Rare Birds.....................!

Rare bird in the world
The Bishop's Moloka (Moho bishopi) is a member of the extinct genus of the (Moho) within the extinct family Mohoidae. It was previously regarded as member of the Australo-Pacific honeyeaters (Meliphagidae). Lionel Walter Rothschild named it after Charles Reed Bishop, the founder of the Bishop Museum.
Description
It was discovered in 1892 by Henry C. Palmer, a bird collector for Lord Rothschild. Its length was about 29 centimeters. The tail had reached a length of 10 centimeters. The plumage was general glossy black with yellow feather tufts on the maxillaries, beneath the wings and the undertail coverts. Their songs were simple two notes, took-took, which could be heard for miles.
Distribution
It was endemic to the montane forests in the eastern of the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, and Mount Olokai. Subfossil bone finds from Maui, on Mount Olinda at about 4,500 ft above sea level are sometimes referred to in literature as the Maui.
Ecology
Little is known about its ecology. It fed on nectar from the flowers of Hawaiian lobelioids.
Extinction
Causes of the bird's extinction include deforestation, competition from introduced predators, hunting by the Hawaiians due to the much sought yellow feathers to make the precious capes for the nobility, and diseases which were introduced by mosquitoes. It was last seen in 1904 by ornithologist George Campbell Munro. In 1915 Munro tried to verify reports of eventual sightings but he never found this bird again. In 1981 there was an alleged rediscovery on Maui although this sighting has never been confirmed.
Specimens

Today the bird can only be seen as specimens, paintings, picture notes, and skins. Records of these types are known to be held in Bremen, Cambridge, Massachusetts;. Honolulu; London; Molokai, Hawaiian Islands; New York; and Stockholm

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...
