ATTENTION PLEASE!

ASSALLAMU ALAIKUM.

O Muslims! We are about to receive a new Hijri year and it is not from the Sunnah to celebrate it or to congratulate one another on its advent. For the Muslims, the passage of years does not constitute a real cause of happiness; rather, what counts is the amount of time spent in obedience to Allaah during these years. The years that have passed will be considered as successful if they were spent in obedience to Allaah and miserable if they were spent in disobedience of Allaah. Therefore, the most evil person is he who has lived a long life and has committed evil deeds throughout. It is a must that we receive our days, months and years while in obedience to Allaah. We must bring ourselves to account, redeem ourselves from our bad deeds and duly perform our responsibilities towards our wives, children and relatives.

The Beauty of Mathematics

Its been sometime now from the day i wrote last on this blog, i have been down with a terrible break bone fever, but am fine now thanks be to Allah. I came across this amazing mathematical trick or what do i even call it, anyway you just have to read on to find out what its about. Enjoy.....

Absolutely amazing!

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321


1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111


9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321



Now, take a look at this...


101%



From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Have a nice day & God bless!!

Mystery woman

Mystery woman,
O my mystery angel,
I crave for your sweet voice and tender touch
In the lonely days I stay alone,
Wondering what your name is,
To hear you whisper it into my ears,
To know who belongs to my fantasy world,
To know who I'm talking to in my dreams,
Or who I'm swooning about,

Mystery woman,
The one I dream about,
Daydreaming, sleep walking,
Wondering how our paths crossed,

Mystery woman,
The thoughts of you keep me deciding on what to say,
I write this short poem for you my mystery woman,
but words won’t bring you to me
Life brings life,
But when will we talk again.
In my dreams, and lonely nights……..

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Hi i got this email from an Uncle which i find to be very important to share with you all, don't worry it is not long, so be patient and read it. It is also very important and you might use the knowledge one day so check it out:


STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R ..
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.


Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally! He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

See, i told you it wouldnt take you long to read this, anyway prevention is always better than cure. This piece of knowledge will inshALLAH help save a life someday.

QUR'AN AND MORDERN SCIENCE

Consider the following Qur’anic verse:

“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one Unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” [Al-Qur’aan 21:30]

Only after advances have been made in science, do we now know that cytoplasm, the basic substance of the cell is made up of 80% water. Modern research has also revealed that most organisms consist of 50% to 90% water and that every living entity requires water for its existence. Was it possible 14 centuries ago for any human-being to guess that every living being was made of water? Moreover would such a guess be conceivable by a human being in the deserts of Arabia where there has always been scarcity of water? The following verse refers to the creation of animals from water: “And Allah has created Every animal from water.” [Al-Qur’an 24:45]

A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IN DESPAIR

I had a dream, a dream of a fantasy land, a nation, full of bliss and happiness

I had a dream, a dream so sweet; a mirage or just another illusion in a night sleep.

I had a dream last night of a great country, with all the blessings of the lord
I suddenly woke up to find out that it was all a dream, disappointed, disgusted and depressed, I wish it wasn’t just a dream,

But I had hopes that today, the sun would be shinning and the sky will be blue.

As I stepped outside my little apartment, rain fell upon my head.
A sign of hope, luck or simply a warning sign to go back to my dream?

My car wouldn't start so I walked instead.
Walking alone along a lonely path,

I dropped my head in disgust and asked the Lord for one request.
"Lord, why is it that things don’t go well in my country?" He gently replied,
"Dear child it is because your nation doesn’t thank me for all the blessings I have endowed upon it."

“I wake it up every morning and enabled it to see the sun again. While other nations are burning,
I gave your people shelter, protected their families, and even let you get independence from the whites.

I blessed you far greater than any country around you.
But you were too busy to thank me,

you don’t go to war because I maintained your peace,
you have money in oil but what do you do with it?
Despite that I still maintained your wealth.

You have resources on your shores and knowledge to build on it,
You have plenty of food to eat, and what did you do?

You ignored me and went about your tasks. But when you
wanted something you never hesitated to ask.

You prayed to me to take away a tyrant as a leader but never bothered to pray to me to give you a better person to lead you.

I was there when you needed me, and that wasn't too long ago,
But when things started going your way, it was me you did not know.

As if that weren't enough, I provided your favorite luxuries,
This was something I didn't have to do, they weren't even necessities.

And when it was time to get on your knees and show your gratitude,
You decided that after all the blessing I have given you, you weren't in the mood.

So I decided to give you just a little test,
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed.
I cursed you with tyrants among yourselves to lead you to an eternal doom………………,”

Suddenly I began to realize what the Lord was saying
And when I got home, I fell to my knees and started praying.

He said, "My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive,
But remember to remember this day as long as you shall live.

Remember to pass the message of love and compassion to your brothers and sisters
Remember to have faith in your lord and ask of him for guidance and protection even when in your comfort zone

I love filling the life of my creatures with joy and love, and your pain I'll alleviate it, but
Just a simple thank you would show how much you appreciate it."
