Kaabah yane terletak ditengah-tengah pusat dunia ini, merupakan misteri penciptaan khazanah alam yang paling istimewa serta tidak ternilai harganya. Ianya telah dicipta sejak ribuan tahun lamanya pun begitu, masih teguh hingga ke hari ini. Salah satu keajaiban Kaabah ialah ianya tidak akan luput ditelan masa sehinggalah datangnya hari kiamat. Kaabah mewakili arah penyembahan kepada tuhan yang esa oleh semua umat Islam di seluruh dunia iaitu sebagai kiblat yang satu. Pabila musim haji banyak orang sanggup bergadai nyawa untuk mendekati kaabah seolah-oleh membuktikan ianya cukup istimewa. Menurut cerita yang sememangnya terbukti kebenarannya, Kaabah diciptakan oleh para malaikat dan seluruh makhluk hidup di alam ini termasukah binatang seperti burung dan semut.
Memang jelas ianya bukanlah ciptaan oleh manusia sepenuhnya. Buktinya ada pada salah satu penjuru sudut Kaabah di mana terdapat sejenis batu yang wangi berasal dari syurga di bawa melalui malaikat Jibril. Itulah antara satu-satunya batu ajaib yang ada di dunia ini datangnya dari alam syurga yang pastiya tidak akan ditemui di tempat lain di alam ini. Namun misteri yang menjadi persoalannya ialah apakah yang terkandung di dalam Kaabah itu? Bagaimanakah keadaan suasana di dalam Kaabah tersebut? Mengapakah ia mesti di rahsiakan? Jika difikirkan memang ada kebaikan dan hikmah disebaliknya…

SUNGAI GOLOK (Selatan Thai) 9 Jun – Kejam dan tidak berperikemanusiaan!
Mungkin itu yang dapat digambarkan tentang pembunuhan 11 jemaah ketika solat isyak di Masjid Al-Furqan di Kampung Air Tempayan, 50 kilometer dari bandar ini kira-kira pukul 8.50 malam tadi (waktu Malaysia).
Setelah melepaskan tembakan dari dua pintu masuk masjid, enam penyerang itu dikatakan masih tidak berpuas hati dan masuk ke dalam masjid sebelum melepaskan beberapa das lagi tembakan bagi memastikan jemaah terbabit benar-benar mati.
Tragedi terbaru yang menjadikan masjid sebagai sasaran, berlaku pada hari yang sama Perdana Menteri Thailand, Abhisit Vejjajiva melawat Malaysia dan memperbaharui komitmen untuk mengakhiri konflik yang berlarutan sejak 2004 di wilayah bergolak itu.
Kejadian itu menambahkan jumlah korban yang kini mencecah lebih 3,700 orang dan masyarakat Islam di wilayah itu bimbang kejadian lebih buruk akan menyusul semula dan ramai yang percaya kejadian terbaru didalangi pihak berkuasa.
Bagaimanapun sehingga kini masih belum dapat dipastikan motif sebenar pembunuhan kejam itu tetapi ada yang berpendapat berpunca daripada dendam dan pihak tentera Thai menafikan sebarang pembabitan anggota mereka.
Seorang saksi, Hassan Deraman, 17, berkata, kejadian berlaku amat pantas kira-kira lima minit di mana empat lelaki dikatakan menyerbu masuk ke dalam masjid dari arah pintu belakang manakala dua lagi dari arah tepi.
Katanya, kesemua mereka bersenjatakan rifel M-16 dan pump gun serta memakai seragam hitam serta bertopeng.
‘‘Ketika kejadian berlaku saya bersama tiga lagi rakan berada dalam wakaf kira-kira 15 meter dari pintu masuk utama masjid ini, Tiba-tiba kami mendengar bunyi tembakan yang kuat bertalu-talu.
‘‘Kami bersembunyi dan bergerak ke tempat kejadian dengan perlahan-lahan dalam gelap untuk melihat apa yang berlaku dengan lebih jelas.
‘‘Saya kemudian melihat mereka memasuki masjid ini dan melepaskan tembakan ke arah kepala serta badan jemaah yang terbaring dalam ruang solat, tembakan itu dilepaskan bagi memastikan kesemua jemaah ini benar-benar mati,” katanya ketika ditemui Utusan Malaysia di tempat kejadian.
Hassan berkata, penyerang dipercayai memasuki kawasan masjid melalui hutan dan kawasan ladang getah di bahagian belakang bagi memastikan kehadiran mereka tidak disedari.
Katanya, pembunuh kejam itu tidak memasuki masjid melalui pintu utama kerana ia diterangi dengan cahaya lampu.
‘‘Selepas bunyi tembakan hilang, beberapa orang kampung datang dan saya bersama mereka memasuki masjid melihat mayat bergelimpangan dipenuhi dengan darah.
‘‘Ketika itu, hanya dua jemaah terselamat tanpa sebarang kesan tembakan. Salah seorang daripada mereka adalah ‘tok siak’ masjid, bagaimanapun akibat terkejut dengan serangan tersebut dia pengsan kerana serangan jantung.
‘‘Seorang lagi yang terselamat adalah ahli kumpulan ‘tabligh’ yang datang berdakwah di sini, dia terselamat kerana ketika itu sedang sujud dan setelah mendengar bunyi tembakan dia meniarap dan berpura-pura mati,” katanya.
Serangan tersebut turut menyebabkan imam masjid, Wan Nasir Wan Abdullah, 62, terkorban manakala 12 parah dan dua terselamat.
Kesemua jenazah dikebumikan dalam satu liang lahad kira-kira pukul 11 pagi ini dan tinjauan Utusan Malaysia mendapati perkarangan masjid itu dipenuhi oleh kaum masyarakat Melayu Islam dari tiga daerah yang bergolak itu.
Malah ketika itu, ruang solat masjid berkenaan masih dipenuhi darah dan ia dibersihkan sepenuhnya oleh anggota tentera kira-kira pukul 5 petang ini.
Tinjauan juga mendapati dinding dalam masjid tersebut turut dipenuhi kesan tembakan dan kawalan keselamatan di kampung berkenaan ditingkatkan.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- Famed thespian William Shakespeare had once said: To be or not to be, that is the question.
The Bard's quote thus, comes to mind, in reference to whether the English language should be made a compulsory subject to pass the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Certificate.
Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin threw this question to the public to discuss, and for the government to obtain feedback.
He said he was informed that many rural students would fail the SPM if English was made a compulsory subject to pass.
"Then, I do not think it (not making English a compulsory subject to pass) serves any purpose because English is a very important language that we use in daily life," he said when officiating the setting up of the new Kirby College Alumni Association here today.

SunSport told you last week that the Spanish giants would nab the Brazil superstar, 27.
Kaka passed a medical after Madrid's doctor flew to Recife where Brazil are preparing for their match with Paraguay.
A statement from Real said: "Kaka has successfully passed all the medical tests. He has signed a six-year contract."
An AC Milan statement said: "We thank the great champion for his contribution to the many victories achieved in the past six years.
"It will be very difficult to fill the void that will be left by Kaka, a shining example of commitment and professionalism.
"We offer him the most cordial and affectionate wishes for the continuation of his sporting career."
Brazil refused permission for the player to be presented by Madrid before June 30 - when the Confederations Cup in South Africa is completed.

CARLO ANCELOTTI made a dramatic phone call to Kaka yesterday and begged: Don't join Real Madrid.
The new Chelsea manager rang the Brazilian superstar in a bid to stall his world record £62million switch from AC Milan to Madrid.
Milan sources were adamant last night that Kaka will still go to Real - and the deal will be confirmed on Monday.
But Blues owner Roman Abramovich discovered yesterday morning that Kaka's transfer was still not legally concluded.
That sparked Ancelotti's call and speculation mounted throughout the day that Chelsea had offered a staggering £73.5m for the playmaker - and were willing to pay him £17m in wages.
Chelsea issued a statement officially denying that last night - although the club did not deny the phone call from Ancelotti.
Ancelotti was Kaka's boss at Milan for six years and forged a close relationship with his star player.
A pal of Ancelotti's confirmed: "Carlo called Kaka in Brazil.
"Carlo is hopeful that Chelsea can be a tempting destination and his personal bond with the player can make a difference."
But a Milan insider last night insisted Ancelotti's pleas are too little, too late.
They said: "He is not going to Chelsea - even though Ancelotti has been asking him for some time to come with him.
"The will of the player in this case is paramount. And we know that he wants to join Real Madrid, not Chelsea. This is no longer a moving story. The announcement will come on Monday."
Milan's owner, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, was facing a backlash from Italian fans yesterday - who also revolted when Kaka, 27, nearly joined Manchester City in January.
Berlusconi, whose political party faces European elections on Sunday, promised them he would announce a decision once the voting was over.
Berlusconi even likened Kaka's transfer to Andriy Shevchenko's switch to Chelsea, saying: "I can only say that we were very attached to Sheva.
"When an offer arrived that we could not equal, because I had a great friendship with him, I did all I could to convince him - but in the end I left it up to him.
"It is always our lads who must decide where they want to play. Now we will see."
Meanwhile, Real sporting director Jorge Valdano was last night desperately trying to seal Kaka's transfer to the Bernabeu.
The player is currently on international duty with Brazil.
Halal meat in a sandwich shop. Some food manufacturers are making bulking agents out of porcine and bovine gristle and bones that help inflate chicken breasts, so that they fetch a higher price
Cafes and restaurants across Britain have been selling chicken secretly injected with beef and pork waste, The Independent can reveal today.
In a hi-tech fraud run by firms in three EU states, food manufacturers are making bulking agents out of porcine and bovine gristle and bones that help inflate chicken breasts, so that they fetch a higher price.
The swindle was only detected by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) using new scientific techniques because the non-chicken material had been so highly processed it passed standard DNA tests.
Thousands of restaurateurs and cafe owners are likely to have been conned into buying chicken containing the powder – which binds water into chicken breasts – while diners have been unwittingly consuming traces of other animals when eating out.
Britain's two million Muslims, Jews and Hindus are forbidden from eating either pork or beef. Muslims would ordinarily eat halal chicken and Jews kosher chicken sold through approved caterers and butchers.
The Hindu Forum of Britain described news of the adulteration, which will be confirmed publicly today, as "shocking and potentially very distressing". Its secretary general, Bharti Tailor, said: "Eating beef is expressly forbidden because cows are considered to be sacred as they are a representation of the bounty of the gods, even unknowingly. The fact that the protein powders injected into chickens served in restaurants and cafes contain even traces of beef or pork is horrific. And [the fact] that Hindus will have been eating beef contaminated chickens will be mentally agonising. Many will feel that they have broken their religious code of conduct."
The food regulator acknowledged the serious consequences of its findings. "Use of these proteins does not make chicken products unsafe, but it is important that people are given accurate information about their food," the FSA said.
The fraud has been taking place for at least the past two years, and still continues because of inaction by the authorities in three EU states, believed to be Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
The European Commission rebuffed British demands to ban beef and pork proteins from being added to chicken when first detected in the UK and Ireland in 2001 and 2003. Then, action was taken against a chicken company in the Netherlands and the authorities thought the problem had gone away.
When complaints began to surface again last year, the FSA launched a secret investigation to ascertain whether chicken – the most eaten meat in the UK – was being adulterated again. At first, scientists could not find any non-chicken protein because the meat had been "de-natured" (made unrecognisable). The Central Science Laboratory in York and York University developed special DNA market tests.
"It's like Olympic drug tests; they stay one step ahead of the testers," said a source close to the investigation.
Manufacturers in Germany and Spain are thought to be making the protein powders; Dutch firms inject them into chickens sold on to UK wholesalers supplying the catering trade.
Using a new DNA marker technique, the FSA tested five protein powders from three companies. All five were found to contain a non-poultry material identified as bovine collagen. Further tests found the presence of porcine material in two powders.
Tests picked up traces of beef in one of three chicken breasts.
In a report passed to The Independent, the FSA noted: "The study of a small number of injection powders used in chicken breast products has indicated the presence of undeclared, mammalian peptides, i.e., from a non-poultry source in the samples analysed. The analyses applied indicate the presence of bovine collagen in all the powders sampled and suggest the presence of porcine collagen in some of the powders."
It added: "Certification accompanying the powders claim they are produced only from a poultry source, however, the analytical results suggest this claim could not be substantiated."
Manufacturers can legally add water to chicken, for instance to improve succulence, but must declare water content of above 5 per cent. Fresh chicken meat sold by supermarkets or butchers cannot have any added ingredients. When the FSA alerted its continental counterparts, the factories involved were inspected but no legal action has been taken.
Some chicken products state on the label whether they contain hydrolised (chicken) proteins. The FSA advised consumers that they "may wish" to avoid such chicken. "If you are eating food from a restaurant or takeaway you should ask if the chicken served contains hydrolysed animal proteins," the FSA will say today. "Restaurants and catering establishments will have this information available to them."
Sue Davies, chief policy adviser at the consumer group Which?, said: "It's bad enough that when you think you're buying chicken what you're paying for is an awful lot of water and other animal proteins but if you want to avoid beef or pork for religious reasons it's going to be particularly shocking and annoying. There's a need for better enforcement action, or people will carry on doing this."
Religious views: Sacred products
Judaism
Jews are forbidden from eating pork as pigs are considered unclean animals. The Jewish dietary laws are the laws of kashrut (keeping kosher). Hence food in accord with Jewish law is termed kosher, food not in accord is treifah or treif.
Hinduism
Observant Hindus who eat meat almost always abstain from beef. The cow is sacred and beef has been forbidden in the Hindu religion and diet. Hindu society honours the cow and cow-slaughter is banned legally in almost Indian states. The largely pastoral Vedic people and subsequent generations relied heavily on it for dairy products and tilling the fields.
Islam
Muslims are prohibited from eating pork products. All meat must come from a herbivorous animal slaughtered and bled to death in the name of God by a Muslim, Jew or Christian, with the exception of game that one has hunted or fished for oneself. Food permissible for Muslims is known as halal food.
Protein problems: Contaminated chicken
2001
The Food Standards Agency finds chicken with as little as 54 per cent meat and undeclared protein. The FSA urges the Netherlands and Belgium to tackle exporters.
2003
The FSA and the Food Safety Agency of Ireland find beef and pork in Dutch chicken. The FSAI warns that the EU and the Dutch are failing to police labelling rules. The European Commission rejects a call to ban beef and pork proteins, saying the matter is "primarily an infringement of food labelling legislation".
2004-2007
No new surveys on chicken are published. Many believe the problem has gone away.
2008
FSA investigates new allegations, but pork and beef cannot be detected by conventional DNA tests as it has been "de-natured" (rendered unidentifiable from its origins).
2009
Test results are obtained by The Independent.
