Our Need for Water

The human body is composed of approximately 70% water. Water is contained in the cells of the body (intracellular fluid), in the arteries and veins (blood plasma), and in the spaces between the blood vessels and cells (Interstitial fluid). The body's water supply is responsible and involved in nearly every bodily process.

Water is required for the distribution of nutrients, electrolytes, hormones, and other chemical messengers throughout the body, as well as the removal of waste products. Water is involved in cellular energy production and the maintenance of body temperature. It is also an important structural component of skin, cartilage, and other tissues.

When we eat, breathe, and use our muscles, our body creates residue waste products that the body has to get rid of. Good clean water helps us do this. Without enough water we do not get rid of these waste products? The waste products that we do not discard have to be stored somewhere within our body.

Storing this waste seems to contribute to, or even help cause, the following: lower back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, headaches/migraines, asthma, allergies, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, neck pain.

Besides ridding the body of toxins, water helps to reduce sodium buildup in the body, relieve constipation, and maintain proper muscle tone. Water helps maintain normal body temperature.

Water acts as a solvent for the vitamins and minerals we need everyday for our cells to do their jobs.

A precarious balance exists between fluid intake and output. You get water from three sources: drink (60 percent), food (30 percent), and cellular metabolism (10 percent). At the same time, you constantly lose water. A sedentary person in a temperate climate loses about two quarts of fluid per day, primarily through urine, sweat, and respiration. That amount can jump to four to six quarts per day in hot and/or humid weather, and one to three quarts per hour during physical activity. It’s easy to see how fragile your body’s water balance is.

Therefore, replacing the water that is continually being lost is very important.. While the body can survive without food for about five weeks, the body cannot survive without water for longer than five days.

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (It is possible that this applies to half world population who are in modern countries with the sort of food and so on that we have.)

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 5%.

One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. (If you feel tired some morning, try drinking a pint of pure water....)

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. (Maybe the so called arthritis is just a water deficiency in some cases!)

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

According to some nutritionists, drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

During a state of drought your body switches into its “water conservation” mode. One of the primary ways it ensures adequate hydration is by holding onto sodium. The result is sodium retention, followed by a rise in fluid levels — the precise mechanism involved in abnormal blood pressure

With more severe dehydration, your body is forced to get by on reduced fluid volume, so it compensates by temporarily closing down capillaries. While the brain and other vital organs continue to receive enough blood to meet their basic needs, some tissues must go without. As capillaries remain closed, the tissues they supply become starved of nutrients and bogged down with cellular wastes. Among the first areas affected are cartilage and synovial fluid, and the result is discomfort in the joints.

In addition, water-conserving chemicals are released. Chief among these is histamine, which reduces water loss, but at the same time may trigger respiratory problems. Prostaglandins and kinins are released as well, which can lead to a variety of discomforts. As you can see, too little water causes much more than thirst and a dry mouth — it parches your entire body.

If you’re only producing small quantities of dark, concentrated urine, you’re not drinking enough. (To ensure a good night’s sleep, try cutting back on fluids two or three hours before bedtime.)

Why aren’t the health benefits of water discussed more often?

Part of the answer is simply that water is free, so there’s little to be gained by advertising its benefits. Water can't be patented and owned by a company. Even though you can buy bottled water, most people don’t have to buy bottled water to have clean water to drink every day. This is why you often don’t hear very much about the benefits of water. For example, it is not well known that many headaches are caused by slight dehydration and can be alleviated by drinking water; instead, we are told to take aspirin or other (and more expensive) analgesics. If you often get a headache after exertion or after crying, the water you drink to take the pill with may be doing as much to relieve the pain as the medicine is.

NOTE: I have had people tell me they do not like plain water. The effects are markedly cut down if one drinks juice or coffee, etc. Digestion comes to play, and the body works, and the water is mixed in with the digestive juices and the effect is lost. It is recommended that you not drink your large quantities of water with meals. A huge quantity of water in the stomach with the food can dilute the digestive enzymes there and affect how easily the digestion occurs.

How much water?

You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. As a rule of thumb, you should drink a half ounce of water for every pound of body weight, unless you're very active, in which case you should increase your water intake to two-thirds an ounce per pound of body weight daily.

Thus, if you weigh 120 lbs., you need to take 60 oz. of water, or a little less than 2 quarts or 8 glasses of water. If you are 210 lbs, you need to take 105 oz of water, or about 7 quarts or 13 glasses of water.

8 oz = 1 regular glass of water
32 oz = one quart (4 glasses of water)
128 oz = one gallon (16 glasses of water)

Getting enough water

But this might not be enough. Do not use the thirst mechanism as a gauge to judge hydration. The thirst mechanism kicks in only after we've lost about 6 percent of water weight -- way too late to prevent dehydration. The problem of getting enough water becomes more common in late adulthood, because our need for water actually increases. Our skin and mucous membranes become thinner and lose more water, and our kidneys function less efficiently, so our need for water increases. While a person under age 50 should drink 8 glasses of water a day, 10 glasses are advised for those in their fifties and 10-12 eight oz glasses for active people 60 and over. Also, older people don't feel thirst the way a younger person does, so if your are older, you have to get in the habit of drinking water even if they're not thirsty.



Dieting

Water is closely connected to fat gain and loss. This has nothing to do with water retention. Water doesn't have any calories, but.....

When the body begins to run low of any vital nutrient -- even water -- it will trigger hunger to motivate you to go get some more of whatever it needs. This is true for water because most foods provide some amount of water. It can, however, provide many unneeded calories. The thirst sensation is not a reliable way to decide when to drink water. You may often feel the need for water as hunger instead of as thirst.

When dieting, it is important to consciously drink water to make sure you get enough.

Water is a necessary part of the body’s fat utilization process. Water assists the body in metabolizing stored fat because your liver, which metabolizes fat, becomes overloaded when your kidneys don’t get enough water. Your liver’s fat processing function is compromised when it has to do the kidneys’ job as well. Water also helps suppress appetite and relieve fluid retention problems.

There is a common water strategy used by dieters to drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning and then every two hours - whether you feel like it or not. Just make it part of your routine.

Remember that low-calorie sodas cannot be substituted for water and in some cases can have a negative effect on dieting. See our article on Soda

You also have to remember that the need for water can be aggravated by common substances that suppress thirst such as coffee, tea, alcohol and some drugs.

You also need to drink more water when you are taking herbs.


Situations involving our need for water:

Dehydration:

We have to be careful of this in a lot of circumstances. When flying in an airplane, your body can become dehydrated. Make sure you drink a glass of water for each hour you spend in the air. When you have the flu, you need to drink plenty of water to replace the fluids you lose through sweating and vomiting. Constipation is a sign of not drinking enough water. Caffeine can also cause dehydration. See Caffeine.

Sports & Exercise:

Several days before an event, competitive athletes should 'hyper-hydrate', Hyper-hydration is the process of drinking plenty of water for two to three days before an athletic event. The body is about 60 percent water and it needs to be fully hydrated to perform optimally. When the outside temperature or humidity is especially high, the body requires even more water because it must work harder to cool itself.

Water retention:

Fluid retention can be caused by excess salt intake. Drink plenty of water to help flush out the salt. You also need potassium to balance out the salt/potassium ratio. See article on Salt

Indigestion:

Water is also valuable as a digestive aid especially when combined with activated charcoal. This type of charcoal is available Added to a glass of water, charcoal provides quick relief from most gastric discomfort. Mixed with enough water to form a paste, its great first aid for sprains and insect bites.

Bad Breath:

Drinking lots of water and peppermint tea with a pinch of anise, caraway or cinnamon.

Gallstones:

Water is needed to flush the liver and dilute the bile. Without enough water the bile secretions can turn into gallstones. For additional information see the article Gall bladder for this sort of problem

Kidney stones:

Water helps decrease the concentration of the stone-forming elements in the urine.

Urinary tract infections:

People who get infections usually don't get enough water. The urine sits in the bladder too long and bacteria can build up. Drinking lots of water will flush out the bacteria. Drinking water won't cure an already established infection, but it can make urinating more comfortable and is a barrier to a recurrence.

Gout:

Drinking lots of water keeps urine dilute and promotes the excretion of uric acid. Gout is caused by the formation of sharp crystals of uric acid forming in the fluid of the joint.

Where we get our water:

Obtaining quality water would seem to be an easy matter, however, there are different types of water.

Tap Water:

Many people assume that when they turn on their kitchen tap, they are getting clean, safe, healthy drinking water. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. Regardless of the origin of the tap water, it is vulnerable to a number of different types of impurities. Leaching from pipes may give the water dangerous levels of cooper, iron, zinc and arsenic. Other undesirable substances found in water, include radon, fluoride, and cooper, and other heavy metals. Other contaminants, such as fertilizers, asbestos, cyanides, herbicides, pesticides and industrial chemicals may leach into ground water through the soil, or into any tap water from plumbing pipes. Although the body uses these minerals in trace amounts, it can not be used in this form. Other substances including chlorine, carbon, lime, phosphates, soda ash, and aluminum sulfate, are intentionally added to public water supplies to kill bacteria, adjust pH, and eliminate cloudiness, among other things.

Strange smells or tastes in water that was previously fine could mean chemical contamination, however, many toxic hazards that work their way into the water do not change its taste, smell or appearance.

Flouride, a common addition to our drinking water, is yet another enemy of magnesium., it can change it into an unusable compound that is rejected as a waste product. Ironically, this flouride is supposed to protect our teeth against decay, yet it results in loss of one of the very minerals our teeth need for the hard enamel that keeps them from decay. Much of our tap water is a chemical soup these days, so for more reasons than simply flouride content, drinking pure spring water might be a good idea.

Chlorine used as a disinfectant to rid water of harmful bacteria, combines with naturally occurring organic matter to form trihalomethanes - compounds suspected of contributing to cancer.

Impure Water:

What is your drinking water like? IS it free of toxic metals like lead? Is its mineral content well balanced? Any mineral in excess, sodium for example, can cause illness when ingested over long periods of time. Impure water is an environmental stress of which you are often not even aware. Such stress can deplete your store of vitamin E.

Water with aluminum in it has been thought to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, although this connection is still a controversial subject. This is another reason to drink pure water. Aluminum can be gotten from impure water, although drinking from aluminum cans and aluminum cookware might be a problem. It is felt that aluminum cans are coated with plastic to prevent the acid from the soda or juice from breaking down the aluminum. Sticking with glass or plastic containers is, however, an extra precaution.

Bottled water comes in many forms:

To meet the needs of a thirsty population, the variety of water products, from spring water to distilled to sparkling and flavored brands, is on the increase. Bottled water can be classified by use - a basic drinking water or a specialty beverage; by its source - spring, well water, or public water supply; and by the presence of carbonation. Read the labels of any bottled water you buy. You may find that the bottle of "spring water" you bought actually came from a municipal water supply.

The United States FDA truth-in-labeling requirements are clear, nonetheless, some bottlers still make erroneous claims.

Bottled water is required to meet the same quality standards and purity standards as public drinking water. FDA guidelines for imported waters require that the water be obtained from sources free of pollution, bottled under sanitary conditions, free from microorganisms. Bottled water generally, but not always have fewer contaminants than tap water because of different purifying methods employed along with filtration and aeration. Ozone is used in bottled water instead of chlorine as a disinfectant. Unlike chlorine, ozone does not combine with organic material to form triholomethanes, nor does it have an aftertaste or odor that occurs with chlorine.

For health's sake, make sure that the water you drink is as pure as you can get.

What is the difference between sex and gender?

Sex = male and female

Gender = masculine and feminine

So in essence:

Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.

Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

So while your sex as male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means in terms of your gender role as a 'man' or a 'woman' in society can be quite different cross culturally. These 'gender roles' have an impact on the health of the individual.

In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:

'man' = male sex+ masculine social role

(a 'real man', 'masculine' or 'manly')

'woman' = female sex + feminine social role

(a 'real woman', 'feminine' or 'womanly')

Who's the real ENEMY?

Assalamualaikum everybody especially Malaysian, well I'm here to proceed writing about whats happening in past is going to be worst in future, I mean its really happening now. Kuasa rakyat untuk menentukan masa hadapan sudar samar akibat kuasa orang yang berduit mengambil alih segalanya.Saya masih tertanya, adakah kita sebenarnya hidup di negara yang sudah maju seperti negara besar dia Asia seperti Jepun atau setanding negara lain seperti America dan British? ataupun kita masih duduk di negara yang ketiga (3rd world country)? Saya nampak negara kita ada bangunan kebanggaan bangunan pencakar langit iaitu KLCC Twin Tower( Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre) yang dahulunya dibina untuk menjadikan tempat Petronas tetapi sekarang disewa oleh company foreigner akibat sewanya terlalu mahal untuk company Malaysia untuk sewa. Tetapi jalan raya kita masih macam huru-hara dan struktur binaannya tidak menepati kehendak pengguna. Saya juga tertanya apakah tujuan tol dibina? adakah untuk mengelakkan drpd traffic jam atau untuk menambah duit poket orang-orang yang tak sepatutnya saya sebut? Dan orang yang uruskan bahagian jalan raya sepatutnya planning bebetul pasal kita sebagai pengguna mengharap dengar bayar rm1 untuk elakkan jammed sekali tersangkut juga ngan mereka yang tak perlu bayar apa-apa. malah, saya hanya membazirkan duit saya hanya untuk sia-sia jerlah. rm1 tue pun dah kira tinggi untuk kami yang hanya kerja bergnatung kepada komisen. Tetapi mereka yang terpilih sepatutnya mencari idea atau iktihar untuk selesaikan masalah ini. tetapi mereka hanya sibuk mengejar pangkat dan kuasa. Sekali lagi, saya lakukan ini bukan untuk menghasut atau cari pasal dengan sesiapa pun tetapi sendiri fikirlah, kerana ini adalah negara demokrasi, suara rakyat perlu didengar. sebarang komen kita perlu hargai bukan maki. Saya dulu memandang tinggi kepada pemimpin BN tetapi tidak lagi. orang yang saya respect sampai sekarang adalah Tun Dr Mahathir kerana tanpa dia siapalah kami. Malaysia tak akan dapat nama tanpa Beliau. Namun, kerana sesetengah yang lalai dengan apa yang sepatutnya dia laksanakan, rakyat makin memandang serong kepada individu tertentu. Dan rakyat juga tertindas,dan yang kaya memijak kepala kami yang kelas bawahan sahaja. Saya tidak menyatakan saya adalah siapa, cuma kita balik kepada Alif,iaitu agama. Dalam agama Islam, semua manusia adalah sama. tiada yang dapat membezakan antara aku dan kau. Allah beri semua dengan adil, yang tidak adil adalah hati kita yang tamak dan suka makan darah daging saudara. Saya bukan nak cakap saya ni baik tetapi saya juga ada buruk juga. hidup saya dulu ibarat yin yang. Ada baik dan adanya buruk. Tetapi kita yang pemimpin sepatut dipilih daripada golongan yang bijak mengatasi masalah, yang alim dan taat kepada ajaran Allah, yang tahu hukum hakam tersebut dan juga tahu apa halal dan haram. Bukan yang kaya jadi pemimpin. jadi kita renungkanlah lagi dan saya akan sambung lagi.....

HAppy belated NEW YEAR!!!

Assalamualaikum everybody, sorry pasal tetiba tulis pasal hal ni. Alhamdulillah kita sudah pun masuk tahun yang baru beberapa hari yang lepas jadi nak tulis serba sikit pasal apa yang berlaku pada tahun lepas akan lagi teruk pada tahun ini. memandangkan isu politik memang hangat lagi hangat drpd taik bakar jadi masing-masing mempunyai pendapat sendiri dan tahu apa yang baik dan buruk tetapi kita kena ingat yang kita adalah manusia dan bukannya anjing. kita ada akal diberi pemikiran yang waras untuk memikir apa yang baik untuk negara,bukannya untuk diri sendiri. kalau kita nak kepentingan diri sendiri itu dah melampau pasal ini adalah negara demokrasi bukannya republik macam negara lain yang tidak memandang sirius tentang rakyat mereka sendiri. Dari situ timbul pelbagai ideologi yang ingin menentang kerajaan. Apa yang saya ingin cuba sampaikan manusia sekarang lebih kepada mengejar pangkat dan harta drpd menjalankan amanah yang sepatutnya. mereka yang dipilih berdasarkan atas kepercayaan rakyat kepada mereka.Mereka termakan janji janji yang diberi oleh wakil wakil rakyat yang ingin mencari kekayaan dan kepuasan sendiri. Kita sebagai rakyat kita kena faham, semua parti adalah sama, yang bezanya adalah pemikiran kita sendiri. kita vote/ndi parti tue bukannya kerana kita tahu parti tu popular ke apa but kerana wakil drpd parti itu sendiri. jadi bila kita lihat, semua wakil rakyat sama sahaja tak ada beza antara parti pembangkang ke apa, itu yang berlakunya rakyat mengelakkan diri drpd mengundi kerana mereka tidak mahu menjadi perkhianat negara, bersubahat untuk merosakkan agama, bangsa dan tanah air sendiri. saya cakap bukan saya mementingkan bangsa saya iaitu bangsa melayu sendiri, tetapi saya bersuara untuk semua bangsa(kecuali foreigner pasal diaorang tak layak ada dimuka bumi Malaysia ini. ini hak kami bukan hak mereka. Asal ada duit boleh masuk negara orang rosakkan anak gadis dan akhlak orang Malaysia ngan dadah lah inilah itulah.) Seperti isu SUK semua, kita faham tugas SUK adalah seorang ahli bebas yang tidak mengundi mana-mana parti pun tetapi kita kena faham, once kita diberi tugas oleh menteri besar, kita perlu laksanakan ngan jujur dan amanah dan ikhlas. pasal itu adalah amanat drpd orang atas kita. kalau kita ingkar serupa bikin kita melakukan anarki di negara sendiri. dan ahli pembangkang juga perlu ada sifat hormat kepada Sultan dan perlu bercakap ngan nada yang betul, bukannya melakukan kucar kacir dan bagi orang lain tgk bertapa bangangnya kita, rakyat Malaysia. dan orang orang atasan perlu diingati sekali lagi, kuasa adalah ditangan rakyat bukannya di tangan anda, rakyat boleh jatuhkan anda bila bila masa tetapi rakyta taknak kerana ada kuasa besar yang support anda supaya ada tak hilang title. kita kalau ingin maju perlu buat sesuatu perubahan yang tidak akan menjejaskan ekonomi negara kita. Seperti di negara lain, mereka support orang atas itu dan percaya tetapi bila mereka tgk tiada perubahan mereka ubah perdana menteri mereka tetapi tidak sedikit menjejaskan ekonomi mereka. Kenapa kita tidak berani untuk berbuat demikian? adakah kita takut kehilangan pangkat yang kita dapat yang kita tahu hanya untuk sementara? Ingat, Allah anytime boleh tarik apa yang Dia pinjamkan kepada kita semua. Kita mesti ada sifat-sifat seperti Rasulullah iaitu Amanah, Tabligh, Fathonah dan Siddiq. .jadi fikirlah sendiri renungkanlah.to be continue....





P/S: Tiada unsur hasutan yang dibuat dan saya jamin saya hanya ingin orang buka mata dan minda dan jangan jadi pekak. jika ada salah silap saya terima teguran drpd anda.

Tips to Persuade Clients to Buy: Potential Client Motivators!

Sometimes clients want to buy certain products, but they may need to be persuaded before they can make a decision. By observing them keenly and understanding what is going on with them, you can determine what it will take to persuade them to go ahead with the purchase.

Given below are five motivating tools that persuade clients to buy products and services from any small business.
They Need The Product

Many times clients want a product, but if you can convince them that they really need that product and that their life will be incomplete if they don’t own it, then that will convert their want into a need to buy it.

Once they are convinced that they need the product, your sale is as good as completed.
They Will Save Time, Money And Energy

Your clients will be motivated if they believe that buying the product will save time and energy, as well as money. You can also remind them that the money they spend purchasing the product will be recovered after a certain period of time.

For example, most kitchen appliances are advertised and marketed to potential customers in this way. Even air-conditioners can be promoted effectively if it can be shown that they help to cut down on customers’ electricity bills.

Many items can be sold on the basis of cost-savings, with added benefits such as safety and convenience.
Safety

If you are selling safety items such as safes, fire equipment, etc., stress the benefits of safety for their money and valuables, but also remind them that the product can prevent the loss of their prized possessions and keep their loved ones safe.

The automobile industry is a good example of this. With cars, safety features are important selling points. People are ready to pay a premium for an increase in safety, especially for their loved ones.
Exclusiveness

Expensive cell phones, cars, and clothing are bought by customers who want to stand out from the rest of the crowd. Many customers with lots of money also spend it to satisfy their own egos. This is one of the major reasons that high-fashion items continue to sell well.

An exclusive item is usually made in limited numbers or is custom-made for selected clients and is usually quite expensive. This feature in itself is enough for many of your clients to want to own an exclusive product that your business offers.
Convenience

Many items, such as dishwashers and washing machines, are sold because of their convenience. These products help save their owners physical effort and make their lives easier.

Products that are used on a daily basis fall into this category - and once you explain the features or arrange a demonstration of products such as these for your customers, it will become very easy to sell them.

In many cases, your customers need to be motivated - and once you link your product with the correct motivation, you will find that less effort is required to sell them.

Selling products also involves understanding your potential clients and altering your sales pitch to match their desires, wants, and needs.

Apa itu baiah/baiat?

Jika 313 merujuk kepada Surah 3, ayat 13: Sesungguhnya telah ada satu tanda (bukti) bagi kamu pada (peristiwa) dua pasukan yang telah bertemu (di medan perang); satu pasukan (orang-orang Islam) berperang pada jalan Allah (kerana mempertahankan agama Allah) dan yang satu lagi dari golongan kafir musyrik. Mereka (yang kafir itu) melihat orang-orang Islam dengan pandangan mata biasa dua kali ramainya berbanding dengan mereka sendiri dan Allah sentiasa menguatkan sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dengan memberikan pertolonganNya. Sesungguhnya pada peristiwa itu terdapat satu pengajaran yang memberi insaf bagi orang-orang yang berfikiran (yang celik mata hatinya).Al-Imran ayat 13 Maksud surah Al-Imran ayat 13 amat sesuai sekali dengan isu semasa di Malaysia ini.

Jika 313 merujuk pula kepada Surah 31, ayat 3: Menjadi hidayat petunjuk dan rahmat bagi orang-orang yang sedia mengerjakan amal-amal yang baik.-Surah Luqman ayat 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sejarah ringkas baiah tentera fi sabilillah:

Baiah merupakan perjanjian untuk memberi ketaatan, manakala orang yang melakukannya seolah-olah membuat janji setia untuk menyerahkan dirinya dan urusan kaum Muslimin kepada amir atau ketuanya. Ianya merupakan perbuatan sunnah Nabi S.A.W.

1) BAI’AH ‘AQABAH

Sebelum berlaku peristiwa Hijrah, sejarah mencatatkan bahawa pada musim haji 620 – 621 M (Orang Arab Jahiliyyah setiap tahun masih melakukan upacara haji, tetapi telah menyeleweng daripada syariah Nabi Ibrahim dan Ismail) beberapa orang tokoh Islam Madinah telah menyatakan simpati dan berikrar menyokong serta memberikan sumpah setianya kepada baginda Rasulullah SAW apabila baginda berhijrah ke Madinah untuk mengembangkan agama Islam dari sana.

Sumpah setia mereka ini dinamakan “bai’ah” dan berlangsung di satu lembah berhampiran dengan Makkah yang bernama ‘Aqabah sehingga perjanjian taat setia ini di kenali dengan “bai’ah ‘Aqabah” yang terkenal dalam sejarah.

Ubadah bin Shamit meriwayatkan bahawa “Rasulullah SAW mengambil sumpah setia kami pada malam pertama di ‘Aqabah, bahawasanya kami tidak akan mempersekutukan Allah dengan apa pun juga, tidak akan mencuri, tidak akan berzina, tidak akan membunuh anak-anak kami, tidak akan berdusta, melindungi apa saja yang ada di depan atau di belakang kami dan tidak membantah perintah baginda dalam hal kebajikan.”

Ketika itu Rasulullah SAW bersabda :
Jika kamu sekalian menunaikan semua janji itu, maka kamu akan mendapat syurga, (tetapi) jika kamu memungkiri sebarang janji tersebut, maka kamu akan dikenakan hukum dunia (dalam bentuk) kaffarah (denda). Dan jika kamu mengingkari janji itu secara senyap-senyap hingga hari kiamat, maka hal itu kembalilah kepada Allah, jika dikehendaki-Nya kamu akan diseksa, dan jika dikehendaki-Nya juga, kamu akan diampunkan. (Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Ikrar taat setia dan sumpah janji para muslimin dari Madinah dalam upacara Bai’ah ‘Aqabah itu merupakan ikrar mereka untuk melaksanakan tatacara kehidupan sebagai satu umat muslimin yang berbeza daripada cara hidup kaum musyrikin yang menyekutukan Tuhan dan menjalani gejala hidup jahiliyyah yang bertentangan dengan ajaran dan nilai kerohanian Islam. Malah lebih penting lagi dalam perjanjian itu ialah taat setia mereka kepada Rasulullah SAW dalam mengerjakan segala amalan kebajikan mereka.

Gejala hidup mereka yang merupakan keganasan, membunuh sesama manusia, membunuh anak perempuan yang dilahirkan, mencuri, berzina dan perbuatan mungkar lainnya haruslah ditinggalkan sama sekali dalam kehidupan seorang muslim. Segala kemungkaran yang disebutkan dalam ikrar ini adalah ibu segala dosa dan punca kepada kehancuran manusia di dunia ini. Sebab itulah Rasulullah SAW memberi amaran kepada mereka supaya apa yang mereka ikrarkan itu hendaklah direalisasikan dan diamalkan dalam kehidupan mereka, dan mengingkarinya merupakan suatu kesalahan yang boleh dikenakan hukuman dunia. Sekiranya dilakukannya secara rahsia, maka terserahlah kepada Allah SWT untuk membalasnya di akhirat nanti.

Sumpah taat setia seperti yang tercatat di atas adalah merupakan bai’ah pertama antara Muslimin Madinah dengan Rasulullah SAW. Selepas perjanjian pertama ini, maka kaum Ansar itu pun berangkat pulang ke Madinah, dan Rasulullah SAW mengutuskan seorang sahabat kepercayaannya turut serta bersama-sama mereka ke Madinah dengan diberikan tanggungjawab untuk mendidik masyarakat Madinah bagi memahami ajaran Islam dan kandungan kitab suci al-Quran. Utusan yang dihantarkan itu ialah Mush’ab bin ‘Umair. Beliau juga ditugaskan untuk menyaksikan perkembangan penyebaran agama Islam di Madinah.

Dicatatkan juga dalam sejarah bahawa Mush’ab bin ‘Umair telah berjaya menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik, dan beliau kembali ke Makkah setahun kemudian iaitu menjelangnya musim haji berikutnya, serta melaporkan kepada Rasulullah SAW tentang sambutan baik penduduk Madinah terhadap Islam. Malah sebagai hasilnya Rasulullah SAW akan menyaksikan ketibaan rombongan ke Makkah bagi kali yang kedua pada musim haji itu sebagai rombongan yang akan menyembahkan taat setia kepada baginda.

2)BAI’AH AQABAH AL-KUBRA
Tiba masanya maka rombongan dari Madinah itu pun datanglah buat kali kedua bertemu dengan Rasulullah SAW, dan yang menariknya, mengikut sesetengah riwayat bahawa dalam rombongan ini terdapat dua orang wanita, iaitu Nasibah binti Ka’ab dan Asma’ binti ‘Amr bin ‘Adiy.

Satu kelainan dalam pertemuan kedua ini ialah permintaan baginda Rasulullah SAW supaya rombongan kedua ini hendaklah mengandungi 12 orang daripada mereka yang bertindak sebagai wakil daripada kabilah masing-masing, termasuk kabilah Khazraj dan Aus.

Rasulullah bersabda kepada mereka yang bermaksud :
“Kamu selaku pemimpin di atas kabilah masing-masing adalah bertanggungjawab atas keselamatan kabilahnya sendiri, sebagaimana Hawariyyin (12 orang murid Nabi Isa AS) bertanggungjawab atas keselamatan Isa putra Maryam, sedangkan aku bertanggung jawab atas kaumku sendiri (iaitu kaum Muslimin Makkah).”

Peristiwa bai’ah ‘Aqabah yang kedua ini mempunyai kepentingannya yang tersendiri, maka sebab itulah peristiwa ini disebut sebagai Bai’ah ‘Aqabah al-Kubra, iaitu perjanjian ‘Aqabah yang terbesar.


3) Baiah Tentera Fisabilillah (Perang Badar)
Bai’ah taat setia Sahabat bersama Rasulullah s.a.w:
Maka Sa’ad bin Muaz pun berkata: “Demi Allah, kamu seolah-olah hendakkan kami wahai Utusan Allah.” Nabi s.a.w. menjawab: “Benar.” Berkata Sa’ad: “Seseungguhnya kami telah beriman dan membenarkan kamu, kami telah menyaksikan apa yang kamu bawa adalah benar belaka, dan kami menyatakan janji dan taat setia kami kepadamu, maka lakukanlah apa yang kamu kehendaki, kami akan bersamamu, dan demi Yang Mengutuskan kamu (Allah) dengan kebenaran, jika engkau membentangkan kepada kami lautan ini dan engkau menyeberanginya nescaya kami juga akan mengharunginya bersama kamu.”

Lalu Rasulullah s.a.w. berpegang dengan apa yang dikatakan Sa’ad sambil berkata: “Berangkatlah (berjuanglah pada jalan Allah) dan bergembiralah, sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T. telah menjanjikan kepadaku salah satu daripada dua puak…Demi Allah, seolah-olah sekarang aku melihat kepada kehancuran satu kaum (pihak musuh).”
Rasulullah telah memilih 313 orang untuk dibaiah kan....

Perang Badar Al-Kubra adalah antara peristiwa penting dalam sejarah Islam yang berlaku pada Ramadan. Perang itu berlaku pada tahun kedua Hijrah, menyaksikan pertembungan antara tentera Islam yang disertai 313 orang dengan bala tentera kafir Musyrikin seramai 1,000 orang.Jumlah tentera yang tidak seimbang itu menyebabkan Rasulullah berdoa kepada Allah sambil bermunajat: "Ya Allah! Ya Tuhanku! Perkenankan apa yang telah Engkau janjikan kepadaku. Ya Allah! Ya Tuhanku! Jika jemaah Islam ini binasa, maka tidak akan ada lagi orang yang akan menyembahMu di bumi ini."

Baginda terus berdoa sehingga selendangnya jatuh daripada bahunya. Lantas datang Abu Bakar As-Siddiq mengambil selendang itu, lalu meletakkannya kembali pada bahu Baginda. Kemudian beliau berdiri di belakang Rasulullah seraya berkata: "Wahai Nabi Allah! Cukuplah doamu itu kepada Allah. Mudah-mudahan Allah akan makbulkan permintaanmu dan akan penuhi janjiNya kepadamu."

Selepas itu, turun wahyu yang bermaksud: "(Ingatlah) ketika kamu memohon pertolongan kepada Tuhan kamu, lalu Allah perkenankan permohonan kamu (dengan firmanNya): Sesungguhnya Aku akan membantu kamu dengan seribu (bala tentera) daripada malaikat yang datang berturut-turut." - (Surah Al-Anfal 8:9)

Para pejuang Badar ini telah dimuliakan Allah di dunia dan di akhirat.
