MYSTERY IN THE HOLY QURAN

Very interesting findings of Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan might grasp your attention:

Dr.Tariq l Swaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an
That mention one thing is equal to another,
i..e. men are equal to women.

Although this makes sense grammatically,
the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Holy Qur'an
is 24 and number of times the word woman appears is also 24,
therefore not only is this phrase correct in

the grammatical sense but also true mathematically,
I..e. 24 = 24.
Upon further analysis of various verses,
he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole
Holy Qur'an where it says one thing is like another.

See below for astonishing result of
the words mentioned number of times in Arabic
Holy Qur'an

Dunia (one name for life)
115.
Aakhirat (one name for the life After this world) 115

Malaika (Angels)
88 .Shayteen (Satan) 88

Life
145 ...... Death 145

Benefit
50 .. Corrupt 50

People
50 ... Messengers 50

Eblees (king of devils) 11 . Seek refuge from Eblees 11

Museebah (calamity)
75 .. Thanks 75


Spending (Sadaqah)
73 .. Satisfaction 73


People who are mislead
17 .. Dead people 17


Muslimeen
41 .. Jihad 41


Gold
8 .. Easy life 8
Magic 60.. Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60

Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 .......

Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth)
32



Mind
49 .. Noor 49

Tongue
25 .. Sermon 25

Desite
8 .. Fear 8


Speaking publicly
18 .. Publicising 18


Hardship
114 ..... Patience 114


Muhammed
4 .. Sharee'ah

Muhammed's teachings 4

Man
24. Woman 24


And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear:

Salat
5, Month 12, Day 365,

Sea
32, Land 13


Sea + land =


32
+ 13= 45

Sea = 32/45*100q.= 71.11111111%
Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889%
Sea + land 100.00%

Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers
71..111% of the earth, while the land covers 28..889%.
Is this a coincidence? Question is that

Who taught Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) all this?
Reply automatically comes in mind that
ALMIGHTY ALLAH taught him.

This as the Holy Qur'an also tells us this.

please pass this on to all your friends
Aayah 87 of Suraa (Chapter) Al-Anbia
Para 17:

LA ILAHA ILA ANTA SUBHANAKA INI KUNTU MINA ZALIMEEN.
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing,
and take this opportunity.
(Literally, it is only 1 minute).

Change

Greetings.

Last few days, my friend asked me, why did i put "change is never good" as my status and i realized that the answer i gave her may not be the correct one. So, i think i will list down all the things that change may affect.

First of all, say you are a very bad person who has done a lot of awful stuff and you want to change. Kind of like Earl, the character in My Name is Earl. Well, he sure did a lot of awful stuff and feels bad about it, but imagine yourself in this character, do you want to change? Does all the stuff he did in order to change is necessary? Honestly, yes, i may have change from my previous self and right now i have a little regret with my changes.

Before i changed, i was a very talkative, annoying little bastard. I don't think too much and for whatever consequences that comes due to my action, i never care. For example, I jumped from the first floor of my school building just to show that i can. i also took my friend's inhaler for asthma and ran to the other side of the building while my asthmatic friend chased after me. You see, he might die and yet i don't care. Simply put, people feels very annoyed when i open my mouth to talk or doing something with my body part.

But now, after i changed, i'm no more a smooth talker, rather quiet person. I think too much about something and end up didn't do anything because i was afraid of the consequences. I never try anything new since i think too much and now i think that i can't do anything anymore. Yes, people don't feel annoyed anymore and they seems to regard me as normal person. It's true that without the changes, i will never be here and my grades will not be as sucks as it actually is but then i asked myself, what's the point of having good grades? Many of us dreams of being rich and that's why they're where they are with ultimate goal; to get good job with good salary.

So if for example i did not change into what i am right now, i will still become some annoying bastard. But hey, i'm a smooth talker, and i enjoy life more than i am right now. I mean, hanging out with friends, talking, and not worrying about jobs, marriage, money or anything seems to be an awesome life. But since i already changed into what i am right now, i better live with it. I'm not gonna try to change my life back but sometimes, it's fun to think about the good'ol days. Anyway, too me, change got its own pro and cons. You just need to keep the con's while acting out the pros. Whatever.

Anyway, that's all from me for today. and i do hope blogging will be a way for me to reach out my feelings towards life. That's all. thank you.

The Sleep Cycle

Hi/salam.

Today i'm going to tell all of you about the sleep cycle. I bet not many of you know about sleep cycle despite doing it's act every time you fall asleep. You spent 30% of your life in order to sleep and i think it's important for you to know the sleep cycle. If not, why do you spend 6-8 hours a day to sleep, right?

Alright. Sleep cycle consists of two parts, first is the non-rapid eye movement or simply NREM stage and next is rapid eye movement or REM stage. The NREM stage is further divided into four sub-stages which we called, stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3. During the early days, scientist believed that there are actually 4 stages, but in modern days, stage 3 and stage 4 is combined. That's how we got only 3 stages. The cycle begins the moment you fall asleep.

STAGE 1

this is the first stage. If someone falls into this stage, they will loose awareness of the surrounding but also felt as he/she actually never falls asleep. This is the stage if you see your friends sleep in class while the lecturer is teaching. The trademark of this stage is the hypnic jerk. People experience the hypnic jerk will tell you that they have the sensation of falling/being shot, anything that cause them to die or hurt very bad. After spending 5 to 15 minutes in this stage, we will now move in stage 2.

STAGE 2

During this stage, the alpha wave is replaced by the theta waves. If you monitor the sleep under the electroencephalogram, you will see "sleep spindles" and "K-complexes" signature. Basically these 2 things act as guardian to you. They will monitor the stimuli that we have while we are sleeping. If, the stimuli is consider dangerous, these two things will send a signal to your brain and you will suddenly wake up. For example, if you usually sleep with the light off, if you are in stage 2 and someone switch the light on, you will immediately wake up because it is categorized as dangerous.

STAGE 3

During this stage, the theta waves is replaced by delta waves, which indicates that the body is ready to enter stage deep sleep stage. Delta waves is a slow wave movement and that is also why this stage is sometimes refer to as slow wave sleep. During this stage, the body will totally become unaware of to what is happening on the surrounding. And if the body is forced to wake up during this stage, you will notice that the person will become very grumpy, mumbles a little bit and then continue with his/her sleep. So beware if you try to wake someone during this stage, you might consider bring some back up. XD

REM Stage.

After about an hour in NREM stage, the body will enter REM stage. During this stage, the delta wave is replaced back by the alpha wave. As I mentioned, alpha wave is the wave that occurs when your brain is active. That is why during this stage, most people will remember their dreams, which scientists believe as a result that occurs because your brain tries to sort all the information that we had during the day. REM stage occurs around 30 minutes for the first sleep cycle and continue to increase in time throughout the whole sleeping process.

The total time taken for one complete cycle to occurs is around one and a half hour. So in 6-8 hours sleep will have around 4 to 5 cycles. The cycle is also affected by the circadian rhythm, our activity during the day, eating habit and some other factor. And the cycles vary from one person and another but the one i mention here is the usual thing that happen. I do hope you manage your sleep well as good and fresh start in the morning helps you to get into the mood. That's all, thanks for reading.

Oxford Young Leadership Course

Yesterday, an event organized by Oxford Center for Leadership took place at Heritage Hotel, Ipoh. And i, who was given the opportunity to come, came in order to see the difference between this course and the other leadership courses that i attended. And below is the comment, honest comment from me about this program.

SPEAKER.

The speaker was awesome, but i think the allocation of time was not enough for some speakers. So in the end the speaker need to squeeze or compress everything that he/she need to say in one single slide which for me is not very good. The presentation was good but if we slip in a little activity and question and answer session, it would be better. The slide content should be minimize because too much words on the slide makes me a little fuzzy, but that maybe because i actually need a spectacles. In scale from 1 to 5, my rating is 4.2.

HALL

If you enter the hall, yes it was beautiful. But the arrangement is not quite right. The chairs were arranged so that it will face the speaker but since the speaker's content was on the slide, so we need to look at the slide as well. If the arrangement somehow include the speaker and the slide, it would have been better. The hall is big but you used like half the overall area. Please maximize the usage of the hall. You pay for the hall and might as well use every square inch of the area. In scale from 1 to 5, my rating is 3.8.

LOGISTIC AND MEDIA

This one got a little bit of problem. You see, suppose the mic doesn't work, immediately change it with another one, don't let the person who use the mic do the testing check. It's inappropriate. Then there is this strange voice coming i don't know from where, but please check because it's a distraction. How you manage the mic whether it's sensitive or not is also important. Some speaker like to hold their mic while some just love standing there. Just look at the situation and adjust the mic properly. I give 2.7 for this particular category.

FOOD AND BEVERAGES.

This is awesome. I'm not gonna talk much as by far this is the most satisfying service that i got when i was here. My rating is 4.9. (Less 0.1 because the tea and the coffee is very hot and you don't provide ice cube or plain water.)

REGISTRATION.

For me, this is also important because for first time comer, they will need you to show and efficient work, so that the standard of this program will rise even more. Some improvement that can be made, first is by using a computerize data to register who's coming and who's not. The person will just come and say his/her name and you will type "yes" or "attend" or something like that. Then you could tell where they should go instead of just scattered in front of the registration counter. Provide categories in the registration so that it would be simpler and easier to manage. This part will only be 3.6 for me.

I think that's the four categories that need comment for this event. As i said, my view may not be the same as yours. So everything is depends on how you view it. But i hope that a change is made so that the event will be more successful in the future.

Is it me?

Hi. Its been a long time since I last updated this blog. Got busy with things and stuff. I tried to post or forward something that i read every now and then but then i figured that that thing is not my genuine idea. So as for my come back, i'm gonna write something that come entirely from me.

Well, everyone knows i'm not a normal friend that you can found everyday. I'm abnormal. I mock almost everything and i give the truth over everything, although most of the time the truth hurts. But i don't care. For me, if your own friend does not being honest with you, then who would?

But then it occurs to me that I talk lesser than the old me, I tend to keep my mouth shut. I'm incapable of throwing any ideas. And the thing that upset me the most is some of my friends whom I always talk or chat with, suddenly doesn't reply me. And i kept thinking, what have i done wrong?
What are the truth that they hide from me? am i some kind of disease that they need to get away from? Well, only they know the answer.

Today, its been about 3 weeks in which they haven't reply any of my messages or buzz. And the truth is, i don't really care although sometimes i feel a bit lonely because i don't have someone to talk with. and i really started to think, if this is how a friend does, then i am better if i'm on my own. Because friends upset you. And i hate being upset.

Just to let you guys know, i'm not the old me anymore. and if the changes make you feel different about me, then i'll change myself to the old me once more. Only those who knows me both before and after i changed know what I am capable of.

That's my story basically after a few weeks without any post. Thanks for reading, friends!!
