Izindela nezakhamuzi zishayisana e-Assiut encane

I-Assiut iyidolobha elincane, elibekelwe izivakashi, elinokuthula e-Egypt elinezindawo ezimbalwa ezikhangayo ze-post-Pharaonic ezithola ukunakwa kwezivakashi okusabalele. Kokunye, i-Al Muharraq Monastery eduze nohlangothi olusentshonalanga yeQusqam, amakhilomitha angaba ngu-50 enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Assiut, iyindlu yezindela enezinqaba engamamitha angu-12 eyakhiwe ngu-Anba Pachoimous ekuqaleni kwekhulunyaka.

Kuhlanganisa isonto elidala kunawo wonke elangcweliswa emhlabeni wobuKristu ngo-38 AD (nenqaba eyakhiwa kamuva yiNkosi uXenon ngo-474 AD), ilandelwa yiBandla likaMar Girgis elakhiwa ngo-1898 futhi kamuva, iBandla leNcasakazi eNgcwele elakhiwa ngoMashi. 1960. Kukholakala ukuthi uMndeni Ongcwele wavakashela le ndawo izinyanga eziyisithupha nezinsuku eziyi-10 ngemva kokubaleka ePalestine endleleni eya eGibhithe.

Ngeshwa, kamuva nje uchungechunge lwemibiko ephazamisayo mayelana nokungqubuzana phakathi kwezindela ezivela e-al-Muharraq Monastery kanye nomndeni ohlala eHalim Pasha Dus villa kuthinte ezokuvakasha kule ndawo. Lo mdonsiswano ususwe yizingxabano ezithinta ubunikazi bendawo yangasese. NgokukaMamdouh Thabit we-Al Mis al Youm, izingxabano zenzeke ngemuva kombuthano omncane wezindela ezingaba ngu-25 engadini yendlu kaDus. Babethi ukubuyiselwa le ndawo njengesipho sesigodlo. Izindela zakugxeka ukusabela okungekuhle kwamaphoyisa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amalungu omndeni wabahlali aqinisekisile ukuthi bane-villa kusukela ngo-1942, besekela isimangalo sabo ngokuqinile ngemibhalo.

Ngokuphambene nalokho, uBaba uPachoimous, unobhala wesigodlo, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi isizathu somhlangano oyimfihlo wezindela ukuvikela iminikelo yezindela umndeni ofuna ukuyithumba ngemibhalo engumgunyathi. Umfundisi uveza ukuthi isigodlo sinezincwadi zobunikazi/itayitela futhi siyawazi amaqembu angempela adala uqhekeko olungase lube lubi uma lungaxazululwa maduze, kusho uThabit.

Naphezu kokuthi kuthiwa iyindawo yokukhulekela nokuthula kwangaphakathi, i-Al-Muharraq Monastery ibonakala iqalekisiwe ngodlame lwamahlelo futhi ithwele kanzima ngezinkinga zokwehlukana ngokwenkolo. Esikhathini esingeside esidlule, ubaba uPhiloxenos we-Al-Muharraq Monastery wathi amaKristu akufanele avakashele eJerusalema ngaphandle kwabafowabo abangamaSulumane. Ngakho wengeza ukuthi i-Al-Muharraq Monastery iyinketho yesibili yabahambi. Wathi lokhu kuchaza ukuthi kungani izindonga zalo zakhiwe ngendlela efanayo nezindonga zaseJerusalema. Umbono osemthethweni weSonto Lobu-Orthodox LamaCopt ukuthi uhambo lokuya esigodlweni sezindela sase-Al-Muharraq lulingana nohambo oluya eJerusalema.

Inkolo ihlale ibonakala yenza umehluko phakathi kwabantu basesigodini esincane sezivakashi sase-Assiut namanye amaqembu. Kodwa-ke, kukhona ukuhlukana kweCoptic neMuslim okubonakala kufiphala phakathi - ngenhlanhla. Lamakholwa ahlala ndawonye kulo muzi.

Ngaphandle kwezici zesiCoptic zedolobha, i-Assiut inamaphuzu amaningi amaSulumane okuhlanganisa ne-Al Farrgal Mosque yase-Abu Tig, eqhele ngamakhilomitha angama-27 eningizimu yedolobha. Ingelinye lama-mosque amakhulu kakhulu e-Upper Egypt. I-Al Farrgal ibonakala ngama-minarets amabili ethuneni lika-Mohamed Al Farrgal, omunye wabantu abahamba phambili emhlabeni wamaSulumane. Emgwaqweni u-Al Thawra kumi i-Fouad Institute eyasungulwa yinkosi yaseGibhithe uFouad.

Yaqala ukwakhiwa ngo-1928 futhi yethulwa ngo-1938 ubukhosi, isakhiwo sesitayela samaSulumane sibamba abafundi abanolwazi lwezomthetho ku-Islam nesayensi. Esigodini saseDashlout, iDairout ilele i-Abu Al Oyoon Mosque, 7k km enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Assiut. Ngezakhiwo eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, i-mosque igcina ithuna likaSheikh Ibrahim Abu Al Oyoon, umzukulu ka-Ibrahim Abu Al Oyoon Al Sharif Al Magrabi owasuka eMorocco waya eGibhithe ngo-1926 AD. Ekugcineni, i-Al Mugahedeen Mosque eyasungulwa e-Assiut ngezinsuku zase-Ottoman cishe ngo-1706 AD, iyitshe lesikhumbuzo elasungulwa ngu-Mohamed Bey, elakhiwe ngomklamo ohlukile wase-Ottoman, one-minaret ephakeme kakhulu, ehlotshiswe ngokucebile ngemfashini evamile kaMamlouk.

Uma umhlaba wamaSulumane ugxile kuHajj ne-Umrah, abahambi bahamba befuna izinketho zokuvakasha zangemva kweMecca kule ndawo esafufusa, yaseGibhithe efana ne-Assiut.

Khonamanjalo, amaCopt alwa nezindaba zokungqubuzana phakathi kwabanikazi bezakhiwo abavamile namadoda okufanele asakaza ukuthula e-Assiut.
