2009-tahun PhD...Proses dari permohonan scholarship hingga memulakan pengajian sebenarnya lebih setahun...Teringat kembali saat bertungkus lumus, tonggang terbalik menelaah literature & melahirkan proposal phd yang "canggih" di saat org lain sedang beraya sakan. Masa tu d rumah mertaua..sanggup tinggal sensorang d rumah ( & kena marah dgn suami sbb x ikut beraya) semata2 nak siapkan proposal tu, sebab tarikh tutup right after cuti raya...kenangan yg sakit ketika dilalui, tetapi manis utk dikenang sekarang...
Interview PhD. bulan Disember.. masih teringat debarannya yang mencemaskan..apa taknya, sehari sebelum tu, masih melakukan editing sana sini, sampai tgh malam... tak sempat print malam tu sbb dah ngantuk sangat..(berbeza dgn kawan2 lain yg dah siap binding awal2 lg..). Pagi2 nak g interview tu lah kalut print..5 copies..pastu stapler je..sempoi..dgn harapan, sempat singgah d kedai utk bind. Gi kedai, kedai d TTDI, kedai blum buka-apa taknya, baru 7am..Sblm masuk UiTm, singgah d SS2 kot2 ada kedai dah buka utk bind..Alhamdulillah,,ada la 1 kedai dah buka dan dgn cepat dan efisyennya, bind proposal tu dgn cepat..Then, trus speed ke bangunan Canseleri tmpat interview akan dibuat..
Sesampai di tempat dituju, ruang menunggu telah dipenuhi kawan2, calon2 yang akan berjuang d medan interview hari ini..Lbh kurang 16 orang kami semuanya..Belum sempat benafas panjang, namaku dipanggil..Aduss..aku antara 4 orang pertama yang akan dipanggil masuk..Alhamdulillah..segalanya berjalan lancar..keluar dengan perasaan lega..keputusannya kuserah bulat2 pd Allah…segalanya di tangan Dia..Walaupun aku habis awal, kutunggu hingga semua calon selesai interview..he he..maklumlah, tentu setiap org keluar dgn cerita2 hangat masing2 ttg apa soalan ‘thrill’ yang diterima..dan yang penting, habis sesi di Canseleri, kami berangkat beramai2 meraikan hari penting dan menjamu selera d SACC Mall. Kini semuanya tinggal kenangan. Saat ini, masing2 kami sedang berjuang di medan sebenar, medan PhD. Ada yg bermula awal, seawal Mei (Roziya-Melbourne) dan aku antara yg paling akhir memulakan pengajian..register UniSA 7 Dis 2009. Apa taknya..liku2 perjalanan dari Dis 2008-Dis 2009 sungguh panjang dan berkeluk-keluk..
Selain interview PhD, Dis 2008 juga menyaksikan debaran & nafas2 cemas aku melalui PTK5 ’dgn jayanya’. Di saat kawan2 kebanyakannya membatalkan penyertaan mereka kerana kurang sedia, aku mengambil keputusan utk terus redah sahaja..mungkin kerana kata2 semangat org sekeliling dan mengingatkan lps ni tak tau bila lg aku berpeluang menyertainya andai aku berpeluang dpt PhD ke luar negara..
Pengalaman perasaan bagaikan tercabut jantung rasanya, menyedari ahli kumpuanku terdiri dari org2 yg hebat2 belaka..bekas dekan, tembalan dekan, ketua jabatan, pemenang anugerah research d Geneve, Korea etc..dan evaluator pula Prof Habibah yg mmg kukenali kehebatannya..dan PM Hamidah yang terkenal tegasnya..Aduss..masih teringat berkongsi rasa kecut dgn K Sai..Rasa cam nak tercabut kepala lutut melihat hasil research peserta lain yg hebat2..aku?? jauh panggang dari api!!!Debaran kekecutannya mmg sgt hebat..rasanya tak pernah rasa camtu sblm ni...namun kugagahkan jua..(tksh kata2 semangat K Sai..yg kelihatannya selamba..tp rupanya dia kata dia pun kekecutan jg, cam aku..)..hingga selesai..dan rasa teruja dgn komen penilai2 terhadap hasilan & persembahanku yang tak seberapa itu..Alhamdulillah..terasa leganya bila habis PTK tu bagaikan baru lepas keluar dari penjara api...
5 Jan 2009..tarikh keramat..terima keputusan interview biasiswa PhD..dan tuah badan,,aku satu2nya yg ditawarkan tempat ke luar negara (kecuali UK)-mana2 negara tanpa sekatan..kwn2 lain yg 5 org lg yg dpt ke luar negara semuanya samada Australia/New Zealand shj..kini..pilihanku menjadi begitu luas...itulah agaknya prosesnya menjadi panjang hingga setahun..Kalau dibenarkan ke UK spt yang kuharapkan, rasanya prosesnya kan cepat sbb dah ada potential supervisor..bila dikecualikan UK, tepaksalah cari2 semula bakal supervisor..dipendekkan cerita, Prof Luciana Duranti yang kukenali ketika International Congress on Archives KL 2008, setuju utk menjadi supervisorku..jadi , halatujuku kini ialah University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada...kebetulan pula, external examiner FPM, Prof Edie, bekas Dekan School of Info, UBC Canada, datang mengunjungi fakulti sebaik sahaja aku mendapat persetujuan Prof Luciana..dan teruslah diadakan sesi ’interview’ aku dgnnya..dan jalannya nampak mudah, Alhamdulillah..tinggal lagi, aku perlu menduduki peperiksaan GRE bg memenuhi syarat kemasukan..GRE oh GRE..dan masa oh masa..dgn kesibukanku dgn tugas mengajar 24 jam + OBE + etc etc, dan dgn ’susah’nya exam GRE yang mewajibku mengikuti kelas kalau nak lulus, aku tak sempat mendudukinya by April spt yg diminta UBC (utk membolehkan enrol Sept 2009), aku hanya ada 2 pilihan..Ubc beri saranan ambik GRE exam kemudian dan masuk enrolment 2010 (Sept), atau aku kena cari alternative ke negara.uni lain d dunia ni...
Selepas perbincanga dgn pihak BLPS, mereka sarankan aku cari tmpat lain atas alasan bulan Sept 2010 terlalu jauh dari Dis 1009 utk ditangguhkan..jadi setelah menimbang tara berbagai faktor termasuk education anak2, bahasa etc, aku memilh Australia/NZ..dan akhirnya spls berhempas pulas mencari, dgn bantuan Dr Abdullah, aku berjaya mendapatkan Dr Simon Shurville dari UniSA utk menjadi supervisorku.. Hanya selepas 1 atau 2 kali berkomunikasi dgn Dr Simon, aku mendapat tahu dia mendapat massive stroke dan UniSA mencari pengganti utkku..Dr Abrar Haider. Alhamdulillah, bagaimana pun caranya, akhirnya Dr Abrar yang ditemukan Allah itu begitu baik orangnya, seorang muslim pula...
Plan asal, nak bertolak Julai, tapi manusia merancang, ttp perancangan Allah adalah terbaik..akhirnya, 5 Dis dihari lahirku, tarikh itulah aku ditakdirkan menjejakkan kaki d bumi Adelaide ini...
Hikmahnya tentu sekali ada, atau banyak..Cuma kita yang mungkin tak nampak semuanya..tetapi setakat ini, aku sendiri merasakan terlalu banyak hikamahnya dgn kelewatan keberangkatanku kesini..banyak perkara yg x akan berlaku atau x akan telaksana/selesai kalau kami bertolak lebih awal..hikmah..atau ujian, hanya Allah yang tahu secara tepat...banyak perkara yg kulihat sebangai hikmah, ada juga kulihat sebagai ujian, dan ada juga yg kulihat sebagai hikmah dan ujian sekaligus...Wallahu a’lam. Apa-apapun, setinggi-tinggi kesyukuran kurafakkan di atas segala kurnianya ini....(..., ESQ165, kerja2 suami yg sempat dilangsaikannya dan byk lg..)..Semuanya dgn kehendak Allah jua..
Dan Alhamdulillah..berita gembira diterima keputusan PTK5 ku-Aras 4. Tp agak menyedihkan markah SKT/prestasiku(2008) merudum jatuh, despite tahun itulah performanceku yg paling terbaik kurasakan..antaranya penggerakUnit Kualiti fakulti (S?U) (menang AKNC lg tu!!), international Conference London, etc etc..entahlah..kuserahkan pd Allah jua..
Hari ini ,2 Januari 2010, hampir sebulan tepat kumenjejakkan kaki di bumi Adelaide bersama keluarga tercinta..Syukur yang teramat dgn suasana baru yang dikurniakan ini..keakraban warga Malaysia di sini, keselesaan tmpat tinggal, keceriaan anak2, kebaikan SV, budaya baru etc.. Namun yang ditinggalkan tetap dirindui setiap masa.... Mujur jg x jadi ke Vancouver, yang tak memungkinkan org2 yang nak datang menjenguk, dtg dgn mudah kerana terlalu jauh & mahal..di sini..lebih dekat dan mudah utk dtg...Lgpun d Vancouver suhunya sentiasa terlalu sejukkk...

Kembali lagi...tgu visa PhD

Blogku yang baru dibuat kurang 3 bulan lepas, dah 80 posts, dan yg satu lagi dah lebih 100 posts...
Tuhan, aku tahu Kau mengujikau bersebab..dan atas nama kasih sayang... Kan kuharungi jua ujian itu semoga aku berjaya lepasinya..dah mendapat ganjarannya, menikmati kemanisannya...berakhir dengan yang terbaik...mengecapi hasil kesabaran yang kupertahankan...
Tuhan, permudahkanlah segala urusanku dan keluargaku..KepadaMu aku menyerahkan bulat2 nasibku, disamping usaha dan doa yang tak berkesudahan.. Bimbinglah aku selalu...dalam tindakanku, pemikiranku, fikiranku dan segalanya...

BAHAYA! TABIAT MEMBUANG MASA
Pepatah mengatakan "Angin yang sama meniup kita, ianya bergantung
kepada kita untuk melayarinya". Setiap insane mempunyai jumlah
waktu yang sama dalam sehari, iaitu 24 jam. Apa yang menentukan
kejayaan seseorang itu adalah kecekapannya dalam mengurus 24jam
sehari nya.
Tabiat membuang masa, atau sering dikenali sebagai
"proscastinantion" adalah tabiat yang merugikan kita. Sering kali,
kita menunda-nundakan sesuatu kerja, sehingga produktiviti kita
untuk mencapai kejayaan menurun.
Berikut adalah 4 cara bagaimana anda boleh membuang tabiat buang
masa ini:
MATLAMAT DIKECILKAN
Seringkali kita membuang masa oleh kerana melihat sesuatu kerja itu
terlalu besar untuk ditangani. Adakalanya matlamat yang terlalu
besar menyebabkan kita kurang berkeyakinan dan kurang bermotivasi
untuk mencapainya. Dilihat seperti kerja yang bakal dilalui amat
besar dan tidak kesampaian!
Apa yang anda harus lakukan adalah, pecahkan matlamat yang besar
itu kepada matlamat yang lebih kecil. Matlamat untuk mengumpul 10
ribu ringgit mungkin bunyinya besar, tetapi sekiranya dipecah
kepada unit yang lebih kecil, iaitu menyimpan RM500 setiap bulan,
matlamat akan tercapai juga dalam masa 20 bulan
TINGKATKAN KEKUATAN TENAGA
Sering kali kerja ditunda atau kerja tidak dapat disiapkan adalah
kerana badan kita terasa penat. Mata kita terasa mengantuk dan
tubuh kita tidak rasa selesa untuk meneruskan sebarang kerja.
Sebab ini adlaah, tidak kira sekeras mana anda kerja, tidak kira
berapa jam anda melakukan tugas anda, sekiranya badan anda tidak
mampu menahan bebanan tersebut, produktiviti anda akan berkurangan.
Ambil masa untuk berehat. Tubuh manusia boleh bertahan pada tahap
produktiviti yang tinggi dalam lingkungan 8-9 jam sahaja. Itu pun
sekiranya mempunyai tubuh yang sihat. Adakalanya, dengan hanya
melelapkan mata atau menambahkan masa tidur anda di malam hari, ia
akan menyegarkan semula tubuh anda untuk menjadi lebih produktif
pada keesokan hariinya. Sekiranya anda sering tidur 5-6 jam sahaja
oleh kerana kerja yang banyak, saya cadangkan anda tambahkan masa
tidur anda untuk menyegarkan tubuh anda.
Lakukan aktiviti senaman dari masa ke semasa, kata pakar kesihatan
tidak semestinya anda bersenam setiap hari, walaupun bersenam
setiap hari adalah terbaik. Tetapi, beri masa untuk bersenam selang
beberapa hari untuk menguatkan lagi tubuh anda dan daya ketahanan
badan anda dengan tekanan kerja.
Jaga makan dan minum anda. Kita di Malaysia adalah dalam keadaan
disadvantage oleh kerana makanan kita agak berat jika dibandingkan
dnegan makanan barat. Tetapi, perhatikan daya ketahanan mereka di
barat gaya sihat. Tubuh mereka lebih kuat walaupun umur meningkat.
Makan seperti ahli sukan dan bersenam selalu. Tubuh anda akan rasa
sihat, badan anda akan rasa segar- ia akan menambahkan produktiviti
kerja anda. Tiada lagi rasa malas dalam memulakan sesuatu kerja!

SUARA POSITIF
Bagaimana tindakan kita bergantung kepada suara yang sering kita
masukkan di dalam minda kita. Buang segala suara-suara negative
seperti saya akan gagal. Saya tidak dapat melakukan kerja ini.
Orang lain tidak akan suka dengan hasil kerja saya. Gantikannya
dengan suara suara positif- saya akan berjaya, saya akan menyiapkan
kerja ini dengan sempurna dan orang akan memuji hasil kerja saya.
Jadi seorang yang optimis dan berfikiran positif, ini akan
memudahkan segala kerja yang anda lakukan. Walaupun mungkin keadaan
sekeliling menyebabkan perasaan anda lemah dan tidak bermaya,
masukkan gambaran-gambaran positif di minda anda.
Terdapat satu istilah ini mengatakan bahawa kita gembira oleh
kerana kita menyanyi. Dan bukan sebaliknya kita menanyi kerana kita
gembira!
Mereka yang optimis akan...
- Sering melihat segala kebaikan di keliling anda dalam apa
keadaan sekali pun
- Pelajari daripada apa sahaja kesusahan yang dilalui dan terima
dengan hati terbuka
- Sering mencari penyelesaian daripada maslalah, dan bukannya
memperbesarkan suatu maslaah.
Orang yang berjaya sering mencerita tentang matlamat mereka. Mereka
sering berceirta tentang masa depan dan bukan mengungkit masa
silam. Lebih positif diri kita, lebih bersemangat dan lebih
produktif kerja yang dilakukan oleh kerana kita akan menjadi
seperti apa yang kita fikirkan selalu. Fikirkan boleh!
PRINSIP 80-20
Bagaimana kalau saya katakan anda boleh menjimatkan 2 jam dalam
setiap hari anda. Sudah tentu, bunyinya agak menarik!
Prinsip Pareto ini mengatakan bahawa 20% daripada masa yang di
ambil untuk menyiapkan sesuatu tugasan adalah untuk 80% hasil
daripada tugas tersebut. Dalam erti kata lain, produktiviti anda
akan menurun selepas 20% masa anda diambil!
Oleh itu, bagaimana caranya menggunakan prinsip ini untuk manfaat
anda?
Mudah sahaja. Apabila anda ingin melakukan sesuatu tugas,
bentangkan tugasan tersebut di hadapan anda dan fikirkan strategi
bagaimana anda perlu menangani tugas tersebut. Apabila anda sudah
bersiap sedia dengan apa yang anda perlukan, terus mulakan tugasan
tersebut. Jangan berhenti, dan teruskan sahaja sehingga anda data
menyiapkan apa yang anda termampu. Mungkin ianya mengambil 1 jam...
atau 2 jam. Apa sahaja yang anda mampu lakukan, lakukannya.
Kemudian, berhenti! Ya... berhenti dari melakukan tugasan tersebut.
Ini kerana, anda telah mengambil 20% daripada masa anda yang
benar-benar produktif dalam menyiapkan kerja tersebut. Namun, kerja
tersebut sudah 80% siap!
Apa yang anda perlu laku kini adalah, alihkan perhatian anda kepada
kerja atau tugas yang lain. Mulakan tugas baru dan tidak perlu
hiraukan tugasan tadi. Untuk tugasan baru juga, lakukan yang sama
iaitu, beri tumpuan yang khusus 20% daripada masa yang perlu
diambil, kemudian berhenti. Lakukan perkara yang sama pada tugasan
yang lain.
Dengan melakukan prinsip pareto ini, anda dapat menyiapkan 80%
daripada kerja di tangan dalam 20% masa anda sahaja. Selepas
kesemua 80% tugas anda selesai, anda boleh kembali kepada tugasan
asal untuk menyiapkan 20% sehingga selesai. Kini, keadaan anda
sudah segar daripada tugasan asal, dan produktiviti meningkat
semula.
Dengan menggunakan strategi Pareto ini, anda pasti teruja dengan
kecekapan anda menangani masa menyiapkan beberapa kerja serentak!

kepada kita untuk melayarinya". Setiap insane mempunyai jumlah
waktu yang sama dalam sehari, iaitu 24 jam. Apa yang menentukan
kejayaan seseorang itu adalah kecekapannya dalam mengurus 24jam
sehari nya.
Tabiat membuang masa, atau sering dikenali sebagai
"proscastinantion" adalah tabiat yang merugikan kita. Sering kali,
kita menunda-nundakan sesuatu kerja, sehingga produktiviti kita
untuk mencapai kejayaan menurun.
Berikut adalah 4 cara bagaimana anda boleh membuang tabiat buang
masa ini:
MATLAMAT DIKECILKAN
Seringkali kita membuang masa oleh kerana melihat sesuatu kerja itu
terlalu besar untuk ditangani. Adakalanya matlamat yang terlalu
besar menyebabkan kita kurang berkeyakinan dan kurang bermotivasi
untuk mencapainya. Dilihat seperti kerja yang bakal dilalui amat
besar dan tidak kesampaian!
Apa yang anda harus lakukan adalah, pecahkan matlamat yang besar
itu kepada matlamat yang lebih kecil. Matlamat untuk mengumpul 10
ribu ringgit mungkin bunyinya besar, tetapi sekiranya dipecah
kepada unit yang lebih kecil, iaitu menyimpan RM500 setiap bulan,
matlamat akan tercapai juga dalam masa 20 bulan
TINGKATKAN KEKUATAN TENAGA
Sering kali kerja ditunda atau kerja tidak dapat disiapkan adalah
kerana badan kita terasa penat. Mata kita terasa mengantuk dan
tubuh kita tidak rasa selesa untuk meneruskan sebarang kerja.
Sebab ini adlaah, tidak kira sekeras mana anda kerja, tidak kira
berapa jam anda melakukan tugas anda, sekiranya badan anda tidak
mampu menahan bebanan tersebut, produktiviti anda akan berkurangan.
Ambil masa untuk berehat. Tubuh manusia boleh bertahan pada tahap
produktiviti yang tinggi dalam lingkungan 8-9 jam sahaja. Itu pun
sekiranya mempunyai tubuh yang sihat. Adakalanya, dengan hanya
melelapkan mata atau menambahkan masa tidur anda di malam hari, ia
akan menyegarkan semula tubuh anda untuk menjadi lebih produktif
pada keesokan hariinya. Sekiranya anda sering tidur 5-6 jam sahaja
oleh kerana kerja yang banyak, saya cadangkan anda tambahkan masa
tidur anda untuk menyegarkan tubuh anda.
Lakukan aktiviti senaman dari masa ke semasa, kata pakar kesihatan
tidak semestinya anda bersenam setiap hari, walaupun bersenam
setiap hari adalah terbaik. Tetapi, beri masa untuk bersenam selang
beberapa hari untuk menguatkan lagi tubuh anda dan daya ketahanan
badan anda dengan tekanan kerja.

disadvantage oleh kerana makanan kita agak berat jika dibandingkan

barat gaya sihat. Tubuh mereka lebih kuat walaupun umur meningkat.

kerja anda. Tiada lagi rasa malas dalam memulakan sesuatu kerja!

Ujian datang dan pergi...
الم ﴿١﴾ أَحَسِبَ النّاسُ أَن يُترَكوا أَن يَقولوا ءامَنّا وَهُم لا يُفتَنونَ ﴿٢﴾ وَلَقَد فَتَنَّا الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۖ فَلَيَعلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ صَدَقوا وَلَيَعلَمَنَّ الكٰذِبينَ ﴿٣﴾ أَم حَسِبَ الَّذينَ يَعمَلونَ السَّيِّـٔاتِ أَن يَسبِقونا ۚ ساءَ ما يَحكُمونَ ﴿٤﴾ مَن كانَ يَرجوا لِقاءَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ لَءاتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ ﴿٥

Kak Ngah sekolah day 1 lepas cuti lama
Hari ni 1st day Kak Ngah sekolah lepas 3 minggu MC. Jalannya tak berapa sempurna lagi. Tapi nampak dia happy, Alhamdulillah. Aku, suami dan adiknya ambil dia dari sekolah. Pagi tadipun aku hantar dan jumpa guru beritahu keadaan dia.Balik sekolah, aku tanya hal sekolah. Dia kata ok except 2 perkara. Dia kena denda kutip sampah sebab masuk dalam kategori kuku panjang. Heran juga. Baru je aku potong kuku dia dan nampak bersih. Kedua, budak2 berebut, bertolak2 di dewan makan. Nyaris kena dia. Dari pemerhatian aku, sekolah ni, makin lama, makin merosot mutu perkhidmatan dan mesra pelajarnya..... .especially lepas ketiadaan Teacher Nida. Mungkinkah setelah mereka

Kak Ngah dah pandai jalan
Hari ni, masuk hari ke 20 K Ngah jatuh sinki, lepas seminggu di wad, hamper 2 minggu di rumah, akhirnya hari ni K Ngah kegirangan dapat berjalan sendiri walaupun perlahan2 dan sekali sekala nak terjatuh...
Dari pengalaman K Ngah sakit, ni banyak juga yang saya belajar...terutamanya tentang psikologi anak2. K Ngah seorang anak yang baik i.e tak nakal, mendengar kata, bersistematik, tapi sensitif. Tak sangka dia akan ditimpa satu peristiwa yang unpredictable untuk anak sepertinya. Kemalangan seperti itu mengkin boleh dijangka bagi seorang budak yang nakal. Biala kanak2 spt K Ngah yang kena, traumanya dalam bagi anak itu sendiri. Simpati orang sekeliling juga lebih. K Ngah semasa di wad seperti sedang mengalami dunia baru dalam hidupnya...Bercampur baur- sakit, penat, takut, risau, keliru bercampur seronok (esp bila pelawat datang bagi buah tangan atau duit), bahagia (dapat perhatian lebih dari orang terdekat. Kesian dia...cuba memahami apayang dia lalui...Ada masa dia cemas bila nampak nurse datang utk beri ubat, ada masa dia seronok dah tersenyum bahagia mengira wang yang 'dikumpulnya' dari orang 2 yang datang menziarah.
Dan kebanyakan masa, abah yang menjaga Kak Ngah. Ummi sebok kesana kemari menguruskan urusan2 yang tak tau bila nak selesai. KUmmi tahu k Ngah nak Ummi selalu ada di sisi, maafkan Ummi.. Paling terasa, 2 kali kak Ngah masuk OT, tanpa Ummi yang mengiringi.. Dan dua-dua kali buka mata lepas sedar dari GA (general/full anaestetic), Ummi tiada juga di sisi....

"Mesti tak tak sedap"
Dah lama tak masak, terasa hilang habis skil2 yg sikit2 sblm ni…baru ni, bola banyak kali dengar Syakirin nak makan tomyam, aku usahakan juga untuk membuatnya. Pagi2 gi pasar s6 cari bahan, maka terhasillah tomyam yang kurang umph itu…Bila Syakirin balik sekolah, aku excited memberitahunnya “Syakirin, Hari ni Ummi masakkan tomyam untuk abang!!”. Jawabnya spontan “Mesti tak……( aku berkerut, membuatkan dia tersedar),,,tak sedap….Abang kata tak tak sedap, maknanya sedap!!!” amboi, pandai nya dia nak “cover”….Lemah semangatku mendengarnya….hilang lagi mood memasak buat ke sekian kalinya….

Kak Ngah seminggu di ward
Kesian Kak Ngah. Dah 2 mgu domestic accident tu berlaku, lepas seminggu di wad dan seminggu di rumah, K Ngah masih belum boleh jalan. Bekas jahitan perut rata2 masih merah, di Kaki nampak ok, tapi semalam, tergaru, berdarah semula... Dan tiba2 hari ni K Ngah demam. Aku naik panik juga teringat pesan Dr, kalau demam, cepat bawa semula ke hospital. Lepas sedar K Ngah demam, tak de mood nak g ikut suami gi kenduri akikah anak AJK dia. Tapi kena g jglah...lepas tu menyinggah pula rumah adik ipar sampai lepas isya'. Kesian K Ngah di rumah. Balik rumah, ambil K Ngah bawa ke masjid Shah Alam dengar forum. Sempat beli spirulina, susu kambing..(harap K Ngah boleh makan). Blm habis prog, suami ajak balik, dudah ramai sgt org jmpa dia sbb byk hal..Aku plan sdr utk bawa K Ngah ke hospital, rupanya suami x setuju "Abang suka dia baik sendiri". Mendongkol juga aku dibuatnya... Aku bari K Ngah makan apa yg patut, bagi mandi, then K Ngah tidur. Tengah tidur, pegang kepala dia, panas!... Suami sebok nak g Sgai Besar.. esok pg2 subuh dah kena ada sana... Rasa agak tertekan dan sedih... welfare anak yang sakit terpaksa tersacrifice dek kesibukan...Cepatlah sembuh Kak Ngah...please...Ummi ni dah lah banyak constraint... di ofis tu, tak tau apa org kata kat ummi...

Tak habis taaruf rupanya..
Hari ni menjadi lebih mengharukan dan lebih menginsafkan bagiku. Tak kusanga kawan yang aku sangat rapat, sejak beberapa tahun ni, rupanya belum cukup aku taarufi dia. Langsung tak kusangka sejarah hidupnya begitu begitu berat sekali. Sebelum ini, dalam diam aku mengkagumi senmangatnya, tertanya-tanya macamana diaboleh jadi begitu kuat semangat, x kenal erti penat/putus asa , tidak beralasan , dsbnya. Rupanya, sayangnya Tuhan pada dia, memberinya ujian segetir itu. Tak mampu aku bayangkan bagaimana dia ketika itu..Aku sungguh simpati.

What is not Taught in School
What is Taught: The first mention of man in flight was by Roger Bacon, who drew a flying apparatus. Leonardo da Vinci also conceived of airborne transport and drew several prototypes.
What Should be Taught: Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain invented, constructed and tested a flying machine in the 800's A.D. Roger Bacon learned of flying machines from Arabic references to Ibn Firnas' machine. The latter's invention antedates Bacon by 500 years and Da Vinci by some 700 years.
What is Taught: Glass mirrors were first produced in 1291 in Venice.
What Should be Taught: Glass mirrors were in use in Islamic Spain as early as the 11th century. The Venetians learned of the art of fine glass production from Syrian artisans during the 9th and 10th centuries.
What is Taught: Until the 14th century, the only type of clock available was the water clock. In 1335, a large mechanical clock was erected in Milan, Italy. This was possibly the first weight-driven clock.
What Should be Taught: A variety of mechanical clocks were produced by Spanish Muslim engineers, both large and small, and this knowledge was transmitted to Europe through Latin translations of Islamic books on mechanics. These clocks were weight-driven. Designs and illustrations of epi-cyclic and segmental gears were provided. One such clock included a mercury escapement. The latter type was directly copied by Europeans during the 15th century. In addition, during the 9th century, Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain, according to Will Durant, invented a watch-like device which kept accurate time. The Muslims also constructed a variety of highly accurate astronomical clocks for use in their observatories.
What is Taught: In the 17th century, the pendulum was developed by Galileo during his teenage years. He noticed a chandelier swaying as it was being blown by the wind. As a result, he went home and invented the pendulum.
What Should be Taught: The pendulum was discovered by Ibn Yunus al-Masri during the 10th century, who was the first to study and document its oscillatory motion. Its value for use in clocks was introduced by Muslim physicists during the 15th century.
What is Taught: Movable type and the printing press was invented in the West by Johannes Gutenberg of Germany during the 15th century.
What Should be Taught: In 1454, Gutenberg developed the most sophisticated printing press of the Middle Ages. However, movable brass type was in use in Islamic Spain 100 years prior, and that is where the West's first printing devices were made.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton's 17th century study of lenses, light and prisms forms the foundation of the modern science of optics .
What Should be Taught: In the 1lth century al-Haytham determined virtually everything that Newton advanced regarding optics centuries prior and is regarded by numerous authorities as the "founder of optics. "
There is little doubt that Newton was influenced by him. Al-Haytham was the most quoted physicist of the Middle Ages. His works were utilized and quoted by a greater number of European scholars during the 16th and 17th centuries than those of Newton and Galileo combined.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton, during the 17th century, discovered that white light consists of various rays of colored light.
What Should be Taught: This discovery was made in its entirety by al-Haytham (11th century) and Kamal ad-Din (14th century). Newton did make original discoveries, but this was not one of them.
What is Taught: The concept of the finite nature of matter was first introduced by Antione Lavoisier during the 18th century. He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same. Thus, for instance, if water is heated to steam, if salt is dissolved in water or if a piece of wood is burned to ashes, the total mass remains unchanged.
What Should be Taught: The principles of this discovery were elaborated centuries before by Islamic Persia's great scholar, al-Biruni (d. 1050). Lavoisier was a disciple of the Muslim chemists and physicists and referred to their books frequently.
What is Taught: The Greeks were the developers of trigonometry .
What Should be Taught: Trigonometry remained largely a theoretical science among the Greeks. It was developed to a level of modern perfection by Muslim scholars, although the weight of the credit must be given to al-Battani. The words describing the basic functions of this science, sine, cosine and tangent, are all derived from Arabic terms. Thus, original contributions by the Greeks in trigonometry were minimal.
What is Taught: The use of decimal fractions in mathematics was first developed by a Dutchman, Simon Stevin, in 1589. He helped advance the mathematical sciences by replacing the cumbersome fractions, for instance, 1/2, with decimal fractions, for example, 0.5.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians were the first to utilize decimals instead of fractions on a large scale. Al-Kashi's book, Key to Arithmetic, was written at the beginning of the 15th century and was the stimulus for the systematic application of decimals to whole numbers and fractions thereof. It is highly probably that Stevin imported the idea to Europe from al-Kashi's work.
What is Taught: The first man to utilize algebraic symbols was the French mathematician, Francois Vieta. In 1591, he wrote an algebra book describing equations with letters such as the now familiar x and y's. Asimov says that this discovery had an impact similar to the progression from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians, the inventors of algebra, introduced the concept of using letters for unknown variables in equations as early as the 9th century A.D. Through this system, they solved a variety of complex equations, including quadratic and cubic equations. They used symbols to develop and perfect the binomial theorem.
What is Taught: The difficult cubic equations (x to the third power) remained unsolved until the 16th century when Niccolo Tartaglia, an Italian mathematician, solved them.
What Should be Taught: Cubic equations as well as numerous equations of even higher degrees were solved with ease by Muslim mathematicians as early as the 10th century.
What is Taught: The concept that numbers could be less than zero, that is negative numbers, was unknown until 1545 when Geronimo Cardano introduced the idea.
What Should he Taught: Muslim mathematicians introduced negative numbers for use in a variety of arithmetic functions at least 400 years prior to Cardano.
What is Taught: In 1614, John Napier invented logarithms and logarithmic tables.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians invented logarithms and produced logarithmic tables several centuries prior. Such tables were common in the Islamic world as early as the 13th century.
What is Taught: During the 17th century Rene Descartes made the discovery that algebra could be used to solve geometrical problems. By this, he greatly advanced the science of geometry.
What Should be Taught: Mathematicians of the Islamic Empire accomplished precisely this as early as the 9th century A.D. Thabit bin Qurrah was the first to do so, and he was followed by Abu'l Wafa, whose 10th century book utilized algebra to advance geometry into an exact and simplified science.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton, during the 17th century, developed the binomial theorem, which is a crucial component for the study of algebra.
What Should be Taught: Hundreds of Muslim mathematicians utilized and perfected the binomial theorem. They initiated its use for the systematic solution of algebraic problems during the 10th century (or prior).
What is Taught: No improvement had been made in the astronomy of the ancients during the Middle Ages regarding the motion of planets until the 13th century. Then Alphonso the Wise of Castile (Middle Spain) invented the Aphonsine Tables, which were more accurate than Ptolemy's.
What Should be Taught: Muslim astronomers made numerous improvements upon Ptolemy's findings as early as the 9th century. They were the first astronomers to dispute his archaic ideas. In their critic of the Greeks, they synthesized proof that the sun is the center of the solar system and that the orbits of the earth and other planets might be elliptical. They produced hundreds of highly accurate astronomical tables and star charts. Many of their calculations are so precise that they are regarded as contemporary. The AlphonsineTables are little more than copies of works on astronomy transmitted to Europe via Islamic Spain, i.e. the Toledo Tables.
What is Taught: The English scholar Roger Bacon (d. 1292) first mentioned glass lenses for improving vision. At nearly the same time, eyeglasses could be found in use both in China and Europe.
What Should be Taught: Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain invented eyeglasses during the 9th century, and they were manufactured and sold throughout Spain for over two centuries. Any mention of eyeglasses by Roger Bacon was simply a regurgitation of the work of al-Haytham (d. 1039), whose research Bacon frequently referred to.
What is Taught: Gunpowder was developed in the Western world as a result of Roger Bacon's work in 1242. The first usage of gunpowder in weapons was when the Chinese fired it from bamboo shoots in attempt to frighten Mongol conquerors. They produced it by adding sulfur and charcoal to saltpeter.
What Should be Taught: The Chinese developed saltpeter for use in fireworks and knew of no tactical military use for gunpowder, nor did they invent its formula. Research by Reinuad and Fave have clearly shown that gunpowder was formulated initially by Muslim chemists. Further, these historians claim that the Muslims developed the first fire-arms. Notably, Muslim armies used grenades and other weapons in their defence of Algericus against the Franks during the 14th century. Jean Mathes indicates that the Muslim rulers had stock-piles of grenades, rifles, crude cannons, incendiary devices, sulfur bombs and pistols decades before such devices were used in Europe. The first mention of a cannon was in an Arabic text around 1300 A.D. Roger Bacon learned of the formula for gunpowder from Latin translations of Arabic books. He brought forth nothing original in this regard.
What is Taught: The compass was invented by the Chinese who may have been the first to use it for navigational purposes sometime between 1000 and 1100 A.D. The earliest reference to its use in navigation was by the Englishman, Alexander Neckam (1157-1217).
What Should be Taught: Muslim geographers and navigators learned of the magnetic needle, possibly from the Chinese, and were the first to use magnetic needles in navigation. They invented the compass and passed the knowledge of its use in navigation to the West. European navigators relied on Muslim pilots and their instruments when exploring unknown territories. Gustav Le Bon claims that the magnetic needle and compass were entirely invented by the Muslims and that the Chinese had little to do with it. Neckam, as well as the Chinese, probably learned of it from Muslim traders. It is noteworthy that the Chinese improved their navigational expertise after they began interacting with the Muslims during the 8th century.
What is Taught: The first man to classify the races was the German Johann F. Blumenbach, who divided mankind into white, yellow, brown, black and red peoples.
What Should be Taught: Muslim scholars of the 9th through 14th centuries invented the science of ethnography. A number of Muslim geographers classified the races, writing detailed explanations of their unique cultural habits and physical appearances. They wrote thousands of pages on this subject. Blumenbach's works were insignificant in comparison.
What is Taught: The science of geography was revived during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries when the ancient works of Ptolemy were discovered. The Crusades and the Portuguese/Spanish expeditions also contributed to this reawakening. The first scientifically-based treatise on geography were produced during this period by Europe's scholars.
What Should be Taught: Muslim geographers produced untold volumes of books on the geography of Africa, Asia, India, China and the Indies during the 8th through 15th centuries. These writings included the world's first geographical encyclopedias, almanacs and road maps. Ibn Battutah's 14 th century masterpieces provide a detailed view of the geography of the ancient world. The Muslim geographers of the 10th through 15th centuries far exceeded the output by Europeans regarding the geography of these regions well into the 18th century. The Crusades led to the destruction of educational institutions, their scholars and books. They brought nothing substantive regarding geography to the Western world.
What is Taught: Robert Boyle, in the 17th century, originated the science of chemistry.
What Should be Taught: A variety of Muslim chemists, including ar-Razi, al-Jabr, al-Biruni and al-Kindi, performed scientific experiments in chemistry some 700 years prior to Boyle. Durant writes that the Muslims introduced the experimental method to this science. Humboldt regards the Muslims as the founders of chemistry.
What is Taught: Leonardo da Vinci (16th century) fathered the science of geology when he noted that fossils found on mountains indicated a watery origin of the earth.
What Should be Taught: Al-Biruni (1lth century) made precisely this observation and added much to it, including a huge book on geology, hundreds of years before Da Vinci was born. Ibn Sina noted this as well (see pages 100-101). it is probable that Da Vinci first learned of this concept from Latin translations of Islamic books. He added nothing original to their findings.
What is Taught: The first mention of the geological formation of valleys was in 1756, when Nicolas Desmarest proposed that they were formed over a long periods of time by streams.
What Should be Taught: Ibn Sina and al-Biruni made precisely this discovery during the 11th century (see pages 102 and 103), fully 700 years prior to Desmarest.
What is Taught: Galileo (17th century) was the world's first great experimenter.
What Should be Taught: Al-Biruni (d. 1050) was the world's first great experimenter. He wrote over 200 books, many of which discuss his precise experiments. His literary output in the sciences amounts to some 13,000 pages, far exceeding that written by Galileo or, for that matter, Galileo and Newton combined.
What is Taught: The Italian Giovanni Morgagni is regarded as the father of pathology because he was the first to correctly describe the nature of disease.
What Should be Taught: Islam's surgeons were the first pathologists. They fully realized the nature of disease and described a variety of diseases to modern detail. Ibn Zuhr correctly described the nature of pleurisy, tuberculosis and pericarditis. Az-Zahrawi accurately documented the pathology of hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and other congenital diseases. Ibn al-Quff and Ibn an-Nafs gave perfect descriptions of the diseases of circulation. Other Muslim surgeons gave the first accurate descriptions of certain malignancies, including cancer of the stomach, bowel and esophagus. These surgeons were the originators of pathology, not Giovanni Morgagni.
What is Taught: Paul Ehrlich (19th century) is the originator of drug chemotherapy, that is the use of specific drugs to kill microbes.
What Should be Taught: Muslim physicians used a variety of specific substances to destroy microbes. They applied sulfur topically specifically to kill the scabies mite. Ar-Razi (10th century) used mercurial compounds as topical antiseptics.
What is Taught: Purified alcohol, made through distillation, was first produced by Arnau de Villanova, a Spanish alchemist, in 1300 A.D.
What Should be Taught: Numerous Muslim chemists produced medicinal-grade alcohol through distillation as early as the 10th century and manufactured on a large scale the first distillation devices for use in chemistry. They used alcohol as a solvent and antiseptic.
What is Taught: The first surgery performed under inhalation anesthesia was conducted by C.W. Long, an American, in 1845.
What Should be Taught: Six hundred years prior to Long, Islamic Spain's Az-Zahrawi and Ibn Zuhr, among other Muslim surgeons, performed hundreds of surgeries under inhalation anesthesia with the use of narcotic-soaked sponges which were placed over the face.
What is Taught: During the 16th century Paracelsus invented the use of opium extracts for anesthesia.
What Should be Taught: Muslim physicians introduced the anesthetic value of opium derivatives during the Middle Ages. Opium was originally used as an anesthetic agent by the Greeks. Paracelus was a student of Ibn Sina's works from which it is almost assured that he derived this idea.
What is Taught: Modern anesthesia was invented in the 19th century by Humphrey Davy and Horace Wells.
What Should be Taught: Modern anesthesia was discovered, mastered and perfected by Muslim anesthetists 900 years before the advent of Davy and Wells. They utilized oral as well as inhalant anesthetics.
What is Taught: The concept of quarantine was first developed in 1403. In Venice, a law was passed preventing strangers from entering the city until a certain waiting period had passed. If, by then, no sign of illness could be found, they were allowed in.
What Should be Taught: The concept of quarantine was first introduced in the 7th century A.D. by the prophet Muhammad, who wisely warned against entering or leaving a region suffering from plague. As early as the 10th century, Muslim physicians innovated the use of isolation wards for individuals suffering with communicable diseases.
What is Taught: The scientific use of antiseptics in surgery was discovered by the British surgeon Joseph Lister in 1865.
What Should be Taught: As early as the 10th century, Muslim physicians and surgeons were applying purified alcohol to wounds as an antiseptic agent. Surgeons in Islamic Spain utilized special methods for maintaining antisepsis prior to and during surgery. They also originated specific protocols for maintaining hygiene during the post-operative period. Their success rate was so high that dignitaries throughout Europe came to Cordova, Spain, to be treated at what was comparably the "Mayo Clinic" of the Middle Ages.
What is Taught: In 1545, the scientific use of surgery was advanced by the French surgeon Ambroise Pare. Prior to him, surgeons attempted to stop bleeding through the gruesome procedure of searing the wound with boiling oil. Pare stopped the use of boiling oils and began ligating arteries. He is considered the "father of rational surgery." Pare was also one of the first Europeans to condemn such grotesque "surgical" procedures as trepanning (see reference #6, pg. 110).
What Should be Taught: Islamic Spain's illustrious surgeon, az-Zahrawi (d. 1013), began ligating arteries with fine sutures over 500 years prior to Pare. He perfected the use of Catgut, that is suture made from animal intestines. Additionally, he instituted the use of cotton plus wax to plug bleeding wounds. The full details of his works were made available to Europeans through Latin translations.
Despite this, barbers and herdsmen continued be the primary individuals practicing the "art" of surgery for nearly six centuries after az-Zahrawi's death. Pare himself was a barber, albeit more skilled and conscientious than the average ones.
Included in az-Zahrawi's legacy are dozens of books. His most famous work is a 30 volume treatise on medicine and surgery. His books contain sections on preventive medicine, nutrition, cosmetics, drug therapy, surgical technique, anesthesia, pre and post-operative care as well as drawings of some 200 surgical devices, many of which he invented. The refined and scholarly az-Zahrawi must be regarded as the father and founder of rational surgery, not the uneducated Pare.
What is Taught: William Harvey, during the early 17th century, discovered that blood circulates. He was the first to correctly describe the function of the heart, arteries and veins. Rome's Galen had presented erroneous ideas regarding the circulatory system, and Harvey was the first to determine that blood is pumped throughout the body via the action of the heart and the venous valves. Therefore, he is regarded as the founder of human physiology.
What Should be Taught: In the 10th century, Islam's ar-Razi wrote an in-depth treatise on the venous system, accurately describing the function of the veins and their valves. Ibn an-Nafs and Ibn al-Quff (13th century) provided full documentation that the blood circulates and correctly described the physiology of the heart and the function of its valves 300 years before Harvey. William Harvey was a graduate of Italy's famous Padua University at a time when the majority of its curriculum was based upon Ibn Sina's and ar-Razi's textbooks.
What is Taught: The first pharmacopeia (book of medicines) was published by a German scholar in 1542. According to World Book Encyclopedia, the science of pharmacology was begun in the 1900's as an off-shoot of chemistry due to the analysis of crude plant materials. Chemists, after isolating the active ingredients from plants, realized their medicinal value.
What Should be Taught: According to the eminent scholar of Arab history, Phillip Hitti, the Muslims, not the Greeks or Europeans, wrote the first "modern" pharmacopeia. The science of pharmacology was originated by Muslim physicians during the 9th century. They developed it into a highly refined and exact science. Muslim chemists, pharmacists and physicians produced thousands of drugs and/or crude herbal extracts one thousand years prior to the supposed birth of pharmacology. During the 14th century Ibn Baytar wrote a monumental pharmacopeia listing some 1400 different drugs. Hundreds of other pharmacopeias were published during the Islamic Era. It is likely that the German work is an offshoot of that by Ibn Baytar, which was widely circulated in Europe.
What is Taught: The discovery of the scientific use of drugs in the treatment of specific diseases was made by Paracelsus, the Swiss-born physician, during the 16th century. He is also credited with being the first to use practical experience as a determining factor in the treatment of patients rather than relying exclusively on the works of the ancients.
What Should be Taught: Ar-Razi, Ibn Sina, al-Kindi, Ibn Rushd, az -Zahrawi, Ibn Zuhr, Ibn Baytar, Ibn al-Jazzar, Ibn Juljul, Ibn al-Quff, Ibn an-Nafs, al-Biruni, Ibn Sahl and hundreds of other Muslim physicians mastered the science of drug therapy for the treatment of specific symptoms and diseases. In fact, this concept was entirely their invention. The word "drug" is derived from Arabic. Their use of practical experience and careful observation was extensive.
Muslim physicians were the first to criticize ancient medical theories and practices. Ar-Razi devoted an entire book as a critique of Galen's anatomy. The works of Paracelsus are insignificant compared to the vast volumes of medical writings and original findings accomplished by the medical giants of Islam.
What is Taught: The first sound approach to the treatment of disease was made by a German, Johann Weger, in the 1500's.
What Should be Taught: Harvard's George Sarton says that modern medicine is entirely an Islamic development and that Setting the Record Straight the Muslim physicians of the 9th through 12th centuries were precise, scientific, rational and sound in their approach. Johann Weger was among thousands of Europeans physicians during the 15th through 17th centuries who were taught the medicine of ar-Razi and Ibn Sina. He contributed nothing original.
What is Taught: Medical treatment for the insane was modernized by Philippe Pinel when in 1793 he operated France's first insane asylum .
What Should be Taught: As early as the 1lth century, Islamic hospitals maintained special wards for the insane. They treated them kindly and presumed their disease was real at a time when the insane were routinely burned alive in Europe as witches and sorcerers. A curative approach was taken for mental illness and, for the first time in history, the mentally ill were treated with supportive care, drugs and psychotherapy. Every major Islamic city maintained an insane asylum where patients were treated at no charge. In fact, the Islamic system for the treatment of the insane excels in comparison to the current model, as it was more humane and was highly effective as well.
What is Taught: Kerosine was first produced by the an Englishman, Abraham Gesner, in 1853. He distilled it from asphalt.
What Should be Taught: Muslim chemists produced kerosine as a distillate from petroleum products over 1,000 years prior to Gesner (see Encyclopaedia Britannica under the heading, Petroleum).

What Should be Taught: Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain invented, constructed and tested a flying machine in the 800's A.D. Roger Bacon learned of flying machines from Arabic references to Ibn Firnas' machine. The latter's invention antedates Bacon by 500 years and Da Vinci by some 700 years.
What is Taught: Glass mirrors were first produced in 1291 in Venice.
What Should be Taught: Glass mirrors were in use in Islamic Spain as early as the 11th century. The Venetians learned of the art of fine glass production from Syrian artisans during the 9th and 10th centuries.
What is Taught: Until the 14th century, the only type of clock available was the water clock. In 1335, a large mechanical clock was erected in Milan, Italy. This was possibly the first weight-driven clock.
What Should be Taught: A variety of mechanical clocks were produced by Spanish Muslim engineers, both large and small, and this knowledge was transmitted to Europe through Latin translations of Islamic books on mechanics. These clocks were weight-driven. Designs and illustrations of epi-cyclic and segmental gears were provided. One such clock included a mercury escapement. The latter type was directly copied by Europeans during the 15th century. In addition, during the 9th century, Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain, according to Will Durant, invented a watch-like device which kept accurate time. The Muslims also constructed a variety of highly accurate astronomical clocks for use in their observatories.
What is Taught: In the 17th century, the pendulum was developed by Galileo during his teenage years. He noticed a chandelier swaying as it was being blown by the wind. As a result, he went home and invented the pendulum.
What Should be Taught: The pendulum was discovered by Ibn Yunus al-Masri during the 10th century, who was the first to study and document its oscillatory motion. Its value for use in clocks was introduced by Muslim physicists during the 15th century.
What is Taught: Movable type and the printing press was invented in the West by Johannes Gutenberg of Germany during the 15th century.
What Should be Taught: In 1454, Gutenberg developed the most sophisticated printing press of the Middle Ages. However, movable brass type was in use in Islamic Spain 100 years prior, and that is where the West's first printing devices were made.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton's 17th century study of lenses, light and prisms forms the foundation of the modern science of optics .
What Should be Taught: In the 1lth century al-Haytham determined virtually everything that Newton advanced regarding optics centuries prior and is regarded by numerous authorities as the "founder of optics. "
There is little doubt that Newton was influenced by him. Al-Haytham was the most quoted physicist of the Middle Ages. His works were utilized and quoted by a greater number of European scholars during the 16th and 17th centuries than those of Newton and Galileo combined.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton, during the 17th century, discovered that white light consists of various rays of colored light.
What Should be Taught: This discovery was made in its entirety by al-Haytham (11th century) and Kamal ad-Din (14th century). Newton did make original discoveries, but this was not one of them.
What is Taught: The concept of the finite nature of matter was first introduced by Antione Lavoisier during the 18th century. He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same. Thus, for instance, if water is heated to steam, if salt is dissolved in water or if a piece of wood is burned to ashes, the total mass remains unchanged.
What Should be Taught: The principles of this discovery were elaborated centuries before by Islamic Persia's great scholar, al-Biruni (d. 1050). Lavoisier was a disciple of the Muslim chemists and physicists and referred to their books frequently.
What is Taught: The Greeks were the developers of trigonometry .
What Should be Taught: Trigonometry remained largely a theoretical science among the Greeks. It was developed to a level of modern perfection by Muslim scholars, although the weight of the credit must be given to al-Battani. The words describing the basic functions of this science, sine, cosine and tangent, are all derived from Arabic terms. Thus, original contributions by the Greeks in trigonometry were minimal.
What is Taught: The use of decimal fractions in mathematics was first developed by a Dutchman, Simon Stevin, in 1589. He helped advance the mathematical sciences by replacing the cumbersome fractions, for instance, 1/2, with decimal fractions, for example, 0.5.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians were the first to utilize decimals instead of fractions on a large scale. Al-Kashi's book, Key to Arithmetic, was written at the beginning of the 15th century and was the stimulus for the systematic application of decimals to whole numbers and fractions thereof. It is highly probably that Stevin imported the idea to Europe from al-Kashi's work.
What is Taught: The first man to utilize algebraic symbols was the French mathematician, Francois Vieta. In 1591, he wrote an algebra book describing equations with letters such as the now familiar x and y's. Asimov says that this discovery had an impact similar to the progression from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians, the inventors of algebra, introduced the concept of using letters for unknown variables in equations as early as the 9th century A.D. Through this system, they solved a variety of complex equations, including quadratic and cubic equations. They used symbols to develop and perfect the binomial theorem.
What is Taught: The difficult cubic equations (x to the third power) remained unsolved until the 16th century when Niccolo Tartaglia, an Italian mathematician, solved them.
What Should be Taught: Cubic equations as well as numerous equations of even higher degrees were solved with ease by Muslim mathematicians as early as the 10th century.
What is Taught: The concept that numbers could be less than zero, that is negative numbers, was unknown until 1545 when Geronimo Cardano introduced the idea.
What Should he Taught: Muslim mathematicians introduced negative numbers for use in a variety of arithmetic functions at least 400 years prior to Cardano.
What is Taught: In 1614, John Napier invented logarithms and logarithmic tables.
What Should be Taught: Muslim mathematicians invented logarithms and produced logarithmic tables several centuries prior. Such tables were common in the Islamic world as early as the 13th century.
What is Taught: During the 17th century Rene Descartes made the discovery that algebra could be used to solve geometrical problems. By this, he greatly advanced the science of geometry.
What Should be Taught: Mathematicians of the Islamic Empire accomplished precisely this as early as the 9th century A.D. Thabit bin Qurrah was the first to do so, and he was followed by Abu'l Wafa, whose 10th century book utilized algebra to advance geometry into an exact and simplified science.
What is Taught: Isaac Newton, during the 17th century, developed the binomial theorem, which is a crucial component for the study of algebra.
What Should be Taught: Hundreds of Muslim mathematicians utilized and perfected the binomial theorem. They initiated its use for the systematic solution of algebraic problems during the 10th century (or prior).
What is Taught: No improvement had been made in the astronomy of the ancients during the Middle Ages regarding the motion of planets until the 13th century. Then Alphonso the Wise of Castile (Middle Spain) invented the Aphonsine Tables, which were more accurate than Ptolemy's.
What Should be Taught: Muslim astronomers made numerous improvements upon Ptolemy's findings as early as the 9th century. They were the first astronomers to dispute his archaic ideas. In their critic of the Greeks, they synthesized proof that the sun is the center of the solar system and that the orbits of the earth and other planets might be elliptical. They produced hundreds of highly accurate astronomical tables and star charts. Many of their calculations are so precise that they are regarded as contemporary. The AlphonsineTables are little more than copies of works on astronomy transmitted to Europe via Islamic Spain, i.e. the Toledo Tables.
What is Taught: The English scholar Roger Bacon (d. 1292) first mentioned glass lenses for improving vision. At nearly the same time, eyeglasses could be found in use both in China and Europe.
What Should be Taught: Ibn Firnas of Islamic Spain invented eyeglasses during the 9th century, and they were manufactured and sold throughout Spain for over two centuries. Any mention of eyeglasses by Roger Bacon was simply a regurgitation of the work of al-Haytham (d. 1039), whose research Bacon frequently referred to.
What is Taught: Gunpowder was developed in the Western world as a result of Roger Bacon's work in 1242. The first usage of gunpowder in weapons was when the Chinese fired it from bamboo shoots in attempt to frighten Mongol conquerors. They produced it by adding sulfur and charcoal to saltpeter.
What Should be Taught: The Chinese developed saltpeter for use in fireworks and knew of no tactical military use for gunpowder, nor did they invent its formula. Research by Reinuad and Fave have clearly shown that gunpowder was formulated initially by Muslim chemists. Further, these historians claim that the Muslims developed the first fire-arms. Notably, Muslim armies used grenades and other weapons in their defence of Algericus against the Franks during the 14th century. Jean Mathes indicates that the Muslim rulers had stock-piles of grenades, rifles, crude cannons, incendiary devices, sulfur bombs and pistols decades before such devices were used in Europe. The first mention of a cannon was in an Arabic text around 1300 A.D. Roger Bacon learned of the formula for gunpowder from Latin translations of Arabic books. He brought forth nothing original in this regard.

The Crusades and the Portuguese/Spanish expeditions also contributed to this reawakening. The first scientifically-based treatise on geography were produced during this period by Europe's scholars.
What Should be Taught: Muslim geographers produced untold volumes of books on the geography of Africa, Asia, India, China and the Indies during the 8th through 15th centuries. These writings included the world's first geographical encyclopedias, almanacs and road maps. Ibn Battutah's 14 th century masterpieces provide a detailed view of the geography of the ancient world. The Muslim geographers of the 10th through 15th centuries far exceeded the output by Europeans regarding the geography of these regions well into the 18th century.

William Harvey was a graduate of Italy's famous Padua University at a time when the majority of its curriculum was based upon Ibn Sina's and ar-Razi's textbooks.
What is Taught: The first pharmacopeia (book of medicines) was published by a German scholar in 1542. According to World Book Encyclopedia, the science of pharmacology was begun in the 1900's as an off-shoot of chemistry due to the analysis of crude plant materials. Chemists, after isolating the active ingredients from plants, realized their medicinal value.
What Should be Taught: According to the eminent scholar of Arab history, Phillip Hitti, the Muslims, not the Greeks or Europeans, wrote the first "modern" pharmacopeia. The science of pharmacology was originated by Muslim physicians during the 9th century. They developed it into a highly refined and exact science. Muslim chemists, pharmacists and physicians produced thousands of drugs and/or crude herbal extracts one thousand years prior to the supposed birth of pharmacology. During the 14th century Ibn Baytar wrote a monumental pharmacopeia listing some 1400 different drugs. Hundreds of other pharmacopeias were published during the Islamic Era. It is likely that the German work is an offshoot of that by Ibn Baytar, which was widely circulated in Europe.
What is Taught: The discovery of the scientific use of drugs in the treatment of specific diseases was made by Paracelsus, the Swiss-born physician, during the 16th century. He is also credited with being the first to use practical experience as a determining factor in the treatment of patients rather than relying exclusively on the works of the ancients.
What Should be Taught: Ar-Razi, Ibn Sina, al-Kindi, Ibn Rushd, az -Zahrawi, Ibn Zuhr, Ibn Baytar, Ibn al-Jazzar, Ibn Juljul, Ibn al-Quff, Ibn an-Nafs, al-Biruni, Ibn Sahl and hundreds of other Muslim physicians mastered the science of drug therapy for the treatment of specific symptoms and diseases. In fact, this concept was entirely their invention. The word "drug" is derived from Arabic. Their use of practical experience and careful observation was extensive.
Muslim physicians were the first to criticize ancient medical theories and practices. Ar-Razi devoted an entire book as a critique of Galen's anatomy. The works of Paracelsus are insignificant compared to the vast volumes of medical writings and original findings accomplished by the medical giants of Islam.
What is Taught: The first sound approach to the treatment of disease was made by a German, Johann Weger, in the 1500's.
What Should be Taught: Harvard's George Sarton says that modern medicine is entirely an Islamic development and that Setting the Record Straight the Muslim physicians of the 9th through 12th centuries were precise, scientific, rational and sound in their approach. Johann Weger was among thousands of Europeans physicians during the 15th through 17th centuries who were taught the medicine of ar-Razi and Ibn Sina. He contributed nothing original.
What is Taught: Medical treatment for the insane was modernized by Philippe Pinel when in 1793 he operated France's first insane asylum .
What Should be Taught: As early as the 1lth century, Islamic hospitals maintained special wards for the insane. They treated them kindly and presumed their disease was real at a time when the insane were routinely burned alive in Europe as witches and sorcerers. A curative approach was taken for mental illness and, for the first time in history, the mentally ill were treated with supportive care, drugs and psychotherapy. Every major Islamic city maintained an insane asylum where patients were treated at no charge. In fact, the Islamic system for the treatment of the insane excels in comparison to the current model, as it was more humane and was highly effective as well.
What is Taught: Kerosine was first produced by the an Englishman, Abraham Gesner, in 1853. He distilled it from asphalt.
What Should be Taught: Muslim chemists produced kerosine as a distillate from petroleum products over 1,000 years prior to Gesner (see Encyclopaedia Britannica under the heading, Petroleum).

Menangis lagi…
Pagi ni saya menangis lagi dalam kereta, sebaik selepas anak-anak sampai ke sekolah menjadikan saya memandu sendirian ke tempat kerja…Kalau pemandu lain perasan, mesti mereka menjangkakan saya ada masalah dengan rumahtangga ke, apa-apa lagi ke. Hakikatnya, pagi semalam sy menangis kerana rasa ada yang tak kena pada diri- bercampur baur…kerja banyak, tapi asyik membuang masa- contoh,lalai tengok tv dikala anak meminta saya menemani mereka bermain. Hakikatnya saya sendiri hairan camana saya boleh tersangkut depan tv hanya kerana cerita2 dongeng tentunya..(cinetron Aqso & Madina, ha ha)
Pagi ini saya menangis lagi dalam pemanduan ke tempat kerja, tetapi kerana syukur Allah menegur saya dengan cara yang sangat indah..Seperti biasa, Ustaz Zamri dan Zarita dalam slot Z&Z di radio Ikim membawakan pelbagai isu menarik untuk dibincangkan...Pagi ni, topik yang dibawakan ialah kempen seminggu tidak menonton TV oleh Fomca. Reaksi di dada akhbar kebanyakannya negative – tidak sesuai, impossible, tidak bijak dsb. Tapi lain pula reaksi2 para pemanggil Ikim. Mostly positif, sokongan 100%-200%. Kebanyakannya memang dah lama amalkan tak tengok tv langsung…dan mereka berjaya membina hubungan baik dengan anak-anak, melangsaikan kerja dsb. Kesimpulannya kebanyakan orang yang berjaya ialah orang yang tidak tengok tv. (Yang buat panggilan pun bukan orang calang-calang juga-Ustaz Jamnul Azhar, doktor2, ustaz2) Ada pula suri rumah yang berkorban tak tengok tv atas sebab nak bina tabiat baik dalam diri anak-anak. Itulah antara reaksi pemanggil..Oh, saya sungguh terpukul dengan perbincangan yang di bawa…lalu saya menangis menyesali perbuatan diri (yang lalai) dan mensyukuri teguran Allah terhadap saya dengan cara yang indah dan halus itu. Sayangnya Allah pada saya.. itu yang saya fikir..kerana saya yakin benar dengan kata-kata “Apa yang datang kepadamu pasti sesuatu yang berkenaan dengan dirimu, dan apa yang hilang darimu pasti sesuatu yang tidak berkenaan denganmu,..” Jadi , pasti itulah teguran tuhan terhadap siri saya yang lalai..Bukan alang-alang atau kecil-kecil kerja-kerja yang perlu saya langsaikan segera-bukan saya tak tahu, tapi, saya berdalih…kononnya, banyak kerja2 rumah saya telah disub-contrak kepada pembantu rumah, jadi peruntukan masa itulah yang saya ambil untuk menonton..dalih yang tentunya tak boleh diterima kan?
Terasa hinanya saya, tak segolongan dengan para pemanggil yang telah berjaya mencipta gaya hidup yang ideal itu. Hakikatnya saya juga dulu pernah begitu, keadaan hanya bertukar, pada hemat saya, selepas suami menjadi terlalu sebok dengan tugas..jarang di rumah memantau kami, lemahnya saya…Namun Allah masih menyayangi. Terima kasih, Tuhan…
