Sejarah orang Yahudi di Palestin.

Assalamualaikum,

Satu persoalan ditanyakan tentang orang-orang Yahudi di Mesir. Mereka
ini menjadi mangsa kezaliman Fir'aun tetapi tidak mahu keluar dari
Mesir sehingalah dalam keadaan terpaksa. Kemudian mereka tersesat dan
akhirnya bertaburan ke seluruh dunia..

Apakah cerita sebenarnya?

Nabi Ya'akub as ketika berusia 130 tahun berhijrah ke Mesir bersama 70
orang anak dan cucu beliau. Ketika itu anaknya Yusuf As telah dilantik
menjadi menteri di Mesir. Bani Israel (keturunan Yaakub as) berada di
Mesi selama 430 tahun. Bani Israel kemudiannya menjadi golongan hamba
kepada Firaun. Mereka keluar meninggalkan Mesir di bawah pimpinan Musa
dan Harun as. Terbahagi dalam 12 suku. Mereka engkar lalu Allah SWT
menjadikan mereka berlegar-legar selama 40 tahun. Apabila Nabi Musa AS
wafat mereka masih belum memasuki Palestin. Nabi Musa as wafat di
timur Jordan. Pemimpin Bani Israel yang membawa mereka masuk ialah
Yusha'. Pada zaman Nabi Yusha mereka diperintah oleh para hakim selama
200 tahun. Ini diikuti dengan zaman Saul, Daud as dan Sulaiman as.
Selepas Nabi Sulaiman as, bani Israel pecah dua dan berperang. Ini
diikuti dengan serangan Babylon dan Assyria yang disebut oleh al Quran
sebagai kemusnahan pertama. Kemusnahan Baitul Maqdis berlaku pada 587
SM. Baitul Maqdis dibina semula pada zaman Nabi zakaria dan Yahya as.
Ini diikuti oleh penguasaan Rum. Nabi Yahya as dibunuh dan akhirnya
rabbi Yahudi bersekongkol dengan penguasa Rum cuba membunuh Nabi Isa
as. Ini diikuti dengan pemberontakan orang Yahudi yang membawa kepada
kumusnahan B.Maqdis kedua oleh Rum, Sejak dari zaman itu mereka
dihalau dan tidak dibenarkan memasuki Baitul Maqdis sehinggalah
B.Maqdis diistiharkan open city oleh Sy Umar al Khattab pada tahun 636
M.

Demikian secara rengkas sejarah orang Yahudi di Palestin.

An accident...

Firstly, Is "yeah" a proper english word?

Last Wednesday one of my roommates had an accident. He was on the road, walking to his University when suddenly a car hit him from the back. He wasn't aware of aware of the car behind him. It's a one way road (60th Street) so you only look at the direction where the cars are coming from but this particular driver did not follow the rule! He decided to take a "shortcut" and was too busy looking out for the police that he did not notice my friend and BAM!! No serious injuries though, only some bruises here and there, a few stitches and a swollen right foot.

The worst thing is that after the accident the driver took my friend into his car and went to his OFFICE!!! Later, my friend took another taxi to the hospital and received treatment. The driver who hit my friend "disappeared" along with his car. Still looking for him..

The past few days I've been the one taking care of him too (since I'm at the hostel most of the time). Yesterday we went to the hospital to change his bandages and going again on Thursday.

I guess that's all for now.. Till next time..


يوم الاربعاء الماضي واحدة من بلدي الحجرة وكان مجرد حادث. كان على الطريق ، والمشي لجامعة فجأة سيارة عندما ضربه من الخلف. انه ليس على علم علم السيارة خلفه. انه طريق واحد لذلك إلا أن ننظر إلى اتجاه فيه السيارات القادمة من السائق ولكن هذا لم يتبع القاعدة! قرر اتخاذ "اختصار" مشغول جدا ويبحث عن الشرطة انه لم يلاحظ صديقي والسوق! وإن أي إصابات خطيرة ، سوى بعض الكدمات هنا وهناك ، بعض الغرز وتورم في القدم اليمنى.

أسوأ شيء هو أن بعد الحادث السائق أخذ صديقي سيارته وتوجه الى مكتبه! في وقت لاحق ، صديقي أخرى سيارة أجرة إلى المستشفى وتلقى العلاج. السائق الذي ضرب صديقي "اختفى" مع سيارته. ولا تزال تبحث عنه..

الأيام القليلة الماضية ، كنت واحدة ، مع إيلاء عناية خاصة جدا له (انا منذ نزل في معظم الأحيان). أمس ذهبنا الى المستشفى لتغيير الضمادات والذهاب مرة أخرى يوم الخميس.

Pada hari Rabu yang lepas salah satu dari rakan bilik saya dari asrama kena langgar kereta.. Nasib baik lah tak ada apa2 sangat.. Camnih crita dia:

Seperti biasa dia pagi2 lagi sudah keluar menuju ke Universiti Iman. Tetapi pada pagi ini malang tidak berbau - Seorang pemandu teksi (yang entah nak pergi mana) melanggar peraturan jalan demi menjimat minyak (maklumlah "mahal" sangat minyak kat sni, sebenarnye murah sangat). Sebab dia melanggar peraturan pada waktu itu dia pun sibuk memandang ke arah2 yang berlainan kalau2 ada Polis (polis sini tak main saman, tapi "rasuah"..kalau kena tangkap dia minta memang banyak ah) dan tak nampak kawan saya didepan (nama dia Ziqry), dan dia pun terlanggarlah kawan saya nih..

Lepas langgar dia pun terus bawa Ziqry pergi ke PEJABAT DIA!!! Cermin depan kereta pecah, pergi la buat insurans cepat2... Ziqry pun ambik teksi lain ke hospital.. Alhamdulillah tak ada apa2 sangat, cuma luka sikit2 sini sana & kaki yang bengkak (petang nih kena urut ngn budak Indon). Yang menjaga dia ialah saya..

Hari Sabtu lepas kita pergi tukar balutan, nti lusa kena pergi lagi...
Itu je ah..

(camne?? ok x? hahah.. klakar kan?)

"Summary"

Salam.. Long time no post.. I don't really know what to write, that's why..
(this is a post dedicated to my friend Zikry El-Yemeni)

I've been here for about a month I guess.

Aside from doing my Tahfiz I am also helping my mum with her work here. My step-dad has his own hospital called CPLAS for I.V.F, plastic surgery (and anything related to make yourself beautiful). Right now, he's building a new 10-storey building next to the current hospital building. And on the toppest floor will be OUR apartment (There'll be a pool, jacuzzi, sauna at LG level!! HEHEHE!!). Insha Allah my mum and sisters will be moving here as soon as possible :) (but I will be going back to Malaysia to continue my studies once I finished my Tahfiz here =s)

However, the old engineer build the new building in a messy way and the new engineer designs are not that nice and are not suitable for a hospitals (he changed the enginner in the middle of the process I guess). So, my mum is working with an engineer in Malaysia to improvise the new building. My job is to take pictures of some parts of the building which the engineer in Malaysia need, get the building plan, plumbing and electric plan and send it to my mum through email.

It is kinda frustrating working with them.. Things not ready eventhough I gave a few days of notice.

And once again I am teaching english here, but this time to a Yemeni and it's more to correcting his pronounciation. His name is Amin. And he has a problem with my extra finger! He always talk of cutting it! Saying that it would be better if I had only 5.. huh.. If I wanted to then I would have done it a long time ago.. BUT I DON'T WANT TO!! and he keeps repeating it every time our class ends and every time we meet.. huh.>_<. He says people usually cut it and I'd say it's up to them but I don't want + I know some people who has extra finger/fingers but keeps it.. We have the same argument everyday, everytime..

And he talks of cutting it as though it's so easy.. He'll buy a knife, tranquilizer, bandage, (rope - to tie me up so that I can't run away), oil (????), (the thing that doctors use to do injections..what is it called??)..
1st - inject me, put oil around the place that he's going to cut..
2nd - cut it (he makes it sound as though he's gonna cut/slice vegetables/meat..it's not like there's no bone in my extra finger!)
3- bandage the part that was cut..
4- bury it..

Whatever it is, I'm not going to cut it!!!

wOw..quite a long one..
Will try to post more in the near future..
