Ibn Sina Abu Ali al-Husayn (980-1037)
A few days ago, I was in hospital where my little brother was admitted. Now Alhamdulillah my brother is Alright, and I am thankful to Allah Almighty. There in hopital I saw a wall pic of Abu Ali Sinna and his works and I had been looking his pic for a long clock time and now I decided to write on his work and to publish it in my blog. The list of his work is too long but I am giving a short idea of his gainings and what he gave us by the help and blessing of Allah Almighty.
Islam's most renowned philosopher-scientist Ibn e Sina or Latin name Avicenna, and full name Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Addullah ibn Sina "prince of physicians'' Born in Afshana in the district of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, ibn Sina, was the son of a Royal government official. The family soon moved to the city of Bukhara, the capital of the province, known throughout the Islamic world as a center of learning and culture. Ibn Sīnā studied medicine under a physician named Koushyar. Avicenna was a very precocious youth; by the age of 10 he had memorised the Quran and most of the Arabic poetry which he had read. At thirteen, Ibn Sina began a study of medicine that resulted in 'distinguished physicians. There Avicenna began his studies and by the age of 16 had mastered not only natural science and rudimentary metaphysics but also medical theory, having read, by his own account, all the books written on this subject Masha Allah. The sultan of Bukhara appointed Avicenna as one of his physicians, who then had access to the sultan's vast library. By the time Avicenna was 18, he had read all the books. An early work written by Avicenna was an encyclopedia that included all branches of knowledge except mathematics; it ran to 20 volumes . Avicenna is considered the greatest Arab physician today."
He wrote two of history's greatest works, 'KITAB AL SHIFA ''The book of healing'' is a scientific encyclopaedia which covers logic, the natural sciences, psychology, geometry, astronomy, arithmetic and music and The AL - CANOON of Medicine, an encyclopedia based on the teachings of Greek physicians, Medicine, pharmacology, physical exercise: the key to health, psychology, unani medicine . The latter was widely used in the West, where Ibn-Sina, known as Avicenna. He stresses the importance of gaining knowledge, and develops a theory of knowledge based on four faculties: sense perception, retention, imagination and estimation.
His philosophical theory is a comprehensive, detailed and rationalistic account of the nature of God and Being, in which he finds a systematic place for the corporeal world, spirit, insight, and the varieties of logical thought including dialectic, rhetoric and poetry. Alhamdulillah Ibn Sina was a polymath of Persian origin and the foremost physician and philosopher of his time. He was also an astronomer, chemist, geologist, Hafiz, Islamic psychologist, mathematics, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, logician, paleontologist, Maktab teacher, physicist, poet, scientist, philology and zoology, as well as poems and an allegorical work.
When not satisfied with merely a theoretical understanding of medicine, he began to treat the sick, obtaining empirical knowledge in this manner and also effecting remarkable cures. Avicenna had difficulty earning a livelihood after the sultan's death, and at the age of 22 he left Bukhara and wandered westward. At Jurjan, near the Caspian Sea, Avicenna lectured on logic and astronomy and wrote the first part of the Canon, his most significant medical work. He then moved to Ray (near modern Teheran), where he established a busy medical practice. There he is believed to have composed about 30 of his shorter works.
Ibn Sīnā's Canon of Medicine provides a complete system of medicine according to the principles of Galen.
George Sarton, an early author of the history of science, wrote in the Introduction to the History of Science:
One of the most famous exponents of Muslim universalism and an eminent figure in Islamic learning was Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna.His most important medical works are the Qanun (Canon) and a treatise on Cardiac drugs. The Qanun fi-l-Tibb' is an immense encyclopedia of medicine. It contains some of the most illuminating thoughts pertaining to distinction of mediastinitis from pleurisy; contagious nature of phthisis; distribution of diseases by water and soil; careful description of skin troubles; of sexual diseases and perversions; of nervous ailments.
In metaphysics, Ibn Sina makes a distinction between essence and existence; essence considers only the nature of things, and should be considered apart from their mental and physical realization. This distinction applies to all things except God, whom Ibn Sina identifies as the first cause and therefore both essence and existence. He also argued that the soul is incorporeal and cannot be destroyed. The soul, in his view, is an agent with choice in this world between good and evil, which in turn leads to reward or punishment.
He wrote almost 450 treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. In particular, 150 of his surviving treatises concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine. His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Louvain as late as 1650.
Avicenna also made a number of discoveries related to astronomy. For example, he deducted from his observation of Venus crossing the surface of the Sun that Venus must be closer to the Earth than the Sun. He also correctly postulated that light travels at a finite velocity.
Avicenna sought to integrate all aspects of science and religion in a grand unified philosophy. With this philosophy he attempted to reconcile the natural science of the day with religious law, the organisation of state and metaphysics and to answer the question of the ultimate destiny of man.
Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Addullah ibn Sina "prince of physicians'' was died in died at Hamadan, in Northern Persia on December 10, 1037 (aged 56–57). May Allah Almighty keep his soul in peace and rest. Aameen Suma Aameen
Flood In Pakistan 2010
Man gets so much busy in his work that he forgets the adverse clamities of the Nature because he does not know what will be next. Pakistan was crawling for water, now every where is water but disastrous. This may be a gift from nature for Pakistani Nation who has forgot Allah Almighty and He Almighty showed that He has not forgot it. Whenever nature wants to remember human his greatest power, such happenings occur.
Ramzan ul Mubarak was near and people were waiting to welcome it, children were playing, and farmers were waiting to get prize of their hardworking when their crops were near to harvest. Suddenly a claimity in the shape of flood came in Pakistan.
The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 after record heavy monsoon rains that are now considered to be more damaging than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; the massive earthquake in 2005 in Pakistan and the 2010 Haiti 
earthquake. The loss of this single flood 2010 Pakistan is more than combined loss of all above three clamities. In this flood more than 1600 people were killed and thousands were rendered homeless, and about 15 million people were affected in which 6 million are children.According to official data, 1 588 people have been injured, 352 291 people have been rescued, more than 722 000 houses have been damaged and almost 2 million people have been left without a shelter.Estimates from rescue-service-officials suggest the death-toll may reach 3,000 victims. Officials have warned that the death-toll could rise as many towns and villages are not accessible and communications have been disrupted. In early August, the heaviest flooding moved 
southward along the Indus River from severely-affected northern regions toward western Punjab, where at least 1,400,000 acres (570,000 ha) of cropland was destroyed, and the southern province of Sindh. The crops affected were cotton, sugarcane, rice, pulses, tobacco and animal fodder.
Doctors from the region have stated that the dirty flooding waters, as well as the lack of drinking water and the bad sanitation, have caused infections like stomach problems, chest infections and skin problems. They have also warned about eventual outbreak of various epidemics, the BBC has reported.
Different countries are doing help by providing money aid and providing diffirent services to Pakistan but that is not enough. This aid can not give people back their home in same condition, every thing has been destroyed and they have to build their homes again; have to grow their crops again, it will then when they will be able to go back to their land and will provided enough aid. But water is still their 
and because of dirty water different deseases are affecting people The flood water is running forward and destroying more areas.
It is time to bow to Allah Almighty in a row and seek help from him. Everyone should do for affected people as well as one can if we want to save our country.
May Allah Almighty bless Pakistan. AAMEEN SUMA AMEEN!
CHILD LABOR IN PAKISTAN
My this new post about increasing child labour in Pakistan, their is need to overcome it so that knowledge can reach to every one rich and poor equally to become a perfect man or woman; the human being can use its wisdom to explore the hidden facts if Universe; and also the human beings can finds the original purpose of their creation and can prove their capabilities and abilities that Allah Almighty blessed them and also can prove why Allah pak gave them the title of Naib Of Allah and why Allah Pak almighty ordered ibleece to bow to Adam. Allah Almighty has given human beings the wisdom and discretion to think upon the signs of the universe and to draw conclusions. That is the reason why they disclose the hidden facts of it and its structure and have made remarkable progress in many walks of life.
Children are the flowers of heaven. They are the most beautiful and purest creation of God. They are innocent both inwardly and outwardly. No doubt, they are the beauty of this world. Early in the morning when the children put on different kinds of clothes and begin to go to schools for the sake of knowledge, we feel a specific kind of joy through their innocence. But there are also other children, those who cannot go to schools due to financial problems, they only watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge.It is due to many hindrances and difficulties; desperate conditions that they face in life. Having been forced to kill their aspirations, dreams and other wishes, they are pressed to earn a living for 
themselves and for their families. It is also a fact that there are many children who play a key role in sustaining the economically life of their family without which, their families would not be able to make ends meet. These are also part of our society who have forgotten the pleasures of their childhood. When a child in addition to getting education, earns his livelihood, this act of earning a livelihood is called as child Labour. The concept of child Labour got much attention during the 1990s when European countries announced a ban on the goods of the less-developed countries because of child Labour.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines child Labour as:
1- when a child is working during early age
2- he overworks or gives over time to Labour
3- he works due to the psychologically, socially, and materialistic pressure
4- he becomes ready to Labour on a very low pay
In Pakistan children aged 5-14 are above 40 million.3.8 million children age group of 5-14 years are working in Pakistan out of total 40 million children in this age group; fifty percent of these economically active children are in age group of 5 to 9 years. Even out of these 3.8 million economically active children, 2.7 million were claimed to be working in the agriculture sector. Two million and four hundred thousand (73%) of them were said to be boys.
Rural children are mostly engaged in the agricultural sector (74 per cent), whereas in urban areas, most working children (31 per cent) are engaged in the manufacturing sector. In both areas, the percentage of girls working in manufacturing and services is higher than that of boys; this indicates that girls are more likely to work in the manufacturing and services sectors as compared to boys. It is also observed that in the non-agricultural sectors, most of the working children (93 per cent) are engaged in informal activities.
It is an outcome of a multitude of socio-economic factors and has its roots in poverty, lack of opportunities,. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) the daily income of 65.5% people of Pakistan is below 2 U.S. dollars a day. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Report, 47 million people in Pakistan are leading lines below the line of poverty, whereas the Social Policy Development Centre (SDPC) Karachi has stated in one of its reports that the ratio of poverty in Pakistan was 33% during 1999 that increased in 2001 and reached 38%. The ratio of poverty in the current year is around 30%.
Consider the point that if 30% of our country’s total population is leading life below the poverty-line wherein the people are deprived of basic necessities of life like clothing, shelter, food, education and medication, the children of these people will be forced to become Labourers or workers in order to survive.
One-third of the working children are literate, which shows that mere completion of primary education is not an effective deterrent to child labour. School enrolment indicates that economically active children who are not enrolled in school (34.2 per cent) are higher than economically active children combined with school (13.2 per cent). This shows that enrolment is negatively correlated with the involvement of children in economic activity. Education attainment is low because of limited opportunities resulting from inaccessibility of schools; inability of parents to afford schooling costs; irrelevance of school curriculum to real needs, and restrictions on girls' mobility in certain parts of the country.
According to survey findings, the major factors responsible for child labour were:
*Villages lack standardized education systems
*Class-based education system is another reason for increasing child Labour
*There is no aid plan or allowance for children in our country.
*No security of socaial life
*Unemployment in country
*Uneven distribution of wealth and resources, outdated social customs and norms and plethora of other factors
*Large population with high population growth rate
*Almost three-fourths (70 per cent) of the total population living in rural areas, with subsistence agricultural activities;
*Low productivity and prevalence of poverty
*Unpaid family helpers, especially in agricultural activities
*Discriminating social attitude towards girls and women
*Inadequate educational facilities
*The government has not put its laws into practice to stop child Labour in our country
The steps that should be taken to remove child labour:
The present government in Pakistan has made elementary education compulsory. Along with this, the government has distributed free books in primary schools so that parents, who cannot afford their children’s school expenses, send their children to schools. The major point is that this decision must be acted upon at all levels. There is strict need to stop child Labour in this country.
*Security of social life must be provided.
*Awareness must be raised and the attention of parents ought to be diverted to the education of their children.
*Child Labour Laws should be put into practice strictly.
*The educational system of the country-must be reshaped and restructured according to national development goals.
*Socia, economical and political structure should be reshaped.
*The orphans and other deserving children must be helped financially on a prolonged basis.
*Good governance should be awake to act all these.
If we succeed to act upon these principles, our country can easily get rid of this problem i.e. child Labour. The agreement that has recently been approved by Pakistan, Norway and ILO to eradicate child Labour must be given importance and we hope that our rulers must put this agreement into practice using all means at their disposal. Inshallah! May Allah Bless Pakistan, Aameen!
Truth in Islam
Truth is a universally recognized virtue without which a man cannot hope to live in peace. The Holy Quran, in many places, emphasise truthfulness and asks the Muslims to practice it. Regarding this attribute of His own, Allah said:
"Whose word can be truer than Allah's?"
That's why the science and all the religions could not proove false even a single verse of Quran.
Allah praised Rasulullah (SAW) when Allah Almighty says:
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
“And indeed you are of a great moral character” (Surah Al-Qalam68: 4).
Rasulullah (SAW) pointed to its importance when he said: “I was sent to perfect honourable morals.”
Truthfulness leads to Piety
Allah has decreed that truthfulness leads to piety, so whoever loses their truthfulness will in turn lose their piety. Allah Pak says that which translates as:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
“O’you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true.” (Surah At-Tawbah9: 119).
Truthfulness is an Essential attribute of every single Prophet
Quran says that all the prophets of Allah were truthful. They derived this quality from Allah and then endeavored to spread it throughout the world. About truth, Holy Prophet SAW said; "Truth saves, whereas falsehood destroys". Truth according to the Quran has a much wider meaning than merely spoken truth. It also means that one should be truthful at heart and truthful in actions.
As for the Next Life, through God’s Grace and Mercy, the obedient ones - practitioners of truthfulness - will reach a station in Paradise alongside those most fortunate of souls mentioned in the revelation.
“And whosoever obeys God and His Messenger, such will be in the company of those whom God has blessed: the Prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent a company are such people!” (Quran 4:69)
In fact, truthfulness is an essential attribute of every single prophet who graced the earth. We are told in the Quran:
“And mention in the Book, Abraham: surely he was a most truthful Prophet.” (Quran 19:41)
“And mention in the Book, Ishmael: surely, he was a man true to his word, and he was a Messenger, a Prophet.” (Quran 19:54)
“And mention in the Book, Enoch: surely he was a most truthful Prophet.” (Quran 19:56)
We also read in the Quran how a man incarcerated alongside the Prophet Joseph addressed him with the words:
“Joseph! O most truthful one!...” (Quran 12:46)
“The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother (Mary) was a truthful one, a Believer….” (Quran 5:75)
… and the Companions of God’s Messenger, the “believers” mentioned time and time again in the Quran, also reached the lofty ranks of the truthful ones:
“The believers are but those people who believed in God and His Messenger without ever feeling doubt thereafter, and strove with their souls and possessions in the way of God; those are the ones who are the truthful.” (Quran 49:15)
Hadees e Mubaraka, mafhoom “Guarantee for me six things and I will guarantee Paradise for you: tell the truth when you speak, fulfill your promises, be faithful when you are trusted, safeguard your private parts, lower your gaze, and withhold your hands (from harming others).”
In addition, one must uphold what one believes to be true. A truthful man is, therefore, one who not only speaks the truth, but also supports and exemplifies by this deed and actions what he believes to be true. A man, who is honest and truthful, is respected by the society. In this connection, the greatest symbol of human greatness, the life of the Holy Prophet SAW is there to guide us.
“May Allah make us those whose speech is that of the truth, Aameen Suma Aameen”
