Dont Celebrate Valentine Day - Jangan Rayakan Hari Kekasih
Rai kejatuhan kerajaan Islam
2010/02/12
TERINGAT penulis ketika memulakan sesi pengajaran di sebuah kelas apabila mengemukakan soalan; “ Siapa tahu bilakah Nabi Muhammad dilahirkan?”
Kelas menjadi senyap seketika dan ternampak beberapa pelajar menundukkan kepala.
“Baiklah, soalan kedua, bila perayaan menyambut Hari Kekasih diadakan?” Penulis terkejut kerana masing-masing berebut mahu menjawab. Begitulah senario masa kini menunjukkan budaya asing lebih menerap dan jadi ingatan kepada anak-anak muda. Salah satu acara tahunan yang seolah-olah sudah membudaya dalam kalangan generasi muda ialah perayaan menyambut Hari Kekasih atau Valentine Day yang diraikan pada 14 Februari setiap tahun.
Sambutan hari itu turut diraikan oleh generasi muda Islam yang tidak peduli mengenai asal-usulnya. Jadi, kita seharusnya melihat kembali sejarah wujudnya Hari Kekasih ini agar kita tidak mudah terjerumus dalam situasi yang boleh merencatkan iman.
Sejarah Hari Kekasih itu ada beberapa versi sumbernya dan di sini diceritakan semula agar kita dapat memahami secara jelas betapa terpesong kita jika turut sama meraikan hari berkenaan. Mengikut sejarah, Valentine adalah seorang paderi yang mempunyai pengaruh besar pada zaman pemerintahan Ratu Isabella di Sepanyol. Dia adalah orang kedua selepas kedudukan Paderi Besar Pope. Dikisahkan, Valentine adalah orang yang memainkan peranan besar semasa menumpaskan kerajaan Islam di Cordova, Sepanyol. Jasanya itu dianggap tidak boleh dilupakan dan sewajarnya dihargai. Justeru, tarikh 14 Februari ditetapkan sebagai cuti umum untuk meraikan kemenangan yang diterajui Valentine itu pada setiap tahun.
Dengan demikian, sekali gus digunakan sebagai hari mengingati kejayaan Valentine dalam menumpaskan orang-orang Islam di Sepanyol.
Manakala dalam cerita versi kedua pula dikisahkan bahawa paderi Valentine sebelum menumpaskan kerajaan Islam di Sepanyol dikatakan mempunyai dua orang kekasih. Kekasih pertama dikatakan beragama Islam dan yang kedua beragama Kristian Protestan. Namun, disebabkan kekasih pertama itu beragama Islam dia dikatakan hanya menumpukan pada kekasih kedua saja.
Dewasa ini banyak sangat unsur budaya Barat yang diagung-agungkan malah menjadi amalan generasi muda.
Terdapat satu lagi versi yang menyatakan pada 14 Februari 270M, paderi Valentine dibunuh kerana penentangannya terhadap penguasa Rome pada waktu itu, Raja Claudius II (268-270M). Ekoran peristiwa pembunuhan Valentine itu, dia dianggap sebagai simbol ketabahan dan keberanian. Sebagai memperingati Valentine, pada 14 Februari setiap pengikutnya yang beragama Kristian Katholik meraikannya sebagai ‘upacara keagamaan’. Jadi berdasarkan sumber sejarah asal-usul Hari Valentine itu jelas ia adalah satu tradisi dalam agama Kristian dan sememangnya sangat diraikan oleh penganut agama berkenaan. Persoalannya, mengapa pula anak-anak muda Islam di Malaysia begitu beria-ia sangat untuk bersama menjayakannya? Inilah akibatnya apabila mengikut sesuatu budaya asing secara membuta tuli tanpa mengkaji selok-belok sejarahnya. Ingatlah akan pesan Rasulullah yang bermaksud; “Sesiapa yang melakukan perbuatan yang menyerupai sesuatu kaum, maka ia turut termasuk bersama golongan itu.” Itulah peringatan Rasulullah kepada kita agar sentiasa berhati-hati dalam melakukan sesuatu perkara agar iman tidak tergelincir daripada landasan sebenar. Jadi, berdasarkan kedua-dua versi sejarah bermula perayaan Hari Kekasih maka jelaslah bahawa kita sebagai umat Islam tidak sepatutnya bersama penganut agama lain meraikannya.
Islam memberi banyak jalan untuk kita merayakan atau meraikan sesuatu. Percayalah, seandainya generasi muda Islam terus hanyut dalam anutan budaya asing yang bertentangan dengan agama, dikhuatiri jiwa dan hati mereka berjaya ‘dijajah’ oleh musuh Islam yang sentiasa memasang perangkap dalam usaha mereka memporak-perandakan pegangan akidah umat Islam. Perkara paling ditakuti oleh musuh-musuh Islam sejak awal sejarah Islam lagi ialah kemantapan akidah dan keutuhan tauhid ummah. Selagi umat Islam berpegang teguh kepada akidah yang benar selagi itulah anasir luar cuba memesongkan hala tuju ummah akan kecundang. Justeru, amatlah malang dan mengecewakan sekali apabila saban tahun bukan sedikit anak muda Islam terpengaruh dengan budaya dan gaya hidup yang jelas bertentangan dengan Islam.
Tentu sekali pihak musuh ketawa besar melihat begitu mudahnya golongan muda Islam dihanyutkan dengan amalan budaya asing.
Sebenarnya, beberapa fatwa berkenaan sambutan Hari Kekasih itu pernah dikeluarkan oleh Jawatan kuasa Fatwa Negeri Johor 2005 yang menyatakan amalan merayakan Hari Kekasih tidak pernah dianjurkan oleh Islam. Roh perayaan itu jelas mempunyai unsur-unsur agama Kristian dan amalannya bercampur dengan perbuatan maksiat adalah bercanggah dengan akidah, syariah dan akhlak Islamiah serta dilarang oleh Islam.
Oleh itu, umat Islam dilarang membabitkan diri dalam meraikan hari berkenaan.
Terdapat satu lagi fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh Muzakarah Jawatan kuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Malaysia kali ke-71 yang telah bersidang pada 22-24 November 2005 di Kuching, Sarawak telah menetapkan bahawa budaya merayakan Hari Kekasih itu tidak pernah dianjurkan Islam dan umat Islam dilarang turut sama meraikannya. Oleh itu, jelas kedua-dua fatwa berkenaan memberikan garis panduan kepada seluruh umat Islam di negara ini mengenai haramnya menyertai perayaan Hari Kekasih itu. Kedua-dua fatwa yang dikeluarkan itu bukannya bersifat mengongkong golongan muda sebaliknya satu ketetapan agar mereka terpelihara dari penyelewengan akidah. Ingatlah wahai generasi muda, syaitan dan musuh Islam sentiasa mengintai-intai ruang dan peluang pada setiap ketika agar dirimu kecundang dalam arus kehidupan yang melalaikan. Berwaspadalah! Islam adalah agama yang suci bersih, jadi janganlah dikotorkan dan dihitamkan dengan pengamalan budaya yang memesongkan. Mengapakah perlu kita mencedok budaya asing yang bersifat negatif sedangkan kita sejak turun-temurun sudah tersedia pelbagai khazanah adat budaya yang penuh beradab. Kemajuan dan kemodenan tidak bermakna segala-gala yang terdapat di negara maju harus diikut kerana sebagai umat Islam kita seharusnya menolak amalan yang bertentangan dengan agama dan bersifat jahiliah moden. Insaf dan kembalilah hidup dalam kehidupan beragama yang sebenar.

PERANG PSIKOLOGI
Perang fizikal dah tak berdaya
perang psikologi menjadi senjata
menangani kerenah pelajar semakin mencabar
akibat dunia tanpa sempadan yang semakin melebar
Perang dingin juga sudah berlalu
kerana "SOVIET UNION" sudah berkubur
cuma ingat kita bukan polis dunia
hukum bersendikan agama
Al-Quran Hadis jadi pengangan
tiga belas rahun Rasulullah di Mekah
berjuang menegak kalimah Allah
memantap tauhid di hati sahabat
Sumayyah sanggup syahid demi akidah
Bilal dihempap batu
hati tetap jitu
bertuhankan Allah yang satu
Hijrah membuka lembaran jihad
Menentang kafir Quraisy yang jahil
Perang Badar mula terpahat
dalam sejarah Islam ia mejadi dalil
Perang Uhud memberi pengajaran
perintah Nabi jangan disanggah
Perang Khandak bertahan di kota
menanti musuh bersekutu
bantuan Allah tiba,
hujan ribut membadai tentera bersekutu.
Jadilah ia sebagai pedoman
kalau takut dilambung ombak
jangan berumah di tepi pantai
Jadilah pohon yang tegak berdiri
walau dibadai ribut menggila
tetap teguh di persada dunia
jangan jadi rumput di bumi
subur melata penuh selesa
tetapi dipijak orang sepanjang masa.

PSIKOSIS PENYAKIT KRONIK - PERLU RAWATAN HOSPITAL
Oleh Nor Afzan Mohamad Yusof
Haywire Prison Break ~ Gambar Hiasan
DALAM lena, Ali (bukan nama sebenar) bermimpi sedang bersungguh-sungguh menebang dan mencincang batang pisang di belakang rumahnya. Pada fikirannya pokok tua itu, sudahlah tidak berhasil, sebaliknya menjadikan kebunnya semakin semak.
Sedang dia tekun mencincang tiba-tiba dia terdengar suara jeritan ketakutan dari belakang yang menyentap tidurnya. Ali bagaikan tersedar daripada lena yang panjang, lantas semakin bingung apabila batang pisang yang dicincang itu bertukar rupa kepada sekujur tubuh ibunya. Lebih malang ia berlaku di alam nyata, bukan dalam fantasi mimpinya.
Beberapa insiden pembunuhan membabitkan cara tragis, keterlaluan termasuk tusukan senjata bertubi-tubi, mengerat anggota tubuh kepada beberapa bahagian dan pelaku pula kelihatan bingung sering dikaitkan dengan perbuatan pesakit mental jenis psikosis.
Beberapa kejadian dilaporkan dalam akhbar sebenarnya disifatkan sebagai lampu isyarat pesakit mental perlu dianggap penyakit kronik dan segera mendapat rawatan daripada pakar dalam bidang psikiatri.
Terdapat kira-kira 280 jenis penyakit mental dan antaranya ialah skizofrenia. Psikosis adalah satu cabang skizofrenia yang dikaitkan dengan gangguan bahan dalam kimia iaitu ‘serotonin’ dan ‘dopamin’. Ia dianggap merbahaya sekiranya pesakit tidak dirawat kerana ia boleh membawa perlakuan negatif termasuk pembunuhan kejam.
Presiden Persekutuan Asean Bagi Kesihatan Psikiatri dan Mental (AFPMH), Prof Dr Mohamad Hussain Habil, berkata psikosis boleh menyebabkan berlaku perubahan perilaku, termasuk meracau, delusi, halusinasi dan tidak dapat melihat sesuatu dalam bentuk realiti menjadikan pesakit tidak mampu mengawal perasaan.
“Pesakit pskiosis tidak boleh dipandang ringan dan perlu dibantu untuk mendapatkan rawatan. Anehnya walaupun masyarakat kita sedar penyakit mental, masih ramai yang melakukan rawatan menerusi berjumpa bomoh atau pengamal agama masing-masing sedangkan masalah mental seumpama itu perlu mendapatkan rawatan daripada pakar psikiatri. Walaupun sakit mental adalah penyakit baru dikenal pasti kira-kira 50 tahun di Malaysia, tetapi kemajuan bidang perubatan hari ini membolehkan kita mengesan tahap sakit mental seseorang dan priskripsi ubat boleh diberikan berdasarkan tahap penyakit dan jenis tekanan dialami. Semua penyakit berkaitan mental boleh diubati, apabila pesakit di bawa kepada pihak yang pakar dan pesakit pula perlu patuh pada pengambilan ubat diberikan itu.”
“Kalau dulu penyakit mental mungkin orang kaitkan dengan saka atau terkena ilmu hitam, rasukan makhluk halus tetapi dengan adanya kemajuan perubatan itu, ibu bapa perlu segera membawa anak mereka yang mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda kecelaruan mental itu kepada pakar dalam bidang berkenaan,” katanya ketika ditemui, baru-baru ini.
Prof Dr Muhamad mengulas mengenai beberapa kejadian pembunuhan membabitkan pesakit mental dan perilaku kepada mangsa dikatakan agak keterlaluan seperti memotong anggota badan kepada beberapa bahagian, tanpa belas kasihan. Ia berlaku di luar sedar pesakit dan tindakan keganasan boleh berlaku bila-bila masa dan selalunya di rumah.
Prof Dr Mohamad berkata, jika diperhatikan kebanyakan kes pembunuhan dilakukan psikosis berlaku di rumah, justeru mangsa selalunya terdiri daripada orang yang rapat dengan pesakit termasuk ahli keluarga, berbanding pembunuhan biasa yang mungkin melakukannya atas niat dendam dan sebagainya serta di lokasi berbeza.
“Cuba bayangkan perasaan bila kita sedang diserang harimau, tetapi dalam mimpi? Dalam keadaan itu tentu kita berusaha sedaya upaya melawan harimau itu. Tetapi untuk pesakit psikosis, mereka ‘membawa’ perasaan itu dalam dunia realiti, menjadikan manusia yang dilihatnya sebagai harimau itu ‘dilawan’ secara bersungguh-sungguh.”
“Saya pernah berhadapan satu kes yang mana seorang lelaki pesakit psikosis yang mencincang tubuh ibunya. Dalam temubual bersama pesakit itu, dia menyatakan pada ketika itu dia merasakan sedang berkebun dan melihat pokok pisang, lantas pokok berkenaan dipotong dan dicantas. Dalam satu kes lain pula, seorang lelaki yang memang menghidap psikosis, tetapi keluarganya membawanya untuk berubat dengan tok bomoh. Dalam proses pengubatan itu, bomoh berkenaan mengeluarkan keris dan ingin meletakkan di kepala pesakit sebagai ‘penamat’ atau amalan pengubatan, tetapi tiba-tiba pesakit itu tadi melihat tok bomoh berkenaan bertukar menjadi seekor harimau dan untuk menyelamatkan diri, bomoh berkenaan ditikam secara bertubi-tubi,” katanya yang mengakui pesakit psikosis lelaki cenderung melakukan keganasan berbanding wanita kerana tenaga mereka lebih kuat, pada masa sama tiada angka rasmi menunjukkan jantina tidak mempengaruhi jumlah pesakit mental.
Boleh dirawat
BAGAIMANAPUN, katanya, pesakit psikosis yang melakukan tindakan ganas termasuk pembunuhan, dan tindakan membunuh diri, selalunya akan memberikan petunjuk awal, seperti dia berkata ‘Esok aku bunuh engkau’, bagaimanapun keluarga cenderung memandang ringan kata-kata pesakit, sedangkan apabila kata-kata begitu terpacul, keluarga harus terus membawa pesakit ke hospital.
“Hakikatnya kejadian pembunuhan oleh pesakit psikosis tidak sebanyak kes pembunuhan dilakukan oleh orang tidak sakit. Cuma cara pembunuhan yang tragis itulah yang selalunya disensasikan. Kalau dihimpunkan dengan semua kes di hospital sakit jiwa, pembunuhan hanyalah membabitkan 10% saja daripada keseluruhan kes kemasukan di sana,” katanya.
Selain perubahan bahan kimia dalam otak, psikosis juga boleh berlaku terhadap individu yang mengambil dadah seperti syabu dan gam. Sementara itu, anggaran Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) pada 2002, mendapati seramai 154 juta penduduk dunia menghidap kemurungan, 25 juta pesakit skizofrenia, 15 juta terbabit penyalahgunaan dadah, manakala 877,000 membunuh diri.
Penemuan terbaru hasil Kajian Kesihatan dan Morbiditi Kebangsaan 2006 menunjukkan penularan masalah kesihatan mental membabitkan 11.2% orang dewasa dan 20.3% kanak-kanak serta remaja di negara ini. Kajian ini menunjukkan peningkatan berbanding pada 1996 dengan jumlah terbabit hanya 10.7% orang dewasa dan 13% kanak-kanak serta remaja. Lebih membimbangkan, fakta yang menganggarkan antara 20 hingga 30 orang membunuh diri setahun bagi setiap 100,000 rakyat.
Prof Dr Muhamad berkata, pesakit mental banyak berlaku di kalangan orang Melayu dan golongan miskin kerana mereka sering mengaitkan kelakuan pesakit mental seperti bercakap dan ketawa sendirian akibat tersampuk, rasukan dan benda halus menjadikan mereka kurang berminat merawatnya menerusi cara rawatan moden di hospital sebaliknya dirujuk kepada bomoh serta ahli agama.
“Tidak salah kalau kita mempunyai ikhtiar sebegitu. Sekali dua bawa berubat ke bomoh dan ahli agama kalau masih tidak baik juga, keluarga perlu rujuk kepada pihak hospital. Sekiranya tidak dirawat dengan betul, lambat-laun pesakit akan menjadi lebih teruk termasuk membunuh,” katanya.
Tegasnya, kemajuan teknologi perubatan hari ini boleh mengesan pelbagai jenis penyakit mental, malah dalam janin sekalipun imbasan boleh dilakukan mengenal keganjilan pada otak bayi dalam kandungan.
Justeru, katanya, sekiranya mana-mana ahli keluarga dikesan berubah atau menunjukkan tanda seperti bercakap serang diri, segera dapatkan rawatan kerana sebarang jenis pesakit mental boleh dirawat seperti penyakit kencing manis atau darah tinggi.
“Paling penting, pesakit juga memang memerlukan rawatan, cuma mereka sendiri sebenarnya tidak sedar atau tidak tahu yang diri mereka menghidap masalah mental seperti itu,” katanya.
INFO: Kesihatan mental
Pemenang hadiah Nobel, John Nash dari Amerika Syarikat (AS) yang juga seorang individu genius dalam bidang matematik adalah penghidap skizofrenia selama tiga dekad. Namun, selepas tiga dekad berjuang melawan penyakit berkenaan, Nash akhirnya berjaya pulih seperti sedia kala dan menjalani kehidupan normal seperti manusia biasa. Ia membuktikan bahawa pesakit skizofrenia boleh disembuhkan. Pesakit berpeluang menjalani kehidupan normal meskipun terpaksa mengambil masa bertahun-tahun lamanya.
Di AS sendiri, kajian membuktikan, bahawa kekerapan tiga daripada 1,000 orang adalah penghidap skizofrenia, manakala di Malaysia, berdasarkan statistik perangkaan pada tahun 2003, seramai 11,120 orang penghidap skizofrenia. Jumlah ini meningkat kepada 17,250 orang pada 2005 dan dikatakan ia semakin bertambah tahun demi tahun.
Perkataan skizofrenia wujud lebih kurang beratus tahun dulu. Bagaimanapun penyakit ini pertama kali dijumpai dan dikenali sebagai penyakit mental yang dikesan oleh Dr Emile Kraepelin pada 1887. Ada penulisan yang mengatakan skizofreniah dikesan sejak zaman Firaun lagi iaitu sebelum masihi lagi.

Firman Allah SWT :
[7:179] Dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk isi neraka Jahanam kebanyakan dari jin dan manusia, mereka mempunyai hati, tetapi tidak dipergunakannya untuk memahami (ayat-ayat Allah) dan mereka mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk melihat (tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah), dan mereka mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk mendengar (ayat-ayat Allah). Mereka itu sebagai binatang ternak, bahkan mereka lebih sesat lagi. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang lalai.
Hadis Rasulullah SAW:
Dari Abu Hurairah r.a., dari Rasulullah SAW., sabdanya: "Siapa yang tasbih tiga puluh tiga kali, tahmid tiga puluh tiga kali, takbir tiga puluh tiga kali, jadi jumlahnya sembilan puluh sembilan kali, kemudian dicukupkannya seratus dengan membaca: "La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la syarikalahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli syai-in qadir. Maka diampuni Allah segala kesalahannya, walaupun sebanyak buih di lautan." (Hadis riwayat Muslim)

Maafkan Cikgu Muridku
Maafkan Cikgu Muridku
Dalam melayari hidup sebagai guru dan murid
pelbagai ranjau dan onak dilalui
berbunga mekar hati dengan pencapainmu muridku
sejuk bak salju hati ini dengan kemuliaan akhlakmu
pun begitu adakala muridku
akhlakmu kurang sempurna
cikgu betulkan dengan lisan
pun begitu kerasnya hatimu
maka hukuman juga terpaksa diberikan
ada yang protes meninggi suara
hati cikgu terguris
tidur tak lena
jiwa tertekan
maka dengan takdir Allah
sakitlah cikgu
ada yang menderita kanser
ada yang darah tinggi
ada yang kencing manis
dan entah apa lagi penyakit
kerana tekanan adalah punca penyakit
Ada muridku memfitnah guru kepada ibu bapa
maka ada guru dizalimi
sabarlah wahai guru kerana ini satu perjuangan
setiap perjuangan perlu ada pengorbanan
Kini guru sakit tidak sekuat dulu
lemah seluruh anggota
hospital rumah kedua cikgu
tulang dibaluti kulit
hingga ada muridku memanggil cikgu ikan kering
ada yang menggelar cikgu keropeh ayam
cikgu tak kisah
keran cikgu tahu akal mu masih mentah
takkan cikgu nak saman di mahkamah
Pun begitu muridku,
ramai yang menziarahi cikgu
walaupun kini dah menjawat jawatan tinggi
walaupun kini di pusat pengajian tinggi
Sebelum ajal cikgu tiba
sekali lagi cikgu memohon maaf
jika ada tutur kata dan tindakan cikgu menyakitkan hatimu
cuma keridhaan Allah yang cikgu dambakan

Jerman yang buat kenapa Islam ditindas wahai Israel
BERIKUT IALAH PETIKAN DARI LAMAN WEB JEWS. BACA DAN NILAI DENGAN BIJAKSANA.
History of the Holocaust — An Introduction
The Holocaust (also called Shoah in Hebrew) refers to the period from January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945 (V E Day), when the war in Europe ended. During this time, Jews in Europe were subjected to progressively harsh persecution that ultimately led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews (1.5 million of these being children) and the destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities. These deaths represented two-thirds of European Jewry and one-third of world Jewry. The Jews who died were not casualties of the fighting that ravaged Europe during World War II. Rather, they were the victims of Germany's deliberate and systematic attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe, a plan Hitler called the “Final Solution” (Endlosung).
After its defeat in World War I, Germany was humiliated by the Versailles Treaty, which reduced its prewar territory, drastically reduced its armed forces, demanded the recognition of its guilt for the war, and stipulated it pay reparations to the allied powers. The German Empire destroyed, a new parliamentary government called the Weimar Republic was formed. The republic suffered from economic instability, which grew worse during the worldwide depression after the New York stock market crash in 1929. Massive inflation followed by very high unemployment heightened existing class and political differences and began to undermine the government.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party, was named chancellor by president Paul von Hindenburg after the Nazi party won a significant percentage of the vote in the elections of 1932. The Nazi Party had taken advantage of the political unrest in Germany to gain an electoral foothold. The Nazis incited clashes with the communists, who many feared, disrupted the government with demonstrations, and conducted a vicious propaganda campaign against its political opponents-the weak Weimar government, and the Jews, whom the Nazis blamed for Germany's ills.
Propaganda: “The Jews Are Our Misfortune”
A major tool of the Nazis' propaganda assault was the weekly Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer (The Attacker). At the bottom of the front page of each issue, in bold letters, the paper proclaimed, "The Jews are our misfortune!" Der Stürmer also regularly featured cartoons of Jews in which they were caricatured as hooked-nosed and ape like. The influence of the newspaper was far-reaching: by 1938 about a half million copies were distributed weekly.
Soon after he became chancellor, Hitler called for new elections in an effort to get full control of the Reichstag, the German parliament, for the Nazis. The Nazis used the government apparatus to terrorize the other parties. They arrested their leaders and banned their political meetings. Then, in the midst of the election campaign, on February 27, 1933, the Reichstag building burned. A Dutchman named Marinus van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime, and he swore he had acted alone. Although many suspected the Nazis were ultimately responsible for the act, the Nazis managed to blame the Communists, thus turning more votes their way.
The fire signaled the demise of German democracy. On the next day, the government, under the pretense of controlling the Communists, abolished individual rights and protections: freedom of the press, assembly, and expression were nullified, as well as the right to privacy. When the elections were held on March 5, the Nazis received nearly 44 percent of the vote, and with 8 percent offered by the Conservatives, won a majority in the government.
The Nazis moved swiftly to consolidate their power into a dictatorship. On March 23, the Enabling Act was passed. It sanctioned Hitler’s dictatorial efforts and legally enabled him to pursue them further. The Nazis marshaled their formidable propaganda machine to silence their critics. They also developed a sophisticated police and military force.
The Sturmabteilung (S.A., Storm Troopers), a grassroots organization, helped Hitler undermine the German democracy. The Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei, Secret State Police), a force recruited from professional police officers, was given complete freedom to arrest anyone after February 28. The Schutzstaffel (SS, Protection Squad) served as Hitler’s personal bodyguard and eventually controlled the concentration camps and the Gestapo. The Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers SS (S.D., Security Service of the SS) functioned as the Nazis' intelligence service, uncovering enemies and keeping them under surveillance.
With this police infrastructure in place, opponents of the Nazis were terrorized, beaten, or sent to one of the concentration camps the Germans built to incarcerate them. Dachau, just outside of Munich, was the first such camp built for political prisoners. Dachau's purpose changed over time and eventually became another brutal concentration camp for Jews.
By the end of 1934 Hitler was in absolute control of Germany, and his campaign against the Jews in full swing. The Nazis claimed the Jews corrupted pure German culture with their "foreign" and "mongrel" influence. They portrayed the Jews as evil and cowardly, and Germans as hardworking, courageous, and honest. The Jews, the Nazis claimed, who were heavily represented in finance, commerce, the press, literature, theater, and the arts, had weakened Germany's economy and culture. The massive government-supported propaganda machine created a racial anti-Semitism, which was different from the long standing anti-Semitic tradition of the Christian churches.
The superior race was the "Aryans," the Germans. The word Aryan, "derived from the study of linguistics, which started in the eighteenth century and at some point determined that the Indo-Germanic (also known as Aryan) languages were superior in their structures, variety, and vocabulary to the Semitic languages that had evolved in the Near East. This judgment led to a certain conjecture about the character of the peoples who spoke these languages; the conclusion was that the 'Aryan' peoples were likewise superior to the 'Semitic' ones" (Leni Yahil, The Holocaust: The Fate of European Jewry, New York: Oxford University Press, 1990, p. 36).
The Jews Are Isolated from Society
The Nazis then combined their racial theories with the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin to justify their treatment of the Jews. The Germans, as the strongest and fittest, were destined to rule, while the weak and racially adulterated Jews were doomed to extinction. Hitler began to restrict the Jews with legislation and terror, which entailed burning books written by Jews, removing Jews from their professions and public schools, confiscating their businesses and property and excluding them from public events. The most infamous of the anti-Jewish legislation were the Nuremberg Laws, enacted on September 15, 1935. They formed the legal basis for the Jews' exclusion from German society and the progressively restrictive Jewish policies of the Germans.
Many Jews attempted to flee Germany, and thousands succeeded by immigrating to such countries as Belgium, Czechoslovakia, England, France and Holland. It was much more difficult to get out of Europe. Jews encountered stiff immigration quotas in most of the world's countries. Even if they obtained the necessary documents, they often had to wait months or years before leaving. Many families out of desperation sent their children first.
In July 1938, representatives of 32 countries met in the French town of Evian to discuss the refugee and immigration problems created by the Nazis in Germany. Nothing substantial was done or decided at the Evian Conference, and it became apparent to Hitler that no one wanted the Jews and that he would not meet resistance in instituting his Jewish policies. By the autumn of 1941, Europe was in effect sealed to most legal emigration. The Jews were trapped.
On November 9-10, 1938, the attacks on the Jews became violent. Hershel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old Jewish boy distraught at the deportation of his family, shot Ernst vom Rath, the third secretary in the German Embassy in Paris, who died on November 9. Nazi hooligans used this assassination as the pretext for instigating a night of destruction that is now known as Kristallnacht (the night of broken glass). They looted and destroyed Jewish homes and businesses and burned synagogues. Many Jews were beaten and killed; 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
The Jews Are Confined to Ghettos
Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, beginning World War II. Soon after, in 1940, the Nazis began establishing ghettos for the Jews of Poland. More than 10 percent of the Polish population was Jewish, numbering about three million. Jews were forcibly deported from their homes to live in crowded ghettos, isolated from the rest of society. This concentration of the Jewish population later aided the Nazis in their deportation of the Jews to the death camps. The ghettos lacked the necessary food, water, space, and sanitary facilities required by so many people living within their constricted boundaries. Many died of deprivation and starvation.
The “Final Solution”
In June 1941 Germany attacked the Soviet Union and began the "Final Solution." Four mobile killing groups were formed called Einsatzgruppen A, B, C and D. Each group contained several commando units. The Einsatzgruppen gathered Jews town by town, marched them to huge pits dug earlier, stripped them, lined them up, and shot them with automatic weapons. The dead and dying would fall into the pits to be buried in mass graves. In the infamous Babi Yar massacre, near Kiev, 30,000-35,000 Jews were killed in two days. In addition to their operations in the Soviet Union, the Einsatzgruppen conducted mass murder in eastern Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. It is estimated that by the end of 1942, the Einsatzgruppen had murdered more than 1.3 million Jews.
On January 20, 1942, several top officials of the German government met to officially coordinate the military and civilian administrative branches of the Nazi system to organize a system of mass murder of the Jews. This meeting, called the Wannsee Conference, "marked the beginning of the full-scale, comprehensive extermination operation [of the Jews] and laid the foundations for its organization, which started immediately after the conference ended" (Yahil, The Holocaust, p. 318).
While the Nazis murdered other national and ethnic groups, such as a number of Soviet prisoners of war, Polish intellectuals, and gypsies, only the Jews were marked for systematic and total annihilation. Jews were singled out for "Special Treatment" (Sonderbehandlung), which meant that Jewish men, women and children were to be methodically killed with poisonous gas. In the exacting records kept at the Auschwitz death camp, the cause of death of Jews who had been gassed was indicated by "SB," the first letters of the two words that form the German term for "Special Treatment."
By the spring of 1942, the Nazis had established six killing centers (death camps) in Poland: Chelmno (Kulmhof), Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Maidanek and Auschwitz. All were located near railway lines so that Jews could be easily transported daily. A vast system of camps (called Lagersystem) supported the death camps. The purpose of these camps varied: some were slave labor camps, some transit camps, others concentration camps and their sub camps, and still others the notorious death camps. Some camps combined all of these functions or a few of them. All the camps were intolerably brutal.
The major concentration camps were Ravensbruck, Neuengamme, Bergen-Belsen, Sachsenhausen, Gross-Rosen, Buchenwald, Theresienstadt, Flossenburg, Natzweiler-Struthof, Dachau, Mauthausen, Stutthof, and Dora/Nordhausen.
In nearly every country overrun by the Nazis, the Jews were forced to wear badges marking them as Jews, they were rounded up into ghettos or concentration camps and then gradually transported to the killing centers. The death camps were essentially factories for murdering Jews. The Germans shipped thousands of Jews to them each day. Within a few hours of their arrival, the Jews had been stripped of their possessions and valuables, gassed to death, and their bodies burned in specially designed crematoriums. Approximately 3.5 million Jews were murdered in these death camps.
Many healthy, young strong Jews were not killed immediately. The Germans' war effort and the “Final Solution” required a great deal of manpower, so the Germans reserved large pools of Jews for slave labor. These people, imprisoned in concentration and labor camps, were forced to work in German munitions and other factories, such as I.G. Farben and Krupps, and wherever the Nazis needed laborers. They were worked from dawn until dark without adequate food and shelter. Thousands perished, literally worked to death by the Germans and their collaborators.
In the last months of Hitler’s Reich, as the German armies retreated, the Nazis began marching the prisoners still alive in the concentration camps to the territory they still controlled. The Germans forced the starving and sick Jews to walk hundreds of miles. Most died or were shot along the way. About a quarter of a million Jews died on the death marches.
Jewish Resistance
The Germans' overwhelming repression and the presence of many collaborators in the various local populations severely limited the ability of the Jews to resist. Jewish resistance did occur, however, in several forms. Staying alive, clean, and observing Jewish religious traditions constituted resistance under the dehumanizing conditions imposed by the Nazis. Other forms of resistance involved escape attempts from the ghettos and camps. Many who succeeded in escaping the ghettos lived in the forests and mountains in family camps and in fighting partisan units. Once free, though, the Jews had to contend with local residents and partisan groups who were often openly hostile. Jews also staged armed revolts in the ghettos of Vilna, Bialystok, Bedzin-Sosnowiec, Cracow, and Warsaw.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the largest ghetto revolt. Massive deportations (or Aktions) had been held in the ghetto from July to September 1942, emptying the ghetto of the majority of Jews imprisoned there. When the Germans entered the ghetto again in January 1943 to remove several thousand more, small unorganized groups of Jews attacked them. After four days, the Germans withdrew from the ghetto, having deported far fewer people than they had intended. The Nazis reentered the ghetto on April 19, 1943, the eve of Passover, to evacuate the remaining Jews and close the ghetto. The Jews, using homemade bombs and stolen or bartered weapons, resisted and withstood the Germans for 27 days. They fought from bunkers and sewers and evaded capture until the Germans burned the ghetto building by building. By May 16 the ghetto was in ruins and the uprising crushed.
Jews also revolted in the death camps of Sobibor, Treblinka and Auschwitz. All of these acts of resistance were largely unsuccessful in the face of the superior German forces, but they were very important spiritually, giving the Jews hope that one day the Nazis would be defeated.
Liberation and the End of War
The camps were liberated gradually, as the Allies advanced on the German army. For example, Maidanek (near Lublin, Poland) was liberated by Soviet forces in July 1944, Auschwitz in January 1945 by the Soviets, Bergen-Belsen (near Hanover, Germany) by the British in April 1945, and Dachau by the Americans in April 1945.
At the end of the war, between 50,000 and 100,000 Jewish survivors were living in three zones of occupation: American, British and Soviet. Within a year, that figure grew to about 200,000. The American zone of occupation contained more than 90 percent of the Jewish displaced persons (DPs). The Jewish DPs would not and could not return to their homes, which brought back such horrible memories and still held the threat of danger from anti-Semitic neighbors. Thus, they languished in DP camps until emigration could be arranged to Palestine, and later Israel, the United States, South America and other countries. The last DP camp closed in 1957 (David S. Wyman, "The United States," in David S. Wyman, ed., The World Reacts to the Holocaust, Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996, pp. 707 10).
Below are figures for the number of Jews murdered in each country that came under German domination. They are estimates, as are all figures relating to Holocaust victims. The numbers given here for Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania are based on their territorial borders before the 1938 Munich agreement. The total number of six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, which emerged from the Nuremberg trials, is also an estimate. Numbers have ranged between five and seven million killed.

History of the Holocaust — An Introduction
The Holocaust (also called Shoah in Hebrew) refers to the period from January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945 (V E Day), when the war in Europe ended. During this time, Jews in Europe were subjected to progressively harsh persecution that ultimately led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews (1.5 million of these being children) and the destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities. These deaths represented two-thirds of European Jewry and one-third of world Jewry. The Jews who died were not casualties of the fighting that ravaged Europe during World War II. Rather, they were the victims of Germany's deliberate and systematic attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe, a plan Hitler called the “Final Solution” (Endlosung).
After its defeat in World War I, Germany was humiliated by the Versailles Treaty, which reduced its prewar territory, drastically reduced its armed forces, demanded the recognition of its guilt for the war, and stipulated it pay reparations to the allied powers. The German Empire destroyed, a new parliamentary government called the Weimar Republic was formed. The republic suffered from economic instability, which grew worse during the worldwide depression after the New York stock market crash in 1929. Massive inflation followed by very high unemployment heightened existing class and political differences and began to undermine the government.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party, was named chancellor by president Paul von Hindenburg after the Nazi party won a significant percentage of the vote in the elections of 1932.

CINTA ITU
CINTA ITU
Cinta itu bagai bunga yang mekar
tidak dapat diramal bila menjelma
cinta pada Allah cinta sejati
kekadang pudar kekadang memuncak
cinta Allah mengiringi kita ke tempat asal kita
syurga menanti...................
Cinta ibu sukar diluah dengan lidah
hati mekar bersama mekarnya cinta ibu
cinta ibu membawa ke syurga
cinta ayah sanggup berlapar demi anak kenyang
sanggup berpeluh biar anak duduk bersepuh
gunung bukit lurah di daki
demi keluarga yang dicintai
cinta pada isteri bak salju
putih bersih penuh kesetiaan dan pengorbanan
moga cinta berkekalan ke Jannatul Firdaus
cinta pada anak bak angkasa tak bertepi
nasi disuap,nyamuk dikejar najis dicuci
agar anak bahagia selalu
bimbang masa depanmu
dadah,merempit dan gejala sosial
ilmu dunia dibekal
ilmu akhirat lebih-lebih lagi
kepadaMu ya Allah kami bertawakkal'

PERISTIWA PENTING SEPANJANG MINGGU (24 - 28 JAN 2010)
Ahad minggu ini merupakan Ahad pertama saya tidak ke sekolah kerana cuti sakit. Saya cuti sakit sejak Isnin lepas. Apa sakit saya? Sakit kanser tu dah biasa buat saya tetapi Alhamdulillah sejak lepas Hari Raya Qurban, saya tidak lagi mengalami sakit perut melampau sehingga berpeluh dan hanya reda bila dimasukkan ubat tahan sakit melalui saluran darah.Saluran darah dilengan dah keras, jadi doktor terpaksa memasukkan jarum melalui urat di leher. Saya pernah dimasukkan susu ke dalam badan melalui saluran darah kerana tidak makan 20 hari. Malangnya bila susu dimasukkan melalui saluran darah, susu yang pekat menyebabkan saluran darah tersumbat dan terpaksa doktor cucuk jarum di lengan sebelah lagi. Sakit tak? Cubalah anda cucuk lengan anda dengan jarum, lebih sakit dari itu. Akibat saluran darah selalu tersumbat, doktor telah menebuk dada saya bagi dimasukkan tiub ke saluran darah besar di dada. Saya masih ingat lagi pada bulan Jun tahun lepas ketika prosedur dilakukan Cikgu YM. Tg.Azmi Raja Ismail melihatnya. Saya tidak dapat bercakap dengannya kerana menahan kesakitan akibat ditebuk di dada dengan hanya diberi suntikan ubat bius. Rasa mahu tendang saja 2 orang doktor India yang melakukan prosedur tersebut tetapi saya masih dapat bersabar. Selepas siap prosedur, saya di-Xray, malangnya, tiub yang dimasukkan terlalu panjang dan jam 12 malam datang doktor perempuan dan menetas balik jahitan di dada saya serta menarik keluar sedikit tiub tersebut. Sakit usah ceritalah, mungkin beginilah yang dialami oleh pejuang Islam dipenjara Israel dan di Guantanamoa Bay. Jam 2 pagi datang juru x-ray dengan portable x-ray dan dada saya di - x-ray Pagi esoknya, doktor India, Dr.Ravidran datang balik dan melihat x-ray. Sekali lagi nasib tak menyebelahi saya, tiub perlu ditarik keluar lagi. Jahitan dibuka semula dan tiub ditarik dan tempat yang ditebuk dijahit semula. Kemudian saya di-X-ray sekali lagi dan kali ini baru berjaya dan dapatlah susu(TPM) dimasukkan. Maksudnya saya telah 3 kali dibedah dalam sehari. Malang sekali lagi kerana tiub itu cuma bertahan 2 hari untuk dimasukkan susu, tiub bocor dan terpaksa dibuang untuk mengelak jangkitan. Senangnya doktor, tak tahukah dia bagaimana sakitnya saya! Saya dibenarkan makan secara biasa dan esoknya dibenarkan balik. Bulan Jun paling lama saya dimasukkan di wad 2 INTAN HUSM KUBANG KERIAN DAN 1 Selatan HUSM.
Kita lupakan dulu kisah saya masuk wad kerana wad adalah rumah nombor dua saya sejak sakit kanser. Sejak saya makan SUSU LEBAH saya rasa bertenaga tetapi timbul kesan sampingan daripada pengambilan UBAT SUTENT (Oral Chemoteraphy) iaitu lebam di tapak kaki yang menyebabkan saya tidak dapat berjalan. Saya pergi ke KLINIK Bachok dan M.A.Aminuddin beri cuti 2 hari bersama losen untuk disapu di tapak kaki dan Oral Aid untuk disapu di lidah saya yang pecah(Ulser)
Hari Rabu saya ada temujanji dengan Profesor Madya Hasanah Che Ismail, seorang Pakar Pysho-Canser. Saya tidak mahu bercerita panjang kerana anda boleh lihat arkib saya di bawah tajuk What My Doctor Said.
Sambung lain kali kerana isteri ajak makan malam. .....Wassalam.

What My Doctor Said
I spent one hour outside clinic day, today, with my patient who is suffering severe anxiety and depression. I learnt a lot from him today. Yes, the patient is a He. I never perceived him to be severely depressed until in the last clinic session, when I got an extra DASS-21 questionnaire with me and casually asked him to rate his psychological symptoms. Most of his responses were circled as 3.
I was tricked into underestimating his depression and anxiety, because he always looked smart and smiling when he met me in the clinic sessions. Now, retrospectively, I remembered he had cried tears on two previous visits.
In psychiatry, we are always reminded to take suicidal attempt by males as serious. I guess, similarly, we shouldn’t take lightly male patients who keep coming for complaint of depression. My mistake and that I’ve to admit. I hope the special one hour therapy to him today will make up for my previous negligence and over reliance on psychiatric medications.
I thought him NLP and gave him a Time Line Therapy. I figured out that Time Line is so easy to conjure, but today I have to figure out its significance in a person who is so depressed and carrying loads of emotional baggages. He can’t come up with any form of Time Line, even after a lot of explanation and example. He shared the same spot with all the traumas from his past. Oh dear, then only I could feel the real proportion of his suffering. In today’s therapy, I showed the patient a way to figure out my own Time Line and encourage him to borrow mine and use it with the exercises I thought him to do.
After the session, he was smiling at me and with all the courage he had, he reflected to me that we “manusia” never want to model our Creator. He said that God never take significance of all those negative and undesired things that human conducted or experience once at a certain point in human's life, he or she repented. Now, how come people like him keep loads of bad memories and emotions on his shoulder. He felt and was feeling the strain in his neck and shoulders. Before I could say anything....... his smile became broader and livelier, and he added, ”Yes Doc, I know how to talk but didn’t know how to get out of my problem.”
My dear patient, “Knowing is not enough! Do the exercises I thought you and do it repeatedly.” You have to work for your freedom and it is so easy once you know how to do it.

SERI RENGAS CHALET
Rumahku terletak di tepi sungai Kemasin. Dulu sebelum sakit, aku sering berehat di tepi sungai melihat ikan patin melompat, melihat orang kampung menahan pukat dan tauk. Kini aku bercadang untuk membina Chalet sebagai tempatku berehat jika Allah memberi kesembuhan sepenuhnya kepadaku, kalau tidakpun, aku akan membina "payung" di tepi sungai. Bila saudara-mara dan kawan-kawan datang bolehlah minum di tepi sungai sambil melihat panorama indah di sungai Kemasin.
