Courage
With the state of the world today, it takes courage to openly express any faith. There's such global paranoia, and it's saddening. Despite that, there are many Muslims dressing according to their religion and speaking out, in a
Regardless of which type of business you currently have, you will definately want to have a website and begin marketing it on the world wide web. After you have designed your website, the next step is to ensure it is properly "optimized", meaning that it's body text(the text you see), title and meta tags(the text that you don't) all have the words you are trying to be found for on the search engine results.Many individuals optimize each individual page of their website for a different search engine, but I recommend that you focus on the biggest Search Engines like Google and MSN Search. Some high profile Search Engi
Sometimes I wonder if everything happens for a reason. I do strongly feel that God places people on my path through life, to walk with me for a while... some for only a brief period of time, some, I hope, will be there until the end. I know that each encounter changes, enriches and teaches me. And a couple of my travel companions have given me a better insight into what is Islam.
I've learned that Islam is a faith that's all too often misunderstood. The media, seemingly eager to spread doom and gloom, is very capable of painting a distorted picture. This is certainly the case when they accentuate the actions of a few. If you truly wish to gain an understanding of anything, including a religion, talk to people who know, who, in this case, live a life according to that religion... get to know them and listen with an open mind.
When I now think of Islam - as I admit that I didn't even have the slightest understanding of this faith in the past - the following values come to mind: integrity, courage, empathy and kindness towards all. Please allow me to explore a few examples:
Integrity
Most of us will have heard of cases where female Muslim students were banned from wearing a headscarf in school. Most of us will have heard of female Muslim students choosing to obey the Quran, and their faith, choosing to wear their headscarf instead of bowing down to bureaucracy. This takes integrity.
Courage

Talking about death with a stranger can be an interesting experience, especially when the stranger is a lawyer and you are writing out your will.On our first visit with the lawyer my wife and I didn’t know what to expect. We knew she specialized in estate planning, so we felt comfortable with her talent and expertise, but the weight of discussing our inevitable deaths made us uneasy, even while sitting in that comfortably decorated conference room.We expected the situation to begin with the scripted, “Heaven forbid something were to happen to you…,” but our lawyer’s approach was different.Looking acro

Trying to become one of the top rated websites on the internet search engines is not an easy task to say the least. With the number of websites currently in operation creeping towards one trillion, there are those that believe that the old strategies for gaining a top rank may be dead, but there are still some things that a person should do if they have any chance of showing up in the search results of any of the top search engines. Thankfully these are anything but difficult and anyone with a small amount of internet related search knowledge can work through the issues. Working with these issues is fairly simple and the m

Can Project Managers prevent projects from slipping?Ask a techie to come up with a schedule for a specific list of activities, and more often than not, he/she will present a fairly accurate estimate. Some activities might be underestimated, others overestimated, but overall, the plan will be fairly accurate.However, something happens to these estimates between the time the techie writes them down and the time the Project Manager publishes a baseline project schedule. That “something” is why projects slip.Projects tend to slip for two reasons. Either Project Managers don’t account for derivative acti

As a business owner, you want to do as much as possible to secure business and improve your profit margin. You probably already know that advertising and marketing are two routes to take to get the word out about what you have to offer. Marketing and advertising can be expensive investments. Too often business owners throw away money by creating ad and marketing campaigns without the guidance of a professional. In turn, they don't see the results they should.Writing promotional copy that will get noticed and garner you business is not an undertaking to be left to an amateur. Professional writers will have an intimat
Courage
With the state of the world today, it takes courage to openly express any faith. There's such global paranoia, and it's saddening. Despite that, there are many Muslims dressing according to their religion and speaking out, in a respectful manner, about the words in the Quran. If more people were willing to listen, they'd find out that Islam is a peaceful religion, teaching kindness towards others and abhorring violence.
Empathy
I am not Muslim, but despite our different beliefs and ways of life, my Muslim friends have reached out to me, supported me, listened to me and offered me kind words of advice. This was never done in any way to try convert me to their faith. It was one human being reaching out to another human being in their hour of need. I am blessed with the friendships that were formed.
Kindness
My grandmother is wary of anything and everything she doesn't know about. When a family of Muslims moved next door to her, she thus wasn't too sure about it all. Since then, they've developed a wonderful friendship.
When my grandmother was recovering from her second stroke, her neighbours brought her and my uncle - who still lives at home but is not a very good cook - daily meals. When my uncle was away on holiday, they did not hesitate to offer to do the shopping. They didn't hesitate to help out an elderly Christian woman in need, no matter how sceptical she was at first about her new neighbours.
