The history of the wars of Islam which sprang out of its wish to direct mankind to the right path if all peaceful means towards that end should prove ineffective. They were not motivated by any ambition to exploit or vanquish a people by any military commander, for they were, in a word, wars waged in the way of Allah SWT. Not only this but clear injunctions & rules were also laid down for the conduct of these wars. The Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW admonishing the Muslims said, "Go in the name of Allah SWT to fight in the way of Allah SWT; kill him who rejects Allah SWT; fight but do not commit a perfidy, nor mutilate, nor kill a child." (Muslim, Abu Daud & Tirmizi). Also no man except he who carried arms against the Muslim army was to be killed. Nothing was to be destroyed or ruined, nor anybody's honour violated. No mischief or evil was to be encouraged, for "Surely Allah SWT does not love the mischief-makers." History bears witness that the Muslims upheld...

From the 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History Michael Hart's choice of Muhammad SAW to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad SAW founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive. The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad SAW, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was...

Success Stories When you think “millionaire,” what image comes to mind? For many of us, it’s a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud. But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivates them isn’t material possessions but the choices that money can bring: “For the rich, it’s not about getting more stuff. It’s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want,” says T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job you don’t like. According to the Spectrem Wealth Study, an annual survey of America’s wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever before—the number of millionaires nearly doubled in the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. To make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the rich...

The Toyota Lean Production System (TPS) emphasised the role of leadership in the manufacturing system. In TPS, the leader should implement three major tasks; i) to go and see, ii) to ask why and iii) to show respect to others. These were the key tasks of leaders in the manufacturing plants, and by implementing the system, Toyota has emerged as one of the market leaders in the motor industry. Let us examine each of the tasks. The first was for the leader to go and see for himself the actual conditions, problems or issues faced by staff members and consumers. A leader should not place a barrier between him and the people, or try to avoid meeting those under his/her leadership. This is indeed very true. A leader should not lose touch with his staff members. He should always mingle with them and try to understand and appreciate their predicament. A leader should not shy away from the public, or create an exclusive environment in which he only meets or mixes with certain elite groups on...

According to a Hadith, it is not right for a Muslim who has property to bequeath to pass 2 nights without having his will written down. And, in another Hadith, a Muslim who has made a will is he who dies on a clear path (having peace of mind), on a recommended practice, on being fearful of Allah SWT wanting martyrdom & he dies forgiven. A Muslim preparing to have a will needs to know some basic rules. He must keep in mind the concept of wealth ownership in Islam, namely, all wealth belongs to Allah SWT & man acts as trustee. As such, he cannot will away according to his wishes. 2 basic rules are: 1. He cannot bequeath to his legal heirs. Legal heirs are those who have a fixed share of the deceased's estate according to Faraid, & 2. Bequests shall not exceed 1/3rd of the estate after settling debts.

Salam Ma'al Hijrah 1430H. The Islamic new year is much more relevant for the Muslims since the hijrah means moving from a worse phase to a better phase: in terms of believing/spiritual matters, financial aspects, politically, socially, etc. Perhaps the Zionists/Jews are sending a rather terrorist message to the Palestinians/Muslims in ushering the Islamic new year by bombing them using their air power/supremacy - killing innocent people in Gaza. They are not interested in peace but use aggression/terrorise to massacre the Muslims/Arabs/Palestinians. Is OIC doing anything about it or the UN/US cares about it? They only care if their cities/peoples are bombarded or terrorise by the Zionists/Jews. There is no power save the Divine Powers of Allah SWT: La hawla wa quwata illa billahil 'alail 'aziim.

17 ways in which the financial blueprints of the rich differ from those of the poor and the middle-class. Rich people believe: “I create my life.” Poor people believe: “Life happens to me.” (This is HUGE. Every successful person I know is control of her life. Unhappy people are constantly complaining to me how this, that, or the other thing prevents them from doing something.) Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich. Rich people think big. Poor people think small. Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles. Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people. (This is important, too — it seems to hold true among my friends.) Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people. (Another important one.) Rich people are willing to promote...

The secrets of success in comparing alternative designs are to obtain sufficiently realistic data & to use an appropriate method of economic analysis . These seemingly simple requirements are not satisfied without some careful effort; there are many examples, published & otherwise, which violate these principles & therefore produce results which are likely to be misleading. The scope for error multiplies with the size & complexity of the alternatives; short-cuts & doubtful assumptions may be tolerated for low investments in small items of equipment, but are liable to produce serious errors when entire ships or major systems are being compared. Some of the most common pitfalls include: 1. Emphasis on costs alone rather than the difference of income minus costs, i.e., profit ; 2. Failure to recognize that the engineer is usually more concerned to evaluate differences correctly than absolute values ; 3. Failure to distinguish between differences which separately infl...

Go for it. Go to be a leader. 1. “ Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow”. 2. “ Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”. 3. “ Leadership is the influencing process of leaders and followers to achieve organizational objectives through changes”. 4. “ Leadership is the behavior of an individual… directing the activities of a group toward a shared goal”. 5. “ Leadership is the influential increment over and above mechanical compliance with the routine directives of the organization” 6. “ Leadership is the process of incluencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement” 7. “ Leadership is a process of giving purpose (meaningful direction) to collective effort, and causing willing effort to be expended to achieve purpose” 8. “ Leadership is the ability to step outside the culture… to start evolutionary change processes that are more adaptive” ...

What Does a Sales Manager Do? Like all managers, the Sales Manager also has to plan, organize, motivate & control. Ho does all this in relation to salesman. He therefore sets sales objectives, which are derived from marketing objectives. These sales objectives are the total sales volumes which is broken up into individual product sales figures. Productwise volumes are given to individual territories & even sometimes for individual customers. The salesman has then to achieve this target which is also called a Sales Quota. The Sales Manager, together with his salesmen, is able to derive monthwise sales figures in units and RM (dollars) & sales per customer in an area, in units & RM (dollars) per month for each of his salesmen's territories. When working out the individual product volumes to be sold, the sales manager will naturally keep in mind 2 important factors: 1. What sales are achievable based on market conditions; 2. Which products need to be sold more because ...

In his discussion of the Quran, Bucaille emphasizes three important points: a) First, there is nothing in the Quran that contradicts modern science; b) Second, there is no mention of some of the false beliefs that people had at that time of the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, concerning the creation, the universe and science in general; and, c) Three, there is no way that the Prophet Muhammad could have known at his time many of the facts alluded to in the Quran. For the sake of brevity, though, it will be possible to discuss only one verse in some detail here demonstrating the “scientific miracles” of the Quran. [1] Upon reading the Quran, one topic that catches many a reader’s eye is the discussion of the creation of the human within the womb of the mother. God says in the Quran: “We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (l...

10 Things Millionaires Won't Tell You 1. "You may think I'm rich, but I don't." A million dollars may sound like a fortune to most people, and folks with that much cash can't complain they're richer than 90 percent of U.S. households and earn $366,000 a year, on average, putting them in the top 1 percent of taxpayers. But the club isn't so exclusive anymore. Some 10 million households have a net worth above $1 million, excluding home equity , almost double the number in 2002. Moreover, a recent survey by Fidelity found just 8 percent of millionaires think they're "very" or "extremely" wealthy, while 19 percent don't feel rich at all. "They're worried about health care, retirement and how they'll sustain their lifestyle," says Gail Graham, a wealth-management executive at Fidelity . Indeed, many millionaires still don't have enough for exclusive luxuries, like membership...
