Mobile Radiations are dangerous !!!


 

The speculative fears of mobile phones being a danger to health in the long run, seem to be coming true. A latest government study talks about the harmful effects of not just using mobile phones but also the radiation from mobile phone towers.


A Times of India report states that -
Radiation from mobile phones and towers poses serious health risks, including loss of memory, lack of concentration, disturbance in the digestive system and sleep disturbances, according to an inter-ministerial committee formed by the ministry of communications and information technology to study the hazards posed by mobile phones.


One India also reported that the damages may not be lethal for humans, but they worse for birds and insects as well. The committee has attributed the radiation effects to the disappearance of butterflies, bees, insects and sparrows.

The government report also says that  mobile towers should not be installed near high density residential areas, schools, playgrounds and hospitals. "The localized SAR value as per the Indian guidelines standard is 2 watt per kg, averaged over a six minute period and using a 10 gram average mass. With higher SAR values of mobile handsets the public could potentially receive much higher radiofrequency exposure. We have recommended that SAR levels to be lowered down to 1.6 watt/kg, as prescribed by the Federal Communication Commission of US," said a member.

The eight-member committee, which included representatives from the health ministry, department of biotechnology and member secretary, DoT, has recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard levels of specific absorption rate (SAR) - a measure of the amount of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone -- should be barred.

Member scientist, ICMR R S Sharma said that compared to Europeans, Indian cellphone users are more at risk for adverse affect of radiation due the country's hot tropical climate, low body mass index, and low fat content. "We have recommended amendment in the Indian Telegraph Act 1885 and rules so that only mobile handsets satisfying radiation standards should be permitted in the country," he said.

In another report, citizens are scared of the radiation from mobile tower in Andheri.
In the past five years, more than 15 housewives living in Sher-e-Punjab colony in Andheri (East) have suffered from various forms of cancer. Although there is no proof of a direct link, residents are drawing parallels between the appearance of the first cancer case and the installation of the first mobile phone tower in the society nearly seven years ago.
Based on a Hindustan Times report.

Neha Kumar, who has been studying the biological effects of mobile phone towers, said, All these women dont have any family history of cancer. Plus, all of them are within a certain radius of those mobile towers. All this is not a coincidence.

So how do we minimise the damage in view of such grave consequences.
The report adds -  
While talking on mobile, keep calls short or send a text message (SMS). This advice should be especially relevant keeping in mind the children, adolescents and pregnant women said the report.  The advice should be printed in the user manual by handset manufacturers. 
Whenever possible, use cellphone when the signal quality is good. People having active medical implants should keep their cellphone at least 30 cm away from the implant said the report.

Many a times we find ourselves complaining of bad network in certain areas. Mobile companies raise towers at every nook and corner to beat each other at network coverage. Are we compromising our health for better mobile connections?


Remember in your DUA's
Jazakallah khair,

Are You Finally Ready For A Fresh Start



“I can’t stop thinking about him.”

“I want to move on but he is in my mind night and day.”

“Maybe he is the one and I should wait until he changes his mind.”

“I hate him.”

“I love him.”

Who of us doesn’t relate to this line of thinking? Why is it so excruciating to move on after a relationship ends? Often there is no immediately apparent rationale for the ending of a relationship but even if there was, the need to detach from a former love and to move on with your life is inescapable.

Here are the Five Powerful Keys you need to get yourself back into the driver’s seat. Good Luck! I know you can do this!!

Key #1 Face The Facts

Ok, this is no fun, but facing the fact that you are hooked on this guy is the first and most essential step. Yes, you feel foolish. No, you don’t want to give up on him. But how are you feeling? Empowered? Strong? Probably not. Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I do love him. He doesn’t want to be with me right now. This really hurts and I hate it! I want to learn to let him go. I want to think about what I want to think about and not about him. I’m worth it.” If you tell yourself these facts (you can use mine if you can’t think of your own) every day for a week, you will empower yourself for the next steps.

Key #2 Embrace Your Self

That was then and this is now. Face it, you aren’t the only girl to have experienced this heart ache. Be gentle with yourself. You are doing the best you can. As you look back to the beginnings of this relationship, let yourself remember how good it felt. Embracing the you that fell for him rather than criticizing yourself for what you perceive as an error in judgment will build your sense of self esteem and equip you for the next step.

Key #3 The Him or Better Box

Now is when this gets fun. Each thought that you think about him has emotional energy attached to it. Some is positive, some is negative. The energy used to think these thoughts uses creative energy you could be investing in other parts of your life….your art, your career, your friendships, etc.

There is a way to reclaim and reassign this energy and your imagination is the gateway. We are going to create an imaginary “Him or Better Box”. It is best to name the box specifically, so use the name of your Ex instead of Him. Close your eyes and imagine a box about the size of a recipe file. It may show up in color, if not, make it any color you please. Allow your imagination to decorate it with any ribbons, jewels or symbols that might appear. If yours is a plain white box…that is ok, too. There is no right or wrong. Your goal is to ‘capture’ the thoughts about him and to place them in the box.

The reason we call it a “Him or Better Box” is so that if he does come back, you are banking all of this energy toward reconnecting with him then. Afterall, he is not in your life right now anyway so why waste time and energy thinking about him now. The ‘or Better’ just says to the Universe and to you that you are not going to waste your life for one person.

Key #4 Capturing Those Pesky Thoughts.

Learning to capture and control your thoughts serves a dual purpose. One, you have highly tangible evidence that you can direct your own thinking. Two, you immediately reclaim the energy for your own life and are free to assign it to where you want it to go. It may seem daunting to control your thoughts about him…believe me I have been there! That is why it is good to start slow and practice. The moment you are aware that you are thinking about him, stop, acknowledge the thought for a moment, then in your minds eye, place a bubble around it and put it into your box.

At first, you may only get three thoughts a day into the box but hang in there. This stuff really works. Remember…it is a Him or Better Box…it begins to feel really good to bank these thoughts for what’s ahead and you are prepared whether he comes back or not! If this is difficult for you to imagine, get a real box and some small pieces of paper. Name your box and then write out the thought you are having and place it in the box. Either way, this technique is guaranteed.

The first week you will be amazed at how many thoughts go into the box. By the third week, you will notice a difference in the frequency of the thoughts and also by the change in your mood and perspective. You will be feeling much better at this point and ready for the final step.

Key#5 Writing the New Script

Now you are feeling stronger and more in control. You are more balanced emotionally and have some degree of objectivity. Now, get a piece of paper and write out five to ten things about your previous relationship that were not working for you on the left side of the paper, the more ideas you can come up with, the better. For example:

He befooled me, he wastn as loving and caring as he used to pose.

He kept taking out mistakes in me. He doesn’t respect me.

He dint accept me the way I am.

He told everybody that I am the worse girl of this world.

On the right side of the paper, create a list of the attributes of your ideal partner based on what it was about the ghost lover that disappointed you. For Example:

He befooled me, he wastn as loving and caring as he used to pose becomes He is so loving and caring.

He kept taking out mistakes in me and doesn’t respect me becomes He avoids my mistakes for the sake of our love. He respects me a lot.

He dint accept me the way I am becomes He Loves me the way I am.

He told everybody that I am the worse girl of this world becomes He tells the whole world that his love is the best girl of this world.

You get the idea. Now, go back over the list and cross out each of the items on the left with gusto. By time you follow through with the fifth key, you are well on your way to leaving your former love behind. Yes, you will still think of him occasionally and yes it will still hurt. However, reviewing these lists will confirm to you the benefit of moving on. As your thoughts about him get less and less frequent you will not only feel better, you will be amazed at how much energy you have to invest in the rest of your life. You will get more done and experience more joy than you have in months. No one knows what is best for you than you do. Learning to hear from and trust your own intuition will light the way for your future.

Last but not the least, Everything is destiny, you get someone and things don’t work, its all written over there by the Almighty, So there is nothing we can do about it, If you honestly tried hard to make any relationship work and still it dint work, its not the mistake of anyone. Whatever Almighty does, HE does for our best. Lots of beautiful things are coming in future. Always be positive.

Quick, Easy & Rewarding Good Deeds for all of us to do Everyday!

Earn a thousand good deeds in Minutes


Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanah (rewards) a day?" Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?" Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Glorify Allaah a hundred times by just saying "Subhaanallaah" and a Good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away." (Muslim 4:2073)

A Date Palm planted in Paradise for the one who Recites this

Forgiveness for Sins Even Though they are like the Foam of the Sea: 


Narrated Abu Huraira: Allaah's Apostle said, "Whoever says, 'Subhaan Allaahi Wa bihamdihi, {Allaah is free from imperfection and His is the praise}. One hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. (Bukhari, Book #75, Hadith #414)

("None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)",}

HOW MUCH VITAMIN " D " DO YOU NEED?



HOW MUCH VITAMIN D DO YOU NEED?


Vitamin D is a vitamin (a substance the body requires in small doses for proper 
nutrition and function) that is fat-soluble, meaning that it is dissolved and 
stored in the fat of your body. Vitamin D maintains proper levels of calcium and 
phosphorus in the blood and together with calcium builds strong bones. The 
November 9, 2005, issue of JAMA contains an article about sufficient levels of 
vitamin D for healthy bones.
HOW MUCH VITAMIN D DO YOU NEED?
SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE
Sun exposure for 10 to 15 minutes at least twice a week usually provides 
adequate amounts of vitamin D. Certain conditions such as cloud cover, northern 
climates, pollution, and the winter months may not provide adequate sunlight 
exposure. Excess sun exposure causes skin cancer, so you should limit exposure 
to sunlight, not use tanning beds, and wear protective clothing and a sunscreen 
with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 when outdoors for longer than 
10 to 15 minutes twice a week. Infants should be kept out of direct sunlight all 
together.
VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
When vitamin D levels are low, bones become weak and brittle. In children, 
vitamin D deficiency causes a disease called rickets, which results in poorly 
developed weak bones, delayed growth, immune deficiencies, and, when severe, 
seizures. In adults, vitamin D deficiency causes a disease called osteomalacia, 
which results in weak bones, fractures, bone pain, and weakness. Low levels of 
vitamin D may be a factor in osteoporosis (thin bones).
WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY?
* Infants who are exclusively breast-fed or receiving less than about 2 cups a 
day of vitamin D fortified formula or milk
* People who have darker-pigmented skin
* People with very limited sunlight exposure
* People with fat malabsorption diseases, such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, 
celiac disease, and surgical resection of the bowel
* People who have liver or kidney disease or enzyme deficiencies
* People in the northern hemisphere during winter
HOW MUCH VITAMIN D DO YOU NEED?
For infants to adults aged 50 years, the daily adequate intake is 200 
international units (IU) of vitamin D. For adults aged 51 to 70 years, 400 IU is 
required, and for those older than 70 years, 600 IU is recommended. Discuss with 
your doctor the proper vitamin D intake and sun exposure for you and whether you 
should take a supplement, especially if you are at risk of developing a 
deficiency. Too much vitamin D can occur from taking excess vitamin D 
supplements and can cause serious problems, such as nausea, vomiting, and 
weakness or even confusion and heart rhythm abnormalities.

Never judge a book by its cover!



Never judge a book by its cover!

 

 ( A Letter from A young girl in London)


Being a young 27 year old, in London, of course, I like to 'enjoy' my weekend and that involves clubbing, cinema, dining out and meeting new people. I also do drink alcohol (something of course, I now understand the religion of Islam prohibits very strictly) and I like partying. At this age of my life, every young girl and guy, want to just enjoy life and as the saying goes, 'Live Life To The Max'.

 

Last year, on Saturday 12th of December 2009, I was out clubbing in Central Londonwith my colleagues. I was dressed in a very tight dress that exposed my body to the other sex. Nothing I am now totally proud of, but thats how I did dress that night. It was Saturday, Xmas was a few weeks away, the Christmas spirit and youth was running through me; almost uncontrollable due to the prime of my youth.

 

 I met a guy whilst partying, he seemed nice. We danced through the night till 2am. He seemed very decent , started to drink quite a bit and was ofcourse trying to get close to me. He managed to lure me through the back of the club, hence exiting via the lane through the Emergency exit. We did start to kiss and being a guy, he wanted to go further. Conveniently, he had his car in lane. He lured me into the back of the car and he wanted to go further. Although, him being under the influence of alchohol, I did know my limits and refused him to go any further.

 

  He would not listen and I became slightly scared, he eventually started using his strong framework to hold me down. My heart was pumping, I begged him to let me go but he was out of control due. I knew my limits, having a 1 night stand was certainly a standard I would never drop to. I screamed for help but no one came. I was crying so much and was emotionally very uspet as you can imagine. I managed to smash the back window of the car using my leg and screamed for help. This 'animal' managed to take my dress off from the top and was was trying his best to basically 'rape' me. That time in the car  I wont ever forget. I was crying and begging for him to leave me. That time of struggle has stained and tarnished my memories for life.

 

 And then, suddenly, an 'Angel' came to save me. A man with a beard came over, early 30's, with his strong hands pulled the guy out of the car ,threw him to the ground and kicked him a few times. The guy was so taken back , he fled and ran away. I was crying and half naked.

 

 The man lowerd his gaze and took off his jacket. It was very cold and I put on his jacket. Around his neck was his taxi ID. I was at relief. He gave me a hankey and asked if I was ok. I looked at him and thanked him ever so much for saving my life, my respect and my dignity. He asked me if I wanted to call the Police as I was so shaken and upset. I thankfully did not get raped, I refused his offer  and just wanted to go home. He asked again, I said no, and then I asked him if he would take me home.  I was crying so much.

 

 He said ,"Ofcourse madam, more than welcome", with such a soft tender voice.

As I approached his private hire taxi car, he refused to let me sit at the front of his taxi, and said ,

 "Madam, would you mind if you sat at the back?". I had no problems with that. I was crying and he said,:  "Madam, you should not be out alone at this time of the night and you should stick with your friends. Further, you should not be so naive and just trust anyone you meet in a club". He was absolutely right.

 

 Throughout the  long journey to my home, he hardly looked in the front mirror when talking to me and he spoke in a very soft tone. He had a long beard and had the beads hanging on his mirror. I recognised the beads as a Muslim colleague at work also had the beads on her car. I said to him, " You are a  Muslim arent you?" and he replied  "I sure am madam, and proud to be. I am born a Muslim and will die a Muslim"

 He then said to me, "Do you want peace?"

 I was confused and replied, " What do you mean?"

 He then turned up his  CD player volume up and it was definetly not music ! He said , "This is the Quraan,May I ask you to listen to it for 5 minutes with full devotion please".

 I listened carefully.

 It was a very different sound to the type of sounds I listen to and I did listen very carefully. And you know what? He was right, it was very peaceful, soothing and very relaxing. I enjoyed it ever so much,it was amazingly very peaceful to listen to and I was at ease.

 

 He then asked , " How do you feel madam?"

 I said ." Fantastic.. I really like that, it is indeed  very peaceful"

He responded , " Madam, these are the words of the Quraan. I am a Muslim. I have been taught by Islam to respect women, to lower my gaze and to respect everyone , no matter what religion they come from. You were lucky I heard you scream. I was at the corner of the lane, my tyre had burst. I now know why Allah made my tyre puncture and it was with His power that he allowed for me to save you, through the choice of  Allah.. You must accept this madam, you can thank me as much as you want, but I would suggest you say thanks to my Allah, for it was his choice for my tyre to puncture at that road and at that time"

 

I thought about what he said, he said his words very softly to me but equally, with so much devotion. He was a very nice man, a man who was my angel.

 

 We came to my house, I invited him to come in for a coffee and he point blank refused. I went in, changed and came back to give him his jacket back. I then thanked him again, and asked ." How much Do I owe you?"

 

 His reply hit me for 6, as he responded, " Madam, you have been through a very rough ordeal. Do you expect me to charge you? Just go home, relax and take it easy, I can imagine you will never forget this guy for years to come as to how he treated you and what could have happened. But I do ask you one thing please?"

 I was so taken back and replied, " Please, go on"

 He responded , " If you do tell anyone what happened, can you please tell everyone, that it was Muslim who came to help you? "

 

 I said ,"Of course I will, this is the least I can do ". As soon as I said that, he responded, " Madam, I have to go now, I have a long drive ahead, I wish you all the best, please take this CD of the Quraan and do think about Islam, what Islam has to offer and how it can make you a better person"

 

 I took the CD , thanked him with so much devotion and he left. I had tears from my eyes, this dude was a beautiful person.. And He Was A Muslim

 

 A year on, I still have his CD and I do listen to it. I love listening to the Quraan, I do put it on at 5pm when I am stuck in London traffic ! I have explored Islam a lot more and I am also a member of The Islamic Email Circle where I receive the hadith on Monday and the Islamic article on Friday.

 

 I would just like to say to all you Muslims out there:  Muslims are amazing people, they have a heart of Gold, they have beautiful principles, manners and they are very caring people. This dude taxi driver, was a beautiful person who I wont ever forget. His approach and manners has also changed my life. I can not understand why people are so scared of Muslim men with beards, they are the most beautiful and caring people in the world. Indeed they are Angels.

 

I am still exploring Islam and have learnt a lot. Maybe one day, I will revert to Islam, so I need to ask you to make 'Dua' for me.  But more importantly, I ask you to make 'Dua' for that taxi driver who saved my respect and life. I am sure your Allah will give him so much 'reward' . Dont You Agree?...

 

Thank you for taking time to read this

 

Kind regards

Why PORK is forbidden in Islam...??

PORK FORBIDDEN

Question:

Why is the eating of pork forbidden in Islam?

Answer:

The fact that consumption of pork is prohibited in Islam is well known. The
following points explain various aspects of this prohibition:


1. Pork prohibited in Qur'an

The Qur'an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places.
It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.

"Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that
on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah." [Al-Qur'an 5:3]

The above verses of the Holy Qur'an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why
pork is forbidden.


2. Pork prohibited in the Bible

The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible
prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus

"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth
not the cud; he is unclean to you".

"Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are
unclean to you."[Leviticus 11:7-8]

Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is
unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead
carcass."
[Deuteronomy 14:8]

A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 65
verse 2-5.


3. Consumption of pork causes several diseases

The other non-Muslims and atheists will agree only if convinced through reason,
logic and science. Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy different types
of diseases. A person can have various helminthes like roundworm, pinworm,
hookworm, etc. One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which is in lay man's
terminology called tapeworm. It harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its
ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the
body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it
can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it
enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs
of the body.

Another dangerous helminthes is Trichura Tichurasis. A common misconception
about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. In a research project
undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering
from Trichura Tichurasis, twenty two had cooked the pork very well. This
indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking
temperature.


4. Pork has fat building material

Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This
fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause hypertension and heart attack.
It is not surprising that over 50% of Americans suffer from hypertension.


5. Pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth

The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck,
faeces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced. In
the villages they don't have modern toilets and the villagers excrete in the
open air. Very often excreta is cleared by pigs.

Some may argue that in advanced countries like Australia, pigs are bred in very
clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are
kept together in sties. No matter how hard you try to keep them clean they are
filthy by nature. They eat and enjoy their own as well as their neighbour's
excreta.


6. Pig is the most shameless animal

The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only
animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most
people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of
wives; i.e. many say "you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife."
If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs. We Indians look upon America to be
very advanced and sophisticated. Whatever they do, we follow after a few years.
According to an article in Island magazine, this practice of swapping wives has
become common in the affluent circles of Bombay.

6 ways to look and feel younger!


6 ways to look and feel younger!

Click here to join nidokidos

Those who think that women are most petrified of gaining weight, here's some news! Her deepest fears are age related! Though ageing is inevitable, who says one cannot counter it. We help you slow the ageing process with these simple tips:

Save your skin
As you age, the first most obvious sign is the appearance of wrinkles. With age and improper beauty regime, our skin gets dry and rough which leads to wrinkles. One of the noticeable signs of ageing is the visibility of thin lines around our eyes, which are called crow's feet.

To add to the misery, there can be sun damage in the form of discolouration. So follow the 3-step beauty routine of scrubbing, toning, moisturizing and later slathering on plenty of sunscreen. And if wrinkles are bothering you a bit too much, botox isn't a bad option either. Olive oil also works wonders in banishing wrinkles.

Check your weight and exercise
To beat age related weight gain, experts say one must aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. The form could be anything - yoga, aerobics, swimming, pilates, etc. Leena Mogre, fitness expert, says, "As you cross 30, a good mix of exercise is important. If you feel that your gut is expanding and your chest is softening, it's probably because you're not lifting weights."

The key to reaping the benefits of physical activity is sticking with it, so choose any exercise you enjoy. Do not forget facial exercises to firm your facial muscles.

Plan a plant based diet
Your diet should have a good mix of green vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. "You should try to choose foods that represent a rainbow of colours, such as spinach, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, strawberries, blueberry and grapes. Your food plate should have 75 per cent plant based food and rest should be lower fat sources of protein such as eggs, fish or meat. This diet helps you fight evils of ageing such as osteoporosis, diabetes and heart disease," says dietician Aishwarya Rajan.

Stress on calcium
Getting enough calcium as well as vitamin D help prevent osteoporosis which is the leading cause of bone fractures in women. Especially if you have crossed the age of 50, a daily dose of 1200 mg of calcium is necessary. Good sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products, calcium-fortified soymilk, orange juice, and fish with edible bones (like canned salmon or sardines). You can talk to your doctor to know if you need additional supplements.

Sleep enough 

Sleep is vital to the proper functioning of our body. While some of us may sleep for barely 5-6 hours at night, others maybe sound asleep for as much as 9-10 hours. But the average amount of sleep required is 7-8 hours. Instead of battling sleep in the daytime, take short power naps of 10-15 minutes as they too will make you feel rested.
