  The deeds that will help to be Allah's - Maksudur Rahman Simon Rashidi ━━━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━━━ Shaikhul-Arab All-Azam Arefbillah Maulana Shah Hakeem Akhtar Said, One of my servants saw the Prophet in a dream and the Prophet was standing on the roof of a room saying in a loud voice, if a person performs four deeds. Then he will die as a saint of Allah. 1. If a person keeps a fist on the door. 2. If any personCircumcision wears clothes. 3. If a person protects himself daily from evil eye. 4. If a person protects his inner self. That is, pride, worldliness, backbiting, lying, slandering, living from the sins of lust, keeping oneself free from all these sins. Then he will become a saint of Allah. There are many descriptions in the Quran and Hadith about the importance of virtues. Narrated by Abu Huraira (RA), heRasulullah (s.a.w.) said, "Surely Allah is holy, He does not accept anything other than holy things. " And certainly, what Allah commanded His Messengers to ...

  Bodyweight exercises are great for building functional strength, especially when you’re on the go and don’t have access to a gym. They’re also great for building body awareness and stability. While free weights are more effective for actually growing and building muscle, bodyweight exercises still deserve a place in your exercise routine. Since bodyweight exercises are limited to your body mass, you’ll need to progress them over time by adding more volume, frequency, and difficulty to stimulate muscle growth.  That said, if you perform bodyweight exercises well and progress them little by little, they can still provide good resistance that can stimulate muscle growth effectively. Here are the best bodyweight exercises for building muscle. As a general principle, complete three sets of 10 reps for each exercise, increasing the overall volume of your workload over time. 1. Push Up This quintessential bodyweight exercise targets the upper body and challenges muscle groups...

 Concentration in worship ━━━━━━━━━━ Hazrat Thanvi (RA) said, Hazrat Maulana Rasheed  Ahmad Ganguhi (RA) said that one should not be in too much of a hurry to remove the temptations and temptations that come to people's minds in the matter of worship, as it is harmful.  Hazrat Ganguhi (RA) also said, one should think that the aim is to please and please Allah Ta'ala and it is achieved by spending as much time as possible on others. By keeping thoughts free from fiqr and engaging in worship. Even then, the delusions and delusions that arise in the mind involuntarily are not harmful.  So don't get too restless because of this. After this, the mental restlessness that occurs due to the creation of waswasa and deception in the mind is included in Mujahadah.  For this he will receive the reward of mujahadar. That's why in my opinion the worship with whichIf there is persuasion and persuasion, the rewards and rewards are greater.  One is the reward of worship and...

 Lying and perjury ━━━━━━ • ❂ • ━━━━━━ Lying and swearing falsely are low level crimes and capital sins.  Ismail Ibn Wasit said, I heard a statement of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) after the death of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).  He said: Where I am standing now, in the first year of the Hijrah, after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood here and said this, he Qadiyya. dropped After the tears subsided, he narrated this hadith: "Stay away from lies. Lies are companions of iniquity. (Lies and iniquities) the place of both is hell.  Hold fast to the truth. Because honesty is the companion of good deeds. (Honesty and good deeds) the place of both is paradise. " (Ibn Majah, Nasa'i) Hazrat Abu Umama (R.A.) narrates that the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, is Ershaddid- "The lie is one of the doors of the hypocrite. " (Ibn Adi) On the authority of Hazrat Sufyan Bin Usaid (R.A.), the Messenger of Allah, may God ble...

  To understand the life that might survive deep below Mars' surface, we can look to some of the deepest, and oldest, forms of living organism on our own planet. Mars isn't just the red planet: it's also a wet planet. On 12 August, US researchers reported evidence of a vast reservoir of liquid water, deep in the rocky crust of the planet. The data came from Nasa's Mars Insight Lander, which recorded more than 1,300 Marsquakes over four years. Researchers led by Vashan Wright, a geophysicist at the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, studied the seismic waves that reached the lander and concluded that they had passed through layers of wet rock.  While the surface of Mars is a barren desert, Wright's data suggests considerable volumes of water are locked up in rocks between 11.5 and 20km (7.1-12.4 miles) down. Martian life, if it exists, could well be subterranean "If they are correct," says Karen Lloyd, a subsurface...

  Plastics are ubiquitous in products we use every day, and recent studies have begun to reveal the effects of micro- and nanoplastics (MPs and NPs) on the health of humans and animals. Much research on the health effects of MPs and NPs to date has focused on marine life, especially fish. A few early studies have investigated possible toxic effects of plastics on terrestrial species such as birds, earthworms, insects, humans and other mammals, but myriad specifics remain unknown. A team of researchers from Iowa State University, using fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), has now made the first examination of the effects of MP and NP toxicity on the heart. The team's work is published in a Brief Research Report in Frontiers in Toxicology. How bad is the plastic problem? In 2017 , a study by Geyer et al estimated that approximately 8,300 million metric tons of plastic had been produced since 1950 ; that more than 4,900 million metric tons of that plastic had ended up in landf...

  A clear example of the fact that the media of our country cannot overcome their biasness is that they are still unable to appreciate Sheikh Ahmadullah Sahib properly. In this flood, the great work that Sheikh Ahmadullah Sahib is doing through his As-Sunnah Foundation, not even a drop of it in the mainstream media of the country. They have collected 20 crores of funds in one day yesterdayJust one day account. This account will continue to grow every day. Moreover, in the field of relief materials and disaster management, the number of organized initiatives taken by the As-Sunnah Foundation would be too long to count. Thousands of volunteers are working for As Sunnah Foundation to fight this disaster. Even not only Muslims, Hindu brothers also donated here, they also worked as volunteers. To everyone It is a good opportunity to strengthen social brotherhood. I am not belittling anyone's efforts, those who have contributed even a single point to this disaster are also priceless...

  Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, the son of high-ranking military leader Lazare Nicholas Marguerite Carnot, was born in Paris in 1796.  His father resigned from the army in 1807 to educate Nicolas and his brother Hippolyte—both received a broad, home-based education that included science, art, language, and music. In 1812, the 16-year-old Nicolas Carnot was admitted to the highly esteemed École Polytechnique in Paris.  His instructors included Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, Siméon Denis Poisson, and André-Marie Ampère; fellow students included famous future scientists Claude-Louis Navier, and Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis.  During his time in school, Carnot developed a special interest in the theory of gases and solving industrial engineering problems. After graduation, Carnot entered the French Army as a military engineer and served until 1814.  In 1821, he visited his father, who had moved to Magdeburg, Germany. Lazare had seen a steam engine that had come to the city and ...

  Allah Ta'ala has filled His Holy Word Quran Majeed with discussion of repentance and Istighfar.  He has repeatedly mentioned it in many Surahs and verses. He has also described how the previous Prophets-Messengers invited their Ummah to repentance in a pitiful voice.  Also about the benefits and benefits of repentance and the harm and evils of not repentingExplained in detail.  Repentance renews and strengthens the servant's relationship with Allah. Through this, the servant confesses his lowliness and humility to the Lord.  As a result, he gets God's endless love and satisfaction. By which he is entitled to all the welfare and success of this life and the hereafter. The word 'Tawbah' is Arabic. Literally means to return, return.  In the terminology of Islamic Shari'ah, repentance is called any sinIf you do it, avoid it out of fear of Allah. Then repenting and vowing not to do it in the future and returning to a reformed life.  We must remember that ...

  New research from Northwestern University has systematically proven that a mild zap of electricity can strengthen a marine coastline for generations—greatly reducing the threat of erosion in the face of climate change and rising sea levels. In the new study, researchers took inspiration from clams, mussels and other shell-dwelling sea life, which use dissolved minerals in seawater to build their shells. Similarly, the researchers leveraged the same naturally occurring, dissolved minerals to form a natural cement between sea-soaked grains of sand.  But, instead of using metabolic energy like mollusks do, the researchers used electrical energy to spur the chemical reaction. In laboratory experiments, a mild electrical current instantaneously changed the structure of marine sand, transforming it into a rock-like, immoveable solid.  The researchers are hopeful this strategy could offer a lasting, inexpensive and sustainable solution for strengthening global coastlines. The ...

  Generative AI has revealed the shortcomings of past digital transformation efforts, underscoring the need for businesses to innovate and prepare for a future defined by new technologies. Over the years, digital transformation has been a major focus for companies aiming to modernize. The term gained widespread attention after 2011 when Capgemini and MIT defined it as using technology to significantly enhance business performance or reach.  However, with the advent of generative AI, there's a growing realization that digital transformation didn't deliver the transformative outcomes many had hoped for. Research shows that many companies merely digitized existing processes rather than genuinely transforming their business models to thrive in a digital-first world.  Despite significant investments, the impact of these efforts has often been underwhelming, with reports indicating that a majority of digital transformations have not met their objectives. In contrast, the rise o...

  In new research published in the journal Discover Food, Dr. Asaf Tzachor, Founder and Academic Director of the Aviram Sustainability and Climate Program at Reichman University, along with a team of researchers from Iceland, Denmark and Austria, report the use of state-of-the-art biotechnology to cultivate photosynthetically-controlled Spirulina, &  produce carbon–neutral and nutritious biomass containing unopposed, biologically active vitamin B12, in levels comparable to beef meat. This is the first time biologically active vitamin B12 has been reported in Spirulina. Their new study reveals a potential solution to one of the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies: vitamin B12. With more than a billion individuals worldwide suffering from low levels of this essential vitamin, the reliance on meat and dairy products for adequate B12 intake (2.4 µg/day) presents significant environmental challenges. While Spirulina blue-green algae (Arthrospira platensis) has been ...

  In the Marvel Universe, the lines between science fiction and the supernatural often blur in extraordinary ways.  At the center of these intersections is Mister Fantastic, the ultimate man of science. Reed Richards, whose worldview is firmly grounded in logic and scientific reasoning, has frequently found himself confronting magical phenomena that defy conventional understanding. Despite his scientific approach, Reed has had to acknowledge, at least tacitly, that some things are beyond explanation.  Here’s a look at the key moments when Mister Fantastic faced the supernatural, and how he responded to events that challenged his extensive scientific expertise. The Fantastic Four Save Galactus  Whenever Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, appears, it’s a call for all hands on deck.  The Fantastic Four have repeatedly faced off against Galactus, using wit, strength, and even negotiation to save Earth.  In FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #243, they received unexpected hel...

Much has been said about lemon water, from those who attribute almost magical properties to it to others who categorically state that it is good for absolutely nothing.  Neither one extreme nor the other is completely true—no drink can work a miracle, but lemon water can provide our body with a number of benefits. Here's what nutritionist and dietitian Dr. Montse Folcha, has to say about the heath drink. Does lemon water help prevent abdominal bloating? Most people who advocate drinking water with lemon (usually warm) usually do so in the morning and on an empty stomach to help purify the body and activate our metabolism.  “Lemon not only tastes acidic but is an acid as well,” Dr. Folcha says. “It helps to alkalize, or detoxify, the body.  In this way, it will help prevent and improve abdominal bloating.” In addition to this, he recommends certain spices with which we can combine our glass of lemon water to enhance this effect, such as fennel, basil, parsley, dill, cumin,...

  How embracing your "why" boosts resilience, development, and well-being Key points A strong sense of purpose helps individuals navigate life’s challenges. Knowing your "why" clarifies goals, fuels motivation, and fosters continuous learning. Addressing the amygdala’s fear responses is crucial for overcoming procrastination and self-doubt. What drives you when you wake up each morning? For many, it’s a strong sense of purpose that provides meaning, direction, and motivation. Recently, I had the chance to speak with Nick Koumalatsos, a leading expert in helping individuals discover and live out their sense of purpose. Nick’s own journey—from overcoming significant personal challenges to achieving success as an entrepreneur and motivational speaker—serves as a powerful example of how embracing purpose can transform one's life.  Through his coaching work and personal experiences, Nick provides invaluable insights into how a strong sense of purpose can positively i...
