While the disbelievers planned, Allah’s ultimate plan prevailed as He declared to 'Isa (Jesus) that He would take him, raise him to Himself, and purify him from those who disbelieve. These verses deliver a profound warning of severe punishment for disbelief, contrasting with the full, unmeasured rewards promised to those who believe and work righteousness.

LibreOffice vs ONLYOFFICE on Linux — The Difference That Actually Matters Is the Document Engine, Not the Feature List

Linux daily driver series · Part 2 LibreOffice vs ONLYOFFICE on Linux — The Difference That Actually Matters Is the Document Engine, Not the Feature List A real-world finding from switching to CachyOS as a daily driver: why one suite broke header images and the other didn't — and what that reveals about cross-platform document compatibility on Linux. Context This is a follow-up to the first article in this series , which covered a three-iteration Windows → Linux migration on a custom desktop PC. Once CachyOS was running as a daily driver, one of the first practical questions was which office suite to use. The answer turned out to be more architecturally interesting than expected. The standard advice for office suites on Linux is "use LibreOffice — it's mature, it's free, it's in every distro's repository." That advice isn't wrong. But it turns out to be incomplete in a way that matters a great deal if your documents r...

Upon receiving these glad tidings, Maryam wonders how she can bear a child when no man has touched her. The celestial response establishes the supreme sovereignty of divine creation: when Allah decrees a matter, He simply says to it, "Be," and it is. The verses outline the sublime knowledge, scriptures, and unparalleled miracles g...

I Planned a Windows → Linux Migration With an AI Coding Assistant

Windows → Linux Migration · 1. Why migrate Real-world experiment · 2025–2026 I Planned a Windows → Linux Migration With an AI Coding Assistant. Here's what actually happened — including the rollback, the retry, and what finally worked. Fair warning up front: this story includes a rollback, a retry, and a second machine that's now mid-migration. None of it went in a straight line — and that's exactly what makes it useful. Over the past few weeks I used an AI coding assistant to plan and execute a real Windows → Linux migration on a custom-built desktop PC — three times. The third consolidated into one OS covering research, creative work, development, and gaming — that's where things stand now, in active daily use and still in a validation period. Getting there took three attempts: the first was a full dual-boot that ran for several days before a deliberate rollback; the second was a narrower retry focused on creative work and G...
