Hadrat Usman ibn Affan was born in 573 AC in Mecca to a wealthy and noble family. He accepted Islam early on despite opposition from his own family. He demonstrated his commitment to Islam by migrating to Abyssinia to escape persecution in Mecca. Usman financially supported the Muslim community and helped expand the Prophet's mosque. He was chosen as the third caliph by a panel after Umar's death and led expansions of the Islamic empire. The Prophet spoke very highly of Usman and his role in heaven, emphasizing his virtue and importance to the Muslim community.

Muhammad (Sm), Hazrat Prophet Muhammad (Sm) was born in the Year of the Elephant (Amul-e-Fil), when the Yemeni ruler Ashabul Fil Abraha tried to attack the Holy Ka'ba (Baitullah) with an army and elephants in his train. It was on a Monday in the month of Rabiul Awwal in the Arabic calendar that Hazrat Muhammad (Sm) was born. There are four different dates cited by various authorities as his birthday: the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th day of the month of Rabiul Awwal. But there is no doubt that he was born on the Monday that fell between the 8th and 12th that month. Majority of Islamic scholars believe that the 12th of Rabiul Awwal is the most probable date. Hafiz Ibne Hazar Al-Askalani and Ibne Aseer are among those who have accepted this date. It should be noted that according to some historians the Prophet's date of birth coincided with the attack that was carried out by Abraha on 20 April 570 or 571, although others have mentioned 19 April and 21 April as possible dates.
The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.
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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Biography
Uthmān ibn ‘Affān (RA)
Date Of Birth:
11 November 644
Death:
20 June 656
Burial:
Jannat al-Baqi, Madinah
3. Life Before Islam of Hazrat
'Uthman:
Hadrat Uthman (R.A.) belonged to a noble family of Quraish in Mecca. His ancestral
pedigree joins with that of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) in the fifth
generation. He was from the "Umayyah" family of Quraish, which was a well
reputed and honourable family of Mecca during the pre-Islamic days. In the famous
battle of "Fajar" the Commander-in-Chief of the Quraish army, Harb bin Umayyad
was from the same family. The descendants of this family are known as "Banu
Umayyad" or "Umawwin".
Hadrat 'Uthman (R.A.) was born in 573 A.C. His patronymic name was "Abu Amr"
and father's name was "Affan bin Abdul-As". He was known by the name "'Uthman
ibn ‘Affan". Hadrat Uthman was one of the few persons of Mecca who knew reading
and writing. When he grew up, he started business in cloth which made him very
rich. He used his money in good ways and always helped the poor. 'Uthman (R.A.)
was a soft natured and kind hearted man. He did not hesitate to spend any amount
of money on seeing a man in trouble in order to remove his misery. For his noble
qualities the Meccans had great respect for him.
4. Life After Acceptance Of
Islam:
Hadrat Uthman (R.A.) accepted Islam when Abu Bakr (R.A.) preached to him. He was one
of those Muslims who accepted Islam in its very early days. Though "Banu Hashim" (the
Holy Prophet's family) was rival to "Banu Umayyah" (Hadrat Uthman's family), and the
latter was in power at that time, yet Uthman (R.A.) did not hesitate to acknowledge the
prophethood of Hadrat Muhammad (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) which meant authority
and supremacy over "Banu Hashim". This was one of the reasons why Quraish leaders,
belonging to Banu Umayyah (like Abu Sufyan) were opposing the Holy
Prophet(Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam). Thus acceptance of Islam in such a position shows
the clear-mindedness of Hadrat Uthman (R.A.). When he accepted Islam, the Quraish
who once loved Uthman became his enemies. Even his relatives like Hakam (one of his
uncles) began to rebuke him and chastised him severely.
One of the daughters of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam), Hadrat Ruqayyah
(R.A.) was married to one of the sons of Abu Lahb (an arch-enemy of Islam). When the
Holy Prophet(Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) started to preach Islam, Abu Lahb asked his
son ‘Utbah to divorce her. Then the Holy Prophet married her to Hadrat Uthman (R.A.)
5. Emigration to Abyssinia
When life in Mecca became hard for the Muslims, he went to the Holy
Prophet (Sallallahu'alaihi wa Sallam) and sought permission to take refuge
in Abyssinia along with other Muslims. The permission was granted. Hadrat
Uthman and his wife crossed the Red Sea with other Muslims and
migrated to Abyssinia. At the time of his migration the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu'alaihi wa Sallam) remarked: "Uthman is the first man of my
Ummah to migrate (for sake of Allah) with his family." He stayed there for a
couple of months and came back to Mecca when he was wrongly informed
by somebody that the Quraish had accepted Islam.
6. Title Of "Dhun-nurain“:
Hadrat Uthman (R.A.) migrated second time with other Muslims to
Medina. He could not participate in the first battle of Islam against non-
believers of Mecca at Badr, because his wife was very ill. She died before
the Muslims returned from Badr after the victory. The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) gave him glad tidings that he would get the
same reward as though he had participated in the battle. After the death
of Hadrat Ruqayyah (R.A.), the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam)
married his next daughter, "Umm Kulthum" with him and he was given
the title of "Dhun-nurain" i.e., the man with two lights.
7. The Khilafat Of Hazrat
Uthman:
Before his death, Hadrat ‘Umar (R.A.) appointed a panel of six men to select a "Khalifah"
from amongst themselves and then sought his approval through Bai'at (Pledge of
loyalty) by Muslim Public. He also instructed them to make the nomination within three
days. The panel included Uthman,'Ali, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, Talha, Zubair and 'Abdur
Rahman bin 'Auf (Ridwanullah-i-'Alaihim) as the members.
The panel could not arrive at any decision even after long meetings. Then, Hadrat
'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf proposed somebody to withdraw his name in order to decide
the matter. When he got no response, he withdrew his own name. The remaining
members agreed that he could take a decision. He consulted each member individually
except Hadrat Talha (R.A.) who was not present at Medina. It so happened that Hadrat
Uthman proposed 'Ali's name and Hadrat 'Ali proposed Uthman's name for the post of
Khalifah. But Zubair and Sa'd (R.A.) were more in favour of Hadrat Uthman than Hadrat
‘Ali. After more consultations with other companions and thinking over the problem
during the third night, Hadrat ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf(R.A.) gave his decision in the
morning of the fourth day in favour of Hadrat Uthman (R.A.).
8. Services Of
Hazrat Usman:
He was a very prominent Muslim to serve Islam by all means. He participated in almost all the battles with the non-
believers in which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) had also taken part, except "Badr". At the time of
the "Treaty of Hudaibiya" he was sent to Mecca to negotiate with the non-believers. Then the Muslims were wrongly
informed about his murder by the non-believers of Mecca. It is for this reason that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam) sought a pledge by the Muslims to fight with the non-believers in revenge of his murder. That
pledge is known as "Bai'at al-Ridwan" (the Pledge of Ridwan). For Uthman’s pledge, the Holy Prophet(Sallallahu
'alaihi wa Sallam) put his left hand (representing Uthman's hand) on his right hand.
When the Muhajirin (Emigrants) from Mecca came to Medina, they had great difficulty in getting drinking water.
Hadrat Uthman (R.A.) bought a well named "bi’r-i-Rumah” from a Jew for twenty thousand dirhams for free use of
Muslims. That was the first trust ever made in the history of Islam. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam)
gave him the glad tidings of Paradise for this act.
When the number of Muslims increased, the Prophet's mosque became too small to accommodate the increasing
population, it was Uthman (R.A.) who responded to the Prophet's call and bought land for its extension. When the
Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) went to the expedition of Tabuk, Hadrat Uthman bore the expenses for
one third Islamic army (i.e., about 10,000 men). He also gave one thousand camels, fifty horses and one thousand
Dinars (gold coins) to support the rest of the army. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu'alaihi wa Sallam) remarked on this,
"Nothing will do any harm to Uthman from this day, whatever he does."
9. Sayings Of Prophet Muhammad
(s.a.w.w) About Hazrat Uthman:
1. Every Prophet will have a special companion of Him in the Heaven, and my
companion there will be Usman. (Ibn-e-Majah)
2. Should I not feel shame from Usman to whom the angels feel shame from.
(Muslim)
3. Oh Usman!, if ALLAH some day give you this government and the hypocrites
want you to put off this shirt (government) which ALLAH gave you, then you
should not put it off. [Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) repeated these words
three times] (Ibn-e-Majah, Tirimzi)
4. Once a funeral came in front of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) to offer Salah
(funeral prayer). Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) didn't offered the prayer of that
person and went back. On being asking Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) said: He
kept hatred from Usman, thus ALLAH kept hatred from him. (Mishkawt)
