RABI'AH AL-ADAWIYYAH
Receiving that letter, the king Bazan felt astonished cause there were some people knew his habit even his negligance. Then he directly gave his fine to ismail. The incident made ismail believe the truth of his dream. Rabi'ah grew up in the neighbourhood of adiy clan. The clan was well known by it's pious character. But her father often took her to isolate themselves in a mosque, in the frontier of Basrah. He did it to protect his daughter from the bad influence of city life. Beside, he wanted to worship more intensivel. Because of the good neighbourhood and education, Rabi'ah the little girl was able to say the astonishing words to her family. she said that they had to patient poverty, being hungry in the world was lighter and better than being torture in hell because of eating the forbidden food.
The first disaster in rabi'ah's life was her father's death, followed by her mother's death not long after. The sorrow came when Rabi'ah adn her big sister were still kids. The long dry season in Basrah also force them to find any job. When Rabi'ah was walking alone in city, someone captured and kidnapped her. And then she was sold to become a humble slave. Her body was getting weaker and thinner. She had to do many hard works. But her spirit was never weak and broken. The repeatedly disaster made Rabi'ah got closer to Allah. She was able to forget about all her sufferings and misery. She had so many questions in her mind Why is the man's slavery exist in this wolrd? doesn't human have the same position as Allah' worshiper? what make somebody so special till he think that he deserved to enslave human ? why is human so heartless to rob and trample down the honour of Allah's creature ?
The Rabi'ah perseverance in worship finally opened up master's heart, by Allah's permit. One night the master heard Rabi'ah praying intentionly until he decided to liberate her
Rabi'ah did not know what to do to fulfill her basic need. She wanted to sing and play the flute in 'majelis zikir' as the mediator to to worship and thank God, ' as every thing in this world did tasbih and tahmid all the time. But she doubted to do the jo, so she asked the advice from some canonist. She also did the istikhoroh prayer, until she felt the stable heart to do the job.
From her job Rabi'ah got enough money just to fulfill her sober live. She wanted her life far from the luxuryof worldliness. Afterwards when she became a famous and educated woman in Basrah.
There were mony of her students and friends offered her many facilities, so that she could taste a little bit of world's 'sweetness'. But she refused it immediately. She kept on spending her life in sobriety. Rabi'ah was favored by Allah the clearness and the samrt brain. It was obvious when she was being a mentor. She did not sing and play the flute in majelis zikir where she had learned any more. Her sober house was visited by many people who wanted to learn islam. They came all the time, and many of them were not ordinary people. They were Hasan Al-basri, Sofyan ats-saury, Malik bin dinar, Abdul wahid bin zahid, and many more. The canonist in 'sufi' and 'fiqih'. The house of Rabi'ah changed it's function became the non formal schoo, the place to raise knowledge.
She had two specialities in representating the tuition. First, her fluent tongue, second, the clear meaning. Sometimes her word attached on brain. Sometimes they broke through the spirit of the listeners. Sofyan ats-saury often said that he got a great wisdom and advantage whenever he came to the 'majelis' of Rabi'ah. Hasan Al-basri admitted that Rabi'ah was the one who gave him the most motivation to increas his faith to Allah and to be more sincere in worshipping Him. There was one of her students who lived together with her. The student's name was abdah binti abi syawal. She learned tasawuf from Rabi'ah and she could tell the real life of Rabi'ah very clear. There was also another student, masma ' binti ashim and the best friend of Rabi'ah, Hayyunah
Rabi'ah finally could go through the way of ma'rifat. It was because of the prayer she offered up from her pious heart and only directed to Allah. Rabi'ah did zikrullah all the time and she was always accepted the distiny that Allah gave positively. All her chance and ability were always used to add the knowledge. Her common sense and heart worked together. The common sense accepted and filled, the heart and soul believe and relied. Let's pay attention to the wisdom prayer of Rabi'ah which reflexed her quality of 'ma'rifat' to Allah. ' I beg for Allah's protecttion from everything that makes me busy and neglect to worship Him and from every obtructions that evade my relationship with Him. 'I love you Allah, with two loves. Love because of the passion and love bacause you deserve to be loved".
Password Protect a USB Flash Disk / Portable Hard Drive
Here are two applications which could password protect your USB flash disk or portable hard drive with and without administrator rights.
USB flash disks and portable hard drives are already a part of our modern lives. Almost everyone has a USB flash disk and most people are thinking of buying a portable hard drive nowadays. With that, the question I often get about them is how do you password protect a USB flash disk or portable hard drive?
Why is It Important to Password Protect your USB Flash Disk or Portable Hard Disk?
You carry your USB flash drive or portable hard disk with you all the time. Most of us put sensitive information and files in there that can be used against us or that we simply don’t want others to see. If you lose the flash disk, you risk other people seeing or accessing your sensitive files.
How to Password Protect a USB Flash Disk or Portable Hard Disk?
The methods in password protection of flash disks or portable hard disks have long been an issue. There are many applications which can password protect flash disks. However, most of them require that the logged on user has administrator rights – or the capability to create, modify, delete, install, or run any file on the computer.
So what if a computer doesn’t have administration rights and the flash disk or portable hard drive has a password protection software/application in it? Some applications lock the files inside the USB – meaning it can’t be accessed. Some however, offer no protection at all. All the files are accessible.
I can recommend two applications which you can use.
1. Rohos Mini Drive
Rohos Mini Drive is an application which creates a hidden and encrypted partition in a USB flash disk. The good thing about Rohos Mini Drive is that you can access your files even without administrator rights/privileges. However, the size limit of the files that you can password protect is 495 MB only (although the software claims it can protect up to 1GB).
To setup your flash disk or portable hard drive just choose Setup USB Key

Then insert your USB flash disk and choose the flash disk’s drive letter, in our case its J:. Set the password as well.

Once it finishes making an encrypted partition in your hard drive, you can insert it in any computer (even without administrator rights) and you just need to run Rohos mini.exe and enter the password you have set.

A new drive letter would appear outside of the flash disk (like it was a different drive) and you can now access or put your files there.
Note: The download link of Rohos Mini Drive is already indicated above. If you want to protect more than 495 MB of data, I suggest that you purchase Rohos Disk Encryption which is also in their site.
2. TrueCrypt
TrueCrypt is also an application which can be used for protection of flash disks. To password protect flash disks or portable hard drives, just choose Extract.

You can then go to Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup

And from there you would be able to put TrueCrypt in your portable media and then protect your files.
Its main drawback however, is that the computer in which you would be inserting the flash disk or portable hard drive into should have administrator rights.
There you have it. I hope I have helped you in how to password protect a USB flash disk or portable hard drive.

The Caliph Omar entered Jerusalem mounted on a white camel, escorted by the magistrate of the city, the Greek Patriarch Sophronius. The Caliph asked to be taken immediately to the Temple Mount and there he knelt in prayer on the spot where his friend Mohammed had made his Night Journey. The Patriarch watched in horror: this, he thought, must be the Abomination of Desolation that the Prophet Daniel had foretold would enter the Temple; this must be Antichrist who would herald the Last Days. Next Omar asked to see the Christian shrines and, while he was in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the time for Muslim prayer came round. Courteously the Patriarch invited him to pray where he was, but Omar as courteously refused. If he knelt to pray in the church, he explained, the Muslims would want to commemorate the event by erecting a mosque there, and that would mean that they would have to demolish the Holy Sepulchre. Instead Omar went to pray at a little distance from the church, and, sure enough, directly opposite the Holy Sepulchre there is still a small mosque dedicated to the Caliph Omar.The other great mosque of Omar was erected on the Temple Mount to mark the Muslim conquest, together with the mosque al-Aqsa which commemorates Mohammed's Night Journey. For years, the Christians had used to the site of the ruined Jewish Temple as the city rubbish dump. The Caliph helped his Muslims to clear the garbage with his own hands and there Muslims raised their two shrines to establish Islam in the third most holy city in the Islamic world. [1]

Wonderful sights were to be seen. Some of our men (and this was more merciful) cut off the heads of their enemies; others shoot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into flames. Piles of heads, hands and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the Temple of Solomon, a place where religious services are normally chanted ... in the temple and the porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins.

A Jewish minority can survive the way other minorities in the Arab world survived. …it worked rather well under the Ottoman Empire, with its millet system. What they had then seems a lot more humane than what we have now. [6]

Spiders' Fishing Techniques
Some spiders hunt in even the most unexpected environments. For example, the hunting field of the water-spider Dolomedes is the surface of water. This spider is mostly to be found in shallow places such as marshes and ditches.The water-spider, which lacks good eyesight, spends most of its time by the side of the water spinning threads and spreading them over its surroundings. These serve two functions at the same time: they are a kind of warning to other spiders, setting the limits of its own territory, and they also form an escape route in the event of unexpected danger.
The spider's most frequently used hunting method is to put four of its legs on the water while the other four hold on to dry land. While doing this, it employs a most clever technique to avoid sinking. The spider covers those of its legs which will go into the water with a water-proof coating by passing them through its fangs. It then approaches the edge of the water. Pushing its body down with great care, it moves on to the surface of the water. It places its fangs and feelers under the water in such a way as not to disturb the surface. It waits for a living creature to approach, with its eyes looking around it and its legs feeling for vibrations in the water. To feed itself, the spider needs to find prey at least the size of the "Golyan" fish.
When the spider is hunting, it stays motionless until the fish comes within 1.5 centimeters of its jaws. Then it suddenly enters the water, catches the fish in its legs, and bites it with its venomous fangs. Then, in order to stop the fish, which is much bigger than it, from dragging it under the water, it immediately turns upside down. The venom quickly takes effect. It not only kills the prey, but also dissolves the prey's internal organs, turning them into a kind of soup and making them easy to digest. When the prey is dead, the spider drags it on to the shore and feeds. (Science and Technology Gorsel Science and Technology Encyclopedia, p. 494, 495)
At this point various questions spring to mind. How did the spider come by that wax which stops it sinking? How did it learn to coat its legs with it against the risk of sinking? How did the spider come by the wax's formula and how did it make it? The spider certainly did not bring about all of these things-each one of which bears the mark of intelligence-of its own volition. Like all other living creatures, this species of spider acts in such an intelligent way, is capable of making such a plan and putting it into practice by inspiration from God. In one of His verses, God states that He gives every creature its own provision:
There is no creature on the earth which is not dependent upon God for its provision. He knows where it lives and where it dies. They are all in a Clear Book. (Surah Hud: 6)
