Sejarah Ka'abah SEJARAH KA'BAH YG TAK PERNAH DICERITAKAN Jangan mengira bahwa bangunan Ka’bah yang sekarang ada di Mekah adalah bangunan yang sama yang ada di jaman Muhammad di abad ke 7 Masehi. Denah Ka'bah: SEJARAH BONGKAR PASANG KA’BAH 1 2 http://www.buktisaksi.com Pembangunan ulang Ka'bah oleh pagan Quraish: Muhammad berpartisipasi dalam pembangunan kembali Ka’bah sebelum dia mengklaim dirinya sendiri sebagai nabi. Setelah banjir hebat --rumah auwloh kebanjiran-- Ka’bah jadi rusak dan temboknya retak. Harus dibangun lagi nih. Kewajiban membangun Ka’bah dibagi diantara 4 suku Quraish. Muhammad ikut dalam pembangunan ini. Ketika tembok-tembok sudah dibangun sebagian, maka dimasukkanlah Batu Hitam (al-Hajar al-Aswad) di bagian tembok sebelah timur Ka’bah. Karena suku Quraish tidak punya cukup dana, mereka tidak membangun kembali seluruh Ka’bah. Karena itulah bentuknya jadi bujur sangkar dan tidak serupa dengan bentuk aslinya yang pesegi panjang. Daerah bagian dasar Ka’bah yang tidak dibangun kembali disebut Hatim. Pembangunan Kembali Ka’bah oleh Abdullah ibn Zubair: Tentara Syria pimpinan Yazid menghancurkan rumah auwloh Ka’bah di bulan Muharram 64 Hijrah, setahun setelah dia membantai keluarga Muhammad di Karbala. Akan tetapi, jangan khawatir, sebab Haj Abdullah ibn Zubair (saingan Kalifah Bani Umayyah) membangun kembali Ka’bah dari dasar. Ibn Zubair ingin membangun Ka’bah persis seperti yang diinginkan Muhammad. Ibn Zubair berkata, “Aku mendengar Aisyah (bini muda Ukuran dan pembangunan kembali Ka'bah: kesayangan Muhammad) berkata, “Sang Nabi berkata:”Jika orang- Ukuran tinggi Ka’bah yang ada saat ini adalah 39 kaki 6 inci (kira- orangmu tidak baru saja meninggalkan kepercayaan paganmu, dan kira 11 meter;1 kaki = 12 inci = 30 cm), dan ukuran total adalah jika aku punya cukup dana untuk membangun Ka’bah, aku akan 627 kaki persegi. Ukuran dalam Ka’bah adalah 42,64x29,52 kaki tambahkan beberapa kaki di atasnya dari Hijr. Juga, aku akan (atau kira-kira 12,7x8,85 m). Tebal tembok adalah 3,26 kaki (kira2 pasang dua pintu; satu pintu agar orang-orang dapat masuk ke 97,8 cm). Lantai di bagian dalam lebih tinggi 7,22 kaki (kira2 2,1m) dalam dan pintu satunya lagi untuk ke luar.” (Bukhari). Ibn Zubair dari dasar tanah di mana orang-orang melakukan Tawaf. berkata, “Hari ini, aku punya dana untuk melakukan itu dan aku Langit-langit dan atap terbuat dari kayu teak yang ditutup dengan tidak takut akan orang-orang.” baja stainless. Tembok terbuat dari batu. Batu-batu bagian dalam Ibn Zubair membangun atap di tiga pilar dengan kayu Aoud (kayu tidak dipoles, sedangkan bagian luar dipoles. wangi Arabia). Dia meletakkan dua pintu, satu menghadap timur dan Para ahli sejarah berkata bahwa Ka’bah dibangun kembali berkali-kali satu lagi menghadap barat, sama seperti apa yang diinginkan sekitar lima sampai 12 kali. Ukuran pertama Ka’bah di jaman Muhammad dulu. Muhammad adalah: Dia juga membangun daerah Hateem yang terletak di sekitar Ka’bah ▪ tembok timur 48 kaki, 6 inci (berisi batu hitam) yang dikelilingi oleh tembok rendah separuh lingkaran. ▪ tembok Hateem berukuran 33 kaki Ibn Zubair juga meletakkan empat pilar di sekeliling Ka’bah dan ▪ sisi tembok antara batu hitam dan sudut Yemeni adalah 30 kaki menggantungkan kain di atasnya sampai seluruh bangunan selesai ▪ tembok barat 46.5 kaki dibangun. Pembangunan Kembali Ka’bah di Jaman Abdul Malik: INILAH DAFTAR BONGKAR PASANG KA’BAH Di tahun 74H (693M) Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf al-Thaqafi, atas persetujuan Kalifah Bani Umayyah bernama Abdul Malik menghancurkan apa 3 4 http://www.buktisaksi.com yang dibangun Ibn Zubair. Dia mengembalikan struktur bangunan persis seperti yang ada di jaman pagan Quraish. Inilah perubahan yang dilakukannya: 1. Ka’bah diperkecil jadi sama ukurannya dengan yang ada saat ini 2. Membongkar Hatim 3. Menutup pintu barat dengan tembok 4. Meruntuhkan tembok di daerah Hatim 5. Membuang tangga kayu yang ditempatkan Ibn Zubair di dalam Ka’bah 6. Mengurangi ketinggian pintu sampai 7 kaki Struktur ini tetap sama selama 966 tahun, dengan perubahan kecil di sana sini. Pembangunan Kembali Ka’bah di Jaman Sultan Murad: Di tahun 1039H (1629 Masehi), lagi-lagi rumah auwloh kebanjiran, melanda sehingga dua tembok bagian timur dan barat Ka’bah rubuh. Kejadian ini terjadi di 19 Sha’ban tahun 1039H. Banjir mencapai ketinggian 10 kaki (3m) dari tanah. Apa sih isi dalam Ka’bah? Setelah usai banjir, maka Ka’bah dibangun kembali di bawah Ketua Islamic Society of North America (ISNA = Masyarakat Islam pengawasan Sultan Murad. Bentuknya persis sama dengan Ka’bah di Amerika Utara) punya kesempatan masuk ke dalam Ka’bah di tahun jaman Quraish sebelum Muhammad mengklaim dirinya sendiri 1998. Inilah keterangannya: sebagai nabi. ▪ di dalamnya terdapat dua pilar (orang lain menyebut 3 pilar). ▪ ada meja untuk meletakkan parfum. Pembangunan Kembali Ka’bah di tahun 1996: ▪ terdapat dua lampu lentera yang digantungkan dari langit-langit. Bongkar pasang besar-besaran dilakukan terhadap Ka’bah dari bulan ▪ ruangan cukup untuk menampung 50 orang. Mei 1996 sampai Oktober 1996. Ini dilakukan setelah 400 tahun ▪ tidak ada lampu listrik di bagian dalam. Ka’bah dibangun kembali oleh Sultan Murad. ▪ tembok dan lantai terbuat dari marmer. Dalam pembangunan kembali kali ini, bagian yang masih asli ▪ tidak ada jendela di bagian dalam. hanyalah batu-batu Ka’bah saja. Semua bagian lainnya diganti, ▪ hanya ada satu pintu. termasuk bagian langit-langit dan atapnya yang terbuat dari kayu. ▪ bagian atas tembok-tembok di bagian dalam ditutupi gorden. Jangan pula mengira bangunan kotak keramat itu adalah asli dari budaya Islam. Lihatlah batu kotak yang dibangun untuk makam keramat para Kaisar Persia di abad ke 5 5 6 http://www.buktisaksi.com Masih ada lagi nih kotak-kotak batu Jin yang banyak terdapat di kota kuno Petra di sebelum Masehi ini: Yordania: Kotak batu ini melambangkan Dewa Dushara yang disembah masyarakat kuno Nabasia. Kemudian ini lagi bangunan masyarakat kuno Nabasia penyembah dewi Al Uzza di Timur Mirip, bukan? Budaya Persia merupakan budaya terunggul di Timur Tengah sampai pertengahan abad Masehi. Jadi tidak heran jika pengaruh budayanya menyebar ke mana-mana dan bentuk makam keramat ini lalu ditiru oleh masyarakat Timur Tengah, termasuk masyarakat pagan Tengah: Quraish. Kotak tempat dewa nih. Sama seperti Ka'bah tempat dewa bulan Allah ta-alla. 7 8 http://www.buktisaksi.com Belum lagi dewa-dewa kotak yang ini: Dewa bulan beserta lambang bulan sabitnya dari Mesir: 9 10 http://www.buktisaksi.com Dewa bulan = dewa perang. Penyembahan terhadap dewa bulan merupakan hal biasa dalam masyarakat kuno Timur Tengah dan hal ini sudah berlangsung sejak jaman Abraham (kira-kira 4.000 tahun sebelum Masehi). 11 12 http://www.buktisaksi.com Yang ini kuil Dewa Bulan dari Wahai, non-Muslim, jangan pernah terjebak dan masuk Islam, ya? Menurut Ensiklopedia Britannica and Ensiklopedia Islamia, masyarakat Arab tidak mencatat sejarah mereka sendiri sebelum jaman Islam. Anehnya, mereka bahkan menyebut jaman Mesir: itu sebagai jaman jahiliyah yang penuh nista dan kegelapan. Mungkin tiada satu pun negara di dunia yang terang-terangan Yang ini kuil Dewa Bulan dari Yemen: menghapus sejarahnya sendiri selama 2.500 tahun dengan secara sistematis menghancurkan segala yang berhubungan dengan masa lalu. Mereka telah menghapus segala kenangan era sebelum Islam dalam benak mereka. Jika mereka memilih untuk jadi bodoh dan tidak tahu apa-apa tentang masa lalu mereka, maka sungguh ironis bahwasanya mereka menuduh jaman sebelum Islam sebagai jaman bodoh dan tidak tahu apa-apa. 13 14 http://www.buktisaksi.com ISRA MIRAJ: MENUTUPI BUKTI ZINAH MUHAMMAD DGN UMM HANI PERJALANAN KE SURGA TINGKAT TUJUH DARI RUMAH JANDA Untungnya, kita masih bisa menelusuri jaman sebelum Islam di Arabia. Pepatah terkanal mengatakan bahwa tidak mungkin bisa menghilangkan segala bukti. Sejarah Arab pra-Islam ternyata penuh (MUHAMAD BERZINAH LAGI!) dengan sejarah pagan yang juga merupakan asal-usul terbentuknya Islam. Sekarang kau tahu dari mana tuh asal lambang bulan sabit dan mengapa bulan sedemikian pentingnya dalam budaya Islam. Jangan lagi mengira bangunan Ka'bah dan lambang bulan sabit merupakan lambang asli Islam, ya? Malu dong kalau sampai sebodoh ahun 620M, saat Muhamad masih menjaga 'low profile' di badui Arab sehingga dapat dikadalin Muhammad. Mekah, dikatakan bahwa -karena alasan tidak jelas- ia suatu malam ada di rumah saudara sepupunya, Umm Hani. T Ia janda yg suaminya mati saat pasangan itu tinggal di Abyssinia. Pd tengah malam, malaikat Jibril datang dan "mendepaknya dgn kakinya" (Martin Lings, op.cit. p.101). Muhamad- pun bangun dan ia langsung ditransport ke Yerusalem menaiki "kuda bersayap dgn wajah wanita dan ekor burung merak," yg disebut dgn Buraq. Saat disana, Muhamad mengikat sang Burraq disebuah tiang dan setelah itu memimpin doa dgn nabi-nabi jaman dulu, termasuk Adam, di tempat suci yg dinamakan the "Dome of the Rock." 15 16 http://www.buktisaksi.com Para penafsir Islam mengatakan bahwa tempat suci itu masih dlm juga ditemukan di kumpulan naskah Qumran, adalah kitab bentuk puing sejak 40 tahun naiknya Kristus ke surga sampai jaman Apocrypha Yahudi atau Pseudogrypha atau Kitab yang tidak diakui Kalif Omar (634-644) yg merestorasinya kedalam bentuk aslinya. sebagai sebagai kitab kanon oleh orang Yahudi (juga Kristen), yang Bgmn Omar memiliki design orisinal tempat suci itu merupakan isinya menceritakan kenaikan nabi Idris (Enoch). Sebagai bacaan dan sebuah misteri yg belum terjawab. cerita, buku kisah Enoch tsb cukup digemari oleh orang Kristen abad- abad pertama sampai ke empat. Ttg masalah moralitas, para pengritik mempertanyakan tujuan Muhamad sampai saat tengah malam masih berada disebuah rumah seorang janda (yg bukan muhrimnya), yg tinggal sendirian, dan keputusan Tuhan utk mengundangnya ke surgaNya dari rumah sang KRONOLOGI ISRA MIRAJ MUHAMMAD janda, dan bukan dari rumahnya sendiri. Nampaknya Muhamad menciptakan cerita Isra Miraj itu utk mengalihkan perhatian dari kehadirannya di rumahnya Umm Hani. Muhammad didatangi Jibril. Kemudian dengan menaiki Buraq Walau orang Mekah dulu pemeluk polytheis, mereka sangat menghormati rekan-rekan mereka yg telah meninggal dan tidak akan .

  • Quantitative Groundwater Resources Evaluation in the Lower Part of Yalamlam Basin, Makkah Al Mukarramah, Western Saudi Arabia
    JKAU: Earth Sci., Vol.19, pp: 35-56 (2008 A.D. / 1429 A.H.) Quantitative Groundwater Resources Evaluation in the Lower Part of Yalamlam Basin, Makkah Al Mukarramah, Western Saudi Arabia Tariq H. Bayumi Hydrogeology Department, Faculty of Earth Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Received: 26/11/2006 Accepted: 6/6/2007 Abstract. The search for and the development of new water resources in Makkah Al Mukarramah area are considered among the top priorities for the Saudi government as the water consumption is rising with time. Wadi Yalamlam is located 70 km south of Makkah. It drains a large catchment area of 1,600 km2, which is characterized by a high rate of annual rainfall of more than 200 mm. Perennial streams flow along the main channel of the wadi most of the year. This research is aimed to study the water resources in the lower part of Wadi Yalamlam as additional strategic future water supply to Makkah city. The research includes hydrological, hydrogeological and geophysical investigations for determining the potential areas for fresh water sources. It is also concerned with the determination of the geometrical size and the hydraulic properties of the groundwater aquifer in Wadi Yalamlam in order to determine the available water reserves. The study indicates the possibility of drilling 14 water wells for producing a renewable amount of 7500 m3/day to supply Makkah area, in addition to 9x106 m3 reserves in this basin. Keywords: Arid Region, Groundwater, Water supply, Water reserves, Makkah Area, Saudi Arabia. Introduction Saudi Arabia has very limited water resources most of which are in the form of groundwater reserves, being located in an arid zone, where no perennial streams exist.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Restoration of Mangrove Vegetation at Red Sea Coast, Saudi Arabia
    Indian Journal of Geo Marine Sciences Vol. 48 (11), November 2019, pp. 1755-1760 Restoration of mangrove vegetation at Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia Sambhu Chithambaran Department of Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia [E-mail: [email protected]] Received 2 May 2018 ; revised 4 June 2018 An attempt was carried out to restore mangrove forests as coastal bioshield at the shoreline of Al-Sharifa Island, Al-Lith, Red Sea. Healthy saplings of grey mangrove, Avicennia marina were grown in the Biosaline agriculture centre of National aquaculture group (Naqua) at Al-Lith, Jeddah. Six month old mangrove saplings (25000) were planted at 11 locations of Al- Sharifa Island in Al-Lith village where mangrove vegetation was found sparse and destroyed by natural disasters. A survey conducted after 2 years showed that saplings planted along the shoreline of south and north lagoon of the island achieved 39% survival and were able to tolerate salinity up to 70 ppt. Causes of mortality were siltation, changes in topography, drying up of lagoon, accumulation of debris, and competition and destruction by crabs. The grey mangrove, Avicennia marina is a salt tolerant variety and is ideal for mangrove afforestation program at Red Sea coast.

By producing and analyzing the maps of the regions, an integrated approach to geomatics and hydraulic modelling is employed. The following maps are used: Flood-prone urbanity from 1988–2019, a flood risk map of Wadi Nu’man based on a risk matrix map, and a map of the proposed protection measures and alternatives in the study area. In order to achieve these goals, changes in the land use in the Wadi Nu’man basin were monitored by analyzing successive satellite images, taken by the US satellite, Landsat, in 1988, 1998, 2013, and 2019. Using a supervised classification, with the maximum likelihood method of ERDAS IMAGINE 2016, GIS was used in the production and analysis of soil maps, and geological and hydrological groups of drainage basins, as well as the hydrological model (HEC-HMS), were applied in calculating the hydrograph curve of the Wadi Nu’man basin.
