Quran Page 28: The Obligation of Fasting and Allah's Nearness (Surah Al-Baqarah 182-186)

📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 28)

Page 28 is beloved by many as it contains the verses of Ramadan. It explains that fasting was prescribed for us just as it was for those before us, with the ultimate goal of attaining Taqwa (God-consciousness). This page also highlights the Quran's revelation in Ramadan and ends with one of the most intimate verses in the Quran—where Allah promises that He is near and responds to the caller whenever they call upon Him.

In June 2023, when Rajan Anandan, a venture capitalist and former CEO of Google India, posed the query about the possibility of building a similar OpenAI or ChatGPT, Sam Altman replied it was "Hopeless" and "Impossible". Cut to 2025, Deepseek happened, and today people run their own LLMs on modest hardware configurations. I can humbly attest that Deepseek R1 can run on modest desktops and desktops with GPUs such as GTX 970 to RTX 4070 Super. Why Run LLMs Locally? Data Privacy and Security : For some organizations, the sensitivity of the data they're working with necessitates keeping it on-premises. Local hosting reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access since data remains within the organization’s control. Customization and Control : Running LLMs locally allows for greater control over model configuration and fine-tuning. Organizations can tailor the models to better meet their specific needs and integrate them more seamlessly with their existing...

Meaning of Summa Ameen

The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below.

Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

However, to get it working on Home Assistant (HA), isnt achieved without a bit of nerd-ish satisfaction to exercise and see the designing and realization of the design come to life. A bit of a background The Talking to Assist feature in home assist, "set a timer for 5 minutes" does start a timer, however you need some device connected to HA to let you know that the timer has completed. That was not what i was not very excited about, one more device to make it work, hmmm , not my stuff. To set the scope, the requirement needs to be defined clearly, hence the designing process was triggered. Requirement(s):  1, Start a timer with voice command for specified time ( hours, minutes and seconds ) 2. Play a ringing sound once the timer is done. 3. Stop the ringing sound on stop voice command. The Design : Part Starting Timer (Automation 1) The de...
