Where are we now muslims?

Assalamualaikum wbt...

"Welcome to the Dark Ages or as it should be known the Golden Ages..Who are you? I am Al-jazzri.Engineer and engineers' inventor.I thought you said it was dark ages.It doesn't look very dark.That's because it is all a matter of perspective my soon to be illuminated friends. Of course that pass the world that went dark at all but in the civilization that stretched from Spain to China; the golden rays of discovery and inventions shine over everything. What civilization? The muslims civilization my young friend."

The above dialogues are taken from one of the conversations in a video entitled "1001 inventions: The library of secrets". What it is all about? I bet you can guess from the above dialogues. Well, you can watch it

Here 1001 inventions: The library of secrets 1

and here 1001 inventions: the library of secrets 2..


How were the videos? Interesting indeed rite !!..I would like to end this post using a 'poem' from Syed Naquib Al-Attas..Insyaallah this 'poem' might be the best conclusion for this post.


Aku melihat dunia hari ini
Orang Islam macam digenggam
Belenggu orang kafir
Akhirat mereka luput
Dunia pun tercicir
Budaya jahil tidak diambil peduli
Melampau-lampau dalam hiburan
Khayalan keterlaluan

Luas.....luas membanjir
Teruk...tak tertaksir orang yang karam
Barus, Singkel, Pasai, Ranir, Cordoba, Baghdad, Andalus
Hilang ....hilang ditelan zaman
Kita lupa semua jawapan persoalan kehidupan

Yang mahir dihafal
Mampukah kita nak jawab di depan Mungkar dan Nakir nanti?
Setengah-setengah orang kata,
sejarah ini ibarat pentas bermain wayang
Cerita-cerita lampau dihurai, dipanjang-panjang
Bila tamat diulang ....dan diulang ....ulang kembali

Kalau begitu, takkanlah mustahil
Untuk giliran Islam pula yang mendatang
Tamadun kita yang lama dahulu yang indah gemilang
Hidup semula, kembali segar-bugar terbentang,
Di dunia yang luas.

Syed Naquib Al-Attas

Aseef jiddan becoz I am not able to upload the videos here..But if anyone wants the video, can just buzz me then I'll try to send it to you.

Wallahualam..
