BlackBerry Counter Tasbih Free Download

Finally a free Counter for BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.
 The author of the App lost his favorite Tasbih, and couldn't find a free counter for BlackBerry OS, he decided to build one. Reciting Quraan daily and keeping a track of it is important, and mobile screens are not a good way to recite Quraan from, the book is a preferred approach for most. Most of the times its not possible to carry the Quraan, so to keep track of the last Surah and Verse recited, the App provides a solution for that too.

As of now the app is only tested for BlackBerry Bold 9700

Once you download the App and install you would find it in Menu->Downloads


Start the App and you would get a screen like below.
Lets go through what each field means from the above screen.
  • The Count field is which displays the count value, this is the field that keeps the count. It is not editable but it can be rest to zero.
  • Counter Limit : This is an editable field, here you can specify each value to set an alert for the count. So if it is set to 100, once the Count field reaches that value or its multiples the phone gives a beep and vibrates for 3 seconds
  • Surah : Here user can specify the Surah number or chapter in the Quran last read.
  • Verse : Here user can specify the verse from the above Surah last read.
  • Page : Here for users ease to locate the last Surah and Verse user had read, specify the page too.
  • Reset Counter: Resets the counter
  • Save : Save it all.
How it Works 
To increment counter there are two ways
1. Keep the input focus in Counter field and press the trackball key or you can press 't' key even if the focus is not on Counter field.

Set the counter limit to any specific value on which to alert the user, if 100 is specified the alert will be sounded when count reaches 100 and multiples of it, for example 100,200,300 etc ...

If you close the App from the menu, it will display the following message box.

And before the app exists it saves all the values automatically to the phones memory and is reloaded next time the App is started.
 
The App has been published by GetJar and can be downloaded from here

The Egyptian Civilization

"We in egypt always say that we are grandsons the pharaohs and the owners of the greatest civilization in the world and we have a history spanning thousands of years."



Egypt's history is the history of human civilization that preceded others, the world's leader in innovations and arts, where scientists stunned the world and the intellectual. Be it the principles of writing or invention of characters and hieroglyphic signs. The ancient Egyptians were anxious to codify and record their history and life. This step made great civilization of Egypt to step into the present with rich authenticity.

Egypt's spiritual history is enlightened by the way they embraced the prophets. It is a land honored with footsteps and incidents from the prophets and messengers. Abrahim peace be upon him, Yousef peace be upon him , great dialogue between God and Moses for peace between the territory, egypt resorted to the Maryam(Mary) peace be upon her and Jesus peace be upon him, Yousef Al Najjar and their historic trip to bless the land seem to be indicative of the spiritual value of the land. As if the land has been chosen by The God Almighty to be an oasis or a stronghold which shelter of peace and security.



Egypt played its role as the cradle of ancient civilization, the incubator of Greek and Roman civilizations. Egypt has also been a protector of Islamic civilization, along the history of love, tolerance and friendliness and generosity characterized by this people.



If you would like to more about the Egyptian civilization be sure to read ( history, religion, arts, sciences ,etc......)

Harmony a Human Commitment

Harmony
He left the masjid, but it was not his first time, he was not hated for what he did, but recognized the value of the small effort he did.

His name is Suresh, the week before also he came to Masjid well dressed, he stood among the rows shoulder to shoulder with his Muslim brothers for the Juma prayer. He did not keep any malice in his heart, he openly said 'I am here with you, only as an effort to build harmony, and my dear brothers I am not a Muslim and my name is Suresh'.
 
Suresh believes that bowing before the creator in prayer, in togetherness, in equality, in humility, in brotherhood could bring peace and harmony and he tried to practice that. Others prayed the Juma, I found my reflection on Suresh, it struck me and questionned me regarding my faith and my commitment to the matters that trouble our society and humanity in general.

Allah, our Creator looks into my heart, sees why am I here in Masjid, It is for Juma, I prayed the Juma in togetherness,equality,humility and brotherhood like it is meant to be prayed. After the prayer I am entrusted to take this quality from within my prayer and to the world. But Suresh came from outside the Masjid with intention of togetherness, equality, humility and brotherhood and then re affirm that with the Juma Prayer. 
What struck me is, if Allah were to analyze me in this aspect of prayer and how I uphold its values Suresh would be a far better individual in front of Allah.
It reminds me of  Hadith in which prophet said which has the nearest meaning of 'The number of those who pray would increase, but you would not find any single soul who has fear of Allah in his heart'.
This happens, it happens when the prayer gradually turns to a habit, and habit turns into a ritual, loosing its core, loosing its life, loosing the essence for what it is for, the purpose it has to serve.

Suresh left the Masjid, but his leaving would have catalyzed a new entrant to those who stayed, Suresh came in to Masjid with something, but what am I taking out from Masjid?
 

الإحتياجات الإنسانيه

إن للإنسان إحتياجات أساسيه لأستمراره فى الحياة ومن هنا وضع العالم ماسلو هرم الأحتياجات البشريه ونشرها فى عام 1943 بعنوان ( نظريه فى التحفيز الإنسانى ) وقام بترتيبها من أسفل إلى أعلى على حسب أولويات الإنسان وهى كالتالى:



1-الحاجات الفسيولوجيه :
وهى الحاجات اللازمة للحفاظ على بقاء الفرد وهى الحاجة إلى التنفس, الحاجة إلى الطعام, الحاجة إلى الماء, الحاجة إلى ضبط التوازن, الحاجة إلى الجنس، الحاجة إلى الأخراج.

2- حاجات الأمان :
بعد أشباع الحاجات الفسيولوجية تظهر أحتياجات الإنسان إلى الأمان والتى تشمل السلامة الجسدية من العنف والأعتداء, الأمن الوظيفى, أمن الإيرادات والموارد, الأمن المعنوى, الأمن الأسرى, الأمن الصحى, أمن الممتلكات الشخصية.

3- الحاجات الإجتماعية :
وتشمل العلاقات العاطفيه, العلاقات الأسرية, أكتساب الأصدقاء, والبشر عموماً يشعرون بالحاجة إلى الأنتماء والقبول وإلى الحب من الآخرين وفى غياب هذه العناصر الكثير من الناس يصبحون عرضة للقلق والعزلة الإجتماعيه والأكتئاب.

4- الحاجة للتقدير :
وهى حاجة الفرد إلى مكانه إجتماعية مرموقه وشعوره بأحترام الآخرين له والأحساس بالثقة والقوة.


5-الحاجة لتحقيق الذات:
وفى هذه المرحلة يحاول الفرد تحقيق ذاته من خلال أستخدام قدراته ومهاراته لتحقيق أكبر قدر من الإنجازات ووصوله إلى أهدافه.


وبدون توفر هذة الأحتياجات تكون حياة الإنسان صعبه وعملية أستمراره تكون متعثرة أما إذا حقق الإنسان هذه الأحتياجات فقد وصل إلى القمه التى تؤدى إلى رقى الإنسان ويصبح عضو فعال فى المجتمع ومن ثم رقى المجتمع وتطوره ووصولنا إلى عالم أفضل .
ونحن فعلاً بحاجة شديده هذه الأيام خصيصاً لإعادة النظر فى أحتياجات ماسلو ومحاولة تحقيقها على أنفسنا و أن يصبح الإنسان إنسان كما خلقه الله تعالى مكرم وسخر له سائر خلقه كما فى قوله الكريم


{ وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلاً } صدق الله العظيم
