Misteri: 'Isteri' balik rumah
Oleh Hazirah Che Sab
zeehan@bharian.com.my
SEJAK sekian lama, cerita misteri terutama membabitkan makhluk halus dan kehidupan orang Melayu seakan tidak boleh dipisahkan. Cerita sama tetap berupaya menarik perhatian walau diulang berkali-kali dengan sedikit tokok tambah. Makhluk halus memang ada dan kewujudannya diterangkan dengan jelas dalam al-Quran. Ia memang diketahui tetapi apa yang menjadikan kewujudannya tidak disenangi ialah cara ia memberitahu kehadirannya melalui gangguan, usikan atau jelmaan yang menakutkan.
Manusia dan makhluk halus juga tidak boleh menjadi kawan dan jika ada yang melanggar hukum itu, akibatnya akan membinasakan diri. Cerita ini pernah menggemparkan sebuah kampung yang terletak berhampiran Bukit Merah di Perak. Lelaki yang memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai Ahmad Syakir, 29, memberitahu tidak lama dulu dia dan isteri serta anak perempuannya yang dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah mentua agak kehairanan mendapati pondok kecil di simpang masuk kampung isterinya lengang, sedangkan waktu baru menjangkau jam 8 malam. “Saya memandu dengan perlahan dan berhati-hati kerana jalan masuk ke kampung isteri yang terletak agak jauh dari jalan besar, sempit dan tidak rata. Di kirinya pula ada tali air. Tanda tanya mengapa tiada anak muda melepak di pondok itu hilang begitu saja.
“Saya tidak pula berasa cuak dengan keadaan sunyi sepi dan gelap di kiri kanan jalan. Mungkin sebab sudah biasa berdepan dengan gangguan makhluk halus. Malah sepanjang perjalanan ia langsung tidak terlintas di ingatan,” katanya. Sesampai di laman rumah mentuanya, Syakir turun mendukung anak perempuannya, manakala isteri mengangkat beg baju. Kehairanan sekali lagi timbul apabila ibu mentuanya segera keluar menyambar cucu lantas dibawa masuk dalam rumah dengan tergesa-gesa. Syakir yang ingin mengambil angin malam duduk di atas pelantar di depan rumah tertanya-tanya dengan ajakan ibu mentuanya yang bersungguh-sungguh mahu dia masuk ke dalam dengan segera. “Saya berasa berasa pelik sangat perangai ibu mentua. Dia seolah-olah bersembunyi di belakang pintu sambil menggamit saya supaya segera masuk ke rumah. Sebaik melangkah masuk, dia cepat-cepat menutup pintu. Gayanya macam ingin menghalang benda lain masuk.
“Selepas itu, barulah saya tahu cerita sebenar di sebalik tindak tanduk ibu mentua saya. Ia juga menjadi sebab mengapa pondok di simpang sunyi sepi. Rupa-rupanya, penduduk kampung dilanda ketakutan apabila seorang wanita warga emas yang baru dikebumikan tiga hari lalu dilihat merayau-rayau,”
katanya.
Kejadian mula disedari suami wanita berkenaan sendiri yang terperanjat besar mendapati makanan sudah sedia terhidang di atas meja apabila dia pulang bekerja. Bunyi seperti orang sedang mandi dalam bilik air tambah menghairankannya. Dia yang pada awalnya menyangka rumah diceroboh masuk, terus kaku dan membuka langkah seribu apabila melihat tubuh yang melangkah keluar dari bilik air ialah isterinya yang baru dikebumikan. Sejak itu, si suami tidak berani tidur di rumahnya dan sebaik malam menjelma, dia akan menumpang tidur di rumah saudara mara atau jiran. “Ibu mentua saya memberitahu jelmaan itu juga mula mengganggu orang kampung, merayau-rayau mengetuk pintu rumah penduduk. Dia bersyukur kerana kejadian menyeramkan itu tidak berlaku kepadanya tetapi di kalangan jiran ada yang pengsan apabila mendapati tiba-tiba wanita itu berada di dapur mereka. “Bagaimanapun, keadaan kini sudah pulih seperti biasa dan pondok di simpang sudah kembali riuh,” katanya. Sebagai umat Islam, kita dilarang sama sekali bersahabat dengan makhluk halus apatah lagi membelanya untuk kepentingan diri. Jika difikirkan secara logik, apa faedahnya berkawan dengan jin atau syaitan yang sudah sah akan ke neraka juga kesudahannya.

:: Bunga bakawali

Bunga Bakawali
The kingdom of Tajul Bahri is ruled by Sultan Tajul Arif and a host of able ministers and officials. One day when the king’s officials and courtiers are gathered in court, Sultan Tajul Arif comes in. Apparently he has been only recently blinded while hunting in a forest. The Sultan, taking his place on the throne, asks one of his ministers (wazir) to call in an astrologer (ahli nujum), so that the cause of his blindness as well as a possible remedy may be known. According to the astrologer the Sultan has been blinded because a golden deer (kijanq emas) crossed his path. The cure is a flower known as bunqa bakawali, which grows in the Garden of Bolkis. The garden is almost impossible to reach. Even if the whole population of Tajul Bahri went in search of the flower the chances of getting it are very remote. The only person who can successfully obtain bunga bakawali is Prince Tajul Muluk, son of Sultan Tajul Arif.

Tajul Muluk leaves with his two companions, Ahmad and Muhammad, in search of the magical flower. They soon arrive at a cross‑roads. The three roads facing them lead respectively to a sea of mud, a dark ocean and a sea of fire. They decide that each one will take a different route. Tajul Muluk goes through the sea of fire, while each of his companions agrees to take one of the other routes. Once the prince leaves, Ahmad and Muhammad decide to abandon their journey. They return to the city to enjoy themselves.

Tajul Muluk, having successfully crossed the sea of fire, finds himself before a cave, the home of a gigantic Garuda bird. Attacking Tajul Muluk, the bird tries to eat him but the prince pleads with it and after some time the Garuda leaves Tajul Muluk alone. As soon as Garuda goes in search of food, there arrives before Tajul Muluk a beautiful princess, Garuda's daughter. Tajul Muluk and the princess, Nurul Ashikin, are attracted to each other. Upon Garuda's return, they are married.

Tajul Muluk tells his wife, Puteri Nurul Ashikin, regarding his mission ‑‑ that is to search for bunqa bakawali. Puteri Nurul Ashikin believes that Garuda can be of assistance as he is one of those taking care of the flower. As a means of drawing the huge bird’s attention, the two pretend to quarrel, and when questioned by Garuda, they ask Garuda to swear by the Prophet Solomon that he will grant them a favour. When Garuda takes his oath they tell him regarding Tajul Muluk’s search for bunga bakawali. With the assistance of Garuda’s friend, the king of the rats (Maharaja Tikus), who cuts an underground passage to the Garden of Bolkis, Tajul Muluk reaches the garden. Here he finds Puteri Bakawali asleep. Tajul Muluk feels faint. Without wasting any time, however, he takes the princess ring and bunga bakawali. Puteri Bakawali, upon awakening, finds both her ring and the magical flower missing. She is sent by her father, the king of the skies (Maharaja Kayangan) in search of the two missing items. To this end she disguises herself as a man.

Meanwhile Tajul Muluk, now in possession of bunga bakawali, arrives at the junction where he parted from Ahmad and Muhammad, and where they have agreed to meet. Each of them brings with him a flower, and each claims that his flower is the true bunga bakawali. To establish which of the three flowers is the true bakawali, they find a blind man, who is promptly healed by the flower in Tajul Muluk’s hand. Ahmad and Muhammad decide to steal the flower from Tajul Muluk. Persuading the prince to the edge of a lake, they push him into it, in the process snatching the flower from him.

Meanwhile the story turns to a poor couple. One morning when the wife goes to the lake as usual to get some water, she comes across Tajul Muluk. To her enquiry as to why he is in the lake, Tajul Muluk replies that he is a trader and that he has been robbed and pushed into the lake by a band of thieves. The old woman, pitying Tajul Muluk, takes him home with her. The prince is adopted as their child by the poor couple. He begins selling cakes on their behalf.

Ahmad and Muhammad, having acquired bunga bakawali, now in audience before Sultan Tajul Arif. The Sultan's blindness cured by means of the flower. As a reward he gives the two as much money as they want and also complete freedom of action in his land for forty days and forty nights. The only restriction is that they cannot kill anyone.

During this time Puteri Bakawali, disguised as a young man, arrives before Sultan Tajul Arif, seeking a job. She is given responsibility of the State Treasury, where she works under the assumed name of Shahrat.

Ahmad and Muhammad misbehave themselves and go wandering about in the country. One day they meet Tajul Muluk as the cake-seller but do not recognise him. They eat his cakes until they are absolutely stuffed. They ask for some water, and when Tajul Muluk goes to fetch water for them, they abscond. His foster parents, when they learn from him the cause of his misery, suggest that a complaint be made to the Sultan.

In the palace the poor man presents his case before the sultan. Puteri Bakawali notices her ring on Tajul Muluk’s finger, and she too goes before the Sultan. As Shahrat, she orders that all the doors to the palace be locked, as there is a thief amongst them. She points out Tajul Muluk as the thief, saying that the ring on his finger is a stolen one. The Sultan, surprised, asks who Shahrat really is, and Puteri Bakawali, removing her disguise, relates all the events that have taken place. It is not Ahmad and Muhammad who obtained bunga bakawali, she says. The successful person is none other than the young cake seller. Tajul Muluk reveals his true identity as the son of Sultan Tajul Arif who went in search of the magical bunga bakawali. Realising that Ahmad and Muhammad have cheated him and his son, the Sultan orders them to be punished, but Tajul Muluk urges his father to pardon them.

At that very instant the King of the Skies arrives and the marriage of Tajul Muluk and Puteri Bakawali is celebrated. Soon afterwards, Garuda too comes in bringing with him his daughter, Tajul Muluk’s first wife. The Sultan orders that celebrations be held for the period of forty days and forty nights to commemorate the marriage of Tajul Muluk to both Puteri Nurul Ashikin and Puteri Bakawali.

:: Jenis terbang pun ada

Abu Tha'labah al-Khasyaniy telah meriwayatkan, bahawa Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda yang bermaksud:
"Makhluk jin itu terdapat dalam 3 jenis: Pertama jenis yang mempunyai sayap dan ia boleh terbang di udara. Kedua jenis berupa ular dan kala jengking. Dan yang ketiga ialah jenis yang suka berpindah randah."
(Hadith riwayat at-Tabraniy, al-Hakim dan al-Baihaqiy dalam al-Asmaa' was-Sifat dengan sanad yang sahih. Lihat Sahibul Jami': 3/85)

:: Seterika lama





Sekarang dah moden dan arus kemodenan menjalar hingga ke kawasan pedalaman dan desa terpencil. Seterika elektrik telah berjaya mengambil alih tugas dan peranan seterika lama... yang menggunakan arang atau tempurung kelapa. Teramat sukar untuk mencari dan melihat seterika lama (arang) yang mempunyai kepala ayam pada bahagian penyelaknya sekarang ini. Nostalgia dan imbauan sesekali menerjah minda.

:: Jin menginap

Kononnya makhluk jin ini menginap di mana2 saja, lebih mengutamakan lokasi yang bebas dari manusia seperti di padang pasir. Ada juga yang menyukai tempat2 kotor seperti kawasan pembuangan sampah dan tempat kotoran lain di samping turut meminati diam menumpang bersama manusia.

:: Wujudkah mereka?

"Alif, Lam, Mim. Kitab (al-Quran) ini tidak ada keraguan padanya, menjadi petunjuk bagi mereka yang bertaqwa, (iaitu) mereka yang beriman kepada yang ghaib, yang mendirikan solat dan menafkahkan sebahagian rezeki yang telah kami rezekikan kepada mereka." (Al-Baqarah: 1 - 3).

Justeru, adalah menjadi satu kewajipan ke atas setiap individu muslim agar beriman kepada perkara ghaib, dengan sebenar-benar keimanan. Keimanan tersebut tidak perlu sama sekali dicampur adukkan dengan perasaan ragu dan syak. Maksud perkara ghaib itu ialah apa-apa perkara yang tidak mampu dilihat dengan mata kasar, cuma realitinya hanyalah diketahui melalui perkhabaran Allah SWT dan rasulNya sahaja. Demikianlah sebagaimana yang telah dinyatakan oleh Ibnu Mas'ud radialLahu'anhu.

Berkenaan makhluk jin pula, sememangnya termasuk di dalam perkara-perkara ghaib, yang wajib diimani lantaran di sana terdapat berbagai dalil yang membincangkan perihal makhluk tersebut.

Dalil al-Quran:

1. " Dan (ingatlah) ketika Kami hadapkan serombongan jin kepadamu yang mendengarkan al-Quran." (Al-Ahqaaf: 29).

2. " Hai golongan jin dan manusia, apakah belum datang kepadamu rasul-rasul dari golonganmu sendiri, yang menyampaikan kepadamu ayat-ayatKu dan memberi peringatan kepadamu terhadap pertemuanmu dengan hari ini?." (Al- An'aam: 130).

3. " Hai golongan jin dan manusia, jika kamu sanggup menembus (melintasi) penjuru langit dan bumi, maka lintasilah, kamu tidak dapat menembusinya melainkan dengan kekuatan." (Al-Rahmaan: 33).

4, " Katakanlah (Hai Muhammad): Telah diwahyukan kepadaku bahawasanya: sekumpulan jin telah mendengar (al-Quran), lalu mereka berkata: Sesungguhnya kami telah mendengarkan al-Quran yang menakjubkan." (Al-Jin: 1).

5. " Dan bahawasanya ada beberapa orang lelaki di antara manusia meminta perlindungan kepada lelaki di antara jin, maka jin-jin itu menambah bagi mereka dosa dan kesalahan." (Al-Jin: 6).
