sebagai Hari Raya kerana ia merujuk kepada kebesaran sesuatu perayaan. Ia merupakan hari meraikan atau merayakan kejayaan penanaman padi. Tetapi cara hidup orang Melayu kemudian berubah apabila mereka bukan saja menjadi masyarakat petani tetapi juga menjadi bangsa berdagang. Mereka mampu membina kapal-kapal besar untuk berlayar. Menjadi bangsa maritim bermula dengan keupayaan orang Melayu mewujudkan kerajaan di pesisiran pantai dan kuala sungai. Mereka membina pelabuhan bagi menarik kunjungan kapal-kapal dagang dari China, India, Parsi dan Arab.

Di sinilah munculnya kerajaan Sri Wijaya. Daripada kunjungan kapal-kapal ini, maka agama Hindu pun bertapak di alam Melayu. Sebagai bangsa maritim, orang Melayu sudah tidak lagi menyambut hari menuai sebagai hari kebesarannya yang utama. Dengan beragama Hindu, orang Melayu turut menyambut hari Perayaan Cahaya mengatasi Kegelapan. Dalam sambutan Diwali atau Deepavali, lampu-lampu dipasang di keliling rumah. Suatu amalan Hari Raya yang kini sudah menjadi sebahagian daripada budaya Melayu.

Merantau

Orang Melayu kuat merantau. mereka berlayar di sekitar kepulauan Melayu. Walaupun terdiri daripada banyak kerajaan, tetapi Nusantara adalah Dunia Melayu.

Maka setiap Hari Raya, mereka akan balik ke kampung halaman seboleh mungkin untuk menemui ibu, bapa dan sanak saudara. Amalan balik kampung menjadi suatu kemestian semasa Hari Raya kini terus diamalkan oleh orang Melayu.

Tetapi menarik untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah orang Melayu menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri ketika mula memeluk agama Islam.

Cuba bayangkan bagaimana orang Melayu zaman kesultanan Melaka menyambut Hari Raya. Lebih-lebih lagi pada tahun pertama mereka memeluk Islam. Tentu sukar bagi istana Melaka, apatah lagi rakyatnya berpuasa.

Bagaimanakah pihak istana membuat keputusan untuk menjadikan Hari Raya Aidilfitri sebagai Hari Raya bagi orang Melayu? Mengapa mereka memilih Hari Raya Puasa dan bukannya Hari Raya Haji?

Dalam ibadat, dikatakan orang Melayu lebih menekankan tentang puasa berbanding ibadat lain. Pendakwah berjaya meyakinkan keseluruhan masyarakat Melayu supaya berpuasa, bertarawih dan mengharapkan Lailatul Qadar. Maka Hari Raya menjadi begitu bermakna bagi orang Melayu dengan dikaitkan dengan kejayaan beribadat puasa.

Pada Hari Raya pula, ulama Melayu dahulu membuat keputusan untuk mengambil takbir raya yang bernada syahdu. Ini kerana di lain-lain tempat, takbir mereka bernada semangat juang. Ini kerana takbir itu berasal daripada laungan semasa Perang Badar, yang kemudian diabadikan dalam sambutan meraikan kemenangan perang itu.

Tetapi bagi orang Melayu di Nusantara, nada takbir adalah berbentuk sayu dan sedih mengenangkan sanak saudara yang sudah tiada atau pergi tidak kembali. Ini kerana bagi masyarakat Melayu, balik kampung waktu Hari Raya adalah penting. Jika tidak dapat balik, maka si ibu atau bapa akan teringatkan anaknya terutama semasa takbir yang bernada sedih dan sayu.

FAKTA AIR ZAMZAM















Adakah kita tahu mukjizat Zamzam??

Paras air Zamzam adalah sekitar 10,6 kaki di bawah permukaan. Ia adalah keajaiban Allah bahawa apabila Zam Zam telah dipam secara berterusan
untuk lebih daripada 24 jam dengan kadar mengepam 8,000 liter per kedua, paras air menurun kepada hampir 44 kaki di bawah permukaan,

TETAPI APABILA.....

Apabila pengepaman dihentikan, tahap serta-merta dinaikkan semula kepada 13 kaki selepas 11 minit. 8,000 liter sesaat bermakna bahawa 8000 x 60 = 480,000 liter
seminit 480.000 liter setiap minit bermakna bahawa 480,000 x 60 = 28,8 Juta liter sejam Dan 28,8 Juta liter jam bermakna 28800000 x 24 = 691,2 Juta liter sehari
Jadi 690 Juta liter Zamzam di pam dalam masa 24 jam, tetapi ia telah dibekalkan semula dalam 11 minit sahaja.

Terdapat 2 mukjizat di sini ;

1. Zamzam diisi semula dengan segera
2. Allah tidak membuang tambahan Zamzam daripada naik, jika tidak dunia akan tenggelam.

Ia adalah terjemahan perkataan Zamzam , yang bermakna Henti!!!!!!! Berhenti!!!!!!!!!

Dalam Arab, ia adalah tali / mengekang dilampirkan kepada melenting atau noseband & ia adalah digunakan / ditarik untuk menghentikan laran haiwan.

Air Zamzam ♥ tidak mempunyai warna atau bau, tetapi ia mempunyai rasa yang berbeza.

NASIHAT KEPADA PENGGUNA i-RAKYAT SUPAYA BERWASPADA TERHADAP PENIPUAN INTERNET BANKING



Impak Penipuan Internet Banking
Pengguna kehilangan wang deposit tanpa disedari dan akaun pengguna dijadikan pengantara atau mule untuk money laundering.

Modus Operandi – Phishing Melalui E-Mel

Pengguna menerima e-mel daripada fraudster yang seolah-olah datang daripada Bank Rakyat, di mana pengguna diperdaya untuk mendedahkan maklumat peribadi atau internet banking dengan menghubungi nombor telefon yang diberikan (bukan nombor Bank Rakyat) atau klik pautan (hyperlink) ke laman web palsu (URL selain https://www.irakyat.com.my/).

Contohnya, pengguna menerima e-mel yang mendakwa dihantar oleh pihak Bank Rakyat, atau daripada pihak berkuasa seperti Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), yang mengatakan bahawa:

1. Maklumat peribadi diperlukan oleh pihak berkuasa, seperti Polis, Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri, BNM dan lain-lain untuk tujuan semakan atau siasatan.

2. Akaun internet banking pengguna telah dicerobohi dan pelanggan perlu memberikan ID, password dan maklumat peribadi kepada Bank untuk tujuan semakan.
3. Memerlukan pengguna memberi pengesahan terhadap maklumat peribadi, nombor akaun, ID dan password.

Langkah Pencegahan
1. Jangan bertindak balas terhadap e-mel dan nombor telefon yang telah diberikan, kerana ia adalah palsu. Jika terdapat keraguan, terus hubungi pihak Bank, iaitu cawangan atau Pusat Panggilan (nombor telefon: 1-300-88-12265 dan e-mel telerakyat@bankrakyat.com.my).

2. Jangan klik hyperlink yang diberikan oleh pihak ketiga untuk pergi ke laman web i-Rakyat, tetapi taip sendiri URL/alamat laman web https://www.irakyat.com.my/ atau simpan di favourite web browser.

3. Pastikan ada logo mangga (padlock) pada status bar browser sebelum login kepada akaun i-Rakyat/internet banking. Ia menunjukkan kewujudan sijil yang mengiktirafkan bahawa laman web tersebut boleh dipercayai. Laman web internet banking yang palsu tiada padlock dan sijil tersebut.

Top 10 Deadliest Wars In Human History

  
One thing that the human kind was doing from the beginning of time is fighting with each other. Many times the fighting got out of hand and consumed the innocent people. Here is a list we compiled of the ten deadliest wars ever. These figures of one million or more deaths include the deaths of civilians from diseases, famine, etc., as well as deaths of soldiers in battle and possible massacres and genocide.

10Second Congo War

Location: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Year: 1998-2003
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 3,800,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 5,400,000
Percent Of The World: 0.06%–0.09%

The largest war in modern African history, it directly involved eight African nations, as well as about 25 armed groups. By 2008 the war and its aftermath had killed 5.4 million people, mostly from disease and starvation, making the Second Congo War the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II. Millions more were displaced from their homes or sought asylum in neighboring countries.


9Russian Civil War

Location: Russia
Year: 1917-1921
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 9,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 5,000,000
Percent Of The World: 0.28%–0.5%

The Russian Civil War  was a multi-party war that occurred within the former Russian Empire after the Russian provisional government collapsed to the Soviets, under the domination of the Bolshevik party. Soviet forces first assumed power in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) and subsequently gained control throughout Russia.


8Dungan Revolt

Location: China
Year: 1862-1877
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 12,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 8,000,000
Percent Of The World: 0.6%–0.9%

The uprising was chaotic and often involved warring factions of bands and military leaders with no goal or purpose, merely to fight, on the western bank of the Yellow River. A common misconception is that it was directed against the Qing Dynasty, but there is no evidence at all showing that they intended to attack the capital of Beijing. When that rebellion failed, mass emigration of the Dungan people into Imperial Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan ensued.


 7Conquests of Timur

Location: Middle East, India, Central Asia, Russia
Year: 1369-1405
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 20,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 15,000,000
Percent Of The World: 3.4%–4.5%

Timur was in his lifetime a controversial figure, and remains so today. He sought to restore the Mongol Empire, yet his heaviest blow was against the Islamized Tatar Golden Horde. He was more at home in an urban environment than on the steppe. He styled himself a ghazi while conducting wars that severely affected some Muslim states, for example the Ottoman Empire. A great patron of the arts, his campaigns also caused vast destruction.


6World War I

Location: Worldwide
Year: 1914-1918
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 65,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 15,000,000
Percent Of The World: 0.8%–3.6%

World War I was a major war centered in Europe that began in the summer of 1914 and lasted until November 1918. It involved all of the world’s great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, largely because of great technological advances in firepower without corresponding advances in mobility.


5Taiping Rebellion


Location: China
Year: 1851-1864
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 30,000,000+
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 20,000,000
Percent Of The World: 1.6%–2.1%

The Taiping Rebellion was a widespread civil war in southern China from 1850 to 1864, led by heterodox Christian convert Hong Xiuquan, who having received visions, maintained that he was the younger brother of Jesus Christ against the ruling Manchu-led Qing Dynasty. About 20 million people died, mainly civilians, in one of the deadliest military conflicts in history.


4Qing Dynasty conquest of the Ming Dynasty


Location: China
Year: 1616-1662
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 25,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 25,000,000
Percent Of The World: 4.8%

The Qing Dynasty also known as the Manchu Dynasty, was the last dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. It was preceded by the Ming Dynasty and followed by the Republic of China. The dynasty was founded by the Manchu clan Aisin Gioro in modern northeast China. Starting in 1644 it expanded into China proper and its surrounding territories, establishing the Empire of the Great Qing. Complete pacification of China was accomplished around 1683 under the Kangxi Emperor.


3 Mongol Conquests


Location: Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East
Year: 1207-1472
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 60,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 30,000,000
Percent Of The World: 7.5%–17.1%

The Mongol Empire initially named as Greater Mongol State was a great empire during the 13th and 14th centuries. Beginning in the Central Asian steppes, it eventually stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, covered Siberia in the north and extended southward into Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and the Middle East. It is commonly referred to as the largest contiguous empire in the history of the world. At its greatest extent it spanned 6,000 mi (9,700 km), covered an area of 33,000,000 km2 (12,700,000 sq mi), 22% of the Earth’s total land area, and held sway over a population of 100 million.


2An Lushan Rebellion



Location: China
Year: 755-763
Highest Estimate (Deaths): 36,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths): 33,000,000
Percent Of The World: 14.0%–15.3%

The An Lushan Rebellion took place in China during the Tang Dynasty, from December 16, 755 to February 17, 763. An Lushan, an ex-Tang general, declared himself emperor, establishing the rival Yan Dynasty in Northern China. The rebellion spanned the reign of three Tang emperors before it was quashed. During that time, the registered population declined by up to 36 million, though most of this was due to the breakdown of the census system during the war.


1World War II


Location: Worldwide
Year: 1939-1945
Highest Estimate (Deaths):72,000,000
Lowest Estimate (Deaths):40,000,000
Percent Of The World: 1.7%–3.1%


World War II was a global military conflict lasting from 1939 to 1945, which involved most of the world’s nations, including all of the great powers: eventually forming two opposing military alliances, the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million military personnel mobilized. In a state of “total war,” the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it was the deadliest conflict in human history, resulting in 50 million to over 70 million fatalities.
