  • Not Always Finding The Truth Or Facts In American History  By : Gianni Truvianni
    I am American by birth as I was born in the city of New York which is situated in a state which bears the same name. This fact that I am American neither causes me pride nor embarrassment as it was not my doing therefore it is neither to my credit nor fault for that matter that I was born where I was. To many of my fellow Americans this line of thought may make me “unpatriotic” and if this be the case I do not deny them this right. However the subject of patriotism is not why I opted to write this article but the subject of American history is.
  • The Nobel Prize  By : Gianni Truvianni
    Once again the time of year is upon us when a committee of people decides whom will be awarded the Nobel prize in the five different categories which are literature, chemistry, medicine, physics and peace. These awards as most of us know are given out in Scandinavia as it was their where a man whose name was Alfred Bernhard Nobel (1833-96) made a fortune from his inventions which included dynamite (1867), gelignite (1876), and ballistite (1889), this being the precursor of cordite gunpowder. Of coarse the family business did not limit itself to expanding through the manufacturing of explosives as their Baku oilfields also contributed. It was through accumulated wealth from all these activities that Alfred Nobel become affluent enough to leave behind a large enough sum of money from which interest alone are capable of covering a cash reward which is constantly being increased to go along with the Nobel Prize.

  • Syed Dadu  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    Syed Dadu, or Pir Dadu was a gifted vakil in Sind. He was born in 879/1474. He was an efficient scholar of Arabic and Persian and acquired high command in Indian languages. His lineage runs as Syed Daud bin Yasir bin Khair al-Din bin Mahr al-Din bin Gul Muhammad bin Hashim bin Moinuddin bin Aminuddin bin Buraqanuddin bin Shamsul wa Shak bin Quwwamuddin bin Syed Ali bin Muhammad bin Hussain bin Daud bin Zaid bin Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Hamza bin Yousuf bin Hasan bin Sakhaudullah bin Abul Hasan bin Abdullah bin Ali Jawad bin Imam Zayn al-Abidin.
  • Chand Bibi  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    Lack of material does not enable to give a detailed account of the Ismaili influence after the death of Shah Tahir Hussain Dakkani on 956/1549 in Ahmadnagar, India. We do not have explicit details, whether his descendants continued the Ismaili mission in the cloak of Shi'ism or not. There are however certain strong indications that a lady ruler, named Chand Bibi was secretly an Ismaili, but her faith is shrouded in her political activities.
  • Bai Budhai  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    Syed Ruknuddin, the son of Pir Hasan Kabiruddin had a daughter, called Bibi Jeval or Bibi Jivan Khatoon. She married to Pir Hasan Kabiruddin and had five sons and a daughter, called Bai Budhai. The biography of Bai Budhai is not found in early or later sources. We have very brief scrap of the traditions. She is referred simply as the daughter of Pir Hasan Kabiruddin or the sister of Syed Imam Shah (d. 926/1520) and nothing else. Syed Imam Shah was the younger son of Pir Hasan Kabiruddin through Bibi Hurmat Khatoon, and the meager detail of Bai Budhai makes little concern connected with him. She is brought on historical record after the death of Pir Hasan Kabiruddin in 853/1449. Whatever is known about her is derived from her dialogues with Syed Imam Shah in the treatise comprised of 71 ginans, entitled Syed Imam Shah tatha Bai Budhai'no Samvad, in which it infers that she complained to Syed Imam Shah their parents died during their small ages (47:5). The age of Syed Imam Shah was about 19 years during the death of his father in 853/1449. It suggests that Bai Budhai's age would have been 16 to 17 years, and as such she was born most possibly in 835/1432 or 836/1433. Summing up the fragments of the ginans, it appears that the name Budhai was her pen name. It is said that her marriage took place with a rich cotton merchant of Syed family. She led a prosperous life, but did not adhere to the path of her forefathers.
  • Battle of Badr  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    "The first battle fought between the Muslims and the Meccans about 80 miles from Medina was that of Badr, lying on the Arabian Peninsula near the Read Sea coast. The date given for the battle is 17th, 19th or 21st Ramzan, 2 A.H./March 13, 15 or 17, 624 A.D. Badr is mentioned explicitly once in the Koran (3:123), but there are allusions to it in at least 32 other verses.

    The Prophet had hardly breathed a sigh of relief in Medina when he was confronted with the series of military expeditions against the fronts of the heathen Meccans. Attack was apprehended every moment from without and treachery from within. Small detachments of the Qoraish of Mecca used to go out on marauding expeditions and scour the country right up to the outskirts of Medina. Once, one such party lifted camels from the very pastures of the town.
  • Longmont Colorado  By : Roberto Bell

  • Arab  By : Dr. D.S. Merchant
    The word arab or arabah is probably derived from a Semitic root related to nomadism. In the Arabic language, the word arab (derived from i'rab), means those who speak clearly as contrast with ajam (those who speak indistinctly). In Koran, the word arab has never used for the country of Arabia, but characterized the residence of Ismael, the son of Abraham as an "uncultivated land." In the time of Ismael his place of residence had no name, therefore, it was given the name of an "uncultivated land." In the Old Testament, the word midbar is used for Ismael's home, meaning a desert or a barren land, which closely corresponds to the Koranic description.

  • Who Do You Read?  By : Bob Miller

  • Do Guardian Angels Exist?  By : Bob Miller
    On one hand, there are those that reject the claims of anything spiritual and suggest that there is no logical possibility of some divine body protecting and guarding individuals from harm, while the opposing side swear from personal experience and anecdotal evidence that there is without a doubt some third party protector who has intervened in their lives or altered their path dramatically.
