Say, ˹O believers,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.” – Surah Baqarah 2:136
Napoleon’s Horrific Failure in Russia – primarily due to invade around fall – and being trapped in the Russian winter – even though he had about 600 thousand troops – while Russians about 200 thousand soldiers;
In 1811, Tsar Alexander I, supposedly allied with Napoleon, refused to be part of the continental blockade of British goods any longer. Napoleon’s edict barring trade with Great Britain was ruining the Russian economy. Tensions quickly escalated; every attempt to negotiate failed.
SOKHOLOV: The Russian army starts to concentrate its forces on the borders. Napoleon went to Kaurakin, the Russian ambassador, and harshly questioned him. “What does this mean? What does Russia want from me? You know it’s easy to start a war but it’s very difficult to finish one.”
On June 24, 1812, ignoring the advice of his closest advisors, Napoleon invaded Russia. Never in living memory had so large an army been assembled — Italians, Poles, German, French — more than 600,000 men from every corner of his empire. Napoleon prophesied the war would be over in twenty days.
WOLOCH: An army of 600,000, it would seem to be absolutely irresistible no matter what happened. He’ll simply pour in enough men to overwhelm the Russians, force them to engage in battle and defeat them.
“I know Alexander,” Napoleon said. “I once had influence over him; it will come back. If not, let destiny be accomplished and let Russia be crushed under my hatred of England.”
HORNE: And Napoleon, once again with this sense of destiny. His star was such that he thought he could defeat Russia — this enormous country.
As the days passed, the blazing heat of the Russian summer began to take its toll. Soldiers fell out from exhaustion, sickness, and desertion — more than five thousand a day. After two months, before Napoleon had fought a single battle, 150,000 soldiers were out of action.
Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter: 43 ~Whoever Curses Time Wrongs Allah
Allah (swt ), says:
” And they say: “There is nothing but our life in this world: We die and we live and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture” (Qur’an 45:24)
Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High, informs us in this verse about the disbelieving dahris1 from among the Arabs and others, who do not believe in any life, save the life of this world, nor in the Rabb and Creator, Allah (swt ), Most High. They believe that nothing causes death except the passage of time. Then Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High, refutes their claims, saying that they have absolutely no evidence for what they claim, but instead, depend upon surmise and their own vain opinions.
Benefits Derived From This Verse
1. That attributing good or evil to the passage of time is a sign of atheism.
2. Confirmation of a life after death for mankind.
3. That ad-dahr (time) is not one of Allah’s Names.
Relevance of This Verse to the Subject of the Chapter
That the verse rejects those who attribute events to time, for they commit a great wrong against Allah (swt ).
Relevance of This Verse to the Subject of Tawheed
That it rejects those who attribute events to time, because in so doing, they are ascribing a partner to Allah (swt ), for it is He, Alone Who Decrees what will be and what will not be.
..ooOOoo..
It is authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra ) that the Prophet (saas ) said: “Allah (swt ), Most Blessed, Most High, says: “The son of Adam wrongs Me: He curses time, though I am time: In My Hands are all things and I cause the night to follow the day.” 2 In another narration, He (saas ) says: “Do not curse time, for verily, time is Allah (swt ).”
Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High informs us in this Hadith Qudsi, that man commits a great wrong against Allah (swt ) when he curses time and attributes the occurrence of events to it, for Allah (swt ) is the Rabb of time and the Disposer of affairs and it is by His Qadr that events take place. Therefore to curse time is to curse the Owner of time.
In the second narration, the Prophet (saas ) forbids us from cursing time, saying that Allah (swt ) is the Owner of time and the Disposer of it and all events and affairs, and this is confirmation of what was reported in the preceding Hadith Qudsi.
Benefits Derived From This Hadith
1. The forbiddance of cursing time.
2. That no actions may be attributed to time.
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of the Chapter
That it proves that to curse time is to commit a great wrong against Allah (swt ).
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of Tawheed
That the Hadith proves that cursing time is a great wrong against Allah (swt ), because those who do so believe that it is time which causes events to take place and this is shirk in Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah, for it is Allah (swt ), Alone Who determines events.

Plural Marriages in the Bible and Quran Kareem Why do Christians have a Problem with Multiple Marriage? Probably cause most Christians never read the Bible– Christianity, Bible, Islam – Comparisons;
Of course currently there is no Original Torah (of Moses), Psalms of David (Zabur) or Injeel (Gospel) of Jesus – only Quran Kareem is preserved in the Original Revelation /Arabic;
*Old Testament: – Prophet Solomon: 1 Kings 11:3 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.
*Prophet David: 1 Samuel 18:20 (NIV) Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased. Michal was David’s first wife and King Saul’s daughter. David paid double the requested dowry when he presented Saul with 200 Philistine foreskins for her hand in marriage. Although David’s primary motive for marrying Michal seemed to be for political reasons, the Bible tells us Michal loved David. In fact, Michal’s love for David is the only reference in the entire Bible that mentions a specific woman’s love for a man (1 Samuel 18:20).
2 Samuel 5:13-16 – Prophet David: 13 After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14 These are the names of the children born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.
*Surah An Nisa 4:3 – Quran Kareem; If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights ˹if you were to marry them˺, then marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ˹content yourselves with˺ one 1 or those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession.
You surely cannot guide whoever you love ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided. – surah Al Qasas 28:56;
It is not ˹proper˺ for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to the believers that they are bound for the Hellfire. – surah Taubah 9:113;
(9)
Chapter: Evidence that the Islam of one who becomes Muslim on his deathbed is valid, so long as the death those have not begun; Abrogation of permission to supplicate for forgiveness for the idolators; Evidence that one who dies an idolator is one of the people of hell and no intervention can save him from that
It is reported by Sa’id b. Musayyib who narrated it on the authority of his father (Musayyib b. Hazm) that when Abu Talib was about to die, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to him and found with him Abu Jahl (‘Amr b. Hisham) and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya ibn al-Mughirah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: My uncle, you just make a profession that there is no god but Allah, and I will bear testimony before Allah (of your being a believer), Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya addressing him said: Abu Talib, would you abandon the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) constantly requested him (to accept his offer), and (on the other hand) was repeated the same statement (of Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya) till Abu Talib gave his final decision and be stuck to the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib and refused to profess that there is no god but Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: By Allah, I will persistently beg pardon for you till I am forbidden to do so (by God), It was then that Allah, the Magnificent and the Glorious, revealed this verse: ” It is not meet for the Prophet and for those who believe that they should beg pardon for the polytheists, even though they were their kith and kin, after it had been made known to them that they were the denizens of Hell” (ix. 113) And it was said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ” Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah Who guideth whom He will, and He knoweth best who are the guided” (xxviii, 56).

The cell cycle is the series of stages that a cell goes through as it grows and divides. It’s also known as the cell-division cycle.
Stages of the Cell Cycle
G1 phase: The cell grows
S phase: The cell copies its chromosomes, creating two sister chromatids for each chromosome
G2 phase: The cell checks the duplicated chromosomes and prepares to divide
M phase: The cell separates the copied chromosomes into two sets, and then divides into two new cells
Interphase
The period between mitotic divisions (G1, S, and G2) is called interphase. During interphase, the cell grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for division.
Daughter cells
The resulting cells, known as daughter cells, each enter their own interphase and begin a new round of the cell cycle.
Cell Cycle Regulation
The cell cycle is a key regulatory mechanism of cellular growth and proliferation. Dysregulation of the cell cycle is thought to be the first step in carcinogenesis.
Cell cycle regulation refers to the control mechanisms that determine whether cells will divide, remain dormant, arrest, or undergo programmed cell death. It plays a crucial role in normal tissue repair and regeneration, and its disruption is a key feature of cancer. Various signaling pathways are involved in cell cycle regulation, and alterations in these pathways can be induced by both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic agents. While significant progress has been made in understanding these pathways, our knowledge of cell cycle regulation is still incomplete. Further research in this area may provide insights into diseases that result from dysregulation of these pathways.
Cell Specialization – How Cells become Specialized
If a cell is specialized, it has unique structures that allow it to carry out its function in the body. All cells start as stem cells, which are cells that can become many other types of cells. They go through a process called differentiation to become specialized. During differentiation, different environmental cues trigger changes in protein synthesis inside the cell. Different genes are turned on or off through gene regulation; this creates different proteins, and thus structure and function for the cell.
For example, all cells in the human body have the same DNA. However, neurons in our brain are very different from skin cells because neurons turn on genes needed for their job and thus make neuronal proteins, and skin cells turn on epithelial genes to make proteins required for their job.
Broken heart syndrome is a heart condition that’s often brought on by stressful situations and extreme emotions. The condition also can be triggered by a serious physical illness or surgery. Broken heart syndrome is usually temporary. But some people may continue to feel unwell after the heart is healed.
People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain or think they’re having a heart attack. Broken heart syndrome affects just part of the heart. It briefly interrupts the way the heart pumps blood. The rest of the heart continues to work as usual. Sometimes the heart contracts more forcefully.
Medicines are used to treat symptoms of broken heart syndrome.
Broken heart syndrome also may be called:
Stress cardiomyopathy.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Apical ballooning syndrome.
Symptoms
Symptoms of broken heart syndrome can mimic those of a heart attack. Symptoms may include:
