Salam semua. Ingin dimaklumkan buat suatu masa artikel-artikel saya terpaksa menggunakan gambar-gambar yang kurang elok kerana kamera saya terjatuh lalu rosak mekanisma fokus. Nak hantar untuk diperbaiki rasanya lebih elok beli kamera baru. Nak beli kamera baru belum ada bajet. Jadi kenalah bertahan buat masa ini..
Peace be upon you all. It is to be informed that for a time my articles are forced to used pictures which are not so clear as my camera fell down and this spoiled its focus mechanism. To send it for repair me feels it is better to buy a new camera. To buy a new camera I haven't got the budget. So have to bear this for a while.
Semalam saya pergi ke sebuah institusi bernama Centre for Malay World and Islamic Civilisation di Bukit Damansara.
Yesterday I went to an institution named the Centre for Malay World and Islamic Civilisation at Bukit Damansara.
Ia adalah satu institusi di bawah University Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia.
It is an institution under the International Islamic University of Malaysia.
Inilah kali pertama saya menjejakkan kaki di sini setelah hampir 20 tahun.
This is the first time I stepped foot here after almost 20 years.
Suatu masa dahulu kompleks bangunan yang ada menempatkan satu institusi lain bernama ISTAC, International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation.
Once upon a time the available building complex housed another institution named ISTAC, International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation
.
ISTAC diasaskan oleh pemikir besar negara bertaraf antarabangsa. Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas pada tahun 1987.
ISTAC was founded by the national thinker of international status, Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, in the year 1987.
Beliaulah yang menetapkan agar kompleks ini dibina menurut citarasa senibina Andalusia yang melambangkan zaman kegemilangan Islam di sana lebih 600 tahun yang lampau.
It was he who set that the complex be built according to the architectural taste of Andalusia which symbolises the golden age of Islam there more than 600 years ago.
Selepas itu beliau mengasaskan satu lagi kompleks yang serupa tetapi lebih besar di kawasan lain berdekatan...
After that he founded one more complex which was similar but much bigger at another area close by...
Kompleks tersebut juga kemudian terlepas daripada pengendalian beliau. Lihat IIUM Crescent di (at) Bukit Tunku.
The said complex then was also taken away from his supervision. Look at IIUM Crescent di (at) Bukit Tunku.
