The Caliph Umar overheard a poor girl refusing to adulterate milk as her mother suggested, saying it would go against the Caliph's orders. The next day, the Caliph had someone purchase milk from the girl, which was unadulterated. Impressed by her integrity, the Caliph rewarded the girl by having her marry his son, making her his daughter-in-law. From this union came Umar bin Abdul Aziz, who also became Caliph and was known for his noble character and austerity, inheriting qualities from his maternal ancestors.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

8. The girl said, "You adulterated milk, when you were not a Muslim. Now that we are Muslims, we cannot adulterate milk.”
9. The mother said that Islam did not stand in the way of adulteration of milk.
10. The daughter said, "Have you forgotten the Caliph's order? He wants that the milk should not be adulterated."
11. The mother said, "But the Caliph has forgotten us. We are so poor, what else should we do but adulterate milk in order win bread?"
12. The daughter said "Such a bread would not be lawful, and as a Muslim I would not do anything which is against the orders of the Caliph and whereby other Muslims are deceived."
13. The mother said, "But there is neither the Caliph nor any of his officers here to see what we do.
14. Daughter you are still a child. Go to bed now and tomorrow I will myself mix the milk with water for you."
15. The girl refused to fall in with the plan of her mother. She said, "Caliph may or may not be here, but his order must be obeyed. My conscience is my Caliph.
16. You may escape the notice of the Caliph and his officers, but how can we escape the notice of Allah and our own conscience."
17. Thereupon the mother remained quiet. The lamp was extinguished and the mother and the daughter went to sleep.
18. The next day, Caliph Umar sent a man to purchase milk from the girl.
19. The milk was unadulterated. The girl kept her resolve.
20. Caliph Umar turned to his companion and said, "The girl has kept her resolve in spite of the exhortation of her mother. She deserves a reward. What reward should I give her?”
21. “ She should be paid some money," said Ibn Abbas.
22. Caliph Umar said, "Such a girl would become a great mother. Her integrity is not to be weighed with few coins; it is to be measured in the scale of national values.
23. I shall offer her the highest award in my gift, and which shall also be in the highest interest of the nation."
25. The mother trembled as she stood before the mighty ruler. But the girl faced the Caliph boldly and with great equanimity.
26. She was beautiful, and there was an impressive dignity about her. Then before the gathering, Caliph Umar related how he had overheard the mother and the daughter…
27. … and how in spite of the exhortations of the mother the daughter had kept her resolve.
28. Someone suggested that the mother should be taken to task. The Caliph said that ordinarily he would have punished the mother, but he had forgiven her for the sake of her daughter.
29. Turning to the girl the great Caliph said, "Islam needs daughters like you and as a Caliph of Islam it devolves on me to reward you by owning you as a daughter."
30. The Caliph called his sons, and addressing them said, "Here is a gem of a girl who would make a great mother. I desire that one of you should take this girl as wife.
31. I know of no better bride than this girl of sterling character. In matters of wedlock, it should be the character and not the stature in life that should count."
32. Abdullah and Abdur Rahman the elder sons of the Caliph were already married.
33. Asim the third son was yet unmarried, and he offered to marry the girl. Thereupon with the consent of the milkmaid and her mother Asim was married to the girl, and milkmaid became the daughter-in-law of the Caliph.
34. From this union was born a daughter Umm Asim, who became in due course the mother of Umar bin Abdul Aziz.
35. Umar bin AbdulAziz was elected as Caliph and served for a short period during 717 - 720.
36. While other Caliphs of the Ummayad dynasty reveled in luxury, Umar bin Abdul Aziz as a Caliph set up standards for austerity and simplicity following in the footsteps of Caliph Umar the second Caliph of Islam.
37. It is said that if ever there was a noble Caliph after the first four Rightly guided Caliphs, such a man was Umar bin Abdul Aziz.
38. And he inherited the noble qualities of the milkmaid who married the Caliph's son, and those of Caliph Umar Farooq who had the eye to discern the nobler qualities of sterling character in a poor girl.
