Think – About It

Think – About It

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can’t speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn’t clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around

Thank the Almighty for whatever you have rather than complaining !!

Thinking About a Job Change?

Thinking About a Job Change?
Read This Before You Take the Plunge
You’re tempted. Who wouldn’t be? A prospective employer is wooing you with a higher hourly wage or annual salary, or maybe even a sign-on bonus. You daydream about making a down payment on that new car, taking a much-needed vacation or putting a dent in your credit card debt.But proceed with caution. Money shouldn’t be the only factor in an employment decision, say human resources consultants. Although you’d be taking home a bigger paycheck, you could be miserable in the new working environment. And accepting a job that offers more cash but less generous employee benefits – like health and retirement plans – could be a mistake. In fact, benefits typically represent about 25 to 30 percent of an employee’s salary, experts say.

“It’s always good to do your homework,” says John Barbadian, a senior consultant at William M. Mercer Inc., a nationwide human resources consulting firm. “Always ask a lot of questions and make a comparison checklist.”

Before you take the plunge, here are a few of the many issues experts say you should examine first.

Work Environment

1. Have you walked around the workplace? How do people interact? What is the professional atmosphere? Will you fit in?
2. Will you be able to communicate openly with various levels of management? Is the environment collaborative?
3. Are you going to be challenged at the new workplace? Will you be able to advance? Will you have the opportunity to earn more if you attain a higher degree or certification?
4. Have you researched the company or hospital? Has the facility recently merged with another healthcare system, or is it considering a merger? Such an action could affect your job security.

Benefits

1. Does the employer offer a range of health plans? How does the coverage level and access to healthcare company? Will you have to pay more in premiums, co-payments or deductibles for your family?
2. How does the retirement plan stack up? How much does the employer contribute or match? Is the plan portable?
3. Does the employer offer other benefits that may be important to you? Some examples of additional benefits are: dental insurance, a vision plan, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, continuing-education reimbursement, on-site continuing education, disability insurance, maternity leave, flexible working hours, malpractice insurance, a uniform allowance, on-site child care reimbursement for child care, and job sharing.

Time Off

1. How many vacation, sick and personal days will you receive annually? How many paid holidays? How quickly will you accrue more vacation time?
2. Are all your days lumped together into one pool of paid time off? Is that system appealing to you?
3. What is the employer’s policy on leaves for the birth or adoption of a child or the illness of a close family member? Does the employer offer more than the 12 weeks of unpaid leave mandated under the Family and Medical Leave Act? Can you take additional time off if the need arises?

Your Lifestyle

1. Will you be working your preferred shift? If not, what are the chances you will be able to do so in the future?
2. Will your new commute be more time-consuming or expensive than your old one?
3. How will the new job fit into your lifestyle? Will the job interfere with more important commitments or priorities in your life?
4. Does the new job put you closer to achieving your long-term goals?

20 Powerful Tips For Career Growth

If you want to advance in your career……follow this……  

1. Do more than is expected of you. Prove that you’re capable of handing more responsibility. Volunteer for special assignments.  

2. Take initiative and do what needs to be done, before being asked.  

3. Learn the skills you’ll need to advance. Take advantage of on-the-job training, but don’t rely exclusively on that. Consider taking (and paying for) skill-enhancing courses on your own.  

4. Be loyal to your boss, your team, and your company. (Yes, you can be loyal without being a “brown-noser.”)  

5. Be patient and don’t expect to be promoted without demonstrating your abilities over time.  

6. View the big picture and understand your company’s mission. Find ways to help them accomplish it.  

7. Save money for your company by identifying ways to boost revenues, reduce expenses, or streamline processes.  

8. Offer solutions to the problems you must take to your boss.  

9. Show respect to everyone — superiors, peers, subordinates, and especially customers.  

10. Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” If you don’t know something, say so; don’t try to fake it. Find the answers you need.  

11. Take responsibility for your actions. If you’re at fault, admit it and take the blame. If you’re wrong, apologize.  

12. Never gossip. Gossip can hurt the careers of two people: the person being talked about, and the person doing the talking.  

13. Never say “That’s not my job.” Don’t think you are above anything. Pitch in and set a good example, especially if the job is one that nobody else wants to do. Your willingness to do so will be noticed and appreciated!  

14. Share the credit. People who share credit with others make a much better impression than those who take all the credit themselves.  

15. Ask for help when you need it . Don’t let a difficult task get out of hand. When you need help, ask for it — before things get worse.  

16. Keep your dislike to yourself. If you don’t like someone, don’t let it show. Never burn bridges or offends others as you move ahead in your career.  

17. Don’t hold grudges. Life isn’t always fair. If you were passed over for promotion, didn’t get the project you wanted, etc., let it go. Be gracious and diplomatic, focus on the future and move on. Harbouring grudges won’t advance your career.  

18. Be humble. When you’re right, don’t gloat about it. Never say “I told you so!”  

19. Make others feel important. Compliment others, emphasize their strengths and contributions, and help them whenever you can. They will enthusiastically help you in return.  

20. Join associations and professional organizations (like this forum) related to your career. In addition to helping you learn more about your industry, this can provide invaluable networking opportunities. (Which might come in handy if your employer isn’t promoting?)  Hope you found this interesting. Let me know your comments…have a great day!!!

Why ???

 

Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith   But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!   Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God   But when Muslimah does the same she oppressed   When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household?   But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, “she needs to be liberated”!   Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom?   But when Muslimah wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!   When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potential.   But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is hopeless!   When a Christian or a Jew kills someone religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!   When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him.   But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother’s arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated — He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!   When there is a trouble we accept any solution? If the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it.   When someone drives a perfect car in a bad way no one blames the car.   But when any Muslim makes a mistake or treats people in a bad manner – people say “Islam is the reason”!   Without looking to the tradition of Islam, people believe what the newspapers say.   But question what the Quran says!

 

The paradox of our time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We’ve added years to life not life to years.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorces, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quicker trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember; say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember; to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember; to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember; to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Modern Science finds God

Modern Science finds God(Perhaps the most important and astounding scientific discovery in human history.) 

There was a time when science seemed to be the enemy of religious belief – that time is no more! Modern physics and cosmology (science of the origin and development of the universe) now provide firm objective evidence of the existence of God, confirm the primary attributes of God, and show how God created the physical existence out of ‘nothingness’. This knowledge comes from a critical analysis of the ‘Big Bang’ theory, Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, and work being done in quantum physics. The concepts behind this esoteric scientific knowledge can now be presented in such a way as to be understood by any person with a modern education. 

1. We now know according to the most widely accepted theories of cosmology that the physical universe we see today was created out of nothingness (meaning – no time, no space, and no matter).
2. We also know that the beginning of the creation of the universe took place by light coming into existence at a singularity (a point with no dimension).
3. We know that the matter of the physical universe was brought into being by photons (little packages of light energy) which, when colliding with each other, formed the virtually infinite number of protons, neutrons and electrons, which in various combinations make up everything in our physical world.
4. In essence we can now accurately say that all the matter of the physical universe, ourselves included, is actually light slowed down.
5. We know that the space which contains our physical universe is expanding. This is a concept so alien to human thought that until Albert Einstein developed his General Theory of Relativity early in the 20^th century it had never occurred to any of the world’s great minds, but was stated in the Qur’an over 1400 years ago when Allah told us, “I am expanding the universe with my power”. Even Einstein was so astounded by his discovery that he falsified his data to show a universe that was not expanding, because he well understood that an expanding universe implies there was somewhere in the distant past a moment of creation for the universe.
6. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (which he actually called his Absolutism Theorem because he realized he had found the one thing in a relative universe that was absolute) is about the special qualities of light.
7. The Special Theory of Relativity allows us our first objective glimpse into that which exists beyond the material world.
8. We could have found anything once we got our first glimpse beyond the material world, but what we did find is indeed remarkable. We find Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity showing us that the non-material existence beyond the physical world consists only of absolutes, and some of those absolutes are remarkably similar to what everyone’s religion has considered to be among the primary attributes of God.
9. Example One: As the speed of light (300,000km per second) is approached then time slows, and at the speed of light time does not pass. This means for a photon of light which travels at exactly the speed of light, time does not pass. Therefore the photon is outside of time, and ETERNAL.
10.  Example Two: Since no time passes for a photon of light, and that photon can be observed at different places in space, therefore that photon of light is simultaneously in those different places (and many other places) at the same time, and therefore OMNIPRESENT.
11.  Example Three: Since every bit of matter in the physical universe is created by the energy of light, and that light energy constantly sustains and directs the activity of every bit of matter in the physical existence, then there is no power other than the power of light, light energy is all the power that exists, and therefore OMNIPOTENT.
12.  Example Four: Since all knowledge that exists, that ever existed, or will exist, is stored by light energy and transmitted through light energy then there is no knowledge beyond that intrinsic to light, and therefore OMNISCIENT.
13.  Furthermore, light does not actually exist within the physical existence although we can somehow perceive it. As you approach the speed of light one of the three dimensions (length, height, or width), the dimension in line with the direction of motion, becomes progressively less, and at the speed of light that dimension becomes zero. To determine volume we multiply height times width times length, but if any one of those three dimensions is zero then the volume is zero, and that thing therefore does not exist in the material universe. Light occupies no volume of space and therefore has no existence in the physical universe.
14.  And, while everything in the physical universe has some mass greater than zero, which is a necessary characteristic for existence in the material world, light has no mass at all. As you approach the speed of light mass increases, at the speed of light mass is infinite. Regardless of how tiny the amount of mass you begin with, that mass rises to infinity at the speed of light. Since photons travel at the speed of light and do not reach infinite mass it means that they had zero mass to begin with, and light therefore does not actually exist in the material world.
15.  In the physical existence everything is relative, the absolute existence or non-existence of any quality is not and can not be expressed, everything exists between those two extremes of the continuum from absolute expression to absolute non-expression.  We find, though, that beyond the material existence all qualities exist either in an infinite state or have no existence at all, there is nothing in between.

 

The great significance of the above findings is that they destroy any possible notion of the physical universe existing as a fixed number of material particles which are moved about by a fixed set of physical laws. It is exactly this incorrect understanding of the physical existence which forms the basis of the scientific philosophy of materialism. It is the philosophy of materialism, particularly secular materialism, which has allowed the belief in God to be so powerfully challenged by unbelievers in these past few hundred years, more or less from the time of Sir Isaac Newton. 

It is no longer intellectually possible nor logically reasonable, in light of the finding of modern physics and cosmology, to hold the view of the atheists (that there is no God). The only logically reasonable, and intellectually honest, conclusion that can be drawn from the findings of modern science is that God does exist, that the attributes of God are absolute, and that God did create the physical universe (including human life). We are presently at the beginning of the transition point from a secular materialistic world-view to a spiritual, God-centered world-view. 

 

NOTE: These are only some of the simplified conclusions of a major work in progress, but we felt they are of such great significance that we had an obligation to offer them to the ummah (the human society of Allah’s Creation). The scientific facts behind these interpretations represent a virtual consensus by a number of the world’s leading physicists, including several Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicists. The interpretations themselves are at the cutting-edge of Islamic theological thought, but have so far been very warmly received by Muslim scholars across the world.

I LOVE MY VEIL

I LOVE MY VEIL.

 I love my veil, i love my veil,

it is my saviour, from the fire of hell,

 

my veil seems an obstacle,

to all the other modern gilrs,

they dont carry the insight,

or understand the veil`s pride,

but i love my veil i love my veil

it is my saviour from the fire of hell.

 

it protects me from the eyes of lust,

it shields me from the heart that has rust,
