Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell
Pengasas Pergerakan Pengakap Sedunia

SELAMAT HARI PENGAKAP SEDUNIA

Sejarah Pengakap Dunia

Pengakap telah diasaskan oleh seorang bangsa lnggeris bernama Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell yang terkenal dengan nama Lord Baden-Powell atau BP. Baden-Powell dilahirkan di bandar London, England pada 22 Februari 1857, dan meninggal dunia pada 8 Januari, 1941. Bapa Baden-Powell bernama Reverend H.G. Baden-Powell adalah seorang mahaguru di Universiti Oxford, London, England. Ibunya ialah anak kepada Laksamana British bernama W.T. Smyth.

Sewaktu Baden-Powell berusia tiga tahun, bapanya meninggal dunia dan tinggallah beliau bersama ibunya dalam keadaan yang sederhana. Pada zaman persekolahan Baden-Powell banyak menceburkan diri dalam kegiatan sekolahnya seperti berlakon, menyanyi dan menembak. Dalam masa cuti sekolah Baden-Powell bersama-sama tiga orang abangnya selalu pergi mengembara berjalan kaki berkhemah, belayar dan berperahu. Setelah berjaya dalam peperiksaan tentera, BP telah ditauliahkan sebagai Leftenan Muda dan mula berkhidmat dalam tentera di India dan Afghanistan dalam tahun 1876, kemudian ke Natal (Zululand) dan Malta sebagai penolong Setiausaha Tentera.

Beberapa tahun kemudian beliau dihantar bertugas di Afrika Barat untuk menamatkan satu peperangan di Ashanti, Ghana. Di situ beliau digelar KANTANKYE yang bermaksud Topi Besar. Dalam peperangan Baden-Powell sentiasa berhati-hati terhadap pergerakan musuh hinggakan beliau digelar IMPEESA yang bermaksud Serigala yang tak pernah tidur. Dalam tahun 1897, BP dinaikan pangkat menjadi Kolonel dan ditempatkan di India untuk memimpin Dragoon Guard ke 5. Beliau telah memberi hadiah kepada askar-askar yang menunjukkan kebolehan yang baik dengan satu lencana bergelar SCOUTS (Peninjau).

Dalam tahun 1899 Baden-Powell pulang ke England membawa sebuah buku yang dikarangnya semasa di Kashmir berjodol Aids To Scouting. Buku itu mengandungi kisah peninjauan di India. Tidak lama kemudian, Baden-Powell telah dihantar ke Afrika Selatan untuk menambahkan dua rejimen askar berkuda untuk mempertahankan sempadan British dari serangan orang Boer iaitu puak keturunan pendatang Belanda. Orang-orang British telah mengepung bandar Mafeking, iaitu sebuah bandar jajahan British, dengan itu mencetuskan satu peperangan besar yang dinamakan Peperangan Boer. Dalam peperangan itu, Baden-Powell hanya mempunyai seramai 1,000 orang askar berbanding dengan 9,000 orang Boer. Dengan tipu helah, beliau meletakkan periuk api pasir dan papan tanda BAHAYA sehingga beliau telah berjaya memperdayakan orang-orang Boer.

Beliau telah menggunakan budak-budak untuk mengintip rahsia musuh. Akhirnya Baden-Powell berjaya memenangi peperangan itu. Di atas kemenangan itu, beliau telah dinaikkan pangkat Mejar Jeneral ketika berumur 43 tahun, pegawai yang termuda menerima pangkat itu. Selepas perang Boer, Baden-Powell diarahkan menubuhkan pasukan polis Afrika Selatan dan dilantik sebagai Jeneral Tentera Berkuda. Beliau menjadi Jeneral pasukan tentera Simpanan ketika berumur 50 tahun.

Setelah bersara dari tentera, Baden-Powell pulang ke England dan telah menganjurkan satu perkhemahan di Pulau Browsea selama 10 hari pada tahun 1907. Seramai 21 orang budak-budak turut serta dalam perkhemahan itu. Baden-Powell menggunakan idea berpandukan kepada pengalamannya dalam peperangan Mafeking dan buku "Aids To Scouting". Budak-budak itu dibahagikan kepada empat patrol. Mereka belajar dan berlatih cara berkhemah, memasak, memerhati, mengembara, berperahu, menyelamat nyawa dan mengesan jejak. Pada malamnya diadakan unggun api. Perkhemahan di Pulau Browsea berjaya dan amat diminati oleh budak-budak yang menyertainya.

Selepas itu dalam tahun 1908, Baden-Powell pula mengarang sebuah buku berjudul "Scouting For Boys". Kandungannya berdasarkan kepada pengalaman beliau semasa menjadi askar di India dan Afrika serta perkhemahan budak-budak di Pulau Browsea. Buku itu telah memikat hati budak-budak. Dengan itu wujudlah Pergerakan Pengakap. Dalam tempoh setahun sahaja Pergerakan Pengakap berkembang di England dan merebak ke Australia, Canada, New Zealand dan Afrika Selatan. Berikutnya pada tahun 1909, Pergerakan Pengakap ditubuhkan di Chile, Amerika Syarikat, Ghana, India dan selepas itu di seluruh dunia.

February 22nd marks the birthday of Lord Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement. Coincidentally, B-P (born in 1857) and his wife Olave Baden-Powell (born in 1889), shared the same birthday.
Nearly all National Scout Associations throughout the world, celebrate this day as « Founder's Day ». It is considered a special day, as well as an opportunity to learn more about BP's life and his work. His Writings remain inspiring to many and incredibly on phase with our times.

B-P - Chief Scout of the World
Lord Robert Baden-Powell of Gilwell (1857-1941) was a decorated soldier, talented artist, actor and free-thinker. Best known during his military career for his spirited defense of the small South African township of Mafeking during the Boer War, he was soon to be propelled to extraordinary fame as the Founder of Scouting.
GROWING UP
Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, known as B-P, was born at 6 Stanhope Street (now 11, Stanhope Terrace) Paddington, London on 22nd February 1857. He was the sixth son and the eighth of ten children of the Reverend Baden Powell, a Professor at Oxford University. His father died when B-P was only three years old and the family were left none too well off.
B-P was given his first lessons by his mother and later attended Rose Hill School, Tunbridge Wells, where he gained a scholarship for admittance to Charterhouse School. Charterhouse School was in London when B-P first attended but whilst he was there it moved to Godalming in Surrey, a factor which had great influence later in his life. He was always eager to learn new skills and played the piano and the violin. While at Charterhouse he began to exploit his interest in the arts of scouting and woodcraft.
In the woods around the school B-P would hide from his masters as well as catch and cook rabbits, being careful not to let tell-tale smoke give his position away. The holidays were not wasted either. With his brothers he was always in search of adventure. One holiday they made a yachting expedition round the south coast of England. On another, they traced the Thames to its source by canoe. Through all this Baden-Powell was learning the arts and crafts which were to prove so useful to him professionally.
Not known for his high marks at school, B-P nevertheless took an examination for the Army and placed second among several hundred applicants. He was commissioned straight into the 13th Hussars, bypassing the officer training establishments. Later he became their Honorary Colonel.
MILITARY LIFE
In 1876 he went to India as a young army officer and specialised in scouting, map-making and reconnaissance. His success soon led to his training other soldiers. B-P's methods were unorthodox for those days; small units or patrols working together under one leader, with special recognition for those who did well. For proficiency, B-P awarded his trainees badges resembling the traditional design of the north compass point. Today's universal Scout badge is very similar.
Later he was stationed in the Balkans, South Africa and Malta. He returned to Africa to help defend Mafeking during its 217-day siege at the start of the Boer war. It provided crucial tests for B-P's scouting skills. The courage and resourcefulness shown by the boys in the corps of messengers at Mafeking made a lasting impression on him. In turn, his deeds made a lasting impression in England.
Returning home in 1903 he found that he had become a national hero. He also found that the small handbook he had written for soldiers ("Aids to Scouting") was being used by youth leaders and teachers all over the country to teach observation and woodcraft.
He spoke at meetings and rallies and whilst at a Boys' Brigade gathering he was asked by its Founder, Sir William Smith, to work out a scheme for giving greater variety in the training of boys in good citizenship.
BEGINNINGS OF THE MOVEMENT
B-P set to work rewriting "Aids to Scouting", this time for a younger audience. In 1907 he held an experimental camp on Brownsea Island, Poole, Dorset, to try out his ideas. He brought together 22 boys, some from private schools and some from working class homes, and took them camping under his leadership. The whole world now knows the results of that camp.
"Scouting for Boys" was published in 1908 in six fortnightly parts. Sales of the book were tremendous. Boys formed themselves into Scout Patrols to try out ideas. What had been intended as a training aid for existing organisations became the handbook of a new and ultimately worldwide Movement. B-P's great understanding of boys obviously touched something fundamental in the youth of England and worldwide. "Scouting for Boys" has since been translated into more than 35 languages.
Without fuss, without ceremony and completely spontaneously, boys began to form Scout Troops all over the country. In September 1908 Baden-Powell had set up an office to deal with the large number of enquiries which were pouring in.
Scouting spread quickly throughout the British Empire and to other countries until it was established in practically all parts of the world.
He retired from the army in 1910, at the age of 53, on the advice of King Edward VII who suggested that he could now do more valuable service for his country within the Scout Movement.
With all his enthusiasm and energy were now directed to the development of Boy Scouting and Girl Guiding, he travelled to all parts of the world, wherever he was most needed, to encourage growth and give inspiration.
In 1912 he married Olave Soames who was his constant help and companion in all this work. They had three children (Peter, Heather and Betty). Lady Olave Baden-Powell was later known as World Chief Guide.
CHIEF SCOUT OF THE WORLD
The first international Scout Jamboree took place at Olympia, London in 1920. At its closing scene B-P was unanimously acclaimed as Chief Scout of the World.
At the third World Jamboree, held in Arrowe Park, Birkenhead, England, the Prince of Wales announced that B-P would be given Peerage by H.M. the King. The news was received with great rejoicing. B-P took the title of Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell; Gilwell Park being the international training centre he had created for Scout leaders.
B-P wrote no fewer than 32 books. He received honorary degrees from at least six Universities. In addition, 28 foreign orders and decorations and 19 foreign Scout awards were bestowed upon him.
In 1938, suffering from ill-health, B-P returned to Africa, which had meant so much in his life, to live in semi-retirement at Nyeri, Kenya. Even there he found it difficult to curb his energies, and he continued to produce books and sketches.
On January 8th, 1941, at 83 years of age, B-P died. He was buried in a simple grave at Nyeri within sight of Mount Kenya. On his head-stone are the words "Robert Baden-Powell, Chief Scout of the World" surmounted by the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Badges. Lady Olave Baden-Powell carried on his work, promoting Scouting and Girl Guiding around the world until her death in 1977. She is buried alongside Lord Baden-Powell at Nyeri.

Sejarah dan Fadilat Ayat Qursi

Semasa penurunannya ia telah diiringi oleh beribu-ribu malaikat kerana kehebatan dan kemuliaannya. Syaitan dan iblis juga menjadi gempar kerana adanya satu perintang dalam perjuangan mereka. Rasullah s. a. w. dengan segera memerintahkan Zaid b Tsabit menulis serta menyebarkannya. Sesiapa yang membaca ayat Kursi dengan khusyuk setiap kali selepas sembahyang fardhu, setiap pagi dan petang setiap kali keluar masuk rumah atau hendak musafir, InsyaAllah akan terpeliharalah dirinya dari godaan syaitan, kejahatan manusia, binatang buas yang akan memudaratkan dirinya bahkan keluarga, anak-anak, harta bendanya juga akan terpelihara dengan izin Allah s. w. t. Mengikut keterangan dari kitab"Asraarul Mufidah" sesiapa mengamalkan membacanya setiap hari sebanyak 18 kali maka akan dibukakan dadanya dengan berbagai hikmah, dimurahkan rezekinya, dinaikkan darjatnya dan diberikannya pengaruh sehingga semua orang akan menghormatinya serta terpelihara ia dari segala bencana dengan izin Allah. Syeikh Abu Abbas ada menerangkan, siapa yang membacanya sebanyak 50 kali lalu ditiupkannya pada air hujan kemudian diminumnya, insyaAllah, Allah akan mencerdaskan akal fikirannya serta memudahkannya menerima ilmu pengetahuan. Untuk amalan kita semua..... Fadhilat Ayat Al-Kursi mengikut Hadis-Hadis Rasullullah s. a. w. bersabda bermaksud: "Sesiapa pulang ke rumahnya serta membaca ayat Kursi, Allah hilangkan segala kefakiran di depan matanya. Sabda baginda lagi; "Umatku yang membaca ayat Kursi 12 kali pada pagi Jumaat, kemudian berwuduk dan sembahyang sunat dua rakaat, Allah memeliharanya daripada kejahatan syaitan dan kejahatan pembesar." Orang yang selalu membaca ayat Kursi dicintai dan dipelihara Allah sebagaimana DIA memelihara Nabi Muhammad. Mereka yang beramal dengan bacaan ayat Kursi akan mendapat pertolongan serta perlindungan Allah daripada gangguan serta hasutan syaitan. Pengamal ayat Kursi juga, dengan izin Allah, akan terhindar daripada pencerobohan pencuri. Ayat Kursi menjadi benteng yang kuat menyekat pencuri daripada memasuki rumah. Mengamalkan bacaan ayat Kursi juga akan memberikan keselamatan ketika dalam perjalanannya. Ayat Kursi yang dibaca dengan penuh khusyuk, Insya-Allah, boleh menyebabkan syaitan dan jin terbakar. Jika anda berpindah ke rumah baru maka pada malam pertama anda menduduki rumah itu eloklah anda membaca ayat Kursi 100 kali, insya-Allah mudah-mudahan anda sekeluarga terhindar daripada gangguan lahir dan batin. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi apabila berbaring di tempat tidurnya,Allah mewakilkan 2 orang Malaikat memeliharanya hingga subuh. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir setiap sembahyang Fardhu, ia akan berada dalam lindungan Allah hingga sembahyang yang lain. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir tiap sembahyang, tidak menegah akan dia daripada masuk syurga kecuali maut, dan barang siapa membacanya ketika hendak tidur, Allah memelihara akan dia ke atas rumahnya, rumah jirannya & ahli rumah2 di sekitarnya. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi diakhir tiap-tiap sembahyang Fardhu, Allah menganugerahkan dia hati-hati orang yang bersyukur perbuatan2 orang yang benar, pahala nabi2 juga Allah melimpahkan padanya rahmat. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi sebelum keluar rumahnya, maka Allah mengutuskan 70,000 Malaikat kepadanya, mereka semua memohon keampunan dan mendoakan baginya. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir sembahyang Allah azza wajalla akan mengendalikan pengambilan rohnya dan ia adalah seperti orang yang berperang bersama nabi Allah sehingga mati syahid. Barang siapa yang membaca ayat al-Kursi ketika dalam kesempitan nescaya Allah berkenan memberi pertolongan kepadanya
