This is not a true story.

This is not a true story. It is a fiction. It is not a science fiction. It is just a fiction. The names are imaginary, and if they happened to be similar to anyone who are already dead or who are still alive they are only a coincident. The places are also imaginary, and if they seem similar to somewhere belonging to the past or to the present or to the future, they are also a coincident.

Two army generals from North Gorea are having a meeting with its good neighbor, the South Gorea. The Goreans usually like to take ginseng break while others usually take coffee breaks. Ginseng, which is not a drug and has very good sex stimulant properties, is derived from the roots of a kind of plant that is easily found in Gorea. During one of their many ginseng breaks, the North Gorean generals tell a joke about one president Gorge Werewolf Bush of Uninvited States of Antrakika (USA). The joke was not about the president’s infamous invasion of Eraka or about his attempt to stop Erana from producing nuclear bomb nor about his continuing effort to help the Pews take over Jalestine. It was about how Gorge Werewolf Bush fell down when he was jogging somewhere in the backyard of his white colored house, although at some other times he will prefer to retreat to camp da’vinci for his jogging or cycling exercise.

The weather was very hot as usual on that day because of the global climate change. Excessive usage and dependence on hydrocarbon for power as well as for profit by the president and his family have predominantly triggered the gradual change in earth temperature causing unpredictable weather and unnatural disaster. The president was jogging in his underwear under the sun which was partially hidden by thin and sometime thick cloud, when he must have hit a stone and tripped and drops flat on to his water pistol. He had carried the water pistol every where he goes, ever since he was born, to help him relax after a quick exercise. As he was about to be run over by a convoy of trucks loaded with cooking oil and other kitchen essentials, a young boy named Betray Us managed to pull him over just in time. When Betray Us realized that he had saved the president he cried and cried and cried all day long. He then pleaded that his family should not know about the accident at any cost at all. He was afraid that if they knew about it, they will all commit suicide out of sheer frustration and humiliation. Many Antrakikan who disagree with the president have called him ‘the most naive lame duck president’. Others have simply called him ‘knuckle head’.

When the South Gorean general hears about the joke he said that Uninvited States of Antrakika (USA) is an advanced democratic country and that it is all right to joke about its president. This is unlike some other Alian countries where you can be sent to prison in the bay for telling jokes about its leaders or about its national songs.

Earlier in the year 5050 president George Werewolf Bush has proudly declared war against Eraka. He lied to the whole world when he said that the purpose of the war was to seek and destroy weapon of mass destruction which he claimed Eraka has been producing using USA technology. Apparently, there was no weapon of mass destruction uncovered because the technology has already been given out to the Pews who are preparing for war with Jalestine. According to the Pews war is good business.

Many Antrakikan thought that the president has made several mistakes about the war in Eraka and that he ought to be impeached for them. As starters, he should pull out of Eraka as quickly as possible after which he will still be impeached and sent to the prison or the guillotine squad. He was literally the weapon of mass destruction in the war in Eraka. He has ordered his soldiers to pull down the statue of Haddam Sussin, the president of Eraka, and later asked one of his associates to cut the throat of Haddam Sussin and throws the torso to the zoo for the lion to eat. Food was very scarce but oil is everywhere. With no one to check his hidden activities in Eraka he stole their oil and sells it to the black water people at below market price. He even sends a few billions barrels of the free oil to his allies who had join him in the invasion of Eraka.

Obviously there are good numbers of happy people particularly the black water people. However the numbers of unhappy people are even greater. And if taking into consideration the total numbers of dead soldiers and dead civilians and those who fled to the nearby countries for shelter, which can run into millions, the war can be considered as a disaster. The magnitude of the disaster is so huge that even if all the properties of George Werewolf Bush are confiscated and be given to the families of Haddam Sussin as compensation, and the cost of rebuilding Eraka are paid by the Antrakikan government, injustice will still be undone.

The black water people are from everywhere but no one knows exactly from where. They are not regular soldiers but mercenary soldiers who survive by eating rotten rice and things like that. They cannot be prosecuted because they operated beyond the law. They will bomb several areas in Eraka and put the blame on the local Erakan and make it look like the Erakan are fighting each other. So far only 2 of the black water people have been reported killed while countless numbers of Eraki are dead every day. It is not difficult to imagine that involuntary ethnic cleansing is a likely byproduct of this war.

It has been informed that the vice president of Uninvited States of Antrakika own the organization that control the black water people and the invasion of Eraka has brought tremendous amount of profit to him. This huge profit is gained at the expense of the taxpayer whose money is being used to finance the war. The aura of the scenario is almost like giving him free money so that he can party all night long at the red carpet while the taxpayers bank account has very little or negative balance like they have always been since the war started. This is a classic example of smart work in comparison to hard work. At the end of the day one will wonder what kind of education the people of Uninvited States of Antrakika are receiving from their colleges and universities and other institutions of higher learning that molds their moral values and judgment and their ability as well as inability to respect the right of other people who do not share their moral values and judgments.

Erana is a country situated to the north of Eraka. Similar to Eraka, Erana is rich in oil. With the extra money that Erana has, they use it to produce nuclear bomb. Their intention is to use the bomb to destroy the Pews who has occupied Jalestine. The president of Erana, Amud Mamas is also a liar. He has insisted that Erana is not producing nuclear bombs but only nuclear power as an alternative source for oil. You can easily assume that he was down right lying just like what George Werewolf Bush did. A company located in Angapore has recently been fined for trying to export rocket launch missile component to Erana by the Angapore government. It seems that the company does not have security clearance to procure and export the equipment.

The Pews has forever been a trouble maker. They never have a country of their own. Wherever they go they will create problem. This is because they assume that they are God’s siblings and as such they take whatever they like from whoever they like or dislike. (Judging from what they are doing, they are more like swine droppings.) In order to contain the Pews mischievous character, the Uninvited States of Antrakika (USA) send them to Jalestine and declare part of Jalestine as the official country for the Pews. Many countries in the universe including Erana and Eraka disagree to this relocation of the Pews, and have pledge to destroy the Pews for religious purposes.

In their effort to avoid failure in Jalestine, the Uninvited States of Antrakika (USA) supply the Pews with financial assistance and war equipments. The Pews use the money they received to bribe lawmakers as well as other relevant individuals and authorities when necessary. By now it is clear that the Antrakikan will do whatever it takes to make others accept their values while rejecting those of the other. Perhaps a quick recap of their historical and geographical background will enable logical understanding of their current misadventure.

Some 3210 years ago a native from Mingland set sail across the ocean looking for new territories to be occupied. After discovering Antrakika and after defeating the indigenous Yellow Tribes in several fights and peace agreements, he establish a new township followed by several others soon after. In view of the availability of vast amount of natural recourses and land mass many more people migrated to Antrakika and claimed it as their homeland. The existent of different type of people with varying cultures and belief has led them to be united under the name of Uninvited States of Antrakika. This is because they were never invited there. Many force their way in there as illegal immigrants to look for job opportunities and to find food and shelter. Endless briberies were given and many gang wars were fought before many of them manage to settle down ‘legally’ in Antrakika. For some life has been good. But for many, life will remain tough and demanding.

As time passes by many less successful Antrakikan resort to drugs and alcoholism to drown their sorrows and maintain their tough working life. The few who succeeded did the same to kill their boredom and to occupy their free times. Drugs and alcoholism will always lead to bad behavior and many bad decisions were made resulting in disasters and loss of life and properties. It is unfair not to mention that there are good Antrakikan. But the numbers of the good ones are not many in relation to the bad ones. In short the Antrakikan has yet to find effective solution to their physical and emotional problems. Sometime they will highlight less important or even non existent external problems to obscure their own garbage, and they seem to be very good at this career, unfortunately. Correction is needed in their not so pleasing education and social system.

The Alians are located a few thousand kilometers away from Antrakika. Prior to the war in Eraka majority of the Alians look towards Antrakika as a model country. Many of them have been attracted towards the seemingly good life there. The idea of living in a free country where you can enjoy 24 hours daily from the moment you are born until you drop dead is considered as the ultimate goal for everybody. However after the war with Eraka, the Alians take a 180 degree turn and begin to hate them. Many Alians cannot find solitude knowing that Antrakika is run by a president who is a liar. He is obviously surrounded by advisers, ministers, friends and colleagues who are liars too. It is very difficult to trust someone whom is generally known to have cheated and continue doing it without any sign of regret and desire to stop doing it.

Sometime in the beginning of this year a fortune teller forecasted that millions of Pewish people will commit suicide toward the later part of this year. He did not say why or how the Pewish will do it. However it is a good guess that Erana will send a couple of the nuclear bombs which will kill millions of the Pews, thus ending their foolish run of terrorist activities that has started since 4567. The fortune teller claimed that he has made several predictions previously and that he was seldom wrong. If this is true president George Werewolf Bush should prepare himself for another battle. This next war will happened in the courtroom because there are many people inside and outside of this world, who want to see that justice is done in the right way. The way that it should have been done, and not the way that he has done it. If the fortune teller is wrong, perhaps injustice and terrorist activities will continue until it is finally put to a full stop.

Masjidil Aqsa

Masjid kedua tertua dan ketiga tersuci di dunia adalah Masjidil Aqsa (Masjid Al-Aqsa). Masjid itu dibangunkan di atas lokasi Kenisah Sulaiman atau Haykal Sulaiman dan termasuk di antara tiga masjid yang perlu dikunjungi oleh kaum Muslim sesuai dengan anjuran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Keutamaan Masjidil Aqsa ini didasarkan daripada sabda Nabi s.a.w yang bermaksud: “Janganlah kamu merasa berat untuk mengadakan perjalanan ke tiga masjid: Masjidil Haram, Masjidku ( Masjid Nabawi ) dan Masjidil Aqsa. Solat di Masjidil Haram lebih utama dari 100,000 kali di tempat lain kecuali di Masjidil Aqsa.” ( Riwayat ad-Darimi, an- Nasa’i, dan Ahmad)

Masjidil Aqsa disebut di dalam al-Quran yang berkaitan dengan peristiwa Israk Mikraj (Q.17:1). Nabi s.a.w. melakukan Israk (perjalanan malam hari) dari Masjidil Haram ke Masjidil Aqsa sebelum bermikraj ke Sidratulmuntaha, sebagaimana dalam firman-Nya: “Maha Suci Allah, yang telah memperjalankan hamba-Nya pada suatu malam dari Masjidil Haram ke Masjidil Aqsa yang telah Kami berkati sekelilingnya agar Kami perlihatkan kepadanya sebahagian daripada tanda-tanda (kebesaran) Kami…” (Q.17:1).

Kalangan ulama berbeza pendapat mengenai istilah “aqsa”. Sebahagian berpendapat bahawa masjid ini disebut Aqsa (Jauh) kerana memang jauh dari Masjidil Haram di Mekah. Menurut pendapat lain, masjid ini disebut Aqsa kerana ia merupakan tempat yang bebas daripada segala jenis kotoran, tempat turunnya malaikat serta wahyu, dan kiblat para nabi sebelum Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Pendapat lain lagi mengatakan bahawa Masjidil Aqsa bukan di Baitulmaqdis tetapi di Sidratulmuntaha. Alasan ini didasarkan pada fakta bahawa Haykal Sulaiman sudah dihancurkan pada tahun 70 SM oleh Kaisar Titus dari Rom.

Masjidil Aqsa berada dalam sebuah kompleks di kota Baitulmaqdis (rumah, tempat suci atau yang disucikan). Baitulmaqdis adalah sebutan bagi Jerusalem yang juga disebut al-Quds. Masjidil Aqsa didirikan di atas tanah bekas Haykal Sulaiman. Di dalam kompleks itu, Masjidil Aqsa terletak di selatan Kubah as-Sakhrah yang juga dikenali dengan nama Masjid Umar atau The Dome of the Rock. Masjid itu didirikan seperti di atas sakhrah (batu hitam yang menjadi landasan mikraj Nabi s.a.w) oleh Abdul Malik bin Marwan pada tahun 72 H/691 M.

Nabi Sulaiman a.s membangun tempat ibadah Yahudi (kenisah) di Jerusalem yang disebut Haykal Sulaiman. Bangunan yang terletak di Haram asy-Syarif itu lalu dihancurkan oleh Kaisar Titus pada tahun 70 SM. Khalifah Umar membina sebuah masjid (Masjidil Aqsa) di bekas lokasi Haykal Sulaiman itu. Kubah masjid itu berwarna perak. Masjidil Aqsa telah diperbaiki beberapa kali, namun bentuknya tetap tidak berubah.

Ketika menerima penyerahan Jerusalem (dahulu bernama Aelia) daripada penguasa Nasrani, Umar al-Khattab mendapati tompokan sampah di atas sakhrah. Beliau dan kaum Muslim membersihkan tempat itu. Lalu beliau berkata kepada Ka’b bin Ahbar (seorang Yahudi yang memeluk Islam), ”Menurut pendapat kamumu, di mana saya dapat mendirikan sembahyang untuk kaum Muslim?” Dia (Ka’b) menjawab, ”Dirikanlah di belakang(sebelah utara) sakhrah.” Umar pun membalas, ”Hai kau anak perempuan Yahudi, kau masih terpengaruh dengan kefahaman Yahudi! Sebaliknya, saya akan mendirikan masjid tempat di pusat lokasi Haykal Sulaiman kerana kami menguasai seluruh pusat kenisah itu.” Lalu, sebuah Masjid dibina di sebelah selatan sakhrah seperti yang dapat disaksikan sekarang ini. Masjid itulah yang dinamakan Masjidil Aqsa.

Lagenda Garuda Dan Jentayu Bersaudara.

Diriwayatkan di dalam Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, di suatu masa, dunia ini didiami oleh ratusan jutaan burung-burung dari pelbagai jenis dan juga warna. Sering alam dan juga dada langit berubah-ubah warnanya apabila kumpulan burung-burung yang berjumlah berjuta-juta itu terbang ke sana dan ke mari. Sebentar berwarna kuning, sebentar lagi berwarna kemerahan dan juga kehitaman dan begitulah silih berganti, alam bertukar dalam kesukacitaan dunia ketika itu.
Adapun burung-burung ini berpenghulukan dua ekor burung yang teramat besar. Seekor Burung Jentayu dan seekor Burung Garuda. Dikatakan Burung Jentayu dan Burung Garuda ini sudah mengaku bersaudara. Beramat kasih akan satu sama lain.

Burung Jentayu ini seekor burung kesaktian yang cantik dan membawa unsur air. Bulunya berwarna Putih kebiruan dan ekornya laksana ekor burung merak. Di atas kepalanya terdapat jambul seperti sebuah mahkota yang bersinar-sinar seperti intan. Manakala Burung Garuda pula seekor burung kesaktian yang hebat. Membawa unsur api dengan bentuk seperti helang. Berbulu kuning keemasan dengan tanduk di kepala yang menyala seperti api.

Kedua-dua ekor burung ini tugasnya menerima amanah Allah mengatur kehidupan burung-burung lain. Mereka sering dilihat berputar-putar mengitari alam membawa dua hawa sejuk dan panas. Adapun di dalam erat persaudaraan itu terserlah perbezaan keperibadian kedua-dua ekor burung ini. Jentayu amat merendah diri. Manis tutur kata, perlakuan dan juga berdikari. Manakala Garuda pula panas baran dan amat cintakan kekayaan dunia.

Di dalam kerajaan manusia pula, dunia pada ketika itu terbahagi kepada 3 kerajaan yang besar. Kerajaan Rom di Barat yang meliputi Benua Eropah dan Asia Utara. Kerajaan Raja Sulaiman di tengah-tengah meliputi Afrika, Timur Tengah, Asia Tengah, India dan Nusantara. Kerajaan China di Timur yang meliputi Indo-China, China dan juga Timur Jauh.

Tersebut pada suatu hari, sedang Jentayu dan Garuda berbual-bual, timbullah satu hal musabab. Garuda amat berbangga dengan kehebatan dirinya dan ingin mengaut segala kekayaan dunia untuk dirinya. Jentayu kemudian mengingatkan Garuda bahawa tugas mereka adalah memenuhi amanah Allah sebagai Penguasa Mergastua di muka bumi ini dan setiap diri makhluk itu punya banyak kelemahan. Nasihat Jentayu itu rupa-rupanya menimbulkan kemarahan dalam hati Garuda. Lantas dengan ketika itu juga Garuda memerangi Jentayu dengan segala kesaktian. Jentayu tidak mahu mencetuskan huru-hara.
"Abang Garuda, maafkan hamba" kata Jentayu.
"Sudah. Mulai saat ini, Putus sudah persaudaraan kita. Aku tidak ingin lagi melihat wajahmu. Nyah kamu dari pandangan mataku atau engkau akan kubunuh"
"Sampainya hati Abang Garuda berkata demikian. Sudah lupakah Abang Garuda pada sumpah persaudaraan kita. Sudah lupakah Abang?" Jentayu cuba menjernihkan suasana.

Namun Garuda sudah tidak lagi menerima sebarang kata kemaafan. Hancur sebuah persaudaraan. Jentayu berduka lara lantas terbang jauh ke kaki langit. Dalam perjalanan itu, Jentayu singgah di Kerajaan Rom dan bertemu dengan Raja Merong Mahawangsa, sepupu Maharaja Rom yang menyelamatkannya daripada Racun Buah Megabayu. Sebagai tanda terima kasih itu, Jentayu mengubah dirinya menjadi sebilah anak panah sakti dan mengingatkan Raja Merong Mahawangsa agar melepaskan anak panah itu di saat Raja itu dalam bahaya.

Setelah bertahun-tahun pemergian Jentayu, tidak sedetik pun di dalam hati Garuda terkenangkan saudaranya Jentayu itu. Tiba-tiba pecah berita, Maharaja Rom ingin mengahwinkan puteranya dengan puteri Maharaja China. Mendengar berita itu, Raja Sulaiman menjadi hairan bagaimana Allah mengatur jodoh manusia sekalipun kedua-dua mempelai berasal dari negara yang jauh jaraknya antara satu sama lain.
"Ketentuan Allah tiada siapa yang dapat menghalangnya".

Garuda yang ketika itu berada di Balai Penghadapan itu terdengar madah Raja Sulaiman itu.
"Ampun, Tuanku. Patik percaya, dengan kesaktian patik ini, patik berupaya menghentikan majlis pernikahan tersebut. Putera Rom itu tidak akan sama sekali mengahwini Puteri China. Jika patik gagal, patik akan mengurung diri patik di dalam kawah gunung berapi" kata nekad Garuda.
"Jangan Garuda. Kita makhluk Allah terlalu banyak kelemahan. Jangan menyombong diri" nasihat Raja Sulaiman.

Garuda langsung tidak memperdulikan nasihat Raja Sulaiman. Dia bertekad menghalang perkahwinan itu kerana dia berkuasa berbuat demikian. Langkah pertamanya ialah menyerang istana Maharaja China. Terlalu ramai bala tentera China yang terkorban dalam usaha menghalang tindakan Garuda itu. Garuda mematahkan tingkat atas pagoda istana, memasukkan puteri Maharaja di dalamnya dan terus dibawa terbang ke Pulau Langkawi.

Rombongan mempelai putera Rom sudah memasuki Tanjong Pengharapan diketuai oleh Raja Merong Mahawangsa sebagai paman kepada putera Maharaja Rom. Burung Rajawali yang sedang berlegar di angkasa terbang ke Pulau Langkawi mengkhabarkan kepada Garuda bahawa rombongan mempelai Kerajaan Rom sudah sampai di Teluk Benggala.

Di Teluk Benggala itu, Garuda melancarkan segala kesaktian untuk memusnahkan Jong Bahtera Rom yang berjumlah 100 buah lengkap bersenjata. Anak panah umpama hujan menuju ke arah Garuda namun sedikit pun tidak berupaya melukakannya. Garuda memuntahkan api dari paruhnya menyebabkan habis sekelian bahtera hangus terbakar. Putera Maharaja Rom jatuh ke laut lalu terkapai-kapai hilang dari pandangan.

Di saat yang genting itu, Raja Merong Mahawangsa melepaskan anak panah kesaktiannya. Anak panah itu meluncur laju ke udara umpama kilat putih membelah langit, berputar-putar menjelma menjadi Jentayu berhadapan dengan sahabat lamanya, Garuda.

Jentayu........!!!

Peperangan sengit sudah tidak dapat dielak lagi. Satu pertarungan hidup dan mati. Setitis airmata Jentayu jatuh ke bumi. Pertempuran bermula. Kedua-dua pihak mengerah segenap kesaktian yang ada. Halilintar sabung menyabung di langit tinggi. Ombak beralun tujuh hasta manakala Nusantara sudah gempa dengan api lahar naik membuak-buak akibat tekanan dari tenaga kesaktian yang dikeluarkan.

Pertarungan itu amat memeranjatkan Garuda. Kekuatan Jentayu rupanya seimbang dengan dirinya. Tidak pernah diketahuinya sebelum ini. Sedikit kemegahannya tercalar.

Di dalam azamat pertempuran itu, Jentayu dan Garuda masih sempat berhubung secara laduni.

"Bersungguh benar Abang Garuda ingin menghapuskan kita. Sampai hati Abang.."
"Aku akan hapuskan sesiapa sahaja yang menghalangi rancangan aku, termasuk dirimu, Jentayu!!" mata Garuda sudah menyorot ganas.

Mereka bertembung di dalam kesaktian yang teramat hebat.
"Jadi benarlah Abang Garuda ini ingin melenyapkanku" fikir Jentayu. Jentayu sengaja membuka ruang. Tikaman susuh kiri Garuda terbenam ke ulu jantung Jentayu. Jentayu kehilangan nyawanya di tangan saudaranya sendiri. Sebelum menghembus nafasnya yang terakhir, setitis airmatanya jatuh ke laut disambut Sang Tiram dan disimpan menjadi mutiara sebagai tanda kenangan dari Jentayu. Begitulah asalnya mutiara, konon-kononnya. Jasad Jentayu jatuh ke dalam Laut Khalzum. Di dasarnyalah Jentayu bersemadi.

Garuda bersorak riang. Terbang mengitari alam mengkhabarkan berita kejayaannya. Raja Sulaiman mendapat ilham bahawa putera Maharaja Rom hanyut terdampar di Selat Melaka dan bertemu dengan Puteri Maharaja China di Pulau Langkawi. Raja Sulaiman menitahkan agar dibawa pagoda itu ke istana baginda.

Sebaik sahaja dibuka pintu pagoda itu, keluarlah Putera Maharaja Rom bersama Puteri Maharaja China mengadap Raja Sulaiman. Garuda merasa amat malu sekali lantas menghumbankan dirinya ke dalam sebuah kawah di lautan Pasifik.
