This document contains a collection of hadiths from Imam Nawawi's reference book "The Gardens of Righteousness" pertaining to the weak and poor. The hadiths emphasize taking care of orphans, widows, the needy, and women. They state that the poor and weak will enter paradise before the rich. The Prophet taught to make prayers short in consideration of the weak, support orphans and widows, include the poor in social gatherings, and ride in the back of caravans to help the weak. Kind treatment of women is also stressed.

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
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.
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.
2. praise and peace be upon him, did not comment.
Not long after another man passed by and he asked: ‘What do you
think of his one?’ He answered: ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and
peace be upon him, he is one of the poor Muslims. If he proposed
marriage his proposal would not be accepted, if he offered advice
his advice would be rejected, and if he spoke he would not be
listened to.’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: ‘That
one is better than the earth full of those like the former.’”

mercy on whomsoever I will; and you are Hell, My Punishment.
Through you I will punish whosoever I will. It is for Me to fill both of
you.’”

your vows.”

the Mosque. One day the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
missed that person and made inquiries and was told that the person
had died. He asked: ‘Why didn't you tell me?’ They had not
considered the matter of any importance. So he said: ‘Show me the
2
3. grave’ and he prayed over it saying: ‘Graves cover those in them
with darkness but Allah illuminates them for the inhabitants because
of my intercession for them.’"

SOME OF THE AFFAIRS DURING THE NIGHT OF ASCENT
|H 259

the majority of those entering it were the poor; the wealthy were held
back. Then those compelled to the Fire were ordered to it and I
stood at the gate of Hell and saw the majority of those who entered
were women.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Osama who related that the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, said this.
THREE BABIES WHO SPOKE IN THEIR CRADLE
|H 260
“Three people spoke when they were in their cradle one of whom
was Jesus, the son of Mary.
There was a man called Juraij who was pious, a great worshiper
who had built a sanctuary. One day when he was praying his mother
came and called him. He supplicated: ‘Lord, my mother and my
prayers.’ He continued with his worshiping and she returned. The
next day she came again and called to him but he supplicated
again: ‘Lord, my mother and my prayers’ and continued with his
worshiping. The third day she came again and called to him and he
supplicated once more saying: ‘Lord, my mother and my prayers’
and continued with his worshiping. She supplicated saying: ‘O Allah,
do not let him die until he has seen the face of a prostitute!’
The piety of Juraij became a topic of conversation among the
Children of Israel. Now among them was a beautiful prostitute. She
told them: ‘If you like, I can make trouble for Juraij.’ She tried to
seduce him but Juraij paid no attention to her. Then she went to a
shepherd who lived near the sanctuary of Juraij and offered herself
to him and became pregnant. After she had given birth she claimed
that the child was Juraij's.
The Children of Israel went to him and brought him out of his
sanctuary, demolished it and beat him. He asked: ‘Why are you
doing this?’ They replied: ‘You committed adultery with this
3
4. prostitute and she has borne your child!’ He asked: ‘Where is the
child?’ So they brought it to him. Then he said: ‘Now leave me alone
so that I might pray.’ Then he prayed, and when he finished he
picked up the child, sat it upon his knee and asked it: ‘Who is your
father?’ The child replied: ‘So and so, the shepherd.’ Then the
Children of Israel turned to Juraij, kissed him and touched him
saying: ‘We shall rebuild your sanctuary out of gold!’ But he said:
‘Rebuild it from clay just as it was.’ So they did.
The third was a boy who was being suckled by his mother when a
man wearing fine clothes rode by on a fast, fine looking horse. The
mother supplicated: ‘Allah, make my son like him.’ The infant
released his mother's breast, turned and looked at the man and
said: ‘Allah, do not let me be like him.’ Then he turned to his
mother's breast and resumed the suckling. At this point the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, demonstrated the suckling of the
child by putting his forefinger into his mouth and sucking it.
Then he continued: Then some people passed by who were beating
a young woman. Those who were beating her said: 'You have
committed adultery and theft.' She said repeatedly: 'Sufficient for me
is Allah, an Excellent Guardian is He.' The mother supplicated: ‘O
Allah, do let my son be like her.’ Thereupon he stopped his suckling,
looked at the young woman and said: ‘O Allah, let me be like her.’
Then a dialog between the mother and her son took place. She said
to him: ‘When a handsome, well to do man passed by and I
supplicated: O Allah, make my son like that one, but you said: 'Allah,
do not let me be like him.' Then, when some people passed by
beating a young girl saying: 'You have committed adultery and theft,
I supplicated: 'O Allah, do not let my son be like her', but you said:
'O Allah, let me be like her.' The boy replied: ‘The man is a tyrant,
that is why I said: 'O Allah, do not let me be like him.' As for the girl,
they said she had committed adultery but she had not. They also
accused her of stealing but she is not a thief so I said: 'O Allah, let
me be like her.'"
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
THOSE WHO CALL UPON THEIR LORD, MORNING AND
EVENING
|H 261
“There were six of us with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, when the unbelievers said to him: ‘Drive these people out of
here, least they become familiar with us’ - and we were, myself, ibn
Masud, a man from the Huzail, Bilal, and two men whose names I
do not recall - the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, thought
in himself what Allah willed to occur, then Allah sent down: ‘Do not
drive away those who call on their Lord morning and evening,
seeking only His Face....’” 6:52 Koran.

two, or a few morsels. The one who is really poor is he, who, despite
his poverty refrains from asking. A poor person is not the one who

two or a few dates. Indeed, it is one who does not have enough to
suffice him, and does not disclose his poverty so that he might be
given charity, neither does he stand up to ask.”

WELL

with part of what you have given them,
except when they commit a clear indecency.
Live with them honorably....” 4:19 Koran
“You will not be able to be just between your women,
even though you are eager.
Do not be altogether partial so that you leave her
7
8. as if she were suspended.
If you reform and are cautious,
Allah is the Forgiver, the Merciful.” 4:129 Koran
TREAT WOMEN KINDLY
|H 274
“Treat women kindly. Woman was created from a rib and the most
bent part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to straighten it you will
break it, but if you leave it alone it will remain bent. So treat women
kindly.
A woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten it you will break it. If you
wish to benefit from her you can do so regardless of its bending.
Woman has been created from a rib and you cannot straighten her.
If you wish to benefit from her do so regardless of the bend. If you
try to straighten her you will break her, and breaking her means
divorce.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
DO NOT STRIKE YOUR WIFE ON THE FACE
|H 278
“Mu'awiah asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘What
are the rights of a wife from her husband?’ He replied: ‘Feed her
when you feed yourself; clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not
strike her on the face, do not abuse her and do not abandon her
except inside the house.’”
