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]

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim

"Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" And of men there is he whose talk on this life would please thee, and he would call Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart, and yet he is the most contentious of quarrelers. And when he is in authority, he runs about in the land to create disorder in it and destroy the crops and the progeny   of man ; and Allah loves not disorder.   And when it is said to him, ‘ Fear Allah ,’ pride incites him to   further   sin. So Hell shall be his sufficient reward; and surely, it is an evil place of rest.   And of men there is he who would sell himself to seek the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is Compassionate to   His   servants.   O you who believe! come into submission wholly and follow not the footsteps of Satan; surely, he is your open enemy.   But if you slip after the clear Signs that have come to you, then know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.   Are they waiting for anything but that Allah sh...

Your Lord will decide..........

"Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Rahem" Truly, Your Lord will decide between them by Hisjudgment, and He is the Mighty, the All-knowing.  So put your trust in Allah; surely, you   stand   on manifest truth. Verily, you can’t make the dead to hear, nor can’t you make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn back retreating. And you can’t guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make only those to hear who believe in Our Signs, for they submit. And when the sentence is passed against them, We shall bring forth for them a germ out of the earth, which shall wound them because people did not believe in Our Signs. And   remind them of   the day when We shall gather together from every people a party from among those who rejected Our Signs, and they shall be placed in   separate bands. Till, when they come, He will say, ‘Did you reject My  Signs, while you did not embrace them in your knowledge? Or what was it that you were doing?’...

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : "Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem" And mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years; this is for those who desire to complete the suckling. And the man to whom the child belongs shall be responsible for their (the mothers’) food and clothing according to usage. No soul is burdened beyond its  capacity. The mother shall not make the father suffer on account of her child, nor shall he to whom the child belongs make the mother suffer on account of his child, and the same is incumbent on the heir. If they both decide upon weaning the child by mutual consent and consultation, there is no blame on them. And if you desire to engage a wetnurse for your children, there shall be no blame on you, provided you pay what you have agreed to pay, in a fair manner. And fear Allah and know that Allah sees what you do. And those of you who die and leave wives behind, these (wives) shall wait concerning themselves four months and te...
