Dalam satu kelas Dr Muhammad Arif, beliau bertanya mengenai tahun 1492.
“Ada dua peristiwa besar yang berlaku 1492. Apakah dia?”
Saya cuba mengingati apa-apa peristiwa yang berlaku. Tetapi saya akui, saya memang lemah mengingati tarikh biarpun sejarah adalah subjek kegemaran saya.
Melihatkan satu kelas senyap tanpa jawapan (situasi biasa dalam mana-mana kelas di Malaysia, barangkali. Maaf kalau telahan saya salah), dia memberikan jawapan.
“Ada dua peristiwa penting sebenarnya. Pertama, pada 1492, Christopher Colombus menemui kepulauan Hindi yang dikatakannya sebagai Amerika,” katanya.
“Peristiwa yan kedua ialah kejatuhan kerajaan Islam di Sepanyol a.k.a Andalusia.” Dia menyambung. Kami terdiam. Kemudia dia bertanya lagi, “Apakah yang berlaku pada 1992?” satu lagi soalannya. “Ada satu peristiwa penting berlaku didunia,” dia menyambung.
Saya cuba mengorek ingatan. Ketika itu saya berada dalam tingkatan dua. Rasanya saya sudah celik dengan siasah dunia. Tetapi saya tidak mampu mengingat apa-apa.
“Pada tahun 1992, Sukan Olimpik berlangsung di Barcelona, Sepanyol. Kamu tahu kenapa ia diadakan di Sepanyol?”
Kelas masih lagi senyap tanpa jawapan.
“Kerana mereka mahu merayakan ulangtahun ke-500 kejatuhan Islam di Sepanyol!”
Oh! Dan saya masih terlalu naif pada 1992!

Dendam mereka terhadap orang Islam sehingg kini. Walupun kerja Islamlah yang telah membawa kemajuan kepada Andalusia.
Saya cadangkan baca buku Islam In Andalus, tenatng sejarah orang Islam di Sepanyol.

Terima kasih. Banyak info yang saya dapat dari situ. Insay allah, akan usahakan untuk mendapatkannya. Memang sedih bila lihat Islam tinggal nama sahaj di Sepanyol!
