According to Wikipedia: "Sir Edwin Arnold (10 June 1832 – 24 March 1904) was an English poet and journalist, who is most known for his work, The Light of Asia… . The literary task which he set before him was the interpretation in English verse of the life and philosophy of the East. His chief work with this object is The Light of Asia which was translated into various languages such as Hindi (tr. by Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla). It appeared in 1879 and was an immediate success, going through numerous editions in England and America, though its permanent place in literature is quite uncertain. It is an Indian epic, dealing with the life and teaching of the Buddha."

Excited for her first camping trip with her Girls Club, Cassandra buddies up with her friend Riley and hopes their friendship will become even stronger.

The object of this work is to give a true and impartial record of the old Sixth Regiment during the war. The author collected the facts from a private diary kept by himself while in the service. Less has been known of the Sixth by our citizens than most of the other regiments; perhaps this is due partly to the fact that when we arrived.in Washington Colonel Chatfield instructed officers and men that it was unmilitary to write letters for the press; he desired that the War Record should know the record of the Sixth, and not the newspapers only. Its history is less full on this account; yet none can say that the record of the Sixth is sullied. In many trying places the regiment proved itself honor ably and gained confidence from its corps and department commanders. There may be errors in this work, and if any are inclined to censure, I trust they will remember that very few histories are without them; yet they are errors of the head and not of the heart. If what is here written meets the approval of the old members and the intelligent readers in general, I shall feel that my labors have been amply rewarded.

“And He sent against them birds, in flocks. Striking them with stones of Sijjil (baked clay). And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).”(Al-Fil: 3-5)?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? While meekness is a characteristic of most visual creatures in the universe, then the frightful horror constitutes a characteristic of their unknown counterparts. I will not say anything else ...I am not allowed to talk about myself. My reality encloses a secret which if it is revealed to any creature, his blood will freeze and he will cease to exist out of fright. I am one of the Ababil the Flocks of Birds, that was mentioned in the Qur'an. I am the Commander of Communications among the six wings of the Eighth Army of these birds. The number of armies is a secret as well as the number of birds in the Eighth Army. We launch wars only at the order of Almighty Allah. I will not say how many missions we have carried out, for this matter belongs only to Almighty Allah. "Every day He has a matter to bring forth (such as giving honor to some, disgrace to some, life to some, death to some, etc.)!" All what I can say is that those missions were known to the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. As for us creatures, there are cascading curtains and thick barriers that separate between them and us and this is because of Allah's mercy to His servants.

Di daerah Mausil, Irak tepatnya di Ninive, masyarakatnya suka menuhankan benda, menyembah patung, menganggap tempat-tempat tertentu sebagai tempat keramat. Sedangkan di daerah Syam, ada seorang yang arif dan bijaksana bernama Yunus. Yunus diperintahkan oleh Allah untuk datang ke Ninive. Di sana ia melakukan dakwah, mencegah yang mungkar (kejahatan) dan menyeru kebaikan. Akan tetapi, ajakan Yunus itu disambut dengan sikap yang tidak terhormat. Nabi Allah itu dihadapi dengan ejekan-ejekan dan hinaan-hinaan. Rupanya kaum Ninive/Niwana itu terlalu menyombongkan diri dengan kekayaan yang dimiliki selama ini, sehingga menganggap remeh terhadap Yunus. Yunus tetap bersabar menghadapi perlakuan kaumnya. Nabi Yunus terus mencoba, mencoba lagi untuk mengajak kaumnya kepada jalan yang benar...

Tiada habisnya orang-orang kafir mengzalimi Rasulullah SAW. Mulai dari memfitnah hingga menyuruh Rasul melakukan sesuatu yang menurut mereka hal yang mustahil, yaitu membelah bulan. Namun, dengan izin Allah SWT, Rasulullah SAW dapat melaluinya dengan sabar.Jumlah orang-orang mukmin terus bertambah seiring berjalannya waktu.Sementara itu, orang-orang jahat tidak juga menghentikan kekejaman mereka. Mereka bahkan terus menantang Rasulullah SAW.Pada suatu hari, orang-orang kafir kembali mengelilingi Rasulullah SAW. Mereka punya rencana baru untuk menyudutkan beliau. Mereka meminta Rasul SAW melakukan sesuatu yang menurut mereka mustahil untuk dilakukan. Nanti saat melihat beliau tidak bisa melakukannya, mereka akan mengolok-olok beliau.Dengan pemikiran seperti itu, mereka berkata, ＆quot;Kalau engkau memang seorang nabi, tunjukkan mukjizat kepada kamu. Misalnya, belahlah bulan purnama di atas kepala kita menjadi dua. Letakkan yang sebelah di atas gunung ini dan sebelah lagi di atas gunung itu,＆quot; kata orang-orang kafir. ＆quot;Kalau aku dapat melakukannya apakah kalian akan percaya padaku?＆quot; tanya Rasul SAW, merekapun menjawab ya＆hellip;＆hellip;.

Setiap pasangan suami istri pastinya menginginkan memiliki keturunan sendiri. Tetapi, ketika Allah belum mengijinkan pasangan suami istri tersebut untuk memiliki keturunan, ada banyak cara yang dilakukan untuk bisa memiliki anak. Salah satunya dengan mengangkat anak/mengadopsi anak orang lain. Sebenarnya tradisi mengangkat anak ini sudah ada sejak jaman dahulu. Bahkan Rasulullah sendiri pun pernah mengangkat anak. Sebenarnya bagaimana hukum mengadopsi anak menurut pandangan Islam? Berikut penjelasannya untuk Anda. Banyak masalah tentang anak angkat ini yang muncul di kalangan masyarakat. Seringkalinya, anak angkat disamakan kedudukannya seperti anak kandung sendiri, dan menganggap seperti anak kandung sendiri tanpa lagi memperhatikan batas-batas mahram. Selain itu, karena menganggap seperti anak kandung sendiri, anak angkat mendapatkan hak waris layaknya anak kandung sendiri. Dan mungkin masih banyak lagi permasalahan seputar anak angkat. Padahal, syariat Islam yang agung telah menjelaskan dengan lengkap dan gamblang hukum-hukum yang berkenaan dengan masalah anak angkat ini, sehingga jika kaum muslimin mau mempelajari petunjuk Allah Ta’ala dalam agama mereka maka mestinya mereka tidak akan terjerumus dalam kesalahan-kesalahan tersebut di atas.

Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya, "Sesungguhnya Allah menyuruh kamu menyembelih seekor sapi betina." Mereka berkata, "Apakah kamu hendak menjadikan kami buah ejekan?" Musa menjawab, "Aku berlindung kepada Allah agar tidak termasuk orang-orang yang jahil." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 67) Pada zaman Bani Israil, hiduplah seekor sapi betina yang cantik dan telah berjasa ikut membantu mengungkap sebuah pembunuhan. Mengapa sapi betina itu bisa membongkar sebuah kasus pembunuhan? Ingin tahu kisah selengkapnya? Silahkan Anda menyimak kisahnya berikut ini. Ada seekor sapi betina yang tidak seperti sapi-sapi yang lain. Selain bertubuh besar, warna bulunya pun kuning terang, sehingga terlihat sangat cantik. Dan anehnya sapi ini tidak suka berkubang di lumpur seperti sapi-sapi kebanyakan.Sapi ini dimiliki oleh seorang anak yatim piatu. Sebelum ayahnya meninggal, beliau telah memberikan wasiat untuk menjaga sapi tersebut sampai besar. Sejak saat itulah, si anak itu merawat sapi peninggalan orangtuanya dengan penuh kasih sayang.

Merasa cukup (qanaah) terhadap apapun yang kita peroleh memang gampang-gampang susah. Ego diri, kurang bersyukur serta melihat seseorang yang lebih tinggi dan memiliki dari kita adalah penyakit-penyakit yang semestinya harus kita obati. Kendati demikian, tak sedikit pula orang-orang di sekeliling kita yang memilih untuk zuhud meski ia memiliki banyak harta, jabatan yang tinggi dan kekayaan yang tak ada habisnya. Lalu, apa definisi zuhud yang sebenarnya? Zuhud dalam sesuatu (al-zuhd fi al-sya’i) menurut bahasa artinya berpaling dari sesuatu yang bersifat duniawi karena menganggapnya hina, remeh, dan yang lebih baik adalah tidak membutuhkannya. Di dalam Alquran banyak disebutkan tentang zuhud di dunia, kabar tentang kehinaan dunia, kefanaan dan kemusnahannya yang begitu cepat, perintah memperhatikan kepentingan akhirat, dan kabar tentang kemuliaan dan keabadiannya. Jika Allah menghendaki suatu kebaikan pada diri seorang hamba, maka Dia menghadirkan di dalam hatinya bukti penguat yang membuatnya bisa membedakan hakikat dunia dan akhirat, lalu dia memprioritaskan mana yang lebih penting……

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Through dialogue, three philosophers named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. Whether or not these names reference specific philosophers, ancient or otherwise, remains a topic of scholarly dispute. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes and how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. ? In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence of God, and arguments whose proponents believe through which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from design—for which Hume uses a house—and whether there is more suffering or good in the world (argument from evil). ? Hume started writing the Dialogues in 1750 but did not complete them until 1776, shortly before his death. They are based partly on Cicero's De Natura Deorum. The Dialogues were published posthumously in 1779, originally with neither the author's nor the publisher's name.

Nabi Mu?ammad SAW (selengkapnya Mu?ammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Mutthalib bin Hasyim (lahir di Mekkah, 20 April 570 – meninggal di Madinah, 8 Juni 632 pada umur 62 tahun) adalah seorang nabi dan rasul bagi umat Muslim. Ia memulai penyebaran ajaran Islam untuk seluruh umat manusia dan mewariskan pemerintahan tunggal Islam. Meski non-Muslim umumnya menganggap Nabi Muhammad SAW sebagai pendiri Islam, dalam pandangan kaum muslim, Nabi Muhammad SAW sama-sama menegakkan ajaran tauhid untuk mengesakan Allah SWT sebagaimana yang dibawa nabi dan rasul sebelumnya sejak dari Nabi Nuh. Umat Muslim menyebut Nabi Muhammad SAW dengan salam penghormatan "Shalallaahu 'Alayhi Wasallam" dan mengiringi dengan shalawat Nabi setiap nama Nabi Muhammad SAW diperdengarkan. Lahir pada tahun 570 di Mekkah, Nabi Muhammad SAW melewati masa kecil sebagai yatim piatu; ia dibesarkan di bawah asuhan kakeknya Abdul Muthalib kemudian pamannya Abu Thalib. Beranjak remaja, Muhammad bekerja sebagai pedagang. Ia kadang-kadang mengasingkan diri ke gua sebuah bukit hingga bermalam-malam untuk merenung dan berdoa; diriwayatkan dalam usia ke-40, Nabi Muhammad SAW didatangi Malaikat Jibril dan menerima wahyu pertama dari Allah. Ia menyatakan dirinya sebagai utusan Allah, sebagaimana nabi-nabi yang telah Allah utus sebelumnya. Tiga tahun setelah wahyu pertama, Nabi Muhammad SAW mulai berdakwah secara terbuka, menyatakan keesaan Allah SWT Tuhan Alam Semesta dalam bentuk penyerahan diri melalui Islam sebagai agama yang benar dan meninggalkan sesembahan selain Allah SWT. Praktik atau amalan Nabi Muhammad SAW diriwayatkan dalam hadits, dirujuk oleh umat Islam sebagai sumber hukum Islam bersama Al-Quran.

Hurrah for Essays! All writing lessons should be this much fun. When cousins Mellie and Dennis decide to get a cat, they consider carefully what breed would be best for each family.

PRAISE FROM CAT EXPERTS “This is an absolutely delightful book intended for children, but actually one that is informative for adults as well, it reinforces the importance of considering various factors when selecting a cat as a pet. The two cousins are exchanging thoughts about their lifestyles and priorities. They each have a vision of their ‘ideal cat.’ Though every cat is an individual, the book expresses the value of predictable personality traits and other characteristics of various pedigreed cat breeds. It is a charming story of the two children each going through the process of finding a cat who best fits their own preferences. The playful illustrations compliment the humorous and educational quality of the book.” --Joan Miller, Cahir, CFA Outreach and Education, Cat Fancier’s Association This is quite simply as informative a cat book as any text out there. Each selected breed pinpoints the single most important trait to know about it before choosing a cat ‘purrfect’ for you. Although written from a child’s perspective, it makes clear sense to readers of all ages. As a cat lover and Maine Coon Cat breeder and enthusiast, I was thrilled with the spot on description and story of this beloved breed. — Alexis Mitchell, Syracoon/Furensics, Maine Coon Cat Breed Council Secretary, Maine Coon Cat breeders of CFA This story hits many notes: A family story about cousins, Dennis and Mellie Scientific information on cat breeds Responsible cat ownership Mentor-text for teaching writing Model opinion essay for elementary students Models the writing process, especially the importance of pre-writing or planning before you write Completes the writing process by showing the results of Dennis’s essay I WANT A DOG almost makes opinion essays look too easy.

A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper? Early in August 1937, a news flash came: a sea monster had been spotted lurking off the shore of Nantucket Island. Historically, the Massachusetts island had served as port for whaling ships. Eyewitnesses swore this wasn’t a whale, but some new, fearsome creature. As eyewitness account piled up, newspaper stories of the sea monster spread quickly. Across the nation, people shivered in fear. Then, footprints were found on a Nantucket beach. Photographs were sent to prominent biologists for their opinion.
