Sadaqa - charity protects your children! Indeed, Allah (SWT) tends to a single date or morsel from you until it grows, just as you tend to your foal or young camel until it grows. (Ahmad, Musnad). Verily, if Allah (SWT) Honoured and Glorified be He, wants to turn something small into something great, He (SWT) can do so. And if He (SWT), wants to turn something great into something small, He (SWT) can do so, (Imam Suyootee [rah] in his Ad Durr Al-Manthoor). A servant does not give a good charity except that Allah (SWT) leaves a good successor for his legacy. (Haafiz Husayn ibn Harb as-Sulamee, Birr). Similarly, The Messenger ﷺ had said, A servant does not excel in charity but that Allah (SWT) then bestows Blessings upon his progeny. (Musnad).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 32 The Ascetic  The oppressor is cursed. He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy and he who does not forgive will not be forgiven (Ahmad). Whoever harms a Muslim unjustly, it is as though he has demolished the Kaba (Tabarani). The believer is more honourable in the Sight of Allah SWT than even the Angels (Baihaqi). The worst form of usury is the violation of the personal honour of a Muslim (Baihaqi) & Surah Al Ahzaab 33:58. A good attitude is a Blessing and a bad attitude is a calamity.  Birr (piety) lengthens life and charity prevents a bad death (Tirmidhi). Controlling Anger Whilst Abu Zharr (ra) was watering his animals, a man unintentionally breaks the water trough. Abu Zharr (ra) sat down then layed down! (As advised by The Messenger ﷺ ).

Bismillah, 203. ORANG PELIT ITU JAUH DARI ALLAH & SURGA Kajian Wanita Kitab Al-Wabilush Shayyib Pasal: Keutamaan shadaqah Halaman 93-94 Aku (Ibnul Qayyim) telah mendengar Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyyah, berkata, "Allah menurunkan wahyu kepada Ibrahim `Apakah engkau tahu mengapa Aku menjadikanmu kekasih?' Ibrahim berkata, `Tidak.' Allah berkata, (Karena Aku melihat engkau lebih suka memberi daripada meminta.' Ini adalah satu sifat di antara sifat-sifat Allah, karena sesungguhnya Allah senantiasa memberi dan tidak pernah meminta, memberi makan dan tidak minta diberi makan. Sedangkan Ibrahim adalah orang yang paling baik di antara orang-orang baik, yang paling dermawan di antara orang-orang dermawan, dan orang yang paling dicintai oleh Allah karena ia bersifat seperti sifat-Nya. Sesungguhnya Allah mencintai orang yang dermawan di antara hamba-hamba-Nya, Dia Maha Mengetahui dan mencintai orang-orang yang berilmu pengetahuan (para ulama), Dia Mahakuasa dan mencintai keberanian, dan Dia Mahaindah dan mencintai keindahan.” At-Tirmidzi meriwayatkan dalam kitab Jami'nya, ia berkata: Telah menceritakan kepada kami Muhammad bin Basysyar; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu `Amir; telah mengabarkan kepada kami Khalid bin Ilyas, dari Shalih bin Abi Hassan, ia berkata: Aku telah mendengar Sa'id bin al-Musayyab berkata, "Sesungguhnya Allah Mahabaik dan mencintai hal-hal yang baik, Mahabersih dan mencintai kebersihan, Maha Pemurah dan mencintai kemurahan, serta Mahamulia dan mencintai kemuliaan. Bersihkanlah pekarangan rumah kaliaii dan janganlah kalian menyerupai orang Yahudi." Dia berkata: Aku menyebutkan hal ini kepada Muhajir bin Mismar, maka ia berkata: `Amir bin Sa'd telah menceritakan kepadaku, dari ayah-nya, dari Nabi dengan hadits yang semisal, namun dalam hadits itu beliau bersabda, "Maka bersihkanlah halaman kalian." Hadits ini Khalid bin Ilyas dinilai lemah. Dalam Sunan at-Tirmidzi juga disebutkan dalam kitab al-Birr, ia berkata: Telah menceritakan kepada kami al-Hasan bin `Arafah, telah menceritakan kepada kami Sa'id bin Muhammad al-Warraq, dari Yahya bin Sa'id, dari al-A'raj, dari Abu Hurairah, dari Nabi ﷺ beliau berkata, "Orang yang dermawan itu dekat kepada Allah, dekat kepada Surga, dekat kepada manusia dan jauh dari neraka, sementara orang yang bakhil itu jauh dari Allah, jauh dari Surga, jauh dari manusia dan dekat kepada neraka. Sesungguhnya orang bodoh yang dermawan lebih dicintai oleh Allah dibandingkan orang `alim tetapi bakhil."

IdeasLab, the entrepreneurial and innovation hub at University of Galway, has announced the winners of its student entrepreneur Start100 competition. Start100 for University of Galway entrepreneurs Damien Delaney, a first-year Psychology student from Birr, Co Offaly and the owner of Hology Photography secured the top prize and a €5,000 award for his visual-based app called FocusZen which enables individuals to use photography as a form of meditation and a way of enhancing their wellbeing. Final year Bachelor of Commerce student David Garvey from Glenamaddy, Co Galway, received the One to Watch award and a prize fund of €1,000 for Arclo, an innovative clothing brand bringing t-shirts to life using augmented reality technology. Most Engaging Pitch went to Claudine Mulihano, a first-year Podiatric Medicine student from Dundalk, Co Louth, and her idea StepWise, a smart insole designed to tackle the foot condition plantar fasciitis using Bluetooth technology to transmit real-time biomechanics data to healthcare practitioners. Alongside the three main prize winners, one of the Start100 judging panel, Paul Merriman, chief executive of Fairstone, pledged to give student Emily Donellan from Maree, Co Galway €2,000 in funding for her podcast Start Right, a by-student, for-student podcast that offers tailored advice and guidance to young people transitioning from secondary school to college. Start100 offers students an intensive six-week programme, where ten teams refine their business model and present at a special showcase, bringing their innovative business ideas to a panel of judges from the worlds of academia, research, and enterprise. The competitions is designed to empower early-stage student startups. During the process the teams are introduced to speakers from different industries, experts in entrepreneurial development both regionally and nationally, and Start100 alumni who have successfully started their own businesses. Each team is matched with a mentor in a relevant field, ensuring they receive the advice and the support they need to take their idea to the next level. Professor Peter McHugh, University of Galway's Deputy President and Registrar, said: "University of Galway plays an important role in nurturing innovation and growth within our region and beyond. Start100 is an example of how the connections we foster with industry cultivate innovative leadership skills in our students, and provides them with the space and supports to develop ideas with the potential for broader societal impact." Méabh Conaghan, Regional Director for the West and North-West Regions, Enterprise Ireland, said: "Programmes that encourage and support student entrepreneurship at all levels are crucial to a vibrant start-up ecosystem.

And Fr Gerry and Stephen get to have their coffee and chat together.

Seit Februar kann das Reservekraftwerk keinen Strom liefern. Grund: ein Brand in einem Unterwerk in der Nähe. Ursprünglich wollte Netzbetreiberin Swissgrid den Schaden so schnell wie möglich beheben. Aber es wird Juni. Die Reparatur dränge nicht, es habe genug Strom, sagen die Verwantwortlichen. Weiter in der Sendung: * Zofingen: Der Mann, der am Mittwochnachmittag diverse Passantinnen und Passanten attackiert hatte, ist ein 43-jähriger Spanier. Die Behörden gehen davon aus, dass er psychisch gestört ist. Einen terroristischen Hintergrund habe die Tat nicht. * Dulliken/Obergösgen: Die beiden Gemeinden wehren sich gegen den Plan der Regierung, die Buslinie Dulliken-Lostorf einzustellen. Sie sagen, diese sei wichtig für Schülerinnen, Senioren und Pendlerinnen. * Baden: Der Stadtrat will wissen, ob die Bevölkerung am 1. August noch ein Feuerwerk will oder nicht. Sie hat deshalb eine Online-Umfrage gestartet. Man wolle eine «zeitgerechte Entscheidung treffen, ohne die Tradition zu vernachlässigen».

"Wie sind Sie hier reingekommen?" ist nicht nur ein Zitat aus einem Film von Loriot, sondern auch der Titel des neuen Romans von Kabarettist, Musiker, Lesebühnen-Autor und Schriftsteller Tilman Birr. Er erzählt darin von einem jungen Mann, der mit 20 aus der Provinz nach Berlin zieht und sich hier durch einen Zufall mit Vicco von Bülow anfreundet – ohne zunächst zu wissen, dass er es mit dem berühmten Komiker Loriot zu tun hat. Das Buch ist ein witziger Ritt durch die Nullerjahre in der Hauptstadt, ein Berlin-Roman, eine Satire und eine Loriot-Hommage. Nadine sagt: "Ich musste wirklich mehrfach laut loslachen beim Lesen". Sie ist mit Tilman Birr zum ehemaligen Wohnhaus von Loriot gegangen und hat mit ihm über Humor, Lesebühnen, Berlin und Bücher gesprochen. Der Autor: Tilman Birr, geboren 1980 in Frankfurt (Main), zog im Jahr 2000 nach Berlin. Studium der Geschichte und Anglistik, war mal Stadtführer, ist Liedermacher, Lesebühnen-Autor, Poetry Slammer, Schriftsteller und Kabarettist. 2012 erschien "On se left you see se Siegessäule – Erlebnisse eines Stadtbilderklärers". "Wie sind Sie hier reingekommen?" ist sein viertes Buch, aber sein erster Roman. Mit der Lesebühne "Prunk und Prosa" ist er regelmäßig in der ufa-Fabrik in Berlin zu erleben.

What does it do? Did someone build it? At first, I thought someone must have, like Mount Brighton, Michigan. But no. The glaciers made it, a gift to the far future as these ice walls retreated and crumbled. It is the highest point for 200 miles in any direction.Before skiing, Native Americans used the hill as a vantage to stalk deer drinking from Crystal Lake. Thus the name. It has probably been “Buck Hill” for hundreds of years. Maybe thousands. Now the lake is covered in ice-fishing shanties all winter, and the hill is hemmed in by an interstate on one side and housing developments on all the rest. And the hill, 45 acres of fall line that erupts from seemingly nowhere for seemingly no reason, is covered with skiers.Good skiers. I am enormously fond of the Midwest's blue-collar ski scene, its skiers on rental gear in hunter-orange jackets, rat-packing with their buddies as a hootalong thing to do on a Wednesday night. This does not exist everywhere anymore, but in the Midwest skiing is still cheap and so it still does. And these rough fellows dot the slopes of Buck. But they don't define the place like they do at Spirit or Nub's Nob or Snowriver. Because what defines Buck Hill is the shin-guard-wearing, speed-suit wrapped, neon-accented-even-though-neon-has-been-over-for-30-years squadrons of velocity-monsters whipping through plastic poles drilled into the snow.It can be hard to square smallness with might. But England once ruled half the world from a nation roughly the size of Louisiana. Some intangible thing. And tiny Buck Hill, through intention, persistence, and a lack of really anything else to do, has established itself, over the decades, as one of the greatest ski-race-training centers on the planet, sending more than 50 athletes to the U.S. Ski Team. Credit founders Chuck and Nancy Stone for the vision; credit confused-upon-arrival Austrian Erich Sailer (“Where's the hill?” he supposedly asked), for building the race program; credit whatever stalled that glacier on that one spot long enough to leave us a playground that stuck around for 10,000 years until we invented chairlifts. Buck is a spectacular amalgam of luck and circumstance, an improbable place made essential.What we talked aboutBuck Hill's brand-new quad; party up top; the tallest point in 200 miles; Chuck and Nancy Stone, who started a ski area on a farmer's pasture; a glacier's present to skiers; the hazards of interstate-adjacent snowmaking; why the resort's founders and long-term owners finally sold the bump in 2015; Erich Sailer and Buck's incredible ski racing legacy; Lindsay Vonn; a perfect competition center sitting just outside of 3 million front doors; experiments in year-round skiing; the lift fleet; taming the electric bills; Buck's Great Parking Puzzle; the Indy Pass; why Buck chose Indy Pass over Ski Cooper; and $49 for a weekend lift ticket.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewA skier dropping into Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport can find skiing within half an hour in any direction. East to Vail-owned Afton Alps, north to city-owned Como Park, west to Hyland Hills and what are perhaps the fastest ropetows in America. I chose south, to Buck Hill, on a sunny Sunday last February.It was a mistake. I circled the parking lot, then circled the neighborhood beside the parking lot, then circled the parking lot again. Nothing. So I drove to Welch Village, where people on the chairlift kept asking, in a borderline accusatory way, why I would travel to Minnesota from New York, on purpose, to ski.The answer is that I value novelty and quirk more than brand-name and stoke (at least when it comes to ski areas; as an adherent of both Taco Bell and Miller Lite, I have a Basic Bro Deluxe side as well). But also because I have this ski newsletter and podcast, whose vitality is based at least in part on a commitment to examining the entirety of American skiing.I made it back to Buck Hill on Thursday, my last stop before I boarded my flight home to LaGuardia. This time, I parked without issue. I was in no mood for a challenge, and Buck Hill was in no position to offer one. Sightseer skiing. I cruised around and watched the park kids and the racer kids and the little kids trickling in after school. It felt like stumbling into a gymnasium with basketball practice on one court and volleyball practice on the next one and track practice on the elevated lanes above. In other words, not like any version of skiing I had ever seen before. It felt purposeful, focused, deliberate; the opposite of the improvisational exploratory sort of wandering that anchors my own skiing.All of which makes complete sense to anyone indoctrinated to the Buck Hill Way. But I'd gone in blind, poking the nearest ski hill into the GPS and seeing what turned up. It turned up something pretty special, and I wanted to get the full story.Questions I wish I'd askedI'd meant to get into Birr's new blog, “Notes from Nate.” Check it out here.What I got wrongI suggested that Wilmot, Wisconsin was a manufactured hill, like Mount Brighton, Michigan (which is made of landfill from the construction of two nearby freeways, I-96 and US 23). This is incorrect: Wilmot's 194 vertical feet are the result of the same glaciation process that formed Buck Hill.Why you should ski Buck HillI have never seen anything like Buck Hill. I have seen ski areas with race courses and terrain parks and mogul fields, of course, because most ski areas have most of these things. But until I pulled into Buck's parking lot last February, I had never seen these things stacked side-by-side, end-to-end, with such deliberate precision, like crops rowed along a hillside. The halfpipe has its own lift. The terrain park has its own lift. The race course has its own lift. The mogul run has its own lift. These are a combination of chairlifts and high-speed ropetows, utilitarian machines with a workmanlike purpose: pump athletes up the hill hundreds of times in a row.It's less mechanized than I'm making it sound. Like a coffee shop that can sometimes host evening concerts, Buck Hill takes many forms. And despite the racer troops constantly bunching around all parts of the hill, Buck is often just a bunch of people sitting around drinking lattes. I free-skied there for a few hours without getting yelled at, which frankly is less common than you would think, given my general curiosity and willingness to loosely interpret ambiguous signage. But the fall lines are steady and consistent. Looker's right hosts a fabulous beginner area, with an incomprehensibly long carpet that rides into a tunnel and over a bridge. I rode it just for fun.I can't say that the skiing is terribly interesting. Buck lacks the rollicking nooks and crannies of nearby Afton Alps and Welch Village. It's so small that I imagine it being a first-hand-up candidate if we ever start panic-converting our outdoor ski areas into indoor ones. There's just not a lot to do or explore. But one of the most common mistakes we make as skiers is trying to wish a ski area into something it can never be. This is why so many New Yorkers refuse to ski New England after taking that first trip west. But they're missing so much of what Vermont is by obsessing over what it is not.Buck, rote, repetitive, and tiny, is exactly perfect for the market it serves: beginners, racers, freestylers, and their families. All the on-hill hubbub can make it hard to hang out, but find a moment to linger at the summit, to gaze at the frozen lake below, at the placid Midwest rolling off into forever. It's not the greatest ski area you'll ever find, but it is a singular, spectacular place in a very specific way. If you can find a parking spot.Podcast NotesHere's a little feature on Buck Hill from Minnesota BoundAnother from Midwest skiersOn the SolnersI kept referring to “things the Solners said they wanted to do” when they bought Buck Hill back in 2015. I mined that info from various sources, but this article from Hometown Source is a good overview:[The Solners] envision a year-round business with plastic slopes for warm weather, an indoor training center, a mixed-use entertainment and retail development beneath floors of hotel rooms, and a hilltop restaurant and banquet center reached via “chondola.”“It's a combination of chairlift and gondola,” said Don McClure, who's worked at Buck Hill for 40 years. …The first piece may be laying a plastic “dry slope” product called Neveplast on part of the hill. Lessons, clinics, team training and general recreational use could be extended year-round.Solner said dry slopes haven't caught on widely in North America, though he skied on a plastic jump in his hometown of Middleton, Wisconsin.A training gym with indoor ramps and foam pits is also envisioned. Solner said he saw one a couple of years ago in Colorado. He later approached McClure with the idea, and “conversations led to where we are today,” Solner said.The owners also envision a microbrewery, coffee shop and retail stores, with a hotel above the ground-level uses.Outdoor concerts are part of the plan, with an amphitheater of about 1,500 seats — the size of the Minnesota Zoo's.On Erich SailerWhile transforming Buck Hill into an internationally renowned racing center was the vision of founders Chuck and Nancy Stone, it was Erich Sailer who actually executed the transformation. Here's an excellent video on his legacy:On the M.A.X. PassI've written often about the M.A.X. Pass, which Ikon mercilessly crushed beneath its Godzilla feet in 2018. The partner list was just terrific:On founder Nancy Stone's Buck Hill history bookMrs. Stone's book is called Buck Hill: A History, Let's Give It a Whirl. I can't find a print edition for sale anywhere (perhaps they sell it at Buck Hill).On snowmaking and proximity to the freewayBirr sent me this photo of the warning signs MDOT lights up on Interstate 35 when Buck Hill is making snow:On Lindsay VonnThe Olympic gold medalist's fondness for Buck Hill is well-documented. The feeling is mutual – the ski area dedicated a ropetow to its most famous alum in 2019:The world may know her as Lindsey Vonn, but the Minnesota community that watched her grow into one of the greatest ski racers in history still remembers little Lindsey Caroline Kildow climbing up Buck Hill's simple rope tow. Vonn, the daughter of a local ski racer Alan Kildow, got her own racing start at the Burnsville ski area at a young age. Patrons remember seeing her soaring down the hill when she was only 2 years old, and just five years later she began riding up the rope that will now bear her name.On September 23rd, at her home hill of Buck Hill, in Burnsville, Minn., Lindsey's ascent to the top of her sport was recognized formally, with the official naming of "Kildow's Climb" rope tow. "All of us at Buck Hill are very happy and excited to honor Lindsey by renaming our lift on the race training hill in her name," said Dave Solner, owner of Buck Hill.September 23 was also declared “Lindsey Vonn Day” in Burnsville, Minn."Obviously being from Buck is not the most likely of paths to become Olympic downhill champion, but I think I proved that anything is possible" said Vonn at the ceremony. "So, for all of you kids that are still racing here, just keep believing in yourself and anything is possible. And listen to Erich (Sailer), even though he's not always around anymore, but he's probably still yelling from somewhere. I wanted to name the rope tow after my family. My grandfather was the one who taught us how to ski. He built a rope tow in Wisconsin, and started my dad skiing, and the whole family. Then my dad taught me, and Erich taught my father and taught me. Kildow is my family name, and I wanted my family name to stay here at Buck, so 'Kildow's Climb' is here to show you that anything's possible."On that long magic carpetMan this thing is so cool:On the concentration of ski areas around the Twin CitiesI'll reset this chart I put together for the Trollhaugen podcast last year, which shows how densely clustered ski areas are around the Twin Cities:On warm-weather outdoor skiingWe talk a bit about Buck's experiments with warm-weather skiing. There's actually a whole year-round ski area at Liberty University in Virginia that's built on something called Snowflex. I don't count it in my official ski areas inventory because there's no snow involved, but it's pretty neat looking. Kinda like a big skate park:On energy efficiencyWe talk a bit about Buck Hill's energy-efficiency initiatives. This Dakota Energy profile breaks down the different elements of that, including snowmaking and lighting efficiency.On In Pursuit of Soul IIProduced by Teton Gravity Research, In Pursuit of Soul II features Buck Hill and seven other Midwest ski areas: Lutsen, Granite Peak, Nordic Mountain, Tyrol Basin, Little Switzerland, The Rock Snowpark, and Caberfae Peaks. It's awesome:On the Ski Cooper controversyBirr and I briefly discuss Buck Hill getting caught in the crossfire of an Indy Pass/Ski Cooper dispute. I'm not going to reset the whole thing here, but I wrote two long articles detailing the whole fiasco over the summer.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

“Yoksa onların mülkten bir nasipleri mi var? Öyle olsaydı insanlara zerre miktarı bir şey vermezlerdi.” (Nisâ 53) “Bu âyette de Yahudileri, cimrilik ve haset etmekle vasfetmiştir. Cimrilik, bir kimsenin, Allah'ın kendisine vermiş olduğu nimetlerden hiç kimseye hiçbir şey vermemesidir. Hased ise, insanın, Allah'ın başka kimselere hiçbir nimet vermemesini temenni etmesidir. Binaenaleyh, cimrilik ile hased kendisinde bulunduğu kimselerde, Allah'ın başkalarına nimet vermemesini isteme hususunda müşterektirler. Buna göre cimri olan kimse, kendinde olan nimeti başkalarına vermez; hased eden kimse de, Allah'ın, başka kullarına hiçbir nimet vermemesini ister. Cenâb-ı Hak o âyeti bu âyetten önce getirmiştir; çünkü insanın, "kuwet-i âlime" (bilme kuvveti) ve "kuwet-i âmile" (yapma kuvveti) diye iki kuvveti vardır. Kuvvet-i âlime'nin kemâli, ilim; noksanlığı ise, cehalettir. Kuvvet-i âmile'nin kemâli, güzel ahlâk; noksanlığı ise, kötü ahlâktır. Noksanlık itibariyle kötü ahlâkın en şiddetlisi de, cimrilik ile haseddir. Çünkü bunlar, Allah'ın kullarına birçok zararın dönüp gelmesinin menseldirler. Cimriliğin ve hasedin sebebi, cehalettir. Sebep, müsebbebten (neticeden) önce olur. İşte bundan ötürü Cenâb-ı Hak, cimrilik ve hasedden önce cehaleti zikretmiştir. Cimriliğe gelince, bu şundan dolayı böyledir: Malı harcamak, nefsin tezkiyesinin (temizlenmesinin) ve âhirette mutluluğu elde etmenin sebebidir. Malı harcamamak ise, dünya malının insanın elinde birikmesinin sebebidir. Binaenaleyh cimrilik, seni dünyaya bağlayıp, âhiretten alıkor. Cömertlik ise, seni âhirete davet edip, dünyadan alıkor. Dünyayı âhlrete tercih etmek ise, sırf cehaletten dolayı olur. Hasede gelince, bu şundan dolayı böyledir: Hanlık, nimet ve lütuîları kullara ulaştırıp, onlara ihsanda bulunmaktan ibarettir. Binaenaleyh bunu hoş görmeyen, sanki Allah'ı, hanlıktan azletmek istemiştir. Bu ise, sırf cehaletten neş'et eder. Binaenaleyh cimrilik ve hasedin asıl sebebinin, cehalet olduğu sabit olmuş olur. Cenâb-t Hak önce cehaleti zikredince, peşinden müsebbeb (netice) de sebebin peşine zikredilmiş olsun diye, cimrilik ve hasedi zikretmiştir. Allah Teâlâ, o mel'un yâhudilerin, Kureyş müşriklerine "sizler, mü'minlerden daha doğru yoldasınız" dediklerini nakledince, bu ifâde üzerine, "Yoksa onların mülkten bir hissesi mi var?" ifâdesini atfetmiştir. Yahudiler, "Biz, mülke (hükmetmeye) ve nübüvvete daha lâyıkız. Binaenaleyh biz, Araplara nasıl tâbi oluruz?" diyorlardı. Bundan dolayı Cenâb-ı Hak bu âyetle, onların bu görüşlerini iptal etmiştir. Ayrıca, mülk üç kısımdır: a) Sadece, zahire malik ve hükümran olmak. Bu, meliklerin (padişahların) mülküdür. b) Sadece bâtına mâlik ve hükümran olmak. Bu da, âlimlerin mülküdür. c) Hem zahire, hem de bâtına hükümran olmak. Bu ise, peygamberler (a.s)'in mülküdür. Cömertlik, mülkün ayrılmaz bir parçası olunca, şu huyların herbirinin, insanların kendilerine uymalarının ve emirlerine sımsıkı sarılabilmelerinin sebebi olması için peygamberlerin son derece cömert, keremli, merhametli ve şefkatli olmaları gerekir. Bütün bu sıfatların en mükemmeli, Hz. Muhammed (s.a.s)'de bulunmaktadır.” Razi “Birinizin ayağı takılıp yere düşerse şeytana lanet okumasın, çünkü şeytan, kendisinin ciddiye alındığını düşünür ve sevinir. Bu durumda Bismillah deyin ki şeytan küçüle küçüle kayıp olup gitsin.” (Müsned, 5/59) "İki haslet vardır ki müminde bir arada bulunmazlar: Cimrilik ve kötü ahlak." (Tirmizi, Birr, 41; Buhari, Edebü'l Müfred, 282) "...Cimri kişi Allah'a uzak, Cennet'e uzak, insanlara uzak ve Cehennem ateşine yakındır" (Tirmizî, Birr, 40). İnanç dediğimiz şey bazı fikir ve düşüncelere olan bağımlılıktır. Onları kesin doğrularımız olarak görürüz. Annemiz bize geçmişte bir şey söylemiştir; "sobayı elleme, elin yanar" denemiş veya denememiş ama deneyen birisini gözlemlemişizdir ve gerçekten de eli yanmıştır. Biz onu çok sağlam bir şekilde kodlarız, artık sobayı ellemeyiz.

Nothing beats visiting other gardens for inspiration and learning, and in this week's Gardeners' Corner, presenter David Maxwell asks three of his regular experts to choose one of their favourite gardens. Those featured include RHS Bridgewater near Manchester which opened in 2021. It's not only one of the newest public gardens, but it is also one of the biggest garden projects undertaken in the UK in the last century. For Maurice Parkinson, it offers multiple layers of interest. David and Maurice meet curator Marcus Chilton-Jones and Garden Manager Tracey Snell as they tour the walled garden and the Chinese streamside garden. Birr is County Offaly can get the coldest and the warmest temperatures in Ireland, and it's also where you will find an impressive collection of trees at Birr Castle Demesne. For Ann Fitzsimmons it will always be a special place as she spent many happy months working there after deciding to change career. Up in County Donegal, Brendan Little only has to go a stone's throw from his home to find some of the gardens on the Donegal Garden Trail. He chooses Greenfort as his favourite which enjoys stunning views of Lough Swilly and uses shrubs to create year round interest and a low maintenance garden.

One third of Wyvern Lingo, Caoi De Barra released her debut solo EP Thicket at the end of summer 2022 after the Choice-nominated band announced they were going on hiatus earlier in the year. Fresh off a European and UK tour playing drums with the Grammy-nominated Allison Russell, Caoimhe talks about her new single Treehouse and her second scooter tour of Ireland. Treehouse is about the housing crisis, which De Barra says leaves her feeling trapped in a perpetual state of adolescence, where the concept of being a self-sufficient artist seems as lofty as building a dwelling up a tree - “It's really letting my petulant inner child do the problem solving”, she says. Speaking about the scooter tour, De Barra says “Exploring the backroads, towns and villages of Ireland on my 125 cc scooter feels extremely peaceful and enriching to me. Less practical than a car, but low on fuel usage, and almost as romantic as travelling on horseback. On top of that I have the privilege of performing my songs for people in the places I go to, immediately immersed in the local arts scene. The scooter tour for me is the perfect solo quest.” Tour dates: FRANKS PLACE, WEXFORD, July 13 IMMA GARDEN PARTY, DUBLIN, July 15 LIVE AT 1868, DUNGARVAN, July 16 WOODFIELD CAFE, BIRR, July 20 POPPY LANE SESSIONS, KINVARA, July 21 POT DUGGANS, ENNISTYMON, July 22 COUGHLANS, CORK, July 23 PRIMS BOOKSHOP, KINSALE, July 26 DE BARRA'S, CLONAKILTY, July 27 ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH, WATERVILLE, July 30 DOLAN'S, LIMERICK, Aug 2 THE GREEN ROOM, DINGLE, Aug 3 ARUNDELS BY THE PIER, AHAKISTA, Aug 9 MONROES, GALWAY, Aug 11 THE MUSIC LOOM, KILLYBEGS, Aug 12 THE HARBOUR BAR, BRAY, Aug 17 THE FUMBALLY, DUBLIN, Aug 18 Tour dates + ticket links: https://campsite.bio/caoidebarra Buy Caoi De Barra - Treehouse at her Bandcamp page: https://caoidebarra.bandcamp.com/

Trotz wiederholter Warnungen seiner Lehrerinnen befolgte der 16-jährige John die Schulordnung nicht. Er wurde vom Unterricht ausgeschlossen. Ohne Schulabschluss musste sich der Teenager dem Ernst des Lebens stellen. Heute, mit 28 Jahren, schaut John auf diese Zeit zurück. «Sowohl in der Schule als auch daheim fühlte ich mich fremdbestimmt. Alle übten Druck auf mich aus», sagt der heute 28-jährige John Bürki rückblickend auf seine Zeit in der Sekundarschule im aargauischen Birr. Sein streng gläubiger Stiefvater versuchte es zuerst mit gutem Zureden, später mit Schlägen. Nachdem der Jugendliche nach einer Sachbeschädigung, Drogenkonsum sowie weiteren Vorkommnissen erwischt wurde, verwies man ihn von der Schule. Ohne Abschluss begann für den damals 16-Jährigen eine Zeit ohne Orientierung. Als er die Rekrutenschule absolvierte, erwachte der junge Mann. Er entschloss sich, für sein Leben die Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Reporter Hanspeter Bäni begleitete John bereits 2011 durchs letzte Schuljahr und ging nun der Frage nach, was aus dem ehemaligen Schulversager geworden ist.

In this episode, I discuss Financial Inclusion in Ethiopia and Eritrea with Kal Kassa of Bitcoin Birr & Bitcoin Nakfa. I first became aware of Kal in an article called Check Your Financial Privilege by Alex Gladstein for Bitcoin Magazine. Kal is in the media business and a daily user of bitcoin using the lightning network. After studying at Chapman University, he returned to his native Ethiopia where he began his career in Business Advisory for privatization clients making investments into the country. Today, Kal manages various bitcoin-centric initiatives between San Jose, Austin, and Addis Ababa. Bitcoin Birr and Bitcoin Nakfa have received millions of satoshis in donations from NFL player Russell Okung and Ray Youssef, CEO of Paxful. Join us for this entertaining look into financial inclusion and how the lightning network facilitates small, cross-border transactions.
