GRAVE..THE LAST PLACE TO LIVE AND SHELTER
Di masa itu hendaklah kamu menjawab soalan-soalan mereka dengan cermat dan sehabis-habis terang, tepat dan betul.Janganlah berasa gementar, janganlah cuak dan janganlah bergopoh-gapah, biarlah tenang dan berhati-hati.Hendaklah kamu jawab begini:Allah Taala Tuhanku,Muhammad nabiku,Islam agamaku,kitab suci Al-Quran ikutanku,Baitullah itu qiblatku, malahan solah lima waktu, puasa di bulan Ramadhan,mengeluarkan zakat dan mengerjakan haji diwajibkan ke atas aku.Semua orang Islam dan orang yang beriman adalah saudara aku, bahkan dari masa hidup hingga aku mati aku mengucap: "La ila ha illallah Muhammad dur rasulullah".
Wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA tetapkanlah hatimu, inilah dia suatu dugaan yang paling besar. Ingatlah bahawa kamu sekarang sedang tinggal di dalam alam Barzakh, sehingga sampai satu masa kelak, kamu akan dibangunkan semula untuk berkumpul di Padang Mahsyar.
Insaflah wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, bahawasanya mati ini adalah benar, soalan malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir di dalam kubur ini adalah benar,bangun dari kubur kemudian kita dihidupkan semula adalah benar, berkumpul dan berhimpun di Padang Mahsyar adalah benar, dihisab dan dikira segala amalan kamu adalah benar, minum di kolam air nabi adalah benar, ada syurga dan neraka adalah benar.
Bahawa senya hari Kiamat tetap akan adanya, begitu juga Tuhan yang maha berkuasa akan membangkitkan semula orang-orang yang di dalam kubur.Di akhirnya kami ucapkan selamat berpisah dan selamat tinggal kamu disisi Allah Taala.Semoga Tuhan akan memberi sejahtera kepada kamu. Tuhan jua yang menetapkan hati kamu. Kami sekalian berdoa mudah-mudahan Allah Taala menjinakkan hati kamu yang liar, dan Allah menaruh belas kasihan kepada kamu yang berdagang seorang diri di dalam kubur ini.Mudah-mudahan Tuhan akan memberi keampunan dan memaafkan kesalahan kamu serta menerima segala amal kebajikan kamu.Ya Allah Ya Tuhan, kami merayu dan bermohon kepada Mu supaya tidak disiksa mayat ini dengan kemegahan penghulu kami Muhammad SAW.
Subhana rabbika rabbil izati amma ya sifun wassallamu alalmursalinwalham dulillahi rabbil alamin.Setiap yang bernafas, Pasti akan Mati - "Kullu nafsin za iqatul maut"

THE END OF THE THE WORLD!!
Turunnya Nabi Isa Dari Langit;-
Dari Jabir bin Abdullah r.a. bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: Sentiasa ada golongan dari umatku yang berjuang membela kebenaran sehingga Hari Kiamat. Pada ketika itu Nabi Isa akan turun. Berkatalah pemimpin mereka kepada Nabi Isa: “Dipersilakan tuan mengimami kami bersolat!” Nabi Isa a.s, menjawab: “Tidak! Kerana antara kamu sekalian saling pimpin-memimpin sebagai kehormatan dari Allah kepada umat ini.”;-
(Riwayat Muslim).
Isa a.s. memburu Dajjal;-
Daripada Urwah bin Mas'ud Ats Tsaqafi berkata, "Saya mendengar Abdullah bin Amr berkata bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Dajjal itu akan keluar dari kalangan umatku, kemudian ia menetap selama empat puluh 40. Yang meriwayatkan hadis ini berkata: "Saya tidak mengerti apakah yang dimaksudkan itu empat puluh 40 hari atau empat puluh 40 bulan atau empat puluh 40 tahun..." Selanjutnya baginda bersabda: "Allah mengutus Isa mencari Dajjal itu kemudian membinasakannya. Setelah itu manusia menetap seperti biasa selama tujuh 7 tahun. Tidak ada pertengkaran antara dua 2 orang (pada waktu itu umat manusia hidup dalam kerukunan;-

AR-RAQIM..WHAT DOES IT MEAN????
I GOT A BEATIFUL STORY BASED ON AL-QURAN..I LOVE TO SHARE THE STORY BECAUSE IT GOT SOMETHING THAT CONNECTED WITH BUILDING-A CAVE-
Allah consoles Muhammad for his grief over the unbelievers’ obstinacy (v. 6), and reminds him that the attractions of this life are merely a test (v. 7).
Then verses 9-26 tell the story of the “companions of the Cave and of the Inscription” (Al-Kahf and Ar-Raqim, v. 9). Al-Kahf is the cave in which the young men slept for 300 or 309 years (v. 25, with the difference being the discrepancy between the solar and lunar calendars), miraculously protected by Allah. There is no agreement on the meaning of Al-Raqim; some say it refers to a nearby valley or mountain, while Anas and Sha‘bi contend it was the name of their dog, who was with them and is mentioned in verses 18 and 22. Sa‘id bin Jubayr said it was “a tablet of stone on which they wrote the story of the people of the Cave, then they placed it at the entrance to the Cave” – hence, “the Inscription.”
These were, according to Ibn Kathir, “boys or young men” who were “more accepting of the truth and more guided than the elders who had become stubbornly set in their ways and clung to the religion of falsehood.” They acknowledge the oneness of Allah and reject the idols of their people; Allah protects them from the idolaters by sheltering them in the cave (vv. 14-16).
Although the young men remained in the cave for three centuries, when they were asked how long they had been there, they answered: “We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day” (v. 19). Allah “turned them on their right and on their left sides” (v. 18) – presumably to preserve their bodies from decay while they slept, for, says Ibn Abbas, “If they did not turn over, the earth would have consumed them.” Their dog, meanwhile, was “stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold” (v. 18) – in other words, he wasn’t precisely inside the cave, so that he wouldn’t keep angels from entering it. “He was sitting outside the door,” explains Ibn Kathir, “because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog, as was reported in As-Sahih, nor do they enter a house in which there is an image, a person in a state of ritual impurity or a disbeliever, as was narrated in the Hasan Hadith.” Bukhari records that tradition, in which Muhammad says: “Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature.” Nevertheless, continues Ibn Kathir: “The blessing they enjoyed extended to their dog, so the sleep that overtook them overtook him too. This is the benefit of accompanying good people, and so this dog attained fame and stature. It was said that he was the hunting dog of one of the people which is the more appropriate view, or that he was the dog of the king’s cook, who shared their religious views, and brought his dog with him.”
I JUST COPY A SHORT PARAGRAPH BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE U ALL THAT BUILDING HAD EXISTS SINCE THE CENTURY OF OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD WHICH MEANS THAT A CAVE IS THE FIRST BUILDING THAT GAVE SHELTERED TO PEOPLE IN OLDEN TIMES..

Theory in architecture?what is it?
I THINK,ARCHITECTURE BASICALLY NOT DEPENDS ON AN EARLY THEORY FOR IT TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL CARIER NOWADAYS..
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
John Keats, Ode to a Grecian Urn
The role of architecture is ... to make utilitarian structures. Beauty can be added to it, but at
this point it becomes similar to other visual arts - you may see a building as beautiful
as a painting, but that doesn't make the building in itself a piece of art! It is not the building as such which is artistic, but some aspects of its form.
As Tom Wolfe points out so hilariously in The Painted Word, in much modern 'art' the theory itself is the art - the so-called artworks themselves are distinctly secondary. Torres and Kamhi fall into this trap by discussing at length assorted theories about architecture, while forgetting that arguments about art and architecture actually require 'fieldwork' - experience and understanding of the artworks themselves and discussion about particular concrete examples. Metaphorically speaking, these theorists are like Goethe studying optics - they never leave their own armchair. Their fieldwork is undone, and their conclusions as a consequence are mistaken.Instead of a wealth of examples of architecture, theorists such as Batteau, D'Alembert, Alberti, the Kantian Roger Scruton and others are wheeled on and their weak architectural theories summarily dismissed; buildings themselves appear only as an uncomfortable and awkward intrusion and are mentioned only clumsily and in passing. The failing is not in this chapter alone, but is a common fault throughout their book. One senses that, unlike Alexandra York who seems to revel in experiencing fresh new artworks, they instead prefer to talk about art than to experience it. This fault, I submit, leads them directly to their mistaken ideas about architecture.
I TOOK THE ABOVE INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET AND AFTER I READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PARAGRAPHS I CONCLUDE THAT ARCHITECTURE IS NOT A THEORY BUT AN APPLICATION..
BUT EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION ABOUT WHAT TEORY IN ARCHITECTURE MEANS..THESE,IS WHAT I ONLY UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT..
