			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In  the heart of Al Jamea tus Saifiyah, in Ewan al Barakat, the hearts of Abnaul Jamea were  beating  with a high-pitch  rhythm and cadence. They were enthusiastically reciting  the most recent, Eid al Fitr Qaseeda Mubarakah(1432H)  of Dai al-Fatemi Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS.</p>
<p dir="RTL" align="center"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Taheri;"> انت يا طيب العصر  معتمدي * ادركــــــني مـــــولاي خذ بيدي</span></p>
<p align="center"><em>O&#8217; Imam Tayyib al &#8216;Asr <sup>AS</sup>, thou art my succor and support; be my savior O&#8217; my Moula, and hold my hand!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not that this was the first time they were doing this in history! No, rather, it was being rendered in style and quite a different manner. The hexagonal setting and the central <em>bir</em>, along with other  accoutrements, decoration and <em>tazyeen</em> simply accentuated  the entire ambiance  this morning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This Qaseeda Mubarakah possesses a rare and a distinctive flavour of Fatemi literature that is equaled by few, if any. It is a repository of the wisdom and philosophy of Fatemi <em>adab</em>. Small wonder then, that the readers never  cease to be overwhelmed by every <em>bait</em> of it. The brilliance of this Qaseeda will forever continue to surprise and inspire thousands of its readers. The emotions expressed therein so plainly are too large for words to describe. Throughout the Qaseeda there is a sparkling gleam of Moula&#8217;s TUS deep affection for Mumineen, Moula&#8217;s doctrine of kindness, <em>muwasaat</em>, charity and love for humanity and he requires but few words to express these emotions.  It also exhibits a beautiful approach to life and its meaning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" align="center">The intense thoughts and style  and the compassionate outpouring make us feel we are in his proximity, rather, it is as if we are in his very heart. This is best explained by these abyaat (Verses):</p>
<p dir="RTL" align="center"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Taheri;">و اجمعن بلطفك يا جامع الشـ * مل ما قد تناثر من بدد</span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Taheri;">و امـــلأن بيــوت المحبين مــن * طـارف نافع هــــكذا تلد</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: Taheri;">و مواليــــك اغنيتهم حاكمـــا * انمــــــا الكنز والله للولد</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These profound emotions in poetry are of particular timeliness in contemplation of the difficulties the world is facing today, and much can be gleaned therefrom for human welfare and upliftment and in the understanding of life and its beauty. The Qaseeda has a specific recognizable message to convey, and the simplicity of the style brings the message to the inner consciousness of the reader quickly, clearly and effortlessly. <strong>From the heart it has sprung, and to the heart it shall penetrate</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">May Allah grant our Aqa Moula TUS a long and healthy life and endow his Mansoos, Aali Qadr Moulaya Mufaddal Saifuddin a long life. Ameen</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The air was filled with joy as the days of the 100th Milad Mubaral approached nearer and the heart pounded with joy while we heard that the Milad was to be held in Mumbai. Mumbai, a place where a place to stay was a big question for a family planning to attend the grand celebrations. Fortunately for us a family friend was most generous with his home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The celebrations started with Qasre Aali Nikah Majlis and the next day was the Milad night, then the waaz on Milad day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was such a wonderful occasion and pleasure to be part of the Mawkib al-Burhani. A truely very historic procession on the Marine Drive. We could see the queen&#8217;s necklace lit up with the Saify Hospital sparking like a Jewel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the days past by in preparation of the Mawkib by Mumineen children, the night when the procession was held arrived. The barakaat received by me personally being on the stage where Maula TUS was jalwanuma was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Mohammed on his 8th waras had the sharaf to walk in the Mawkib dressed as a Date. A blessing cherished by all of us for years to come.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nine days after returning from Mumbai, I got a call from ATTALIM that I was Summoned in <a title="1422 Class Haddiyat Sharaf" href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.168318356554643.49063.100001294383517&amp;l=17add2d3ca" target="_blank">Hazrat Aliyah on Yaume Shahadat of Maulatena Fatema</a> AS. The day that lifted soul, my conscious and changed lots in our lives was just five days from my waras as the hijri calender and ten days before my birthday. Everything was just perfect and fit in its place. It was the <a title="1422 Class Haddiyat Sharaf" href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.168318356554643.49063.100001294383517&amp;l=17add2d3ca" target="_blank">Qasr Mubarak of Huzurala TUS</a> and the Barakat of Syedna Noor Mohammed Nooruddin RA was just in place. That <a title="1422 Class Haddiyat Sharaf" href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.168318356554643.49063.100001294383517&amp;l=17add2d3ca" target="_blank">Wednesday</a> would always be remembered an cherished throughout my life and so will it for my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.168318356554643.49063.100001294383517&amp;l=17add2d3ca" target="_blank">classmates</a> as well. Shz Aliqadr Syedi Mufaddal Bs Saifuddin DM gave each one of us the Bushra about the sharaf that Huzurala TUS had bestowed on us on the auspicious occasion of the Milad al-Meavi.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">May Allah Subhanahu bless our beloved Maula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS with a long life in Sehat and Afiyat. Ameen</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Introduction: Allah almighty states in Quran: “Allah brought you forth from your mother’s wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts, might u do <em>shukr”</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Allah has bestowed men with <em>Aql</em> to acquire al Ilm. But he is not able to do that without a teacher or guide who helps him learning. For that Allah has sent his <em>rusul</em> as he states: “We have sent to you a messenger from among you, who recite upon you Our <em>a’ya’t</em> and (give <em>taharat </em>to you , and teaches you the book (Quran) and <em>hikmah</em>, and teaches you which you don’t know”. And he teach him with <em>wahy , </em>and his <em>wasi</em> said that “the al Ilm that Adam A.S was come with is in Mohammad S.A and his Progeny” This <em>kalam</em> of him enlightens that <em>al Ilm</em> came with A<em>dam A.S </em>. Allah has sent them for the purpose of education, and education is life long process, it should have a proper system, by which a student standard raise level by level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The kitab Alim wal Ghulam is a replica of the above system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Education is given equally due importance by the people of the world regardless of their faith and believes there has been developed a number of philosophies and pedagogies over the centuries. This thesis aims to emphasize the literary master piece Alim wal Ghulam as a complete pedagogy when confronts to the above systems.Along with this <em>Kitab al A’alim al Gulam</em> owes it own <em>Sunnah Salehsa</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The following are some different concepts and philosophies about education:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Idealism[1] comes from the great Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato, according to this school ideas are the ultimate reality, there for the aim of education is to seek knowledge rather than creating it. Search for truth and character development of the learners are the main goals of it, Where as the teacher is to serve as a guide. Socrates use “Dialectical Method” a process where ideas are put into battle against each other, with the most significant idea winning the battle to sharpen and purify men’s thoughts. Plato followed the path of his teacher Socrates and defined ideas as the only knowledge of “Archetypes”[2] or the “forms” that leads to the virtue since these include ideas such as beauty, justice or goodness which are true realities. Idealist education involves depth of learning, a holistic approach that involves teaching the whole rather than its parts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Realism:<strong> </strong>According to the Realists school reality “exists independent of the human mind”[3]. The definitive reality is the world of physical objects. The focal point is the objects where truth is objective-“what can be observed”­­<sup>3</sup>­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­and it is independent of ideas. The aim of education to enable the learners to explore the world through inquiry hence scientific method is supported as the way to enlighten. Aristotle emphasized on understanding the ultimate and unchanged form before the object itself. For example, a rose exists whether or not a person is aware of it. A rose can exist in the mind without being physically present, but ultimately, the rose shares properties with all other roses and flowers, although one rose may be red and another peach coloured<sub>­</sub><sup>3</sup>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Existentialism is the philosophy that places emphasis on individual existence, freedom, and choice. Existentialism stresses the individuality of existence, and the problems that arise with said existence. Because there is so much diversity in the philosophy of existentialism, a concrete definition is hard to put down. Certain themes are common to almost all existential writing, which helps mark the writing as such. The term itself suggests one major theme, the stress on concrete, individual existence, and on subjectivity, individual freedom and choice[4].</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pragmatism or progressivism:<strong> </strong>John Dewy is the proponent of <strong>Pragmatism or progressivism</strong>; he seeks inquiry and experiencing as the key to learning. According to Dewy experience is a mean to an end as well as an end in itself[5]. Human experience is the key element to learning, which aims to seek understanding, coordinating environment into whole, teaching through inquiry and promoting personal growth and democracy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">kitab al A’alim al Gulam: Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A deliberates in this speech: “<em>Abu Qasim</em> R.A, the one sent to Yemen for of <em>zuhur</em> organized the system of spreading <em>al Ilm</em> there, and mentioned some principles of it in the <em>kitab al A’alim al Gulam</em>.”[6]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Book <em>al-Alim wal-Gulam </em>(The Master and The Disciple) shows a practical aspect of the theoretical aspect of teacher-student educational relationship and communication. Enlightened by this perspective, the teachers and student can follow the fatemi principles of educational communication. As this starts with the question of how should an Alim be thanked that he must be obeyed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The reflection of this can severally seemed in the book, especially when the <em>A’alim</em> described <em>Gulam</em> the way of spending money in <em>sabil ul Allah</em>, the <em>Gulam</em> immediately present this total possession in front of the <em>A’alim</em> on the other hand <em>A’alim’s</em> compassion can be easily understood by the addressing style of the Alim to Gulam. ‘يابني’ which means my beloved child, and the limit of it can be assumed, that the <em>Gulam</em> called him ‘father’.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This divine method of teaching and seeking <em>Al Ilm</em> (knowledge) helps a learner to apply much of he/she has been taught as it becomes habitual to him/her, this theory is also known as simple non-associative learning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So the aim of this methodology in Fatemi literature is to lead the learner toward the achievement of highest peak of <em>al Ilm</em> and it is impossible unless through proper channel as Allah almighty has created them, from level to level until he reaches his final destiny of being with the ‘insan e mutlaq’[7].</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To conclude- the code of success in educational development is not the “text book” but is the relationship and communication between student and teacher. <em>Hudaat Kiram</em> S.A have set us such criteria which develops the holistic personality of a student not academically but socially and personally and religiously.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">May Allah bless Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin a long and healthy life, till the Day of Judgment. Ameen</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A child born from the womb of its mother is pure and fresh as a blank wrinkle free paper. Scripts in various forms are written on the paper, ranging from art and beautiful sketches to scars that are not worth remembering. These scars may also be in the form of sins and guilt that one may carry throughout the life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just as the human body needs cleansing from dust and dirt to keep itself healthy so does its soul and spirit, the blank paper which gets spills of ink on it in the form of sins. It needs to purify itself from vague and faulty thoughts and feelings. The pain of sinful behavior and practices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The only thing that can purify such unseen filth is to know its own self. For he who knows the self knows his lord, said Rasulallah SA. This is the mot difficult part in the life of any normal human being. Most of the time humans are totally unaware of their own needs, wants, desires and fears.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Syednal Qadi al-Noman, the Chief Justice of the Fatimi Empire during the Imammat of Maulana Imam Moiz (AS) in Qahera, has written a book titled &#8220;Kitab al-Taharat&#8221;, the Book of purity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Syednal Qadil Noman (RA) a person whose purity of heart was a mention of the Imam and his faith in the Aimmat Tahereen AS most profound in nature writes a book titled &#8220;Taharat&#8221; and in its preface describes his intention in writing the book, where he states that after knowing the lord and his apostles and Awliyat the most important of all that should be learned and practiced is &#8220;Salaat&#8221;, Namaaz. One might wonder that the kitaab is titled &#8220;Taharat&#8221; and the preface points to &#8220;Salaat&#8221; and he continues to write the virtues of it and declaring that since the most important thing to start with is Salaat and the keyto it is taharat it should be elaborated further.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The kitaab has the two major pillars of Islam described and elaborated in it by the pen of one of the most proficient writer, author and judge in the Fatemi empire during his time. Both the pillars of Islam are the start point of faith and religion itself. To attain the purity of soul and spirit one must go closer to the lord and that is in sujud. Each farizat prayer is a kaffarat to sins prior to it and therefore before getting any closer to the lord, Allah, one must cleanse himself of all dirt. The body does need cleaning but the various practices and arkan of wuzu, gusl and etiquette of the toilet ensure the purification of the mind and thought as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The two daaim explained in detail and its arkan and practice are indeed &#8220;Taharat&#8221; for the mind, body and soul.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huzurala TUS has with karam and ehsan granted raza to all Mumineen all over the world to learn from this kitaab and embrace it with purity of heart and intention, putting it to practice. May Allah bless him  a long life for many more centuries to come. Ameen</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The subject of paranormal sciences and preliminary topics have fascinated me since the very early days of my childhood and interest in such studies grew with age and maturity of thought. The subject is indeed vast and even sub-categorized further into hundreds  of topics and categories within. Hundreds of theological books have been written and read since the dawn of civilization and men have never really quenched their thirst for the unknown through the ages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While studying theology and the philosophy of Islam one would run into the words of Amirul Mumineen Maulana Ali (AS) a devoted disciple of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW) who was enlightened by wahye from Allah Subhanahu. Indeed, Amirul Mumineen was a master of paralinguistic subjects and the art of subjugating the minds of men, which he displayed in his art of warfare. A warrior he was and a master of swordsmanship. History is packed with the heroic victories of Amirul Mumineen (AS) , that led the armies of Rasulallah (SAW) before the battle was even won.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The art of suggestion was what had won these battles, if we were to study the battles from a view point of this subject, apart from being a &#8220;moayyad minallah&#8221; &#8211; helped by Allah, his aura of victory defeated his opponents. To cite a few examples, in Khandaq when Amirul Mumineen (AS) was sent by Rasulallah (SAW) to battle with Amr ibn Abd Wad, Rasulallah (SAW) exclaimed,<strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> برز الايمان كله الى الكفر كله</span></span></strong>, Ali (AS), faith embodied, has entered into war against Amr (who is a non-believer from head to toe). The suggestive sentence was not only in true praise of Ali (AS) but a blow on all those who has waged war on Madina. Then when Amirul Mumineen (AS) answered Amr, he repeated the fact about himself, and declared that he was willful and a visionary. He insisted that truth will prevail. These paraliminal suggestions weakened Amr and he was dead before the battle had even started.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another example is the battle of Khaybar when Amirul Mumineen (AS) was described by Rasulallah (SAW) as a winner who would fight until he won but never leave the battlefield. While Ali (AS) on the other side pierced a spear in rock right before the fortress where the opponents could see. On seeing this an onlooker from the fortress inquired about the brave warrior and  exclaimed that they had already lost the battle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The words of Rasulallah (SAW) <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">نصرت بالرعب مصيرة شهر</span></strong> describe the psychological imprints that were laid on the minds of the Mushrikeen who came face to face with his victorious army in the battlefield.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This mastery of suggestive imprints is not limited to the battlefield but is clearly seen in all his instructions be it related to personal effects from eating habits to sleep and medication to the social lives of Muslims.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Amirul Mumineen&#8217;s (AS) words have always been the center of philosophical studies in Islam and have explanations to broader subjects since they are derived from the root of Wahye, The Quran. He says:</p>
<p><span dir="rtl" lang="ar"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>دوائك فيك وما تبـصر        ودائك منك وما تشعر</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>وانت الكتاب المبين الذي      بأحرفه يظهر المـضمر</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>اتحسب انك جرم صغير        وفيك انطوى العام الاكبر</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your medication is inside your own self and your disease is from within. You are the clear book that reveals the untold. While you might think that you are just a small particle but within you lies the entire universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such wonderful words to explain the entire theory of people like Deepak Chopra who said in his &#8220;Secret of Enlightenment&#8221; that when one looks at the world it is the universe looking at itself through his eyes. These three stanzas of beautiful poetry explain the theory of quantum communication which suggests that each neuron and proton in the universe is communicating with each other. we might not even know but we are in continuous communication on a quantum level with the entire universe which is in fact within and internal rather that apart from us. The law of attraction is what these three stanzas explain in its depth. Facts and theories of healers using <em>Reiki</em> and what not are based on this theory put forward by Amirul Mumineen (AS). The masters of hypnosis and suggestive neuro linguistic programing, the yogis and gurus of meditation have understood the deeper meaning of these wonderful words of the disciple of Rasulallah (SAW).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I recently came across 2 anecdotes in a book called  اللطائف والظرائف which led reduce my thoughts to words and preserve them. The humorous stories of the past. In one of them it was mentioned that Nabiullah Eisa (AS) passed by a yogi who was engrossed in meditation and prayers under the heat of the sun. Upon his Nabi (AS) inquiry of why he would not carry ibadat under the shade he was told that another passerby Nabi before him had prophesied the age of the yogi as 500 years and he did not want to waste time building a shade for himself. To this Nabiullah Eisa (AS) exclaimed that what would the yogi do if he were to be during the era of Rasulallah whose ummat would live between 50 and 60 years of age. The Yogi was prompt in reply and insisted that he would spend such a small life in one sujud (prostration) itself. Indeed, Eisa (AS) was astonished by such a height of will.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another anecdote is that a group of mischievous learners surrounded their teacher and started to exclaim that the master was ill. Each of them suggested in different words that he should rest, take a leave and visit the doctor. The suggestive words of the boys soon had its toll on the master who started to feel dizzy and weak, until he asked them to take him home. The mischief mongers on their return from his home recited the above stanzas of poetry that illness is from within rather than from an external source.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On reading these words of immense knowledge I recalled my long study of the subject of which I am no master nor a practitioner rather an interested learner and reader.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">An important aspect dealt in contemporary era – is how interactive and positive is the relationship between a Teacher and a Student. Many cognitive theorists argue that learning is a social event, and that both teachers and students will pay the price if teachers neglect to form emotionally warm, supportive relationships with and among their students. (Foorming Positive Student-Teacher Relationships n.d.) According to the observations and surveys – a student spends his/her 5 to 7 hours in school/college around 9 to 10 months annually, and is affected by a group of teachers interacting with them daily. And more troubles outside of school that can easily distract mind of a student. As a result, they need more effective relationship with their teachers. These students feel that caring teachers “legitimize their personal concerns and also help them refocus energy on there goals (Speaking up: Student&#8217;s perspectives on school 1992).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This relationship when groomed – elevates the intellectual abilities of a student, and when neglected by a teacher – freezes the growth of capabilities and skills which resulting a waste of talent and carelessness of a teacher.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Where as a good and healthy relationship is defined through policies and principles of teaching and studying portrayed by Awlia-ullah Kiram S.A and Duat Kiram R.A in their ways of teaching and guidance. The Book <em>Al-Alim wal-Gulam</em> (The Master and The Disciple) is a master piece of projecting a way of learning, studying, educating and teaching with full application of the <em>Ilm</em> (knowledge) practically which needs to be full filled for conceiving the knowledge as a whole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But there haven’t been any discussion about it done till now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So this paper aims to take part in that discussion through a new aspect, that is in a Fatemi perspective in the light of kitab Al-Alim wal Gulam.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Pianta, positive student-teacher relationships are characterized by open communication, as well as emotional and academic support that exist between students and teachers (Pianta 1999). A positive relationship starts with a comforting reception from a teacher to a student from day one. The teacher needs to acknowledge the activities performed by students of any level and encourage them which then bond a positive relationship. The student needs to approach with full respect and honor for the teacher and consult in any queries occurring in academic activities and the communication between the student and the teacher serves as a connection between the two, which provides a better atmosphere for a classroom environment (www.csun.edu n.d.). The environment develops the growth of a student gradually in developing a personality, characteristics and manners. The student adapts the style of communication transmitted by the Teacher.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Ikhwan al Safa </em>elaborates the pattern of the positive teacher-student relationship and communication that the teacher should use mercy, leniency, forgiveness, pity, compassion and kindness with the student, while student must also show respect for him (Iman Ahmed al Mastur n.d.).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A and Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin T.U.S have strictly prohibited beating students on their mistakes, but to build a Father-Son like relationship that the student does not respond rebelliously.  As we know that the knowledge cannot be forced upon, therefore the bondage between the teacher and student plays a vital role in educational development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The emphasize has always been upon the communication and relationship between teacher and student socially, academically and personally.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Book <em>Al-Alim wal-Gulam</em> (The Master and The Disciple) shows a practical aspect of the theoretical aspect of teacher-student communication in the perspective, that how teachers and student can follow these fatemi principles of educational   communication. As the start with the question of how should an <em>Alim</em> be thanked that he must be obeyed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The reflection of this can be seen in the book several times, especially when the <em>Alim</em> described the <em>Gulam</em> (Youthful) the way of spending money in <em>sabil ul Allah</em>, the Gulam immediately presented his total possession to the <em>Alim</em>, on the other hand <em>Alim’s </em>compassion can be easily  understood by the addressing style of the <em>Alim</em> to Gulam. By ‘يابني’ which means my beloved child, and the limit of it can be assumed, that the <em>Gulam</em> called him ‘father’ (Alim wal Gulam n.d.).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To conclude, the code of success in educational development is not the “text book” rather the relationship and communication between the student and the teacher. Hudaat Kiram S.A have set such criteria which develop the holistic personality of a student not academically but socially, personally and religiously.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">May Allah bless Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin with a healthy and prosperous life for many many long years to come.  Ameen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Believing in luck is a completely different thing and relying on luck for getting rich is another. People who dream and commit to their dreams invest very sensibly and have a passion of taking risks for high returns. Taking risk does not mean gambling with your luck rather it means walking with your luck to fulfill the most passionate of dreams by taking calculated risks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People are often lured by the current market situation and most service or job minded people people have a very narrow vision of security, which might mean a secure future without involving risks. These are the people who often get lured into the saving schemes legally started by banks, financial institutions, insurance companies or governments and private entities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many companies float their stock and go public for liquidation of assets while some issue bonds. Even the government does that to assure the low risk involved and the guarantee of the capital. While most bonds are purely issued by luring people to save a bit of their income for the future and by handing out huge prize money, &#8220;<a href="http://nationalbonds.ae/">The National Bonds Corporation</a>&#8221; has gone a step ahead by declaring itself Shariah Compliant and handing out a tiny bit of profit or whatever they might call, on the capital investment. The region where &#8220;National Bonds&#8221; operate is widely dominated by Muslims who prefer Islamic and Shariah Compliant financial products, which are rare to find even if approved by a council. The complexity of being Shariah Compliant is far more then what could be including in this article and should be left to a future one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">National Bonds are issues by a non-governmental institute and are legal. The company apart from issuing profits on the capital investment also has set aside &#8220;if you are lucky&#8221; deals which i call gambling and do not believe in. Luck and hard work (which does include financial investment) go hand in hand. The company gives out more than a <em>million </em>UAE Dirhams in prize money to bond holders every month. Which might accumulate into about a 150 Million probably in a Year. The exact amounts are not stated here as it is irrelevant to what the issue with <em>National Bonds</em> is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More than half a million people have invested in <em>National Bonds </em>due to high expectations of winning these lucrative prizes and advises for saving for a better future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With inflation on the rise a thousand Dirhams saved today might be worth only a few hundreds in a few years. The case is evident all over the world. The purchasing power of any currency in the world has declined and therefore it is just not sensible to save a commodity or whatever money is called for a far off future. As far as <em>National Bonds </em>is concerned the profits that they declare at the end of each year are just figures without meaning. If on a 1000 AED one is to get only 65 AED or as for 2009&#8242;s profit&#8217;s about 38 or something after a whole year does it make sense. The value of the amount has already depreciated in terms of what it could buy after a year and the value would be greater then the accumulated profit. Just to cite an example here, in December 2008,  5 KGs of a certain brand of rice at Carrefour was worth AED 16 while the same thing was priced AED 32 in December 2009. It was a tremendous growth in the pricing of all commodity and consumables, while a hand full stayed the same and yet a minor percentage has decreased.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What would the saving have done, if it was meant for a year? What would the profit that it had generated resulted to? <em>National Bonds </em>are definitely not so beneficial on the whole, even if someone wished to save on it, though I am not against saving totally, but surely the return of profit does not just mean saving only. It has to do with investment where it seems to be a failure. Rather then giving out <em>millions </em>in prize money in a lottery system, it would have been better if it focused more on giving out larger profits to the extent that these huge prize amounts also be distributed in the same way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All said the verdict is that though the entire corporate and its functionality is legal it still is based on a &#8220;life is a gamble&#8221; thinking or maybe it just displays or projects such an idea.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>All the figures and amounts stated above are just vague examples and not accurate calculations. Exact figures can be found on nationabonds.ae These are totally personal views/suggestions and are not endorsed by any entity.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A <a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/world/usa/hillary-clinton-slams-disgraceful-quran-burning-but-pastor-defiant-1.679173">gulfnews article</a> published today brings great concern to me personally being a practicing and faithful Muslim but it further brings about concern that why does not any country in the world have stringent laws against defamation of religious texts. In these many years I have lived in India, I was there during the Babri Masjid riots and though there was a lot of blood shed I haven&#8217;t heard of anyone burning the Quran or the Gita. Houses were burnt down and people were killed and what not inhumane acts of violence were carried out by people, I use this word with caution, as I believe religion leads to salvation and therefore cannot preach violence and hatred. People are hurt by people and not religion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is the misconceptions of people that lead to such violence while the religious texts are always sacred and divine. They preach love and harmony even where there is a mention of war. It has deep meanings which are misunderstood by many or misinterpreted for the mass by many for personal gains. The police if they have to fire and kill in an encounter are not murderers. They are protecting the peaceful lives of people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/world/usa/hillary-clinton-slams-disgraceful-quran-burning-but-pastor-defiant-1.679173">article</a> that led me to write this blog entry after many days has many aspects that need to be looked into and discusses. The first and foremost are the different concerns cited by the US officials regarding the threat to the US troops by the disgraceful and disrespectful act. Further more the concern about the harm that would cause to the administration and the triggering of the insurgents are also worth noting. All concerns are political crap and none of them even point to the gravity of this act. Any religious book is sacred and should be regarded as equal to the constitution of a country where if anyone who commits an act towards it would be regarded as non-patriotic.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">None have raised concerns over the sentiments of American Muslims and another billions of people who have nothing to do with al-Qaida. al-Qaida or its similar types claim to be Muslims but does that make them Muslim and followers of the Quran. A dissident holding an American passport if does an act against the country would not be an American even though he has a passport and claims to be one. The nation would hold him as a foe rather then a child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The political concerns expressed by the US officials are not only worrying but they point to a true fact that there are motives other then peace and harmony in policies governing deployment of  troops and military might. Unjust and unlawful people of the likes of al-Qaida kill the innocent in the name religion and what not while the people who are trying to uphold the law are doing the same in the name of &#8220;War on Terror&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People around the world need to understand that tolerance will bring growth to peace and harmony while hate will bread fear and hate. Acts such as these are from not learned and civilized people but from the ignorant and misinformed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wake up America, the statue of liberty points to the liberty of being human not lawless animals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Ramadan is always a time when we Muslims free ourselves from the worldly hassles of life and simply look into spirituality and religious affairs. Its the time to nourish our souls of with pure worship and faith in the Lord our creator.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The past month has been really busy for me with most of my time spent as the Masjid and a part to and fro to my home from the Masjid. A little rest and some spare time with the family. Ekhwan has been in the hosting business since many years now with a few large companies that have trusted us for the many years we have been in business, dophinheattransfer.com and ezwaretechnologies being the most oldest of them all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Saying that <a title="Web Hosting" href="http://ekhwan.com/">Ekhwan</a> has become a brand in the hosting business that many prefer for the truthful and sincere service and advise we offer to our clients. Our aim has always been to help our clients get the most out of their business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The reason for all the above introduction is a disclaimer that recently came into my notice. A website called ekhwan group dot com. I have separated the words and spelt out the dot so as not to link to it. This website is NOT a part of <a title="Ekhwan Web Hosting Services" href="http://www.ekhwan.com">Ekhwan</a> and we are not associated to this website or company in any way, even if it is legitimate which we are not aware of.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just a second note. I have much to write about and will continue as soon as I am back from the spiritual journey, fully revived.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Mumineen regard it as a part of barakat from the mawaid of Ale Mohammed (SA) which not only enriches and nourishes the body but the mind and soul as well.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Huzurala Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) every year invites Mumineen all over the world for Iftar Niyaz on a day during Shehre Ramadan al-Moazzam. Mumineen regard it as a part of barakat from the mawaid of Ale Mohammed (SA) which not only enriches and nourishes the body but the mind and soul as well.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Like in other niyaz great care is taken but with a difference with the menu also being sent from al-Vazarat. Janab Amil Saheb, being the representative of His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) in the locality takes keen and particular interest not only in the preparation of the Niyaz but also in serving it personally to Mumineen on behalf of Aqa Maula (TUS). Abnaul Jamea and Ayyanul Jamaat also join in serving Mumineen.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">As a tradition the Dawoodi Bohras sit in a round formation when a khidmat guzaar brings in the utensil for washing the hands of each person before eating. A cloth is spread and a Round Dish of stainless steel, known as the thaal, is brought in. It is customary within the Bohra community to eat from the center of the thaal in line with the Hadith of Rasulallah (SA) &#8220;Kasratul Aydee barakatun&#8221;, the more the people are there to share the more bountiful and auspicious it is. Dishes are served on after the other as starters and appetizers. It is also customery for the Dawoodi Bohras to start each dish after praying &#8220;Bismillah&#8221; and &#8220;salawat&#8221;. All those dinning in a thaal complete the meal together and finish each bit in the thaal ensuring not even a single grain is wasted. On finishing everyone says hamd of Allah Subhanahu and washes there hands after the thaal being taken away.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Mumineen today were blessed to have the barakat of iftar niyaaz by Aqa Maula (TUS) and enjoyed every bit of it doing hamd of Allah and praying for our beloved Dai (TUS).</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">May Allah Subhanahu bless him with a healthy long life to serve Him, His deen and for the betterment of Muslimeen and humanity. Ameen</div>
