Ramadan: What do you know about Abu Bakr Ibn Abu Qahafa ra?

Assalam Alaikum

Abu Bakr (Abdullah ibn Abi Qahafa) (Arabic: عبد الله بن أبي قحافة; Transliteration: ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Quhāfah, c. 573 CE – 23 August 634/13 AH) was a senior companion (Sahabah) and the father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He ruled over the Rashidun Caliphate from 632-634 CE when he became the first Muslim Caliph following Muhammad’s death.[1] As Caliph, Abu Bakr succeeded to the political and administrative functions previously exercised by the Prophet, since the religious function and authority of prophethood ended with Muhammad’s death according to Islam. He was called Al-Siddiq (the truthful)[2] by the Prophet and was known by that title among later generations of Muslims.

As a young man, Abu Bakr became a cloth merchant and he traveled extensively in Arabia and neighboring lands in the Middle East, through which he gained both wealth and experience. He eventually came to be recognized as the chief of his clan.[3] On his return from a business trip to Yemen, he was informed that in his absence Muhammad had openly declared his prophethood. Not long after, Abu Bakr accepted Islam and was the first person outside the family of Muhammad to openly become a Muslim. He was instrumental in the conversion of many people to the Islamic faith[4] and early in 623, Abu Bakr’s daughter Aisha was married to Muhammad, strengthening the ties between the two men.[2]

Abu Bakr served as a trusted advisor and close friend to the Prophet. During the lifetime of Muhammad, he was involved in several campaigns such as the Battle of Uhud, the Battle of the Trench, the Battle of Banu Qurayza, Battle of Khaybar, the Conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Hunayn, the Siege of Ta’if, and the Battle of Tabuk where he was reported to have given all of his wealth for the preparation of this expedition.[5] He also participated in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and was made one of the witnesses over the pact.[5]

In 631, the Prophet became fatally ill, and after his death Abu Bakr became the first Muslim Caliph. During his rule, he defeated the rebellion of several Arab tribes in a successful campaign, unifying the entire Arabian peninsula and giving it stability.[6] This enabled him to launch successful campaigns against the Sassanid Empire (Persian Empire) and the East Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) who were threatening Arabia’s borders. Prior to dispatching his army to Syria against the Romans he gave them the following commands which established the conduct of war for later Muslim generations:

Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy’s flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.[7][8]

Abu Bakr’s Caliphate lasted for a little over two years (or 27 months), ending with his death after an illness. Though the period of his caliphate was not long it included successful invasions of the two most powerful empires of the time, a remarkable achievement in its own right. He set in motion a historical trajectory that in few decades would lead to one of the largest empires in history.

Is my answer okay to this question? Need your economic expertise?

Do accidents cause people?
Children born out of wed lock are commonly viewed as accidents, an unwanted side effect of intercourse. It was therefore widely expected that better contraception and the legalization of abortion would sharly decrease the number of such children. In fact, the pattern has been the opposite. Improved contraception and increased access to abortion developed Western societies has been associated with a sharp, perhaps unparelleled increase in births. Can you offer explanations for that consistent with the economic approach to human behaviour?

This is my answer, please let me know if I should elaborate more.

Due to recent advancements of contraception and more openly-legalized abortions, unintended pregnancies have caused the population to increase causing economic strain on society. Due to the fact these saviors such as birth control are now more pertinent and readily available; people feel the need to be more sexually active and irresponsible which leads to more births. Some individuals may make their decisions based on lack of morality, education, and economical factors.
Assuming everyone who has an unwanted pregnancy believes and decides to abort, the cost of abortion would be the only concern if money really mattered. In Economics Uncut on pg 320, the average price of an abortion is listed to be $370. However the amount of service an abortion clinic is receiving at that time may dictate the price of their services. If someone is in a rural area and plans to have an abortion, they may pay a higher price due to the lack of clinic availability and the amount of business received. Due to recent hardship for some, an abortion may be too expensive even though making the opposite decision would be a life long expensive choice to others. I believe people who cannot afford to abort may end up relying on government assistance to aid them financially. When government aid is dependent upon by these parties, taxpayers are doomed to pick up the extra charges and this cycle effects everyone economically and continues to circulate to the next generation if they are not educated properly about abstinence and contraception.

Do I have a chance of getting into Yale or Princeton?

Hey,
I’m currently a Junior enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program (IB). My GPA is a 4.0 with a weighted of 4.6. I am number 8 in my class rank. I’m currently taking all I.B. Classes. I have taken 2 AP Classes so far, AP World and AP Euro. I am part of the first class of I.B. Students at my school and thus have started the following traditions at my school:

-I.B. Council (President for Sophomore and Freshman Year) – I started this at my school and the number has grown by a substantial sum each year.
-I.B. Hangouts (IB Social Gatherings that take place after school once a month) – I started this too.
-I.B. Award Ceremonies/Events – Started these as well.
-There are numerous tiny traditions that I have also started for my I.B. Class, i.e. Class Photos/Superlatives.
- This year, we are doing our first 5K event on our annual “Multicultural Day” in the morning. The goal is to raise 5000 dollars to build a well in a country that lacks clean water and sanitation. I’m majoring in International Studies and might also double major in Film (I’ll do that if I get into Yale). I will be one of the main coordinators of the event, mainly in charge of advertising this event and the cause that goes behind it. I am passionate about sanitation, so that is why I’m helping to lead this event.

I was also in the following leading positions in my school.

-Freshman Class President
-Sophomore Class President
-Debate Club Member

I have participated in the BPA (Business Professionals of America) and placed in 1st in Regionals for Prepared Speech (Osceola County) and 4th in state for Prepared Speech (Florida). I will also be doing BPA again this year.

Won a few film festivals in my local area as well, including one by our local organization, “Community Vision”.

I have over 100 Community Service Hours and will have over 300 by the end of my senior year.

I want to major in International Relations/ Global Affairs. I have not taken SAT’s/ACTS’s/SAT Subject Tests yet, but have been diligently studying for them. Just in case you need to know, I’m a first generation Asian with a low family income.
P.S. I speak English and Urdu, and learning Spanish. All IVY League schools have excellent financial aid programs, so please don’t post about tuition costs.

Databases and data warehouses clearly make it easier for people to access all kinds of information.?

Databases and data warehouses clearly make it easier for people to access all kinds of information. This will lead to great debates in the area of privacy. Should organizations be left to police themselves with respect to providing access to information or should the government impose privacy legislation? Answer this question with respect to (1) customer information shared by organizations, (2) employee information shared within a specific organization, and (3) business information available to customers

In this chapter, we listed the five important software components of a DBMS: the DBMS engine, the data definition, data manipulation, application generation, and data administration subsystems. Which of those are most and least important to users of a database? Which of those are most and least important to technology specialists who develop data applications? Which of those are most and least important to the chief information officer (CIO)? For each of your responses, provide justification.

Consider that you work in the human resources management department of a local business and that many of your friends work there. Although you don’t personally generate payroll checks, you still have the ability to look up anyone’s pay. Would you check on your friends to see if they’re earning more money than you? For that matter, would you look up their pay just out of simple curiosity, knowing that you would never do anything with the information or share it with anyone else? Why or why not? People working at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) were caught just curiously looking up the reported incomes of movie stars and other high-profile public figures. Is this acceptable? Why or why not?

A Very British View

William Yeoward

At 45 years old William Yeoward is one of
London’s leading creative forces, with a
reputation as a style-maker,retailer,
decorator and designer of truly beautiful
homewares. The creative drive behind the
multi-faceted and highly regarded
Yeoward brand, William Yeoward is a man
of enviable passion and dedication,
integrity and imagination and was a
valued guest of designEx ComFIA from
8-11 May this year.

Having studied Art History, Theatre
Design and English Literature at one of
England’s private schools, William
embarked almost immediately on a career
Ain interior design and retailing. After a
brief period training under Tricia Guild and
later Nicy Haslam, he opened his first
store on King’s Road, Chelsea in 1985.
Stocked with antiques, objects and pieces
that he had designed and commissioned,
the business flourished and evolved over
a period of nearly 10 years as he
continued to add further elements to the
range – antiques, lighting, decorative
accessories, dinner services and antique
crystal pieces.

His subsequent interest in antique crystal
inspired William to create, together with
Timothy Jenkinds – a third generation
crystal maker and distributor – a
collection of pieces inspired by 18th and
19th century designs from England and
Ireland. Although the collectiion was
intended to be an accent to the Yeoward
lines, it soon became obvious that William
Yeoward Crystal would become a brand in
it’s own right. Now, William Yeoward Crystal
has solid distribution in the USA and the
UK and was highly acclaimed by Elle
Decor as,The zenith in crystal making.

As the original King’s Road shop was
turned over exclusively to William
Yeoward Crystal, 1997 saw the opening
of Yeoward South in London’s Battersea-
a fabulous warehous space filled with
furnitiure, lighting accessories, antiques
and quirky pieces.

Over the past two years, William has
turned his attention to his latest venture-
William Yeoward Fabric and Wallpaper
(distributed by Designers Guild).His
collection of decorative designs and
sumptuous textures are daring and
classical, seductive and contemporary,
combining wool, silk, a marvellous colour
palette and William’s innate sense of style
bring true innovation to the market.

William possesses a rare combination of
prolific creative talent coupled with a
natural commerical flair. He is known for
his sophistication, elegant, and highly
individual style. He is a man who cares
very much and strives tirelessly to perfect
his trade and then share the rewards of
his talents with others.

At designEx COMFIA 2003, William shared
with us his views on both interior and
product design in London today, based on
his experience at the coal face of
design. An entertaining, informative and
relaxed speaker, he offered a valuable look
at British design.

thanks!
