Penggalan berita lain yang disampaikan Al Qur’an tentang peristiwa masa depan ditemukan dalam ayat pertama Surat Ar Ruum, yang merujuk pada Kekaisaran Bizantium, wilayah timur Kekaisaran Romawi. Dalam ayat-ayat ini, disebutkan bahwa Kekaisaran Bizantium telah mengalami kekalahan besar, tetapi akan segera memperoleh kemenangan. “Alif, Lam, Mim. Telah dikalahkan bangsa Romawi, di negeri yang terdekat dan mereka sesudah dikalahkan itu akan menang, dalam beberapa tahun (lagi). Bagi Allah-lah urusan sebelum dan sesudah (mereka menang).” (Al Qur’an, 30:1-4) Ayat-ayat ini diturunkan kira-kira pada tahun 620 Masehi, hampir tujuh tahun setelah kekalahan hebat Bizantium Kristen di tangan bangsa Persia, ketika Bizantium kehilangan Yerusalem. Kemudian diriwayatkan dalam ayat ini bahwa Bizantium dalam waktu dekat menang. Padahal, Bizantium waktu itu telah menderita kekalahan sedemikian hebat hingga nampaknya mustahil baginya untuk mempertahankan keberadaannya sekalipun, apalagi merebut kemenangan kembali. Tidak hanya bangsa Persia, tapi juga bangsa Avar, Slavia, dan Lombard menjadi ancaman serius bagi Kekaisaran Bizantium. Bangsa Avar telah datang hingga mencapai dinding batas Konstantinopel. Kaisar Bizantium, Heraklius, telah memerintahkan agar emas dan perak yang ada di dalam gereja dilebur dan dijadikan uang untuk membiayai pasukan perang. Banyak gubernur memberontak melawan Kaisar Heraklius dan dan Kekaisaran tersebut berada pada titik keruntuhan. Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestina, Mesir dan Armenia, yang semula dikuasai oleh Bizantium, diserbu oleh bangsa Persia. (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society, Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.) Pendek kata, setiap orang menyangka Kekaisaran Bizantium akan runtuh. Tetapi tepat di saat seperti itu, ayat pertama Surat Ar Ruum diturunkan dan mengumumkan bahwa Bizantium akan mendapatkan kemenangan dalam beberapa+tahun lagi. Kemenangan ini tampak sedemikian mustahil sehingga kaum musyrikin Arab menjadikan ayat ini sebagai bahan cemoohan. Mereka berkeyakinan bahwa kemenangan yang diberitakan Al Qur’an takkan pernah menjadi kenyataan. Sekitar tujuh tahun setelah diturunkannya ayat pertama Surat Ar Ruum tersebut, pada Desember 627 Masehi, perang penentu antara Kekaisaran Bizantium dan Persia terjadi di Nineveh. Dan kali ini, pasukan Bizantium secara mengejutkan mengalahkan pasukan Persia. Beberapa bulan kemudian, bangsa Persia harus membuat perjanjian dengan Bizantium, yang mewajibkan mereka untuk mengembalikan wilayah yang mereka ambil dari Bizantium. (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society, Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.) Akhirnya, “kemenangan bangsa Romawi” yang diumumkan oleh Allah dalam Al Qur’an, secara ajaib menjadi kenyataan. Keajaiban lain yang diungkapkan dalam ayat ini adalah pengumuman tentang fakta geografis yang tak dapat ditemukan oleh seorangpun di masa itu. Dalam ayat ketiga Surat Ar Ruum, diberitakan bahwa Romawi telah dikalahkan di daerah paling rendah di bumi ini. Ungkapan “Adnal Ardli” dalam bahasa Arab, diartikan sebagai “tempat yang dekat” dalam banyak terjemahan. Namun ini bukanlah makna harfiah dari kalimat tersebut, tetapi lebih berupa penafsiran atasnya. Kata “Adna” dalam bahasa Arab diambil dari kata “Dani”, yang berarti “rendah” dan “Ardl” yang berarti “bumi”. Karena itu, ungkapan “Adnal Ardli” berarti “tempat paling rendah di bumi”. Yang paling menarik, tahap-tahap penting dalam peperangan antara Kekaisaran Bizantium dan Persia, ketika Bizantium dikalahkan dan kehilangan Jerusalem, benar-benar terjadi di titik paling rendah di bumi. Wilayah yang dimaksudkan ini adalah cekungan Laut Mati, yang terletak di titik pertemuan wilayah yang dimiliki oleh Syria, Palestina, dan Jordania. “Laut Mati”, terletak 395 meter di bawah permukaan laut, adalah daerah paling rendah di bumi. Ini berarti bahwa Bizantium dikalahkan di bagian paling rendah di bumi, persis seperti dikemukakan dalam ayat ini. Hal paling menarik dalam fakta ini adalah bahwa ketinggian Laut Mati hanya mampu diukur dengan teknik pengukuran modern. Sebelumnya, mustahil bagi siapapun untuk mengetahui bahwasannya ini adalah wilayah terendah di permukaan bumi. Namun, dalam Al Qur’an, daerah ini dinyatakan sebagai titik paling rendah di atas bumi. Demikianlah, ini memberikan bukti lagi bahwa Al Qur’an adalah wahyu Ilahi.

Mobile Cities: The Future of Portable Flat-Pack Tent Towns
by okesoft on 28. Jul, 2010 in Uncategorized
Prefabrication and portability keep cropping up as themes in contemporary architecture, from emergency post-disaster housing to modular shed homes and cargo container offices. BldgBlog (and Dornob and others) now raise the question: are portable camps (military, corporate and otherwise) a precursor to a world consisting of ever-more-completely mobile cities, disposable settlements that are strategically erected overnight but might disappear the very next day? Weatherhaven , for example, is a curious company co-founded by an odd couple: an expedition organizing team and a construction company that, together, provide ” temporary shelter in remote places … a complete service including design, manufacture, packaging, transportation, and erection of buildings, all of which [are] created specifically to respond to the logistical problems of remote deployment in harsh environments.” What we are talking here goes beyond a simple camp-out, festival or ordinary tent city – forethought, planning organization on the scale of the fully-gridded Burning Man (a there-then-gone temporary annual city that rises for a week in the Nevada desert, starting again very shortly), but more even than that, which is tied to just one place each year. This is a fly-in-and-drop-off operation in which residents can move in immediately and have a fully-functioning town (water, houses, hospitals) up and running in days. And then, in the end, they can be packed up, moved or removed from the face of the planet entirely, leaving no real trace behind – no physical signs of their history or even existence. This is the ultimate commodification of the the cosmopolitan experience – whole urban centers that are easily created and as disposable as any other manufactured product of modern times. Keep Going – Check out this Great Related Dornob Design: Tent Cities in America: Unin(Tented) (Sub)Urban Centers Tent cities are an uncanny and urban design phenomena – in most cases their creation is neither officially planned nor sanctioned by a city from the outset, but in many instances cities quickly realize they have no alternative but to let them be. With recent economic troubles around the USA existing ones have grown and entirely new tent cities have been created. But what does it mean to be for… Click Here to Read More »»

Advanced Concept Cars to Drive Us in The Future

These are the photos of futuristic commuting cars designed to maximize space and ease commuting designed by different contemporary designers! The ideas of space, design and commuting are constantly being challenged with the next generation designers and engineers bringing both form and functionality together in the most spectacular of forms. Commuting across the city for work or to run errands has always been viewed in the same fashion as any other and most designers and car makers tend to ignore or overlook the specific features that it demands. Modern designers are making sure that they do not make the same mistake by designing cars that are task-oriented and target a specific consumer. The design aim of these cars is at making the travel across the city in a day a lot more convenient and a lot easier . It is all about being simple and compact rather than pompous and extravagant. That does not mean that these machines are going to go unnoticed either. Just take a look for yourself!
