The Original Seven Wonders of the World

The Seven Wonders of the World has historically been a listing of seven sites known to the Ancient Greeks as the most notable locales in their known world. Since then, many have developed lists of the "modern" Seven Wonders of the World. The only list that really stands out and has stood the test of time for more than a decade is the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

WONDER NO.1 : THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES
The colossus of Rhodes is familiar to almost everyone. Its history begins with the siege of Demetrios Poliorketes, successor of Alexander the Great, in 305 BC. When Demetrios was defeated, he abandoned all his siege machinery on Rhodes. The Rhodians decided to express their pride by building a triumphal statue of their favorite god, Helios. The task was assigned to the sculptor Chares of Lindos, a pupil of Lysippos himself, and twelve tears (from 304 to 292 BC) were needed to complete it.

Masa Hidup Jangan Dipersia-siakan



Firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud:

"Demi sesungguhnya engkau (wahai Muhammad) akan dapati mereka itu seloba-loba manusia kepada hidup (yang lanjut masanya), dan (lobanya mereka kepada hidup itu) melebihi loba orang-orang kafir musyrik. Tiap-tiap seorang dari mereka suka kiranya ia boleh hidup beribu tahun, padahal umur panjang yang demikian tidak akan dapat melepaskannya dari azab (yang disediakan oleh Allah). Dan (ingatlah), Allah sentiasa melihat akan apa yang mereka lakukan".
(Surah al-Baqarah: 96)
