شروط الإسلام
ونواقضه العشرة الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله خاتم النبيين، وعلى آله وصحبه ومن والاه إلى يوم الدين. أما بعد: فاعلم أخي المسلم؛ رحمنا الله وإياك: أن الأصول الثلاثة التي يجب على كل مسلم ومسلمة تعلمها هي: معرفة العبد ربه، ودينه، ونبيه محمدًا (. ربنا: هو الله جل جلاله رب العالمين الذي خلقنا وخلق جميع المخلوقات ورزقهم، وربانا وربي جميع العالمين بنعمته وهو معبودنا، ليس لنا معبودٌ سواهُ، وهو الإله الحق ولا إله غيره، وكل معبود سواه باطل. ديننا: الإسلام؛ هو الاستسلام لله بالتوحيد والانقياد له بالطاعة، والبراءة من الشرك وأهله. نبينا: محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب بن هاشم، وهاشم من قريش، وقريش من العرب، والعرب من ذرية إسماعيل بن إبراهيم الخليل على نبينا وعليهما الصلاة والسلام. وهو خاتم الأنبياء والمرسلين، ورسول الله إلى الناس أجمعين، وهو خير الخلائق وأفضلهم وأكرمهم على الله تعالى وأعلاهم درجة وأقربهم إلى الله وسيلة. وهو المبعوث إلى الثقلين بالحق والهدى بعثه الله رحمة للعالمين، قال تعالى: (وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ( [الأنبياء: 107]. وإذا عرفت هذا أخي الحبيب، فاعلم أن أصل الدين وقاعدته أمران: الأول: الأمر بعبادة الله وحده لا شريك له، والحرص على ذلك، والموالاة فيه، وتكفير من تركه. الثاني: الإنذار عن الشرك في عبادة الله، والتغليظ في ذلك، والمعاداة فيه، وتكفير من فعله.

مفتاح الإسلام «شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدًا رسول الله». الشهادتان: وهما مفتاح الإسلام، ولا يمكن الدخول إلى الإسلام إلا بهما. ومعناهما: أولا- شهادة «لا إله إلا الله» تعني: نفي حق العبادة عن كل ما عُبد من دون الله تعالى. أي: لا معبود بحق إلا الله لا شريك له. ثانيا- شهادة «محمد رسول الله»: هي الإقرار باللسان والاعتقاد الجازم بالقلب والإيمان أن محمد بن عبد الله هو مرسلٌ من عند الله، أنزل عليه كتابه وائتمنه على دينه وكلفه بتبليغ رسالته؛ من أطاعه دخل الجنة ومن عصاه دخل النار، وأن الله قد عصمه من الزلل في تبليغه لهذه الرسالة وجعل طاعته طاعةً له سبحانه فقال: (مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ( [النساء: 80]، ونهانا عن مخالفة أمره فقال: (وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ( [النساء: 14].

شروط لا إله إلا الله 1- العلم: بمعناها نفيًا وإثباتًا؛ بحيث يعلم القلب ما ينطق به اللسان؛ فمن تلفظ بها وهو لا يعرف معناها ومقتضاها فإنها لا تنفعه؛ لأنه لم يعتقد ما تدلُّ عليه، كالذي يتكلم بلغه لا يفهمها. قال الله تعالى: (فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ( [محمد: 19]، وقال تعالى: (إِلَّا مَنْ شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ( [الزخرف: 86]، أي بـ «لا إله إلا الله» وهم يعلمون بقلوبهم معنى ما ينطقون به بألسنتهم. وقال النبي (: «من مات وهو يعلم أن لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة» [رواه مسلم]. ومعناها: لا معبود بحق إلا الله، والعبادة: هي كل ما يحبه الله ويرضاه من الأقوال، والأ‘مال الظاهرة والباطنة. 2- اليقين: هو كمال العلم بها، المنافي للشك والريب، وأن يكون القائل مستيقنًا بمدلول هذه الكلمة يقينًا جازمًا؛ لأن الإيمان لا يغني فيه إلا اليقين. قال تعالى: (إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوا وَجَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ( [الحجرات: 15]، وقال (: «أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأني رسول الله، لا يلقي الله بهما عبدٌ غير شاك فيهما إلا دخل الجنة» [رواه مسلم]. 3- الإخلاص: المنافي للشرك، وتصفية العمل بصالح النية عن جميع شوائب الشرك، وهو ما تدل عليه لا إله إلا الله. قال تعالى: (أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ( [الزمر: 3]، وقوله: (وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ( [البينة: 5].

قال (: «أسعد الناس بشفاعتي يوم القيامة من قال: لا إله إلا الله خالصًا مخلصًا من قلبه» [رواه البخاري]. 4- المحبة: لهذه الكلمة ولما دلت عليه، والسرور بذلك. قال تعالى: (وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْدَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ( [البقرة: 165]. أخبر الله تعالى في هذه الآية؛ أن عباده المؤمنين أشدُّ حبًا له؛ وذلك لأنهم لم يتخذوا من دونه أندادًا، وعلامة حب العبد ربه تقديم أمره وإن خالفت هواه، وبغض ما يبغض، والولاء والبراء في الله، واتباع رسوله واقتفاء أثره وقبول هديه (. وقال (: «ثلاث من كن فيه وجد حلاوة الإيمان: أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما، وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله، وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر بعد إذ أنقذه الله منه كما يكره أن يلقى في النار..» [متفق عليه]. 5- الصدق: المنافي للكذب المانع من النفاق، وأن يقوله المرء صادقًا من قلبه، ويصدق لسانه قلبه. قال تعالى: (فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ( [العنكبوت: 3]، وقال تعالى: (وَالَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ( [الزمر: 33]. قال (: «ما من أحد يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدًا عبده ورسوله، صدقًا من قلبه إلا حرمه الله على النار». [رواه البخاري ومسلم]. 6- الانقياد: يعني لحقوقها، وهي الأعمال الواجبة إخلاصًا لله وطلبًا لمرضاته، والمنافي لترك ذلك. قال تعالى: (وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ( [الزمر: 54]، وقوله تعالى: (وَمَنْ يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى( [لقمان: 22]، أي: بـ «لا إله إلا الله» فهذا هو الانقياد لله تعالى بعبادته وحده. قال (: «لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من ولده ووالده والناس أجمعين» [رواه مسلم]. إن هذه هي المحبة المطلقة والانقياد التام بالنبي (. 7- القبول: المنافي للرَّد، فقد يقولها من يعرفها لكن لا يقبلها ممن دعاه إليها تعصبًا أو تكبرًا. قال تعالى: (إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ( [الصافات: 35]، فجعل الله علَّة تعذيبهم وسببه هو استكبارهم عن قول: (لا إله إلا الله)، وتكذيبهم من جاء بها. قال (: «مثل ما بعثني الله به من الهدى والعلم كمثل الغيث الكثير أصاب أرضًا، فكان منها نقية قبلت الماء فأنبتت الكلأ والعشب الكثير، وكانت منها أجادب أمسكت الماء فنفع الله بها الناس فشربوا وسقوا وزرعوا. وأصاب منها طائفة أخرى إنما هي قيعان لا تمسك ماء ولا تنبت كلأ...» [رواه البخاري]. واعلم أخي المسلم: أن المقصود من هذه الشروط ليس مجرد التلفظ بالشهادتين، وإنما المقصود التقيد بالمعنى والعمل بالمقتضى؛ لأنَّ هاتين الشهادتين أساس صحة الأعمال وقبولها، إذ لا صحة لعمل ولا قبول إلاَّ بالإخلاص لله تعالى، والمتابعة لرسوله (، فبإخلاص العبادة لله والخضوع والطاعة: تتحقق شهادة أن: «لا إله إلا الله». وبالمتابعة لرسول الله ( والإذعان لما أمر به ونهى عنه: تتحقق شهادة أن «محمدًا رسول الله». وهذان أمران لا نجاة للمسلم إلا بهما، ويحرم التحاكم إلى غيرهما.

نواقض الإسلام اعلم أخي المسلم علمنا الله وإياك طريق الحق: أنَّ للإسلام نواقض، ومن أهم هذه النواقض وأخطرها وأكثرها وقوعًا عشر نواقض: الناقض الأول: الشرك في عبادة الله: وهو من أعظم نواقض الإسلام، ولهذا حذر الله منه في القرآن وذم أهله وذكر مصيرهم المشين؛ فقد تكررت لفظة الشرك وما تصرف منها أكثر من مائة وستين مرة، قال الله تعالى: (إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ( [النساء: 48]، وقوله تعالى: (إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصَارٍ( [المائدة: 72]. والشرك: هو أن يُجْعَلَ مع الله شريكًا سواء كان في الربوبية أو الألوهية؛ إلاَّ أنه يكثر إطلاقه على الشرك في الألوهية. والشرك نوعان: وهما: * الشرك الأكبر: وهو مخرج من الإسلام، وصاحبه إن لقي الله به، فهو مخلد في النار. لا يغفره الله إلا بالتوبة. * الشرك الأصغر: وهو لا يخرج من الإسلام، ولا ينافي أصل التوحيد ولكنه ينافي كماله، وصاحبه إن لقي الله به، فهو تحت المشيئة: إن شاء عفا عنه، وإن شاء عذَّبه.

الناقض الثاني: من جعل بينه وبين الله وسائط: فيدعوهم، ويسألهم الشفاعة، ويتوكل عليهم؛ فقد كفر إجماعًا؛ لأنه لا واسطة بين الخالص والمخلوق إلا في تبليغ الشرائع. الناقض الثالث: من لم يكفر المشركين: أو شك في كفرهم، أو صحح مذهبهم؛ كفر إجماعًا؛ لأنه لم يعرف الإسلام. الناقص الرابع: الاعتقاد بعدم اكتمال الإسلام أو قبول حكم غيره: من اعتقد أن غير هدي النبي ( أكمل من هديه، أو أنَّ حكم غيره أحسن من حكمه؛ كالذي يفضِّل حكم الطواغيت على حكمه، كتفضيل الحكم بالقوانين المخالفة للكتاب والسنة، أو من اعتقد بأن النظام الإسلامي لا يصلح تطبيقه في هذا الزمان، أو أن الإسلام كان سببًا في تخلف المسلمين، أو أنه ينحصر في علاقة المرء بربه دون أن يتدخل في شؤون الحياة الأخرى. قال تعالى: (وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ( [المائدة: 44]، وقال تعالى: (فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا( [النساء: 65]. ومن استحل الحكم بغير ما أنزل الله؛ يكفر، ولو قال: إن حكم الله أفضل، وعمله هو استحلال له. الناقض الخامس: من أبغض شيئًا مما جاء به الرسول (: ولو عمل به كفر؛ لأنه من النفاق الاعتقادي، الذي صاحبه في الدرك الأسفل من النار. قال تعالى: (ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ( [محمد: 9]. الناقض السادس: من استهزأ بشيء من دين الرسول (: أو ثوابه أو عقابه ولو هازلاً؛ فقد كفر؛ لأن الله تعالى يقول: (قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآَيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ * لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ( [التوبة: 65، 66]. الناقض السابع: ممارسة أنواع السحر: من مارس السحر أو آمن به فقد كفر، والدليل قول الله تعالى: (وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ( [البقرة: 102]. الناقض الثامن: مظاهرة المشركين ومعاونتهم على المسلمين: ومن فعل ذلك فقد كفر، والدليل قوله تعالى: (وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ( [المائدة: 51]. الناقض التاسع: الاعتقاد في إمكان الخروج عن الشريعة: من اعتقد أن بعض الناس يسعه الخروج عن شريعة محمد ( كما وسع الخضر الخروج عن شريعة موسى (؛ فهو كافر؛ لأن الله تعالى يقول: (وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآَخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ( [آل عمران: 85]. الناقض العاشر: الإعراض عن دين الله تعالى: وهو الإعراض الكلي عن دين الله، أو عما لا يصح الإسلام إلا به، لا يتعلمه ولا يعمل به، والدليل قوله تعالى: (وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآَيَاتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا إِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنْتَقِمُونَ( [السجدة: 22]. والإعراض هو؛ الإعراض عن تعلُّم أصل الدين الذي به يكون المرء مسلمًا. وأخيرًا.. اعلم أخي المسلم: هداك الله إلى الحق؛ لا فرق في جميع هذه النواقض بين الهازل والجاد والخائف؛ إلا المكره، والإكراه يكون بالضرب والقتل والتعذيب بالفعل، لا بمجرد التهديد؛ ففي هذه الحالة لا يكفر، ما دامت الموافقة باللسان والقلب مطمئن بالإيمان. واحذرها أخي الحبيب كلُّها فإنها من أعظم ما يكون خطرًا، وأكثر ما يكون وقوعًا، فينبغي للمسلم أن يحذرها ويخاف منها على نفسه. ونعوذ بالله من موجبات غضبه وأليم عقابه.. اللهم آمين. فإذا عرفت هذا فاعلم: أن تحقيق التوحيد هو تخليصه من شوائب الشرك والبدع، وهو أساس الدين الذي لا يصحُّ للعبد إسلام إلاَّ به، ولا يقبل منه صلاة ولا زكاة ولا صوم ولا حج إذا لم يكن موحدًا لله؛ لأنَّ غير الموحد مشرك والمشرك عمله محبط وذنبه غير مغفور. قال تعالى: (وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ( [الزمر: 65]. وصلى الله على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.

Sexually Transmitted Disease

...What is Sexually Transmitted Disease? What are the Common Sexually transmitted diseases? What are the Cause of Each Sexually Transmitted Diseases? What are the signs/symptoms and Diagnosis? What is the complications? What is the Effect of sexually transmitted disease? \   S exually transmitted infection is a broader term than sexually transmitted disease. An infection is a colonization by a parasitic species, which may not cause any adverse effects. In a disease, the infection leads to impaired or abnormal function. In either case, the condition may not exhibit signs or symptoms. Increased understanding of infections like HPV, which infects most sexually active individuals but cause disease in only a few has led to increased use of the term STI. Public health officials originally introduced the term sexually transmitted infection, which clinicians are increasingly using alongside the term sexually transmitted disease in order to distinguish it from the former. STD may refer only to infections that are causing diseases, or it may be used more loosely as a synonym for STI. Most of the time, people do not know that they are infected with an STI until they are tested or start showing symptoms of disease. Moreover, the term sexually transmissible disease is sometimes used since it is less restrictive in consideration of other factors or means of transmission. For instance, meningitis is transmissible by means of sexual contact but is not labeled as an STI...

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

...Sexually transmitted diseases For my research paper I decided to write on sexually transmitted diseases because it seems that we are hearing more and more about them. They are becoming more of a problem in the United States and it is fair to say that they are not going to go a way for a long time, if even at all. Sexually transmitted diseases can change a person’s life and even kill them. If a person wants to be sexually active they must understand the risks that are involved and how they can protect themselves. The first sexually transmitted disease that I want to talk about is chlamydia. Chlamydia, first of all, is a bacteria. The chance of being infected with chlamydia is very high among teenagers and young adults due to sexual activity. Chlamydia is transmitted through sexual contact, mainly vaginal or anal. It also has to be transmitted by someone that has been infected. Many people that have chlamydia do not even know they are infected, because they do not show any symptoms. To be exact, according to Engender Health, “there are about 75% of infected women and half of infected men have no symptoms of chlamydia.” The risk of a person becoming infected is very high if the person is engaging in unsafe sex, having sex with more than one partner, and being in a sexual relationship with someone who has multiple sex partners. To protect yourself and reduce your risk one should use condoms during sex, and limit your number of sex partners. (Engender Health) The symptoms...

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

...Sexually Transmitted Diseases There are at least 25 different sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. STDs are most prevalent in teens and young adults. The correct use of latex condoms decreases the risk of transmitting a STD. The only guaranteed prevention against a STD is abstinence from any/all sexual activity. The incidence of STDs is almost non-existent in those involved in faithful marriages or in a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes the month of April as STD Awareness Month. This annual observance is in place to raise awareness of STDs and to emphasize the importance of prevention, testing, and treating. There are three types of STDs: parasitic, bacterial, and viral. The most common STDs are Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, human papilloma virus, herpes, hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS. While many STDs are treatable and curable, some are not and carry life-long, even life-threatening consequences. Chlamydia is the most common curable STD. It is caused by a bacterium that infects the urethra in men and women and the cervix in women. Chlamydia is transmitted during vaginal, oral, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. It can also be transmitted from mother to child during delivery. Chlamydia is probably the most common STD because symptoms may not be present for weeks, months, or even years after exposure. The most frequent...

...Isn’t making love is generally thought of as a magical thing shared between two people? Those two people are sharing a bond in which to express their affection towards each other. When making love, one doesn’t think of the chances harming themselves, however, in that enchanting exchange of adoration, there can be a horrific consequence if one fails to be cautious. It can result in sexually transmitted diseases. These diseases can kill any person who is sexually active. One needs to know that there is a possibility of receiving an STD. There are chances in which they can be cured but for some, it isn’t an option. An alternative may be to slow it down, but it will remain inside of you gradually weakening the immune system. It is all caused from sexual activity with one that previously acquires a sexually transmitted disease. An STD is vastly transmittable, but 100% avoidable. Sexual intercourse may seem entirely harmless, however the escalating number of those with sexually transmitted diseases confirm that what may appear to be safe can be exactly the opposite. The expression sexually transmitted disease is used to define over twenty-five to thirty infectious organisms that move from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact or the exchange of bodily fluids in the oral, anal and genital areas during sexual activity. It can also be spread through drug users who share their equipment where it would go straight to their blood stream. In addition, pregnant women who already...

Std's - Sexually Transmitted Diseases

...STD's - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually transmitted diseases, STD's, also known as Venereal diseases, VD, are spread through sexual contact, and the exchange of body fluids. Anyone who is sexually active can contract an STD. Most STD's don't show symptoms, so you can have, spread and even contract an STD without even knowing it. Some STD's are serious and others can have long term consequences. Some of the consequences could be infertility, certain cancers, and other chronic diseases years after initial infection. If symptoms do appear it may take anywhere from two days to a couple of months after initial exposure to appear. Some may take years to show up. One out of every five Americans carry a sexually transmitted disease. More than thirteen million are affected every year. Nearly one-fifth infected are younger than twenty-five years of age. Every year three million American teenagers acquire an STD. Adolescents are at a higher risk because they may have multiple partners, unprotected intercourse, and their partners are at higher risk. You would be at a higher risk of acquiring an STD if: you or your partner have had unprotected sex with someone, if you or your partner has had sex with someone after using drugs or alcohol, you or your partner have had sex after using cocaine, or you or your partner have used IV drugs.

Three Most Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among College Students

...Three Most Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among College Students 425 Human Sexuality and Sex Education In class, we had to choose a human sexuality topic that would be most relevant to college students. For most college students, condoms, birth control, and relationships are the topics they think of first when it comes to sex. What peaked my interest are sexually transmitted diseases with college students. Usually in class, the book will show pictures and get the medical list of symptoms with ten to twelve STDs. Never have I seen a presentation or a lecture directed at college students. For most college students are having sex, and yet the topic of STD is not being discuss. From my friends to family members, I have never known someone directly having a STD. The most common sexually transmitted diseases among college students are chlamydia, herpes, and human papillomavirus. I think college students should know about this because it is prevalent in our lives - with the lifestyle college students have from partying by consuming alcohol and then wanting to have sex. This isn't something like Ebola where the disease does not affect you because you live far away from the source. Sexually transmitted diseases are common and prevalent in society. Having the knowledge about the types of treatments and signs to look for can save you dealing with a decision for the rest of your life. Nearly 10 million people between 15...

How Can the High Teen Pregnancy and Sexual Transmitted Disease Rate Among Mississippi Teens Be Solved?

...E’Lexus Moore EN 111 003 Mr. Brian Kehler June 22, 2012 How can the high teen pregnancy and sexual transmitted disease rate among Mississippi teens be solved? The United States teen pregnancy rate has fallen, but Mississippi still has the highest birthrate in the nation. Mississippi reported 64 births per 1000 teens aged fifteen through nineteen in 2011, more than 60 percent above the United States average. To solve the high rate of teen pregnancy and sexual transmitted diseases in Mississippi, public schools should offer abstinence plus classes for the fifth through ninth graders and comprehensive sex education for the tenth through twelfth graders. “A mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity.” Different people will disagree about the veracity of this statement, but we know that it does not reflect the experiences of the majority of young people. Therefore, classes should be offered to educate the younger people about sex and its consequences. Abstinence plus programs teaches teens abstinence but includes information about condoms and contraception methods. Simultaneously, comprehensive sex education teaches abstinence as the best method for avoiding pregnancy and sexual transmitted diseases but also teaches condoms and contraception to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and of infection with STDs. Offering comprehensive sex and abstinence plus classes in the schools are age appropriate...

Genetically Transmitted Disorders

...Genetically Transmitted Disorders Introduction Genetics originated in the mid-19th century when Gregor Mendel discovered over a ten year period of experimenting with pea plants that certain traits are inherited. His discoveries provided the foundation for the science of genetics. Mendel's findings continue to spur the work and hopes of scientists to uncover the mystery behind how our genes work and what they can reveal to us about the possibility of having certain diseases and conditions. The scientific field of genetics can help families affected by genetic disorders to have a better understanding about heredity, what causes various genetic disorders to occur, and what possible prevention strategies can be used to decrease the incidence of genetic disorders (Pitman, 2002). What is Heredity? Why do children look like their parents? Why do brothers and sisters resemble each other? This is because we “inherent” traits from our parents. The passing of traits from parents to child is the basis of heredity. Traits are physical characteristics. Eye color, nose shape, and many other physical features are some of the traits that are inherited from parents (Kristine & Stewart, 2007). What is genetics? Genetics is the science that studies the mechanics of heredity, or the means by which traits are passed from parents to offspring. Through genetics a number of specific disorders have been identified as being genetically caused (ibid, 2007). Dominant Inheritance ...

The Awareness of Sexually Transmitted Infections (Stis) Among Secondary School Students in Owerri Municipal Area of Imo State, Nigeria.

...The awareness of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) among Secondary School students in Owerri Municipal Area of Imo State, Nigeria. By A.M. Adewale. Department of Biology, Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education, Owerri. Imo State, Nigeria. Email: mosesremimec@yahoo.com And M.O. Ayodele. Kwara State College of Education (T), Lafiagi. Kwara State, Nigeria. Email: oluoyedele@yahoo.com. Introduction. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are transmitted through sexul contacts and the most common ones are hepatitis B, genital herpes, syphilis, chlamydia, gornorrhea, genital warts, pubic lice and HIV/AIDS (WHO, 2006). STDs are diseases that you get by having sex (intercourse, oral or anal) with someone who already has a sexually transmitted disease (Dehne and Riedner, 2005). Although there are diversity in culture and practices of different practices among different nations of the world, hthe attitude to human sexual relationships seems to be almost similar among all men. Moreover geographical barrier does no longer effectively separate interactions among the diverse people of the world. THe prevalence and pattern of infections are not different among all men who have similar diposition to acquiring diseases. Sexually transmitted infections and the causative agents are commonly prevalent prevalent in all parts of the world. According to Child Trends (2013), there are more than 25 kinds of STIs, acquired primarily through...

Transmitted Light Microscopy

...techniques employ a different fundamental system. [1][10][11] In this lab, we make use of transmitted light microscopy – a practical and common technique made possible by sample illumination using a light source on the opposite side of the specimen from the objective. [2] Relatively, this technique was discovered only very recently and has by and large become just as heavily used as reflected light microscopy. The chronology of the transmitted light microscope is rooted in the evolution of the optical microscope, but branches off in 1893 when August Kӧhler began to work with sample illumination and made use of light that interfered with the sample, rather than the light being absorbed and reflected.[3] Transmitted light microscopy is heavily favored to observe biological sample and in Figure 1, we can see how light is transmitted through the sample and into an eyepiece, instead of being reflected off the surface.[4] Figure 1 Unstained (left) and stained (right) biological sample. In 1953, this technique saw a crucial jump in development and began exploring phase contrast techniques.[5] Bright-field and dark-field techniques also allowed for contrast between specimen and background for better identification of sample characteristics, but they did could not show all aspects of a specimen.[6] By 1955, polarized light and differential interference microscopy also became additions to the transmitted light family. These techniques use similar yet more advanced fundamentals – they...
