October 2001

Born in Mecca, in western Arabia, Muhammad (ca. 570–632), last in the line of Judeo-Christian prophets, received his first revelation in 610. Muslims believe that the word of God was revealed to him by the archangel Gabriel in Arabic, who said, “Recite in the name of thy Lord …” (Sura 96). These revelations were subsequently collected and codified as the Qur’an (literally “recitation” in Arabic), the Muslim holy book. As the source of Muslim faith and practice, the Qur’an describes the relationship between an almighty and all-knowing God and his creations. The Qur’an also maintains that all individuals are responsible for their actions, for which they will be judged by God, and so it provides guidelines for proper behavior within the framework of a just and equitable society.

At this time, Mecca was a prosperous city whose wealth and influence were based on the caravan trade and on the Ka‘ba, a shrine and a place of pilgrimage housing the pagan deities then being worshipped by the Arabs. Muhammad’s message, heralding a new socio-religious order based on allegiance to one god—Allah—was unpopular among the leaders of Mecca, and they forced Muhammad and his followers to emigrate north to the oasis town Yathrib (Medina). This occurred in 622, the year of the hijra, or “emigration,” which marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. In Medina, Muhammad continued to attract followers and, within a few years, Mecca had also largely embraced Islam. Upon his return to Mecca, one of the Prophet’s first acts was to cleanse the Ka‘ba of its idols and rededicate the shrine to Allah.

Although Muhammad died in 632, his followers, led by a series of four caliphs (Arabic: khalifa, “successor”) known as the Rightly Guided, continued to spread the message of Islam. Under their command, the Arab armies carried the new faith and leadership from the Arabian Peninsula to the shores of the Mediterranean and to the eastern reaches of Iran. The Arabs conquered Syria, Palestine, and Egypt from the Byzantine empire, while Iraq and Iran, the heart of the Sasanian empire, succumbed to their forces. Here in these lands, Islam fostered the development of a religious, political, and cultural commonwealth and the creation of a global empire.

While the full formation of a distinctive Islamic artistic language took several centuries, the seeds were sown during the Prophet’s time. Because it is through writing that the Qur’an is transmitted, the Arabic script was first transformed and beautified in order that it might be worthy of divine revelation. Thus, calligraphy started to gain prominence, becoming essential also to Islamic ornament. In architecture, following the hijra, Muhammad’s house in Medina developed into a center for the Muslim community and became the prototype for the mosque, the Muslim sanctuary for God. The early structure, known as the hypostyle mosque, included a columned hall oriented toward Mecca and an adjacent courtyard surrounded by a colonnade. The call to prayer was given from a rooftop (later the minaret was developed for this purpose). Essential elements of the mosque were a minbar (pulpit) for the Friday sermon and a mihrab (prayer niche) set in the wall oriented toward Mecca.

Australia Open: Sindhu knocked out in quarterfinals

Sindhu, who has slipped to world number 17th following a series of early exits, was looking to make her fourth semifinal of the season but found it tough to tame USA's Beiwen Zhang.

SYDNEY: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu bowed out of the Australia Open after going down in straight games to USA’s world number 12 Beiwen Zhang in the women’s singles quarterfinals here on Friday.

Sindhu, who has slipped to world number 17th following a series of early exits, was looking to make her fourth semifinal of the season but found it tough to tame Zhang, losing 12–21 17–21 in 39 minutes in the USD 420,000 super 500 tournament.

In 10 past meetings, Sindhu had won six times against her opponent but she just couldn’t get going on Friday against the 33-year-old Chinese-born American Zhang, who showed better control to come up trumps.

Sindhu had beaten compatriots Ashmita Chaliha and Aakarshi Kashyap in the first two rounds but her loss to Zhang would come as a big disappointment as she heads to the World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark to be held from August 21 to 27.

The 2019 world champion, Sindhu has been going through a lean patch since her recovery from an injury, and has repeatedly made early exits in as many as seven of the 12 BWF World Tour events this year.

Early this year, Sindhu had parted ways with Korea’s Park Tae-Sang and then briefly worked with SAI coach Vidhi Chaudhary. She is currently training under new coach Muhammad Hafiz Hashim, the 2003 All England champion.

Among other Indians in fray, HS Prannoy will face top seed Anthony Ginting of Indonesia, while 2021 world championships silver medallist Kidambi Srikanth will take on compatriot Priyanshu Rajawat later in the day.

Pakistan is facing a major economic crisis triggered by a series of corrupt and failed governments, military coups, rising international debts, no major exports, and a major class divide. The country has reportedly doubled its debt roughly every five years over the last 25-year period. Debt-laden Pakistan's decision to curb trade deficit by restricting imports has been causing losses to its economy and rapidly evolving it into a bigger crisis of rising unemployment. According to eminent economist Hafiz A Pasha, the number of unemployed people in the country is likely to rise by over 2 to 8 million by the end of 2022-23. Pasha observed that the unemployment rate will approach 10 per cent 'probably for the first time.'

This is a viewpoint editorial by Leon Wankum, among the very first monetary economics trainees to compose a thesis about Bitcoin in 2015. Prologue This post is the 2nd in a series in which I intend to discuss a few of the advantages of making use of bitcoin as a "tool." The possibilities are limitless. I chose 3 locations where bitcoin has actually assisted me. This short article explains how bitcoin has actually made me more positive about the future due to the fact that it permitted me to effectively handle my cash and develop cost savings. I've established a lower time choice, significance I value the future more, which leads me to act more mindfully in today All of this has had a favorable influence on my psychological health. The Horrors Of Inflation When cash declines, it adversely impacts a society. This procedure can be observed in nations with high inflation. A terrible historic example is the devaluation in the Weimar Republic, the federal government of Germany from 1918 to1933 Germany lost World War I and was required to pay huge reparations. Germany then moved into a monetary crisis. In order to promote the economy and pay the reparation financial obligations, the German nationwide bank, the Reichsbank, printed huge quantities of cash. Their cash was decreased the value of so enormously that individuals lost all their cost savings and the nation entered into a recession. In 1922, a loaf of bread expense around 160 marks, by the end of 1923, it cost 200,000,000,000 By November 1923, one U.S. dollar deserved 4,210,500,000,000 German marks. As an outcome of the inflation, Germans entered into anguish. The population was disappointed, and the resulting inequality resulted in an increase in populism. Adolf Hitler benefited from this distress and controlled the masses into thinking that he and his Nazi henchmen might bring back Germany to its previous magnificence. His reign in Germany was marked by atrocities and ended in among the most harsh wars of annihilation in human history. This makes it clear that the decline of cash results in the decline of society and eventually to the decline of whatever-- consisting of human lives as the criminal activities in Germany, the scaries of World War II and the Holocaust have actually revealed. Monetary inflation causes social decay. That held true in the Weimar Republic and is still the case today. Monetary unpredictability and financial inflation worldwide are making it progressively tough to conserve, develop wealth and prepare for the future. An epidemic of misery and worry is sweeping the world. One may believe that reserve banks have actually gained from the past, however that is regrettably not the case. A terrible example is Lebanon: The Banque du Liban, Lebanon's reserve bank, has actually flowed a surplus of Lebanese currency recently in action to a deepening recession that has actually afflicted the nation considering that 2019, plunging three-quarters of its population into hardship. As anticipated, extreme cash printing has actually made matters worse. The inflation rate in 2021 was 154% The inflation projection for 2022 is 178% Although individuals have more cash at their disposal, whatever is getting more pricey in genuine terms. With the state lacking cash and scared of a bank run, it limited residents' access to the banking system. In action, on September 14, 2022, Sali Hafiz, a young Lebanese activist, robbed a Beirut bank to require her own cost savings so she might spend for treatment for her ill sibling, which the bank obviously declined to turn over to her. This raises the concern: How can it be that a girl in the prime of her life is required to rob a bank? Worry of the future tortures the mind. Bitcoin And Mental Health The reason for the issue is the state monopoly on cash. Historically, when federal governments or reserve banks stop working with their financial policy, they hold on to power by printing cash to continue moneying their activities. The

population then experiences currency decline, rate inflation and the resulting unpredictability. Bitcoin works in a different way. Bitcoin is produced at a rate which was specified when the system was produced and which is understood to the general public. There will never ever be more than 21,000,000 bitcoin. This certainty rollovers to other elements of life, for instance, you can be particular that if you select to conserve the fruits of your labor in bitcoin, you will be rewarded in the future since Bitcoin was created to be disinflationary. With bitcoin, you can offer your future self, your kids and your enjoyed ones. When you're old and less efficient, you have cost savings with which to live. No authority can avoid you from owning, saving or sending out bitcoin. The outright ownership that we have in bitcoin is unmatched and a cause for excellent hope. Bitcoin implies hope for a much better future ( source). Bitcoin is a financial constant. Like other constants in deep space, it produces a structure upon which mankind can translate info to anticipate the future with self-confidence. Preferably, cash needs to offer a sense of certainty about the future. Bitcoin does that. Yes, the bitcoin rate is unstable, however accepting higher unpredictability in the short-term is worth acquiring higher certainty in the long run. Bitcoin can make us positive about the future. Dr. Saifedean Ammous has discussed the effect of soft and tough cash on time choice and how that core financial impulse can infect other habits like selecting what to consume, how to construct and the worth of art and culture. A society that is utilizing soft cash is unconsciously instilled with the awareness that worth disappears and should be invested rapidly. It will prefer immediacy, compromising the future in look for satisfaction now. From its creation, the euro's operating approach was to naturally lose 2% of its getting worth yearly. Bitcoin provides an alternative as it is naturally disinflationary. Cash that can not be pumped up at will benefits etiquette, low time choice, high cost savings, preparation and obligation. Bitcoin provides a world that promotes conserving for your future self and household; a world that will permit you, your household and your neighborhood to prepare for generations " Bitcoin promotes human capacity through its emotionless enforcement of consensus-based guidelines that offer us predictability, and by extension, dependability." Most significantly, as so eloquently explained by John Vallis in a discussion with Peter McCormack on the " What Bitcoin Did" podcast, Bitcoin triggers us to have a more confident vision of the future. Vallis discusses the number of individuals are more positive with "a higher felt sense of flexibility due to the fact that of the qualities of bitcoin and what utilizing it enables is triggering individuals to: 1. Take more duty and 2. See a various future on the horizon than they had actually seen prior to." Later in the episode, Vallis stated: " How much of stress and anxiety in life originates from a task, a profession, cash and all that type of things? For many people a lot ... When you're put in a state of relative deprivation, you're more prone to being damaged since of your requirements, due to the fact that of your desires, due to the fact that of all that type of things. If you're in a lower state of deprivation, and that can be a monetary deprivation, spiritual, mental, all that kind of things. If you're healthy, more broadly speaking, I believe you're less prone. There is a smaller sized likelihood of being damaged." Bitcoin enables us to rise to a greater variation of ourselves, since we feel a level or certainty and are less afraid of the future. With a bitcoin requirement, these qualities will alter society. Most Bitcoiners I understand, including myself, have actually experienced an improvement given that welcoming bitcoin. Like many people around me, I utilized to fret about the future.

Today, I feel positive about my future self due to the fact that I understand bitcoin will reward me. I can now focus on doing what I like, which enables me to bring the best worth to the outdoors world. Knowing how to use bitcoin's capacity has actually permitted me to concentrate on what I think is really crucial. This has actually brought a brand-new level of consistency to my life that keeps me grounded and stimulated. Dr. Ammous discussed how Bitcoin has the prospective to alter individuals on his podcast "The Bitcoin Standard" in a discussion with Tarek El Diwany and Allen Farrington in a manner that resonated with me since it shows my individual Bitcoin journey: The worth of bitcoin permitted me to worth myself more. For many years now, I have not consumed or partied and rather put that cash into bitcoin. With that refocus, my time choice has actually totally altered. Rather of valuing things that bring short-term fulfillment, I value things that will make me pleased in the long term. Rather of partying every weekend, I comprehend the worth of utilizing my time throughout the week. I do not utilize the weekend to leave my week, I now utilize it as an extension to achieve my objectives. As Dr. Ammous states in the podcast, Bitcoiners have grand visions of dynasties and constructing generational wealth. Many individuals with fiat state of minds do not believe that far out. Surprisingly, those with a fiat mindest do not comprehend Bitcoin. They have an extremely brief time choice and just see the everyday rate changes and not the long-lasting gains. Fiat individuals are working on a treadmill that does not enable them to see past the next weekend since there is no simple method for them to attend to the future. With bitcoin, there is. With bitcoin, time choices extend and individuals can value the future, which permits us to value today. Whether you concur or disagree with this, I have actually fulfilled a couple of Bitcoiners that have actually gone through significant psychological modifications after holding bitcoin for a minimum of 5 years. Conclusion Bitcoin can be a tool to discover optimism, if we want to utilize it appropriately. This self-responsibility is at the core of Bitcoin's approach. The primary step is to accept that the existing financial design we reside in is not the very best one possible. The next action is to actively utilize and research study bitcoin. This makes you face yourself since you start to actively engage with the truth you reside in and you begin to question your own actions. The start of the Bitcoin journey may be hard, due to the fact that of bitcoin's volatility, which contrasts with the viewed security of the present system and may be upsetting at. As time goes by (and bitcoin boosts in rate), fulfillment and security sets in. This can have a favorable influence on psychological health as there is less stress and concern, which can cause a more positive view of the future. With bitcoin, you need to discover to handle unpredictability. Something that in fact comes from being human, however is viewed as bad by the existing system. We are utilized to due time choice. Whatever requires to take place quick. A system like Bitcoin, which requires time to progress, produces angst. That i s a lesson that teaches you how to be more patient, economically accountable, self-determined and independent-- virtues that we do not always find out through our existing monetary system. Currency crises and political discontent will eventually require everybody to get included with bitcoin, due to the fact that it provides a much better option. I hope this short article will motivate you to get included with bitcoin prior to you are pushed into it. This is a visitor post by Leon Wankum.
