"Tok Anjang, how could the demolished town can be ramped up again?" I'm asking Tok Anjang after he mentioned that the city of Jerusalem was totally demolished by Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon.

Historically, that city was established by King Solomon, the messenger. He ruled his government, not only human but also the genies. Solomon who inherited the messenger's characteristics of his father, Prophet David (peace upon him) is able to govern the winds by ALLAH will. They were also many military, engineering and architecture advancements during those days.

After Solomon died, the son of Israel forgotten the book, they disobeyed about what the Torah said. Then, the King of Babylon from Iraq invaded the Jerusalem, kill peoples and demolished everything, as well burned the Torah. The city became as a barren city, everything is burnt and destroyed, as quoted in the Quran.

"You know why?" Asked Tok Anjang to me.
"Because the masses of Israel had forgotten about Allah and his messenger for a long-time. Nebuchadnezzar also wants to make the Babylon City and his Kingdom more powerful than Jurusalem," Tok Anjang described to me the factors that implies the Jerusalem being captured and invaded by Nebuchadnezzar. Tok Anjang then took a cup of coffee and he drink it.

"Nowadays, the Jurusalem was invaded by the Jews. So many damaged had been made by them. "

"In the end of day, the Masjidil Aqsa be the place that the Messiah will kill the Anti-Christ," Tok Anjang describing about one of the major signs of end of the day. The coming of Messiah (Imam al Mahdi), the promised person.

"Tok, how could the barren city will be ramped again?" I'm asking Tok Anjang after he took a coffee and biscuit. In outside, the winds flows beautifully. I do hope that the rain will not come.

"You have to remember, what Allah said in the Quran," Innallaha 'ala kullisyain qadir," Tok Anjang told me.

"Indeed."

"You probably already know that. One of the pious worshipper is born after two hundred years after Solomon (peace upon him). He was the choosen one. He is the messenger sent to the son of Israel. His story was recorded in Surah al-Baqarah and Surah at-Taubah. Do you know him?" asked Tok Anjang. Salmi is also hearing what Tok Anjang said, carefully.

"The prophet Uzair (peace upon him)," told Salmi. She took the dish and move away to the kitchen.

"Yes, I know him."

"He was one of the four persons, who memorized the Torah. During that time, nobody memorized the Torah, as many al-Hafiz who memorized the Quran, today," I'm replying what been asking by Tok Anjang. He looks satisfy with my arguments.

"Prophet Uzair is also mentioned in the Bible,as Ezra," I added.

"Don't you use that name anywhere else! As a Muslim we should regonized him as Prophet Uzair," suggest Tok Anjang. I agree with him.

"I believe that many places in Kelantan that have been damaged by the devastating floods will be rebuild by Allah wish. We can get the ibrah from the demolished city of Acheh, after the tsunami 2004. It also along with what mentioned in the barren city of Jurusalem in the story of Prophet Uzair," I stand my believe and relate it with the current situation of floods and its aftermath.

***

"Prophet Uzair is chosen by ALLAH to rebuild the city," Tok Anjang told me.

"Uzair rode his donkey and headed to Jurusalem."

"With a basket containing grapes and figs together with a few loaves of bread, he rode."

"When he arrived he found that it is only an empty desert town that has been abandoned for a long time."

"After a long day of hard work, Uzair climb a cave to take a rest. He was very very tired. He looked down at Jurusalem and keep questioning himself 'will Allah give life to this town after its death?'."

"He then slept, beside him were his grapes, figs and bread as well as tided donkey. Allah, The almighty shows his Qadar to Uzair and gave him an answer about his doubt."

"He was slept for hundred years. He woke up after hundred years."

Tok Anjang kemudian membacakan potongan ayat suci al-Quran dari sebuah kitab tafsir yang berada pada tangannya. Dia kemudiannya membetulkan kedudukan dengan meletakkan sebiji bantal kekabu di antara tiang dan badannya, supaya lebih selesa. ‘Allah s.w.t berfirman yang bermaksud

"Atau apakah (kamu tidak memperhatikan) orang yang melalui suatu negeri yang (temboknya) telah roboh menutupi atapnya. Dia berkata: 'Bagaimana Allah menghidupkan kembali negeri ini setelah hancur?', maka Allah mematikan orang itu seratus tahun, kemudian menghidupkannya kembali. Allah bertanya: 'Berapa lama kamu tinggal di sini ?' Ia menjawab: 'Saya tinggal di sini sehari atau setengah hari.' Allah berfirman: 'Sebenarnya kamu tinggal di sini selama seratus tahun lamanya; lihatlah kepada makanan dan minumanmu yang belum berubah; dan lihatlah kepada keledaimu itu (yang telah menjadi tulang-belulang): Kami akan menjadikan kamu tanda kekuasaan Kami bagi manusia; dan lihatlah kepada tulang- belulang keldai itu, kemudian Kami menyusunnya kembali, kemudian Kami membalutnya dengan daging.' Maka tatkala telah nyata kepadanya (bagaimana Allah menghidupkan yang telah mati) dia pun berkata: 'Saya yakin bahawa Allah Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu.'" (al-Baqarah: 259)

"Jadi tidaklah mustahil untuk membangunkan semula Baitul Muqadis yang telah binasa. Sekarang pun sudah banyak kerosakan yang telah berlaku pada Bangunan Masjid Baitul Muqaddis. Ini semua adalah kerja tangan Yahudi," aku bersetuju dengan apa yang katakan oleh Tok Anjang.

"Allah mengutuskan Malaikat untuk menghidupkan semula Nabi Uzair yang tidur selama 100 tahun di dalam gua?" soalku kepada Tok Anjang.

"Mengapa tempoh seratus tahun. Mengapa tidak sepuluh atau dua puluh tahun?" soalku. Salmi yang datang dan duduk di atas sofa berdekatan tempat di mana Tok Anjang duduk bersandar, kemudian mencelah.

"Tentu ada hikmahnya Allah S.W.T menidurkan Nabi Uzair selama seratus tahun."

"Benar!"

"Tempoh seratus tahun adalah tempoh yang tepat. Pemuda-pemuda Ashabul Khafi telah ditidurkan di dalam sebuah gua dalam tempoh 300 tahun, iaitu tiga kali ganda dari tempoh Nabi Uzair dimatikan, dan kemudian dihidupkan semula."

"Ulama berpendapat bahawa mukjizat Nabi Uzair adalah dimatikan dan kemudiannya dihidupkan kembali untuk mendapat jawapan atas persoalannya. Tiada Nabi yang dimatikan kemudian dihidupkan semula," ujar Tok Anjang.

"Tapi mengapa seratus tahun?"

"Tiada yang mustahil bagi Allah S.W.T," jawab Tok Anjang.

“Tempoh seratus tahun disepakati oleh cerdik pandai termasuk para ulama bahawa tempoh di mana berlakunya perubahan dari segi pemikiran dan kemajuan. Pada setiap seratus tahun atau satu abad, akan lahir seorang tokoh yang membawa perubahan kepada duniasecara keseluruhannya, yang disebut sebagai Mujaddid, “ bingkas Tok Anjang memberi jawapan.

"Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. katanya bahawa Rasulullah bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Allah mengu­tus pada umat ini di setiap awal 100 tahun seorang (mujad­did) yang akan memperbaharui urusan agama mereka.” (Ri­wayat Abu Daud).

"Tokoh pembaharuan."

“Ya Tok, kajian pemikiran moden juga mendapati bahawa pemikiran baru lahir setiap seratus tahun. Aliran komunis dan kapitalis diganti dengan aliran pemikiran baru, selepas seratus tahun selepasnya.” Salmi turut memberi pandangannya.

"Siapakah yang disebut dalam Sejarah Islam sebagai tokoh pembaharuan bagi seratus tahun pertama, tahun Hijrah?" kali ini Salmi pula bertanya kepadaku.
