Prophet Adam and the Malays 60,000 Years Ago : Alignment of Time, Revealed Knowledge and Science

Peace be upon you. Five months ago I was asked to give a lecture at ISTAC (International Institute of Islamic Thought and Malay World), Kuala Lumpur regarding a time aligment calculation method I've made to reconcile history of mankind based on science to that based on revealed knowledge such as from the holy Al-Quran. The calculation and its implications have been explained and extended in my 11th book "Nabi Adam dan Orang Melayu 60,000 Tahun Lalu" and my 12th, "Benua Tua Melayu Sumber Peradaban Dunia", both officially published in March 2018.  While the books were written in Malay the lecture which used extracts from the books were conducted in English. Supporting it is a paperwork made in English which practically comprise selected translations from the books. 

Look at the article Syarahan "Prophet Adam and the Malays 60,000 Years Ago - Aligment of Time, Revealed Knowledge and Science" di ISTAC in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU to follow the lecture. PdF file of the paperwork have since been uploaded to an academic journal website for public consumption. But I soon found it is not as accessible as I wanted it to be.  The website seems to put certain conditions before the uploaded file could be accessed. 

In the original spirit of spreading the 'gospel' I've decided to convert the PdF to Jpg picture files. That way I could upload it to this blogspot making it accessible to all without any condition. Feel free to read and study it. Feel free to take extracts for your own writing and research. Just please do the honorable thing by giving due mention and citation.

Along the new jetty at Tanjung Sepat

Here is something from last weekend...

Me and family went back to the wife's native village at Tanjung Sepat, Selangor. The local town has a new jetty and we decided to check it out.

The jetty replaced the old one which was part concrete part wooden.

It was almost sunset.

Walking towards the end...

Looking back to mainland...

The almost sunset scene was superb.

On to the end...

The furthest point on the jetty...

Brief visit to a jungle settlement in Jenagor

Peace be upon you all. Almost 2 weeks ago me and family made a trip to Terengganu and visited a number of places. Here's a story...

Among the places visited is Jenagor near Kuala Berang. It lies at an upriver part of the Terengganu river.

We wanted to visit a settlement in the jungle...

To get there we must go further up the Terengganu river and cross to the other side.

So we took a boat...

Soon we arrived at the jetty to the settlement...

It has a surau (praying hall) and some settlement huts.

But the main attraction is a tomb said to belong to Sharif Muhammad al-Baghdadi, an Islamic preacher said to have come from the Middle East 700 years ago...

After some time its time to return to the jetty where we came from.

My boys took the opportunity to dip into the Terengganu river...

Remembering the Europe solo hitchiking trip of 1995 again

Peace be upon you this beautiful Friday. It's been a month and a half since this blogspot was updated. Let's have something nostalgic...

Two days ago I felt like looking for the notes made during my solo hitchiking trip in Europe 1995. After quite a hefty search of my stuffs and files of written materials from seminars and such thank God I found it inside an old file. It contained momentos from the trip and from my days studying in London 1991-1995. For the record I have shared some stories on the European trip in this blogspot. Look at the old articles listed below :-

1. The story begins...

2. Trouble in Amsterdam...

3. East-West contrast in Germany

4. The ugly side of Prague...

5. Playing the fool in Bratislava...

6. Getting classical (and Merdeka too) in Austria!

7. Alpine frolicking in Switzerland

8. Gangsters of Genoa...

9. Locked-up in Lyon!

10. Walking 50km in Paris before closing the trip in Brussels...

Along with the momentos were printouts of longer stories I've made after becoming a journalist at the Malaysian English daily, The New Straits Times in 1996. Using an old intra-office system I wrote with the intention of getting it published as a book with a connected outfit called Berita Publishing.

However, after having wrote what seemed like enough stories to make a book something happened to the system.

All files on the 1995 Europen trip were lost. Having tried to recover it but failed, I take it as a sign to abandon my intention to get the stories published as a book.

Thank God, I found these printouts in my old European travel file. While it covered only 10 per cent or less of the stories (I can't remember what happened to the rest of the printouts) it should give some idea of what I was working on then. 

What is certain, these are more detailed than the stories I've presented as articles listed at the start of this post. This is because the articles were for newspaper print. It had to be limited and brief as I was forced to limit 31 days of travelling stories into10 episodes, each limited to no more than 1,000 words or so... 

The printouts on the other hand were for a book. So it was not bound by such limit. For better read you can open it in new windows. Do enjoy these writings made some 12 years ago...
