WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE QURAN, THE PROPHET AND ISLAM

PROF. ALFRED KROENER

• Professor of the Department of Geosciences, University of Mainz, Germany.
• He said: "

"Thinking where Muhammad came from... I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case."

"Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics 1400 years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind for instance that the earth and the heavens had the same origin, or many other questions that we have discussed here...

If you combine all these and you combine all these statements that are being made in the Qur'an in terms that relate to the earth and the formation of the earth and science in general, you can basically say that statements made there in many ways are true, they can now be confirmed by scientific methods, and in a way, you can say that the Qur'an is a simple science text book for the simple man. And that many of the statements made in there at that time could not be proven, but that modern scientific methods are now in a position to prove what Muhammad said 1400 years ago."

EDWARD GIBBON

• In his famous 1776 historical masterpiece, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", he expressed a deeply complex, dual view of the Quran. 
• He wrote "The creed of Mahomet is free from suspicion or ambiguity, and the Quran is a glorious testimony to the unity of God...'I believe in One God, and Mahomet the Apostle of God' is the simple and invariable of Islam."
• "Mahomet, with the sword in one hand and the Quran in the other, erected his throne on the ruins of Christianity and of Rome."

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

• He first studied it at the age of 23 at the suggestion of philosopher J.G. Herder and continued to engage with deeply until his death. 
• A book of "powerful effect, precise and sublime, ever-renewing, its style majestic, noble, and astonishing. 
• "It is a book of revelation to a people at all times and in all places."
• What he say about Prophet Muhammad s.a.w : "He is a prophet and not a poet and therefore his Quran is to be seen as Divine Law and not as a book of a human being, made for education or entertainment."
• "The more I read the Quran, the more my admiration for it grows"

PROF.KEITH L.MOORE

• A Professor Emeritus in the division of anatomy, Faculty of Surgery, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
• He said at a Conference in Cairo: "It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'an about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God, or Allah."
• He also stated that : "The intensive studies of the Qur'an and Hadith in the last four years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in the seventh century A.D... The descriptions in the Qur'an cannot be based on scientific knowledge in the seventh century..."

DR. MAURICE BUCAILLE

• A former chief of the Surgical Clinic, University of Paris and the author of the "The Bible, The Qur'an and Science" published in 1976. 
• His famous quote about the Quran : 
• "our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Qur'an could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times. "
• "The above observation makes the hypothesis advanced by those who see Muhammad as the author of the Qur'an untenable. How could a man, from being illiterate, become the most important author, in terms of literary merits, in the whole of Arabic literature?" 
• "How could he then pronounce truths of a scientific nature that no other human-being could possibly have developed at that time, and all this without once making the slightest error in his pronouncement on the subject?"

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

• During his 1798 military campaign in Egypt, Napoleon famously declared his deep respect for God, the Prophet and the "glorious Quran".
• His quote about Quran : "I hope the time is not far off when I shall be able to unite all the wise and educated men of all the countries and establish a uniform regime based on the principles of the Quran which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness."

SIR WILLIAM MUIR

• A prominent 19th-century Scottish Orientalist and Colonial administrator in India. 
• In his seminal work, "The Life of Mahomet", he wrote : "There is probably in the world no other work which has remained twelve centuries with so pure a text."
• The most famous quote : "The sword of Mohammad, and the Quran, are the most stubborn enemies of civilisation, Liberty and Truth which the world has yet known."

PROF. TEJATAT TEJASEN

• Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
• He studied various articles concerning the Qur'an and modern embryology. During the the 8th Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia he stood up and said:

"In the last three years, I became interested in the Qur'an... From my studies and what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Qur'an fourteen hundred years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means.

Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a Messenger who relayed this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the one who is eligible creator. This creator must be God, or Allah.

I think this is the time to say La ilaha illa Allah, there is no god to worship except Allah (God), Muhammad rasoolu Allah, Muhammad is Messenger of Allah...

The most precious thing I have gained from coming to this conference is La ilaha illa Allah, and to have become Muslim."

THOMAS CARLYLE

• The influential Victorian-era Scottish philosopher and historian. In his lecture series, published as "On Heroes: Hero-Worship & the Heroic in History" he chose Prophet Muhammad s.a.w over all other biblical prophets. 
• He famously wrote : "To the Arab Nation it was a birth from darkness into light. Arabian first became alive by means of it. A poor shephers people, roaming unnoticed in its deserts since the creation of the world, a Hero-Prophet was sent down to them with a word they could believe, see, the unnoticed becomes world-notable, the small has grown world-great."

TONY BLAIR

• a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007.
• He made some comment about the Qur'an : 

"The Qur’an is practical and way ahead of its time".
"The most remarkable thing about reading the Koran – in so far as it can be truly translated from the original Arabic - is to understand how progressive it is. 

"I speak with great diffidence and humility as a member of another faith. I am not qualified to make any judgements. But as an outsider, the Koran strikes me as a reforming book, trying to return Judaism and Christianity to their origins, rather as reformers attempted with the Christian Church centuries later. It is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance," 

PROF. T.V.N PERSAUD

• Professor of Anatomy, Pediatrics and Child Health in University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Author and editor of over 20 books, has published over 181 scientific papers.
• He said : "It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man, he couldn't read, didn't know how to write, in fact he was an illiterate...
  We're talking about 1400 years ago, you have some illiterate person making profound statements that are amazingly accurate, of a scientific nature...
  I personally can't see how this could be mere chance, there are too many accuracies and like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind reconciling that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which lead him to these statements."

SUATU KETIKA DAHULU : SUNGAI REJANG, SIBU, SARAWAK

Sungai merupakan nadi kehidupan manusia yang membekalkan air bersih, menyokong rantaian makanan, dan memacu pembangunan ekonomi sesebuah negara. Sejak awal tamadun lagi, kelangsungan hidup manusia dan kestabilan ekosistem alam sekitar amat bergantung kepada kelestarian sungai. 

"Masa itu seperti air sungai, kamu tidak akan dapat menyentuh air yang sama untuk kedua kalinya kerana air yang telah mengalir tidak akan kembali."

"Jadilah seperti sungai; terus mengalir ke hadapan, melepasi setiap batu penghalang tanpa pernah menoleh ke belakang."

"Kehidupan adalah sebuah sungai yang panjang. Walau sejauh mana ia berliku, akhirnya ia tetap akan menemui laut yang luas."

Teringat zaman persekolah dahulu, ketika mata pelajaran Ilmu Alam (Geografi), kita belajar tentang Sungai yang terpanjang di Malaysia iaitu Sungai Rejang di Sarawak.

Tidak pernah terfikir atau terlintas dalam fikiran ku ketika itu yang suatu hari nanti aku akan menyusuri sungai yang terpanjang itu iaitu Sungai Rejang yang terletak di Sibu, Sarawak. 

Mengalir sejauh kira-kira 563 km hingga 770 km berpunca dari Banjaran Iran, mengalir ke arah Barat sebelum berakhir di Laut China Selatan. 

Sepanjang Sungai ini, terbinanya ratusan rumah panjang yang dihuni oleh kaum Iban, Kayan, Kenyah, Melanau dan Beketan. 

Selain kaya dengan ikan sungai eksklusif (seperti ikan Empurau dan Semah), Rajang juga terkenal sebagai habitat utama buaya katak (Crocodylus porosus) yang bersaiz besar. 

Pengalaman melakukan tugas rondaan di Sungai Rajang, Sarawak sekitar tahun 1983 dan 1984 merupakan satu memori yang sangat bernilai, sarat dengan cabaran, dan menjadi sebahagian daripada lipatan sejarah penting negara. Pada awal tahun 1980-an, Sungai Rajang bukan sekadar sungai biasa; ia adalah nadi strategik, laluan utama logistik, dan sempadan keselamatan yang memerlukan pengawasan ketat.

Suasana dan Cabaran Rondaan Sungai Rajang (1983–1984)

• Nadi Keselamatan Pasca-Insurgensi: Walaupun Perjanjian Damai Sri Aman telah ditandatangani pada tahun 1973, sisa-sisa ancaman komunis (PARAKU) masih dipantau rapi pada awal 1980-an, menjadikan tugasan rondaan waktu itu penuh dengan kesiapsiagaan tinggi.
• Geografi yang Menggerunkan: Merentasi kawasan dari Sibu, Kanowit, Sarikei, Song, Durin, Binatang, Kapit, sehinggalah ke Belaga, anggota keselamatan perlu berhadapan dengan jeram-jeram berbahaya, terutamanya Jeram Pelagus yang terkenal dengan arus deras dan batu karang yang mampu membalikkan bot.
• Rondaan sering menggunakan bot ronda pasukan keselamatan (RCP, LCP dan LCM) yang memerlukan kemahiran kemudi yang sangat cekap untuk membaca arus sungai.
• Hubungan dengan Penduduk Rumah Panjang: Singgah di rumah-rumah panjang (Iban, Kayan, Kenyah) di sepanjang tebing sungai untuk mengumpul maklumat perisikan, menjaga keselamatan, dan membina hubungan baik dengan masyarakat tempatan melalui konsep Psikologi dan Hubungan Rakyat.
• Logistik Hutan Tebal: Kawasan sekeliling Rajang pada waktu itu masih dilitupi hutan rimba yang sangat tebal, di mana bunyi enjin bot dan deruan air sungai menjadi peneman setia sepanjang hari dan malam.

Kenangan berbakti di sungai terpanjang di Malaysia ini pastinya meninggalkan kesan mendalam dalam hidup ini. 

Wira Gema Rejang: Di Bawah Panji Jala Aman

Di mana air mencium lumpur menjadi perang,

Di situlah maruah dan sumpah dijulang,

Bukan di lautan biru yang luas terbentang,

Tetapi di celah jeram dan rimba yang garang.

Enjin RCP memecah sunyi malam yang pekat,

Membawa wira-wira bersenjata gajet dan tekad,

Menyusur lubuk Sungai Asan, Naman, dan Nyemah,

Meredah sarang musuh tanpa rasa lemah.

Meriam Oerlikon setia di haluan bot,

Menjadi pelindung kala peluru bersambut,

RAMD, Renjer, dan Polis Hutan digerakkan berani,

Menyusup tebing mencari talian musuh pertiwi.

Tiada tukang masak, tiada katil yang selesa,

Hanya periuk dikongsi bersama rasa bangga,

Setiap jam lapan malam SITREP dikirim setia,

Tanda KD Sri Rejang masih utuh menjaga.

Kini sungai itu mengalir tenang tanpa darah,

Ancaman komunis runtuh, musnah menyerah,

Kalian wira yang dilupa dalam lipatan masa,

Namun jasa Jala Aman 1 kekal selamanya.

Tabik hormat buat Brown Water Navy tercinta,

Meredah badai sungai demi sekeping kedaulatan negara.

Pengorbanan yang sunyi, di bumi Kenyalang yang bertuah

HOW TO USE CHATGPT?

Using ChatGPT is straightforward - it's just chatting, but how you chat makes a big difference in what you get back.

Here's a quick start guide:

1. Get set up

• Go to chat.openai.com or download the ChatGPT app on iOS / Android.
• Create an account with email, Google, or Apple ID. The free plan works fine to start.
• Log in and you'll see a blank chat box - that's it.

2. Learn the basic interface

New Chat: starts a fresh conversation. Use this when you switch topics.

Message box: where you type your prompt. Hit Enter to send.

History sidebar: all your past chats are saved there.

Models: If you're on free, you'll be on GPT-4o mini / GPT-4o. Paid plans let you pick GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, o3 reasoning models, etc.

3. How to write good prompts

This is the real skill. Don't just write "write essay".

Try this formula:

Role + Task + Context + Format

Bad: `Help me with email`

Good: `You are my professional assistant. Write a short, polite email to my client saying the project will be delayed by 2 days because of server issues. Keep it formal and under 100 words.`

Pro tips:

• Be specific: Say what you want, how long, what tone. "Explain like I'm 12", "make a table", "give me 5 bullet points".
• Give context: Paste the text you want summarized, describe your goal, tell it who it's for.
• Iterate: First answer not perfect? Say "make it shorter", "more casual", "add examples", "now convert it to Malay".
• Use follow-ups: You don't need to restart. ChatGPT remembers this chat. Ask "what if I change X?" and it will build on it.
• Set constraints: "Don't use jargon", "use only sources from 2024", "ask me questions first before you answer".

4. What it's great for

• Writing & editing: emails, captions, CVs, scripts, Instagram posts
• Learning: explain complex topics, summarize articles, translate, practice languages
• Work: brainstorm ideas, make spreadsheets formulas, write code, debug code, create outlines
• Everyday: meal plans, travel itineraries, workout plans, gift ideas

Just paste what you have: "Here's my resume, improve it for a marketing job" works better than a vague request.

5. Features most people miss

• Upload files/images: You can upload a PDF, screenshot, or photo and say "summarize this" or "what does this error mean?"
• Voice mode: In the mobile app, tap the headphone icon to talk to it.
• Custom Instructions: In Settings > Personalization, you can tell it "I live in Malaysia, I run a small business, reply concisely" so you don't have to repeat it.
• Canvas / Code: Ask "open canvas" for writing or coding - it gives you an editable document on the side.

6. What to watch out for

1. It can be wrong or make up facts. Always double-check important info, prices, laws, medical advice.
2. Don't share sensitive personal data like IC, bank details, passwords.
3. If it gives a bad answer, tell it why. It learns from your feedback in that chat.

• Untuk Pembelajaran: "Terangkan konsep fotosintesis dengan ayat yang mudah difahami oleh kanak-kanak berusia 10 tahun."
• Untuk Ringkasan: "Ringkaskan teks panjang ini kepada 3 isi penting yang mudah dibaca."
• Untuk Kreativiti & Multimedia: Anda juga boleh meminta Gemini merancang skrip, menjana idea kandungan digital, atau membantu anda menggabungkan elemen visual untuk projek kreatif. 

CONTOH PROMPT MUDAH

Menulis prom untuk menjana foto baharu atau membaiki foto lama menggunakan Gemini sangat mudah jika anda fokus kepada pencahayaan, perincian (details), dan kualiti gambar.

Gemini boleh digunakan untuk mencipta imej baharu atau membantu anda menulis prom yang sangat terperinci untuk digunakan pada alatan AI penjana imej.

Berikut adalah contoh prom sedia guna yang boleh anda salin dan tampal (copy-paste):

1. Contoh Prom untuk Menjana Foto Baharu (Mudah & Realistik)

Untuk mendapatkan hasil foto yang nampak hidup dan tidak nampak seperti lukisan digital palsu, gunakan kata kunci seperti photorealistic, cinematic lighting, atau jenis lensa kamera.

Foto Potret (Wajah):

• "A photorealistic portrait of an old Malaysian man smiling, detailed wrinkles, warm cinematic lighting, captured on 85mm lens, high resolution, 4k."

Foto Landskap / Suasana:

• "A realistic photo of a traditional Malay kampung house during sunset, warm golden hour light, misty atmosphere, high-end photography style, ultra-detailed."

Foto Produk:

• "A professional studio product shot of a minimalist coffee mug on a wooden table, soft studio lighting, blurred background (bokeh effect), clean and modern commercial style."

2. Contoh Prom untuk Membaiki Foto Lama (Restoration)

Jika anda mempunyai gambar lama yang kabur, koyak, atau berwarna hitam putih, anda boleh memuat naik gambar tersebut ke dalam Gemini dan gunakan prom di bawah:

Untuk Memulihkan Warna (Colorize):

• "Tolong pulihkan dan warnakan gambar hitam putih ini. Jadikan warna kulit, pakaian, dan latar belakang nampak semula jadi dan hidup seperti foto zaman moden."

Untuk Meningkatkan Kualiti & Ketajaman (Upscale/Sharpen):

• "Gambar lama ini agak kabur dan pecah. Tolong baiki kualiti gambar ini: tajamkan bahagian muka (mata, hidung, rambut), buang kesan calar (scratches), dan jadikan imej ini jelas (high-resolution hd)."

Untuk Membaiki Bahagian yang Rosak/Hilang:

• "Foto ini mempunyai kesan koyak di bahagian tepi dan tompokan air. Tolong buang semua kotoran tersebut dan lengkapkan semula bahagian latar belakang yang hilang dengan kemas."

Tips Tambahan Menulis Prom Imej

• Gunakan Bahasa Inggeris: Walaupun Gemini faham Bahasa Melayu, AI penjanaan imej biasanya memberikan hasil yang jauh lebih tepat dan berkualiti jika prom ditulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris.
• Nyatakan Apa yang Anda TIDAK Mahu: Anda boleh menambah arahan negatif di hujung prom.
• Contoh: "Avoid plastic look, no cartoon style, no extra fingers."

Contoh Prom Spesifik untuk Mengekalkan Wajah Asli

Salin dan gunakan prom ini apabila anda memuat naik gambar lama ke dalam AI:

Versi Bahasa Melayu:

• "Tolong baiki foto lama ini tanpa mengubah struktur, bentuk, dan identiti unik wajah asal. Fokus HANYA pada membuang kesan calar, meningkatkan ketajaman (sharpening), dan membersihkan habuk. Jangan tambah atau ubah suai ciri wajah seperti mata, hidung, dan bibir. Kekalkan rupa bentuk asli individu di dalam gambar ini."

Versi Bahasa Inggeris (Sangat Digalakkan untuk Hasil Lebih Tepat):

"Restore this vintage photo while strictly preserving the original facial features, structures, and true identity of the person. Fix only the blurriness, scratches, and dust. Do not alter or re-imagine the eyes, nose, mouth, or face shape. Maintain the authentic look without making it look like a generic AI face."

3. Strategi Penting untuk Mengawal AI

Selain daripada prom di atas, anda boleh menggunakan teknik ini untuk memastikan wajah tidak berubah:

Gunakan Teknik "Pecah tugasan" (Step-by-Step)

Jangan minta AI baiki semua benda sekaligus.

• Langkah 1: Minta AI buang calar sahaja dahulu: "Remove only the scratches and dust from the background."
• Langkah 2: Selepas itu, baru minta AI terangkan gambar yang gelap tanpa menyentuh bahagian muka.

Gunakan Foto Rujukan Tambahan (Jika Ada)

• Jika anda mempunyai foto lain individu yang sama (walaupun pada usia berbeza), muat naik bersama-sama.
• Berikan arahan: "Ini adalah orang yang sama daripada sudut/usia berbeza. Gunakan gambar kedua ini sebagai rujukan struktur wajah untuk membaiki gambar pertama yang kabur."

Gunakan Alatan AI yang Mempunyai Ciri "Face Match" Dedicated

• Jika Gemini mengubah wajah terlalu banyak, anda boleh menggunakan aplikasi pemulihan khusus yang mempunyai teknologi mengekalkan wajah yang sangat baik seperti Remini atau ciri Face Restoration di MyHeritage InColor. Alatan ini dibina khas untuk memadankan piksel lama dengan struktur wajah asal berbanding AI generatif biasa.

NOTA ILMU: SEJARAH PEPERANGAN DI ZAMAN RASULULLAH S.A.W DAN KHALIFAH AR-RASYIDIN

Dalam sejarah Islam, siri peperangan bermula selepas peristiwa Hijrah ke Madinah pada tahun 622 M. Peperangan pada zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW dibahagikan kepada dua kategori utama: 

1. Ghazwah (peperangan yang disertai dan dipimpin sendiri oleh Baginda) 
2. Sariyah (ekspedisi tentera yang diutus oleh Baginda di bawah pimpinan para sahabat). 

Kronologi Peperangan Zaman Rasulullah SAW

Berikut adalah siri pertempuran utama yang membentuk landskap awal tamadun Islam:

• Perang Badar (17 Ramadan 2 H / 624 M): Pertempuran besar pertama di mana 313 tentera Islam berjaya menewaskan lebih 1,000 tentera musyrikin Quraisy. Perang ini membuktikan bahawa kekuatan akidah mampu mengatasi kelebihan material. 
• Perang Uhud (3 H / 625 M): 
• Umat Islam mengalami kemunduran taktikal dan kehilangan ramai sahabat (termasuk Saidina Hamzah) akibat sekumpulan tentera pemanah yang ingkar arahan Nabi kerana mengejar harta rampasan perang (ghanimah). 
• Tentera Musyrikin diketuai oleh Abu Sufyan dengan 3000 tentera manakala tentera Islam seramai 1000 orag. 
• Abdullah bin Ubay mengetuai beberapa tentera Islam keluar dari pertempuran dan kembali ke Madinah. 
• Syahidnya Bapa Saudara Nabi Saidina Hamzah bin Abdul Mutalib. 
• Perang Khandaq / Al-Ahzab (5 H / 627 M): 
• 10,000 tentera Yahudi & Musyrikin menyerang penduduk Islam di Madinah. Tentera Islam seramai 3,000 orang bertahan di Madinah. 
• Strategi luar biasa membina parit (cadangan Salman al-Farisi) di sekeliling kota Madinah bagi menyekat pengepungan gabungan (Ahzab) tentera musyrikin dan sekutu Yahudi.
• Perang Mu'tah (8 H / 629 M): 
• Pertempuran sengit pertama menentang empayar besar Byzantine (Rom Timur) di wilayah Jordan ekoran pembunuhan utusan diplomatik Islam, Al-Harith bin Umair al-Azdiy. Beliau dibunuh dengan kejam oleh Syurahbil bin Amru al-Ghassani (Gabenor Rom di Balqa).
• 3,000 Tentera Islam menentang 100,000 hingga 200,000 Tentera Gabungan Rom dan Arab Ghassanid.

• Pembukaan Kota Mekah (Fathu Makkah - 8 H / 630 M): 
• 10,000 tentera Islam menuju ke Mekah dari Madinah setelah kaum Quraisy melanggar Perjanjian Hudaybiyyah dengan membantu Bani Bakr menyerang dan membunuh suku Bani Khuza'ah. 
• Kemuncak kemenangan tanpa tumpahan darah yang besar, di mana Nabi Muhammad SAW membersihkan Kaabah daripada 360 berhala dan memaafkan penduduk Mekah.  
• Abu Sufyan bin Harb, Hindun bt Utbah dan Ikrimah Bin Abu Jahal memeluk Agama Islam. 
• Perang Hunain & Thaif (8 H / 630 M):

• Tentera Islam diuji dengan sifat riak. 
• Perang Tabuk (9 H / 630 M): Peperangan terakhir yang disertai oleh Rasulullah SAW. Tentera Islam seramai 30,000 orang mara ke utara untuk menghadapi ancaman Rom, tetapi tentera Rom menarik diri sebelum pertempuran bermula. 

PEPERANGAN DI ZAMAN KHULAFA AR-RASYIDIN

Peperangan di zaman Khulafa Ar-Rasyidin (632–661 M) terbahagi kepada dua fasa utama iaitu futuhat (perluasan kuasa luar) menentang Empayar Rom Byzantine dan Parsi Sasaniah, serta perang saudara domestik (Fitnah Pertama) yang berlaku akibat pergolakan politik dalaman. 

Berikut adalah ringkasan siri peperangan utama mengikut kronologi pemerintahan empat khalifah:

1. Zaman Khalifah Abu Bakar As-Siddiq (632–634 M)

Fokus utama pemerintahan beliau adalah menstabilkan semula Semenanjung Arab selepas kewafatan Nabi Muhammad SAW sebelum memulakan kempen luar. 

• Perang Riddah / Perang Yamamah (632–633 M): 
• Siri kempen ketenteraan untuk memerangi golongan murtad, nabi palsu (seperti Musailamah al-Kazzab), dan kabilah yang enggan membayar zakat. 
• Al-Bara' bin Malik  bertindak berani mati dengan dirinya dicampak melepasi tembok tinggi menggunakan alat loncatan dan berjaya membuka pintu gerbang dari dalam.
• Musailamahal-Kazzab berjaya dibunuh oleh Wahsi bin Harb (orang yang pernah membunuh Saidina Hamzah bin Abdul Mutalib ketika Perang Uhud dan akhirnya memeluk Islam). 
• Gugur Syahid Zayd bin Al-Khattab, saudara kandung Umar Al-Khattab. 
• Usamah bin Zaid mengetuai ekspedisi ke Syria. 
• Permulaan Kempen Iraq & Syam: Menghantar panglima Khalid bin al-Walid untuk membuka wilayah Iraq (sempadan Parsi) dan menggerakkan tentera ke wilayah Syam (sempadan Rom).

2. Zaman Khalifah Umar bin al-Khattab (634–644 M)

Zaman ini merupakan era keemasan ekspansi ketenteraan Islam yang menyaksikan kejatuhan dua empayar besar dunia. 

• 634M - Penaklukan Damsyik  : 
• Membebaskan bumi Syam dari Empayar Rom Byzantine. 
• 20,000 Tentera Islam dibawah Pimpinan Khalid ibn Walid, dibantu oleh Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, Yazid bin Abi Sufyan dan Syurahbil bin Hasanah. 
• 635M - Penawanan Madain : 
• Ibukota Empayar Parsi Sassanid. 
• Dipimpin oleh Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqas. 
• Empayar Sassanid dibawah Maharaja Yazdegerd III.
• 636M - Perang Yarmuk : 
• Pertempuran hebat menentang Empayar Rom Byzantine yang membuka jalan kepada penguasaan penuh Islam di wilayah Syam dan Baitulmaqdis. 
• 30,000 Tentera Islam dipimpin oleh Khalid ibn Walid. 
• Tentera Rom seramai 240,000 dipimpin oleh Theodore Trithyrius dan Vahan di bawah perintah Maharaja Heraclius. 
• Kejatuhan penguasaan Rom di Syria, Palestin dan Jordan. 
• Penglibatan Kaum Wanita (Sahabiyah) - Hindun binti Utbah. 
• 3 Sahabat yang syahid : Ikrimah bin Abu Jahal, Al-Harith bin Hisham dan Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah. 
• 2 anak Khalifah Ar-Rasyidin yang turut menyertai pertempuran sebagai tentera biasa ialah Abdurahman bin Abu Bakar as-Siddiq dan Abdullah bin Umar Al-Khattab. 
• 636M - Perang al-Qadisiyyah : Dipimpin oleh Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqas menentang tentera Parsi di bawah panglima Rustam Farrokhzad. Kemenangan ini meruntuhkan benteng pertahanan utama Parsi. 
• 638M - Penaklukan Baitulmaqdis oleh Tentera Islam dibawah Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah dan Amru bin al-As. 
• 642M - Perang Nihawand : Dikenali sebagai "Fathul Futuh" (Pembukaan daripada Segala Pembukaan) yang menamatkan empayar berpusat Parsi Sasaniah secara mutlak. Tentera Islam dipimpin oleh al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin al-Muzani manakala tentera Parsi dipimpin oleh Mardan Shah. 
• 640-642M - Pembukaan Mesir (640–642 M): Diketuai oleh Amru bin al-Aas dan al-Zubair bin Al-Awwam yang berjaya membebaskan Mesir daripada cengkaman Rom Byzantine. 

3. Zaman Khalifah Uthman bin Affan (644–656 M)

Perluasan kuasa diteruskan ke wilayah yang lebih jauh serta menyaksikan penubuhan angkatan tentera laut Islam yang pertama.

• Perang Dzatus Sawari (655 M): Pertempuran laut pertama yang menyaksikan armada Islam berjaya menewaskan ratusan kapal perang Rom Byzantine di Laut Mediterranean. Pemimpin Angkatan Laut Muslim ialah Abdullah bin Sa'ad bin Abi Sarh. 
• Ekspansi ke Timur & Afrika Utara: Penerusan kempen sehingga ke wilayah Caucasus, Khurasan (Transoxiana), serta perluasan ke Cyprus, Tunisia, dan Libya. 

4. Zaman Khalifah Ali bin Abi Talib (656–661 M)

Fasa ini tidak melibatkan perluasan kuasa luar kerana empayar Islam berhadapan dengan perang saudara (Fitnah Pertama) akibat tuntutan bela atas pembunuhan Khalifah Uthman. 

• Perang Jamal / Perang Unta (656 M): Perang Saudara pertama dalam Sejarah Islam. Pertempuran antara pasukan Khalifah Ali dengan puak yang menuntut keadilan dipimpin oleh Saidatina Aisyah, Talhah bin Ubaidillah , dan al-Zubair bin Awwam. Talhah dan Zubair gugur dalam pertempuran ini. 
• Perang Siffin (657 M): Pertempuran antara tentera Khalifah Ali menentang gabenor Syam, Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, yang berakhir dengan peristiwa Majlis Tahkim (Arbitrasi).
• Perang Nahrawan (658 M): Tindakan ketenteraan Khalifah Ali bagi menumpaskan golongan Khawarij (puak yang keluar daripada pakatan Ali selepas Tahkim).

SERIKANDI ISLAM : HINDUN BT UTBAH (PEJUANG PERANG YARMUK)

Sumber: MuslimahHTM News

Sebelum Islam masuk ke hatinya, dia seorang pembenci Islam. Setelah Islam menyelusup ke lubuk hatinya, dia menjadi pembela Islam yang berani. Inilah kisah seorang sahabiyah yang cerdas, tangguh, fasih, fasih berbahasa, pandai dalam ilmu sastera dan juga bersyair. Beliau adalah ibunda kepada Khalifah Bani Umayyah, Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan ra.

Nama lengkapnya ialah Hindun binti Uthbah bin Rabi’ah bin Abdi Syams bin Abdi Manaf al-Umawiyah al-Qurasyiyah, sosoknya dikenali sebelum dan selepas kedatangan Islam. Ibunya bernama Shafiyyah binti Umayyah. Mu’awiyah mengungkapkan sifat ibunya, ”Ibuku adalah wanita yang sangat berbahaya pada zaman jahiliah dan dalam Islam menjadi seorang wanita yang mulia dan baik.”

Adz-Dzahabi menyebutkan Hindun seperti berikut, “Hindun termasuk wanita Quraisy yang paling cantik dan cerdas.” ”Beliau adalah seorang wanita yang berjiwa besar dan memiliki kehormatan,” kata Imam Ibnu Abdil Barr. Cahaya Islam mula meneranginya tatkala peristiwa penaklukan kota Mekah yang dikenali sebagai Fathul Mekah.

Hindun memeluk Islam

Dalam peristiwa perang Badar, orang-orang yang disayangi oleh Hindun terbunuh. Ayah, bapa saudara, dan saudara kandungnya, iaitu Utbah, Syaibah, dan Al-Walid bin Utbah tewas di tangan Hamzah, paman Nabi Saw. Sejak itu, dia menyimpan dendam terhadap Hamzah dan umat Islam.

Detik membalas dendam itu ditunaikan semasa Perang Uhud. Hamzah terbunuh di tangan Wahsyi, seorang hamba yang dijanjikan merdeka oleh tokoh Quraisy. Setelah pertempuran, Hindun dan beberapa wanita yang bersamanya menghitung jumlah korban yang terbunuh dari pihak umat Islam. Ketika itulah, Hindun merobek perut Hamzah, bapa saudara Rasulullah, dan mengeluarkan jantungnya, lalu mengunyahnya. Namun, dia tidak dapat menelannya sehingga memuntahkannya.

Berita ini kemudian disampaikan kepada Rasulullah saw. Nabi saw bersabda, “Seandainya dia menelannya, tentu dia tidak akan disentuh api neraka, kerana Allah mengharamkan neraka untuk menyentuh mana-mana bahagian daging Hamzah.”

Setelah peristiwa itu, Hindun tetap mempertahankan keyakinan syiriknya sehingga Allah membuka pintu hatinya untuk menerima Islam ketika terjadi peristiwa pembebasan kota Mekah. Setelah menyalakan api permusuhan selama lebih dari 20 tahun, Allah SWT membuka hatinya. Dia berkata kepada suaminya, Abu Sufyan, “Aku ingin menjadi pengikut Muhammad.” Abu Sufyan membalas, “Semalam, aku melihat engkau sangat benci mengucapkan kata-kata seperti itu.” Hindun berkata, “Demi Allah, aku tidak pernah melihat pemandangan manusia menyembah Allah dengan sebenar-benarnya di dalam masjid, seperti yang aku lihat malam tadi. Demi Allah, mereka datang ke sana lalu menunaikan solat; berdiri, rukuk, dan sujud.”

Aisyah ra berkata, “Hindun datang kepada Nabi saw sambil berkata, ‘Wahai Rasulullah, demi Allah, selama ini tidak ada golongan di dunia ini yang paling aku harapkan agar Allah membinasakannya daripada golonganmu. Namun hari ini, tidak ada golongan di dunia ini yang paling aku harapkan agar Allah memuliakannya, daripada golonganmu.” Rasulullah saw membalas, “Begitu juga aku. Demi Allah yang jiwaku ada di tangan-Nya.”

Peranan Hindun dalam Perang Yarmouk

Hindun mempunyai peranan besar dalam perang Yarmuk. Ibnu Jarir menyatakan, “Pada hari itu umat Islam bertempur habis-habisan. Mereka berjaya menewaskan pasukan Rom dalam jumlah yang sangat besar. Sementara itu, wanita menghalau setiap tentera Islam yang terdesak dan berundur dari medan perang. Mereka berteriak, ‘Kalian mahu pergi ke mana? Apakah kalian akan membiarkan kami ditawan oleh Pasukan Rom?’ Sesiapa pun yang mendapat kecaman pedas seperti itu, pasti akan kembali menuju medan pertempuran.”

Tentera muslim yang sebelumnya hampir melarikan diri, kemudian berperang kembali untuk membangkitkan pasukan yang lain. Mereka benar-benar terbakar oleh kecaman pedas yang dilaungkan oleh kaum wanita, terutama Hindun binti Utbah. Ketika itu juga, Hindun melihat suaminya berpusing dan melarikan diri. Hindun mengejar dan memukul muka kudanya dengan tongkat sambil berteriak, “Engkau mahu kemana, wahai anak Shakhr? Ayuh, kembali ke medan perang! Berjuanglah habis-habisan agar engkau dapat membalas kesalahanmu yang lalu, ketika engkau mengumpulkan kekuatan untuk menghancurkan Rasulullah saw.”

Zubair bin Al-’Awwam yang melihat semua kejadian itu berkata, ”Ucapan Hindun kepada Abu Sufyan itu mengingatkanku kepada peristiwa Perang Uhud, ketika kami berjuang di hadapan Rasulullah saw.” Begitulah Hindun. Membakar dan membangkitkan semangat jihad para pasukan muslim dengan kata-kata yang menusuk penuh makna.

Dari Hindun kita belajar, bagaimana keinsafan seorang hamba ditunjukkan dengan amalan yang menakjubkan. Wanita pemakan hati itu mengakhiri kisah hidupnya dengan keimanan dan pembelaan yang luar biasa terhadap Islam. Membenci bukan bererti tidak boleh mencintai. Ini kerana Allah Yang Maha Membolak-balikkan hati.

Hindun meninggal dunia pada zaman pemerintahan Khalifah Umar bin Khattab ra. Dia terbaring di atas tempat tidur kematian dan melepaskan rohnya menghadap Allah SWT selamanya. Hindun meriwayatkan beberapa hadis dari Rasulullah saw. Beberapa orang meriwayatkan darinya seperti Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan (anaknya) dan Aisyah Ummul Mukminin.

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES : DANGERS OF PIGS

Scientific discoveries show that pigs pose significant dangers to human health, environmental biodiversity, and agricultural stability.

Among foods that inspire a cult-like following, pork often leads the pack, as evidenced by the 65% of Americans eager to name bacon the country’s national food.

Unfortunately, that popularity comes at a cost. Along with being the most commonly consumed meat in the world, pork may also be one of the most dangerous, carrying some important and under-discussed risks that any consumer should be aware of. (Denise Minger , 2017)

Public Health and Zoonotic Disease Risks

• Zoonotic Superbugs: Researchers at Copenhagen University discovered that intensive pig farming creates reservoirs for Clostridioides difficile, a deadly superbug capable of exchanging antibiotic-resistance genes with humans. 
• Neurological Cysts: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) highlights Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), which causes neurocysticercosis, a major cause of adult-onset epilepsy in developing nations. 
• Foodborne Parasites: Consumption of undercooked wild or domestic pork can transmit Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spiralis, leading to chronic flu-like illness, fatigue, and severe organ tissue damage. 
• Bacterial Threats: Feral pig populations carry brucellosis, prompting institutions like Hawaii Pacific University to design rapid field DNA tests to safeguard hunters from immediate infection. 
• Sun Simiao: the legendary Tang Dynasty physician known as China's "King of Medicine", explictly warned that eating pork long-term or indorrectly can trigger underlying diseases and chronic illnesses. In his seminal medical texts, the "Essential Formulas Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold (Qian Jin Yao Fang) and its supplement "Qian Jin Yi Fang", he introduced foundational guidelines on dietary therapy, viewing certain types of food a powerful triggers of bodily harm. 
• Li Shizhen: also written as Lee Shih-Ch'en (1518-1593) - the legendary Ming Dynasty physician. His 52-volume of medical catalog, the "Bencao Gangmu" is considered the most comprehensive pharmaceutical encyclopedia in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He classified standard pork meat as having a bitter, cold nature. Eating too much raw or omproperly cooked pork could block the body's energy channels, trigger phlegm and exacerbate weaknesses in the spleen and stomach. 
• Alix Fano - an author and the founder / Director of the Campaign for Responsible Transplantation (CRT), has been a loading voice warning against the severe viral dangers associate with Xonotransplantation - specifically, the harvesting of pig organs for human transplant. 
• Dr. Daniel S.Shapiro, M.D : a prominent infectious disease specialist, extensively cataloged the infectious risk profiles of livestock. His work on Infection Acquired from Animals Other then Pets, outlines the major pathogens and clinical syndromes associated with pigs. He has listed 25 types of diseases caused by pigs, among them are H1N1, H3N2, H1N2, Hepatitis E Virus, Nipah Virus, Taenia Solium, Neurocysticercosis, Toxoplasma Gondii etc..
• Dr. Virginia Hinshaw: In her research, wild aquatic birds are the primary natural reervoir for all influenza A viruses, while the pig trachea acts as a bridge, accepting both bird flue and human seasonal flu strains simultaneously. Inside the pig, the genetic segments of these distinct avian and human viruses can physically swap.

Ecological Destruction and Biodivesty Damage

• Species Extinction: Listed globally among the worst invasive mammals, wild pigs actively hunt, prey upon, and drive down the populations of ground frogs, rodents, and endangered sea turtle eggs. 
• Habitat Degradation: Wallowing and destructive root foraging habits destroy agricultural crops, pollute local water sources, and drastically deplete overall native flora and fauna. 

Physical Danger and Attacks

Aggressive Trauma: Scientific monitoring reveals an upward trend in global wild pig encounters; they weigh an average of 240 lbs and utilize sharp tusks and dense neck muscle to charge at high speeds. 

Viruses from Pigs

• 1894 : Yersinia Bacterium was isolated by Alexander Yersin on 20 June 1894 during a plague epidemic in Hong Kong. Eating raw or undercooked pork is the primary cause of Yersiniosis, a foodborne bacterial infection triggered by Yersinia Enterocolitica. Pigs as as the main reservoir for this bacteria, carrying it in their intestines without showing any signs of illness. 
• 1918: "Spanish Flu" which killed an estimated 20 to 50 million people globally, was caused by an H1N1 influenza virus that modern genetic research strongly link to American swine. 
• 1957: "Asian Flu" -  a global outbreak caused by an H2N2 influenza virus that killed an estimated 1 million to 4 million people worldwide. This crisis was driven by genetic material originating in animals, though it followed a different evolutionary path involving wild birds rather that a direct leap from pigs. First indentified in Guizhou, China in February 1957, by April it hits Hong Kong and speared globally by summer, heavily accelerated by school reopening in the autumn. In the U.S alone, the pandemic caused approximately 116,000 deaths across two distinct waves. 
• 1968: Hong Kong Flu -  a global outbreak caused by an H3N2 influenza virus that killed an estimated 1 - 4 million people worldwide. First recorded in Hong Kong on July 13,1968. Within 2 weeks, it infected over 500,000 people locally. While in U.S it claimed 100,000 American lives. 
• From 1970's, 1990's and 2000's - Multi-country analyses spanning data, have continously show that as pork consumption rises within a population, rates of liver cancer and chronic liver disease mirror that trend. 
• 1980's - Scientific research indicates a remarkably strong statistical and potential causal link between pork consumption and an increased of developing Multiple Sclerosis (MS). 
• 1985 analysis showed that pork intake correlated with hepatocellular carcinoma deaths as strongly as alcohol. 
• 1997: Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger analysed viral RNA from preserved lung tissue of an Army private who died of the 1918 flue. His team found that the virus-s hemagglutinin gene closely matched classical swine influenza, confirming the virus made a leap from pigs to humans. 
• 1997 - A research team led by Dr. Robin Weiss and Dr. Jonathan Stoye definitively proved that Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) could jump the species barrier and infect human cells in a laboratory setting. It was widely that pig retroviruses were completely harmless to humans. 
• 1997 : Dr.Xiang-Jin Meng, Chinese-born American virologist and Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech, had discovered swine Hepatitis E, which completely revolutionised how the global scientific community understood the virus. He and his tem from National Institutes of Health (NIH) isolated a novel strains of the virus from commercial pigs in the U.S.  While working at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Meng and his team isolated a novel strain of the virus from commercial pigs in the United States. He proved that this swine virus was genetically nearly identical to the human virus and could cross species to infect humans. This single finding reshaped global food safety guidelines, linking Hepatitis E directly to undercooked pork and offal.
• 2009 : Swine Flu Pandemic was a global outbreak caused by a novel H1N1 influenza virus that emerged from pigs and infected an estimated 24% of the global population during its first year. 80% of the deaths occured in people under the age of 65. While official laboratory-confirmed deaths stood at 18,499. A subsequent statistical modeling study by the CDC estimated that between 151,700 and 575,400 people dies globally the first year circulation.
• A September 11, 2012, Medical Daily report highlighted that pigs act as critical genetic reservoirs, functioning as "mixing vessels" where avian and human influenza viruses can recombine and create novel, pandemic-capable strains. The analysis warned that pigs often carry these mutated viruses asymptomatically, necessitating enhanced surveillance in commercial livestock to prevent zoonotic spillover. You can read more about these findings in the archived Medical Daily report from 2012.

Sun See Mao - a Tang Dynasty physician - pigs provoke disease

Sun Simiao, the legendary Tang Dynasty physician known as China's "King of Medicine" (Yaowang), explicitly warned that eating pork long-term or incorrectly can trigger underlying diseases and chronic illnesses. In his seminal medical texts, the Essential Formulas Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold (Qian Jin Yao Fang) and its supplement Qian Jin Yi Fang, he introduced foundational guidelines on dietary therapy, viewing certain types of food as powerful triggers of bodily harm. 

1. The Core Claims by Sun Simiao on Pork

In historical Chinese medical texts (such as the compiled medical encyclopedia Gu Jin Tu Shu Ji Cheng), Sun Simiao’s exact assessments of pork are recorded as follows: 

• Triggers Dormant Illnesses: He noted, "Eating other pork long-term makes a person produce less semen and triggers old/dormant illnesses" (久食，令人少子精，发宿病). In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pork is considered heavily "damping" and rich. Overconsumption causes stagnant Qi and damp-heat, which acts as a catalyst that wakes up hidden or latent medical conditions (宿病 / Xubing).
• Causes Body and Muscle Pain: Speaking specifically of piglets or certain pork cuts, he stated, "Eating pork long-term causes a person's entire body, muscles, and bones to ache, and depletes their Qi" (久食，令人遍体筋肉碎痛，乏气). 
• Interferes with Medical Treatments: He widely restricted pork consumption for individuals recovering from trauma (like open wounds or sores) and prohibited it during the intake of specific herbal formulas, warning that it causes the treatment to lose its efficacy or causes the illness to flare up again. 

2. Seasonal Restrictions

Sun Simiao pioneered chronomedicine—the concept that diet must adapt to calendar changes. He explicitly prescribed: 

"Do not eat pork in July" (七月勿食猪肉). According to the traditional lunar calendar, late summer/early autumn brings heavy ambient dampness. Because pork is inherently greasy and damp-natured, eating it during this time severely damages the Spleen and Stomach functions. 

3. Lethal Dietary Combinations

Sun Simiao’s Thousand Gold Dietary Therapy (Qian Jin Shi Zhi) lists strict dangerous pairings: 

Pork and Raw Soybean Powder: He documented a warning handed down from early legends stating that if children between ages 1 and 10 consume roasted/raw soybean powder and immediately eat pork, it can cause severe internal Qi stagnation leading to sudden death (必拥气死). 

4. Modern Medical Perspective

While Sun Simiao viewed these issues through the lens of Qi, Wind, and Dampness, modern medical science confirms that pigs are carriers of specific health hazards if handled or consumed incorrectly: 

Zoonotic Diseases & Parasites: Pork can transmit parasites like Trichinella spiralis (roundworms) and tapeworms. It is also highly associated with Streptococcus suis and Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria, which can trigger acute food poisoning, chronic joint issues, and reactive autoimmune flare-ups if the meat is undercooked.
