Good Tidings
“Bismil-llaheer Rahmaneer Rahim”

A guidance and good tidings to those who would believe,Who observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, and have firm faith in the Hereafter.As to those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds appear beautiful to them, so they are wandering blindly.It is they who shall have a grievous torment, and they alone it is who shall be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.  Sura Al-Naml, Aeyat 3 – 6

Kaptai Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Kaptai Lake is a man made lake in south-eastern Bangladesh. It is located in the Kaptai Upazila under Rangamati Districtof Chittagong Division. The lake was created as a result of building the Kaptai Dam on the Karnaphuli River, as part of the Karnaphuli Hydro-electric project. The Kaptai Lake's average depth is 100 feet (30 m) and maximum depth is 490 feet (150 m).
Construction of the reservoir for the hydro-electric plant began in 1956 by the Government of then East Pakistan. As a result, 54,000 acres (220 km2) of farmland in the Rangamati District went under water and created the lake.
The hydro-electric project was funded by the United States. The project was finished in 1962. International Engineering Company and Utah International Inc. received the contract for construction of the dam. The dam is 670.8 meters long, and 54.7 meters high. The dam has a 745 feet (227 m) long spillway containing 16 gates. Through the spillway 5,250,000 cu ft/s (149,000 m3/s) of water can pass.

The land that went under water as a result of the dam construction, was 40% of the total arable land in the area. Along with that, 29 square miles (75 km2) of the Government-owned forest, and 234 square miles (610 km2) of other forest land went under water. About 18,000 families with a total of almost 100 thousand people were also displaced. The palace of the king of the Chakmas was also flooded and is now under water.[1]

All this belongs to .........

" Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" All this belongs to ..... They will say, ‘All this belongs to Allah.’ Say, ‘How then are you mislead?’ http://www.facebook.com/mdshahabuddin.sikder Yea, We have brought them the truth, and they are certainly liars. Allah has not taken unto Himself any son, nor is there any other God along with Him; in that case each god would have taken away what he had created, and some of them would surely have dominated over others. Glorified be Allah above all that which they attribute to Him! Knower of the unseen and of the seen! Exalted therefore is He above all that which they associate with Him! Say, ‘My Lord, if Thou wilt show me that with which they are threatened. ‘My Lord, then place me not with the wrongdoing people.’ And certainly We have the power to show thee that with which We threaten them. Repel evil with that which is best. We are well acquainted with the things they allege. And say, ‘My Lord, I seek refuge in Thee from the incitements of...

Be the people who do not believe!..............

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : "Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter  and whom We had afforded ease and comfort in this life, said, ‘This is but a man like yourselves. He eats of that of which you eat, and drinks of that of which you drink. ‘And if you obey a man like yourselves, you will then be surely losers. ‘Does he promise you that when you are dead and have become dust and bones, you  will be brought forth again? ‘Far, far from truth is that which you are promised. ‘There is no life other than our present life; we were lifeless and now we live,  but we shall not be raised up again. ‘He is only a man who has forged a lie against Allah; and we are not going to believe him.’ He said, ‘My Lord, help me, for they have treated me as a liar.’ Lord said, ‘In a little while they will surely become repentant.’ Then punishment overtook them rightfully, and We made them as rubbi...
