Eid, the festival of of austerity.

Asalam u Alikum, 

Eid mubarak to all my brothers in Islam.

Today ends the moth of fasting, the month of redemption, the month of prayers, the month of peace, the month of charity and I hope that whatever we prayed, whatever we donated and will donate gets accepted by the most gracious of, the bounteous of all, Allah (subhanawatallah).

The prayers for the Eid are wajib and compulsorily to be offered in congregation. the way of Eid salah is a bit different as it is accompanied with 14 taqbeeers. The payment of "sadqah fitr" is compulsory and has been calculated to be Rs.29.

Make sure to pay the sadqah and offer the Eid prayers and refrain from the practices that were prohibited by Islam.

The following is the letter sent by Mr. Steve Jobs to the Apple Board of Directors of Apple Inc.











Steve Jobs and the iPad 2.

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:


I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.


Steve.

Discrimination, ego or human nature.

Asalam u Alikum,
I started to ponder over the meaning only after our teacher explained it as "I'm superior and others inferior".
Thinking about it, many things came to my mind, is it always with ego or is there some other thing associated with it?
When we grow our parents make a line around us, always warning us no to cross the limits and we readily accept the orders, the limits being about religion, class, caste, or any other social grouping. It is best for us, we think as our parents are our best well-wishers. As we grow there comes a time we need to look over the line and we try to mix up but being careful enough not to cross the line. But as it seems it is inevitable to remain in the circle drawn by our parents, in one way or the other we come across the lines and we forget the borders, but when it comes to our future we suddenly try to assure our safety by remaking the line long forgotten by us. There again we start the segregation of the we people we should meet and those from whom we have to maintain the distance.
Now where comes the question of "ego" in between, it is just something going in our head, it is just a feeling but it is corrosive. It never affects the society but it causes troubles though. It creates social evils but never makes way for what we call as "discrimination".
Nepotism, Apartheid, Religious segregation, Caste Segregation and Gender discrimination are just the apparent effects of the word and a phenomenon called "discrimination".

• It is the dark side of human soul that invokes this evil. It is neither education nor the social efforts that can stop it, it was there, is there, and will be there.
• Peace.    
•                                                                                                                                                            Abdul.

a new life- college

 And there I start a new life, my tryst with the new people, on a new mission,  a new path.
Its been a fortnight since I've left my home, among new faces I'm trying to build trust and friendship, a bond that will be there for times I've no idea of. Man has a title bestowed to him by God himself, "Ashraful makhluqaat" or the best of creations. This is quite evident from the fact that even if we enter a new territory, nigh seen by our fathers, still we adapt to the life, the way and give way to change that is necessary for the survival. Even though Darwin might have explained the theory of evolution which by many standards seems quite vague, but look at the beauty of human nature, how do we evolve our manners, our ways to accommodate the people surrounding us making a way for a perfect ecosystem, God intends for us.
May peace be on all.
                                                                                                                                   Abdul.
