Rights of women in Islam

Human being consists of men and women. Both of them have contributed much to the enlargement of human civilization throughout ages. Previous to the arrival of Islam women were in a very low position that can not be described. They were so treated and neglected like animals. They were regarded as dolls of playing. It was considered that women are created only to serve the men and baby. Islam raised women’s status from chattels and play things to respectable human beings, equal to men in all respects. When Rasul SM came he gave back the females rights. There are many religions in world but no religion can give the rights to the women except Islam. Only Islam thinks about the right of women.

Feroun/Pharah of mishor/ egypt

The history of Musa and Feroun in the eye of Islam

History of Feroun in the eye of Islam.

Feroun named Pharah (2^nd Remises) was the monarch of Egypt during the time of the honored Prophet Musa (Kalimallahi) -(peace be upon him).

And [remember] when we parted the sea for you (Musa) and saved you and your companions and downed feroun with all the people of Feroun while you were looking on. Al-Qur’an 2:50

But We will this day carry you with your dead body that you may be a sign to those after you, and most surely the majority of the people are heedless to our communications. Al-Qur’an 28:40]

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Feroun and his soldiers pursued them in oppression and enmity until, while drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
Now? And you had been disobeyed [on Him] previous to and were of the corrupters?
So today we will save you in body that you may be to those who be successful you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of our signs, are neglectful.
Al-Qur’an 10:90-92

Imam Bin Kathie’s exegesis.
The influence took them up and down. The wave’s accumulated above Feroun; he was weighed down by the stupors of death. While in this state he said, "I believe that there is no god except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."

We know According to Islamic tradition; Musa was born into a famous family of Israelites living in Egypt. He was so poor but honest and the honored prophet Allah. Of his family, Islamic tradition generally comes after his father 'Imran, equivalent to the Amram of the Bible, and traditional genealogies name Levi as his ancestor.^[12] Islam states that Musa was born in a time when the ruling Feroun had enslaved the Israelites after the time of the prophet Joseph (Prophet Yusuf). Around the time of Musa’s' birth, Islamic literature described that the Feroun had a great dream, in which he saw fire coming from the city of Jerusalem. Which was burning everything in his territory except Israelites?^[13]Islamic tradition says that when the Pharaoh was given information that one of the male children would grow up to overthrow him, he become angry and he ordered to prevent the prediction from going on.^[14] Islamic literature further says that the experts of economics in Pharaoh's court advised him that killing the male baby of the Israelites would result in loss of manpower.^[15] Therefore, they recommended that the male child should be killed in one year but safe the next.^[15] Aaron was born in the year in which baby were safe, while Musa was born in the year in which baby they could not kill.

On the Nilnod

Islamic tradition says, Musa’s mother suckled him in secret during this period. The Qur'an codes that when they were in danger of being caught God encouraged her to keep him in a basket and set him floating on the Nilenod. She instructed her daughter to follow the course of the ark and to report back to her. As the daughter followed the ark along the riverbank, Musa was discovered by the Feroun's wife, Asiya, who influenced the Pharaoh to adopt him. The Qur'an coded that when Asiya ordered wet nurses for Musa, Moses denied being breastfed. Islamic tradition coded that this was because God had prohibited Musa from being fed by any wet nurse as to reunite his mother with him. His sister became sad that Musa had not been fed for some point in time consequently; she appeared to the Pharaoh and taught him that she knew someone, who could feed him.^[20] Islamic tradition coded that after being questioned, she was ordered to bring the woman being discussed.^[20] The sister brought their mother who fed Moses and afterward she was selected as the wet nurse of Moses.^[21]

Test of prophecy

According to Isra'iliyat hadith, through his childhood while Moses was playing on Feroun's leg, he grabbed the Pharaoh's body hair. This action encouraged the Pharaoh to think about Moses as the Israelite who would conquer him. The Pharaoh determined to kill Moses but stopped after the Pharaoh's wife interceded and argued that he was just an infant, and we can take care of it as our baby.^[22] Two plates were set before young Moses, one contained rubies and the other held glowing coals.^[22] Moses reached out for the rubies, but the angel Gabriel directed his hand to the coals. Moses grabbed a shining coal and put it in his mouth, burning his tongue.^[23] After the event Moses suffered from a speech defect, but was safe by the Pharaoh

Escape to Median

After having reached adulthood, the Qur'an coded that when Moses was passing by a city, he came across an Egyptian fighting with an Israelite. The Israelite wanted to know for his help against the Egyptian. Moses attempted to intervene and became mixed up in the argument.^[26] In Islamic convention, Moses struck the Egyptian in a state of anger which resulted in his death.^[27] Moses wanted forgiveness to Allah and the next day, he again came across the same Israelite fighting with another Egyptian. The Israelite again asked Moses for help, and as Moses approached the Israelite, he reminded Moses of his manslaughter, and wanted to know if Moses intended to kill him. Moses was informed and the Pharaoh gave permission on Moses to be killed. However, Moses fled away to the desert after being alerted to his punishment.^[14] According to Islamic tradition, after Moses arrived in Median, he witnessed two female shepherds driving back their flocks from a well.^[28] Moses approached them and inquired about their work as shepherds and their retreat from the well. Upon hearing their answers and the old age of their father, Moses watered their flocks for them.^[28] The two females returned to their home and informed their father of the event. The Quran states that Moses was invited by them for a feast. At that feast, their father asked Moses to work for him for a period of eight or ten years, coming back for marriage to one of his daughters.^[26] Moses consented and worked hard for him for the period.^[26]We love Musa very much as prophet of Islam.

Welcome to Mohastangar, historical place in Bangladesh.

Mahasthangar is one of the historical place in Bangladesh. Mahasthangar is situated in Shibganj thana of Bogra District. It is called the second capital city of Bangladesh which was called Pundranagara. It is revealed in 1931, The equipped area was in use till the 18th century AD.^[2]
It is one of the ancient places of Bangladesh; there is the Mazhar (holy tomb) of Shah Sultan Balkhi Mahisawar(Rh) which was built at the position of a Hindu temple is placed at Mahasthangarh. He was a Saint (holy person devoted to Islam) of royal heredity who came to Mahasthangarh area of Bangladesh, with the objective of spreading Islam among non-Muslims. He transformed the people of the area to Islam and established there.
Mahasthangarh, the ancient capital of Pundravardhana is situated 11 km (6.8 mi) north of Bogra of bangladsh on the Bogra-Rangpur main road, with a feeder road (running along the eastern side of the ramparts of the fort for 1.5 km) leading to Jahajghata and site museum. Buses, CNGs, and other vehicles are available for Bogra from Dhaka and take almost 4½ hours for the journey via Bangabandhu Jamuna Bridge crosswise the Jamuna River.Big and small Buses are available from Bogra to Mahasthangarh. Rickshaws are also available for neighboring movement. Hired transport is available from Dhaka to Bogra. Accommodation is available at Bogra.When travelling in a hired vehicle, one can return to Dhaka the same day, unless somebody has a plan to visit Somapura Mahavihara at Paharpur in the district of Naogaon and other places, or hold in a detailed study tour.
It is said that the position for the city in the area was determined upon because it is one of the premier areas in Bangladesh. The land in the area is almost 36 meters (118 ft) above sea level, while Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is around 6 meters (20 ft) above sea level. Another reason for choosing this place was the place and size of the Karatoya River which as recently as in the 13th century was three times wider than Ganges.

Mahasthangarh stands on the red soil of the Barind territory which is slightly elevated within the mostly alluvium region. The elevation of 15 to 25 meters above the surrounding areas makes it a relatively flood free physiographic part.Every year many people come to visit Mohastangar as a part of study tour and picnic. Everyday almost 200 buses come here with a huge amount of people. We are proud of Mohastangar.

BEST LAPTOPS

Essential Tips to Buy a Laptop:

Compact sufficient to bring with you, yet versatile sufficient to run demanding applications, a laptop is the best tool for doing many serious works or plays sitting at home and sitting on the road. While standalone tablets and smart phones become always popular, most people think that everything from typing a research papers to crunching videos to gaming work better on a laptop. So what type of laptop should you buy?

There are many kinds of sizes, features and prices that make choosing the right laptop a challenge. That's why you need to figure out what your needs are. To make the right call, So follow the steps by steps.

A) Pick a Platform: Mac, Windows or Chrome OS?

It is not an easy question to answer, particularly if you're not known with both Macs and PCs. But this quick overview of every platform’s powerful and weaknesses should help.

Most laptops have 3 operating systems: Windows, Chrome OS or Mac OS X (for Mac Books only). Choose the right one is a personal laptop.

a) Windows 10

It is the most flexible operating system, Windows appears on many more makes and models than Chrome OS or Mac OS X. Windows notebooks range in prices from under $200 to several thousand dollars and offers a wide array of features from touch screens to fingerprint readers to dual graphics chips. Windows 10, the latest version of Microsoft's flagship operating system, provides a number of improvements over Windows 7 and 8, including the ability to switch between tablet and desktop modes, a revamped Start menu with live tiles and the powerful Cortana digital assistant. Since its launch in July 2015, Windows 10 has also added a host of improvements, including the ability to use follow-up questions with Cortana, search your email using natural language and use your stylus to scribble almost anywhere.

b) Apple OS X El Capitan

All MacBooks come with Apple's own operating system, Mac OS X El Capitan. Overall, the operating system offers similar functionality to Windows 10, but with a different take on the interface that substitutes an apps dock at the bottom of the screen for Microsoft's Start menu and taskbar. IPhone or iPad users will appreciate iOS-like features such as Launch Pad for your apps, superior multitouch gestures, and the ability to take calls and text from your iPhone. However, OS X isn't made for touch, because no MacBook comes with a touch screen.

c) Chrome OS

Found on inexpensive "Chrome books" such as the Lenovo 100S Chrome book, Google's OS is simple and secure, but limited. The user interface looks a lot like Windows with an application menu, a desktop and the ability to drag windows around, but the main app you use is the Chrome browser. The downside is that there are few offline apps and those that exist don't always work well. However, the operating if you need a device to surf the Web and check email, navigate social networks and chat online, Chrome books are inexpensive and highly portable, and they offer good battery life. Google is also planning to add the ability to run Android apps, which would suddenly make this platform a lot more useful for the masses.

B) Decide If You Want a 2-in-1

These days, many PC laptops fall into the category of "2-in-1s," devices that can switch between traditional clamshell mode, tablet mode and other positions in between such as tent or stand modes. The 2-in-1s generally come in two different styles: detachable with screens that come off the keyboard entirely and flexible laptops with hinges that bend back 360 degrees to change modes. Most of these systems are much better at serving one purpose than the other, with bend-backs being laptops first and detachable offering a superior tablet experience. However, if you don't see the need to use your notebook as a slate, you'll usually get more performance for your money and a better productivity experience with a traditional clamshell laptop.

C) Choose the Right Sizes

Before you look at specs or pricing, you need to figure out just how portable you need your laptop to be. Laptops are usually categorized by their display sizes:

· 11 to 12 inches: The thinnest and lightest systems around have 11- to 12-inch screens and typically weigh 2.5 to 3.5 pounds,

· 13 to 14 inches: Provides the best balance of portability and usability, particularly if you get a laptop that weighs under 4 pounds.

· 15 inches: The most popular size, 15-inch laptops usually weigh 4.5 to 6.5 pounds. Consider this size if you want a larger screen and you're not planning to carry your notebook around often.

· 17 to 18 inches: If your laptop stays on your desk all day every day, a 17- or 18-inch system could provide you with the kind of processing power you need to play high-end games or do workstation-level productivity.

D) Check That Keyboards and Touchpads.

The most impressive specs in the world don't mean diddly if the laptop you're shopping for doesn't have good ergonomics. If you plan to do a lot of work on your computer, make sure the keyboard offers solid tactile feedback, plenty of vertical travel (distance the key goes down when pressed, usually 1 to 2mm) and enough space between the keys.

Look for an accurate touchpad that doesn't give you a jumpy cursor and responds consistently to multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. If you're buying a business laptop, consider getting one with a pointing stick (aka nub) between the G and H keys so you can navigate around the desktop without lifting your fingers off the keyboard's home row.

E) Pick Your Specs

Notebook components such as processor, hard drive, RAM and graphics chip can confuse even notebook aficionados, so don't feel bad if spec sheets look like alphabet soup to you.

Here are the main components to keep an eye on laptops.

· CPU(central processing unite): The "brains" of your computer, the processor has a huge influence on performance, but depending on what you want to do, even the least-expensive model may be good enough. Here's a rundown.

a) AMD A series or Intel Core i3 / i5: If you're looking for a mainstream laptop with the best combination of price and performance, get a Core i5. Core i3 is a small step down. AMD A series CPU (central processing unite is are less common, but promise similar performance.

b) Intel Core i7: High-end performance for gaming rigs and workstations. Models with numbers that end in HQ or K use higher wattage and have four cores, allowing for even faster gaming and productivity.

c) AMD E Series or Intel Pentium/Celeron: Found on low-cost laptops. It provides just enough performance to enable basic tasks such as video viewing, document editing and Web surfing.

d) Intel Atom: Also found on low-cost laptops and 2-in-1s. It offers basic performance but more battery life than Celeron/Pentium.

e) Intel Core m3 / m5 / m7: Low-power and low heat allow systems with these processors to go fangless. Performance is better than Celeron, but a notch below Core i3 / i5.

· RAM: Some sub-$250 laptops come with only 2GB of RAM, but ideally you want at least 4GB on even a budget system and 8GB if you can spend just a little more. For most users, 16GB or more is overkill.

· Storage Drive (aka Hard Drive): Even more important than the speed of your CPU is the performance of your storage drive. If you can afford it and don't need a ton of internal storage, get a laptop with a solid state drive (SSD) rather than a hard drive, because you'll see at least three times the speed and a much faster laptop overall. Among SSDs, the newer PCIe x4 (aka NVME) units offer triple the speed of traditional SATA drives. Sub-$250 laptops use eMMCs memory, which is technically solid-state but not faster than a mechanical hard drive.

· Display: The more pixels you have, the more content you can fit on-screen, and the sharper it will look. Most budget and mainstream laptops have 1366 x 768 displays, but if you can afford it, we recommend paying extra for a panel that runs at 1920 x 1080, also known as full HD or 1080p. Some higher-end laptops have screens that are 2560 x 1600, 3200 x 1800 or even 3840 x 2160, which all look sharp but consume more power, lowering your battery life.
