Digitizing Out of Commerce and Orphan Works : a (critical) french perspectiveCalimaq S.I.Lex
This document summarizes the debate around digitizing out-of-commerce and orphan works in France. It discusses the ReLIRE system established in 2012 to collectively manage rights for unavailable books published before 2001. However, some authors strongly oppose this law, arguing rights should return to authors for out-of-commerce works. There is also uncertainty around how the ReLIRE system and a proposed EU directive on orphan works may interact. Alternatives discussed include fair use models and establishing exceptions allowing libraries to digitize and provide access to out-of-commerce works.

The document is a presentation about becoming better Muslims and understanding the purpose of life. It discusses that Allah created humans to worship Him, which involves gaining knowledge of Him through reflection on His names and following His guidance. True worship leads to self-purification and success.

The ultimate destination is Allah.
What makes clinical trials in orphan indications so special?Sebastien Duval
Clinical trials in orphan indications have unique characteristics. Due to the rarity of these diseases, trials have small sample sizes, require many study sites, and proactive recruitment. They may justify placebos without concurrent treatment and open-label extensions. Motivated patients are willing to participate, but require proactive outreach. SynteractHCR has experience conducting over 90 rare disease trials in over 30 indications.
This document outlines the key components of a community strategy including supporting tools for monitoring, reporting, gamification and search. It also references magic content and channels as important elements.

This surah was revealed in Makkah during the early period of prophethood to reassure the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that he had not displeased Allah in any way by the temporary pause in revelations. It comforted him by saying his influence and Islam's following would grow steadily. It reminded him of Allah's continuous blessings and support throughout his life, from orphanhood onwards, telling him to therefore be kind to orphans and grateful to Allah.

Este documento describe la conversión del autor del catolicismo al Islam. Creció como católico en Venezuela y siempre sintió un gran amor por Jesús. Sin embargo, comenzó a cuestionar algunos aspectos de la doctrina cristiana, como por qué Dios no salvó a Jesús de la crucifixión. Esto, junto con experiencias paranormales en su juventud, debilitaron su fe. Más tarde, mientras estudiaba en los Estados Unidos, un compañero musulmán le introdujo en el estudio del Islam, lo que finalmente lo llevó
This document describes the author's journey from Catholicism to Islam. It details how he was deeply devoted to Jesus as a child but had questions about Christian doctrines like the crucifixion. As a teenager, he was influenced by paranormal experiences. When he witnessed Christians stealing, it further shook his faith. This led him to seek answers in Islam, where he found monotheism and teachings consistent with the original messages of Jesus and other prophets.
This document discusses human rights in Islam and common misconceptions about them. It begins by introducing the three main trends in defining human rights - prioritizing individual rights, prioritizing societal rights, and balancing the two. Islam takes the third approach of balancing individual and societal rights. It established many human rights principles over 14 centuries ago. Modern definitions of human rights often have political biases and do not truly protect the oppressed. The document argues that properly implementing Islamic law and principles would better guarantee human rights and remove oppression.

The Prophetic Medicine
This book is the panacea for those in search of good health. It is a magnificent work that is a treasure every Muslim household. Although it was written by the author, Ibn Al-Qayyim, over six hundred years ago, it is extremely timely work for our generation in which health and natural health care products have become an important aspect of the lives of so many. The author presents the guidance of the Prophet in dealing with a variety of health issues, including treatment of ailment and preventive remedies to keep the body fit. As the Qur'an and Sunnah are the main sources of Islamic lifestyle, it only stands to reason that they should likewise be referred to in the matters of health and fitness. This is the approach taken by Ibn Al-Qayyim as he presents Verses of the Qur'an and statements of the Prophet as his main reference in these issues of health and medicines.

2. How children can honour their parents
What forms of ibadah can a child do for his/her parents while they are living
and when they have died? Please give examples from the quran، sunnah، and
pratice of the rightous salaf.
Praise be to Allaah.
The rights of parents over their children may be summed up as treating them well in
all matters, and behaving with them kindly as Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents”
[al-Ahqaaf 46:15]
“And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents”
[al-‘Ankaboot 29:8]
“but behave with them in the world kindly”
[Luqmaan 31:15]
Shaykh al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “be dutiful and kind to
parents” means: treat them kindly in all ways, in word and in deed.
Tafseer al-Sa’di, p. 524.
One of the most important acts of worship that the child is asked to do with regard to
his parents is to obey them, to do as they ask and to refrain from what they tell him
not to do. So if his father tells him to do something, he hastens to do what he is told,
and if he tells him not to do something, he hastens to give it up, so long as that does
not involve any disobedience towards Allaah and his Messenger, because there is no
obedience to any created being if itinvolves disobedience towards the Creator.
Then he can make du’aa’ for them and pray for forgiveness for them, especially when
they grow old and weak and are in need of someone to treat them kindly and take
care of their needs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
3. “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life,
say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in
terms of honour.
24. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy,
and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I
was young’”
[al-Isra’ 17:23-24]
Allaah has given examples in His Book of kind treatment of parents. Allaah says of
His slave Yahya ibn Zakariyya:
“(It was said to his son): ‘O Yahya (John)! Hold fast the Scripture [the Tawraat
(Torah)].’ And We gave him wisdom while yet a child.
13. And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us, and
pure from sins [i.e. Yahya (John)] and he was righteous,
14. And dutiful towards his parents, and he was neither arrogant nor
disobedient (to Allaah or to his parents).
15. And Salaam (peace) be on him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and
the day he will be raised up to life (again)!”
[Maryam 19:12-15]
Ibn Jareer al-Tabari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Here Allaah says: “And
dutiful towards his parents” meaning that he was quick to obey them, loving
towards them, and not disobedient.
“and he was neither arrogant nor disobedient” – here Allaah tells us that he was
not too proud to obey Allaah or his parents, rather he was humble and submissive
towards Allaah and his parents, doing what he was commanded to and avoiding what
was forbidden to him; he neither disobeyed his Lord nor his parents.
Tafseer al-Tabari, 16/58
4. And Allaah said of His slave ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (interpretation of the meaning):
“He [‘Eesa (Jesus)] said: ‘Verily, I am a slave of Allaah, He has given me the
Scripture and made me a Prophet;
31. And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me
Salaah (prayer), and Zakaah, as long as I live.”
32. And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest’”
[Maryam 19:30-32]
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The words “And dutiful to my
mother” mean: and He has commanded me to be dutiful to my mother. This is
mentioned after obedience to his Lord, because Allaah often mentions the command
to worship him and to be dutiful to one’s parents together, as in the verses where He
says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents”
[al-Isra’ 17:23]
“give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination”
[Luqmaan 31:14]
And the words “and made me not arrogant, unblest’” mean, He has not made me
arrogant and too proud to worship and obey Him and to honour my mother, and thus
be doomed as a result of that.
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/121
As for after the parents have died, the child can do many things, such as the
following:
1 – If he has wealth, and his parents were in debt, he can discharge their duty by
paying off the debt for them.
2 – If he has wealth and his parents had not performed Hajj, he may perform Hajj on
their behalf, or pay for someone else to perform Hajj on their behalf.
5. 3 – He may pray for forgiveness for them and pray for mercy for them. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when
I was young’”
[al-Isra’ 17:24]
Shaykh Ibn Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this means, pray for mercy
for them, when they are alive and after they die.
Tafseer al-Sa’di, p. 524
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “A man may be raised in status in Paradise and will say, Where
did this come from? And it will be said: From your son’s praying for forgiveness
for you.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 3660; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh
al-Jaami’, no. 1617. This applies if the child has reached the age of discernment and
is able to earn money. But if the child is young and does not yet understand things,
then these words do not apply in his case.
An example of how the righteous salaf honoured their parents is that of ‘Abd-Allaah
ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him):
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Dinaar from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that a man
from among the Bedouins met him on the road to Makkah. ‘Abd-Allaah greeted him
with salaam, seated him on the donkey that he was riding and gave him a turban that
he had been wearing on his head. Ibn Dinar said: We said to him: May Allaah guide
you, they are just Bedouins and they would be content with little. ‘Abd-Allaah said:
The father of this man was a friend of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab and I heard the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The best act
of kindness is for the son to uphold ties (of friendship) with those who were his
father’s friends.” Narrated by Muslim, 2552.
According to another report narrated by Ibn ‘Umar: when he went out to Makkah, he
had a donkey which he would ride when he got tired of riding his camel, and a turban
6. which he tied around his head. One day whilst he was riding that donkey, a Bedouin
passed by him. He said: Are you not So and so, the son of So and so? He said: Yes.
He gave him the donkey that he was riding and said: Ride it. And he gave him the
turban that he had been wearing on his head, and he said: Tie it around your head.
Some of his companions said: May Allaah forgive you, you have given this Bedouin
a donkey that you used to ride when you got tired of riding your camel and a turban
that you used to wear on your head. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The best act of kind of kindness is for a
man to honour his father’s friend after he has died,” and (this man’s) father was a
friend of ‘Umar.
Abu Hurayrah was appointed in charge of Madeenah by Marwaan. He lived in Dhu’l-
Hulayfah (approximately ten kilometers from Madeenah) and his mother lived in one
house and he lived in another. When he wanted to go out he would stand at her door,
and say: Peace be upon you, O my mother, and the mercy of Allaah and His
blessings. And she would say: And upon you, O my son, and the mercy of Allaah and
His blessings. And he would say: May Allaah have mercy on you, as you brought me
up when I was young. And she would say: May Allaah have mercy on you as you
took care of me when I grew old. Then when he wanted to come in, he would do
likewise.
And Allaah knows best.
