Are you part of an organization that depends on public participation—that sustains itself through large sums of money donated by those sympathetic to your cause? Well, while many donors do make their contributions out of a strong moral belief or allegiance and don't seek recognition, it is still important to communicate your appreciation and recognize their contribution. Many universities, hospitals, and nonprofits accomplish this through the use of plaques posted throughout the facilities. But perhaps you're seeking something above and beyond, and one solution you should seriously consider is the use of donor recognitions signs. Often, it feels good for donors to receive that recognition, but...

The custom of wearing Tzitzis originated from the commandment from Numbers 15:37-41: The Lord said to Moses as follows: Speak to the Israelite people and instruct them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout the ages; let them attach a cord of blue to the fringe at each corner. That shall be your fringe; look at it and recall all the commandments of the Lord and observe them, so that you do not follow your heart and eyes in your lustful urge. Thus you shall be reminded to observe all My commandments and to be holy to your God. I the Lord am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I, the Lord your God. Utimately, Tzitizis are worn to...

Could there be a connection between the Star of David and the pomegranate? We have previously discussed the secret encrypted in the Star of David, the geometric form, almost mystical, which connects the ancient times of Israel's famous kings with the modern era. Now it is time to ponder whether the pomegranate, which is created by nature, could have been a source of inspiration for the creation of the well-known symbol - the Star of David. According to ancient Jewish tradition, the pomegranate has 613 seeds. We know there are 613 commandments in the Pentateuch ("TarYag Mitzvot"). In numerology the words "TarYag" equal 613 (Taf = 400, Reish = 200, Yod = 10, Gimel = 3). Continuing this reasoning, the...

When a young couple moves into their first house or apartment, there are numerous items that they will need to set up their household. You may consider creating a bathroom-themed housewarming gift basket to help the happy couple set up a happy home. One type of bathroom gift basket that you could create is a bath accessory basket. You could purchase items such as soap, shampoo, body wash, lotion, and other bathing items that the couple may have forgotten to pick up during the excitement of their move. You could also include a shower rack that will hold these products while still allowing easy access to them while in the shower. Another idea for a gift basket would be a dental hygiene basket. You...

While the traditional memorial candle is the regular wax candle that we've all known for years, this candle is not made of wax. New technology enabled the creation of this candle, which burns solely on solar energy - energy that comes from the sun. Not only does it use the sun's energy to burn, but it also stores some of the energy in order to light at night and on bad weather as well. This way, this candle simply burns all the time, day and night, on sunny, cloudy and even rainy days, it doesn't burn out. Thanks to the bands which separate the interior of the candle from whatever is outside, and practically isolated it, the candle is completely weather proof. Furthermore, this candle keeps on...

Entering the water on the beach is a matter of caution for Muslim women, not because they are afraid of water or any other reason on parallel lines but because of the lack of right swimwear which follows the Islamic tradition. Islamic tradition needs the women to be covered from head to toe and only face, hands and feet can be shown. Designing a swimwear which follows the Islamic tradition and is comfortable is not only a challenge but a task next to impossible. But, Oliver Momeni took up this challenge and has gifted the women of the world with a swim wear named Bodykini. Oliver Momeni has solved the puzzle and has come out with a terrific modest comfortable swimwear designed especially for the...

Finding suitable modest swimwear that respects Islamic principals has now become a thing of the past for modern Muslim women. The swimsuits previously available on the market were not designed for the Muslim women as they either allowed skin to show or were unpractical for swimming. The quote below which was published in the National Geographical News aptly describes how uncomfortable the swimwear designed for Muslimahs used to be, "As an active Muslim girl I found it difficult to participate in most sports because of all the excess clothes we were wearing. Also, the veil was very unpractical when playing sports". In a market that was relatively untouched by major sports brands, smaller companies...

Freemasons state “peace, fraternity and love among human beings” to be the tenets of their mission. However under these concepts, albeit seemingly positive at first sight, lies the Masonic philosophy’s enmity to religion.   Masonry has been one of the major topics about which people have been curious and bewildered. That is because the organisation’s activities are kept confidential and thus its real philosophy and objections are subject to much controversy. In their public disclosures, freemasons extensively refer to “human love, tolerance, universal fraternity, the way to science and wisdom...”, concepts with an instant appeal to heart. However, freemasonry is a dark organisation with...

Muslim marriage as in other faiths is a sacred institution. It is a moral contract binding between a Muslim man and a Muslim woman.

The proposal for marriage is made by the girl's parents to the guy and once with the acceptance from both the sides the ceremony of engagement is made which is further followed by the marriage. The Islamic marriage is solemnized by a priest who takes the consent of both the bride and the groom for the marriage. The bride and the groom's consent is followed by signing of the marriage proposal by the bride, the groom and the...

Islamic weddings follow all the traditional religious customs, which have been laid down in their holy book. The most important part of the wedding among two Muslims will begin with the nikah ceremony. This is important because it is the time when the social contract is made between the Muslim bride and groom. At this time, it is not even important for the Muslim girl to be present. She can be represented by her guardians at this ceremony. The Muslim groom then gives the gifts to the bride's side. If they wish so, the gifts can be given at a later time with the mutual consent. The wedding customs for the Muslims will also include an engagement ceremony, called the Mangni. In this ceremony, the groom...

Fundamental Religious conflicts between Jews, Christians and Muslims   Jews  reject Christianity, Christians reject Judaism, Jews and Christins reject Islam as a false religion. Islam accepts the Law and the Evangel as part of the authentic divine message but reject the Christian Doctrine of Trinity. Lack of proof offered by either of these belief-systems makes the individual believer recoil upon his personal convitions. Jews consider the Law as the only divine book sent to them, to save them from the Pharaohs about 1272 BC. They Belief that Yahweh, or Ilyaho, as the God of the Jews only. They hence reject the Evangel as part of the divine message and reject Jesus Christ as a true and authentic...

Islam is a complex religion, which according to CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations), has 1.200 billion followers from every race and every century in the world. It has survived persecutions, subjugation and defamation since its founding by the prophet Mohammed (pbuh) in 1440ad. Since its founding, different sects and ideologies have spread from the original peaceful teachings over 1,000 years ago. One of the most media popular sects in Islam is the Shia's, they display their feelings of the Prophets brothers death by a ritual self-mutilation. This is expressed in ways such as taking sharp or bladed instruments and repetitively tapping their heads and/or body, even after they are bleeding...

And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect. [Holy Qur'an, Surah ar-Rum 30:21] There has not been created any institution in Islam which is more favored and dearer to Allah than marriage.

  “I am an asset to the world, use me.” These were the words of Prophet TB Joshua during the Sunday live  Service 14th February 2010, while the world celebrated Valentine’s Day; showering gifts and love on their loved ones. In what will turn out to be a big hit for the media in Nigeria, TB Joshua identified with the people of Haiti, who recently suffered a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake; leaving the children and survivors to suffer the pains of such a disaster. He recalled how in the past few weeks he had repeatedly clamoured for prayers for a former president of a great nation of the world. These were the exact words that he said during the prophecy. “I can see a former president of...

The Flood Because of shifting of business, we also migrated to Delhi. We had got certain relations there too and therefore, we started adjusting in Delhi in the changed atmosphere. Very few people were having contacts with us. But slowly and steadily we developed habits of Delhi people and adjusted there. In fact a spirit of revenge taking was functioning in me. But I could not do anything. In 1993 when Patiala was hit by floods, some young people belonging to the sikh Community started collecting and they planned to do something against the Hindus and do something like that which happened to the Sikh Community in Delhi and at other places in India in November, 1984. I also started participation in...

Why Jews and Christians do Not Accept Islam?   ‘Beware of false prophets' Proclaims the Bible. For this reason Jews and Christians reject Islam as true and authentic religion. But what proof do they have that Islam is not a True and authentic religion? Nothing.. So where is the difference? and why is there difference? Jews have even belied that Jesus Christ is send by God to all humans and especially the Jews. Christ was sent in order to put aright all the malpractices followed by the Jews. We only need to read the Four Books of the Evangel to see for ourselves how the Jews went astray from their Law and how they have strayed away from the very commands of God and how Christ warned admonished...

Mathew 13:47-52. The Kingdom of God is likened to a net that is thrown into the sea and  it gathered everything of every kind. When it was full, they drew it on shore and selected the good fish from the bad. The good ones were put on the ships but the bad ones were thrown away. This tells as that at the end of the world, this is what will happen. The just shall be separated from the wicked and led on to eternal life with their Lord and Savior. The wicked will go on into the eternal furnace of fire where they will burn forever. Jesus went on to say that whoever has been called to be a scribe or a preacher of the Gospel is like a householder who brings forth from his treasure new and old things. This...

Why Jews and Christians are Cursed in Islam? In this World, In the Hereafter   Jews and Christians do not accept Islam as an authentic religion. They do consider Islam as a false religion and Muhammad as a false prophet. Islam considers those of the Jews and the Christians who do not accept Islam as blasphemers. Islam in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad curses those who Jews and Christians who do not accept Islam as the revelation of God. The Qur'an in particular relates how most of the Jews and how most of the Christians do not accept the Qur'an as the word of God.

"If it were only that simple," you say. If you limited yourself to doing business with companies with a spotless credit record, your pool of potential customers would be quite Small. And unfortunately, as a growing business, you often have no choice but to do business with anyone who wants to do business with you.

The Capitalist system produces two classes: the Proletariat class and the Capitalist class. The first class produces all of the wealth of society, according to the instructions of the Capitalist class. The Capitalist class is composed of investors, businessmen, entrepreneurs, all persons who are in possession of the means of production. We are all aware of the variation of this class. There is the small business owner, who might make anywhere in between $50,000 and $250,000 in a year. There are business chain owners who probably make up to four times as much. Then there is the corporation: a single business that is owned unevenly by many investors. Those who are asked to lead the corporation, the...

I have a 6 year old nephew and he is very active. They say that when a child reaches two to seven year old, they become extra active. My nephew runs around the house, jumps incessantly on top of the bed and tumbles and flips on top of the sofa. They have relentless energy that makes you want to scream. If you give them a toy to play with, it seems that it takes them just a while to be or seem interested in it then they move on to other things or jump and run again. Taking care of your six year old is very good exercise for the adult babysitter. But if you want to rest for a while and have these kids distracted for at least 30 minutes, buy them a twist car or a wiggle racer. The wiggle racer comes in...

The Hamsa is a very interesting symbol used in both Islamic and Jewish culture. Most commonly, the Hamsa is made in the shape of a hand with five fingers outstretched. There is, however, the unique Cohanim Hamsa. In this position, the forefinger and third finger are joined from one side, and the ring finger and the little finger are joined from the other side. This forms the Hebrew letter "shin" and is the position of a Cohen's fingers when he blesses the congregation. The name "Hamsa" ("Hansa" in Sanskrit, or "Al Khamsa" in Arabic) is from the Semitic root word for five, and is a very ancient symbol in the Middle East. Although it is an ancient symbol, the Hamsa is still popular today and is...

How times have changed! Today Megillat Esther can be downloaded onto your iPod and conveniently slipped out of your pocket for the reading in shul - including various sound effects you can play when the word "Haman" is recited. Quite a far cry from the megillah scrolls of yore! One particularly striking Megillat Esther - one of the earliest known - is housed at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Written in the 14th or 15th century CE, it features extraordinary calligraphy and an unusual scroll height. Stretching 32 inches from top to bottom (for comparison, large Ashkenazi megillot rarely reach 24 inches in height) the scroll is difficult to fold on the bima during the reading. When the...

Marriage is a wonderful ceremony commemorating the union of two individuals. There are many ways you can celebrate, from the lavish to the austere, but there are a few things no Jewish wedding should be without. 1. Gold wedding rings: Rings have long been a symbol of fidelity and love. There are often Hebrew Scipture inscriptions on the inside of the rings. Gold represents completeness without any flaw. The ring does not represent the amount of money a couple has, but instead symbolizes their devotion for one another. Since gold is rare, but not as rare as a diamond, the gold ring is a sign of practicality, and demonstrates a Jew's ability to provide a nice ring for his wife. 2. Badeken: Because the...
