ILM NEWS FOCUS

We are constantly charmed by advances in technology, science and education every day. Looking closely we see the attraction of advances and development but on the other hand we also see the world going towards a loss.

Virtues in society appear to have moved backwards with the advent of selfishness, materialism, aggression and society dividing into further groups of colour, creed, religion, cast, nation, language and so on. Further divisions can take place in cities, groups and provinces. People and society have been divided by these factors in order to give a social structure and educate and civilise people, by bringing them closer to a common cause.

Old philosophers and scholars, who talked about life and research of it, have said that humans are moving towards disadvantage and injury to mankind.

The United Nations aim to unite nations and the world peace organisation, NATO, claims to be the forerunner for peace.

But more wars have been started in the name of peace by these institutions than by aggressive or dangerous people around the world. Yes they have helped to avert danger although not wholly prevented genocide and civil wars, but with agendas based around profit, oil and regional control, wars in the name of peace have been started.

The world aspires to end hunger, but instead has ended

the feeling of hunger. Today’s advanced nations, if told about hunger, poverty and hunger in the world, leads the new generation to be shocked as if they have been told there is no water on the moon. Many of our youth struggle to understand the notion of hunger and the idea seems so alien to them.

How can we compare crime statistics of a developed country to an undeveloped nation? Undeveloped nations are synonymous with crime which is often a result of poverty and lack of opportunities. Statistics will always highlight a bigger crime ratio in these nations, but if we look a little closer and take out the ideas of advancements in policing, the deterrents available to prevent crime and the number of security and bodyguards, then the equation will give us a clearer picture of the crime in the western world.

It’s easy for anyone to picture how the map would look then, but has humanity advanced or rather corrupted society.

ILM magazine aims to raise thoughts in society to educate, and promote health, friendship, behaviour and tolerance.

We want to make a positive impact by bringing positive aspects that will help us to learn the lessons from history but to maintain the balance of respect and value of humanity.

We believe that without ethics and virtues, mastery over the sciences can not only devoid its value, but hazes the insight. It has been said that, `knowledge is the thickest of veils', which prevents man from seeing reality.

Britain’s Ten Best Selling Cars Of All Time Ford announced its Fiesta was now the biggest selling car of all time, overtaking the now defunct Escort into poll position.

Data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, which it started collecting in 1965, shows there have been 4,132,294 Fiesta sales to the end of June 2014, outstripping the 4,105,192 Escorts shifted in its 32 year lifespan.

But what other cars have proved most popular over time? Well, it seems British motorists prefer to stick with some tried and tested brands - in the top ten list, there are only four manufacturers – four models are from Ford, three from Vauxhall, two from Rover and one from Volkswagen.

It’s no surprise that the Fiesta tops the list. It consistently heads monthly sales list data from SMMT, however, it has been given a leg-up by the fact that Ford has not changed its name. The Escort on the other hand found its name discontinued with the Focus introduced in its place if you add the two been added together they would come out top.

Other popular motors still being manufactured find themselves in the all-time top selling list including that Ford Focus, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Golf - all of which also consistently feature in the SMMT monthly list for sales.

We reveal the full list below alongside the number sold up until the end of June 2014.

1.Ford Fiesta - 4,132,294 units sold 2.Ford Escort 4,10w5,192 3.Vauxhall Astra 2,845,357

4. Ford Cortina 2,589,351

5. Vauxhall Corsa 1,829,581 6. Vauxhall Cavalier 1,816,529

7. Volkswagen Golf - 1,813,373

8. Ford Focus - 1,769,687

Islamic Gemstones Gemstones have had an important place in many religions for centuries. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Bible refers to twelve stones set in the breastplate of the high priest, symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel. In Hinduism, nine gemstones are identified as corresponding to the nine planetary Gods in Vedic astrology.

People believe in the power of stones from Islamic history and others may see it as just a superstition. In Islam, a practice of wearing gemstones developed from hadiths associated with Ali (as), the cousin and son-in-law of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the first convert to Islam. There is a tradition that Ali (a.s) wore four rings on his hand with four different gemstones, expressed by the Arabic names Aqiq, Yaqut, Feruz and Hadid Theen.

However it is Sunnate Muakkedah (highly commendable) for men and women to wear ring rings on the right hand.

ibn 'Abbas said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah )pbuh) tell 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) to wear an Aqiq ring on his right hand because those who wear it have a quality that Allah (SWT) has given to those who are close to Him." 'Ali (a.s) asked the Prophet (pbuh) "Who are those who are close to Allah?"

The Prophet (pbuh) replied "Jibraail, Mikhaail and the angels between them."

'Ali (a.s) asked "What kind of Aqiq should I wear?"

The Prophet (pbuh) replied, "Choose the red Aqiq because the mountain of the red Aqiq testified that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah.”

Aqiq (sometimes spelled Aqeeq) refers to the gemstone Carnelian or Agate. These are available in several colours: white, milky white, yellow, green, black, red, grey, liver colour and many others. The best are the liver colour from Yemen, which are difficult to obtain and expensive. This is generally regarded as the most important gemstone in Islam. The Prophet was said to have worn a silver ring on his right hand with an Abyssinian stone of Carnelian with the stone facing toward the palm. Ali was said to wear a carnelian to protect himself from enemies and misfortune. The benefit of Aqeeq is that it creates joy in the heart, is good for eyesight and it helps illuminate sadness and anger. It is also revered in other religious and has been in use from the time of Hazrat Adam (a.s.). It absorbs the rays of the sun and passes these onto the body and is good for health. Black Aqeeq protects children from envious eyes.

Yakut which refers to the ruby is also sometimes termed for the opal. It is said that Ali wore Yaqut for "beauty and dignity." It has good effect on married life, friendship, loyalty and business.

It protects against hysteria, cholera, plague, rheumatism and heart ailment. Hazrat Imam Ali (a.s.) used to wear one and it is the ring that he gave away to the beggar in the state of ruk'uu.

In Surah Ar Rahman: ‘Ka anna hunnal yaqutu wal marjan’.

Feruz (or Feroza), refers to the gemstone Turquoise. It is said that Ali wore turquoise "for obtaining divine help and victory." There is an Islamic tradition that if a person prays to Allah while wearing rings set with Feruz and Aqiq, Allah does not turn the prayers down unanswered. It is said that Feroza helps to create joy in the heart, helps improving eyesight, brain and the heart. The best quality of Feroza are found in Nishapur (outside Mesh'had), Iran but they are also available in Australia, Afghanistan, America, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Nepal and Tibet. The community holds a Feroza wearer in esteem. The Holy Prophet (pbuh)said that Allah (S.W.T.) accepts the prayer of one who wears Feroza. If calamity were to befall on the wearer, the stone would break. When this happens, the ring should be immediately be removed.

Hadid Theen is believed to refer to the gemstone Hematite.

It is said that Ali wore this gem for strength. The Islamic lore cautions against wearing hematite constantly; instead it should be worn for protection when confronting a tyrant or oppressor. They come in grey and black colours, but black is better. It is recommended to wear during travels.

Finally, a fifth stone of significance in known as Dur-e-Najaf.

This is a type of quartz or rock crystal from the Najaf al-Ashraf area of Iraq. The belief is that Allah had made this stone easily available so that both the rich and the poor could wear and benefit from it. Those obtained from the river are more illustrious than those obtained from the land. It is good for ailments of the eye and it creates happiness in the heart.

Apart from these highly significant stones are others which are also noted to have specific properties.

Marjan which is coral (usually red coral). In Islamic law it is said to protect paralysis, disease of the heart, liver, stomach and kidney. The Holy Quran refers to this stone in the following two ayats: ‘Ka anna hunnal yaqutu wal marjan’ and ‘Yakhruju min huma lualoo wal marjan’. Marjan and pearls are among the gems obtained from the sea. It is good protection from paralysis, disease of the heart, liver, stomach, kidney and the effects of blackmagic.

Pukhraj which is the yellow sapphire also known as the yaqut asfar. Aids in inspiration or creativity, when put under the tongue it helps with all forms of pregnancy and delivery. Reduces the effect of a poison, increases heat of the body and whoever wears it supposedly never becomes poor.

Zamurrad which is emerald. If the wearer of Emerald eats any poisonous food, immediately sweating will be visible on his face. It is the best stone in all green stones. It is attributed to the Grandson of the Holy Prophet Hassan al-Mujtaba (a.s.).

Hakim Aflatoon has said the wearer of Zamarrud overcomes his enemies. It protects against the ailments of the eyes and liver. It creates joy and peace of mind, promotes goodwill and inclines towards charity. If a calamity is to befall the wearer, it will break into small pieces.

Mohe Najaf (tourmalinated quartz) is also sought after as a power stone. Helps with matters of love and gives positive feelings.

Other stones are Sang-e- Sitara (goldstone); Sang-e-Sulemani,jaza (onyx); Sang-e-Saim (Jade); Baluwr (crystal); Kahab (amber); Almaas (diamond); Zabarjad (topaz); zabarjad zaytuni (peridot); lajward (lapis lazuli). lulu,motee,moti,maraweed (pearl); sadaf (mother of pearl);

THE MOON The Moon (or Luna) is the Earth’s only natural satellite and was formed 4.6 billion years ago around some 30–50 million years after the formation of the solar system. The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The first unmanned mission to the Moon was in 1959 by the Soviet Lunar Program with the first manned landing being Apollo 11 in 1969.

MOON PROFILE

Circumference at Equator: 10,917.0 km Diameter: 3,475 km Mass: 73,476,730,924,573,500 million kg (0.0123 x Earth) Orbits: The Earth Average Distance from Earth: 384,400 km Length of Orbit: 27.3 Earth days Surface Temperature: -233 to 123 °C

Size Of The Moon Compared To The Earth

The dark side of the moon is a myth: In reality both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight however only one face of the Moon is ever seen from Earth this is because the Moon rotates around on its own axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth, meaning the same side is always facing the Earth. The side we see is lit by reflected sunlight, while the side facing away from Earth lies in darkness and has only been seen by the human eye from a spacecraft.

The rise and fall of the tides on Earth is caused by the Moon: There are two bulges in the Earth due to the gravi-

tational pull that the Moon exerts; one on the side facing the Moon, and the other on the opposite side that faces away from the Moon, The bulges move around the oceans as the Earth rotates, causing high and low tides around the globe.

The Moon is drifting away from the Earth: The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our planet every year. It is estimated that it will continue to do so for around 50 billion years.

By the time that happens, the Moon will be taking around 47 days to orbit the Earth instead of the current 27.3 days.

A person would weigh much less on the Moon: The Moon has much weaker gravity than Earth, due to its smaller mass, so you would weigh about one sixth (16.5%) of your weight on Earth. This is why the lunar astronauts could leap and bound so high in the air.

The first spacecraft to reach the Moon was Luna 1 in 1959: This was a Soviet craft, which was launched from the USSR. It passed within 5995 km of the surface of the Moon before going into orbit around the Sun.

The Moon has only been walked on by 12 people; all American males: The first man to set foot on the Moon in 1969 was Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission, while the last man to walk on the Moon in 1972 was Gene Cernan on the Apollo 17 mission. Since then the Moon has only be visited by unmanned vehicles.

The Moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System: At 3,475 km in diameter, the Moon is much smaller than the major moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Earth is about 80 times the volume than the Moon, but both are about the same age. A prevailing theory is that the Moon was once part of the Earth, and was formed from a chunk that broke away due to a huge object colliding with Earth when it was relatively young.

The Moon has no atmosphere: This means that the surface of the Moon is unprotected from cosmic rays, meteorites and solar winds, and has huge temperature variations. The lack of atmosphere means no sound can be heard on the Moon, and the sky always appears black.

The Moon has quakes: These are caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth. Lunar astronauts used seismographs on their visits to the Moon, and found that small moonquakes occurred several kilometres beneath the surface, causing ruptures and cracks. Scientists think the Moon has a molten core, just like Earth.

Phases Of The Moon

The Moon will be visited by man in the near future: NASA plans to return astronauts to the moon to set up a permanent space station. Mankind may once again walk on the moon in 2019, if all goes according to plan.

During the 1950’s the USA considered detonating a nuclear bomb on the Moon: The secret project was during the height cold war was known as “A Study of Lunar Research Flights” or “Project A119″ and meant as a show of strength at a time they were lagging behind in the space race.

FREE Education for all - ILM CITY ILM City Atchison Elementary Public School Rajoya Sadaat is a school which was established in 1994 as private school for local children of Rajoya Sadaat, its a small village in District Chiniot with a population of 35,000, mostly of a poor background.

Villagers are unable to send their children to English medium schools as the fee’s are too high.

Unfortunately in today’s world, education has become a business, almost commercialised. Instead it should be geared towards human development.

When confronted with the injustices and inequalities in the world, we now realise opportunity to any child can give a platform for a great future.

Bringing any child to the fore front of thinking makes us feel positive. Therefore we at ILM feel any institution or education system, whether small or large always contributes to the wider picture.

ents from the burden of paying the fees.

Since 2010 the schools status was change to charity school where all students are now receiving free education, this has giving opportunity to all the less fortunate children who were unable to afford the school fees, can now study for FREE.

We are all fortunate to have been educated but it’s also important to make education accessible to those less fortunate by giving them the necessary opportunity and support. Every child contributes to the prosperity of a nation.

Let The Beauty Of Flowers Help Heal You

Flowers are one of the easiest ways to uplift the mood in our homes. They provide us with a sampling of nature’s wonder and beauty and help us stay connected with the natural world.

The rains give life to a garden, and flowers now look as if they are on steroids. We are surrounded by their beauty and fragrance, not forgetting their not so obvious healing power.

For centuries flowers have been used for medicinal purposes, but in Feng Shui the act alone of surrounding yourself with flowers and placing them in auspicious areas of your home is known to improve your health and increase your energy.

Flowers are living, breathing entities that offer us the balance of nature. Your home and garden reflect your personal energy; when healthy and beautiful; they can enhance and energize you — if diseased and uncared for, they can contribute to draining you.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art that seeks to balance energies within a space to promote happiness, health and good fortune. All of us can benefit from creating a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing environment within our homes. Flowers play an important role in Feng Shui; their strong colours, beauty and life can draw powerful Chi into your home. Fresh flowers are ideal, but artificial ones work as well, as long as they are kept

clean and fresh looking.

Flowers add enhancements wherever you place them, but are especially powerful in two locations: • At your home’s entrance, called “the mouth of Chi,” to welcome the positive energy; and • In the Health/Family/Friends area, to imbue good health.

Enhancements for your front entrance: Welcoming of energy The easiest way to begin shifting the energy in your home is by refreshing your front entrance and adding an abundance of healthy, flowering plants. Enhancing the entrance to your home and garden with healthy plants, water features, greeters and curving walkways is one of the most important things you can do to invite energizing Chi to your life, and enhance any of these three areas.

The word entrance means to “En-Trance” your guests as they enter your home. Make this a beautiful area using the power of flowers.

Enhancements for entrances in Career Area • Soft, colourful, flowering plants; reds are particularly auspicious • Water features such as 360-degree bubbling fountains, or with water flowing toward the house • Pots in shiny, dark colours

• Wind chimes, and curved paths or asymmetrical lines If you’re looking for your career to take off, then you might want to keep a vase of orchids in your home to promote opportunity and success. Orchids are said to be powerful Chi enhancers, so take orchids as a gift for anyone moving into a new home.

Enhancements for entrances in Knowledge and Self-cultivation Area • Colourful, healthy plants with rounded, soft leaves • Wooden benches • Large rocks • Gazing balls, and items that create a quiet, meditative feeling.

Enhancements for entrances in Helpful People and Travel Area • An abundance of white flowers • Statues of birds, sundials • Metal items such as a metal bench Remember that the flowers in your entrance reflect your personal energy. Look to your entrance

to see what’s shifting in your life.

Enhancements for your Health/Family/ Friends Area, and for improving health The energy in your home can help you achieve better health. The Health/Family/Friends area is particularly associated with “strength and good health.” The healthier we are, the more options we have to enjoy life.

Enhancements in this area are particularly helpful if your health needs a boost, or if you’re planning or recovering from surgery. This is a very powerful area, and flowers are especially helpful.

Enhancements for enhancing the Health/ Family/Friends area inside your home or business • Fresh-cut flowers or flowering plants in all colours • Posters, paintings, photos and/or collages of healthy plants and flowers, gardens and landscapes • Items in the colours of blue and green • All floral prints, such as floral linens, upholstery, and wallpaper

• All things made from wood, including furniture and decorations • Quotes, affirmations and sayings pertaining to ideal health and family.

Creating Vision Areas to enhance health

If someone in your home is having health challenges or is going through or recovering from surgery, activating the energy in the Health Area of your home is very important. You can do this easily by: • Decluttering the area • Placing near them a healthy flowering plant or a bouquet of flowers (remember, vibrant artificial flowers work just as well)

THE TSUNAMI THAT IS IMRAN KHAN

We have all grown up seeing the hero and legend that is Imran Khan in the limelight. In a sporting career where he was the hero, and now political career where he is the patriotic leader, we are seeing Imran Khan go from strength to strength.

Imran Khan was born on 25th November 1952 in Lahore, Pakistan. He grew up in Zaman Park (Lahore) where cricket was a great part of his family life.

Education and Career Imran received his early education at the prestigious Aitcheson College, Lahore. Imran Khan proved to be a fine cricketer and made his firstclass test debut for Lahore at the age of sixteen.

He was selected for the Pakistan cricket team in 1970, where he soon made a permanent place for himself. He finished his high school education at the Royal Grammar School in Worcester, England, where he excelled in cricket. He went on to study Economics and Politics at Keble College, Oxford, in 1972, and was captain of Oxford's cricket team in 1974. During the Seventies, Imran became a world-class 'all-rounder' and was rewarded with the captaincy of the Pakistani cricket team in 1981. He was declared international cricketer of the year in 1989-90.

Leading the Pakistan team to lift World Cup in 1992 Imran Khan led the Pakistani team under his captaincy to victory over every other cricketing country in the world. He moulded them into a great team through his skills and understanding and taught them what team spirit was and made the

players give their best instead of just playing for themselves. Imran Khan led Pakistan to numerous victories all over the world, and during his captaincy Pakistan won the world cup in 1992.

Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Imran vowed to build a Cancer Hospital after watching his mother die from the disease, which made him think about how poor people coped during such difficult times.

Birbal’s Khichri

On a cold winter day Akbar and Birbal took a walk along the lake. A thought came to Birbal that a man would do anything for money. He expressed his feelings to Akbar. Akbar then put his finger into the lake and immediately removed it because he shivered with cold.

Akbar said “I don’t think a man would spend an entire night in the cold water of this lake for money.”

Birbal replied “I am sure I can find such a person.”

Akbar then challenged Birbal into finding such a person and said that he would reward the person with a thousand gold coins.

Birbal searched far and wide until he found a poor man who was desperate enough to accept the challenge. The poor man entered the lake and Akbar had guards posted near him to make sure that he really did as promised.

The next morning the guards took the poor man to Akbar. Akbar asked the poor man if he had indeed spent the night in the lake. The poor man replied that he had. Akbar then asked the poor man how he managed to spend the night in the lake.

The poor man replied that there was a street lamp near by and he kept his attention affixed on the

lamp and away from the cold. Akbar then said that there would be no reward as the poor man had survived the night in the lake by the warmth of the street lamp. The poor man went to Birbal for help.

The next day, Birbal did not go to court. The king wondering where he was sent a messenger to his home. The messenger came back saying that Birbal would come once his Khichri(Rice) was cooked. The king waited hours but Birbal did not come. Finally the king decided to go to Birbal’s house and see what he was up to.

He found Birbal sitting on the floor near some burning twigs and a bowl filled with Khichri(Rice) hanging five feet above the fire. The king and his attendants couldn’t help but laugh.

Akbar then said to Birbal “How can the Khichri(Rice) be cooked if it so far away from the fire?”

Birbal answered “The same way the poor man received heat from a street lamp that was more than a furlong away.”

The King understood his mistake and gave the poor man his reward.

The moral of this story is to Understand Things Better.

‘Attar’, ‘Ittar’, ‘Iter’, ‘Itr’ or ‘Othr’ The word 'attar', 'ittar' or 'othr' is basically an Arabic word which means 'scent'; this in turn is believed to have been derived from the Persian word Atr, meaning 'fragrance'.

Attars/Ittars are alcohol-free and are used by many Muslim men and women. Ittar has long been considered one of the most treasured of material possessions and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has been compared to Ittar as one of the most beloved of gifts given to mankind.

Attar is a natural perfume oil derived from botanical sources. Most commonly these oils are taken from the botanical material through hydro or steam distillation. Oils can also be expressed by chemical means but generally natural perfumes which qualify as Ittar/Attars are distilled naturally. The oils obtained from the herbs flowers and wood are generally distilled into a wood base such as sandalwood and then aged. The aging period can last from one to ten years depending on the botanicals used and the results desired.

These all-natural perfumes are highly concentrated and therefore are usually offered for sale in small quantities and have traditionally been offered in decorated crystal cut type bottles or small jeweled decanters. Attars/Ittars are popular throughout the Middle East, the Far East and

India as well as Pakistan. Attars/Ittars have been used in the entire Eastern world for thousands of years. These 100% pure and natural perfumes are free of alcohol and chemicals and so the problems faced in the West by perfume lovers are irrelevant to most Eastern perfume lovers. Natural perfumes are affordable because they are so concentrated that a small bottle will last the user several weeks, if not months. Due to the purity and the nature of oils, there is very little chance of spoilage unless a food based carrier oil is used to cut the concentrated pure oil.

Some of the first lovers of Attars/Ittars were the Mughal nobles of India. Jasmine ittar was the favorite perfume of the Nizams of the Hyderabad state. Traditionally in the Eastern world it was a customary practice of nobility to offer ittar to their guests at the time of their departure. The Attars/ Ittars are traditionally given in ornate tiny crystal cut bottles called as itardans. This tradition of giving a scent to one's guests continues to this day

in many parts of the Eastern world. Among Sufi worshipers the use of Attars/Ittars during meditation circles and dances is quite common.

Warm Attars/Ittars’

Cool Attars/Ittars’

like Rose, Jasmine, Khus, Kewda, Mogra, are used in summers and are cooling for the body.

A major difference between synthetic perfumes and ittar is that the oil-based ittar is worn directly on your body. The inside of the wrist, behind the ears, the inside of elbow joints, back of the neck and a few other parts of your anatomy are directly dabbed with ittar. A small drop is enough to be used as a fragrance on the body. A few drops can be added to water and used with aromatic vapour lamps. A few drops of some Attars/Ittars are used with cold drinks, such as milk, to give fragrance.

Ittar has a permanent shelf life and some Attars/Ittars become stronger and smell better when they are older.
