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.

A young university student was walking with an old wise man when they came upon a pair of old shoes lying on the path. The student wanted to play a trick on the poor field worker who owned the shoes by hiding them, but the wise man suggested putting coins in the shoes instead to surprise the man. When the field worker found the coins in his shoes, astonishment and wonder were evident on his face as he gazed at the coins. The student was deeply affected by this act of kindness and realized the truth of saying that whoever relieves a believer of grief in this world will have grief relieved from them in the afterlife.
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation relative to its orbit around the sun. During the summer and winter solstices, the sun's rays hit the Earth most directly at the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, respectively, causing the longest and shortest days of the year in the northern and southern hemispheres. Twice a year during the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal lengths everywhere on Earth as the sun's rays hit the equator most directly.
Taming limits with approximate networkingJunaid Qadir
Internet is the linchpin of modern society, which the various threads of modern life weave around. But being a part of the bigger energy- guzzling industrial economy, it is vulnerable to disruption. It is widely believed that our society is exhausting its vital resources to meet our energy requirements, and the cheap fossil fuel fiesta will soon abate as we cross the tipping point of global oil production. We will then enter the long arc of scarcity, constraints, and limits— a post-peak “long emergency” that may subsist for a long time. To avoid the collapse of the networking ecosystem in this long emer- gency, it is imperative that we start thinking about how network- ing should adapt to these adverse “undeveloping” societal condi- tions. We propose using the idea of “approximate networking”— which will provide good-enough networking services by employ- ing contextually-appropriate tradeoffs—to survive, or even thrive, in the conditions of scarcity and limits.

Surah Masad details the revelation of verses cursing Abu Lahab and his wife for rejecting the message of Prophet Muhammad. Abu Lahab was an uncle of the Prophet who openly opposed and harmed him. When the Prophet gathered the Quraysh tribe and warned them of coming punishment, Abu Lahab protested angrily. Allah then revealed verses cursing Abu Lahab and saying his wealth and children will not benefit him and he will enter Hell.

IWCMC Invited Talk for the E-5G PresentationJunaid Qadir
The unprecedented rapid adoption of mobile technology has motivated great interest in using mobile technology for health (mHealth). Bolstering the mHealth promise are three important trends: Firstly, big data—through which there has been unprecedented commoditization and opening up of data through the instrumentation of modern phones and environments (e.g., using the native sensors in mobile phones or using embedded devices in the so-called Internet of Things). This opens up the opportunity of collecting individual level ``small data’’ that can be used to provide personalized healthcare. Secondly, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) advances have democratized diagnostic capabilities to some extent and further significant improvement is expected. With advances in computational capabilities of mobile phones, and with resource augmentation from clouds, it will be possible to support data and computation intensive mHealth applications. Finally, high-performance communication (e.g., high throughput and low latency) capabilities can change the landscape of healthcare in terms of operational efficiency and accuracy and enable a range of telehealth services. In this talk, we will present the research agenda for bringing the 5G-Enabled Health Revolution.

The document discusses effective learning techniques based on scientific research. It begins by contrasting a fixed versus growth mindset for learning. It then outlines common failures in learning like not engaging oneself, managing time poorly, or seeing failure and social aspects of learning. The bulk of the document discusses evidence-backed learning techniques like retrieval practice (testing), spacing out practice over time, and interleaving different topics. It emphasizes that while these techniques require more effort initially, they lead to better long-term retention and flexibility. The concluding remarks summarize that small changes can greatly improve learning, illusions of fluency should be avoided, retrieval practice and spaced interleaving should be incorporated, and some difficulty is desirable for durable learning.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

3. Concerning the necessity of loving him
“Say: ‘If your fathers or your sons or your brothers
or your wives or your tribe, or any wealth you have
acquired, or any business you fear may slump, or
any dwelling-places which please you, are dearer
to you than Allah and His Messenger and fighting
hard in jihad in His Way, then wait until Allah brings
about His command.’” (Al-Quran - 9:25)
The verse above alone is sufficient encouragement, proof and indication
of the necessity of the important obligation of loving the Prophet.
4. Concerning the necessity of loving him
In the discussed verse, Allah censures those whose
property, families and children are dearer to them
than Allah and His Messenger. He threatens them
by adding,
“Wait until Allah brings about His command.”
5. Concerning the necessity of loving him
Anas reported that the Prophet said,
“There are three things which cause anyone who
takes refuge in them to experience the sweetness
of belief - that Allah and His Messenger are more
beloved to him than anything else; that he loves a
man only for Allah; and that he dislikes the thought
of reverting to disbelief as much as he would
dislike being cast into the Fire.”
(al-Bukhari & Muslim)
6. Concerning the necessity of loving him
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah said,
“None of you will believe until I am more beloved
to him than his children, his father and all people.”
(al-Bukhari, Muslim & an-Nasa'i)
7. Concerning the necessity of loving him
'Umar ibn al-Khattab told the Prophet, quot;I love you
more than anything except my soul which is
between my two sides.quot;
The Prophet replied, “None of you will believe until
I am dearer to him than his own soul.”
'Umar said, quot;By the One who sent down the Book
on you, I love you more than my soul which is
between my two sides.quot;
The Prophet said, “'Umar, now you have it!” (al-
Bukhari)
8. Concerning the necessity of loving him
Sahl said, quot;Whoever does not think that the
Messenger is his master in all states or think that
he is under the dominion of the Prophet does not
taste the sweetness of his Sunna because the
Prophet said, “None of you will believe until I am
dearer to him than himself.” quot;
10. On the reward for loving the Prophet
Anas said that a man came to the Prophet and
asked, quot;When will the Last Hour come, Messenger
of Allah?quot; , “What have you prepared for it?” he
asked? He replied, quot;I have not prepared a lot of
prayer or fasting or charity for it, but I love Allah
and His Messenger.quot; The Prophet said, “You will be
with the one you love.”
(al-Bukhari)
11. On the reward for loving the Prophet
Safwan ibn Qudama said, quot;I emigrated to the
Prophet and went to him and said, 'Messenger of
Allah, give me your hand.' So he gave me his hand.
I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I love you.' He said, “A
man is with the one he loves.'” (at-Tirmidhi and an-
Nasa'i)
'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Anas related this
statement from the Prophet, and Abu Dharr also has something to the
same effect.
12. On the reward for loving the Prophet
It is related that a man came to the Prophet and
said, quot;Messenger of Allah, I love you more than my
family and my possessions. I remember you and I
cannot wait until I can come and look at you. I
remember that I will die and you will die and I
know that when you enter the Garden, you will be
raised up with the Prophets. When I enter it, I will
not see you.quot; Allah then revealed, “Whoever obeys
Allah and the Messenger, will be with those whom
Allah has blessed: the Prophets, the men of truth,
the martyrs and the righteous. And such people are
the best of company!” (Al-Quran - 4:68)
(at-Tabarani)
14. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger of Allah said,
“Those in my community with the strongest love
for me are the people who will come after me.
Some of them would give their family and wealth
to have seen me.”
(Muslim and al-Bukhari)
There is something similar from Abu Dharr.
15. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
'Abda bint Khalid ibn Ma'dan said, quot;Khalid never
went to bed without remembering how he yearned
for the Messenger of Allah and his Companions
among the Muhajirun and Ansar, and he would
name them. He said, 'They are my root and
branch, and my heart longs for them. I have
yearned for them a long time. My Lord, hasten my
being taken to You!'quot;
16. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
It is related that Abu Bakr said to the Prophet, quot;By
the One who sent you with the truth, I would be
happier if Abu Talib [the Prophet's uncle] were to
become Muslim than if Abu Quhayfa [his own
father] were to. That is because the Islam of Abu
Talib would delight you more.quot; 'Umar ibn al-Khattab
told al-'Abbas, quot;Your becoming a Muslim is dearer
to me than al-Khattab becoming a Muslim because
it is dearer to the Messenger of Allah.quot;
17. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
Ibn Ishaq said that the father, brother and husband
of one of the women of the Ansar were killed in the
Battle of Uhud fighting for the Messenger of Allah.
She asked, quot;What has happened to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace?quot; They said, quot;He is as well as you would like,
praise be to Allah!quot; She said, quot;Show him to me so I
can look at him.quot; When she saw him, she said,
quot;Every affliction is as nothing now that you are
safe.quot;
18. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
'Ali ibn Abi Talib was asked, quot;How was your love for
the Messenger of Allah?quot;
He replied, quot;By Allah, we loved him more than our
wealth, our sons, our fathers and our mothers, and
more than cold water in a time of great thirst.quot;
19. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
It is related that once 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar's foot
went numb. He was told, quot;Remember the most
beloved of people to you and it will go away!quot; He
shouted, quot;O Muhammad!quot; and the feeling returned.
When Bilal was near death, his wife called out, quot;O
sorrow!quot; Bilal said, quot;What joy! I will meet those I
love, Muhammad and his party!quot;
20. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
When the Makkans drove Zayd ibn ad-Dathima out
of the Haram to kill him, Abu Sufyan ibn Harb said
to him, quot;I ask you by Allah, Zayd, don't you wish
that Muhammad were with us now to take your
place so that we could cut off his head, and you
were with your family?quot; Zayd said, quot;By Allah, I
would not wish Muhammad to be now in a place
where even a thorn could hurt him if that was the
condition for my being with my family!“
Abu Sufyan remarked, “I have not seen any people
who love anyone the way the Companions of
Muhammad love Muhammad.”
21. Salaf’s love for the Prophet and their yearning for him
Ibn 'Umar stood over Ibn az-Zubayr after he had
been killed and asked for forgiveness for him and
said, quot;By Allah, according to what I know you were
someone who fasted and prayed and loved Allah
and His Messenger.quot;
23. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
Know that someone who loves a person prefers
them and prefers what they like. Otherwise, he is a
pretender, insincere in his love.
Someone who has true love of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, will manifest
the following signs.
24. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
1) The first sign is that he will emulate him, apply
his Sunna, follow his words and deeds, obey his
commands and avoid his prohibitions and take on
his adab in ease and hardship, joy and despair. Allah
testifies to that, “Say: if you love Allah, then follow
me and Allah will love you.” (Al-Quran - 3:31)
25. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
2) He will prefer what the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, has laid down as
law and encouraged, over his own passions and
appetites. Allah said, “Those who were already
settled in the abode, and in belief, before they
came, love those who have emigrated to them
and do not find in their breasts any need for
what they have been given and prefer them to
themselves even if they themselves are in want.”
(Al-Quran - 59:9)
26. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
3) His anger against people will only be for the
sake of the pleasure of Allah. Anas ibn Malik said,
quot;The Messenger of Allah said to me, 'My son, if
you can be without any grudge in your heart
against anyone in the morning and evening, be
like that.' Then he added, 'My son, that is part of
my Sunna. Whoever gives life to my sunna has
loved me and whoever loves me is with me in the
Garden.'quot; (at-Tirmidhi)
27. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
4) Another of the signs of love for the Prophet is
to mention him often. Whoever loves something
mentions it a lot.
5) Another is great yearning to meet him. Every
lover yearns for their beloved.
28. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
6) One of its signs is that as well as mentioning
him often, someone who loves him will exalt and
respect him when he mentions him and display
humility and abasement when he hears his name.
Ishaq at-Tujibi said, quot;Whenever the Companions of
the Prophet heard his name after he died, they
were humble, their skins trembled and they wept.
It was the same with many of the Followers. Some
of them act like that out of love and yearning for
him, others out of respect and esteem.quot;
29. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
7) Another sign is love for those who love the
Prophet and the people of his house and his
Companions, both of the Muhajirun and Ansar, for
his sake. Such a person will also be hostile to those
who hate them and curse them. Whoever loves
anyone, loves those he loves.
The Prophet said about al-Hasan and al-Husayn, quot;O
Allah, I love them, so love them.quot; In al-Hasan's
variant, quot;O Allah, I love him, so love the one who
loves him.quot;
30. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
He said, quot;Allah! Allah! My Companions! Do not
make them targets after me! Whoever loves them
loves them by loving me. Whoever hates them
hates them by hating me. Whoever does
something hurtful to them does something hurtful
to me. Whoever does something hurtful to me
does something hurtful to Allah. Whoever does
something hurtful to Allah is about to be seized.quot;
(at-Tirmidhi)
He said about Fatima, quot;She is a part of me.
Whoever hates her hates me.quot; (al-Bukhari)
31. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
Anas once saw the Prophet reaching for the
pumpkin in the plate. He said, quot;I have loved
pumpkin from that day.quot;
Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas and Ibn
Ja'far came to Salma [a servant of the Prophet]
and asked her to prepare some food for them
which the Messenger of Allah liked.
Ibn 'Umar began to wear tanned sandals dyed
yellow when he saw the Prophet wearing ones like
that.
32. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
8) Another sign is hatred for anyone who hates
Allah and His Messenger, having enmity towards all
who have enmity towards him, avoidance of all
those who oppose his Sunna and introduce
innovations into his Deen, and finding every matter
contrary to his Shari'a burdensome.
Allah says, “You will not find any people who
believe in Allah and the Last Day who having love
for anyone who opposes Allah and His Messenger.”
(Al-Quran - 58:22)
33. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
His Companions killed their loved ones and fought
their fathers and sons to gain the pleasure of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
'Abdullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy said to him, quot;If
you had wanted, I would have brought you his
head (his father's).quot;
34. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
9) Another sign of it is love for the Qur'an which
the Prophet brought, by which he guided and was
guided, and whose character he took on so that
'A'isha said, quot;His character was the Qur'an.quot; Part of
love for the Qur'an is its recitation and acting by it
and understanding it, and loving his sunna and
keeping within its limits.
35. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
Sahl ibn 'Abdullah said, quot;The sign of the love of
Allah is love of the Qur'an. The sign of love of the
Qur'an is love of the Prophet. The sign of love of
the Prophet is love of the Sunna. The sign of love
of the Sunna is love of the Next World. The sign of
love of the Next World is hatred for this world. The
sign of hatred for this world is that you do not
store up any of it except for provision and what
you need to arrive safely in the Next World.quot;
36. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
10) One of the signs of love for the Prophet is
having compassion for his community, giving them
good counsel, striving for their best interests and
removing what is harmful from them just as the
Prophet was “compassionate, merciful to the
believers.” (Al-Quran - 9:128)
37. The true signs of the love of the Prophet
11) One of the signs of perfect love is that the
one who aspires to it does without in this world
and prefers poverty.
A man said to the Prophet, quot;O Messenger of Allah,
I love you.quot; He said, “Take care what you say!”
He said, quot;By Allah, I love youquot; three times. He said,
“If you love me, then prepare for poverty quickly.”
There is a similar hadith from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri.
39. On the meaning and reality of love for the Prophet
People disagree about what constitutes love of
Allah and the Prophet. They have many things to
say about it, but in reality, they are referring to
different states.
Sufyan said, quot;Love consists of following the
Messenger of Allah.quot; It was as if he were thinking
of the words of Allah, “Say: if you love Allah, then
follow me.” (Al-Quran - 3:31)
One of the scholars said, quot;Love of the Messenger is
to believe in his victory, protect his Sunna, obey it
and to fear being in opposition to him.”
40. On the meaning and reality of love for the Prophet
One of the scholars said, quot;Love is constant
remembrance of the beloved.quot;
Another said, quot;It is preferring the beloved.quot;
Another said, quot;Love is yearning for the beloved.quot;
One of the scholars said, quot;Love is the heart
following the will of its master, loving what he loves
and hating what he hates.“
Another said, quot;Love is the heart's inclination to be
in harmony with the beloved.quot;
41. On the meaning and reality of love for the Prophet
So it should be clear to you that love of the
Prophet must be an obligation in the Shari'a
because of the sound traditions we have related
and the nature of his overflowing goodness and
universal beauty we have just mentioned.
42. On the meaning and reality of love for the Prophet
If a man can love someone who is generous to him
just once or twice in this world, as is well known to
be the case, or someone who saves him from
destruction or harm even once, when that damage
and harm are only of a temporary nature, then the
one who gives him undying bliss and protects him
from the eternal punishment of Hellfire should be
loved more.
43. On the meaning and reality of love for the Prophet
'Ali, describing the Prophet, said, quot;Whoever saw
him suddenly was in awe of him. Whoever mixed
with him loved him.quot; We mentioned that one of the
Companions could not turn his eyes away because
of his love for him.
45. The obligation of faithfulness to the Prophet
Allah says, “Nothing is held against the weak and
sick nor against those who find nothing to spend,
provided they are true to Allah and His
Messenger – there is no way open against the
good-doers. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.” (Al-Quran - 9:92)
The commentators say, quot;If they are true in
sincere conduct towards Allah and His
Messengers, they are sincere Muslims secretly
and openly.”
46. The obligation of faithfulness to the Prophet
Tamim ad-Dari said that the Messenger of Allah
said, “The deen is nasiha (good counsel/
faithfulness). The deen is nasiha. The deen is
nasiha.”
They asked, quot;To whom, Messenger of Allah?quot;
He said, “To Allah and His Book and His Messenger
and the Imams of the Muslims and the common
people.”
