Science

They say science is hard & boring. And lesser & lesser students are going into science. But I still hold strongly the need for society to support science. Here is how science benefits us in so many ways:

	Healthcare إذ قال الله ... وتبرئ الأكمه والأبرص بإذني [Q5:110] Research in healthcare treats illness & disabilities, or at least eases the pain, God Wills. Isn't it nice if you're ill there are treatments, or if you're saved from disabilities, or there's hope in new discoveries (like angiogenesis [video]). Medical imaging too helps diagnosis - the first radiology course was given by Marie Curie & Institut Curie still lives. [web] ماشاء الله
	Communication فليصل رحمه [SB8.73.15] The world is now closer. You can be on Facebook, YouTube, Amazon etc. You can pay bills, shop, donate with online banking. Businesses too has gone global. BTW the internet started from the telephone, invented by AG Bell. He was trying to help the deaf, & AG Bell Association still lives. [web] ماشاء الله
	Forensics يهدون بالحق وبه يعدلون [Q7:181] As seen on CSI, a forensic investigator can examine bones to deduce the gender, age, height, race; as well as medical history and manner of death. Blood and bodily fluids can be analyzed. Firearms can be tested. BTW computers can also aid police work, e.g.: photo fit, biometric, simulation etc.
	Search & Rescue ومن أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا [Q5:32] Now, satellite maps help rescue efforts. E.g: Google Earth has been used to locate disaster areas, report seismic activities, monitor hurricanes etc. It can also help in planning the logistics - e.g.: the best routes, aid distribution, reports of the affected people in the area. الحمد لله
	Human Existence أفلم ينظروا إلى السماء فوقهم [Q50:6] The ancient people have been looking at the stars to find direction to travel the oceans & deserts; or predict the coming seasons for agriculture. Now, I love space research bcoz the universe is beyond our imagination which is humbling. It shows how small & fragile we are in this universe. ماشاء الله

Well, I understand that, not everyone is interested in stuffs like these:

It's like an alien isn't it. (>-<) But there are others who love it & understand what it is. & I hope we support them as their knowledge benefits mankind. الحمد لله

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

يؤتي الحكمة من يشاء ۚ ومن يؤت الحكمة فقد أوتي خيرا كثيرا ۗ وما يذكر‌ إلا أولو الألبابHe gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding. [Holy Quran 2:269]

ۚ يرفع الله الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلم درجات... Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees... [Partial Holy Quran 58:11]

Knowledge benefits mankind & the world
Please support knowledge & education, thank you (◠v◠)/
I seek refuge in Allah SWT from errors.
Only Allah SWT Knows Best والله أعلم

Nature Stamps

	Western Sahara | map These birds are the Ibis, Namaqua Dove and Kori Bustard. & Kori Bustard is perhaps the heaviest bird capable of flying. Geographically, the Sahara OCC is a disputed region so these stamps may not be accepted.
	Afghanistan | map These stamps were issued 3 years before their first astronaut, Abdul Ahad Mohmand flew into space. I read when he spoke with his mother, Pashto became the 4th language spoken in space. ماشاء الله
	Cuba | map These birds are the Great Crested Grebe, Weka and Bushwren. So sad, Bushwren is believed to be extinct. & Weka is under legal protection in New Zealand. BTW, I read Cuba is a Carribean island whose natural beauty is preserved due to its isolation.
	UAE | map These flowers look like Calla Lilies, Peonies and Daffodils. & Dh65? Wow... & these are from Sharjah, some using Riyal, so they could be issued before or close to when the UAE was born in 1971.
	Romania | map Maybe the left are Violets, and the middle are Snapdragons. The right? Sorry, somehow I only found the Danube Delta - the second largest delta in Europe & a bird watcher’s paradise. BTW, Romania is famous for the Black Sea & castles. Update : it's Flowering Rush.
	Kyrgystan | map Uzbekistan | map Sorry, I can't read Kyrgyz or Uzbek. (◠v◠)v Anyway, Kyrgyzstan is famous for its horses & Uzbekistan is famous for its architecture. Being in the Silk Road - a route linking between ancient Rome & China - do the people look in between? & most are muslims. ماشاء الله

Old school nature stamps! الحمد لله (^v^)

Alhambra

I just found this website sunnah.com الحمد لله
& the most intriguing part is... I recognize that design.
It's from the Alhambra

Have I told you Alhambra is haunting me. (◠v◠) Anyway short story shorter, I was simply browsing websites. & when I found this one, my mind went "ummm.. isn't that from the walls of the Alhambra?"

& yes it is! ماشاء الله

I'm mesmerized. My memory can remember that wall & its intricacies! الحمد لله Well honestly, maybe I remember this bcoz I also used an Alhambra wall for one of my designs too, ha ha. But I used the design below, and not the one above. It's a totally different design. Still, I'm happy I can identify where the design comes from. I feel like a forensic expert. (◠v◠)

BTW, the medieval Alhambra design isn't just beautiful. Its mosaic have also helped scientists understand what quasicrystals look like at the atomic level. & this discovery of quasicrystal had just won the Nobel in Chemistry 2011.

.: ❀ الحمد لله ❀ :.

And this is the design, inspired by quasicrystal | The Law | Particle
I think it's fitrah فطرة, as in the relation between energy and mass
and yes Malays used to write in Arabic (Jawi جاوي) ✿ Ana Arab
