| SURAH AL HADID MUBARAK | for everyone |
Thus, the Quran is a reminder for all of mankind until the last hour. It contains information that man discovers in due time. Because this Quran was revealed from Allah's knowledge and every single verse in it was revealed with Allah's knowledge.
Professor Armstrong works at NASA, otherwise known as the national aeronautics and space administration, where he is a well-known scientist there. We met with him and asked a number of questions about Quranic verses dealing with the expertise in astronomy.
We asked him about iron and how it was formed. He explained how all the elements in the earth were formed. He stated that the scientists have come only recently to discover the relevant facts about that formation process. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental iron. In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system, in other words, the entire energy of the earth or the moon or the planet mars or any other planet is not sufficient to form one new atom of iron, even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that:
Iron is an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein.
And we sent down iron, in which is great might, as well as many benefits for mankind (Quran 57:25).
This is no less than a reminder to (all) the worlds. and you shall certainly know the truth of it (all) after a while. (Quran 38:87-88).
| ALLAH RECOUNTS HIS BLESSINGS TO MAN,,, | for everyone |
In the Holy Quran, when Allah recounts His blessings to man, he mentions the cow.
Verily in cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of what is inside their bodies, coming from between the intestines and the blood, a milk pure and pleasant for those who drink it. (an-Nahl, 16:66)
The food that is eaten by the cow is digested in its intestines. From here the blood carries the nourishment to the rest of the body, including the mammary glands where the milk is produced.
Modern science tells us that the processes responsible for the production of milk begin when the contents of the intestine are brought together with the blood. And indeed, this is how the Holy Quran has explained it too.
| DEALING FAIRLY | for everyone |
Dealing Fairly (Al-Ma'ida 5:9)
O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. (verse 5:9)

You should have hope in God alone and should fear nothing but your sins.

| BRIGHT THINGS IN LIFE OF IMAM ALI (A..S.) | for everyone |
Here we mention three virtues of the Conquerer of Khayber:
One day Mu’awiyah criticized Sa’d Waqqas for not cursing Ali. He said in reply: ‘Whenever I am reminded of three virtues of Ali, I earnestly desire that I might have possessed at least one of them:
1. On the day when the Prophet appointed him as his representative in Madina and himself departed for the Battle of Tabuk, he said to Ali: You enjoy the same relationship with me which Harun enjoyed with Musa except that no prophet will come after me.
2. On the Day of Khayber the Prophet said: Tomorrow I will give the standard to a person who is loved by Allah and the Prophet. All the great officers and commanders of Islam were anxious to acquire this honour. On the following day, however, the Prophet called Ali and gave him the standard and Allah granted us a great victory which was solely due to the selfsacrifice of Ali.
3. When it was decided that the Prophet should engage in Mubahilah (cursing) with the leaders of Najran, he held the hands of Ali, Fatimah, Hassan, and Hussiyn, and said:
‘O Allah! These are the members of my family.’(1)

| HADEES | for everyone |
Imam Javad (A.S): whoever had three things, will never regret: 1. refraining from haste 2. Consulting 3.and depending upon God when decision - making (Mesnad Al_Imam Al_Javad, P.247)
Imam Askari (A.S): The most pious among the people is the one to stop ( action ) in doubts , the most worshiping is the one to perform the obligations , the most austere is the one to leave the unlawful , and the most striving is the one to leave sins.
(Tohaf Al_Okool , P.519)
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Whoever wishes to see Adam in his knowledge, Noah in his piety, Abraham in his forbearance, Moses in his strength, and Jesus in his worship and devotion should look at Ali ibn Abi Talib."
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said the following about Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)
He is the first one to believe in Islam; He is the most knowledgeable; He is the most correct one in his DEEN; He is the most certain; He is the most patient; He is the most forgiving and generous; He is the bravest in heart; He is the IMAM and the successor after me.

| HOME MADE CURES FOR YEAST INFECTION | for everyone |
One of the most uncomfortable and unwanted sufferings one has to go through has to be contracting yeast infections. No matter where they are, yeast infections are, at the very least, uncomfortable. Given their nature, admitting you have one is notably unflattering to your image of personal hygiene as yeast infections thrive in moist, dark areas of the body. Read on and you will see the different yeast infection cures available today.
With modern medicine, you can resort to yeast infection medication to rid these pesky growths. If the outbursts are not too severe, using homemade remedies to cure yeast infections is fairly common and safe. The former is often used in more serious and expansive infections to prevent them from recurring permanently. Home remedies are great if you are too embarrassed to own up to having some kind of yeast infection in your system and work just as well, sometimes even better as they usually do not leave any scars.
Of all the home remedies, one in particular stands out – garlic. In any form – digested or rubbed on – garlic is proven to be one of the most effective, if not the most effective, yeast infection cures. Yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in any one area and if there is one thing that they hate, it is garlic! This is good news for you because garlic is both cheap and easily accessible. On top of that, it can be applied, swallowed in pill form or drunk. This means no one has to know you are trying to cure yeast infections unless you decide to tell them!
Here are some ways garlic has been used as a home remedy:
- As garlic tabs or pills, garlic works well for those hard to reach places like those in the genitals. Those suffering from vaginal yeast infections or thrush, especially, will find this particular type of cure very convenient and painless. The best part is that you can feel its effects almost instantly – what a relief!
- If you are not averse to strong smells, press or smash a clove of garlic and dunk into water and drink up. This is an indirect method of ridding yeast infections from within your system. If you are the kind of have frequent recurrence, this is the best way you can reduce the frequency – much like taking vitamin supplements.
- Less common is a garlic rub-on. Try on less sensitive areas like below the breasts and abdomen. Some people with more sensitive skin may find these a little warm to the touch so it is best to use these homemade creams on "open" spots.
Yogurt works just as well as garlic, albeit a little yuckier. For more "inconvenient" areas like the vagina and anus, soak a tampon into yogurt and insert into the affected body part. Otherwise, rub yogurt onto your skin. A point to note here is that the yogurt used must be unsweetened and unflavored. Otherwise, you would only aggravate the situation with an even more conducive environment for the yeast infection.
Another popular way to cure yeast infections is with vinegar. Much like garlic, vinegar is another big no-no for the irritating fungi. The only downside to using this above garlic is that it is a lot stronger which means there will be some kind of burning sensation. Depending on your pain threshold, some people may describe it as a mild burning sensation while others will swear it is even worse than the yeast infection itself.
Water also works wonders for clearing yeast infection. It helps flush out toxins in the system and dilutes body chemicals to restore them to their appropriate levels naturally. This means flushing out excess sugars within your body which the yeast feeds on, thus reducing their food source and containing their growth. The old folks who used to tell us to drink six to eight glasses of water a day definitely knew what they were talking about!
For more severe outbreaks, yeast infection medication may have to be resorted to. Stronger versions will have to be prescribed while milder ones can usually be bought over the shelf. Like all medicines, unless you know for sure it is a yeast infection and not any other skin ailment, it still is better to consult a doctor beforehand so you can rule out common allergies.
| COLD SEASON IS AN ALLERGY SEASON | for everyone |
It's time again for FLU and cold season, but did you know cold weather is also an exceptionally poor time for people who suffer from allergies? Pollen isn't at fault this time of year, but instead dry air inside your home can wreak havoc with your allergies.
Gas furnaces, wood pellet stoves and fireplaces can reduce the humidity of the air in our houses. Really low humidity allows dust and pet dander to float around in the air. This low humidity also causes our lips and skin to dry out and sometimes
crack. Lotions or lip balm can benefit your lips and skin, but they don't do anything to remove the dander and dust that are still floating in the air all throughout your home .
It's popular for men and women to make use of a humidifier in their homes to counter the drying effects of their furnace or fireplace . A humidifier can assist to keep your home more comfortable and protect skin, lips and also furniture from excessive dryness . Regrettably, the humidifier all alone doesn't do much to alleviate the issues of common colds , winter flu and your allergies .What you really need is an air purifier or purifier humidifier combination . Air purifiers capture or even obliterate the tiniest allergens in the air like dust and dust mites, smoke and pet dander, even bacteria. To overcome allergies and illness, you'll want a great air purifier that eliminates the tiniest debris from the atmosphere .
Keep in mind, to combat flu and colds, you still will need to wash your hands often and it is most effective to use a bacterial soap, but you can significantly lessen the threat and fight allergy problems with a great air humidifier purifier.

| CARING FOR YOUR HIP JOINTS PAIN | for everyone |
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, surrounded by large muscles. The ball, the round head of the femur (thigh bone), is set deeply in the acetabulum, a deep socket or cavity in the pelvis. The joint is very stable. The majority of long-term hip problems are associated with aging, disease (such as arthritis) and fractures. But pain in the hip and thigh also can be caused by injury to muscles, tendons or bursas, usually from a fall, a blow or overuse.
Hip pain in athletes involves a wide differential diagnosis. Adolescents and young adults are at particular risk for various apophyseal and epiphyseal injuries due to lack of ossification of these cartilaginous growth plates. Older athletes are more likely to present with tendinitis in these areas because their growth plates have closed. Several bursae in the hip area are prone to inflammation. The trochanteric bursa is the most commonly injured, and the lesion is easily identified by palpation of the area.
Quadricep, hamstring, and Iliotibial band injuries can be quite painful. However, there are several ways to help stablize muscular pulls. Compression braces can help provide stabilization to the torn muscle fibers and improve the ability to walk or help protect from futher injury. Ice packs and cold wraps help reduce pain and inflammation, and pain relief gels can provide temporary relief of painful symptoms. Many athletes use magnetic products to stimulate blood flow and reduce pain.
One of the biggest causes of hip and back pain is the psoas muscle. These problems include but are not limited to lower back pain, sciatica, disc problems, knee pain, pelvic tilting, digestive problems, infertility, and menstruation pain. You could also experience scoliosis, a difference in the length of your legs, kyphosis, sacroiliac pain and accentuated lumbar lordosis.
Bursitis in the hip usually involves the hip socket and causes tenderness, pain, and swelling on the outer part of the hip where some of the large buttock muscles attach. Bursitis in the hip can cause pain that spreads to the buttocks and down as far as the knee. Bursitis in the hip can be caused by activities such as speed-walking, aerobic dance, or carrying a baby on your hip. It also can be caused by conditions that alter the normal tilt of the pelvis, such as having one leg shorter than the other.
As the pain improves, gradually begin to exercise. It is best to work with a physical therapist to learn proper exercises and how to advance your activity. Swimming may be a good option because it stretches the muscles and builds good muscle tone without straining your hip joint. However, swimming does not build bone mass. When you are ready (a physical therapist can help determine that), slowly and carefully resume walking or another activity against the resistance of gravity.
A hip fracture can change the quality of your life significantly. Fewer than 50% of those with a hip fracture return to their former level of activity. In addition, while recovering from a hip fracture, several possible complications can be life-threatening. These include pneumonia and a blood clot in the leg, which can dislodge and travel to cause a clot in the lungs. Both are due to immobility following a hip fracture and hip surgery.
A groin pull can be caused by a quick change in direction while you’re moving—often occurring in sports such as hockey, tennis, and basketball. A groin pull can result in pain, tenderness, and stiffness deep in the groin, making activity difficult.

| Health Benefits of Watermelons | for everyone |
Health Benefits of Watermelons
Health Benefit of Watermelons #1 Lycopene
Lycopene is an antioxidant found in most red colored fruits, with the exception of a few things such as strawberries. Scientific studies have shown that Lycopene reduces the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease in people. People who eat a diet high in lycopene are much less likely to suffer a heart attack then men who don't.
Health Benefit of Watermelons #2 Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is an important attribute to have in a healthy diet because it promotes chemicals in the brain that help people to cope with anxiety and panic. These are two psychological disorders that are on the rise in America today.
Health Benefit of Watermelons #3 Vitamin C
If you thought oranges were the only fruit that could provide you with Vitamin C, think again. Vitamin C is important to not only being healthy, but remaining attractive all your life. Vitamin C boosts the immune system so that you get sick less often and it also slows down aging and medical conditions such as cataract.
Health Benefit of Watermelons #4 Vitamin A
Vitamin A works much like Vitamin C, in that it helps boost immunity, but it also help your body fight off infection. It also prevents blindness.
As you can see, eating watermelon is almost tantamount to taking a multivitamin every morning, but with a much better taste. Watermelons are seasonal, which means that they are not available all year long. It means that when they are in season you should make sure and take advantage.
When you go to the store to purchase one you want to try and find one that is ripe and ready to eat. The best way to do this is to knock on the outside of the rind. If you hear a hollow sound then melon is ready to eat, but if you hear solid thud put it back. The fruit is over ripe and you won't be getting very good flavor from it. Buy you water melon and eat it within the first few days of getting it home. Everything about it is healthy, and in addition, it won't leave you feeling over stuffed if you eat too much.
So in a few weeks, the weather gets warmer and summer is approaching. Don't forget about watermelons. Eat up and get the extra boost they will add to your healthy lifestyle.

He said: It is the exaltation of the majesty of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, and it is His purity from what all polytheists say. Then whenever the servant says it (Subhan'Allah), every angel sends down blessings on him.
| IS ALLAH A THING?...... | for everyone |
- My father - Allah have mercy on him - said: `Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us, from his father, from `Abbas b. Umro al-Fuqaimi, from Hashim b. Hakam, from Abi `Abdillah (al Sadiq) [a] said to an atheist when he asked him [a] regarding Allah: What is He?
He [a] answered: He is a thing as opposed to all things. Refer to my saying "thing" to affirm the meaning (thereof). Indeed He is a thing having a real thingness, but indeed He does not have a body nor a form.2 - My father - Allah have mercy on him - said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid narrated to us, from Muhammad b. `Isa, from the person who mentioned it to him, from all the way up to Abi Ja`far (al-Baqir) [a] who was asked:
Is it permissible to say: Allah is a thing?
He [a] replied: Yes. (Doing so) removes two limitations from Him: the limit of being denied (existence), and the limit of being likened (to creation).
