The book makes clear that when the early Muslims overpowered major empires and took over vast areas, their motives were not to subjugate people or to enrich themselves.
The universe arose and its creation from the things that occupied man throughout the ages, especially non-Muslims. Because Islam has clarified and explained all the matters that need clarification.
Of all the promises made in the world, the best promise is the one made with the perfect spiritual guide where you offer your spiritual self and he blesses you with the closeness and vision of Allah. This book is an English translation of “Bayat ki ahmiyat aur Zaroorat.” Al-bayah refers to the trade between a slave and his Lord wherein one pledges to give Allah his ownself and everything he owns in exchange for His proximity though everything belongs to Allah in reality.
Among the essentials of Islam, al-bayah has the utmost importance. In this book importance of pledge of allegiance is revealed according to the teachings of Quran and Hadith along with quotes of Sufi Saints in a very beautiful and comprehensive manner. Along with pledge of allegiance of women, renewal of pledge of allegiance and different types of pledge of allegiance are also described very precisely in this book. It also highlights the fact that pledge of allegiance is the only Sunna of Prophet Mohammad sall’Allahu alayhi wa’alihi wasallam that is the Sunna of Allah as well. May this book be a source of guidance for all the seekers of Truth. Amen
Introduction
In the Name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, blessing and peace be upon our sir Mohammed, the chosen prophet, his family, his companions and all his lovers.
After answering the questions of our non-Muslim brothers who want to know more about Islam, they were published in our book: Questions of Non-Muslims. As people who asked those questions were non-Muslims, they had some suspicions about Islam as a religion, the personality of prophet Mohammed and things happened during his lifetime, the book of Islam which is Qur'an and some legislations ordered by Islam. All this needed rational evidences to persuade people who asked such questions.
There were also some questions about the existence of God and they sought evidences and proofs for the existence of God.
We answered those questions and others in a modern way depending on logic, rational and scientific evidences.
Then we had lots of other questions on our site from non-Muslims in Arabic and other languages too.
We translated those questions, put aside those questions we answered before in our book: Questions of Non-Muslims, then we answered these questions following the same previous method depending on logic, rational and scientific evidences. We hope people who asked them find them persuading, leading and guiding to the right path.
As we see the people who asked these questions are not obstinate and not willing to offend Islam, they only want to be sure of things in their minds and dispel suspicions, so we called it:
Dialogues of modern man
I beg God to make people who read it knowledgeable after ignorance and guided after misguidance.
I beg God to make certainty stronger in the hearts of Muslims and dispel suspicions and illusions from the hearts of hesitant people.
I also beg Him to make it a light guiding the hearts of confused and those who are thirsty for truthful knowledge among all people.
May the blessing and peace of God be upon our sir Mohammed, his family and his companions.

Cross-Build Injection attacks are a completely new class of attacks that take place at build time. In this presentation (which was presented at JavaOne 2012) I show what the problem is and what can be done about. As always, security doesn't come for free: you'll have to work to get it right!

Working with micro-services is arguably the best part of OSGi development. However, everyone agrees that tracking service dependencies with the bare-bones OSGi API is not ideal. So, you pick one of the available dependency managers: either Declarative Services, Felix Dependency manager, Blueprint or iPojo.
But how do you pick the right one? Easy! After this shoot-out you’ll know all about the performance, usability and other aspects of the existing dependency managers. We show the strengths and weaknesses of the implementations side-by-side. How usable is the API? What about performance, does it scale beyond trivial amounts of services? Does it matter which OSGi framework you run the dependency manager in?
Make up your mind with the facts presented in this session.

The status of education in the Arab world is currently echoing an alarming siren. Though there have been several notable achievements and many reforms in public policy, they mainly fall under the “engineering” of education and fail to develop the educational tool for freedom and development. For the Arab world to be able to catch up with the knowledge revolution and succeed in creating a strong knowledge society, it needs to develop a holistic creative multi-player solution to transcend the eminent gaps and take quantum development leaps.
In this paper I will depict the educational scene in the Arab world, highlighting the most dangerous current challenges, spot the light on the achievements that have taken place so far, and accordingly propose an effective solution that integrates all related pillars and the missing links considering the successful model of the European Union’s Creativity and Innovation strategy.
The Nuclear Media Weapon: The Case of Creating Mr. and mrs. islamophobiaBayan Waleed Shadaideh
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been challenged by a new weapon of nuclear nature; manipulative media, which has been continuously invading the security and freedom of almost all humans beings. Harold Printer has focused on using this media as a political strategy for the interest of the West in his Nobel Piece Prize acceptance speach in 2005. This article tackles this pivotal issue and focuses on the creation of two figures Mr. and Mrs. Islamophobia, and the impacts and consequences both sides of such manipulation suffer from.
One of the most prominent outcomes of the financial crises is the emerging new class of poverty, the people who represented the “wellbeing dream of development” are now poor, and they are mainly Young, Educated and Unemployed!
Though it is without any doubt their right to have their basic human rights attained, they remain framed in a new category of poverty that makes them as they themselves have described it to be “Invisible”.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

فاطمة بيان سرمد العدل, The "Secret Treasure" Letter
1.
2. The Sacred Treasure Letter
The Sacred Treasure Letter from Fatimat Bayan Sarmad El Adl Bint Rouh Bin Sama’ El Nour
is a secret letter that comes to you from a person you ordinarily meet and tells you that you
have earned to have the letter because you are a seeker of the truth.
It has a Divine Secret that actually reveals to you the answer to whatever question you ask.
So, whenever you open the letter the text is changed to reveal your sought for question.
You have to ask the question however from the level of the heart and address it to the
Creator of The Universe God, The One and Only God ALLAH.
I have gotten this letter from a person that I don’t even remember the features of, as well as
the actual conversation I had with. When I asked the letter that question however, it told
me that God sends us His gifts without a reason other than our asking to be closer to Him,
so when he knows we love him He shows us his Generous, Kind and Loving Face.
Today, I will share the answer the letter will give me with all of those who asked the
question.
With Love,
Bayan
3. Introduction
This is what could be called a “Channeled Imagination”, both of the concepts of the letter,
its content, as well as the character that writes the letter.
The name of the woman who writes this letter transcending time and place, is of extreme
significance, which in itself is the embodiment of the “Treasure”.
Fatimat meaning the highest winner that seals pertaining to Fatimat the daughter of
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Bayan is the full clarity of the naming of all things, which was
God’s endowed gift to humanity “He created man and taught him al bayan” Quran 55:2-3.
Sarmad is the divine abstract sound, Al Adl is justice and balance of all things. So she is the
highest sealer (after finishing the knowledge) of the science of discernment and language
that comes from the divine abstract sound of all justice.
Bint Rouh, daughter of “soul”, her father’s name, Bin Sama’ El Nour, son of the Hearer or
Listener of Divine Light, who in turn is her grandfather.
The Reason I have come up with this is because it is the ultimate route to islam I want to
defend in this assignment. Therefore, being the mystical narrator is in complete alignment.
4. In The Name of God Most Gracious Most Merciful
Al Salat wa Al Salam ala Kahtam Al Mursalin Mohammad. I was 12 years old when Prophet
Muhammad died. It was a very black day of which the sadness was infinitely agonizing. He
used to always touch my hair when he sees me playing, and praise my voice when I sing.
His light was always felt by me in indescribable ways, and that is why I always bowed when
I saw him.
Our life was full of peace in the Medina, and Oness was manifest in all walks of life. Our
brothers and sisters from Ahl Al Kitab, the Christians and the Jews were our neighbors and
family friends. My father was very happy and always pleased to pray at night, I used to
wake up to listen his voice reciting the Quran, and the tears would pour down my chin from
the intense Divine Vibrations of the sound. He wanted to revive his father’s business to
make lamps for it was destroyed by the tribes for his being a Christian. My mother “Rahma”
was always baking sweet things and makes me give them to my play mates.
That day however I knew that the biggest lamp of love has died, it was a very dark pregnant
pause in our house, unable to phathom what happened. But our lamp was lit.
My Dad was very upset when he came home and he told my mother that the body of the
Ummah is now to be broken, when she asked him why, he said that the Sahabah held a
meeting without Al Bin Abi Taleb’s presence, and agreed to appoint Abi Bakr as the Caliph
to succeed the Prophet (PBUH). Though Abi Bakr was very renowned as a very close friend
of the prophet and one of the first ones who believed in Mohammed (PBUH), Ali was the
closest for he was his son in law (Husband of Fatima closest daughter of the Prophet) his
cousin, also among the first who believed (he was ten years old) and the protector of the
Prophet.
There was a lot at stake, the One person that united all of these peoples and tribes, religions
was gone. The Meccan tribes were never able to reciprocate the compassion that the
Prophet granted them, and now they might attack at any minute. The economy as a result
would be affected, for security and the bond of Oness that prevailed to boost is gone.
And, most importantly, the people who had parts of them that were so attached to their
egos wanted the power, the exposure, and the fame.
So, the bigger body of the Ummah was divided. The impurities inherent from the past came
to life again, and there were two groups, those who followed Abi Bakr who believed that
the Prophet didn’t assign any one before his death and therefore they came up with the
5. system to govern and Lead the Ummah, they called themselves the Ahl Al Sunna wa al
jamaa.
And the other group was the grass root of Shii who believed Ali Bin Abi Taleb was the one
who should have been the Leader, for he was assigned by the Prophet (PBUH) in Ghadir al
Khumm (632) in which he announced, “He whose master is I then Ali is his master” (Man
kuntu Mawlah Fa Aliyun Mawlah). Fatima Ali’s wife, Mother of Al Hassan and Al Hussain
died only one year after her father died.
Ali Bin Abi Taleb retired from his public life at that time, and attended to teaching his
disciples the esoteric sciences and hidden meanings of the Quran, digging wells (later to be
known as Abar Ali) and cultivated public gardens.
Everyone wondered how could Ali be content with the status quo, for he was well known to
be the strongest and most courageous of fighters, the shrewd leader of soldiers, as well as
an unrivalled superior of eloquence. But, the sound of wisdom he acquired from the
Prophet was to care about the well being of the Ummah and he didn’t want to be the reason
for the division.
Abu Bakr, who succeeded in silencing the erupting threatening revolts, was followed by
Umar Ibn Al Khattab only two years afterwards 634 -644 and in his age there was a lot of
gloriours expansion and development, then Uthman Ibn Affan of the Umayyad clan took
over . I was 24 by that time, and it was then that my father “Rouh” died.
Uthman was assassinated by the mutineers in Egypt in 656 and that is when Ali took over.
In this period the Sunna system consolidate and strengthened, authority became
segmented in two spheres, religious based on the ijma (consensus) of the Ulama (religious
scholars) and the political represented in the Caliph. They developed scientific legal
structures following the Quran and the Sunna, and the authenticity of the hadith to
formulate the Sharia of the Islamic Law. Then of course the branches kept on becoming
thinner on faith and thicker with politics.
Ali ‘s authority as the Caliph was challenged by Uthman’s cousin Muawiya (the usual
behavior of the Umayyads) and because Ali decided to deal with the situation using the
wise compassion instead of the power of the sword another division took place, Muawiyah
kept on building his power, and a group of Ali’s followers the Kharijites split with Ali
because he didn’t stand up to Muawiyah. Ali was killed by them in 661.
This didn’t stop the Sunnah system to grow with the leadership of the Umayyads.
And the Shii who believed in Ali as the Imam continued to grow with the leader with the Divine
Light to guide. He is the real ruler of the community and the inheritor of the esoteric teachings of
6. the Prophet (PBUH) the Muhammadan Light “Al Nur Al Muhammadi”, and who performs the
function of Wilaya; the Sustainer, which is the source of all Prophetic Knowledge and is
identified with the Muhammdanan Reality “Al Haqiqah Al Muhammadiyyah” which is the
Logos. The Imam can be apparent or hidden.
I thank God the Almighty for having died before the killing of the Hussain in Karbala, for that
was one day before my soul became another part of you and all humanity.
Other branches of Shiites manifested such as the Ismaili, they believe that philosophy
contained in the batin of religion leads to spiritual rebirth (wiladat i ruhani) through which
man is transformed and saved. The large cycle of aeons of 360,000 years within which
there are seven layers of prophecy, each cycle is commenced with a prophet. The seventh
is the Imam of Resurrection and he would reveal the meaning of all revelations finally
leading to the Great Resurrection (qiyamat al qiyama)
Sufism as well ; the Mystic Path of Love , offering an esoteric path as a way of purification
through the “tariqa”. The Shaikh of the tariqa is a “murabit” who joined himself with God
and derives authority from personal experience of spiritual enlightenment as well as
spiritual lineage “silsilah” going back to Prophet Muhammad, with the ultimate goal of Al
Fanaa the annihilation of the ego into the One Real Ego of GOD”
“He Loves them and they love Him” Quran 5:54
My dearest reader your seeking heart is the key to Oness. All of this happened in your body,
it was lit by The Divine Light of Muhammad containing the chain of all the Lights of the
Prophets and Messengers of God. Why should you forget their message after they complete
it? God Sent Them to give us the Guidance so we use it and follow it even without them
being manifest anymore.
The Road back home is through elevating our consciousness and from it see the reflection
in the worldly universe. And even here though that Lit torch was with Ali he maintained the
light so that it becomes a savior rather than fire, for he knew that the light will continue
through every beat of every heart that seeks the truth. Belief is from within, and with the
gift of sound we know that He will answer those who ask.
Emulate the Prophet’s meditation and compassion, his quest for justice inside Himself and
