The 24th of Zil-Hajj marks the anniversary of the auspicious occasion of Eid-e-Mubahila. This is the day of victory of Muslims over Christians. The event of Mubahila occurred in the 10th of Hijrah.
Najran was a fertile land located in the Northern mountaneous region of Yemen about 20 Kms from Sanaa. About 40,000 Christians inhabited the land divided into 73 small towns. They were idol worshipers historically just like the Arabs but a priest named Femeon, a constructor by profession, preached Christianity in the area of Najran and soon all the population converted to Christianity and Najran became a powerful center of activities of Christians. They also constructed a church and named it \'Kaba-e-Najran\'. They prayed and offered various offerings there which resulted in an annual income of about two hundred thousand Dinars which was used for the priest who lived and studied there.
After the conquest of Makkah when Islam started spreading rapidly and the warring groups came under the flag of Islam, the Holy Prophet(pbuh&hf) starting sending emissaries to the tribes who had not yet accepted Islam. In 10 A.H. a similar message was sent to the Christians of Najran and they were offered either to accept the teachings of Islam or live in the protection of Muslims and give \'Jazia\' - a kind of fee for protection services. When the Bishop of Najran received this message, he invited all the scholars and influential people of Najran and asked them to think and find a solution to this situation. This news spread rapidly among the masses and some people got infuriated as well but the Bishop of Najran pacified them and advised them to be mindful of the military might of the Islamic regime and try to find a peaceful solution.
Christian mission heads to Madina
After deliberations, it was finally decided to send a mission to Madina and have a dialog with the Muslims. A 14 member deligation headed by Aqib Saidawar and Abu Harisa started off for Makkah. Abu Harisa was considered as the greatest Bishop and scholar of the Christian world at that time and Aqib Sadawar was the biggest strategist and negotiator of the time. When the delegation reached Madina, the people got impressed by their lavish dressing and pomp and show since it was the first time that a mission had arrived in such a manner.
When they entered the Masjid-e-Nabawi, the Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) looked at the precious stones, gold and silk clothes that they were wearing and turned away his face and did not pay any attention to them. After a while when no one noticed their pomp and show, they got out of the Masjid-e-Nabawi and met Hazrat Usman and Ubaid-ur-Rehman outside and asked them as to why they were invited by the Muslims and then treated in this manner. Hazrat Usman mentioned that he did not have a clue about that but if they consult Imam Ali(a.s.), he would be able to tell them what was going on. They took the delegation with them and arrived at the house of Imam Ali(a.s.) and mentioned about the whole incidence to him. Imam Ali(a.s.) said to the delegation that they were wearing dresses of silk and ornaments of gold which depicted their superior mentality and that they should take them off and dress simply. Only then the Prophet(pbuh&hf) would allow them to visit him and entertain them. Wh!
en they followed the instructions of Imam Ali(a.s.), they were allowed to visit the Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) after the Prayers of Asar and have discussions with him.
Proposal of Mubahila
After exchange of views on several issues, the delegation did not seem to be willing to accept the observations about the incorrect beliefs of Christianity and the logical explanations proving the incorrectness of their beliefs. At that time Allah(swt) send down the famous Ayat-e-Mubahila of the Quran:
Glorious Quran Chapter 3 Verse 61:
And unto him who disputeth with thee therein after the knowledge hath come unto thee, Say ! (O\' Our Apostle Muhammad !) (Unto them) come ye, let us summon our sons, and (ye summon) your sons, and (we summon) our women and (ye) your women, and (we summon) ourselves and then let us invoke the curse of God on the liars !
Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) recited this Ayat and invited them for Mubahila - praying to God(swt) to destroy and banish the liars.
Mubahila became necessary since the Christian delegation was adamant to accept the truth. After some hesitations the delegations asked to be given one day to reconsider their options and then accepted to have the Mubahila after two days. In their consultations among themselves, the grand Bishop Abu Harisa told his companions that if tomorrow, Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) brings his companions and his tribesmen and military might with him for Mubahila then they should accept the challange without fear but if he brings only the members of his family, then never accept the challenge.
Whom did the Prophet (pbuh & hf) take with him
The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh & hf) selected a place close to Madina for the Mubahila which was then cleaned and prepared by Hazrat Salman Farsi (r.a.) and the next day the Christian delegation reached the designated place. A number of muhajirren and ansaar also gathered at the site. The Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh & hf) took with him Imam Hasan (a.s.), Imam Hussain (a.s.), Bibi Fatima (s.a.) and Imam Ali (a.s.) and headed towards the site in a manner that Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) was leading the group holding Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Bibi Fatima (s.a.) was behind him and Imam Ali (a.s.) was behind Bibi Fatima (s.a.).
Saad bin Abi Waqas relates that when the Ayat-e-Mubahila was sent down, Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) called Imam Ali(a.s.), Bibi Fatima(s.a.), Imam Hasan(a.s.) and Imam Hussain(a.s.) and said \"O my Allah(swt), these are my Ahl-e-Bait\" . (Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, Page 287).
Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) sat down under a tree with these weighty personalities and said that when I pray to God, you all should say \'Ameen\'. When the Christian delegation saw a woman, two children and only one man with the Prophet(pbuh&hf), they got scared and worried and Abu Harisa said \"O my christian friends, I am seeing such bright faces that if they pray that God move this mountain from its place then the mountain will be moved. I warn you do not have Mubahila with them or you all will be destroyed and banished.\"
The Christian delegation was still amazed and frightened when the brother of Abu Harisa, Karz ibn-e-Alqama stated that \"O my fellows, it appears that Mohammad(pbuh&hf) is the same last apostle and prophet that has been mentioned in our sacred books. We should not have Mubahila with them because anyone who had Mubahila with the prophets in the past as well were destroyed. Look around you and observe that the signs of your destruction are appearing.\" When they looked around, they observed that the entire atmosphere had changed and it appeared that a furious storm is in offing.
Result of the Mubahila
Witnessing this, they backed off from the contest and requested that their friendship be accepted. Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) accepted their request and asked Imam Ali(a.s.) to write the agreement according to which they Najran tribes accepted to pay \'Jazia\' and live under the protection of the Muslims.
Mubahila confirmed
1. The Superiority of Islam over other Revealed Religions
2. The Prestige of Panjatan-e-Pak a.s. in the eyes of Allah swt
3. Who are the 'Ahlul Bayt of the Prophet (pbuh)'
4. The relationship of Al-Qur'an and the Ahlul Bayt a.s., and
5. Islam, Qur'an, Ahlul Bayt and Pleasure of Allah swt - are different names for one and the same thing

Talam ********Muka
Dalam rakaman Interview With Hillary Clinton di NTV7 semalam,Setiausaha USA itu berkata,"Israel needs to exist....and Palestine needs a State...."
Hahahahaha....izinkan saya tergelak...dah jadi macam film Interview With Vampire...je. Manakan tidak, tak kiralah dalam keadaan "berterus terang" ataupun "diplomasi" sekalipun, negara Uncle Sam ini tetap sahaja menunjukkan sokongannya terhadap kewujudan Israel. Kona kanan, kona kiri hasilnya tetap saja sama.
Yang paling tragik di akhir temu bual, bekas first Lady USA itu tanpa rasa bersalah justru mengatakan bahwa Palestine yang "mempersulit keadaan" dalam tiap rundingan dengan Israel kerana tidak mahu tunduk dengan syarat-syarat yang dikemukakan Israel,salah satunya Israel harus mendapat "perlindungan" dari serangan roket Palestine.
Hahahaha....Nyatalah sudah betapa pengecutnya Israel,betapa licik dan kotornya cara mereka untuk "exist" di dunia ini. Sebetulnya siapa yang paling banyak menjadi korban dan mangsa....????siapa yang paling banyak menanggung derita dan kesusahan selama ini....????...kalau bukan rakyat palestine. Israel pula,tak jauh beza dengan mentornya,USA...ada suatu ketika begitu bongkak dan angkuh,namun di lain kesempatan pula menunjuk-nunjuk pada dunia seolah merekalah "innocent side".
Tengok sahaja hasil keputusan mahkamah Israel baru-baru ini terhadap dua askar Israel yang didapati bersalah kerana menjadikan kanak-kanak sebagai perisai untuk memastikan sebuah bag berisi bom atau tidak. Mengikut UU,mereka sepatutnya dihukum 2-3 tahun tetapi ternyata hanya dihukum 3 bulan penjara dan diturunkan pangkat sahaja.Alahai, sungguh hukuman yang tidak setimpal.
USA mungkin rakan niaga yang baik,namun dalam isu Palestine, negara manapun mestilah tetap berpegang bahawa hanya Palestine yang berhak "survive dan exist",di dunia ini. Membuka hubungan diplomatik dengan Israel, tak kiralah dengan cara apa sekali pun, hanya akan memakan diri.Wallahu'alam.

Korea: Bila Ego Menjadi Punca
"Betui ka Korea Utara serang Korea Selatan?" Sms dari my beloved husband itu cukup mengejutkan saya. Saya jawab,"Tak kot". Rasa macam pelik pula kalau benda sedemikian berlaku kali ini apatah lagi dulu pernah saya tanyakan pada seorang sahabat di sana, samada 2 Korea mungkin akan terlibat dalam kancah peperangan lagi.
"No matter how,we are still from the same root. Both sides should think more than hundred times to start the war...again...".....Jawaban yang bagi saya cukup memuaskan ketika itu. Apalagi jika mengambil kira situasi ekonomi global dengan krisis dan kejatuhan nilai mata wang yang bukan sahaja memberi impak negatif pada sesetengah pemain dalam sektor ekonomi/swasta tapi juga dunia secara keseluruhannya.
Tapi kalau dilihat kembali berita mengenai 2 Korea itu sejak semalam, timbullah pula rasa risau. Sepertinya akan pecah pula Perang Dunia III,macam yang selalu diperkatakan oleh ramai orang,meski setakat cakap-cakap kecil,apatah lagi jika mengambil kira peranan China sebagai sekutu rapat Korea Utara dan Negara Uncle Sam sebagai "angel" bagi pihak Korea Selatan.
Kembali kepada unsur sejarah 2 Korea ada ego yang berperanan di sana. Ego untuk menang sendiri, ego untuk berkuasa atas yang lain, ada ego yang pada akhirnya ditunggangi oleh pihak-pihak yang suka mengaut keuntungan di sebalik tragedi dan kemusnahan. Saya tidak mau memihak mana-mana Korea. Pada saya mereka adalah sahabat,sesama ASIA yang sepatutnya kita berikan kesedaran pada mereka bahwa perang bukanlah jalan terakhir, ketenteraan bukanlah satu-satunya alat untuk menunjukkan kuasa dan apa yang paling utama, siapa pun orangnya tentu bencikan kesengsaraan dan penderitaan akibat perang. Terlalu banyak yang akan menjadi korban dan mangsa, sungguh tak berbaloi dengan nilai persaudaraan 2 Korea itu sendiri.
Semoga Malaysia dan negara-negara di Rantau Asia ini boleh menjadi rakan dan sahabat yang mampu menjadi juru runding dan meredakan ketegangan antara 2 Korea ini.Wallahu'alam

Semangat Juang
Pernahkah anda menjadi aktivis? Berbahagialah anda yang pernah merasai pengalaman sebegitu. Yang saya maksudkan aktivis adalah secara global, seseorang yang berjuang,bergiat aktif dalam satu-satu bidang tertentu yang diyakini benar dan membawa manfaat bagi masyarakat amnya.
Menjadi aktivis akan mengasah ketrampilan bermasyarakat,sensitiviti terhadap bidang tertentu disamping mengasah kemampuan bergerak dalam sebuah organisasi atau kumpulan sehingga mampu mengetepikan ego dan kepentingan pribadi demi kepentingan masyarakat dan tujuan perjuangan yang diyakini.
Ada aktivis kemanusiaan,aktivis politik, aktivis pencinta alam atau apapun nama dan labelnya memerlukan daya juang yang tinggi.Selagi jalan perjuangan yang dipilih diyakini kebenarannya maka tak salah untuk terus maju tanpa rasa serik ataupun kesal.
Hanya sahaja......perlu diingat bahwa cara yang dipilih untuk mengapresiasikan perjuangan itu hendaklah dipilih secara bijak, jauh dari unsur-unsur vandalism dan taktik kotor yang justru akan mencemari nilai perjuangan itu sendir.
Sekalung tahniah saya pada misi kemanusian GAZA, tak kiralah mewakili negara manapun anda kerana telah berjuang dan semoga akan terus berjuang dengan taktik jitu yang bijak, sehingga boleh meminima resiko yang mungkin akan dihadapi demi mencapai hasil sesuai harapan.
Tabik juga kepada Greenpeace,sebuah kumpulan aktivitis yang dengan segala kedegilannya berusaha menyedarkan dunia mengenai betapa pentingnya menjaga alam ciptaan Tuhan ini, tak kira lah agama apa yang anda anuti.
Aktivis politik pula......hm, saya tak berani bercakap banyak mengenai yang satu ini. Sebab tabiat politik adalah berubah-ubah sejalan dengan keadaan semasa.
Aktivis apapun anda, tetaplah berjalan pada rel yang betul. Mulakan langkah dengan niat yang betul agar ianya berkah. Jalani perjuangan dengan azzam yang kuat dengan bergerak sebagai satu kumpulan yang solid, tidak berpecah belah. Apa yang pasti sudah semestinya ia diniatkan untuk kepentingan masyarakat dan bukan untuk memuaskan ego pihak tertentu semata-mata dan bukan juga untuk mengaut keuntungan pribadi atau kumpulan semata-mata. Wallahu'alam.

Fusidic Acid for Skin Infections
GENERIC NAME: FUSIDIC ACID, FUSIDATE SODIUM - TOPICAL CREAM, OINTMENT, GEL
Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that is often used topically in creams and eyedrops, but may also be given systemically as tablets or injections. The global problem of advancing antimicrobial resistance has led to a renewed interest in its use recently.
Fusidic acid and sodium fusidate may be used alone or in combination with systemic therapy in the treatment of primary and secondary skin infections caused by sensitive strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species and Corynebacterium minutissimum . Some of these skin infections include:
•Impetigo (school sores)
•Folliculitis
•Erythrasma
•Paronychia
•Infected dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis
•Infected cuts and abrasions
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic medicine. It works by entering bacterial cells and interfering with the production of proteins that the bacteria need to divide and multiply. It does not directly kill the bacteria, but leaves them unable to increase in numbers. The existing bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. Fusidic acid is included in this preparation to treat the bacterial infection that can sometimes occur in eczema.
A small amount of cream or ointment should be applied to the affected area three or four times daily. If covering the lesion with gauze dressing less frequent application (once or twice daily) may be adequate.
Any ointment left over at the end of treatment should be discarded. It is essential to use fusidic acid only as directed by your doctor as indiscriminate use can lead to the development of bacterial resistance.
Do not use large amounts, apply this more often or use this for longer than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but the chance for side effects may be increased. Use carefully if applying to the face. Avoid contact in or around the eyes.
Local hypersensitivity reactions to fusidic acid include mild stinging and irritation. In most cases therapy may be continued, however if the reaction is severe treatment should be stopped and the cream or ointment rinsed off. Contact allergic dermatitis to fusidic acid is rare.
The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
•Skin irritation, eg itching, burning, stinging.
•Rash.
•Worsening of eczema.
•Skin thinning, thread veins or stretch marks (prolonged use only).
•Groupings of fine blood vessels becoming prominent under the skin (telangiectasia).
•Inflammation of hair follicles (folliculitis).
•Decreased skin pigmentation at application area.
•Puffiness of skin on the face.
Tell your doctor if you have: pre-existing illness, infections, allergies (especially to any antibiotics). This medication should be used only if clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. This medication has been found in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. If it is applied to the breasts it should be washed off carefully before breastfeeding and then reapplied afterwards.

Banjir,Qurban dan Politik
Berat mata memandang,lagi berat bahu memikul.....itu yang boleh saya andaikan keadaan rakyat negeri-negeri yang dilanda banjir.Pertama kali banjir yang saya alami ialah ketika berlakunya tsunami 2005. Masa itu, boleh kira taklah teruk sangat sebab banjir di Perlis surut hanya dalam masa 2 hari. Bantuan pula datang mencurah-curah. Meski tak lah boleh dikatakan mewah, tapi bantuan yang diperlukan pantas diberi oleh kerajaan negeri.
Tapi di banjir besar di awal bulan November 2010 ini....sungguh banyak rungutan tak didengari. Bukan setakat lambatnya bantuan untuk mengevakuasi mangsa banjir yang terperangkap di taman perumahan, maktab ataupun tempat-tempat yang agak terpencil....tapi juga seolah kerajaan negeri lebih suka melihat rakyat negerinya kebuluran....sehingga ramailah pula parti-parti politik tertentu mengguna kesempatan untuk menabur jasa. Pilu rasa hati melihat rumah beserta isinya yang terendam air bah hampir satu minggu. Bukan setakat bau busuk masam, banyak benda terpaksa di buang...pikirkan keadaan ekonomi dunia yang tak berapa elok kebelakangan ini...makin susah rasa hati....nak beli baru kah tidak....habis lingkup orang berniaga,bukan setakat tiada beroleh untung, malah rugi besar pula yang terpaksa ditanggung.
Maaf-maaf, saya tidak bermaksud membanding-bandingkan zaman 2 MB Perlis, tidak juga menafikan bantuan dari pihak kerajaan negeri tapi ada perkara yang patut direspon dengan pantas jikalau tidak mahu banjir besar melanda Perlis saban tahun.Ada banyak cadangan rakyat mengenai empangan Timah Tasoh. Diantaranya :perlunya membuat saliran khas untuk membuang lebihan air empangan, penggunaan sistem overflow serta pembuatan dan penjagaan sistem longkang,pembentungan air yang lebih modern.
Tahun ini hari raya Qurban dirasakan begitu sendu. Ramai yang lebih ambil berat dengan kerja-kerja pembersihan rumah beserta isinya daripada mempersiapkan keperluan hari raya. Bahkan peniaga pun ramai mengeluh dek kerana barangannya kurang laku.
Tapi mungkin di sinilah letaknya "pengorbanan" kita. Mungkin pengorbanan inilah yang lebih "disukai" oleh Allah azza wa jalla. Keredhoan kita atas musibah yang menimpa kita adalah sesuatu yang bernilai tinggi. Mudah-mudahan ianya menjadi kafarah atas dosa-dosa kita, membersihkan harta kita dan menjadikan kita hamba-hamba yang lebih bertaqwa.
Tapi perlu diingat, janganlah pula kerana kita sudah dianggap "berqurban" dengan cara ini lalu bersikap sambil lewa dengan masa hadapan. Perlu juga kita pikirkan bagaimana mencegah atau paling tidak menghadapi kemungkinan bencana serupa berlaku. Saya yakin Allah juga mahukan kita berfikir secara positif, mencari jalan keluar atas setiap masalah, bukan setakat pasrah dan berdiam diri. Perlu kerjasama yang baik antara kerajaan dan rakyat agar masalah sebegini dapat segera diatasi.
Yang paling syok, ketika banjir justru bab politik yang menjadi topik utama perbualan. Apatah lagi ketika itu sedang hangat-hangatnya berita mengenai pilihan raya kecil DUN Galas dan Batu Sapi. Seolah ianya menjadi intermezzo di sela-sela kegusaran hati ketika banjir. Sebetulnya dalam keadaan sedemikian, rakyat sudah tidak peduli siapa,pihak mana yang lebih dulu memberi bantuan. Dah tak kisah sekiranya menerima bantuan tersebut bererti menyokong pihak-pihak tertentu. Ibarat telur di ujung tanduk, janji selamat, dah tak kisah siapa yang menyelamatkan, dah tak kisah apa yang patut diberi untuk membalas jasa mereka nanti.
Segala sesuatu mesti ada hikmah di sebaliknya.Semoga kita menjadi hamba Allah yang ridho dengan segala ketentuannya.Amin....
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL ADHA
Taqabballahu minna wa minku..... taqabbal ya karim....

Saya yakin Allah juga mahukan kita berfikir secara positif, mencari jalan keluar atas setiap masalah, bukan setakat pasrah dan berdiam diri. Perlu kerjasama yang baik antara kerajaan dan rakyat agar masalah sebegini dapat segera diatasi.
Yang paling syok, ketika banjir justru bab politik yang menjadi topik utama perbualan. Apatah lagi ketika itu sedang hangat-hangatnya berita mengenai pilihan raya kecil DUN Galas dan Batu Sapi. Seolah ianya menjadi intermezzo di sela-sela kegusaran hati ketika banjir. Sebetulnya dalam keadaan sedemikian, rakyat sudah tidak peduli siapa,pihak mana yang lebih dulu memberi bantuan. Dah tak kisah sekiranya menerima bantuan tersebut bererti menyokong pihak-pihak tertentu. Ibarat telur di ujung tanduk, janji selamat, dah tak kisah siapa yang menyelamatkan, dah tak kisah apa yang patut diberi untuk membalas jasa mereka nanti.
Segala sesuatu mesti ada hikmah di sebaliknya.Semoga kita menjadi hamba Allah yang ridho dengan segala ketentuannya.Amin....
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL ADHA

Islamic Story 18:Don't Loose your "Will Power" in Hardship of Life
An old man lived alone in home. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and told his situation.
"Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison ... Your Father."
Shortly, the old man received the reply from his son: "For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden! That's where I buried the Guns!"
The next morning, A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused old man wrote another note to his son telling him what have happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad, It's the best I could do for you from here."
Moral of the Will Power Story: No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart, you can do it!
