This document outlines the structure and content of an "Understanding Islam" course being offered at Gulf Coast State College in Spring 2013. The 6-week course will cover topics like the articles of faith in Islam, the five pillars of Islam, Islam as a way of life, and Islamic contributions to society. Classes will include instructor-led sessions, guest speakers, group discussions, and student presentations. The overall objectives are for students to gain a basic understanding of Islamic teachings and view humanity's questions from an Islamic perspective.
Throughout history Allah (Arabic for the One God) has guided mankind through His prophets. Some prophets brought new revealed laws and teachings whilst other prophets were those who followed and revived earlier teachings by removing misconceptions and misinterpretations that had emerged over time. Islam claims to be the final and complete religion for mankind, with the Holy Qur’an as the final Divine scripture. However this does not mean that mankind too had reached a stage of perfection after which there would be no need for any reformers. Like followers of other religions before them, the followers of Islam also drifted away from the Divine message.
It was only logical, therefore, that Allah should send a prophet for this age as well to guide mankind back to true teachings of Islam.
By rejuvenating the teachings of Islam rather than adding to them the prophet would be subordinate to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the prophet of Islam.
This is the third lecture in a five year lecture series on Russian History. This lecture discussed the turnover in power from Gorbachev to Yelsin. It talks about Yelsin strong points and his problem areas and his place in History.
Jackie Young (Sustainable Development Coordinator Plymouth City Council/Plymouth Analysts Network) talks to the SWO Energy Policy Seminar on 'Measuring Resource Use'.

Title: The Transformative Power of Computer Usage in Today's World
Ladies and gentlemen,
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century, few phenomena have had as profound an impact as the widespread adoption and utilization of computers. From personal computing to artificial intelligence, from social networking to scientific research, computers have become ubiquitous tools that shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Today, I stand before you to explore the transformative power of computer usage in our modern world.
First and foremost, let us consider the realm of communication. Never before in human history have we been so interconnected, thanks to the advent of the internet and social media platforms. Computers serve as our gateways to the digital realm, facilitating instant communication with individuals across the globe. Whether it's through email, messaging apps, or video conferencing tools, computers have revolutionized the way we connect with one another, breaking down barriers of distance and time.
Moreover, the democratization of information is another hallmark of computer usage in today's world. The internet is a vast repository of knowledge, accessible to anyone with a computer and an internet connection. From educational resources to scholarly research, from news updates to DIY tutorials, the wealth of information available at our fingertips is staggering. Computers empower individuals to learn, explore, and discover at their own pace, fostering a culture of lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity.
In addition to communication and information access, computers have also revolutionized industries and economies around the world. The rise of e-commerce has transformed the way we shop, allowing consumers to browse and purchase goods and services online with unprecedented ease and convenience. From Amazon to Alibaba, from eBay to Etsy, online marketplaces have become virtual shopping malls where millions of transactions take place every day, transcending geographical boundaries and time zones.
Furthermore, the integration of computers into various sectors, such as healthcare, finance, and transportation, has led to increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation. In healthcare, electronic medical records and telemedicine platforms enable healthcare providers to deliver quality care to patients regardless of their location. In finance, algorithmic trading and blockchain technology have revolutionized the way we invest, trade, and manage financial assets. In transportation, autonomous vehicles and smart traffic systems promise to revolutionize urban mobility and reduce congestion on our roads.
However, amidst the myriad benefits of computer usage, it is essential to acknowledge the challenges and concerns that accompany this technological revolution. Cybersecurity threats, such as hacking, malware, and data breaches, pose significant risks to individuals, businesses, and governments alike. Privacy concerns regarding
