O,G od who is there in the world like You?

یارب تجھ سا کون ھے  اس جہان  میں
عمر بھر اسے ڈھونڈتی رہی جہان میں

O, God who is there in the world like You?

I have been searching for him during my life

کن فیکون   تو  بس  شان   ہے  تیری
پھر تجھ سا بھلا کون  ہو  جہان   میں

the one which says 'BE' and it is done is only You

then who can be like You?(no one is like You)

اب کہ جو تو  نے  کرم  کیا  مجھ   پر
تو ھی  تو  نظر  اٌے ٴاس  جہان   میں

now when you blessed me with Your mercy

I am able to see Your signs all around the world

دنیا کے حسن سے تھی کتنی میں بے خبر
ہر سو پھیلا ہوا تیرا حسن ہے جہاں میں

I did not aware of the beauty of nature

now i see it(beauty of nature) is all around

صدف تجھ سے بڑھ کر بھی کوئ نادان ھو گا
خود سے پاس کو بھی ڈھونڈے جہان میں

there is no one foolish like me

You are close to me more than myself and I was searching all around

Some words in praise of my beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

              نعت

وہ رحمت کا منبع، وہ ھادی برحق

اتاری خدا نے کتاب جس پھ بالحق
وہ میرے  خدا  کا   محبوب    ھے
عمل جسکا ھر سچ ھر بات ھے حق
وہ   صادق و امیں   خیرالبشر   ھے
دیکھ کے اس کو دل میں اتر جاٴے حق
حیات نبی اصل میں ھے تفسیر قراٌں
اطاعت نبی  ھی   ھے اطاعت حق
صدف، نبی کی اطاعت بنا شعار اپنا
اسی کی رضا  ھے اصل رضاٴے حق

Muhammad(S.A.W)’s Birth

HIS(Peace be Upon HIM) BIRTH:

Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the Master of Prophets, was born in Bani Hashim lane in Makkah
on Monday morning, the ninth of Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, the same year of the Elephant Event, and forty
years of the reign of Kisra (Khosru Nushirwan), i.e. the twentieth or twenty-second of April, 571
A.D., according to the scholar Muhammad Sulaimân Al-Mansourpuri, and the astrologer Mahmûd
Pasha.

 

Ibn Sa‘d reported that Muhammad’s mother said:

“When he was born, there was a light that issued out of my pudendum and lit the palaces of Syria.” 

Ahmad reported on the authority of ‘Arbadh bin Sariya something similar to this.
 

It was but controversially reported that significant precursors accompanied his birth: fourteen
galleries of Kisra’s palace cracked and rolled down, the Magians’ sacred fire died down and some
churches on Lake Sawa sank down and collapsed.
 

His mother immediately sent someone to inform his grandfather ‘Abdul-Muttalib of the happy event.
Happily he came to her, carried him to Al-Ka‘bah, prayed to Allâh and thanked Him. ‘Abdul-Muttalib
called the baby Muhammad, a name not then common among the Arabs. He circumcised him on his
seventh day as was the custom of the Arabs.
 

The first woman who suckled him after his mother was Thuyebah, the concubine of Abu Lahab, with
her son, Masrouh. She had suckled Hamzah bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib before and later Abu Salamah bin
‘Abd Al-Asad Al-Makhzumi.

A kind of ice which burns

.

Methane hydrate burning in air

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT THERE IS A KIND OF ICE THAT BURNS IN AIR? YES, THERE IS SUCH A THING. IT IS CALLED METHANE HYDRATE.

There is enough of it to meet America's energy needs for years. but scientists have yet to figure out how to mine it without causing an environmental disaster. 

Bacteria in the sediments beneath the ocean floor consume organic material and generate methane gas. Under high pressure and low temperature conditions, methane forms methane, which consists of single molecules of the natural gas trapped within crystalline cages formed by frozen water molecules. A lump of methane hydrate looks like a grey ice cube, but if a lighted match is put to it, it will burn.

Oil companies have known about methane hydrate since the 1930s, when they began using high pressure pipelines to transport natural gas in cold climates. Unless  water is carefully removed before the gas enters the pipeline, chunks of methane hydrate will impede the flow of gas.

   

      Methane hydrate. The methane molecule is trapped in a cage of frozen water molecules (blue spheres) held together by hydrogen bonds. 

.

The total reserve of the methane hydrate in the world's oceans is estimated to be 10­¹³ tons of carbon content, about twice the amount of carbon in all the coal, oil and natural gas on land. however harvesting the energy stored in methane hydrate presents a tremendous engineering challenge. It is believed that methane hydrate acts as a kind of cement to keep the ocean floor sediments together.Tampering with the hydrate deposits could cause under water landslides, leading to the discharge of methane into the atmosphere. This event could have serious consequences for the environment, because methane is a potent greenhouse gas; that is, it has the ability to warm earth's atmosphere . 

In fact scientists have speculated that the abrupt release of methane hydrate may have hastened the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. as the great blanket of continental ice melted, global sea levels swelled by more than 90 m, submerging arctic regions rich in hydrate deposits. the relatively warm ocean water would have melted the hydrates, unleashing tremendous amounts of methane, which led to global warming.

Discovery of the Elements with Atomic Number 114 and 116  

Last update: 14 July 2011  

Priority for the discovery of the elements with atomic number 114 and 116 has been assigned, in accordance with the agreed criteria, to collaborative work between scientists from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia and from Lawrence Livermore, California, USA (the Dubna-Livermore collaborations).  The discovery evidences were recently reviewed and recognized by a IUPAC/IUPAP joint working party. IUPAC confirmed the recognition of the elements in a letter to the leaders of the collaboration.

 The IUPAC/IUPAP Joint Working Party (JWP) on the priority of claims to the discovery of new elements has reviewed the relevant literature pertaining to several claims. In accordance with the criteria for the discovery of elements previously established by the 1992 IUPAC/IUPAP Transfermium Working Group, and reiterated by the 1999 and 2003 IUPAC/IUPAP JWPs, it was concluded that “the establishment of the identity of the isotope ²⁸³Cn by a large number of decaying chains, originating from a variety of production pathways essentially triangulating its A,Z character enables that nuclide’s use in unequivocally recognizing higher-Z isotopes that are observed to decay through it.” From 2004 Dubna-Livermore collaborations the JWP notes:  (i) the internal redundancy and extended decay chain sequence for identification of Z = ²⁸⁷114 from ⁴⁸Ca + ²⁴²Pu fusion (Oganessian et al. Eur. Phys. J. A 19, 3 (2004) and Phys. Rev. C 70, 064609 (2004)); and (ii) that the report of the production of ²⁹¹116 from the fusion of ⁴⁸Ca with ²⁴⁵Cm is supported by extended decay chains that include, again, ²⁸³Cn and descendants (Oganessian et al. Phys. Rev. C 69, 054607 (2004)). It recommends that the Dubna-Livermore collaborations be credited with discovery of these two new elements.

 A full synopsis of the relevant experiments and related efforts is presented in a technical report published online in Pure and Applied Chemistry on 1 June 2011. With the priority for the discovery established, the scientists from the Dubna-Livermore collaborations are invited to propose a name for the two super-heavy elements, elements 114 and 116. The suggested names will then go through a review process before adoption by the IUPAC Council.

Muhammad Asad a Revert Muslim

"The peoples which are able are bestowed from God with "hudaya", those are on right path and only those are successful"

Muhammad Asad (1900 – 1992)

    He is formally known as Leopold Weiss came from a long line of Jewish Rabbis. His work as a part-time freelancer for the newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in Jerusalem brought him closer and closer to the Muslim world. Though Jewish at the time, his writings were well appreciated for his understanding of Arab hesitancies and Zionist movement.

Seven years before accepting Islam, Muhammad Asad had a dream that most Muslims would find a heavenly blessing. At the time he had a habit of keeping a dream journal in which he would jot all his dreams down as soon as he woke. This specific dream had him riding in a train in Berlin which eventually came out of a tunnel and got stuck in a plain of clay. The throng of people abandoned the train and remained confused about what to do next. Asad however, found his way to a camel on which a man sat dressed in a white-and-brown striped abaya with short sleeves and face hidden. Asad joined the man and they rode towards a warm white light, and all the while he felt a greater sense of happiness and peace than he had ever felt. As he approached the white light, a voice called out “This is the westernmost city!”, and he woke up. A few years after converting to Islam he told this story to the King of Saudi Arabia, a close friend at the time, and was shocked to hear that many times, non-muslims would see the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in their dreams dressed in this very same manner. 

In 1926, while living in Berlin, Muhammad Asad  accepted Islam wholeheartedly. At that time he said:

“Islam appears to me like a perfect work of architecture. All its parts are harmoniously conceived to complement and support each other; nothing is superfluous and nothing lacking; and the result is a structure of absolute balance and solid composure.”

Muhammad Asad and Pakistan

An interesting part of his life began when he came to British India in 1932. There he met Muhammad Iqbal who presented his idea of an Independent Pakistan. Muhammad Asad was given Pakistani Citizenship in 1947 and was made the Director of the Department of Islamic Reconstruction. In this position he provided input in creating Pakistan’s first constitution in 1949. He also held the position of the Head of Middle East Division for the Ministry of foreign Affairs along with being appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the United Nations.

Publications

 

One of his most famous achievements was the writing of the book “The Road to Mecca” which was published in 1954. The book retold the story of his spiritual odyssey where he examined his early life and his travels to the Muslim world which ultimately caused him to accept Islam. The book won critical acclaim throughout both Western and Eastern societies.

Throughout his life and writings, Asad expressed a strong objection to Zionism from the very beginning, even before converting to Islam. He strongly opposed the occupation of Palestine and believed that Arabs had as much right to the land as did the Jews. He blatantly challenged the idea of viewing the Zionist-Arab conflict from only the Zionist perspective and ignoring the views of the Muslims.

Other than “The Road to Mecca” Muhammad Asad published a number of others books and documents. A few of these are:

• “The Message of the Qur’an”, a translation and commentary on the holy Qur’an based on his knowledge of classical Arabic
• A translation and commentary on the Sahih Bukhari
• “The Law of Ours”, a summary of his views on Islamic Laws
• The book “Islam at the Crossroads” in which describes the need for Muslims to live by their own values rather than accepting those of the west

Muhammad Asad and his Family

Though Muhammad Asad came from a long line of religious Jews, his father and mother were relative liberalists. Rather than being a Rabbi, as was the tradition in the family, his father decided to become a lawyer. After a period of time, his father came to understand Muhammad Asad’s conversion to Islam and they maintained a healthy relationship.  The relationship between Muhammad Asad and his family brutally ended when his father, stepmother and sister all perished in concentration camps during World War II. He was also arrested in Lahore a day after the war broke out by the British, under assumptions of being an enemy alien. After the end of the war Muhammad Asad was released and reunited with his family.

Muhammad Asad was married three times. First in Germany with Elsa Schiemann with whom he had his first son, Henrich. Second in Saudi Arabia with Munira whom he had a second son, Talal Asad. He married Pola Hamida Asad, his third wife in Spain.
