Women in Islam

Before Islam, girls were treated like slaves or property. Their personal consent regarding something associated with their well-being was thought of unimportant, to such a degree that they were ne'er even treated as a celebration to a wedding contract.
Women were used for one purpose, and so discarded. that they had no independence, might own no property and weren't allowed to inherit. In times of war, girls were treated as a part of the prize. Simply put, their condition was unspeakable.
In addition, the birth of a girl in an exceedingly family wasn't an occurrence for rejoicing, however was regarded with humiliation. The observe of killing feminine youngsters was uncontrolled.
But when Islam come its change the previous concept of women respect . Islam gives the right of people ,Islam give the respect of people , Islam gives the prosperity of a women. And these right given to us by Allah (SWT), who is All compassionate . Allah is merciful , all thing are in hand and these rights in which were granted to women more than 1400 years ago, and were taught by the perfect example of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), were given by the one Who created us and Who alone knows what rights are best for our female natures.The most basic right of a woman in Islam is the knowledge and recognition that she never has to ask or demand or fight for her rights which are guaranteed to her by Allah Himself.
A Woman in Islam Has the Right to Get an Education. In the words of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW):
"To seek knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim."
Islam considers a woman to be equal to a man as a human being and as his partner in this life. Women have been created with a soul of the same nature as man’s. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:
"O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you." (Al-Nisa 4:1)
And in the words of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
"Assuredly, women are the twin halves of men." (Sahih reported by Abu-Dawud (RA)

Muslim ladies don't seem to be out from going call at the community, working, or visiting relatives and feminine friends, if there's no objection from their guardian/husband and that they square measure coated and behave and speak in line with Muslim tips and, if necessary, escorted by their Mahram (a shut male relative). However, a woman’s home ought to be the most base that she works from.

Tolerance

Tolerance is the mark of an enlightened and educated society.We must stand up for what we believe but not decry or mock others ideas.They hold their beliefs as firmly and sincerely as we hold ours.

         "There is nothing either sensible or dangerous however thinking build it so"

Tolerance means not only to listen and bear what other might be sharing with oneself.It also help us to realize how we accept and respect those thoughts as well.Each and every word uttered by some one, is the feeling and emotions of his own , one may not agree but should understand what it meant for others.Actions of others effect us as much as all spices of life vary,but they do speak louder than words.

We judge ourselves by what we feel  capable of doing while others judge us by what we have already done. It is the dilemma of most societies that they exhibit various thoughts for not only social but religious and political beliefs of others.Toleration leads to the harmony and peace not only within individuals as well as in societies and nations.It is so because whenever a person becomes angry or doesn't like any opinion,he opens his mouth and closes his eyes.
Any discussion or debate explains that there are two sides to everything.The life of our Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) is outstanding example of tolerance.He bear the brunt of those with whom he spent forty years of his life.He set an example of tolerance not only as an individual but in all exemplary characters of his life.
Tolerance could be a virtue and should be practiced for harmony all told areas of life.

"Do all the products you'll,by all the suggests that you'll,in all ways in which you'll, all told the places you'll, the least bit the days you'll,to all the folks you'll,as long as you can"

Misuse Of Mobile Technology

 
Technological era considering that fact a serious question arises. Are there disadvantages of using a mobile phone? I believe that possessing a mobile phone hides numerous disadvantages with social problems, health and economic issues being the leading ones on a lengthy list. The most widely spread disadvantage though the most unseen, is the addictive relation developed between a mobile telephone and its user. Psychiatrists and sociologists believe that mobile phone addiction is becoming one of the biggest non-drug addictions in the 21st century. Along with the age drop of the mobile phone users and the ease of prepaid method provide by the system operators, most teenagers now own their own mobile phone and network service. Teenagers are engaged on their mobile phones all the time, no matter on phone calls, using SMS text messages, personalizing the mobile phones with ringtones and pictures etc. Another type of problematic social behavior resulted from the emergence of mobile phones is losing good habits, such as punctuality. When we couldn’t keep in touch so easily, if we had a date with someone, we tried our best to arrive on time. But now, because of the mobile phone, we are not afraid of being late any more. If we are likely to be late, we will call him and say I am sorry I will be late, it seems that I am on time if I give him a late call. Repeating it makes us develop an irresponsible behavior. The increased risk that cell phones pose to driving is clear-cut and widely acknowledged and commonly called a “Fatal distraction”. It may seem harsh but unfortunately it is the plain truth. But not only this some bad peoples use mobile as a tool to spread bad thing likes research shows many cases that boys misuses the girls profile pictures etc from facebook this cause many disturbance in society and this leads increase the suicide ratio of females . This increased risk is due to the inability of the human brain to fully focus on driving while, and shortly after, talking on a cell phone leading into an accident. Matter of fact that, is so dangerous that in many countries has been legally penalized. Straying from social problem and focusing on health issues...

Speaking on behalf of parents Greg, Virginia, sister magon and Brother Jason he said
       “we’re devastated by the loss of our much-loved son and brother, Phillip; it’s been a very difficult few days. We appreciate all the support we have received from family, friends, players, cricket Australia and the general public”.

I had totally shocked out when I use to hear that Hughes has passed away. By truth saying it is a great loss of cricket world. He was such a legend cricketer and it will take years to fulfill his emptiness. We feel so regret upon his death. May his soul feel comfort and peace?

     Phillip Joel Hughes was born in macksville, New South Wales to Greg, a banana farmer, and Italian wife, Virginia.he was also a talented rugby league player. He played his junior cricket at macks ville RSL cricket club. He excelled so quickly that was playing a grade at the age of 12. Hughes migrated to Sydney to play for western suburb district club in Sydney grade cricket at the age of 17. while during his studies in home-bush high school new south wales he scored 141* on his great debut and enjoyed a solid 2006-07 season scoring 752 runs at an average of 35.81 with the highest score of 142*he represents Australia in 2008 ICC under19 cricket world cup. He was coached at reinforce sports cricket center at mortgage.

Phillip Joel Hughes (30 November 1988 – 27 November 2014) was an Australian test and one day international (ODI) cricketer who played domestic cricket for south Australia and Worcestershire. He was a left-handed opening batsman who played for two seasons with New South Wales before making his test debut in 2009 at the age of 20. 

Hughes scored his first test century in his second test match for Australia at the age of 20, opening the batting and hitting 115 in the first innings against South Africa in Durban. This made Hughes Australia's youngest test centurion since Doug Walters in 1965. In the second innings of the same match, Hughes scored 160 as Australia won the match by 175 runs, becoming the youngest cricketer in history to score centuries in both innings of a test match. On 11 January 2013, he became the first Australian batsman in the history of ODI cricket to score a century on debut, a feat which he achieved against Srilanka in Melbourne.

A year before his death, Hughes bought a 90-hectare (220-acre) property in Macks ville, with 70 Angus cattle.

He was a close friend of teammates Michael Clarke and David Warner, as well as boxer Anthony Mundane. He grew up with fellow Macks ville local and current rugby league player Greg Inglis

On 25 November 2014, Hughes was hit in the neck by a bouncer delivered by Sean Abbott, during a Sheffield shield match at the Sydney cricket ground, causing a vertebral artery dissection that led to a sub arachnoid hemorrhage. The Australian team doctor, peter Bruckner, noted that only 100 such cases had ever been reported, with "only one case reported as a result of a cricket ball". Hughes was taken to St Vincent's hospital in Sydney, where he underwent surgery, was placed into an induced coma and was in intensive care in a critical condition. He died on 27 November, having never regained consciousness, three days before his 26th birthday.

Australian Cricket Falling Apart

 

                           

 

For decades, Australia has been referred as one of the best cricketing nation in this world and its domestic cricket system is taken as an example of perfection. But Australian teams performance in last three to four years has dramatically gone down and their successive Ashes loses and defeat from South Africa at their own home soil has raised serious questions over the effectiveness of Australian domestic cricket. There are many reasons for it.

The first major cause is the undermining of Sheffield Shield competition by Cricket Australia’s greed and commitments, which they have made under the Future Tour programs. Because of this, majority of players do not get an opportunity to fine or tune their game in conditions that are best for them.

 Then, the changes made in one-day Ryobi tournament have resulted in absolute failure and this contest now is not considered a healthy activity for international one-day competitions. Further the elevation of T20 Big Bash to main event could well undermine the importance of Test cricket in a nation struggling to maintain its ranking in the longer format. Speaking on it, Australian captains mentor Neil D’Costa said,\

   "It's a real concern because everything in Australian cricket at the moment seems to be about T20. It's all about the Big Bash, how we can get more people to the games, how we can make money out of India. It's not really about how we can make better cricketers.”    

 

Moreover, the run of injuries to young Australian fast bowlers is also a worrying sign. Commenting on it, Cricket Australian general manager Michael Brown said,  

“Getting the best 66 players on the park has been challenging, you never would have thought that you'd have injuries to Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Andrew McDonald, James Pattinson, Mitchell Marsh, we've had an incredible run of injuries.”

He further added,  

“Then you've got the usual thing that happens with young players, right on the cusp of opportunity - they start to think about it and maybe start to struggle a bit because they're so focused on taking it and maybe some of the young players don't perform as you'd like.”

 

 

 In order to improve Australian team’s performance and regain its top position, it is necessary that Cricket Australia must get the balance right in scheduling of their domestic Sheffield Shield competition and finalization of the 2014-2020 Future Tours programs. Then, the Big Bash tournament and ODI format need to be reassessed, so that quality of game can be improved. Further trainers need to be appointed, to work with injury issues of emerging fast bowlers. Also Grade cricket in the country should be re-evaluated to make sure that development needs of players are fulfilled.

Cricket Review Corner

Pakistan v/s Bangladesh series

The recent cricket series between Pakistan and Bangladesh proved to be an exciting contest in which, Pakistan eventually ended on the top. The series played in Bangladesh had two Tests, three ODIs and one T20, which were all won by Pakistan. During the whole tour, Pakistan spin attack dominated and never allowed Bangladeshi batsmen to settle down. Particularly Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, and Muhammad Hafeez bowled brilliantly and were equally assisted by pace bowlers Umar Gul and Aizaz Cheema. On the other hand, the Bangladeshi team yet again failed to deliver in front of their home crowd. The Bangladesh team did not have a plan and looked completely out of touch. Only Nasser Husain and Shakib-ul-Hasan offered some resistance, which did not prove enough. This series was also considered very crucial for both nations as Pakistan team after 2002 were touring Bangladesh for a complete bilateral series. Apart from all this, crowd’s enthusiasm was another highlighting factor during every match despite their home team’s poor performance. This series was very important from Pakistan’s perspective because after this, they have to play with England, who are currently ranked no one side in the world and victory over Bangladesh would certainly give them a psychological advantage over England. Overall, it was a fascinating series where, cricket was played in Great Spirit.  

India v/s West Indies ODI series:

West Indies and India are two famous cricketing rivals and when ever they play against each other, there is always an excitement. The last five match ODI series played in India is a clear example of it which, India won by a massive margin of 4-1. It was a great contest particularly Indian young player Umesh Yadav, Ravichandan Ashwin and Virat Kohli played exceptionally well and had great support of their other team mates as well. This series would also be remembered for Virender Sehwag’s 219 runs in the third ODI, making a world record for most runs by a batsman in an ODI innings. The West Indies on the other hand gave a great fight but, could not capitalize during key moments of the series. There were some great performances from West Indies player Darren Bravo, Ravi Rampaul and Kieran Pollard but unfortunately, they could not lead their side towards victory. In spite of all this, crowd’s involvement during every match was another great aspect as they enjoyed every moment of the game. Consistency has been a main issue with the West Indies team as players do not perform on regular basis, which was also visible in this series. But from Indian perspective, this series was very important because after this, they are going to tour Australia where, Indian teams record is very poor. So this series would certainly give them confidence, which would be very vital for their upcoming series against Australia. By and large, it was a wonderful series, where cricket was played in fabulous environment.

Alternating ways Of Producing Energy

                                               

We currently relying on the expensive method to produce energy oil to run over power plant in this difficult time when our country facing energy crises we should adopt the alternative ways of producing energy like nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, heat, gravitational and bio mass. Because of the oil problems in all over the world Dr. Tariq Banuri, who founded the sustainable development policy institute (SDPU) in Islamabad, Before working in UN headquarter in New York, has been increasing the need “energy revolution in economic development” in Pakistan for now. In future the non renewable resources become costly and unpredictable even cost increased in poor Pakistan

These are many ways of producing energy in Pakistan and as well as other country but Pakistan not take much interest of these alternating resources. if they concentrate seriously they  capable to stop the energy crises

 Nuclear energy :-

Although nuclear energy is the costly process of producing energy but it is very reliable resources. when the last visit of Chinese prime minister Li keqiang after the green signal of nawaz sharief that his country took nterest in sharing civil nyuclear energy to overcome the energy crises in Pakistan.As such this way is very expensive but it solve our problem but our expert don’t see the role of nuclear energy on massive scale in a future particularly what happened in fukushima in Japan recently Pakistan facing a massive energy emergency but we can’t still think in this perspective.

 Solar energy:-

      The cost of solar energy is very highly but it is reliable process in Pakistan because of the hot weather of Pakistan. But the cost of the solar panel is decreased 80 % in last 5 years. The government took interest in producing emery from solar panel in past Pakistan’s perception that they not produce much energy from solar but in 2008 we importing less than a quarter of a megawatt in solar energy and this year’s imports are close to 2 megawatt. And this achieved without any government subsidies reported by Alauddin.  In Pakistan when electricity gone people us UPS to overcome hotness of weather but it takes 2 to 4 hours to charge UPS betteries past 2 years here people use solar panels in their house to charge battery it gives very help. Sales this year are three times as much as last year and there are as many as 146 vendors in the country .Alauddin says, “We endorsed certified panels (certified by Germany) which are close to one dollar per watt as opposed to those half the price.”According to him, with Chinese help, 1000 megawatts of solar energy will soon be added to the national grid. This will come mostly from the Cholistan Desert, where solar powered IPP’s are ready to sell power if they get the right rate from NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority). “The solar on-grid megawatts projects are lined up and waiting for NEPRA to give a tariff. They need to know at what price to sell electricity to the Government of Pakistan.” This solar park in Spain uses large mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays onto the top of a 100-meter tall tower. The rays heat molten salt that produces steam to drive a turbine.

    Wind power:-

B this energy resources is very cheap and reliable resources .and Pakistan has great positional in it because in the place of sindh and Baluchistan Pakistan has vast area where Pakistan take advantage for this palaces if they established the wind power stations to produce energy . unlike the other country Pakistan is bless this resources but it didn’t took advantage from it . in past Pakistan had a wind corridor between gharo  and keti bunder that alone could produce 40,00 and 50,000 megawatts of electricity . So now Pakistan is working on it and 2 plants already installed and 3 more under construction and 11 more in the pipeline

 Hydro power potential:-

In terms of hydropower potential, there is no doubt that Pakistan has enough possibilities, especially in the North. Pakistan’s total hydropower resources have been estimated at 59,796 megawatts, out of which 41,045 megawatts are so far considered exploitable potential. However its working  is only 29 %. In fact, a policy framework and package of incentives for private sector hydropower generation projects that was introduced back in 1995 has failed spectacularly. Experts like Arshad Abbasi, who works at SDPI, blame WAPDA, pointing out that: “the World Bank rightly proposed institutional reforms in WAPDA for decentralisation in order to increase efficiency in management.”The wind power and hydro power is reliable resources for Pakistan in future.

   Bio gas:

Bio gas produced using bacteria and break down of organic matter . bio gas can be used for cooking and or heating and as fuel . 1^st bio gas plants was built in the Indian city of Mumbai in 1859. And Indian village name gosaba supplies about 1,200 local families with power.

 
  Wave power:-

Wave power tube converts’ wave power into electricity . wave motion pushes waves potential into generator which in turn pressurize oil that is used to derive a turbine. It contains energy to equivalent to almost five times the world’s annual electricity consumption. Scotland is currently trying to become the global hub for wave and ocean power. In France two-way produce about 4 % of all consumed in the Bretagne. The plant, opened in 1966, remains the biggest in the world. In most coastal areas tidal power is not yet strong enough to efficiently produce energy. 

Wood energy:-

Wood is still important source of energy and also use for cooking. This is why many poor countries also suffer from deforestation.

 
Bio fuel:-

 

 In Kuala lumpur, Malaysia, palm oil is used to convert to fuel but many rainforests have been cleared to make way for palm oil plantation . The US is far the world’s largest producer of ethanol, a bio fuel made from corn. Brazil is 2^nd with bio fuels made from sugar cane, currently the most efficient way to produce bio fuel. Algae could soon become better source of bio fuels.

   Pedal power:-

Pedal power is a unique way to produce energy by connecting  a stationary bike to a generator  these machines can power many home appliances like washing machine ,cell phones and light bulb.

   Gravitational force:-

In UK companies give techniques in which they use a device on the street which consume gravitational forces of vehicles then convert into electricity

 Heat energy :-

 

A technique used by a country Denmark which is produce electricity by absorbing the heat energy which is produce via cooking
