Theme - "Reflection on the message of the Qur'an"
Surah Aali 'Imran: 3 : 164
The document provides information about an introductory course on Islam conducted in English for adults by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. The course consists of 18 weekly classes held on Fridays from January 2017 covering topics on the basic teachings and articles of faith in Islam. It discusses concepts like Tawheed (the oneness of God), the prophethood of Muhammad, belief in God and the afterlife. The document aims to educate Muslims and newcomers to Islam on the fundamental principles and practices of the Islamic faith.
This document provides an overview of Tawheed (the Islamic concept of monotheism) and discusses how some people ascribe partners to God through shirk (polytheism) due to ignorance, imagination, and traditions. It explains how polytheists view multiple gods as controlling different aspects of life and creation. The document aims to teach readers about proper Islamic beliefs regarding God being the one and only creator, sustainer, and object of worship through verses from the Quran and explanations of theological concepts like Tawheed al-Rububiyyah.
This document appears to be notes from an Islamic studies course being conducted in Singapore. It provides lessons on the basic tenets of Islam including a discussion of Iman (faith), Islam (submission to Allah), and Ihsan (righteous conduct). The lessons define key Islamic concepts and include excerpts from the Quran to substantiate the beliefs being discussed.
Primary problem faced by new generation Muslims today is the confusion in Knowledge and misdirected philosophy of education. Among the neglect of our society in our not knowing and not teaching about our true history – HISTORICAL ROOTS - as a people. Apparently, because of this many may have low self-esteem leading to their crisis of identity.
This document appears to be notes from lessons on Islam conducted in English by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. It covers various topics including the six articles of faith in Islam (belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine decree), the Hadith of Jibril which asks the Prophet Muhammad about Islam, Iman and Ihsan, and notes on various Quranic verses and concepts like Tawheed (the oneness of God). The document provides information to students on important Islamic concepts in a classroom setting.
Allah assures that He is near to those who call upon Him in prayer and supplication. He responds to the calls of those who pray to Him and believe in Him, so that they may follow the right path. The verse emphasizes that true satisfaction comes from developing a close connection to Allah through prayer and obedience to His commands, rather than focusing on His unknowable essence. While Allah is always near to respond to supplication, He reminds believers that they too must respond to His call through faith and righteous actions.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
