Corona Scare

Dear Muslim Brothers, 

As Covid-19 has been declared as a pandemic, alhamdulillah India is still safer than other countries from its effect.
As a Muslim a greater responsibility is assigned by our prophet (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago to take precautions of such pandemics. 

Some people think the current Quarantine system as some kind of punishment for healthy humans because even healthy people are not allowed to move out and they feel they will catch the virus by staying in the same location.

I would like you to remind about the hadith of our prophet (peace be upon him);

"If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place. (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim.)"

It means you should not leave the place even if you are healthy because the chances are you might be the carrier of the virus of that plague which may spread to other locations if you leave the place(even though you don't show any symptoms).

The basic precautions "WHO" has suggested by keeping our hygiene and regular washing of hands is been taken care by we Muslims who pray 5 times a Day. Alhamdulillah we don't have to remember to wash hands and face. It has been inbuilt in our culture by the one and only Almighty God. 

We completely rinse the important and open parts of our body in the form of wuzu 5 times a day just before our prayers, that includes our Mouth, Nostrills, Ears, Face, Eyes, Hands and Feet. These are the parts that mostly come in contact at the public places which may have a chance to catch the Virus. 

There 2 more things I have observed which we need to take care of;

1. Avoid using public Towels in Masjid :- Most of the Masjids have a public towels to wipe of the wet hands and face after wuzu (spiritual cleansing). All those who have been using it un-intentionally without the knowledge, please avoid it especially from now onwards because no body knows who will be carrying the virus.

2. Avoid making wuzu in the 'Hoz': Use the running tap water to make wuzu rather than the Hoz during this pandemic. We may not know how frequently the water is been replaced in the hoz.

I believe for now if we take these two precautions, inshaallah one and only almighty God will protect us from this deadly virus.

And if by chance if you have been tested positive for this virus, do not panic.
Our prophet (peace be upon him)in order to make sure that the plague doesn't spread out to other locations established a wall around the area of the plague and promised those who are patient and stay in the area of the plague with the reward of the martyrs, and those who run away from it were promised doom and perdition.

So as a Muslim our faith tells us to be patient during this pandemic.

May the one and only Creator of this entire universe and all that is within it, the most merciful and compassionate, protects all the humanity from this deadly virus and give patience to those who have been afflicted by this calamity and reward them in the hereafter.

Aameen

Chennaiyaa... :D

When I came to Chennai and joined the company, I wasn't aware that I'll be in the city among aliens speaking alien language, or saying in a better way, I wasn't aware that I'll be an odd one out. Like every fresher joining a new company, I was doing the same, greeting everyone, smiling at an eye contact, trying to befriend people. Days passed, I was assigned to project, I made friends but still I felt disconnected. The reason was, everyone around me talked in the language Alien to me, i.e. 'Tamil'. The Technical discussion also usually happened in Tamil, they cracked jokes in Tamil, and also laughed in Tamil. :P When all this was happening, I felt an urge to learn Tamil. I started learning with some basic stuff like counting numbers, 1: Oru , 2: Randd , 3: moonre , 4: naal , 5: aanj , . . . 10: pattu , " Unga peru enna? "(What is your name?), "Evalavu? " (How Much?) and my favourite " Teri Yaad Tamil " which mea...

#NetNeutrality

15 August 1995, a day when India celebrated its 48th Independence was another revolutionary day in the history of India when Indians got access to free information all over the world via Internet and within 6 months ten thousand people took access to this free information. Today there are 243 million users who are connected to this network called the Internet. After all these years of using internet for free have you ever imagined, what would you do if you are charged for sharing your status on Facebook? Whom are you going to complain if Wikipedia took a very long time to open up when you have to complete your project the next day? Where will you go if you are forced to pay for viewing videos on YouTube. What other best alternative will you have when you are not allowed to use Google to search content on the Internet. That will be a black day in the history of India for every technocrat, every student, every person who has an urge for sharing or gaining information which ...

Brainy Walk

Any one using a Windows computer will know some basic features of the system, like My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, and many more... I would like to share one of the nice feature of this powerful device, comparing it with our real life example. It is the "Recent Documents" which helps us to keep a track of all the recent activities we did, like stored a file, viewed a file, played a song, some movie etc... Reaching office this morning, I was wondering how God carefully designed our brain, considering the smallest details which help us to remember things, keep track of them, and triggers it to remind us of certain events, that happened in past. I was walking to office from my Home in Chennai to my Office. It is a 15 minute walk. But in these 15 minutes, my brain observed things which I was discussing the previous day with my roommate. I was walking casually thinking how to solve some problem in the code, but No sooner I saw some lady, my eyes automatically started...
