Don't Be Shy To Say Your Profession Rather Be Proud2Say I Am The TEACHER

And If At all Any Body Ask What's The Profession Then Again Be Proud and Explain Who Is A Teacher??? 

 

 

From A School Principal's speech at a graduation...

 

He said "Doctor wants his child to become a doctor...
Engineer wants his child to become engineer...
Businessman wants his ward to become CEO...
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE"... Very sad but that's the truth!

 

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"

 

To stress his point he said to another guest;
"You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"

 

Teacher Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied,
"You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began...)

 

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

 

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner.

 

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't
make them sit for 5 min. without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

 

You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)

 

I make kids wonder.

 

I make them question.

 

I make them apologize and mean it.

 

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

 

I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn't everything.

 

I make them read, read, read.

 

I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.

 

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

 

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

 

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life

 

( Bonnie paused one last time and then continued...)

 

Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make?

 

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES,EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO's ,AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS...

 

What do you make Mr. CEO?

 

His jaw dropped; he went silent.

 

THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW. Even all personal teachers like mother, father, brother, sister, coach and spiritual leader/teacher.

Everyone of my Ummah will enter Jannah except those who refuse

English Translation of Al-Quran

[10].Surah Yunus [Jonah]

Ayat 32. Such is Allah, your Lord in truth. So after the truth, what else can there be, save error? How then are you turned away?

Ayat 33. Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah) that they will not believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) as the Messenger of Allah).

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah   [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Everyone of my Ummah will enter Jannah except those who refuse". He was asked: "Who will refuse?'' He (PBUH) said, "Whoever obeys me, shall enter Jannah, and whosoever disobeys me, refuses to (enter Jannah)".

[Al-Bukhari Hadith # 7280].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 33. "those who rebel (disobey Allah) that they will not believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) as the Messenger of Allah)." The word Ummah here stands for the community which accepted the invitation of the Prophet   [SAWW] (PBUH), that is to say, the people who on his call embraced Islam. Out of this community who follow him faithfully will go to Jannah.

Get rid of that beer belly!

For The Sake Of Humanity:- 

Don't drink and be merry: Do not consume large quantities of alcohol as they are high in calories

A major cause of Type II diabetes, Lisa Antao explores the dark underbelly of this unflattering look 

You have seen others sporting it and probably might have giggled at the sight of it whether its your dad, uncle, boss, a politician, some police guys or a pedestrian on the street. A Beer or a pot belly is not only an unflattering sight but also an unhealthy asset not just restricted to celebrities but also the masses. These days, even young people in their 20s have become a victim to pot belly, which is certainly a bad sign. Read on to find out how to win the battle against this bulge in particular.

What is it? 
A round, pot-shaped belly is often called a Beer Belly. This is more prevalent amongst males compared to females. Clinical nutritionist Dr Nupur Krishnan says, "Many people think that beer belly is caused by drinking beer. But it is a myth. It is caused by excessive accumulation of fat in abdominal area. It consists of subcutaneous fat, which is found underneath the skin. Two major types of fat depositions currently recognised are excess subcutaneous truncal - abdominal fat (android) and excess gluteofemoral fat (gynoid). The android is also known as apple-shaped obesity or beer belly."

"Beer Belly is also called pot belly when the abdominal circumference in male is more than 90 cms and female is 80 cms as per the World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria. Even though it is called a beer belly, it is commonly seen in non-alcoholic Indians as well. If a person's Body Mass Index (BMI) is more than 30 and he has a beer belly, then the beer belly could be responsible for many chronic life-threatening diseases," says Bariatic surgeon Dr Shashank Shah.

How is it caused? 
Studies indicate that beer belly is highly co-related with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. But the most important and risky cause is the metabolic syndrome which is a chronic condition of all the above disorders in the same person. Occasionally drinking beer will not cause beer belly. However, if you drink beer very often, you consume more calories and more fluid is retained in stomach until filtered and excreted by kidney through urine. This causes stomach to bulge for prolonged time and to loose its elasticity, mentions Dr Krishnan.

She cites reasons like:
- Digestive disorders prevent food to be digested and excreted through feces.
- Consuming more calories than required because excess calories gets converted to fat and accumulates in ones belly.
- Sedentary life style reduces the basal metabolic rate and leads to people spending less energy than they consume.

Dr Shah says that speaking from an Indian context, pot belly is caused due to the Indian high-carbohydrate intake and a diet which includes fatty curries and masalas in our preparations. Also, the fast food intake with lesser activity and a stressful busy life. This is the main reason for makingIndia the global diabetic hub. More than 90 per cent of our Indian Type II diabetic patients fall in this category as per the WHO definition of abdominal obesity.

What are the ill effects? 
A Beer or pot belly is a major cause of Type II diabetes. The other health risks include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases. These diseases are the most expensive health hazards; socially and economically which India and Asia are facing, opines Dr Shah.

Precautions to undertake 
A combination of proper diet and exercise is necessary to get rid of excess abdominal fat. Celebrity fitness trainer Baqqar Nasser says, "The average Indian man weighs between 70 to 100 kgs and woman weighs between 60 to 80 kgs. Their daily calorie consumption ranges from 1500 to 2000 calories. When ones' intake of calorie is this much, they must ensure to burn out calories too. In order to get rid of beer belly, one should not get bound to a particular exercise. Doing stomach crunches alone is not sufficient, one needs to incorporate activities like swimming, cycling or running to show results. around 30 to 40 minutes of pure abdominal exercises is a must along with a combination of a cardio work out, to get good-looking abs."

He mentions the following exercises to trim Beer belly:
Exercise 1: 
Lie down on your back. Try to lift your upper body to face the sky. Stay stationary for some time and return back to the original position. Gradually increase repetitions.

Exercise 2: 
Hang yourself from a height. Lift up your legs, if this seems very difficult, try lifting up the knees. Begin with three repetitions and gradually increase them.

Exercise 3: 
Lie on the floor on your chest. Lift up your body in a plank position, whilst resting your elbows and toes on the floor. Stay in this position for a while and return to original position. Gradually increase repetitions.
Dr Krishnan lists the following dietary precautions to get rid of the unhealthy pot belly:

- Avoid excessive eating.
- Avoid high calorie and high fat foods especially animal meat.
- Avoid foods made of refined products made up of maida and consume high-fibre foods.
- Avoid aerated drinks and sweets
- Eat small but frequent meals to help proper digestion.
- Leave a gap of two hours between your dinner and sleep time.
- Do not combine eating with other activities like reading or watching television.
- If you have digestive disorders or gastric problem consult a nutritionist to enhance your digestive system.

Get to know what is your calorie requirement according to your lifestyle and heath condition.

Saudi airline served DONKEY MEAT

Monday, 13 June 2011

Riyadh, June 13: Saudi Arabian Airlines could have served its passengers donkey meat, ignoring warnings by a local government food control body that imported meat from Tunisia could be diseased or is donkey meat. A Saudi Airlines executive made the accusations in a television interview this week, prompting many Saudis to write to local newspapers calling for the prosecution of those responsible for such an act. Abdullah Al-Bubou, a former senior inspector at the supply division in the Airlines, said Saudi Arabia’s General Food and Drugs Authority had repeatedly warned the airlines to stop import of foodstuffs from Tunisia and serving them on its aircraft following reports on the spread of diseases among cattle in that Arab country. “There were also reports about widespread sale of donkey and horse meat in Tunisia….but the Saudi Arabian Airlines did not heed that warning,” Bubou said in the interview on Rotana Khaleeji television. “This has prompted the Authority to stop all the meat and other food items imported by the airlines from Tunisia…but after nearly one month, these food items appeared on board Saudi aircraft, including meat without certificates of origin… the stuff could be diseased or donkey meat… the problem is that they (Saudi Airlines) started to opt for foodstuffs that are about to expire as they are cheaper,” he said, quoted by Saudi Arabic language newspapers. Bubou, a Saudi, blamed newly-appointed non-Saudi officials in the airline for such acts, which he said served their interests. “As a result, the quality of food served aboard Saudi Arabian aircraft has largely declined over the past few months and has become almost unfit for human consumption… but as you see, they still insist on serving these diseased meals,” he said, adding that he has documents supporting his accusations. “I have evidence to all what I say not only about the supply division in Saudi Arabia but in Cairo…one day, a consignment of donkey meat arrived in Cairo for the zoo there and at the same time, another shipment for the supply division arrived….tests showed this meat is similar to donkey meat yet it was later served for the passengers aboard Saudi Arabian aircraft.” In letters published by the Saudi Sabq newspaper on Monday, many Saudis called for prosecuting those responsible for such actions while others were sarcastic in their comments. “I think all those responsible in the Airlines should be prosecuted and all passengers who doubt they had donkey meat should be compensated,” Abu Abdullah said in his letter. A sarcastic reader, Dhafer Al Qahtani, called it a “braying disaster,” while another citizen said: “The question is whether it was donkey or zebra meat.” “I would rather travel from Riyadh to Jeddah aboard a donkey than eat a donkey aboard a Saudi aircraft,” another reader commented.

How to Convert to Islam and Become a Muslim - The Religion of Islam

How to Convert to Islam and Become a Muslim - The Religion of Islam

The word “Muslim” means one who submits to the will of God, regardless of their race, nationality or ethnic background. Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process that requires no pre-requisites. One may convert alone in privacy, or he/she may do so in the presence of others.

If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion of God, then, all one needs to do is pronounce the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The “Shahada” is the first and most important of the five pillars of Islam.

With the pronunciation of this testimony, or “Shahada”, with sincere belief and conviction, one enters the fold of Islam.

Upon entering the fold of Islam purely for the Pleasure of God, all of one’s previous sins are forgiven, and one starts a new life of piety and righteousness. The Prophet said to a person who had placed the condition upon the Prophet in accepting Islam that God would forgive his sins:

“Do you not know that accepting Islam destroys all sins which come before it?” (Saheeh Muslim)

When one accepts Islam, they in essence repent from the ways and beliefs of their previous life. One need not be overburdened by sins committed before their acceptance. The person’s record is clean, and it is as if he was just born from his mother’s womb. One should try as much as possible to keep his records clean and strive to do as many good deeds as possible.

The Holy Quran and Hadeeth (prophetic sayings) both stress the importance of following Islam. God states:

“...The only religion in the sight of God is Islam...” (Quran 3:19)

In another verse of the Holy Quran, God states:

“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter, he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the Hellfire).” (Quran 3:85)

In another saying, Muhammad, the Prophet of God, said:

“Whoever testifies that there in none worthy of being worshipped but God, Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Prophet, and that Jesus is the Slave of God, His Prophet, and His word[1] which He bestowed in Mary and a spirit created from Him; and that Paradise (Heaven) is true, and that the Hellfire is true, God will eventually admit him into Paradise, according to his deeds.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

The Prophet of God, may the blessing and mercy of God be upon him, also reported:

“Indeed God has forbidden to reside eternally in Hell the person who says: “I testify that none has the right to worship except Allah (God),’ seeking thereby the Face of God.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)

The Declaration of the Testimony (Shahada)

To convert to Islam and become a Muslim a person needs to pronounce the below testimony with conviction and understanding its meaning:

I testify “La ilah illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”

The translation of which is:

“I testify that there is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and that Muhammad is a Messenger (Prophet) of God.”

When someone pronounces the testimony with conviction, then he/she has become a Muslim.  It can be done alone, but it is much better to be done with an adviser through the “Live Help” at top, so we may help you in pronouncing it right and to provide you with important resources for new Muslims.

The first part of the testimony consists of the most important truth that God revealed to mankind: that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God. God states in the Holy Quran:

“We did not send the Messenger before you without revealing to him: ‘none has the right to be worshipped except I, therefore worship Me.’” (Quran 21:25)

This conveys that all forms of worship, whether it be praying, fasting, invoking, seeking refuge in, and offering an animal as sacrifice, must be directed to God and to God alone. Directing any form of worship to other than God (whether it be an angel, a messenger, Jesus, Muhammad, a saint, an idol, the sun, the moon, a tree) is seen as a contradiction to the fundamental message of Islam, and it is an unforgivable sin unless it is repented from before one dies. All forms of worship must be directed to God only.

Worship means the performance of deeds and sayings that please God, things which He commanded or encouraged to be performed, either by direct textual proof or by analogy. Thus, worship is not restricted to the implementation of the five pillars of Islam, but also includes every aspect of life. Providing food for one’s family, and saying something pleasant to cheer a person up are also considered acts of worship, if such is done with the intention of pleasing God. This means that, to be accepted, all acts of worship must be carried out sincerely for the Sake of God alone.

The second part of the testimony means that Prophet Muhammad is the servant and chosen messenger of God. This implies that one obeys and follows the commands of the Prophet. One must believe in what he has said, practice his teachings and avoid what he has forbidden. One must therefore worship God only according to his teaching alone, for all the teachings of the Prophet were in fact revelations and inspirations conveyed to him by God.

One must try to mold their lives and character and emulate the Prophet, as he was a living example for humans to follow. God says:

“And indeed you are upon a high standard of moral character.” (Quran 68:4)

God also said:

“And in deed you have a good and upright example in the Messenger of God, for those who hope in the meeting of God and the Hereafter, and mentions God much.” (Quran 33:21)

He was sent in order to practically implement the Quran, in his saying, deeds, legislation as well as all other facets of life. Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when asked about the character of the Prophet, replied:

“His character was that of the Quran.” (As-Suyooti)

To truly adhere to the second part of the Shahada is to follow his example in all walks of life. God says:

“Say (O Muhammad to mankind): ‘If you (really) love God, then follow me.’” (Quran 3:31)

It also means that Muhammad is the Final Prophet and Messenger of God, and that no (true) Prophet can come after him.

“Muhammad is not the father of any man among you but he is the Messenger of God and the last (end) of the Prophets and God is Ever All-Aware of everything.” (Quran 33:40)

All who claim to be prophets or receive revelation after Muhammad are imposters, and to acknowledge them would be tantamount to disbelief.

We welcome you to Islam, congratulate you for your decision, and will try to help you in any way we can.
