In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: 'For every news there is a fact, for everything there is an appointed term and (TIME) you will come to know.' (QS6: 67)

Firman Allah Taala: 'Tiap-tiap khabar berita mempunyai masa yang menentukannya (yang membuktikan benarnya atau dustanya); dan kamu akan mengetahuinya.' (QS6: 67)

81 Monkey 'Human Being' In Galilee . . .

28 April, this morning was our trip to Lake Galilee, a lake that left many memories for the life of the Prophet of Allah Jesus Alayhis Sallam . People here call it the Sea Of Galilee. This is because this is a big lake-like ocean.

Lake Galilee is called in Arabic as Al 'Jalil Buhairah. The Jews call it the name Kinnereth. Kinnereth name is taken from a musical prophet of God David Alayhis Sallam. This is because, if the views of the lake from the Golan hills, is like a musical instrument.

Galilee is the largest freshwater lake in Israel, with an area about 53 kilometers and has a depth of 50 meters. The lake is located at a depth of 220 meters below the land is below sea level. In the hills behind the lake is the Golan, where fighting between Muslim forces in Syria with the Jewish soldiers in the war in 1967.

We arrived at the Yigal Allon Centre at 11.00 am, a place of great boat to sail around the lake of Galilee.Complex areas such as maritime. There is a boat show almost 2000 years old were found.

These fishing boats owned here a while ago. There are also shops selling books and souvenirs. There are taverns and space museum construction history of Israel. In one corner there is a computer area with free internet available at the visitors.

After a while waiting, we were invited to board the boat. The clock at 11.25 am. This huge boat-like construction boat once used by the Prophet of Allah Jesus Alaihis Salam in his preaching series on communities of Galilee.

I and his entourage walked into the big boat. Slowly the boat starts moving. It does not use a noisy engine and runs very slowly. I looked around.

The lake is quite large. There are 27 species of fish that live in this lake. The most famous is the tilapia fish.

"Wince again, down all the time, we'll go eat tilapia fish. It was fresh and tasty" said Nasir on us.

With a low voice, I asked Nasir: -

"Can you eat to? Who's cooking?"

"Oo... Do not worry, we will go to the restaurant of the Arabs, the Muslims are ripe," answered Nasir desire to understand my question.

Although nearly 12 o'clock noon, the lake is still shrouded in mist. From a distance, dimly, we see the Golan hills, areas that Israel conquered in the war of 1967 against the Syrian army. Lake birds fly while occasionally dipping into the water, then came with a small fish in its beak.

"Mmm, peace is the right place," whispered my heart.

"But the truth is, peace is not in place, it is located in the heart. Although a person sitting in a beautiful, if heart rungsing, no peace, too," whispered my heart again seems correct at first sight.

When we arrived right in the middle of the lake, build one boat tour guide holding the Bible. He then read the Bible stories, watched by about 20 tourists from Europe who also took a boat. Lagaknya such as teachers who taught the interpretation of the interpretation of the mosque.

They tell the story of Prophet Isa Alaihis Salam preaching to the people of Galilee.

Nasir who was sitting next to me whispered into my ear: -

"Ustaz, I will show the place where Jews were cursed to be a monkey, it happened in this place, Christians are not to tell this story"

"Ye to? Said I was interested."'ll Show ye. . . 'I added.

Boats continue to run. Bible readers have begun to stop, perhaps never read a story that has expired. Then, one of the boat driver to come forward.

"Well, today, I want to show how people are here to capture the fish" he said.

He brings serawan nets that are placed on the shoulder.

"If we can fish these days, we will eat together," he said

"Yeeah . . ." screams of tourists from Europe.

He began to stand on this big boat. Then he held the net with his left hand. The remaining nets are placed on the shoulder.

Tourists from Europe are so amazed at how it. For me, it is normal. This is because small time ago, I used to follow the people in my village to capture the fish in the river Senggarang Parit Botak, Batu Pahat Johor.

"Yeeah," he threw the net.

Several times the nets are spread, but the fish are not too sticky.

"It seems today, we can not fish. Not that, then we eat the fish back in the restaurant" said the driver of the boat.

All travelers who have laughed.

Boats continued to search Lake Galilee. As a part in northern Lake, Nasir mencuit me.

"Master, where the disobedience of the Jews is cursed to be a monkey, this place is a lot of fish. Until now, it is still a land of fish for the people here" Nasir point fingers to one side at the end of the lake.

I watched this place. I remembered the story that is mentioned in Surah Al-raf Al'Quran section 163-166.

In the Name of Allah. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient. (A'raf ayat 163)

Firman Allah Taala: Dan bertanyalah kepada mereka (wahai Muhammad) mengenai (penduduk) bandar yang letaknya di tepi laut, semasa mereka melanggar larangan pada hari Sabtu, ketika datang kepada mereka pada hari Sabtu itu ikan-ikan (yang menjadi cubaan kepada) mereka, yang kelihatan timbul di muka air; sedang pada hari-hari lain, ikan-ikan itu tidak pula datang kepada mereka. Demikianlah kami menguji mereka (dengan cubaan itu) kerana mereka sentiasa berlaku fasik. (A'raf ayat 163)

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they (the advisors) said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him." (A'raf ayat 164)

Firman Allah Taala: Dan (ingatlah) ketika segolongan di antara mereka berkata: "Mengapa kamu menasihati kaum yang Allah akan membinasakan mereka atau mengazabkan mereka dengan azab yang amat berat?" Orang-orang (yang memberi nasihat) itu menjawab: "(Nasihat itu ialah) untuk melepaskan diri dari bersalah kepada Tuhan kamu, dan supaya mereka bertaqwa". (A'raf ayat 164)

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying. (A'raf ayat 165)

Firman Allah Taala: Maka ketika mereka melupakan (tidak menghiraukan) apa yang telah diperingatkan kepada mereka, Kami selamatkan orang-orang yang melarang daripada perbuatan jahat itu, dan Kami timpakan orang-orang yang zalim dengan azab seksa yang amat berat, disebabkan mereka berlaku fasik (derhaka). (A'raf ayat 165)

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised." (A'raf ayat 166)

Firman Allah Taala: Maka setelah mereka berlaku sombong takbur (tidak mengambil indah) kepada apa yang telah dilarang mereka melakukannya, Kami katakan kepada mereka: "Jadilah kamu kera yang hina". (A'raf ayat 166)

Such is the recompense of those who disbelieve in Allah. They have turned into monkeys.

For turning the story of al-Quran belitkan this, Darwin invited people all think that we are the monkeys. This statement is contrary to religious teachings. Man is a noble and created by God from the land selected in the creation of Prophet Adam Alayhis Sallam. Jews who speak only people who had turned into a monkey. Not all humans.

As an instructive example, what is being taught by God we must obey. If not, we would just like animals that live without guidance. The difference, the Jews had changed their shape into the monkeys while away, now many more despicable behavior of monkeys. Only the face is still only human form.

Therefore, let us together to improve themselves to become true human beings known as humans. For, we are secure in the world and the hereafter. A visit to the lake of Galilee to the realization that, without faith, people will be like animals.
