Etiquette of Dua
--------------------------
It is important for us to observe the etiquette of dua so that we may derive
maximum benefit from them. These have been beautifully summarised by
Imam al-Nawawi, where he lists ten prime conditions and dispositions that
we should observe:
1. Seek out the blessed times of Prayer: The Day of the Standing on
the plain of Arafat [during Hajj]; the month of fasting [Ramadan];
Fridays [days of congregational prayers]; and during the night
[especially the last third of it].
2. Seek out the blessed moments for Prayer when the heart is
receptive and tender: immediately after the five daily prescribed
Prayers; between the call to Prayer (adhan) and the final call to
Prayer (iqama); when breaking fast; while on the field of battle;
when rainfall occurs; and when bowing down [sujud] in Prayer, for
the Prophet said, `The worshipper is closest to his Lord while
bowing down. So pray much then.' (Muslim.)
3. Face the direction of Makka and raise the hands [with palms
spread upward] to the level of the shoulders.
4. Voice supplications in a moderate tone that is neither too loud nor
too soft.
5. Prayers need not be said in a forced rhymed prose [an often
natural form in Arabic].
6. Implore God with humility and reverence.
7. Be fervent in Prayer and optimistic of the answer. Sufyan ibn
Uyayna stated: What a person knows of himself should never stop
him from supplicating to God for He answered the most evil
creatures, Iblis [Shaytan], when he said, `Give me respite until the
Day they are resurrected. God said, You are of the respired ones.'
[al-Araf 7: 14.]
8. Repeat requests, preferably three times, and don't be impatient or
despondent in waiting for an answer.
9. Begin supplication with the mention of God [His Names, praises
and attributes] before asking of Him, and entreat God to send His
blessings and peace upon the Prophet.
10. Strive for inner purity with repentance and sincere devotion.
Surah Al-Fatiha is one of the most profound Surah's of the Quran. It is the opening Surah of the Quran; the Surah without which Salah is invalid.
This is a quick presentation that will detail all the gems that are hidden in this amazing Surah.

A Glimpse at the Beauty of Islam
Author: Al-Arabi Abu Hamzah | Pages: 104 | Size: 32 MB
Islam has changed the lives of countless millions of people, yet remains unknown or misunderstood to many more millions. It only needs to be presented and understood. This publication is a summary of different facets of Islam which are briefly introduced.
Saleh Al-Saleh
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 28 | Size: 1 MB
Hajj and Tawheed: Hajj is to set out for Makkah to worship Allaah by performing certain religious rights in accordance with the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunnah. It is a time in which to call upon Allaah to purify the self from any worship to anyone other than him.
This booklet explains the basic rights of Hajj. It also notes that the tawheed of Allaah requires the Muslim to follow the perfect way of worship, demonstrated by Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and as understood by the Sahaabah who were the best of mankind.
The ayaat (verses) of the Qur'an compiled herein are generally known as “Manzil”. The elders were particularly punctual in reciting this “Manzil” from amongst other du`as and formulas for protection and cure. It was customary to make special arrangements for children to commit this “Manzil” to memory.
These are 33 verses of the Quran:

THE MOST EXCELLENT MANNER OF
SEEKING FORGIVENESS
A book based on the Lecture delivered by
Shaikh Abdur-Razzaaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbaad ...
So from Shaddaad ibn Aws from the Prophet that he said, “The noblest and most excellent manner of seeking forgiveness is that the servant says: ‘O Allaah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshiped except You. You created me, and I am Your slave/worshiper. And I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as far as I am able. I seek Your refuge from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You all the favors
that You have bestowed upon me. And I confess all my sins to You. So forgive me, since none can forgive sins except You.’
The Prophet said, “Whoever says it in the day, with firm conviction in it, and dies in that day before evening – then he is from the people of Paradise. Whoever says it in the night, with firm conviction in it, and he dies before the Morning – then he is from the people of Paradise.” #islam #seekingforgiveness #learnaboutislam

نور الاقتباس في مشكاة وصية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لابن عباس
(ابن رجب الحنبلي)
Nurul Iqtibas fi Mishkat Wasiyyah Al-Nabi li Ibn 'Abbas
Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) Advice to Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه)
-------
The spiritual and wordly life of a Muslim is focused on Allah. Success in both entails knowing Allah, loving Him, trusting Him and worshipping Him alone. It requires the Muslim to learn his religion, discipline his soul and refine his conduct. The Muslim must have firm faith that everything that happens to him in this life is good for him, that his Lord would never decree anything that would be detrimental and, as such, he is required to be patient and steadfast in the face of adversity and grateful at times of ease.
In this treatise, the author, ibn Rajab sets out to explain the advice the Prophet (SAW) imparted to ibn Abbas (radiyAllahu’anhuma), ‘Safeguard Allah and He will safeguard you. Safeguard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease and He will know you in times of hardship. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seek aid, turn to Allah. The Pen has dried (after having written) all that will occur…’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that if a Muslim was to understand this hadith and follow it closely, he would be well on his way to fulfilling the goals highlighted above. It is for this reason that ibn al-Jawzi said, ‘I pondered this hadith and it struck me with awe; I was so astounded that I almost became light headed… The prevailing ignorance of this hadith and the lack of understanding thereof is truly distressing!’.
‘Abdu’l-Qadir al-Jilani said, ‘Every believer should make this hadith a mirror to his heart, his axiom, his shelter and his topic of conversation. He should act by it in all times of motion and stillness so that he can be saved in this world and in the Hereafter.’
Imam ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d.795H) was a scholar praised extensively for his vast knowledge, ascetism and expertise in the Hanbali school of thought as well as in hadith and its related sciences. His writings, gatherings and sermons were full of blessings and he was loved by all. He has written numerous monographs explaining individual hadiths of which this one, a series of which is currently being published by Daar us-Sunnah Publishers.
The translator has added appendices which comprise further explanations to the hadith by Mulla Ali al-Qari, ibn ‘Allan, and ibn ‘Uthaymin
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

O Allah! Assist me concerning my religion by

O Allah! You are the Most deserving to be remembered,
the Most deserving to be worshiped,
the Most victorious among those who are sought,
the Most clement among those who are owned,
the Most generous among those who are asked,
the Most bounteous among those who give.
You are the Sovereign, there is no partner besides You.
You are the One, to You there is no peer.
Everything will perish save You Face.
You will never be obeyed save by Your permission,
and will never be disobeyed save by Your permission.
Being obeyed, You thank, being disobeyed You forgive.
15. You are the most near Witnessing (One)
and the most near Preserver.
You came in between the souls,
seized the foreheads,
wrote (all things) people left behind,
and recorded periods (for everything).
Before You, all hidden secrets of the hearts are revealed.
The lawful is what You permit,
the unlawful is what You prohibit,
and the Religion is what You legislated.
Creation is Yours and the servant is Yours and
You are the Ever Compassionate, the Ever Merciful.
I ask You with the Light of Your Face to which
the heavens and the earth are shining,
with every right which is Yours,
and with the right of those who ask You
to accept me in this morning and
to protect me against the Fire.

our sight and our strength for as long as we live,
and make that enjoyment our heir
(so that when we are gone those who have
benefitted through us will remember to pray for us),
and place our vengeance on those who have wronged us,

give not power over us to those who would not fear You,
