Aku Ingin Pulang

Please read this and pass it on to any Muslims, as much as you can. It is a vital and important information. Muslims should now refrain from using the term "Mosque".
I was flipping through this book the other day called "THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM" and it is filled with fun facts.

One of them concerns the term "Mosque." So many of us think that this is the English translation of Masjid. I'm sure none of us ever wondered how this term came into being when it really had little in common with how it sounded compared to 'Masjid'.
(We were very young when we were taught this English word. Our mind then were not critical & analytical, so didn't dare to ask/challenge our teachers, right?).

Anyway this book pointed out that the term 'mosque' is derived from the Spanish word for "mosquito." It was termed as such because during the Crusades, King Ferdinand said they were going to go and swat the Muslims "like mosquitoes".
(Where else can they find Muslims in large number to be swatted if not in a Masjid?).

So,they cheekily termed "Masjid" as "Mosque". So dear Muslim brothers and sisters, refrain from using this term which is obviously a disgusting slap in the face to the Ummah.

Educate our brothers and sisters to the history and etymology of this word. And let us replace it with the word which is MEANT to be used:
Masjid! The Place of Prostration!! Not Mosque: the place to be swatted!
If any of you have doubts about this, then please go look for the book and read it!!!

From: “Tsunami Northern Sumatra” <tsunamitra@yahoo.com> Add to Address Book
Subject: dari yang bernama cinta, bukannya tsunami
To: nazmiwrit@yahoo.com

Nama saya Cinta, bukan Tsunami. Ia hanya gelaran yang umat saudara berikan kepada kami. Apa yang saya lakukan adalah kerana cinta dan kerana itu nama saya adalah Cinta.

Amat sukar untuk saya menulis e-mel kepada saudara. Pertama, dengan tindakan saya itu, sebahagian daripada umat saudara akan menganggap saya sebagai musuh. Kedua, ia tidak pernah dilakukan saudara saya terdahulu untuk berhubung dengan manusia selepas memuntahkan kemarahan.

Namun, masa berganjak dan teknologi juga berubah, lalu sekarang ia memungkinkan kami berhubung dengan manusia melalui internet tanpa perlu bertentang mata.

Fahami saya, pasti saudara akan menerima tindakan saya yang mengorbankan puluhan ribu manusia. Bahkan, Setiausaha Agung pertubuhan kemanusiaan anda, Kofi Annan jangka melewati ratusan ribu.

Jangan tanya saya, angka setepatnya kerana sewaktu saya dilanda kemarahan, sudah saya tinggalkan akal saya di 3.267° Utara, 95.821° Timur; seperti yang dilakukan pemimpin manusia saudara – George W Bush yang tercirit akalnya di White House dan Tony Blair di No 10 Downing Street, apabila kedua kepala kongsi itu melancarkan keganasan ke atas Afghanistan serta Iraq.

Mengapa saya begitu marah dan panasaran? Saya tidak boleh memberikan sebab yang objektif. Hanya saya mahu jelaskan – hanya kami golongan ombak besar dan bencana alam lain yang berhak menghapuskan manusia kerana kami bukan manusia, tidak juga makhluk yang mengaku bukan manusia biasa.

Sekiranya saudara melihat sasaran kemarahan saya, saudara tentu faham tindakan saya.
Perdana Menteri Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra tidak berhak membiarkan puluhan rakyat di selatan negaranya terkorban. Thaksin tidak berhak membiarkan manusia ghaib tiba-tiba tanpa alasan yang benar dan tanpa sebab yang jelas. Hanya kami umat ombak besar yang berhak merentap jiwa dan menelannya ke dalam tubuh kami tanpa perlu mengembalikannya atau pun hany memuntahkannya selepas itu.

Di Indonesia, tidak ada pemimpin dan tentera yang berhak melancarkan operasi ketenteraan hingga menyebabkan ratusan ribu orang awam terkorban. Acheh, bukan bumi berdarah di tangan mereka kerana kami terpaksa membasuhnya dengan kasar kerana darah tak pernah berhenti mengalir.

Kerajaan didominasi Sinhalese dengan puak pemisah Tamil tidak berhak mengotorkan bumi Sri Lanka dengan darah, kerana kami umat ombak besar terpaksa menyucikannya dengan tubuh kami. Penyucian yang kami lakukan terpaksa pula menelan korban kerana kami tidak akan menghantar memo terlebih dulu.

India perlu berhenti daripada meratah bumi Jammu dan Kashmir sehingga mengorbankan jiwa yang tak berdosa atau kami umat ombak besar terpaksa meratah pesisiran pantainya, lalu menghenyakkan tulang-temulang manusia ke dasar perut kami.

Mungkin saudara bertanya, “Mengapa Malaysia?” Maafkan kerana saya terpaksa menjawab, apabila kami menzahirkan kemarahan, tidak ada sempadan yang dapat menghalang daripada sampai ke segenap manusia, termasuk yang tidak ada kena-mengena dengan kemarahan kami itu.

Atau dalam perkataan manusia seperti saudara, “Collateral damage.”

Manusia seperti saudara memerlukan sebab sebelum melakukan pembunuhan, peperangan dan keganasan. Apabila saudara menemukan sebab itu, kalian terpaksa mencipta bukti dan merancang strategi untuk melaksanakannya. Selepas itu, kalian menghidupkan api peperangan dan mengorbankan hingga puluhan ribu atau ratusan ribu – sebelum kalian mengisytiharkan kemenangan dan keamanan di atas timbunan tubuh manusia.

Kami, umat ombak besar tidak perlu apa yang kalian lakukan itu. Seperti saya, yang saya perlukan hanya sedikit esakan ibu kami, Bumi dengan kadar 9 skala Ritcher, sebelum saya melepaskan kemarahan selaju 800 kilometer sejam dan sejauh lebih 4,500 kilometer.
Saya tidak perlukan bukti dan strategi, sebaliknya saya hanya membiarkan fitrah menggerakkan kemarahan itu. Saya tidak memilih siapa yang harus dihukum kerana kesalahan perlu ditanggung umat manusia seluruhnya.

Saudara mungkin tertanya, “Adakah selayaknya nama saya sebagai Cinta?”

Sebelum saudara mempersoalkannya, anggaplah saja saya seperti seorang anak yang melihat ibu bapa yang dicintainya dibunuh di depan mata; zaman kanak-kanaknya diragut di muncung senjata dan harapan sudah lama berkecai. Kanak-kanak itu membesar dengan cintanya yang hilang dan marah pada dewasanya adalah kerana cinta.
Sayalah Cinta yang terpaksa mengorbankan puluhan ribu jiwa manusia!

Saya yang bertanggungjawab,
Cinta aka Tsunami

From the "Islamic Voice" Vol 12-04 No:136 * APRIL '97
By a Sister who wishes to remain anonymous

I have been on the net for a year but this is the first time I am
posting something and I have chosen to do it anonymously for a
reason. My dear sisters, please don't hurt and offend each other.
Don't be rude to each other. This kind of attitude that has been
going on is enough to "chase" away new Muslimah.

I have been a Muslim for 2 1/2 years and don't have any friends. Al-
hamdulilah, the beginning of this Ramadan was a BIG blessing to me.
I am a convert of 2 1/2 years. All the way from first grade to 12th
grade I went to an all girls Catholic school. I am an only child to
my parents. Growing up, I had no friends because no friend
seemed "Catholic" enough. My dad and mum were my only friends
because according to me they were good Christians. My parents were
very STRICT...they both grew up as STRICT Christians. They would
drop me to school and then pick me up. My growing up years were
spent in school or the Church.
I loved Christianity but questioned so many things. The Summer I
graduated from high school (95), I started reading on Islam. I read
a lot of books on Islam. My parents were aware of what I was reading
because it was they who gave me rides or dropped and picked me up
from the library. After reading about 15 books on Islam in three
months, I started ordering video tapes on the internet. Talk of
Ahmed Deedat's lectures or debates.... I have seen them all.

Well, my parents were kind enough to give me money to order these
video tapes. They were even kind enough to sit down with me and
watch some of these tapes. As I mentioned above, I am their only
child and they did everything for me. "Mum, dad, give me some money
I need to buy this book...there was mummy or daddy giving me money.
Mum...dad.. can we spend the evening watching this video tape
instead of going out... Again there were mum and dad watching "Is
Jesus son of God?", "Is the Holy Qur'an the word of God?", Is the
Bible the word of God and so many others. All this time I knew deep
in my heart that Islam was the religion for me. My parents too knew
that Islam was the truth, although they did not want to admit it.

Things turned upside down in our three-bedroom house when one night
(two weeks before I was to start my first year in college) I told my
parents that I wanted to be a Muslim "legally." It was a shock to
both of them. My dad's first words were "you will be a Muslim...over
my dead body...do you think we raised you to be a Muslim, do you
think we wasted all this time on you so you could turn your back on
us and our religion.... Wow!! That night I saw a side of my parents
I had never seen. In my almost 18 year old mind I thought they were
watching and reading the books with me because they were interested
in Islam as a religion but not as an "entertainment."

Three days later I told my parents that I was going to take Shahadah
at the mosque. After surfing the internet and telephone directory, I
found one mosque and noted the address down. But how was I going get
there? Of course my parents are not going to drive me there. They
are already regretting why they even drove me to the library to get
the books in the first place, why they even gave me money to buy the
video tapes. I wanted to take Shahadah before college started, so I
could begin college with a "new" life. Now I only had a week left. I
called metro and asked them which bus would take me to the address I
had in hand.

I left the house for the first time on my own, going to the bus
stop. As soon as I got to the bus stop, my mother was behind me in
the car. We talked for two hours and no one convinced the other.
Finally she decided to drop me there on ONE condition, that is, I
will not tell my dad that she drove me there. I hugged my mother and
cried on her shoulders. I knew deep inside that no matter what I do
or say to my mother, she will always be there for me. After an hour
of silence in the car, we reached the mosque. She wanted to stay in
the car while I went in....after about 10 minutes my mother was in
the mosque and she witnessed me taking Shahadah.

After taking Shahadah, several sisters promised that they would
teach me how to pray, and blah...blah...blah. About 8 sisters asked
for my phone number. I was so happy and excited. Although I felt at
peace, I could not stop thinking about the conversation I overheard
at the Mosque, "this white woman converts to Islam because she wants
to get married to our Arab, and Pakistan brothers."

Months passed and none of the 8 sisters called me. In fact I never
saw them at the mosque again. After two months in college, I met a
sister on campus...she wasn't very friendly. She too promised that
she will call me but she never did. 2 weeks later I met her in the
library...I asked her if she knew of any mosques close by. Al-
hamdulilah, she was kind enough tospare 20 minutes of her time with
me. She told me that there were almost 5-6 mosques. She also told me
about the MSA on campus. I went to all the meetings and never missed
Friday prayer. One Friday I asked one sister if she could teach me
how to say the prayers correctly. She didn't have time that
particular day but promised to call me and let me know when she was
available. She never called me and I never saw her again. Again at a
Friday prayer I asked a different sister. This one did not ask for
my phone number but asked for my e-mail address. We exchanged e-mail
addresses. I wrote to her and she responded the same day telling me
that she is busy this quarter.... "Maybe next quarter." I cried to
myself that night.... why me? Why is no one being friendly to me?
What wrong have I done....I am only trying to find a sister to help
me learn how to pray and memorize some Surahs.

I went back to the masjid and one sister "offered" to help me. She
too did not have enough time but through her I was able to learn the
exact prayer words in Arabic and also memorized some Surahs.

Things became worse both at home with my parents and in my own life
in September 97 when I told my parents that I wanted to move and
live in the dorm. Even though my parents were not happy with my idea
of living in the dorm....they felt relieved in a way. Here I was a
20 year old woman living at home with my parents. Each morning my
mother has to drive me to college. Each evening my father has to
drive me home. The trip from home to school was an hour long. An
hour with my mother each morning and an hour with my father each
morning...what a waste of time. So I thought living in the dorms
will make things easy for me. After living in the dorm for a month
it was not easy. I missed my parents a lot. Well, that is life I
guess. One evening I saw an ad in the MSA office saying "Muslim
(female) wanted for a room mate and the rent is 350 per month." You
cannot imagine how happy I was!! I quickly called the number and the
sister who answered the phone asked me several questions. She
already knew who I was because I told her I am the convert at her
school . My dream of having a Muslimah roommate was "shattered"...I
was not good enough to be in her room. It is almost 4 months now and
the same ad is still out there. Honestly I was hurt and offended.
Why do we call ourselves sisters and yet we are discriminating? I
still don't know what kind of a sister she was/is looking for.
Honestly, I am ashamed of this one sister on this NET, we go to the
same school... I see her posting so many times and I ask myself....
does this sister really know that I exist on this net? What if she
knew, would she really care, would she really apologize to me for
what she has done to me and for how she had mistreated me when I
first met her on campus a year ago. What a shame!! Let's put in
action what we preach or what we post. I probably did something
wrong by telling this sister that she wasn't wearing her hijab
correctly. Yes, I still believe she was/is not wearing her hijab the
right way because it is half way through her head. Her hair shows on
the front and her pony tail sticks out. I know it was none of my
business to tell her, but I still think I did the right thing.
Others who paid attention to me did change their way of covering.

My dream of finding a Muslimah room mate still continued. The second
day of Ramadan I was at the masjid when a sister was posting an
ad "I am looking for a Muslim practising female roommate". I talked
to the sister who was posting the ad and she said that she prefers
an Arab roomate because they have so much in common. I said..."but
the ad says a Muslim female" and she responds..." it was a mistake
blah blah... "

I have been going to the above masjid for almost a year now since
the beginning of last Ramadan but never made any friends. It was the
same sisters who came to the masjid. No sister paid attention to me,
actually no one noticed my presence sin that masjid. I admired the
sisters talking together and reading Qur'an together, I longed to be
part of them but my presence was NEVER noticed. Al-hamdulilah I was
praying Jumaah at least.

The third day of Ramadan this year, I went to pray taraweeh again.
As usual I was in the same corner of the room with my English
translation of the Holy Qur'an. 20 minutes before the prayer began,
some 6 young sisters that I have NEVER met before came into the
masjid. All the eyebrows raised. These 6 sisters were asked several
questions, "where are you guys from? Do you speak Arabic? How come
we have never seen you before? Are you new in town, and blah
blah.... The other sisters did not answer any of the
questions..except for one who seemed to be the youngest of all (she
was probably 12 or 13). Anyway she answered "we are Muslims and have
come to pray here because this masjid is the closest to where we
live, now can we please pay attention to the what the Imam is
saying."

MashaAllah this 6 new sisters were very friendly to me. They were
sitting next to me in the back row when one of the sisters
said..."she likes sitting in the back because she can't read Arabic
and only knows 4-5 surahs. The 12-13 year old girl asked..."Have you
ever tried to teach her how to read Arabic? The other sister didn't
give the answer.

After the prayer that night the sister who was looking for a room
mate came to me and said.... "Sister, I hope you will find a
roommate soon, I am sorry I couldn't have you as my roommate. "The
prayer was over and everyone had left the masjid except for the 6
sisters and me. It was unbeliveable when the 6 sisters whom I had
met for the first time that night, asked me if I wanted to be their
roomate. My first question was," are you sure you want me as your
roommate? Do you all live together?" "Yes we all live together and
the 5 of us are sisters, and she is our cousin", they
responded. "What about your parents?" "They live with us, they will
not have any problems with you coming over", one of them replied. I
asked are, "you sure? Maybe you should go talk to your parents first
and then let me know by tomorrow, and by the way, how much is the
rent?" I asked. "Free", they responded, all together, we just want
you to come and live with as our sister in Islam, the four of us
have big rooms to ourselves, and the 2 of us share a room. If you
want we will let you have a room by yourself and two of us can
share. That was so sweet of her but Hmmm.... I was totally confused
with what these sisters were saying, here they were asking me to go
live with them for free, they have never met me before. They have
not consulted their parents. I decided to tell them that I was a
convert and cannot read Arabic..as if that would change their minds.
When I said I can not read Arabic, one of them said, "Al-hamdulilah,
we all can read Arabic we will teach you how to read."

The sisters could not let me go even though their dad was waiting
for them, in the parking lot. I decided to "wrap" up the
conversation and let them go. Seeing that they were not going to
leave me alone, I started telling them how I converted to Islam. I
told them that I was a lonely sister and hardly knew any one.

That same night they called from the masjid and made me talk to
their mother. She was so happy and she asked me to come over with
them. For the first time in my life as a Muslimah, I
felt "important", I realized that they were some Muslims who
recognized me as a human being. MashaAllah the mother was insisting
that I should come over with her daughters. For some reasons I did
not want to go to their house that night, so I started making some
excuses... Oh, I don't have any extra clothes with me, I don't have
an extra hijab. For every exuse I made, the sisters gave me an
answer. They were mashaAllah amazing sisters.

There I was within the house. After chatting with them for some
hours, I told them that I needed to hand wash my hijab for the next
day. "We have some new ones", said one of the sisters.... they all
went into their closets and grabbed whatever they had. 10 minutes
later, I was rich with 10 newhijabs, 4 jilbabs, 3 jalabiyas, 3
abayas and 1 niqab. For 2 1/2 years, I only had 3 hijabs....on this
particular night, I had 10 new ones. What a blessing!!!!! It was
around 12.30 A.m and none of us had gone to bed. We read Qur'an for
2-3 hours. Before we went to bed, one of them asked me if I was
aware of SISTERS NET. I told them that I have been subscribing to
sisnet for a year now but have never posted anything. The other one
said, "we are members of sisnet but are set to no mail at the moment
because of Ramadan." And what is your name?" I asked. "I am
Ni'maat", she responded. I can't describe the happiness I felt !!! I
hugged them again for the second time. Tears were rolling down my
cheeks. I was extremely happy. Happier than I have ever felt before.
Happy that I was meeting a sister from the net.

For two weeks now, I am living with Ni'maat's family. This is a
memory that will last for ever. MashaAllah! What a wonderful family
and was true Muslims they are! In two weeks I have memorized 4
surahs in Arabic. I think this is a very big improvement on my part.
In 2 1/2 years I had memorized ONLY 4-5 surah. In only 2 weeks in
this house, I have memorized 4 more surahs. Al-hamdulilah.

I have no idea why I am telling you this but... I want you sisters
to know that having `sabr' is a very important thing. Be patient and
Allah will reward you in ways you have never imagined. Personally, I
have lost a big friend (my dad) but Islam is what I want, this have
gained. My mother is not having a hard time with me as a Muslim.
With years going by, she has learned to respect me and love me more.
InshaAllah she too will take Shahadah one day. I called her two
weeks ago and told her that I am now living with a Muslim family.
All she said was "May God bless your new family, they sound like
wonderful people."

I know by converting to Islam, I have hurt her. But she will remain
a dear mother to me. I will still be her "honey" She will still be
my mother who fought infertility for two years before she had me. A
mother who was not able to have any more children after me. I am
sure she did not lose me as my father puts it. My mother's heart
is "half" way open to Islam but she is scared of my dad. InshaAllah
she will be guided by Allah. I am planning to invite her over to
this house next month when my father leaves for Australia for two
weeks. Please pray that she will accept my invitation. I want her to
see this family which is a very good example of a Muslim family.

I want her to see and know that Muslims are not people to be feared.
I want her to "trash" her image and sterotype of what Muslim people
are. Please, sisters, remember me and my parents in your prayers.
SISTERS PLEASE INVITE PEOPLE OVER TO YOUR HOUSES IF YOU HAVE A
CHANCE. LOVE ALL PEOPLE THE SAME. Don't be rude and disrespectful.
We are all sisters in Islam.

In spite of his being a Prophet, Muhammad was a very
pleasant light-hearted person. Despite all the severity and
seriousness of his function, his company was neither dull
nor uninteresting, but was full of pleasant and delightful
humor. He often joked with his Companions and laughed
with them. `Abdullah ibn Al-Harith ibn Jaz said that he had
seen no one more pleasant and smiling than Muhammad.
It is reported by Abu Hurayrah that Muhammad used to mix
with them on familiar terms, even to the extent of enjoying
light jokes and witticisms with them. Some Companions asked
him, "Allah's Messenger! Do you make jokes with us?" He
replied, "I speak nothing but the Truth." (For his jokes did not
consist of false stories.)

Anas reported that the Prophet often joked and laughed with
them. He reported that once a man asked Muhammad for an
animal to ride. He replied that he would give him the baby of
a she-camel to ride on. The man asked what would he do with
a she-camel baby. Muhammad replied, "Is there any camel
which is not born of a she-camel?"

He also reported that once the Prophet addressed him as, "O you
with two ears," (meaning very obedient). ted by was emigrating to Me
Anas also said that an old woman came to see the Prophet and asked
him to pray for her that she might go to Paradise. He replied, "No old
woman will enter Paradise!" She was very grieved and began crying.
Muhammad told his Companions to tell her that the old woman would
go to Paradise but as a young girl.

`Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja`i reported that during expedition of
Tabuk, he went to Allah's Messenger while he was sitting in a small
tent and gave a salutation. He replied to it and said, "Come in." I
replied, "The whole of me, Allah's Messenger?" He replied,
"The whole of you," so I went in.

Jarir ibn Samurah said that the Prophet always welcomed him
from the time he became a Muslim and that he never saw him
without a smile.

Some of the Prophet's light-hearted remarks took the form of
nicknames for his Companions. Once `Ali was sleeping on the
ground and was covered with dust. Muhammad happened to pass that
way and said to him, "Get up, Abu at-Turab (father of dust)." After that,
this became his nickname. Once Abu Hurayrah was playing
with a cat when Muhammad came along and said, "Abu Hurayrah (father
of a kitty)." This nickname was so dear to him that it became his
usual name so that very few people know his real name.

Anas said that a man from the desert called Zahir ibn Harun
used to bring presents to the Prophet from the desert and Allah's
Messenger would prepare for him what he needed when he intended to
depart. The Prophet used to say that Zahir was his desert man and he was
his town man. The Prophet liked him though he was ugly. One day the
Prophet went up to him when he was selling his goods and embraced
him from behind. Zahir could not see who it was, so he said, "Let me go,
who is this?" But when he turned round and saw the Prophet, he
kept his back close against the Prophet's chest. Then the Prophet
began to say, "Who will buy a slave?" He said, "O Allah's Messenger! By
Allah, you will find me to be worthless goods." The Prophet replied,
"But in Allah's Sight you are not worthless goods."

With his pleasant ways and moderate joking, the Prophet
showed us that Islam does not have to make us dull and disagreeable

Muhammad Rasulullah saw - Nabi yang ditunggu oleh org Hindu?

New Delhi, India

Seorang professor bahasa dari Alahabad University India dalam salah satu buku terakhirnya berjudul "Kalky Autar" (Petunjuk Yang Maha Agung) yang baru diterbitkan memuatkan sebuah kenyataan yang sangat mengejutkan kalangan intelektual Hindu.

Professor secara terbuka dan dengan alasan-alasan ilmiah, mengajak para penganut Hindu untuk segera memeluk agama Islam dan sekaligus mengimani risalah yang dibawa oleh Rasulullah saw karena menurutnnya, sebenarnya Muhammad Rasulullah saw adalah sosok yang dinanti-nantikan sebagai sosok pembaharu spiritual.

Prof. Waid Barkash (penulis buku) yang masih berstatus pendeta besar kaum Brahmana mengatakan bahwa ia telah menyerahkan hasil kajiannya kepada lapan pendeta besar kaum Hindu dan mereka semuanya menyetujui kesimpulan dan ajakan yang telah dinyatakan di dalam buku. semua kriteria yang disebutkan dalam buku suci kaum Hindu (Wedha) tentang ciri-ciri "Kalky Autar" sama dengan ciri-ciri yang dimiliki oleh Rasulullah Saw.

Dalam ajaran Hindu disebutkan mengenai ciri Kalky Autar diantaranya, bahwa dia akan dilahirkan di jazirah, bapaknya bernama "Syanuyihkat" dan ibunya bernama "Sumaneb". Dalam bahasa Sansekerta kata "Syanuyihkat" adalah paduan dua kata yaitu "Syanu" artinya "Allah" sedangkan "Yahkat" artinya anak laki atau hamba yang dalam bahasa Arab disebut "Abdun".

Dengan demikian kata Syanuyihkat artinya "Abdullah". Demikian juga kata "Sumaneb" yang dalam bahasa Sansekerta artinya "Amana" atau "Amaan" yang terjemahan bahasa Arabnya "Aminah". Sementara semua orang tahu bahwa nama bapa Rasulullah Saw adalah Abdullah dan nama ibunya Aminah.

Dalam kitab Wedha juga disebutkan bahwa Tuhan akan mengirim utusan-Nya kedalam sebuah gua untuk mengajarkan Kalky Autar (Petunjuk Yang Maha Agung). Cerita yang disebut dalam kitab Wedha ini mengingatkan akan kejadian di Gua Hirak saat Rasulullah saw didatangi malaikat Jibril untuk mengajarkan kepadanya wahyu tentang Islam.

Bukti lain yang dikemukakan oleh Prof Barkash bahwa kitab Wedha juga menceritakan bahwa Tuhan akan memberikan Kalky Autar seekor kuda yang larinya sangat cepat yang membawa kalky Autar mengelilingi tujuh lapis langit. Ini merupakan isyarat langsung kejadian Isra' Mi'raj dimana Rasullah saw mengenderai Buroq.
