Pasal Michelangelo
Dan Mika-Angle-O

Pagi tadi saya terima panggilan dari seorang pengunjung www-kuda-kepang.blogspot.com. Beliau seorang Datuk. Beliau memang sering kali menyumbang komen dan buah fikiran membina kepada blog ini.

Katanya, beliau agak musykil terhadap seorang lagi regular surfer ke blog ini yang menggunakan nama pena Mika-Angel-O. Katanya, komen-komen Mika-Angel-O terlalu abstrak dan sukar nntuk difahami maksudnya.

Sebenarnya, saya sentiasa alu-alukan sahabat-sahabat yang berkunjung ke blog ini. Mereka berpolemik secara sihat demi agama, bangsa dan negara. Dan, kalau ada yang memilih untuk memberikan komen secara abstrak pun saya hormati.

Tapi, kenapa agaknya hari ini Mika-Angel-O poskan lagu Speak Sofly Love kepada saya? Adakah beliau mahu saya sekadar berbisik-bisik dalam blog ini? Adakah kalau saya bersuara lantang, beliau akan poskan lagu Killing Me Softly pula kepada saya?

Tak apalah. Saya harap sahabat yang menelefon saya pagi ini terus melawati blog ini. Teruskanlah beri komen yang boleh menginsafkan pembesar-pembsar negara kita ke arah memperbaikki seluruh kepincangan dan dakwaan konspirasi yang sedang hangat dipolemikkan oleh rakyat mutakhir ini.

Saya tau identiti sahabat yang menelfon saya pagi ini. Tetapi, demi kepentingan bersama, saya akan gelarkan beliau dengan nama pena Datuk Wira Wangsa.

In order to preserve the diversity of views dalam blog ini, saya harap Datuk Wira Wangsa dan sahabat-sahabat lain terimalah kehadiran Mika-Angel-O dengan abstractionism yang diperjuangkannya.

Posting ini hanya sekadar human interest untuk memberikan colour kepada blog ini. Sekali sekala, saya memang suka personalized kehadiran sahabat-sahabat yang memberikan komen dan pendapat menerusi kuda-kepang.

Moga-moga kita semua sentiasa fokus dan jadikan seluruh komen dan pendapat kita dalam blog ini sebagai sumbangan kita kepada perjuangan besar mensejahterakan Malaysia milik kita bersama.

Akhir sekali, saya dedikasikan petikan di bawah ini kepada Mika Angel-O The Mara Cong.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.

Michelangelo's output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence, sketches and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. Two of his best-known works, the Pietà and the David, were sculpted before he turned thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting, Michelangelo also created two of the most influential fresco paintings in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgement on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Later in life he designed the dome of St Peter's Basilica in the same city and revolutionised classical architecture with his invention of the giant order of pilasters.

Don't Take It Too Seriously, Folks!

try this:

In Arabic literature, Michael is called Mika'il or (in the Qur'an) Mikal. In the Qur'an Michael is mentioned once only, in Sura 2:98. In his commentary on verse 91 of that sura, Baiḍawi relates that on one occasion Omar went into a Jewish school and inquired concerning Gabriel. The pupils said he was their enemy, but that Michael was a good angel, bringing peace and plenty. In answer to Omar's question as to the respective positions of Michael and Gabriel in God's presence, they said that Gabriel was on His right hand and Michael on His left. Omar exclaimed at their untruthfulness, and declared that whoever was an enemy to God and His angels, to him God would be an enemy. Upon returning to Mohammad, Omar found that Gabriel had forestalled him by revealing the same message, which is contained in verse 92. Muslim commentators state with reference to Sura 11:72 that Michael was one of the three angels who visited Abraham.


St Michael's Victory over the Devil, a sculpture by Sir Jacob Epstein near the entrance to Coventry Cathedral.Among the Muslims, Michael is one of the four archangels (with Izrail, Israfil, and Jibrail), and one of the two angels, with Gabriel, named in Qur'an. He resides in the seventh heaven and is popularly believed to have wings of emerald green.

In Islamic tradition Michael always appears as second to Gabriel. When God was creating Adam, He sent first Gabriel and then Michael to fetch the clay out of which man is to be formed. Both were restrained by the earth's protests; only Azrael pays no heed to them. When Adam and Eve are expelled from paradise, Gabriel is sent to the former, and Michael to the latter, to impart comfort. On his death-bed Mohammed stated that Gabriel would be the first and Michael the second to pray over him.
