Imam By : Farshid
The word Imam (pl. a'imma) is derived from amma, meaning to lead the way, precede, or to lead by example. Thus, the Imam means a model, an exemplar, a teacher, a guide or a path.

With the Prophet, the Khatim al-anbiya (seal of the prophets), the cycle of prophecy (da'irat an-nubuwwa) was closed, but God did not thenceforth leave His people without guidance on the way to Himself. For the majority, the guide was the revealed Book. For the others, the exoteric laws, though accepted, was not enough. For these who became known as the Shi'ites, the guide through this world of divine wisdom (hikma ilahiyya) was the infallible Imam. The Imam is also Wali Allah and the closing of the prophetical cycle heralded the opening of another, i.e., the da'irat al-walaya.
Ikhwan As-Safa By : Farshid
"The Abbasid caliph Mamun (d. 218/833) patronized philosophy and professed Mutazalism. It was an interesting trend among the educated elite to drift towards Greek philosophy and ultimately a bulk of the contradictions raised among the Muslims in interpreting Islamic practices. It must be known that the intellect is an indispensable faculty in man, but despite this, its power of penetration has a definite limit. It may enjoy apparent supremacy and mastery in certain fields, but there are many things, which are baffling and incomprehensible to it. The intellect cannot grasp a thing as a whole and its entirety. Its range of operation is limited, and therefore a true spiritual master is needed to guide a proper method.
Idda By : Farshid
"The word idda is derived from the verb adda, meaning to count or enumerate. A woman whose marriage is annulled, or when she is divorced, a period of waiting, known as idda, is followed. The Koran says: "O Prophet! when you divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed time (idda), and calculate the number of the days prescribed, and be careful of (your duty to) God, your Lord. Do not drive them out of their houses, nor should they themselves go forth, unless they commit an open indecency; and these are the limits of God, and whoever goes beyond the limits of God, he indeed does injustice to his own soul. You do not know that God may after that bring about reunion" (65:1).

Ibn Hawshab By : Farshid
Abul Qassim Hasan bin Farah bin Hawshab, generally was known by the epithet, Mansur al-Yamen (the victorious one of the Yamen). Ibn Hawshab was originally a Twelver, and is said to have spent most of time in a secluded spot on the bank of Euphrates. In such state, he is reported to have met Imam Radi Abdullah and discoursed with him on religion. Imam left him after promising to see him again. Ibn Hawshab was impressed by his chance meeting, and was eager to further meeting. After an anxious wait for several days, the Imam did not appear again, thus he became restless and began to search him. Despite his frantic efforts to locate the Imam's whereabouts, he could not trace him. After sometimes, he accidentally met the Imam's deputy, and through him, Ibn Hawshab eventually succeeded in reaching the Imam's presence. Imam Radi Abdullah answered his queries to his satisfaction and assuaged his doubts, and at length he espoused Ismailism.

Benefits of Private Tutoring By : Jamie Hanson
It has been a debatable topic for a long time now, but, provided the teacher is well qualified and understands a child’s psychology, he can very well motivate an otherwise average child to secure good marks.
Hur By : Farshid
The word hur occurs four times in the Koran (44:54, 52:20, 55:72 and 56:22), three of which appear in connection with the adjective in (sing. Feminine ayna, masculine a'yan), meaning white-eyed with a deep black pupil. It is a plural of ahwar (applied to a man) and of haura (applied to a woman), signifying one having eyes characterizd by the quality termed hawar. The word hawar means originally whiteness (a symbol of purity), and the word haura is applied to a woman who is of a white colour and whose white of the eyes is intensely white and the black thereof intensely black. Ahwar, besides being applied to a man of a similar description, also signifies pure or clear intellect. In fact, purity is the prevailing idea in hawar, and therefore hawar, which is derived from the same root, means a pure and a sincere friend. Hence, "pure ones" is the nearest rendering of the word hur in English. The word entered in Europe through the Persian singular (huri or huri beheshti) and the Turkish huree.

A wide variety of unique activities took place. The older people were very excited to see the children and greeted them with enthusiasm. There followed a number of different activities, including singing. Both children and adults sang a wide range of devotional songs, including one sung by a ten year old boy about his mother.

Hasan Bin Ali Bin Abu Talib By : Farshid
"Abu Muhammad Hasan, or Hasan, the elder brother of Imam Hussain was born in 3/625 in Medina. He was also brought up with Imam Hussain in the household of the Prophet until the latter's death when Hasan was about 7 years old. It emerges from the extant traditions that the Prophet had a great fondness for his two grand-children. Hasan and Hussain, whom he referred to as the "chief of the youths of paradise." Another tradition relates, "Both Hasan and Hussain are for me the fragrance in the world" (Masnad, 2:85).

Hasan was 37 years old when his father fell at the hands of the assassin at Kufa. Qais bin Sa'd was the first to swear allegiance to Hasan on the day when Ali died, and then it was followed by 40,000 Kufans, acclaiming Hasan as the fifth caliph. Tabari (2:5) writes that the oath of allegiance taken by those present stipulated that, "They should make war on those who were at war with Hasan, and should live in peace with those who were at peace with Hasan." This clearly suggests that the oath sworn by the Kufans was political. Thus, the temporal power that had been with the Prophet, joined with the caliphate of Ali about 24 years, 8 months and 28 days after the death of the Prophet. When Ali died, the same powers, though remained with the Ahl al-Bayt, were separated once again. The temporal authority had gone to the hands of Hasan, and the spiritual authority was inherited by Hussain and in his Hussainid progeny.

Halal Wa Haram By : Farshid
The words halal means lawful, allowed or permitted, and haram means unlawful, forbidden or prohibited, and cognate terms from the trilateral roots h-l-l and h-r-m respectively, most often designate these two categories and are of relatively frequent occurrence. The Koranic declaration of lawfulness or unlawfulness are limited to a relatively few areas of the law as later elaborated by the jurists. Apart from denoting lawfulness, the root h-l-l indicates an exit from the ritual state connected with the pilgrimage and re-entry into the profane state (idha halal-tun) (5:2). The most common means for indicating lawfulness in the Koran is to use the causative verb ahalla means to make lawful, usually with God as the subject: "He makes the good things lawful for them" (7:157), but it is sometimes passive (5:1) concerning certain livestock. In one instance it occurs in the first person plural, in an address to the Prophet (33:50).

Alpine Challenge Helps California Kids By : Tony585 Tony585
Landmark Education Graduate Creates Cycling Charity

Ed Paul�s Alpine Challenge has come along way in eight years. Formed out of Paul�s participation in Landmark Education�s Self-Expression and Leadership Program, this fundraising cycling event through the hills near San Diego has grown from about 70 riders in its first year to almost 700 in 2008. Money raised for the event goes to charities that benefit kids: Half of this year�s proceeds go to a children�s hospital, while the rest goes to a program for at risk youth. Over the eight years since the program began, over $150,000 has been raised for children�s charities.

Paul�s Alpine Challenge is aptly named. Although the hilly, rural terrain can provide breathtaking views, not many riders may have the energy to enjoy tme. Riders can choose �easy� 20-30 mile courses, while the more difficult courses are 62 or 72 miles each, with an approximate elevation gain of 7,000 feet. Even the 20 mile ride has about a 2,000 foot elevation gain, according to Paul.

Each of the four courses follows a similar path. The riders start in downtown alpine and go immediately up a hill that takes them around the Viejas Indian Reservation. The 62-mile and 72-mile rides then continue through Harbison Canyon.

Ghibah By : Farshid
Ghibah is the verbal noun (masdar) of ghaba and also that of ightiyab means backbiting. Jawahari writes, "It is said ighatabahu ightiyaban when one falls into backbiting. The noun is al-ghibah, and it means saying such things about an absent person. If it is true it is called ghibah and if false, buhtan (slander)." The Koran specifies the varieties of evil speech, which violate the dignity of others and seek to expose their weakness. In the following text the believers are instructed on this theme: "O believers! Let not people ridicule other people, perchance the latter may be better than the former, not let women ridicule other women, perchance the latter may be better than the former. Neither find fault with each other, nor insult one another with derisive nicknames" (49:11). This is immediately followed by another passage, which singles out backbiting (ghibah) and depicts its enormity in particularly striking terms: "Spy not and defame not others behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? (Surely) you would abhor it" (49:12). Elsewhere in the Koran is the chapter bearing the title, "The Slanderer" (al-Humazah), begins with a clarion denunciation of every slandering defamer (104:1). The whole of this chapter is devoted to a rigorous condemnation of backbiting.
