بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
السلامُ علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ
السلامُ علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ
1 - جب تم نماز نہ پڑهو تو مت سوچو كہ وقت نہيں ملا. بلكہ يہ سوچو كہ تم سے كونسى غلطى ہوئى ہے كہ الله تبارک وتعالى نے تم كو اپنے سامنے كهڑا كرنا پسند نہ
كيا ... اس پر غور كرو!!!
2 - اگر توكل سيكهنا ہے تو پرندوں سے سيكهو كہ جب وه شام كو گهر واپس جاتے ہيں توان كى چونچ ميں كل كے لئيے كوئى دانہ نہيں ہوتا.
3 - جو ايمان اتنا كمزور ہو كہ چل كر مسجد تک نہ جائے وه بهلا قيامت كے دن جنت ميں كيسے لے كر جائيگا....... غور كريں!!!!!
4 - ہركوئى چاہتا ہے كہ مجہے كاميابى مل جائے ليكن جب مسجد سے دن ميں 5 مرتبہ آواز آتى ہے "حي على الفلاح" آؤ كاميابى كى طرف – تو اس طرف جانے كى ہم زحمت نہيں كرتے. افسوس كہ جس چيز كو وه سارى زندگى ہر جگہ تلاش كركہ بهى حاصل نہيں كرسكا وه تو خود اسے اپنے پاس بلارہى ہے .... ذراسوچيں!!!
5 - الله رب العزت نے فرمايا اگر ميں نے تمام باتيں قسمت ميں لكہنى ہوتيں تو ميں اپنے بندے كو دعا مانگنا نہ سيكهاتا.
6 - كوشش كرو كہ تم دنيا ميں رہو دنيا تم ميں نہ رہے كيونكہ كشتى جب تک پانى ميں رہتى ہے خوب تيرتى ہے ليكن جب پانى كشتى ميں جاتا ہے تو وه ڈوب جاتى ہے . جزاك الله

JEDDAH: KHADIJAH HABEEB
Tuesday 2 April 2013
Last Update 2 April 2013 8:20 am
Inspection rounds made by government officers to limit labor breaches have
pushed people working under sponsors other than their own to submit their
resignation from their jobs, resulting in the refusal of some employers to
pay them their dues under the pretext they don’t have sponsors.
In a telephone call to Arab News, Khaled Abu Rashed, a lawyer, said: “From a
legal point of view, any employee can take the employer to court if he
refuses to give him any outstanding dues, such as vacation pay, unfair
dismissal pay or end-of-term service benefits under the pretext that the
employee is not under his sponsorship. In such cases, the employee can file
a complaint with the Labor Office.”
He added: “We hear many stories of employers who won’t give their employees
their rights or delay their payments, thinking they are not entitled because
they are violators and don’t work for their sponsors.”
He also pointed out that the common employer practice of giving employees
compulsory vacation is also illegal and that it is better to rectify their
legal position by allowing for their transfer to another sponsor rather than
forcing them into hiding.
Justice Ministry spokesman Hattab Al Enizi said in a phone interview with
Arab News that the employer, sponsor and employee should all be prosecuted
for illegal practice. He stressed the fact that anyone with a valid
residency, even if he doesn’t work with his sponsor, can file a complaint
with the local employment office.
Legally, Majed Qaroub said: “We can’t say expatriate laborers should face
severe punishment and deportation. We should not forget the employers who
have been exploiting human needs. Their actions are an explicit violation of
the laws and regulations of this country and they should pay the cost of
deportation of violators.
“Those not working under the sponsorship of their company should be deported
according to the law, even if they were born in this country, but
nonetheless, local authorities and the Ministry of Labor should make
exceptions in individual cases."
Deputy Labor Minister Mefrej Al Haqabani said in a statement that the
ministry was and is still carrying out its routine inspections of
establishments to make sure they abide by work regulations and its
complimentary resolutions. He added that ministry's inspectors carry their
official ID cards which they are required to show during inspection visits
and calls on all establishments to rectify their work status to avoid
punishment.

How to buy Olive Oil
Extra-virgin and virgin olive oil’s healthful properties come from rich levels of monounsaturated fat, which promote "good" cholesterol, as well as abundant polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent cardiovascular disease and lower blood pressure. But when confronted with dozens of olive oils at the grocery store, labeled with terms like "cold-pressed" and "unfiltered" on their labels—and priced from lower to higher range, what’s an individual shopper to do?
Here’s what to look for when you shop for olive oil.
1. "Extra-virgin" and "virgin" olive oils are processed by crushing olives into a mash, which is pressed to extract the oil (this is called the first press) without the use of heat (called cold pressing). Extra-virgin oils are of higher quality, as the olives used to make them are processed within 24 hours of picking—the longer olives go between picking and processing, the higher their free fatty acid content (extra-virgin olive oil can have up to 0.8 percent, virgin oils about 2 percent). Extra-virgin oils also have more polyphenols than virgin oils.
2. Oils can be "filtered"—or not. Unfiltered oils have tiny particles of olive flesh in them, which reduces shelf life, and may appear cloudy if those particles haven’t settled at the bottom of the bottle.
3. "Pure" olive oil or simply olive oil are below extra-virgin and virgin standards and are heavily processed to remove off flavors and aromas. Though the oil still is a source of monounsaturated fat, its been stripped of healthful polyphenols.
4. "Light," "lite" and "extra-light" are purely marketing terms used on highly refined oils that refer to mild flavor and/or color, not reduced calorie content.
5. "Product of Italy" means the oil was processed in Italy, not necessarily that the olives were grown there. You can find oils that use solely Italian olives—or olives from Greece or California. Often made from olives from single estates or particular growing regions, these high-quality artisan oils have more distinct flavors—and are more expensive. When seeking out these oils, look for seals and designations as helpful indications of quality. Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (DOP) in Italy, Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in France and Denomination of Origin (DOP) throughout the European Union (EU) identify products produced, processed and prepared in regions known for expertise in that particular product. The California Olive Oil Council (COOC) and International Olive Council (IOC) certify and give their mark to quality extra-virgin olives oils, from California and the EU respectively, based on taste and quality.
6. Light exposure causes the oil to become rancid and lose its healthful properties—buy extra-virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles and metal cans and store it in a cool, dark place.
7. Bottling and/or expiration dates provide guidance on how long the oil will keep.
8. If you don’t use extra-virgin olive oil regularly, buy small bottles—polyphenols and flavor can diminish as the oil is exposed to air.
9. The color of the oil doesn’t indicate its quality—rather the variety and ripeness of olives used to make it.
10. You might have heard that you can’t cook with extra-virgin olive oil because it breaks down when heated, creating harmful substances and destroying its beneficial properties. But all oils break down when they are heated to their smoke point or reheated repeatedly. However, an oil’s smoke point is really a temperature range (olive oil’s is between 365-420°F), not an absolute number because many factors affect the chemical properties of oil. You can safely and healthfully cook with any oil by not heating it until it’s smoking—to get your oil hot enough to cook with, just heat it until it shimmers.
{Islamabadianz} ALLAH'S COMMAND - Make No Distinction between ALLAH'S Messengers
Assalam - O - Alaikum,
ALLAH'S COMMAND- Make No Distinction between ALLAH'S Messengers
[ALLAH'S Quran - 4:152] "And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them-- Allah will grant them their rewards; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
PROPHET OF ISLAM'S COMMAND
"Don't give superiority to any prophet amongst Allah's Prophets"
[Sunan ibn Majah, Book of Asceticism, Number 4274] "Whoever says that I am better than Jonah son of Mata has told a lie."
[Bukhari, Book 5, Number 627] "No servant should say that I am better than Jonah son of Mata."
[Bukhari, Book #55, Hadith #626] "Narrated Abu Huraira: Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So, he said, "No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!" Hearing him, an Ansari man got up and slapped him on the face and said, "You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority overall human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!" The Jew went to the Prophet and said, "O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what right does so-and-so have to slap me?" The Prophet asked the other, "Why have you slapped". He told him the whole story. The Prophet became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, "Don't give superiority to any prophet amongst Allah's Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses holding Allah's Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody who is better than Yunus bin Matta."

{Islamabadianz} 5 Steps to Providing Good Constructive Criticism
As soon as you hire someone you’ll need to start providing constructive criticism. Whether you do it in a formal manner (performance evaluations), or you do it on-the-fly at a project-by-project level, doesn’t really matter; constructive criticism is part of the game.
Constructive criticism is important; employees need to understand where they’ve gone wrong, and how they can improve. It’s not about treating people like crap, or being negative…it’s about raising the bar, matching your expectations and helping people improve.
How can you do it well?
Here are 5 steps:
- Plan before you do it. Make sure you know what you want to say, and why. Have a clear path through the discussion. Leave room for questions and dialogue. Keep the conversation open and flexible, but make sure you plan to get your key points across.
- Build the person up. Before you get to the criticism itself, focus on positives. Highlight some of the good work the person has done recently, goals that were met or surpassed. Emphasize positive, solid qualities that the person brings to the table. This isn’t about over-inflating egos or setting a person up for a fall; it’s about making sure the person understands they are valued and important, even if the next thing you’ll be doing is pointing out some problems.
- Provide clear criticism. Now it’s time to bring your concerns to the table. Do it as concisely as possible. And as clearly as possible. Don’t waffle around. Get to the point. Your approach will differ depending on the person you’re speaking to; some would rather you spit it out, others require a slightly more delicate approach. Still, it’s best to make sure your criticisms are as clear as you can possibly make them. Otherwise it makes it difficult to set a clear path towards improvement.
- Build the person up again. Focus on solutions. Focus on re-emphasizing the positive, while keeping an eye on what needs to be done to improve. Open it up for discussion…“What do you think of my assessment?” Or “What do you think of your recent performance?”The goal at the end of a session like this is to leave the employee understanding the problems, and having a path towards resolving them, without feeling like crap.
- Follow up. This exercise should never be undertaken without follow up. It may be another meeting scheduled with the employee. It may be an impromptu session, where you review the progress made. If the person knows there’s follow up, they’re going to feel more confident that the criticism isn’t hanging over they’re heads forever. It’s not a permanent dark cloud. Follow up can erase constructive criticism, if the person has improved and met goals. Always follow up. Even if it’s a quick compliment on a job well-done and not a formal second review. Follow up.
Giving constructive criticism is part of being a boss. You need to evaluate employees and measure their success.
When providing constructive criticism you want to make sure you get the message across and set goals, without demoralizing or devaluing the person

Hadith: Umra in Ramadan is equal to Hajj
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
asked an Ansari woman (Ibn 'Abbas named her but Ata forgot her name), 'What
prevented you from performing Hajj with us?' She replied, 'We have a camel
and the father of so-and-so and his son (i.e. her husband and her son) rode
it and left one camel for us to use for irrigation.' He said (to her),
'Perform 'Umra when Ramadan comes, for 'Umra in Ramadan is equal to Hajj
