Ibadat:

Ibadat:

1. Ibadat is the reason behind man’s existence:

Ibadat is the reason behind our existence on the face of the earth. If a student heads to a western country seeking a PhD, and has no other goal than that, we say to him: The reason behind your existence in that country is getting your PhD, and anything serving that purpose is permissible, while, on the other hand, anything distracting you from it is prohibited.

Once you know that the ultimate goal and reason behind your existence on earth is Ibadat, you should choose from the data in your life and whatever is available in your environment that meets your goal, and this is what we call success, this what we call prosperity, and this what we call triumph. The reason for your existence is to worship Allah, in the same way as the reason for the student’s existence in that country is to seek a PhD.

When goals are clear, means get clear too, and I am sorry to say that 97 percent of the youth in the developing countries have no goals and thus lead their lives according to materialistic motivations, temptations, or merely act on impulse.

Knowing the secret and the purpose of your existence is the fundament of everything, and we have been told by the Noble Qur’an that the reason for our existence is to worship Allah Most High, and were it not for this evidence, it could have been a controversial matter. Allah Most High says:

(I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.)

[Surat Al Dhariyat, ayah 56]

HOW TO RUN A DEBUGGER

Step 1 Test the Program

First, run the program that you are attempting to reverse engineer and try to activate it with a random key to verify that you need a valid software key to proceed. This is to verify that we can come up with the keys.

Step 2 Run the Program in a Debugger

1.    Run ollydbg.

2.    Open up the program you wish to bypass with ollydbg.

3.    Click the play button to run the program with the debugger attached.

4.    Right click the CPU window, and click Search For > All intermodular calls.

5.    Search for high interest DLLs. GETDLGITEMTEXT, will be for dialog boxes, which get called when you try to enter a software key. By stepping into the function with the debugger, we can examine the registration specifically. SENDDLGITEM could be used as well.

6.    Test to see which one works to break out of the activation loop by right clicking the DLL call and setting a breakpoint for all instances of that call.

7.    Resume the program and enter any software key you feel like. If the debugger breaks (pauses the program's execution) after entering your key, then you know you found DLL in step 5.

8.    Press F8 back in the CPU window to force the next step until you get to the TEST EAX. EAX is the return of a value, which means that a check is being performed here. Upon examination, we can see that the EAX is checking for a number that is not equal to a null value. This means that if it is replaced with anything other than null, it will run.

9.    Right-click the EAX and change it in hex value to 1, instead of 0.

10. Resume the program again, and you will have successfully activated the program. And for proof it was registered to me:

This works because you are making the process jump from one register and skip the one that verifies the key entered. To exploit the key registration algorithm, keep an eye out for part two of this tutorial on making the key generator. Hooray for assembly!

Is communication the most important creation to mankind?

Is communication the most important creation to mankind?

Let me start with the definition of communication: "the imparting or exchanging of information." What are the types of communication?

• Verbal (speech, singing, shouting)

• Non-verbal (body movement, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions etc)

Why is communication so important?

Firstly the development of language and speech is an exceptional creation, it is used everyday by each and every human being on this planet, nothing else even touches the scale of this kind of value and importance.

Would we be where we are today?

Imagine having millions of generations all over the world which would have to learn absolutely everything from scratch, this is what would happen without any communication.

Furthermore how would we transfer all of our knowledge to the next person, better yet, how would we improve our capacity of knowledge as a whole. We simply wouldn't be able to if we can't share any of our experiences.

Would we continue to advance at all?

Following on how would we be able to create a flourishing adaptive society if everything we want to create cannot be expressed through our thoughts and desires? We could still accomplish great individual feats, but it yields no value if we cannot share it to the next person.

Does our communication allow us to be selective?

The basic building block of all human interaction is communication. But how does this let us be selective? Relationships - ignore the evolutionary standing of natural selection, we can harness and manipulate the intense power of love and be with who we want to be with. Could we do this without communicating though?

The Link Between Culture and Communication

Without the influence of culture this world would be populated with seven billion people who act, speak and live the same.

You cannot create culture without interaction - we'd all look like a blank canvas, we'd not know how to express what we feel, and most of all we wouldn't have any understanding of language and speech.

Individuality & Personality

Our friends and family have a tremendous effect on our personalities, we develop similar attitudes and thoughts which we incorporate into our own lives; this leads on to people often saying "you're just like your brother you are", and other similar examples.

Furthermore, as mentioned in the topic of culture and communication will we really all be a 'blank canvas' without communication? It seems plausible to think we will! We would act just like all the other species out there that you have seen, they all look and act the same because they have no sophisticated means of communication.

What would we be missing out on?

How do you reckon you would live without a couple of these examples:

• Conversation

• Religion

• Art

• News

• Music

• Culture

So, are you familiar with your instincts? Every single piece of information you know has been communicated to you via sharing. Additionally, this article reveals that communication is subconsciously sometimes one of the most overlooked yet immediately important concepts in our lives. What has been passed down over generations and what we will all pass on in the future is of immeasurable value.

But through mankinds effective communication we have determined the growth of this world as we see it.

Zakat [alms giving]

                                THE OBLIGATION OF ZAKAT IN ISLAM

As an obligation upon Muslims, zakah is one of the essential requirements of Islam. If somebody
disputed its obligation, he would be outside of Islam, and could legally be killed for his unbelief unless
he was a new Muslim and could be excused for his ignorance.
As for the one who refrains from paying it without denying its obligation, he would be guilty of
committing a sin. Yet, this act does not place him outside of Islam. It is the ruler’s duty to take zakah
from the defaulter by force and rebuke him, provided he does not collect more than the stipulated
amount. However, in the views of Ahmad and ash-Shaf’i (in his earlier opinion) the ruler could take half
of the defaulter’s money, in addition to the calculated amount of zakah, as a punishment. This view is
based on what Ahmad, anNasa’i, Abu Dawud, al-Hakim, and al-Baihaqi have recorded from Bahz ibn
Hakim all the way back to his grandfather who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be
peace, say: ‘Whether the camels of the zakah payer are grown or baby camels, it makes no difference
in his reward if he gave them willingly. (However,) if someone refrains from paying it, it will be taken
from him along with half his property, for it is a right of our Lord, the Blessed and the Exalted, not a
right of the house of Muhammad.'”
Asked about its chain, Ahmad ruled it good (hassan). Of Bahz, al-Hakim says: “His traditions are
authentic.” Ash-Shaf’i, as alBaihaqi says, did not include it for fiqhi consideration because . . . “this
hadith is not confirmed by the scholars of hadith.”
If some people refrain from paying zakah knowing that it is due and that they can afford to pay, they
should be fought until they yield and pay. Al-Bukhari and Muslim report that Ibn ‘Umar heard the
Prophet say: “I have been ordered to fight people until they say that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger, and they uphold the prayers, and pay the
zakah. If they do this, their lives and properties will be safe, except for what is due to Islam, and their
accounts are with Allah.”
Abu Hurairah is reported to have said: “When Allah’s Messenger, upon whom be peace, died and Abu
Bakr succeeded him as caliph, some Arabs apostasized, causing Abu Bakr to declare war upon them.
‘Umar said to him: ‘Why must you fight these men?’, especially when there is a ruling of the Prophet,
upon whom be peace: ‘I have been called to fight men until they say that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it has saved his life and property from me except when a right
is due in them, and his account will be with Allah.’ Abu Bakr replied: ‘By Allah! I will fight those who
differentiate between salah and zakah because zakah is the due on property. By Allah! If they withheld
even a young she-goat ( ‘anaq) that they used to pay at the time of Allah’s Messenger, upon whom be
peace, I would fight them.’ Then ‘Umar said: ‘By Allah! It was He who gave Abu Bakr the true
knowledge to fight, and later I came to know that he was right.’ ”
The same hadith narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, and atTirmizhi has the following variant: “If they
witheld the ‘iqal, the rope of the camel,” instead of “‘anaq, young she-goat.

Bismillah

Bismillah
Rabbi Zidnee Ilman
“My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”

Ramadan is a month not only when Muslims keep away from food, but everything we do during this month causes us to develop taqwa (piety). The Holy month of Ramadan is where we recharge our Imaan (faith) for the entire year. In this article I will attempt to list out 10 things which we can all do to make our Ramadan this year more spiritual and hopefully some of these things would develop into habits which we carry on with us for the year ahead. You could also print out this article and keep it handy for the month of Ramadan to act as a reminder.

1. Read Quran daily
You will be rewarded 10 rewards for every letter you read.  This prize basically illustrates the weight of the Quran in terms of where it should be in your life.
Ramadan is the perfect opportunity for us to develop a routine, so why not make reading the Holy Quran part of our daily lifestyle choices and why not start in this month?If you read one juz (part) of Quran each day, by the end of the month, you would have completed the entire Quran!
I find it most peaceful to do these recitations after Fajir Salaat in the morning. It is also common to recite Quran between Asr and Maghrib Salaat. Find what works for you, and stick to it.
Reading Quran is more effective in Ramadan because as we fast, we strengthen our consciousness of Allah which allows us to better internalise the teachings of the Quran and align our behavior to these teachings.

2. Pray Sunnah Salaat before and/or after Salaat

“Allah will build house in Jannah for whoever is diligent in observing 12 sunnah rakat (as follows) 4 rakat before and 2 after Dhur, 2 after the Maghrib, 2 after Ishaa, and 2 before Fajr.”
[Tirmidhi]

During this month, there are so many extra blessings we can attain and praying our voluntary prayers before and/or after our obligatory salaat is an easy way to gain these. If we give ourselves the time to pray these extra salaat for this month, then during the rest of months, it would become like second nature to us. Make this a habit, and you would soon feel incomplete in your salaat without your voluntary prayers, and feel so much more spiritual when you complete them; not to mention, your blessings would be increasing and you would feel more accomplished.

3. Increase your remembrance of Allah

“O You who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance”
{Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb33: Verse 41}

This could be as simple as doing dikhr (rememberance) while you’re in the car going to work, or in the check-out line at the grocery. Any and all free time could be the vehicle you use to develop your dikhr of Allah.

A few common things you can say are:
–         SubhanAllah or SubhanAllahwabihamdihi (“I praise Allah (or All praise if to Allah) above all attributes that do not suit His Majesty.”)
It is recorded that the reward for saying this is that a tree will be planted for you in Paradise. Another hadith records that whoever says this 100 times a day, his/her sins will be forgiven even if they were as much as the foam of the sea [Bukhari].
–         Alhamdulillah (“All praise is for Allah.”)
The stated reward for this one is that your scales will be tipped in your favour on the Day of Judgment.
–         La hawlawa la quwwataillabillah (“There is no power or might except (by) Allah.”)
You will enter through a special door in Paradise if you oft use this remembrance.
–          SubhanAllah (x33), Alhamdulillah (x33), Allahuakbar (x34) “I praise Allah (or All praise if to Allah) above all attributes that do not suit His Majesty.  All praise is to Allah.  Allah is Great.”)
This is commonly said after all salaat and before you go to sleep.

4. Give extra charity
In addition to your Zakaat (obligatory charity) you should find a way every day to give extra charity. Feed a hungry child or family; give away some of your clothes to needy people; or even help an elderly person cross the road. The possibilities for charity are limitless. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad salallahualeyhiwasallam, has said that even a smile is charity. The little things would add up and would be a great source of your blessings. Further, the satisfaction you will get from being kind and charitable to others would be a fulfilling experience.

5. Do not engage in unnecessary talk
It has been reported that if someone approaches you and engages in nonconstructive talk, then you say  ‘I am fasting, I am fasting’ and stop it in its tracks. This is a good way to cleanse your thoughts as well. Think positively and talk positively.

6. Visiting a sick Muslim

“There is no Muslim who visits a sick Muslim early in the morning but 70 thousand angles send blessings upon him until evening comes, and if he visits him in the evening, 70 thousand angles send blessings upon him until morning comes, and he will have a garden in paradise.”
[Tirmidhi] 

7. Providing food for breaking the fast

“Whoever provides food for breaking of the fast for a fasting person receives the reward of the fasting person, without the reward of the fasting person being reduced in any way.”
[Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah]

This is an easy way to receive more blessings during this month, while increasing our spirituality.

8. Standing in prayer on Laylatul Qadr

“LaylatulQadr is better than a thousand months.”
{Surat Al-Qadr 97: Verse 3}

The rewards from prayers of this night is equivalent to a thousand months. This is a great opportunity to get closer to Allah and build up your spirituality.

9. Asking Allah to forgive ALL Muslims

“Whoever seeks forgiveness for believing men and believing woman, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman.”
[Tabarani]

This is a powerful way to make the best out of our Ramadan.

10. Attend lectures and events in the Masjid

“Whoever goes to the mosque not desiring except to learn or teach what is good has the reward of a pilgrim who completed his Hajj”.
[Tabarani]

I hope that these 10 things inspire you to make the utmost best of your Ramadan. Remember that the little things add up and every little bit you do counts. Rome was not built in a day, so don’t expect your Imaan to either. Patience and consistency will get you where you want to go.
