"Hole in the Standard Islamic Narrative" Day
On June 8, 2020, when Mohammed Hijab asked in a YouTube interview with Dr Yasir Qadhi (one of the leading authorities on the Qur'an in the English speaking world), to tell him which of the 30 official Qira'at Qur'ans was the one which was given to Muhammad in the 7th century?
While much of the academic world knew of this problem, no one of any note from within Islam had ever admitted publicly that there were 30 different Qur'ans, nor that the differences were in the tens of thousands of variant letters and differing words.
By admitting this problem in such a public forum, hundreds of Muslims have subsequently left Islam, and have blamed Dr Qadhi for their apostasy.
This interview did so much damage to the integrity of the Qur'an, destroying any notion that the Qur'an has been perfectly preserved eternally, that we have decided every year to commemorate this day, June 8, as the "Hole in the Standard Islamic Narrative" day, and plan to remind the world of it each year as an annual celebration.
So, enjoy this interview between Al Fadi and Dr Jay as they help explain exactly what happened that fateful day, two years ago

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)
Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
Pikat (art advice and critiques)
Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)
Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
Medibang (free, IPAD ONLY)
NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Breast Cancer Laparoscopy: A Minimally Invasive Approach to the Treatment
Breast cancer remains a common concern for women worldwide, and timely diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for managing the condition. While traditional open surgery has long been the normal approach, advancements in technology have opened doors for minimally invasive options like breast cancer laparoscopy.
Here we explain this innovative technique, explaining its principles, applications, and potential advantages.
What is Breast Cancer Laparoscopy?
Imagine surgery conducted through tiny cuts instead of a large cut. That's the essence of laparoscopy or also known as keyhole surgery. In breast cancer laparoscopy, a specialized surgeon utilizes a slender instrument called a Laparoscope. With a camera and light source, the laparoscope is inserted through a small cut near the belly button, which shows a magnified view of the internal breast tissue on a monitor. Using additional cuts for surgical instruments, the surgeon can then perform various procedures with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
When is Breast Cancer Laparoscopy Used?
A laparoscope is a multipurpose tool for tackling different stages and types of breast cancer. It's commonly used for:
Lumpectomy: Removing the cancerous tumor while protecting surrounding healthy breast tissue.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy: Examining specific lymph nodes for cancer spread.
Mastectomy: Removing the entire breast in certain cases.
Diagnostic procedures: Biopsies or visual assessments to confirm cancer presence or size.
Who Can Benefit from a Breast Cancer Laparoscopy?
The suitability of laparoscopy depends on individual factors like tumor size, location, and overall health. Consulting a qualified breast cancer surgeon like Dr. Mohamed Ismail, known for his expertise at the Moulana Hospital, one of the best breast cancer surgery centres in Kerala, is crucial to determining if this approach aligns with your specific needs and medical history.
While advancements in minimally invasive surgery like laparoscopy are changing breast cancer treatment, it's crucial to remember that this technique might not be suitable for every case. Open communication with your healthcare team, including renowned specialists like Dr. Ismail, is important to explore all available options and make informed decisions for your well-being.
