Qarun Jutawan yang Sesat
salam,
salah satu alkisahnyer..
:tea:
[quote]Diceritakan ketika pada zaman Nabi Musa as. situasi kehidupan manusia pada masa itu nampak semakin kacau, telah ramai orang yang meninggalkan ajaran Nabi Musa. Mereka hanya menghendaki harta kekayaan dan mengejar kesenangan hidup di dunia, sehingga di antara mereka berlumba-lumba mencari harta kekayaan sebanyak-banyaknya dengan berbagai macam cara yang mereka tempuh.
Dengan keadaan demikian, ramai orang yang terjerumus ke jurang kesesatan. Kejahatan timbul di mana-mana, pembunuhan, perompakan, penganiayaan dan lain sebagainya perbuatan keji bermaharajalela tumbuh subur bagaikan cendawan. Yang kaya tambah kaya dan yang miskin semakin tertindas oleh para lintah darat. Sehingga perbezaan antara si kaya dan si miskin semakin ketara.
Pada masa itu ada seorang umat Nabi Musa as yang bernama Qarun. Ia adalah orang yang membuat kehancuran umat Nabi Musa, sehingga pada masa itu orang-orang menjadi iri hati terhadap kehidupan Qarun yang hidup senang, mewah dengan harta kekayaan yang melimpah. Sampai akhirnya perbuatan Qarun yang derhaka ini berani memburuk-burukkan Nabi Musa dan berusaha menjatuhkan Nabi Musa, di depan orang ramai.
Qarun berkata: "Kalau memang Musa sebagai nabi utusan Allah, tentu ia akan dapat mengatasi keadaan semacam ini, dan kalau dia sebagai kekasih Allah mengapa tidak meminta kepada Allah agar umatnya menjadi kaya seperti aku. Kalau begitu dia hanyalah seorang pembohong belaka."
Dengan ucapan si Qarun ini akhirnya ramai orang yang tidak percaya kepada Nabi Musa dan mengikuti kepada si Qarun agar dia dapat menjadi kaya.
Akan tetapi ramai pula umat Nabi Musa yang terus selalu berusaha menasihati si Qarun agar jangan sombong dan derhaka. Akan tetapi usaha mereka itu sia-sia belaka. Nasihat yang pernah diberikan kepada si Qarun ialah:
"Hai Qarun, janganlah engkau terlalu gembira dan sombong dengan hartamu yang banyak itu. Dan kami tidak pula melarangmu demikian, tetapi kami hanya menasihati agar kamu mencari harta itu dengan jalan halal dan gunakan hartamu itu di jalan yang baik, tolonglah mereka yang miskin dengan sebahagian hartamu seperti Allah telah berbuat baik kepadamu, dengan demikian Allah akan menambah hartamu itu berkat rahmat-Nya."
Jawab si Qarun: "Aku tidak perlu akan nasihat kalian, tanpa nasihat kamu pun aku dapat hidup senang, kaya, akal saya lebih pandai daripada kamu. Oleh kerana itu sayalah yang lebih berhak menasihati kalian."
Dengan hati yang kecewa mereka pulang meninggalkan si Qarun, mereka memberitahukan hal itu kepada Nabi Musa. Mendengar laporan itu, Nabi Musa merasa sedih hatinya, ia berkata: "Ya Allah, dosa apakah yang aku perbuat hingga Engkau turunkan seksa dan cubaan padaku. Ya Allah, tuntunlah aku dan kuatkanlah hatiku untuk membina hamba-Mu yang telah berpaling dari ajaranku, sehingga mereka melupakan Engkau."
Demikianlah keluhan Nabi Musa as yang disampaikan kepada Allah. Selang beberapa hari, turunlah ayat Allah iaitu perintah untuk mengeluarkan zakat atas orang-orang yang kaya atau mampu yang kemudian hasilnya dibahagikan kepada fakir miskin atau kepada orang yang kekurangan.
Kemudian Nabi Musa memanggil para pengikutnya yang setia lalu ia berkata: "Beritahukanlah kepada mereka, bahawa Allah telah memerintahkan zakat kepada orang-orang yang mampu atau kaya yang mempunyai harta yang lebih."
Dengan telah tersiarnya perintah ini, bagi hamba Allah SWT yang beriman mereka segera menunaikan kewajipan zakat dan dikumpulkan oleh Nabi Musa untuk dibahagikan kepada fakir miskin. Akan tetapi bagi mereka yang ingkar, ia menolak perintah ini sehingga ramai orang yang berkata: "Mengapa aku harus mengeluarkan sebahagian hartaku."
Juga berkata yang lainnya: "Mengapa hartaku harus dibahagikan kepada fakir miskin sedangkan aku memperolehinya dengan susah payah."
Maka ucapan mereka itu kemudian dijawab oleh pengikut Nabi Musa yang setia: "Harta yang engkau keluarkan itu adalah untuk menjaga hartamu dan menolong orang yang kekurangan, agar mereka tidak tersesat dan mengganggu harta kalian."
Termasuk dalam hal ini si Qarun yang enggan untuk mengeluarkan sebahagian hartanya, sehingga diperingatkan oleh Nabi Musa dengan marah: "Hai Qarun, keluarkanlah zakatmu. Itu adalah perintah Allah, juga aku sampaikan kepadamu bahawa Allah telah menetapkan aku sebagai Nabi dan Rasulmu."
Jawab si Qarun: "Hai Musa berapa upahmu yang engkau peroleh atas pekerjaanmu itu? Dulu engkau terangkan tentang agama baru, kini engkau perintah untuk zakat. Sungguh engkau telah pandai membohongi aku."
Jawab Nabi Musa: "Aku tidak memaksamu! tapi ingatlah bahawa seksamu amat pedih nanti di akhirat."
Kemudian Qarun menjawab: 揗asalah zakat dan harta itu urusanku dan mengapa engkau menakut-nakuti aku dengan ancaman? |

Qarun Jutawan yang Sesat
...katanyer kisah Qarun ini mengajarkan kita tentang bahaya sifat kufur, cinta dunia dan sombong sesama manusia.. apalagik pada tuhan..:victory:
Surah Al-Qasas:
Ayat 76 - Sesungguhnya Qarun adalah ia dari kaum Nabi Musa, kemudian ia berlaku sombong dan zalim terhadap mereka; dan Kami telah mengurniakannya dari berbagai jenis kekayaan yang anak-anak kuncinya menjadi beban yang sungguh berat untuk dipikul oleh sebilangan orang yang kuat sasa. (Ia berlaku sombong) ketika kaumnya berkata kepadanya: "Janganlah engkau bermegah-megah (dengan kekayaanmu), sesungguhnya Allah tidak suka kepada orang-orang yang bermegah-megah. (seperti lagakmu itu).
Ayat 79 - Kemudian Qarun keluar kepada kaumnya dengan memakai perhiasannya. (Pada saat itu) berkatalah orang-orang yang semata-mata inginkan kesenangan kehidupan dunia: "Alangkah baiknya kalau kita ada kekayaan seperti yang didapati oleh Qarun! Sesungguhnya dia adalah seorang yang bernasib baik".
Ayat 81 - Lalu Kami timbuskan dia bersama-sama dengan rumahnya di dalam tanah, maka tidaklah ia mendapat sebarang golongan yang boleh menolongnya dari azab Allah" dan ia pula tidak dapat menolong dirinya sendiri.
Pada suatu hari Qarun memanggil seorang pelacur kemudian ia diberi wang sebesar seribu dinar, dengan syarat harus mengaku di depan umum bahawa engkau telah berbuat zina dengan Musa; Maka pada suatu hari Qarun mengumpulkan orang-orang dari segala penjuru kota untuk mendengarkan ceramah atau nasihat dari Nabi Musa. Akan tetapi tujuan yang sebenarnya bahawa pertemuan itu adalah sebagai perangkap untuk menjatuhkan Nabi Musa di depan orang ramai.
Maka diundangnya Nabi Musa kemudian berbicara dan memberikan nasihat di atas mimbar, beliau berkata: "Hadirin sekalian barangsiapa di antara kamu ada yang mencuri, maka akan kupotong tangannya dan barangsiapa yang berzina akan kami rejam dia sekalipun aku sendiri yang berbuat."
Tiba-tiba Qarun berkata: "Hai Musa, jika demikian engkau sendiri yang harus direjam dan orang-orang telah menuduh engkau telah berzina dengan seorang pelacur."
Mendengar ucapan demikian Nabi Musa menjadi terkejut. Kemudian pelacur itu dipanggil berdiri di hadapan Nabi Musa, lalu Nabi Musa berkata: "Demi Allah yang telah menciptakanmu dan menciptakan langit dan bumi serta menurunkan kitab Taurat, katakanlah yang sebenarnya apa yang pernah kuperbuat terhadap dirimu."
Pelacur itu menjawab: "Wahai Nabi, engkau bersih dan bebas dari tuduhan mereka. Sesungguhnya ini adalah perbuatan Qarun untuk menjatuhkan engkau dan menuduh engkau sehingga aku diberi upah sebesar seribu dinar. Tapi aku takut kepada Allah untuk melakukan jahat itu."
Mendengar kata-kata perempuan itu, lemaslah tubuh Musa beliau menangis dan berdoa: "Ya Allah, jika benar aku ini hamba-Mu, maka tolonglah aku."
Kemudian turunlah wahyu Allah: "Hai Musa, Kami telah jadikan bumi ini tunduk pada perintahmu, maka perintahkanlah sesukamu."
Lalu Nabi Musa datang menghampiri,Qarun, memperingatkan kepadanya agar segera bertaubat dan memohon ampun kepada Allah. Akan tetapi Qarun menjawab, bahawa tidak percaya dan tidak takut kepada azab Allah. Kemudian Nabi Musa berkata dan menyeru kepada orang ramai, beliau berkata: "Hai hadirin sekalian, barangsiapa bersama Qarun maka tetaplah di tempatnya. Dan barangsiapa bersamaku hendaklah meninggalkan tempat ini."
Maka orang-orang yang beriman kepada Allah mengikuti ajaran Nabi Musa as. segera pergi meninggalkan tempat itu. Sedangkan mereka yang mengikuti si Qarun tetap tinggal di tempat itu dengan sifat kesombongannya.
Kemudian Nabi Musa as. berdoa kepada Allah sambil memukulkan tongkatnya ke atas tanah, ia berkata: "Dengan Nama Allah, hai bumi telanlah Qarun dan pengikutnya serta semua harta bendanya."
Apa yang terjadi, tiba-tiba tanah itu terbelah, Qarun dan para pengikutnya berserta semua harta bendanya terbenam ke dalam bumi. Saat itu tidaklah ada yang memberikan pertolongan baik dari para pembantu dan harta kekayaannya dan tidak seorang dari manapun yang ingin memberikan pertolongan. Demikianlah azab Allah terhadap mereka.
Melihat kejadian yang hebat itu, maka orang-orang yang hidupnya sengsara dan miskin yang mengikuti ajaran Nabi Musa sama-sama menyesali atas keinginan mereka untuk menjadi kaya seperti Qarun akhirnya ditelan bumi.
Dengan datangnya azab Allah itu, maka tamatlah riwayat Qarun yang sebelumnya ia hidup mewah, senang dengan harta yang berlimpah ruah, sehingga ia menjadi sombong dan takabur itu dengan hanya sekelip mata oleh kekuasaan Allah, ia tidaklah dapat berbuat apa-apa.

waahhhhh..harta karun..ironi besar....terhengat citer The Indiana Jones.... yesss.. di era modern ni.. masih ader sejumlah manusia yang gemar memburu harta karun.
rupa2nya.. pengetahuan manusia tentang harta karun diilham ngan kisah Qarun, hartawan yang hidup di masa Nabi Musa as dan Firaun. Kekayaan berupa emas dan perak Qarun disimpannya dalam beberapa gudang perbendaharaan. Digambarkan betapa kunci-kunci gudang sangat banyak hingga harus diangkut dengan kereta kuda...
Tapi sayangnya pesen perangai Qarun kikir dan enggan beramal..maka Tuhan pun menghukumnya. Sebuah gempa bumi menghancurkan gudang-gudang miliknya dan membenamkan seluruh kekayaannya. Sejak itu, "Harta Qarun" (karun) menjadi idiom untuk semua harta berharga yang terpendam di dalam tanah. Yesss.... truss... manusia pun gigih berlumba2 mencari harta perburuan...cam treasure hunt..
p/s: btw.... mana pegi tuan rumah niee.. |

alngkah baiknya org terjumpa, sbbnya hartanya itu terlalu byk bukan....
tp adakah org yg jumpa tu sedia dgn nikmat dunia,
err...pada aku kalau org biasa2 je yg jumpa, semestinya org tu juga akn tersesat...
sedangkan qarun ni, hidup di zaman nabi, melihat kehebatan nabi, pun boleh takbur, lupa diri,
mungkin harta tu akn di jumpai oleh org yg adil
akn membahagikan kepada kesemua org,
selagi belum sampai masanya,
harta tu tetap kat tmpt dia skang...
wallah hualam.. |

FAYOUM OASIS:
Lake Qarun
Water not moving is apparently a great attraction in Egypt, and Lake Qarun is the largest lake in the entire country, 45 metres below sea level. It is gradually developing into a resort, both with beaches, beach resorts and now also holiday houses. Early in the day, green fishing boats rest on the eerie calm lake, almost melting with the sky. Only the backdrop of the desert in the north break this unity.
Bird watchers can have nice time here, with 88 species nest around the lake, including flamingoes. Lake Qaroun was too salty for fish for a long time, until marine species were introduced in the 1970's. These include eel, mullet, sole and shrimp.
But apart from a beautiful sight or two, I believe that most foreigners can calmly leave Lake Qarun to the Egyptians themselves. The amenities here area limited, and if a lazy day on the beach is your thing, the Red Sea resorts, as well as Marsa Matruh and Alexandria has a better offer.
I remember a trip with a rowing boat here one day in 1999. Out on the lake, I discovered the true depth of the expression: "So what!"

Lake Qarun (Birket Qarun) in the Fayoum of Egypt
by Seif Kamel
Lake Qarun, located about 80 kilometers southwest of Cairo in the Egyptian Fayoum not far from the Nile Valley, is one of Egypt's most treasured natural landmarks and a resource that has helped support human culture for some 8,000 years. It is the only natural contemporary lake of any size in Middle Egypt. It is therefore rich in both natural and archaeological resources.
The History of Lake Qarun
Lake Qarun is the third largest lake in Egypt and the second most famous one after Lake Nasser in the Southern part of Egypt. It lies some 45 meters below sea level and occupies the lowest, northern section of the Fayoum depression. People in Fayoum believe that if one has not visited the lake then one has not visited the Fayoum. Within the Fayoum, it is simply referred to as the 揃erka |

However, Lane was the only one who claimed this explanation. Travelers both before and after him gave the name of the lake as Qarun. The most popular story is that the lake and the temple take their name from an individual who was suppose to have lived in the area, and who is mentioned in both the bible (Numbers 16) and the Quran (al-Qasas 76). In the bible, he appears as Korah, who rebels against Moses and is promptly punished by god, being swallowed up in the earth along with his entire family and possessions. In the Quran, he appears as a man 揺xultant in his richness |

Historical Map of Lake Qarun
This particular fairy tale almost certainly has its origin in the events of the late Roman period. Many Ptolemaic (Greek) and Roman towns were situated here. Theodelphia, Philoteris, and Dionysais are all examples of these towns. Furthermore, much of the area was cultivated until the decay of the Roman Empire, when local governmental mismanagement led to the loss of good land to the desert and the abandonment of the towns. Even recent reclamation work, which has made the southwestern shore of the lake green again, has failed to make good the huge losses of agricultural land incurred during the late Roman times. Qarun may thus have been a particularly unpopular Roman governor under whose careless rule this land was deserted, or else a fictional character epitomizing the Roman administration in general. The biblical and Quranic connections were probably added later when the similarity between the two stories was noticed.
The Modern Lake
.
The Modern Lake
The Qarun Lake today, 45 meters below sea level, has a surface area of 214 square kilometers. It has a maximum depth of just over 8 meters (west of Golden Horn Island) and a volume of 800 million cubic meters. It is 42 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide at its broadest point. About 370 million cubic meters of drainage water reach the lake annually, and as the lake level now stays fairly constant and there are no known outlets, this figure is also taken as the annual rate of evaporation. If follows that, if the water supply to the lake were cut off, it would dry up in two years.
The high rate of evaporation has led to a concentration of salts, the lake is now as saline as the seawater, with a ratio of around 34.5 parts per thousand, said to be growing at the rate of 0.4 parts per year. For comparison, sea water ranges between 34 and 37 per thousand, while Jordan抯 Dead Sea has between 300 and 330 per thousand. The water is less salty in the East and the South of the lake, where the two main canals bring in fresh water.

Large as the lake now seems, it is but a puddle compared to its former glory. It was certainly much larger in the past than it is now, but just how big and at what stages in its history are points of debate. The evidence on which the various theories are based is sometimes archaeological, sometimes historical, sometimes hydrological, and sometimes geological. Many of the locals of the Fayoum believe that the great lake and surrounding swamps were drained by the patriarch Joseph of biblical fame. The Fayoum became the land of Joseph and the canal connecting it to the Nile was Joseph抯 water or "Bahr Yousef" in Arabic.
John Ball, in his "Contributions to the Geography of Egypt published in 1938, worked out a detailed history, which has been only minimally contradicted by more recent studies. Based on Ball's account, we believe that the Fayoum Basin was first excavated by wind erosion in the early Pleistocene period, and erosion of a side-gulley of the Nile led to the breaking of the Nile floodwater through what is now the Lahun Gap 70,000 thousand years ago. The depression filled with water flowing into the lake during the low season. Afterwards, a number of level changes occurred, linked to climatic variations, changes in the level of the Nile, or shifts in the course of the Nile. Fluctuations in Neolithic times led to the success or demise of various early agriculture or fishing communities on the lake shore.
A general recession set in around the beginning of Dynastic times, so that during the Old Kingdom, the lake may have been as low as two meters below sea level and no longer in free communication with the Nile. In the 12th Dynasty, Amenemhat I, identified with the king known to the Greeks as Lamarres or Moeris, re-flooded the lake, brining its level very rapidly up to 18 meters above sea level. He did this by widening and deepening the existing channel connecting the Fayoum to the Nile, which is now known as Bahr Yousef, and by constructing a five kilometer embankment from the northern side of the Lahun Gap at al-Lahun. Once the channel was dug, the lake probably took four or five years to fill.

An initial objective in clearing the channel may have been to drain the low-lying marshes along the Western desert edge of the Nile valley, but the net result, and probably the main purpose of the mammoth scheme, was to create an overspill for Nile floodwater , thus protecting Lower (Northern) Egypt from the disaster of excessively high floods. Then, during the low season after the Nile flooded, the lake would act as a reservoir and return the water to the Nile Valley. What Amenemhat I in effect did was to reestablish the free communication between the Fayoum Lake and the river Nile.
All of the 12th Dynasty remains located in the Fayoum stand at around 18 or more meters above sea level. The lake level fluctuated seasonally, so that the colossi of Biahmu, at exactly 18 meters, sometimes stood on dry land and was sometimes surrounded by water. The capital, Shedet ( (Kiman FGaris), which stands on high land in the southeast, remained untouched by the floodwater all year, but was its land was irrigated easily by side-cannels from the main canal with no mechanical lifting required.
The lake, known by the Greeks as Lake Moeris from the Egyptian word mer wer, meaning "great lake," still stood at around the same level or even higher when Herodotus saw it in the mid-fifth century BC, and remained apparently remained that way until early Ptolemaic times. The large scale reclamation of the Fayoum accredited to Ptolemy II was actually begun under Ptolemy I. The southern section of Amenemhat I's barrage from Al Lahun to Gebel Abu Sir was dismantled, and a new barrage was built roughly from west to east, across the mouth of Lahun gap and joining the middle of the old barrage at Al Lahun. With sluices in the new barrage across the Bahr Yousef, the flow of water into the Fayoum was now strictly controlled and only water sufficient for irrigation was allowed in.

It probably took as long as 30 years to lower the level of the lake to two meters below sea level, the same level it had been during the Old Kingdom. It remained at about the same height from around 300 BC until the beginning of the Christian Period.
The Ptolemies were able to reclaim about 1,200 square kilometers of good, fertile land, and this led to an agricultural boom in the region, with large settlement programs and the founding of many new towns. Land south of the lake was basin irrigated from canals branching off from the Bahr Yusuf, while some land north of the lake was irrigated directly from the lake itself using lifting machinery.
During late antiquity many canals, including the Bahr Yousef, became badly silted up. Consequently much land was lost to the desert and the reduction of inflow caused a further fall in the level of the lake, bringing it down to 36 meters below sea level by the end of the Roman period. The salinity of the water also began to increase. By the thirteenth century, cultivation of the Northern shore of the lake had all but ceased when irrigation with lake water was no longer possible. In 1714, Lucas noted that the lake water was bitter in the west, sweet in the east. In January 1801, a Dr Martin recorded that his horses drank from the eastern end of the lake, though a day later his camels were floundering on a salt-crust at the western end. The lake at this time probably stood at around 40 meters below sea level.
Underground drainage from the lake, which acted to slow down the increase in salinity, probably stopped around 1890 when the water level came into equilibrium with the great water-sheet under the Libyan Desert at 40 meters below sea level. Salinity has increased more rapidly since that time to the extent that nearly all the original species of fresh water fish have now died out. The level of the Lake for most of the last hundred years has been carefully maintained at 45 meters below sea level.
Today, Lake Qarun is a Protected Area in Egypt, basically a national park.
