Titian Langkahnya
Siapa pun akan menganggap kentut adalah tindakan yang tidak sopan dan kurang ajar. Apalagi kalau kemudian dilengkapi dengan aroma yang menyesakkan dada. Gas buang dari dalam tubuh ini memang “senjata ampuh” untuk “mengacaukan” suasana. Segala sumpah serapah dan caci maki biasanya langsung bermunculan tatkala terdengar suara kentut.
Sebagian pengunjung blog ini ada yang dari kalangan wahhabi dan ada yang dari kalangan mu’tazilah. Ada juga yang mengkafirkan orang-orang seperti saya dan ada juga yang mengkafirkan orang-orang PKS karena ikut kepada demokrasi. Masya Allah…. kami memang tak setuju dengan demokrasi, tetapi kami tak mengkafirkan ahlul qiblah. Di antara mereka ada yang mengaku sebagai pengikut salafy dan mengidolakan Ahmad Dahlan dan juga Ahmad Surkati.
Ibnu Taymiyah terlanjur dikenal sebagai mujassimah dan ajarannya yang keliru terlanjur diterima para muridnya. Padahal, di akhir hayatnya ia insyaf dari kesalahannya dan bertaubat serta kembali kepada ajaran Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Muridnya yang telah ghuluw dalam kesesatan menganggap bahwa Ibnu taymiyah telah murtad dan halal darahnya. Maka Ibnu taymiyah di bunuh oleh muridnya sendiri sebelum menyebarkan ajaran Ahlus Sunnah yang sesungguhnya.
After a month’s stay in London, I received a message from the Ministry ordering me to go to Iraq to see Muhammad of Najd again. As I was leaving for my mission, the secretary said to me, “Never be negligent about Muhammad of Najd! As it is understood from the reports sent by our spies up until now, Muhammad of Najd is a typical fool very convenient for the realization of our purposes.
I (Hempher) stayed in Baghdad for a time. Then, receiving the message ordering me to return to London, I left. In London, I talked with the secretary and some officials of the Ministry. I told them of my activities and observations during my long mission.
Hempher says:
It was on one of those days when Muhammad of Najd and I had become very intimate friends that I received a message from London ordering me to leave for the cities of Kerbelaa and Najaf, the two most popular Shiite centers of knowledge and spirituality.
When I (Hempher) arrived in Basra, I settled in a mosque. The imaam of the mosque was a Sunnite person of Arabic origin named Shaikh ‘Umar Taaee. When I met him I began to chat with him. Yet he suspected me at the very beginning and subjected me to a shower of questions.
Mr. Hempher Said:
My friends had returned to London before I did and they had already received new commands from the Ministry. I, too, was given new commands upon returning. Unfortunately, only six of us were back.
In the Hijree year 1122, C.E. 1710, the Minister of Colonies sent me to Egypt, Iraq, Hidjaz and Istanbul to act as a spy and to obtain information necessary and sufficient for the breaking up of Muslims. The Ministry appointed nine more people, full of agility and courage, for the same mission and at the same time.
Memoirs of Mr. Hempher, The British Spy to the Middle East is the title of a document that was published in series (episodes) in the German paper Spiegel and later on in a prominent French paper. A Lebanese doctor translated the document to the Arabic language and from there on it was translated to English and other languages.
