Deedar a Mustafa صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ka aik wazeefa aur hadees ki ru se waqia
ایک یہودی عالم کا حسرت دیدار مصطفیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا ایک خوبصورت واقعہ....
سیدنا ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے وصال مبارک کے بعد کسی ایک جمعرات کی صبح کو ہم بیٹھے ہوئے تھے کہ اونٹ پر سوار ایک سفید ریش بوڑھا آیا۔ اس نے اپنی سواری کو مسجد کے دروازے پر باندھا اور یہ کہتے ہوئے اندر داخل ہوا :
’تم پر سلامتی اور اللہ کی رحمت نازل ہو، کیا تم میں اللہ کے رسول محمد(صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) موجود ہیں۔‘‘
حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ نے فرمایا :
’’اے حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے بارے پوچھنے والے! تجھے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے کیا کام ہے؟‘‘
اس نے کہا کہ میں یہودی علماء میں سے ہوں اور اَسی (800) سال سے تورات کا مطالعہ کر رہا ہوں۔ اس میں متعدد مقامات پر اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنے نبی محمد(صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) کا ذکر بڑی تفصیل سے کیا ہے اور میں اس ذکر سے متاثر ہو کر آیا ہوں۔ اس نے سلسلۂ کلام جاری رکھتے ہوئے کہا۔
’’اور میں آپ (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) کے ہاتھ پر بیعتِ اسلام کیلئے حاضر ہوا ہوں۔‘‘
حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ نے اسے بتایا کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کا تو وصال ہو چکا ہے۔ اس پر اس عالم نے افسوس کا اظہار شروع کر دیا اور کہا :
’’کیا تم میں ان کی اولاد ہے؟‘‘
حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ نے حضرت بلال رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہا کہ اسے سیدہ فاطمہ رضی اﷲ عنہا کے پاس لے جاؤ۔ وہاں جا کر اس نے اپنا تعارف کروایا اور اس خواہش کا اظہار کیا کہ میں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے کپڑوں میں سے کسی کپڑے کی زیارت کرنا چاہتا ہوں۔ حضرت سیدۂ عالم رضی اﷲٰ عنہا نے اپنے شہزادے امام حسین علیہ السلام سے فرمایا :
’’وہ کپڑا لاؤ جو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے بوقتِ وصال پہنا ہوا تھا۔ جب وہ کپڑا لایا گیا تو اس عالم نے اسے اپنے چہرے پر ڈال لیا۔ وہ اس کی خوشبو کو سونگھتا اور خوشبو سونگھتے ہوئے بار بار کہتا کہ اس صاحبِ ثوب پر میرے ماں باپ قربان ہوں۔‘‘
اس کے بعد حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ سے مخاطب ہو کر کہنے لگا :
’’حضور کے اوصافِ جمیلہ کا تذکرہ اس طرح کرو کہ گویا میں انہیں دیکھ رہا ہوں۔‘‘
یہ بات سن کر حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ اپنے جذبات پر قابو نہ رکھ سکے۔
’حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ شدت کے ساتھ رو پڑے اور کہنے لگے : اے سائل خدا کی قسم! آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی زیارت کا جس قدر تجھے اشتیاق ہے مجھے اس سے کہیں بڑھ کر اپنے حبیب صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی ملاقات کا شوق ہے۔‘‘
بعد ازاں سیدنا علی المرتضیٰ رضی اللہ عنہ نے حضور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے حلیہ اور سراپا مبارک کا ذکر بڑی تفصیل سے فرمایا، جس کی من و عن تصدیق اس یہودی عالم نے سابقہ کتب سماوی کی روشنی میں کی اور مسلمان ہو گیا۔
(Pابن عساکر، تهذيب تاريخ دمشق الکبير، 1 : 342، 343)

Todays Nuclear powers of world documentry
August 9, 1945
Nagasaki Nuclear explosion estimated deaths:75000August 6,1945
Hiroshima Nuclear explosion estimated deaths:135,000Explanation:
Since these World War 2 attacks, nuclear weapons have become even more powerful.The Hiroshima bomb produced an explosion of 15 kilotons. One Kiloton equals the explosive power of 1,00 tons of TNT.
If it was detonated in New York city's Times Square,this is what it would look like.
The radius of the effected area would be almost a mile long. This yellow circle indicates the radiuse of the explosion's fireball. Within the red circle, fatalities are near 100%, and all concrete structures are damaged
or demolished. Within the dray circle,most residential structures are destroyed,most residential structes are destroyed and there are massive injuries and fatalities.The orange circle indicates the area in which 3rd degree radiation burns occur.
But the sheer destructive power of that explosion pales in comparison to the largest thermonuclear weapon
currently in the United States' arsenal- THE B83. Created in the late 1970s.
The B83 can produce an explosion upto 1,200 kilotons which is 80 times the Hiroshima explosion.
Thats the explosive power of 1.2 million tons of TNT.
Id dropped on New York City, the radius of the effected area would be 7 miles.
Then there is the 1954 operation Castle Bravo-the largest nuclear power ever tested by Uited States.
It produce 15,000 kilotons esplosion which over 1000 times more powerful
than the Hiroshima bomb.
Today, there are estimated 14,900 nuclear weapons in the world.
If not for the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty 0f 1963, we might have even more powerful
bombs today.

Parents and son Story, The giving tree
Once upon a time in a village, there was an old man named Jerry. He hadn’t seen his son for few years and wanted to meet his son who lived in a city. He started his journey and came to a city where his son used to work and stay. He went to the place from where he used to get letters long back. When he knocked the door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son. Unfortunately, someone else opened the door. Jerry asked, “I suppose Thomas should be staying in this place.” The person said, “No! He had left the place and shifted to a different location.” Jerry was disappointed and just thinking how to meet his son.
He started to walk in the street and the neighbors asked Jerry, “Are you looking for Thomas?” Jerry responded by nodding his head. The neighbors gave the present address and office address of Thomas to the Jerry. Jerry thanked them and started towards the path which will lead to his son. Jerry went to the office and asked at the reception counter, “Could you please tell me the location of Thomas, in this office?” The receptionist asked, “May I know how you are related to him?” Jerry responded politely by saying, “I’m his father.” The receptionist said, Jerry to wait for a moment and rang up to Thomas and conveyed the same. Thomas was shocked and told the receptionist to send his father to the cabin immediately.
Jerry entered the cabin and when he saw Thomas, his eyes were filled with tears. Thomas was happy to see his father. They had a simple conversation for a while and then Jerry asked Thomas, “Son! Mom wants to see you. Can you Come home with me?”
Thomas responded, “No father. I can’t come. I am very busy working for my success and it’s hard to manage a leave to visit as my hands are full with loads of stressful work .” Jerry gave a simple smile and said, “Okay! You may do your work. I’ll be going back to our village today evening.” Thomas asked, “You can stay for few days with me. Please.” Jerry responded after a moment of silence, “Son. You are busy with your tasks. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or become a burden for you.” Continued, “I hope if ever had a chance to meet you again, I would be happy.” He left the place.
After a few weeks, Thomas wondered why his father came alone after a long time, he felt bad for treating his father in a weird manner. He felt guilty for it and took a leave in office for few days and went to his village to meet his father. When he went to the place where he was born and grew up, he saw that his parents were not there. He was shocked and asked the neighbors, “What happened here? My parents have to be there. Where are they now?” The neighbors gave the address of the place where his parents are staying.
Thomas rushed to the place and noticed that the place was like a graveyard. Thomas eyes were filled with tears and started to walk slowly towards the place. His father Jerry noticed Thomas in a far distance and waved his hand to draw his attention. Thomas saw his father and started to run and hugged him.
Jerry asked, “How are you?” and continued, “What a surprise to see you here. I didn’t expect that you would be coming to this place.” Thomas felt ashamed and kept his head down. Jerry said, “Why are you feeling bad. Has anything wrong happened?” Thomas responded, “No father” continued, “It’s just I never knew that I would be seeing you in this position in our village.”
Jerry smiled and said, “I had taken a loan when you moved to a city for your college to pay for your education, then again when you wanted a new car, but due to a loss in farming, I couldn’t repay the loan. So I thought of approaching you for a help, but you were very busy and stressed with your work. I just didn’t want to burden you with this problem and remained silent and I had to let go of our home to repay the loan.”
Thomas whispered, “You could’ve told me. I’m not an outsider.” Jerry turned around and said, “You were very busy and stressed with your work which made me remain quiet. All we wanted was your happiness. So I kept quiet.”
Thomas started to cry and hugged his father again. He apologized to his father and asked to forgive him for his mistake. Jerry smiled and said, “No need for that. I’m happy with what I got now. All I want is that you spare some time for us, we love you very much and at this old age it’s hard to travel to see you often.”

Pakistan atomic power secret and developemnt
Widely criticized by the international community, Pakistan maintains that its nuclear program is for self-defense, as deterrence against nuclear India. A former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, offered justification for Pakistan’s nuclear program when he said that if India were to produce a bomb, Pakistan would do anything it could to get one of its own. It has always been maintained by Pakistan that a nuclear threat posed to its security can neither be met with conventional means of defense, nor by external security guarantees.
|
After the tit-for-tat nuclear explosions, the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution urging India and Pakistan to halt their nuclear weapons programs. The United States and other Western states imposed economic sanctions against both the countries. The U. N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan, urged both the countries to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which Pakistan agreed to sign if India did the same.
After the tests, both sides declared that they had completed their series of nuclear testing and both announced a moratorium on future testing. Pakistan announced the moratorium on June 11, 1998, and offered to join in new peace talks with India. Even long before these tests, Pakistan has time and again proposed for a nuclear weapon-free zone in South East Asia.

Lose weight with these 8 little changes
1. Spice up your coffee. With cinnamon, that is. Sweetening your drink with a dash of cinnamon instead of sugar and sugary creamer can save upward of 80 calories per drink.
2. Have egg-y French toast (or pancakes). Order your eggs over-easy, and use that delicious egg yolk to add moisture to your breakfast — no butter or syrup needed! You’ll get a bonus boost of protein, too. Need some recipe inspo? Try this egg-topped Protein-Rich Cherry French Toast,with no added sugar.
THE 14 HEALTHIEST ITEMS AT YOUR FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS
3. Make hummus your new favorite condiment. Next time you have a baked potato, top it with hummus instead of butter. “Don’t dismiss this until you have tried it,” Keri Gans, RDN, author of “The Small Change Diet,” told Fox News. “Creamy hummus adds a lot of flavor to a baked potato, with a lot less calories than butter.” That’s 77 calories less per Tablespoon, to be exact. “The bonus is you also get fiber and protein from the chickpeas,” Gans added.
4. Turn on slow jams during dinner. “The speed of music influences how fast we eat,” Christy Brissette, MS, RD, owner of 80 Twenty Nutrition in Toronto, told Fox News. “Quick-serve restaurants sometimes use this trick to get people in and out of their seats faster.” Playing slow music could have the opposite effect — helping you eat more slowly and realize you’re full faster.
WHAT TO ORDER AT OLIVE GARDEN IF YOU'RE ON A DIET
5. Vinegar down your salad dressing. Dilute your favorite salad dressing with balsamic vinegar. “You’ll pucker up for the intense flavor, while practically slashing your calories in half,” Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, author of “Read It Before You Eat It” told Fox News.
6. Eat fragrant cheese. Yes, this means you can eat cheese and lose weight! “But choose the super flavorful varieties so a little goes a long way,” Brissette advised. “Try Manchego or Parmesan, so just a sprinkle adds tons of flavor to your salad or pasta.” You won’t need those big chunks of cheese you might be tempted to add when using less flavorful versions.
7. Add beans to Bolognese. “I am a die-hard meat lover, but I love to add black beans to a Bolognese so I can reduce the amount of chopped sirloin used,” Gans said. This not only cuts calories — it also adds health benefits from the beans, like helping to decrease your risk of heart disease.
8. Mix your drink differently. In lieu of tonic water, use club soda as a mixer for your next drink. It contains zero calories, whereas tonic water has 124 calories per 12 ounces.

Trump, Argentine President Macri hold White House talks 27.04.2017
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump welcomed Argentine President Mauricio to the White House for talks on Thursday and said they'll end up being "great friends, better than ever before."
Trump puts great stock in the relationships he's building with his foreign counterparts, and has spoken extensively in recent weeks about the "chemistry" he says he built with Chinese President Xi Jinping after their talks earlier this month at Trump's private estate in Florida.
A red carpet and military honor guard awaited Macri as his motorcade pulled up the driveway to the South Lawn entrance of the White House, where Trump and first lady Melania Trump greeted Macri and his wife, Juliana Awada. The men patted each other's backs as they turned and went inside. The couples then walked along the colonnade to the Oval Office, ladies first.
Trump described Macri as "my good friend for many, many years." Asked how long that was, Trump replied: "Long time."
In the Oval Office, Trump again raised their personal friendship. "We're going to be great friends, better than ever before," he said.
Macri spoke briefly about his desire for strong relations with the U.S.
Argentine journalists in the room asked about lemons. The Trump administration recently postponed a decision by former President Barack Obama to lift a 16-year ban on imports of Argentine lemons, stalling the return of imports from one of the world's top producers of the citrus fruit.
Trump and Macri met first in the Oval Office and then sat down with their delegations for a working lunch. The two already enjoy a personal relationship from their days as businessmen, ties both hope to leverage to boost U.S.-Argentina relations.
The White House said when it announced Thursday's visit that the leaders would discuss how to deepen relations between their countries. Trump and Macri are also expected to confer on a range of bilateral and regional issues, including trade, security and Venezuela's deteriorating political situation.
Trump said "it's very sad to see what's happening" in Venezuela, where tens of thousands of Venezuelans have taken to the streets over the past month to protest against socialist President Nicolas Maduro. They blame Maduro for triple-digit inflation, hours-long lines to get food, shortages of medical supplies and a rise in crime. Protesters have clashed with security forces, which have used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds, and looting has destroyed dozens of businesses.

8 Vintage Beauty Trends Making a Fashion
Sometimes it is good that the past repeats itself.
In 2017, there’s one thing we can predict about fashion and beauty trends, without a doubt: Everything that once was trendy and fashionable will eventually come back in style again. Although innovation and technology have allowed us to create brand-new ideas, there are some styles and practices that are just worth keeping around. Oftentimes, we may think a suddenly popular beauty look is a new concept; however, ask your grandmother about it and she’d probably tell you it’s nothing new, maybe just going by a different name. We love that some of these old-fashioned beauty trends—makeup looks, skin care routines, and hairstyles—are making a comeback now in a major way. Here are 8 of our favorites.

Red Lipstick
A swipe of red lipstick instantly gives off a classic Hollywood look. After the 1950s, nude, bright pink, and darker lipstick hues reigned supreme. But in the last 10 years or so, we’ve been glad to see a resurgence of this vibrant lip color that works on every skin tone, all year round.

Full Brows
Big, full eyebrows are nothing to be ashamed of these days as the trend in beauty moves more and more toward embracing what you were born with. Personally, we never thought they were, but 1990s Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow would probably disagree. Classic movie stars like Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Marilyn Monroe embraced and even accentuated their full, shaped brows in the 1950s, and contemporary movie stars like Lily Collins and Cara Delevingne are making full, almost bushy brows enviable yet again.

Contouring
You might think this makeup technique was invented by Kardashian-era celebrities, but the concept of using multiple tones of makeup to create dimension to your face is really nothing new. Iconic beauty Grace Kelly was known to use two shades of blush—one serving as a highlighter—to help emphasize her cheekbones, especially when being captured on camera.

White Eyeliner
This is another makeup technique that’s become popular again in recent years—especially with social media stars who put a lot of emphasis on how they will photograph (see: contouring). Lining the rim of your eyes with white eyeliner literally extends the whites of your eyes, making your eyes look bigger and brighter. And 21st century screen stars are not the first to figure this trick out. Some of Hollywood’s first starlets used this technique nearly a century ago.

Dermablading
This might be a surprise to many people, but dermablading (a fancier word for shaving) one’s face has actually recently resurfaced as a legitimate skin care method. Some women do it to get rid of that thin layer of peach fuzz on their faces, and others say it’s actually a very good exfoliant. Rumor has it that Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor were both supporters of this unique process.

Night Masks
Grandma knew what she was doing with her Pond’s Cold Cream, and all the night masks and overnight hydrating creams you see more of in the drugstore or makeup counter now are serving the same purpose, just by a different name and appearance. Hydrated, glowing skin is always in style.
The Bob
In the early 20th century, this chin-length hairstyle was initially daring, but within a few years, extremely popular. Movie stars of the time like Marlene Dietrich were known for their finger waves and just-below-the-ear haircuts. A bob isn’t the easiest hairstyle to maintain for every hair type, and while many women have worn this cut in the past 100 years, it has regained mass popularity in recent years, especially in its slightly longer form, which has been coined the lob.

Headscarves
Wearing a scarf around your head is not only a fashionable accessory, but can also be very practical for protecting your perfectly coiffed hair from wind or rain. Headscarves were very popular from the 1940s to 1970s, with the style of scarf and way it was worn changing some, but they fell out of popularity in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Now, though, silk scarves are back, and being worn turban-style, Rosie the Riveter-style, or as a simple headband—all are a nod to the vintage eras that inspired them.
