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

news of the ...................!

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful It is narrated by Anas (RA): When the news of the arrival of the Prophet at Medina reached 'Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him to ask him about certain things, He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the first food which the people of Paradise will eat? Why does a child attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam said, "He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of the Jews amongst the angels. The Prophet said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal which the people of Paradise will eat, it will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the man's discharge precedes the woman's discharge, the child attracts

He knows whatever is in your ..................

M. S. Sikder: M. S. Sikder: Duty of a Muslim : Bismillaheer Rahmaneer Raheem He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you disclose; and Allah knows full well   all   that is in the breasts. Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved before? So they tasted the evil consequences of their conduct, and they had a painful punishment. That was because their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs, but they said, ‘Shall mortals guide us?’ So they disbelieved and turned away, but Allah had never any need  of them ; and Allah is Self- Sufficient, Worthy of all praise. Those who disbelieve assert that they will not be raised up. Say, ‘Yea, by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up; then shall you surely be informed of what you did. And that is easy for Allah.’ Believe, therefore, in Allah and His Messenger, and in the Light which We have sent down. And Allah is Well-Aware of all that you do. – The Holy-Quran 64, (5-9) Narrated B
