A Study on Design Optimization of Roller Conveyor Chain Link Plate by Using T...IJSRD
This document summarizes a study on optimizing the design of roller conveyor chain link plates using a topological approach. Roller conveyor chains are widely used in industries like sugar mills, paper mills, and fertilizer plants. However, chain failures are a persistent problem that causes economic losses. The objectives of this study are to analyze stresses on chain links, perform finite element analysis to determine an optimal link plate shape, experimentally test the optimized design, and compare results. A literature review found that while some work has improved chain efficiency and performance, little research has focused on minimizing failures by improving materials processing and heat treatment of link plates.

The Book of Slyam(Fasttng)
* Fasting is the fourth pillar of Islam. Allah
enjoinedit asan obligatory act of worship during the
secondyear of Hijraht
r The meaning of Fasting:It is refraining from
eating, drinking, and similar things from dawn to
sunset with the intendon of fasting.
* Allah has prescribed Fasting to the Muslim
Ummah asHeprescribedit to previousnations.
* Allah, the Exalted,has enjoined fasting on the
Muslims for great wisdom and lofty objectives of
which are:
1) Thefear of Allah, the Exalted,and piety
2) Fastingtrains the Muslim to assume
responsibiliry,andendurance.
3) Fastingteachesman tolerance,self-restraint,
trudrfulness, and beneficence.
4) Fastingalsomakesman sharethe sufferingof
his Muslim brothers,and expendin charity to
the poor and needy,thus the brotherly love is
materialized^rnongall Muslimsthrough which
all enjoy goodlife during this noblemonth.
* Fastingin Ramadhanis a sphereof worship and
obedienceto Allah. In Ramadhan,the gatesof Jannah
are openedand the gatesof Hell are closed,and the
Satansare chained. In it too, there is the Nj tht of
Decree,which is better than a thousandmonths spent
in norship. The Night of Decreehasa greatexcellence,
whoever spendsit occupying himself with acts of
uorship out of belief, Allah would forgive his previous

sins. The Night of Decree falls in the last ten days of
Ramadhan.
r Whoever observes the fast of Ramadhan out of
belief and expects to be rewarded for doing so, in the
'Hereafter,
his past sins would be forgiven.----
* He'who breaks one day of fast without valid
reason, he would never be able to expiate for it even
if he observes fast the rest of his life.
* Observing the fast of Ramadhan becomes
compulsory bY two things.
1- sigtrting the new moon of Ramadhan, or
2- C-ompleting the month of Sha'ban, which
precedes Ramadhan, as 3O daYs.
* Fasdng of Ramadhan is obligatory on every
sane,healthy, adult, Muslim capable of fasting'
i Once- the new moon of Ramadhan has been
sighted in a certain country, observing fast becomes
oflig"toty on the residents of that cotlntry' If all
Musl-imsin the world begin fasting on the same day,
this would be an excellenl demonstration of uniry and
brotherhood :rmong the Muslims.
* It is not permissible to observe fast of the
doubtful day (i'e. the 3oth day of Sha'ban)' I
* The intention for observing obligatory fasting
must be thought of during the night, whereas, the
intention for voluntary fasting may be thought of
during the day.
*"the firit day of Ramadhan may be confirmed
by sighting the new moon by one tnrstlvorthy Muslim'
male or female.
r The 30th day of Sha'ban is considered as such rvhen the
nerv moon of Ramadhan is not sighted due to clouds, haze, or
the like.
6. 6
* He who sights the new moon of Ramadhanby
himse[ but his word wasrejectedby the community,
he must begin fasting.
* It is the Sunnahfor the person who sights the
newmoon to recite the following :
.rLJl-r Cr!t+ _U.t r..li a6ttt) ;r .. ,_rgflr L-j_; cbr .
( >t t:t cDr r+lll 4ts o+t r)-)lt i-)-lt.,
O Allah! Make this new moon appear to us while
we are enjoying security, faith, safety and Islam.
O new moon! My Rubb and yours is Allah. May
this new moon be a new moon of guidance and
goodness.
* IailatulQ4dr, the Night of Decree is to be sought
in the last ten days of Ramadhan during which it is
praiseworthy to recite this du'a:
. ;s, r.u jJt .,._rF.:t{.dlr .
O Allah! You are Oft-Forgiving, and love forgiving,
so forgive my sins.
* If the new moon is sighted during the day, it
becomes obligatory on the people of the country in
which it is sighted to observe fasting the rest of that
day. To make up for that day, the fast of an extra day
after the end of Ramadhan must be observed.
* He who does not observe fasting on account of
old age,or tenninal illness,he should give a meal to a
needy person for each day he misses.
* It is permissible for a sick person who would be
harmed by fasting to break his fast and to observe
fasting a number of days equal to those he missed

3- brduced vomiting, masrurbating., or ejaculating
as a result of fondling with one's wife, or any
discharge after sexual activities during the day

5- lntravenous feeding,2
* He who eats or drinks - while he is not certain it

sunset -in case he is having the iftar- his fasting
remains valid as long as he tried his best to verify the
time of dawn or sunset.3
* The use of .(uhul, enema, treatment of wounds,
incense, or eye-drops do not nullify fasting because
they are not considered as food supplements. It is
better, as a precaution, to use it during the night.

stop menstruation for the purpose of uninterrupted
fasting during Ramadhan, or during the season of the
Hajj it such procedure does not endangerher health.
* He who has an intercourse during the day in

I Cupping, drarving blood from the body by suction cups.

his fast would remain valid.
* If the wife was ignorant of rulings concerning
sexual intercourse while fasting, or forgot she was
fasting, or was forced into it during the day in
Ramadhan, her fast remains valid. If she was forced
into it, she may make up for that day by obsewing
fast of another day after Ramadhan. If she consented,
then it would be incumbent upon her to make up that
day and expiate.
r Expiation is not due on any reason other than
sexual intercourse during the hours of fasting. The
order of expiation is as follows:
1- Freeing a slave,if one is unable to do so, or a
slave is unavailable, then
2- observing fast of two consecutive months; if
he cannot afford doing so, then
3- Feeding sixry needy Persons'
* If a husband sat berween or above the thighs of
his wife and ejaculated without insertion, he should
make up for that day and repent to Allah.
* It is the Sunnah to make up the days missed out
in Ramadhan soon as the month of Ramadhan is over,
and consecutively. If the days to be observed were
deferred until after the elapse of another Ramadhan
without a valid excuse, such a person must observe
the days he missed as well as feed a needy person for
each day he missed.
* He who dies before fulfilling his vow of
obsening fasting, or to perform the Haii, or j'ul<a4 it is

Tbe I'dkaaf I
Ttre i'tikaaf is staying in a masjid during which
one dedicates his time worshipping Allah, the Exalted,
in a specific manner. It applies to men and women
alike. It is valid without observing fasting, and is
recommended at all times. It is more so during the
month of Ramadhan, and most recommended during
the last ten days of it.
* Choosing a masjid in which congregational
prayer is held is a condition for the validiry of i'tikaaf.
It would not be valid if it is observed by a person
who is junub, z or by a woman in menstruation'
* The best masjid for observing i'tikaaf is aI-
Masjid al-Haram,3 for one prayer performed in it
equals in reward, one hundred thousand prayers, then
the masjid of the Prophet, peace be upon him,a in
which one prayer equals one thousand prayers, then
Al-Masjid al-Aqsa,s in which one prayer equals five
hundred prayers.
* He who vows to observe i'tikaaf in one of the
above three masjids, must fulfill his vow, but if he
vows to observe it in other than those three, he does
not have to fulfill his vow in that particular masjid,
rather any masjid would serve the purpose.
