Byzantine Empire → Mistake: Allowing the Fourth Crusade to sack Constantinople in 1204. 3.

The Merciful Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] As A Match-maker of Hazrat Julaybib

  The Merciful Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] As A Match-maker of Hazrat Julaybib Hazrat Julaybib (رضي الله عنه) was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). His name is not often mentioned but his life is deeply inspiring. His story shows the mercy of the Prophet, the equality taught by Islam and the truth that real value lies in faith and character, not in looks or social status.   Tribe and background: The family background of Julaybib was unknown. There is no record of his parents or his tribe. In Arab society at that time, this was a serious disadvantage because tribes gave protection, respect and support. He was an Arab and lived among the Ansar of Madinah. Some reports say he may have come from a distant tribe and later settled in Madinah. Because he was poor, had no known lineage and looked different, people ignored him and mocked him. Even children made fun of him. Some people did not allow him to enter their homes.   Appearance: The name Julaybib comes from the Arabic ...

The Courage of a Mother

      The Courage of a Mother Abdullah bin Zubair (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) went to his mother, Asma bint Abu Bakr Siddiq (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا), and said to her: *I have been left with no one to support me. Only five persons, worth the name of friends, are with me, who have supported me until now. The people have betrayed me just as they betrayed Husain bin Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ). Their sons fought with their swords in front of their fathers only as long as they lived. My sons also went over to the wicked. Now Hajjaj tells me, “You too come under my security, and I shall give you all you demand.” I have therefore come to you to seek your advice. Asma (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا) replied: *You understand your problem better than I do. If you are on the right path and invite people to it, keep doing it. Your friends died on this right path; you should also remain steadfast on it and meet your martyrdom. If you had intended to seek worldly prosperity, you are a great ...

The Dream or Deception of Going to Mars?

  The Dream or Deception of Going to Mars? The promises to go to the Moon and Mars have been made and broken by astronauts since the 1940s. Some people became billionaires by deceiving the world through such ideas. The colonialists conquered Africa and Asia in the 16th century CE and are exploiting these continents directly or indirectly to this day. They did not stop going to Africa and Asia but one wonders why they would stop sending humans to the Moon. Anyway, let us learn when this idea of going to the Moon and Mars entered the minds of people. Main Milestones in Human Efforts to Reach the Moon  Historical Planning and Cold War Era (1950s-1970s) - 1961: US President Kennedy commits to landing a man on the Moon by the decade's end, launching the Apollo programme; the Soviet Union announces manned lunar plans. - 1968: Apollo 8 — First humans orbit the Moon (Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, Bill Anders). - 1969: Apollo 11 — First crewed landing (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin; Michael ...

Raise your voice to save your Future

  Raise your voice to save your Future Not even ten per cent of parents are truly happy with the behaviour of their wards. Our education system is collapsing because of the following #reasons: – Kindergarten children are entertained with songs and dance and their impressionable age is harmed by undesirable exposure. – No student is failed up to Class 10. – No teacher or principal is allowed to advise a student regarding improper dress, behaviour or negligence of studies. Question papers of competitive examinations are leaked before the scheduled date and seats in most medical and engineering colleges are either bought or allotted to favourites. Students are indulging in adult activities under the very nose of helpless teachers and parents.  School managements and their spoons are financially and emotionally exploiting the staff in every possible way. When a teacher arrives a few seconds late, her salary is deducted, yet the same teacher is forced to stay back after school hour...
