The first virus for personal computers in 1986 became known as 'Brain'. 'Welcome to the dungeon' was the message that flashed up on computer screens. 'Brain' spread around the world and became infamous when it was featured in newspapers and magazines. Amjad Farooq Alvi told Gill Kearsley in 2023 how he and his brother, Basit, came to develop this accidental virus from their shop in Lahore, Pakistan.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Basit Kareem Iqbal's new book The Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution (Fordham UP, 2025) uses ethnographic scenes from Jordan and Canada to contextualize the role of Muslim charities and community organizations that support displaced refugees from the Syrian catastrophe. Through these encounters, however, we learn not only of the limitations of secular humanitarian projects, but we are also privy to the deep theological enterprise of notions of trial and tribulation of those caught between mobility and immobility and various entangled temporalities. Iqbal and his interlocutors grapple with the asymmetrical realities of a Divine's mercy and compassion set against violence, horror, and death. It is at these junctures that we encounter an ethnography of theology, that is, how Qur'anic principles are fundamentally tested, negotiated, and stretched by everyday survivors, be they activists or humanitarian aid workers, as they forge a path ahead in the world of the living. The interpretations that arise from Iqbal's interlocutors, be they Salafi or Sufi oriented, challenges readers to contend with religious and theological sensibilities of a secular world of humanitarianism and international aid but also centers the voices of refugees. Iqbal's book is beautifully crafted. It models how one can write of such topics with care and intention without ever escaping or sensationalizing the horrors and evils faced by displaced peoples. This book will be of interest to those who work on Syria, anthropology of Islam, Islamic theology, international aid and humanitarianism and much more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bitcoin... Bir düzine insana sorun, iki düzine farklı cevap alın. Basit ve karmaşık, müsrif ve verimli, yavaş ama aynı zamanda var olabilecek en hızlı para. Dijital ama kıt? Değişebilir ama değiştirilemez? Anonim ama şeffaf? Bitcoin tüm zıtlıkları birleştiriyor. Peki gerçekten nedir? Belki de sonsuz soru 'Bitcoin nedir?', 'Senin için Bitcoin nedir?' sorusuna dönüşmeli, çünkü onun dünyasında otorite yok.Bitcoin bilginin ta kendisi. 12 kelimeniz - özel anahtarınız - ve halka açık defterin birleşimiyle değer kazanır. Bu sadece bilgi değil, kontrol. Değer, fikir birliğinden ve benzersizlikten gelir. Şansla başlayan, matematikle şekillenen, zamanın belirlediği bir para politikası. Dinamik yapısı, ağın kendisini ayarlamasını sağlar.Bu sadece teknoloji değil, aynı zamanda etik bir kod barındırır: Sahtecilik yapmayacaksın, enflasyona yol açmayacaksın, el koymayacaksın. Çalmayacaksın. Bu ahlaki kod, bilgisayar koduna, oradan da yasaya dönüşür. Bitcoin özgürlüktür, gerçektir ve akıldır. Gönüllü bir sistemdir.Mevcut sistemin (Fiat) yol açtığı sansür, kölelik ve tiranlığın aksine, Bitcoin adalettir, ölçüttür. Fiat para, zaman hırsızlarının işidir; enflasyon ve merkez bankaları tarafından çalınan zamanı geri getiren Momo'dur. Bitcoin, Fiat aşamasını sonlandırıp kökenlere dönüşü temsil eder. İstikrarlı, basit, makul olduğu için kalıcıdır. Bitcoin bir kurtarma botudur.Kaynak
"Bitcoin bunu düzeltir" sözünü duydunuz mu? İlk başta kulağa anlamsız, hatta alaycı gelebilir. Ancak modern dünyamız ciddi tehditlerle yüzleşiyor: zulüm, yaygın gözetim, finansal sistemden dışlanma. Basit bir eyleminiz yüzünden banka hesaplarınız dondurulabilir, topluma katılım hakkınız elinizden alınabilir. Eski sistemde herkesin başına gelebilecek bu durumlar karşısında Bitcoin'in rolü ne olabilir? Bitcoin tek başına sihirli bir çözüm değildir. Ancak sizin katılımınızla, ilginizle ve çabanızla işe yarar. Kendinizi korumak, finansal özgürlüğünüzü savunmak sizin sorumluluğunuzdadır. Bu anlayış, sadece bilgiyle değil, deneyimle kazanılır. Bir Bitcoin cüzdanı kurmak, kendi anahtarlarınıza sahip çıkmak, yedek almak... Bu adımlar, Bitcoin'in size bahşettiği gücü ve kimsenin onu sizden alamayacağı gerçeğini hissetmenizi sağlar. Servetinizi sadece zihninizdeki kelimelerle bir yerden bir yere taşımanın ne anlama geldiğini deneyimlemek, Bitcoin'in potansiyelini derinlemesine anlamanızı sağlar. Bu yolculuk bireyi ve dolayısıyla dünyayı dönüştürebilir. Bitcoin'in özünde Hakikat, Sevgi ve Sorumluluk ilkeleri vardır. Artık küçümseme dönemi bitti; Bitcoin büyüdükçe ona karşı koyma çabaları artacaktır. Unutmayın, siz, kullanıcılar, bu yapının kritik bir parçasısınız. Bilgi ve özgürlük araçlarıyla kendinizi donatın. Kolay çözümler aramak yerine, kendinizi eğitin, başkalarını bilgilendirin. Kimseye körü körüne güvenmeyin, kendi yargılarınızı oluşturun. Bitcoin, doğru kullanıldığında bireyi gerçekten güçlendiren bir araçtır.Kaynak
Name covered in this lesson al-Basit (The Extender). In the Qur'an, Allah says, “To Allah belongs the Most Beautiful Names, so call on Him by them” (7:180). This verse encourages people to worship Allah by praising Him with His beautiful names and making du'ā'. In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman goes through the famous 99 names of Allah and provides practical examples on which name to call on Him in different situations. Learning the names of Allah, or Asma ul-Husna, can help people get closer to Allah.
