Quran Page 31: The Days of Hajj and the Prayer for Both Worlds (Surah Al-Baqarah 197-202)

-

📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 31)

Page 31 continues the guidance on Hajj, specifically focusing on the etiquette during the pilgrimage—forbidding ill speech and disputes. It highlights the transition from Arafat to Al-Mash'ar al-Haram (Muzdalifah). Most significantly, it teaches us the most comprehensive supplication (Dua) a believer can make, asking for Hasanah (goodness) in both this world and the next.

🕌 Arabic Text (Page 31)

🌍 English Translation (Sahih International)

Verse 197: Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj... And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah.

Verse 198: There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord [during Hajj]. But when you depart from 'Arafat, remember Allah at al-Mash'ar al-Haram...

Verse 200: ...And among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

Verse 201: But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

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

-
Image
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. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

 We've been familiar with the idea ease and convenience of voice activated timer either on Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Home/Siri. 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...
