SUCEEDING AT SOCIAL ENTERPRISE - Learning’s, tools and engagement from two social entrepreneurs.
مع ظهور الصحوة الإسلامية المعاصرة في شتى البلاد الإسلامية، رأينا جُلَّ المسلمين المعاصرين يتعمقون في دراسة أبواب العبادات من الفقه، ويُركزون عليها، وهذا واجب شرعي لا شك في ذلك، لأنه يتعلق بواجب المؤمن نحو ربه عزوجل، وعبادته، وشكره سبحانه على عظيم نعمه.
ونظراً لكثرة مشاغل الخلق في هذا الزمان، فربما لا يسع وقت كثير منهم لدراسة بقية أبواب الفقه الإسلامي، مع شدة الحاجة إليها لأنها تتعلق بالأحوال الشخصية من زواج وطلاق، وتنظيم المعاملات بين الناس وفقاً لقواعد الشريعة الإسلامية، وتبين واجب المسلم نحو أخيه في كل حالة من الأحوال التي تعتوره من صحة ومرض، وغنى وفقر، وحياة وموت، وشدة ورخاء، وعسر ويسر، وغيرها.
لذلك رأينا أن نبين لإخواننا المسلمين أجمعين في هذا الكتاب الواجب عليهم فعله نحو إخوتهم المقبلين على الدار الآخرة سواء ساعة الإحتضار، أو بعد مفارقة المؤمن للحياة الدنيا، من غسله وتكفينه والصلاة عليه وتشييعه إلى مثواه الأخير.
وبيَّنا كذلك شروط الدفن الشرعي، وصفة المقابر التي ينبغي أن يُدفن فيها المسلم، والواجب على أهل الميت نحو ميتهم.
وكذلك الواجب على جموع المؤمنين نحو الميت، ونحو أهله، وكل ذلك طبقاً لأحكام الشريعة الإسلامية التي استنبطها الفقهاء الأجلاء من كتاب الله عزوجل، ومن سُنَّة رسول الله صل الله عليه وسلم القولية والفعلية، وعمل الصحابة والأئمة الهادين المهديين.
وقد تخيرنا في ذلك من بين النقول والآراء الواردة عن الرعيل الأول، والسلف الصالح؛ ما ينحو نحو الوسطية التي وصف الله عزوجل بها الأمة الإسلامية في قوله تعالى: وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا (143البقرة)
وركزنا في ذلك أيضاً على بيان مدى سعة رحمة الله لعباده المؤمنين، وشدة إكرامه سبحانه وتعالى لهم في حياتهم البرزخية، ولذلك سميناه: (إكرام الله للأموات) وقد أخرجنا أيضاً قرصاً مدمجاً (سي دي) ليكون بياناً عملياً مرئياً في ذلك لمن أراد رسوخ هذه الحقائق في ذهنه.
وقد سبق لنا أن بيَّنا عظيم إكرام الله للمؤمن عند موته في كتابنا: (بشائر المؤمن عند الموت) ووضحنا فضل الله العظيم للمؤمنين في اليوم الآخر (يوم القيامة) وفي دار الجنان في كتبنا: (بشريات المؤمن في الآخرة) و (بشائر الفضل الإلهى).
وبذلك نكون قد أوضحنا على قدرنا مع جهلنا وقلة محصولنا لإخواننا المؤمنين بعض إكرامات الله عزوجل لهم من لحظة الموت إلى الخلود في الجنة، عسى الله أن ينفعنا بذلك، ويدخلنا في دائرة عباده المكرمين، إنه على كل شيء قدير، وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وص

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Boost startup – 5 wonderful tips to succeed
1. Boost Startup – 5 Wonderful Tips to
Succeed
Every month, more than 476,000 new businesses come into existence,
which look for a business model that will help them succeed in this
competitive market. Survival becomes a challenge for most of these
companies during the early years; half of these companies fail at the
budding stage itself, as they are unable to define their model or their
goals. It doesn’t matter how popular & big your product or idea is, if you
are not making profits your startup will never be able to become a
sustainable business.
Here, we have 5 wonderful tips that can help your startup succeed in the
market and attain the desired goal:
Search for the Right Market
Lots of people believe that it is the product, while a few others believe
that it is the team that helps a startup achieve success. In reality, these
aspects are just multipliers of success. Startup businesses need to look
for a great market, because nothing is possible without one.
2. According to Marc Andreessen, “market is the most important factor in
a start-up’s success or failure. Why? In a great market, a market with
lots of real potential customers, the market pulls the product out of the
startup.”
Are you aware of the market needs that you are looking to fulfil? If yes,
you just need to come out with a practical product, which may not be
great but fulfils the needs perfectly. Your team may not be an expert, but
your team should be able to product a viable product.
Focus on Important Things
It is true that the early years of a startup may be chaotic and full of
worries. It is essential that your wonderful ideas should also have the
capital to get off the ground. To make your start-up successful, you must
focus on lots of things and adopt many strategies that may or may not
work.
Being excited, you want to grow faster and accept all the opportunities,
thinking that they will be helpful for your business. But don’t struggle to
solve all the small issues that crop up. You need to focus only on
important things that will surely work for your business and help you
attain success.
Define Your Business Idea Clearly
For startup businesses, it is essential to define clear ideas and goals.
They need to think about what differentiates their product and service
from competitors’ markets. Once you are clear about what you can offer
and in what sector you are playing an important role, you should focus
on how to develop a superior product.
For instance, in 1985, Cinnabon started with a very clear cut idea that it
wanted to become the world’s best cinnamon roll. Today, they are a
3. global phenomenon. So, make sure that it all begins with a real and clear
business idea and an attractive offer.
Have a Strong & Passionate Team
Having a strong and passionate team that enjoys working together and
has a high passion for business is one of the best things for the startup. It
is most important to hire such team in order to get your dream business
off the ground and drive it towards success.
There is one popular saying from Andy Rachleff, co-founder of
Wealthfront and Benchmark Capital, “When a great team meets a lousy
market, market wins. When a lousy team meets a great market, market
wins. When a great team meets a great market, something special
happens.”
The capability of building an amazing and great team is what that sets
apart the top and the mediocre entrepreneurs. To develop and retain a
culture of A-players, people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk are popular to
go beyond.
Track Advertising Efficiency
Today, high customer acquisition costs (CAC) have become start-up
killers. When most of the start-ups fail, they are looking forward to
CAC, which makes sense when compared to the Lifetime Value of
Customer (LTV).
When it comes to talking about profitability, two metrics are everything
that matters. Most of the expenses possible go towards scaling the
business once your product is ready to launch.
Therefore, it is compulsory to pay attention to how much money you
could make based on pre-acquired customers, and take further steps to
optimize it. You should also look at the CAC that you will probably
acquire immediately.
4. Similarly, it is important that you keep experimenting with the different
marketing strategies, until you find a CAC efficient enough to convert it
into a business. If possible, ensure the CAC to be 1/3 of LTV to be able
to recover it within a year or less.
With these tips, you will be able to boost your start-up efficiently. They
will help you attain your business goals easily.
