...Wisdom for Living I. Introduction Background of the study (BOS) Life is like a cycle. People’s life is a daily routine. Everyone is the same in different ways and means, it might be in corporal appearances, attitudes, behaviors, but I assure every individual has their own desires and goal line in life. It is the ultimate reason why we don’t stay immobile throughout our journey no matter how hard the circumstances we experience, all of us must to move on or else we will be a failure or loser. One of the virtues that a person must possess to live a life of success is wisdom. Wisdom is a deep understanding and realization of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgments and actions in keeping with this understanding (Wikipedia.com). It often requires control of one's emotional reactions (the "passions") so that universal principles, reason and knowledge prevail to determine one's actions. Therefore person that is jam-packed of wisdom is zilch to equate to a person who’s known to be genius, attaining this important virtue makes one individual clever and successful person. Since we have perceived in this world where we live not all of smart and intelligent person were all successful in life. In every aspect of our lives we must have the power of true discernment whenever we decide in such a situation where our choices in life are tried and tested. Wisdom helps us to make good choices in life...

...The Influence of Muslim Rule on the Iberian Peninsula. From 711- 1492 the Muslims ruled the Iberian Peninsula until they were drive out by the Christians during the Reconquista. In these seven hundred years the Muslims were able to contribute greatly to the Iberian Peninsula by building mosques and palaces and buildings for school and leaning as well as by spreading the knowledge that they had learned from the Greeks and the Egyptian schools. The Muslims were able to bring Europe out of their ignorant ways of looking at the world and introduce them to new subjects and learning which would be the stepping stones to learning more about the world and the way it works now. In 632, after Muhammad’s death, four Caliphs were rightly chosen to lead Islam. Under their control Islam was able to conquer: the Arabian Peninsula, Southern Mesopotamia, Palestine, Syria, Sassanid Empire, Jerusalem, Egypt, Libya, and Cyprus. In 711 they reached the Iberian Peninsula. They were able to quickly conquer the Peninsula from the Visigoths because they were not well liked by the minorities such as the Jews and Hispano-Romans. Within three years the Muslims were able to take over almost all of the Peninsula except for the northern regions where they remained under Christian Rule. In 755 al- Dākhil reached al- Andalusia and set up the capital in Córdoba. In Córdoba they were able to set up an economic capital that was rich in trading a goods, there was able harmony between the three main religions...

...| Greeks | CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 1 Chinese | Indians and Hindus | Islam | God | Ancient Greek theology was polytheistic, based on the assumptions that there were many gods and goddesses. | The idea of Heaven (T’ien) plays a prominent role in indigenous Chinese religion. The term can refer to a god, an impersonal power, or both. The concept Is now well-defined, and religious scholars have had a difficult time deciding whether T’ien was believed to be a force like fate or a personal identity. It is also unclear whether the ancient Chinese believed T’ien responded to human supplication or simply worked in accordance with the principles of T’ien. | God created human beings and everything. | Monotheism, belief in one God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam. Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. He is unique and exalted above everything. He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. | Man | Men had the dominant role in public life in ancient Greece. They were engaged iin politics and public events, while women were often encouraged to stay in the home. | For the Chinese then, Philosophy is the translation of words into action or the application of theory into praxis. Thus for the Chinese, philosophy singles out a person to live on what he says/teaches thus, a man/woman of integrity who has word/s of honor. | In Hindu tradition, Manu is the name accorded to a progenitor of humanity...

...merely copy the Greek texts, but adapted them and applied the principles to their own unique situations. The House of Wisdom was one of many magnificent places found in Baghdad. Culminated by the caliph Al-Ma’mun the institution became a jewel in the desert. “Word has it that the young caliph once had a dream in which he saw Aristotle, who told him that ‘reason and revelation’ were not just compatible but also mutually supportive, and that a good Muslim ruler should encourage both.” (Akyol) The House of Wisdom became the center for scholars across the world. Both Muslim and non-Muslims gathered together amidst the largest collection of academic works ever seen in history. “Between the 8th and 13th centuries, the libraries in Baghdad (Bait al-Hikma), Damascus (al-Zahiriyah), Timbuktu (Sankoré), Cordoba (Royal Mosque) and Cairo (Dar al-Hikmah) contained more books, manuscripts and literature than in the entire Greek world.” (Lunde) These massive libraries not only served as a collection of academic works, but also as meeting places for scholars and pupils alike. These institutions spread sciences and ideas throughout Islamdom and became the birthplace for some of the most important Islamic scholars. “They studied spherical trigonometry, agriculture, physics, medicine and science, using astrolabes to measure the altitude of stars while setting up sophisticated astronomical observatories.” (Ofek) In 859, the University of Al Karaouine, in Fez Morocco was established and became one of the...

...The Pharmaceutical industry in India is the world's third-largest in terms of volume and stands 14th in terms of value. The Indian pharmaceutical industry has become the third largest producer in the world and is poised to grow into an industry of $ 20 billion in 2015 from the current turnover of $ 12 billion The government started to encourage the growth of drug manufacturing by Indian companies in the early 1960s, and with the Patents Act in 1970.[5] However, economic liberalization in 90s by the former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and the thenFinance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh enabled the industry to become what it is today. The lack of patent protection made the Indian market undesirable to the multinational companies that had dominated the market, and while they streamed out. Indian companies carved a niche in both the Indian and world markets with their expertise in reverse-engineering new processes for manufacturing drugs at low costs. Although some of the larger companies have taken baby steps towards drug innovation, the industry as a whole has been following this business model until the present. The number of purely Indian pharma companies is fairly low. Indian pharma industry is mainly operated as well as controlled by dominant foreign companies having subsidiaries in India due to availability of cheap labour in India at lowest cost. In 2002, over 20,000 registered drug manufacturers in India sold $9 billion worth of formulations and bulk drugs. 85% of...

The basic requirement relevant to good translation is that the translator must have a thorough knowledge of the cultures of both the source language and the target language. The translator needs not sit biting nails and rush to the dictionary every ten minutes. When it has been accepted that translation is not only important but also necessary to our Arab World, there is no point in pondering over the problems of translations. Cultural proximity is a big advantage for translators, it is rewarding for them to look for this when they choose their work. Arabization is part and parcel of the whole journey of the Arab societies to its roots. The starting-off point for any translator is their preferred future; in order to arrive at the destination then it is clearly important to know what the destination is. But it is perhaps better to think 1 Express, an International Journal of Multi Disciplinary Research ...

...Riba, Interest and Six Hadiths: Do We Have a Definition or a Conundrum? Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq Associate Professor of Economics and Finance Upper Iowa University June 2006 [Draft; Feedback welcome] [pic]The Readers are highly encouraged to read another of my essays "Islamic Law and the Use and Abuse of Hadith" before this one to better follow and appreciate this essay. NOTE for fellow Muslims: Because this topic involves what is haram (prohibited) and halal (permissible) in Islam, every Muslim MUST do his/her own due diligence and conscientiously reach own position/decision in regard to personal practice. In doing so regarding this matter or any other aspect of life, Muslims should seek guidance from the Qur'an and the Prophetic legacy. Each hadith is properly referenced, but for internal reference within this essay, in the sequence presented, each hadith is numbered with # H-. Some of the references in this essay are from secondary sources. As the draft takes it final shape, original sources would be gradually cited and replace the secondary source citations.

...Emerging Markets Perspectives - CEO Insights Emerging Markets Perspectives - CEO Insights 1 Convergence & Differentiation What is success in a connected world?* Methodology This report was developed to provide a unique perspective from which to view the successes of companies based in emerging markets. While there are many reports providing valuable insights on how multinationals can expand into emerging markets, very few take a systematic approach towards looking at how emerging-market companies have not only fended off developed-world multinationals, but also found their own ways to expand into foreign markets. In addition to drawing on the insights of PricewaterhouseCoopers partners and associates from every market, we relied on two additional sources: 1. The 11th Annual PwC Global CEO Survey: The authoritative analysis of CEO views on business opportunities and risks of operating in an increasingly connected world. PricewaterhouseCoopers has published the survey for more than a decade, reaching out to more than 1,100 chief executive officers worldwide. The 11th Annual Global CEO Survey was launched in January 2008 at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos. The survey data were re-analysed for this report at the country level as well as by contrasting insights from developed versus emerging markets. For the purposes of this report, we define “developed nations” to include 19 economies, including the United States and Canada, 15 in Western Europe, Japan...

He completed his elementary and high school in Mashad. In his years at the Teacher's Training College, he came into contact with youth who were from the lower economic strata of the society and tasted the poverty and hardship that existed. At the age of eighteen, he started as a teacher and ever since had been a student as well as a teacher. After graduating from college in 1960, on a scholarship he pursued graduate studies in France. Dr. Shariati, an honor student, received his doctorate in sociology in 1964. When he returned to Iran he was arrested at the border and imprisoned on the pretext that he had participated in political activities while studying in France. Released in 1965, he began teaching again at Mashad University. As a Muslim sociologist, he sought to explain the problems of Muslim societies in the light of Islamic principles - explaining them and discussing them with his students. Very soon, he gained popularity with the students and different social classes in Iran. For this reason, the regime felt obliged to discontinue his courses at the university. Then...

...THE NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system allows the animal to quickly detect, communicate and co-ordinate information about its external and internal environment so it can make efficient appropriate responses for survival and/or reproduction. The two major parts of our nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is made of the brain and spinal cord. The cranial nerves, spinal nerves and ganglia make up the PNS. The cranial nerves connect to the brain. The cranial and spinal nerves contain the axons (fibres) of sensory and motor nerve cells. Nerve cells areas are also known as neurons. Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. They carry information or impulses as electrical signals from one place to another in the body. There are 3 types of neurons: Sensory Neurons- Sensory neurons carry electrical signals (impulses) from receptors or sense organs to the CNS. Sensory neurons are also called afferent neurons. The cell body of sensory neurons is outside the CNS in ganglia. Motor Neurons- Motor Neurons Carry Impulses From The CNS To Effector Organs Motor Neurons Are Also Called Efferent Neurons. The Cell Bodies Of Motor Neurons Are Inside The CNS. Interneurons- These are also called intermediate, relay, or associative neurons. They carry information between sensory and motor neurons. They are found in the CNS. TOP The Structure of Neurons A Neuron consists of THREE MAIN PARTS: A. CELL...
