Bid'a are things that were brought into Islam that are not in the sunnah, such as acts of worship that are added to Islam.

Allah's messenger said, "The worst of things are those that are newly- invented every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is hellfire".

There are two groups, one group believes that there are two kinds of bid'a (good and bad bid'a), and the other group (mostly shia muslims) believes only one group of bid'a which is only bad bid'a.

How Ecosystems and Biodivercity works

Firstly how does an ecosystem work, an ecosystem works when organisms work together and interact with each other.
When more 
organisms interact with each other, the more complex it is, and if it is more complex it is more secure.

Why is it better for it to be more complex than a simpler ecosystem? 
One reason is biodiversity, biodiversity is when there are a lot of organisms in an ecosystem thus being more biodiverse.

What is biodiversity

and why is it important in a food chain?
well, there are organisms that work in a food chain, for example, let's take a deer, a plant, and a lion,
the order of the food chain would be Plant > Deer > Lion.

The plant is what is called a "Producer" as the plant produces the vegetables for the deer to eat, and then the lion can eat the deer, and then when the lion poops, the plant takes back the nutrients in the poop and make more vegetables for the other deer to eat, and the cycle repeats.

What is the lack of biodiversity?

Okay, let's try another example of biodiversity, let's take the internet, it is like an ecosystem right?
Let's take your phone and Google as examples, if your phone randomly disconnects from the internet the whole internet is still intact, as it is not heavily reliant on it but if Google randomly stopped working, the ecosystem of the internet would collapse.

This is exactly like if you remove the plant from the Plant > Deer > Lion example, as that would cause the deer to die due to lack of food, and the Lion because no more deers.

But that's when a complex ecosystem comes in. It is for the deer to feed even if one species of plant is dead, there are more to eat and to keep the deer population alive.

The same with Lions, as they don't only eat deer, they also eat other animals. And that is why a more complex biodiversity ecosystem is pessary for a large ecosystem to thrive.

And why when animals go extinct it is bad for biodiversity as removing the Lions would cause a large amount deer population to skyrocket and if there is more than the carrying capacity of an ecosystem it can collapse.

 We put in the effort now to go into Jannah, and we can fully relax when we are in Jannah.

There is so much more in Jannaah than this Dunya, but don't go over the top.

No, you are not

Grammar ep: 9 The Apostrophe

Quran by dr Abdul Aziz pt: 7

 Tawakul is relying on Allah but doing the means.

Tawakul is relying on Allah but leaving the means to Allah.

All the prophets gained their living through hard work, as the Prophet Muhammad was working before he became a Prophet.
When they needed a Mosque The Prophet did not say "Oh Allah give us a mosque", instead they gathered the necessary resources to build a mosque by themselves. 

All matters that go towards the unseen should be left to Allah and what is said in the book, as it does not concern us.

He asked one more time "Who is the most deserving of my companion ship", the prophet responded "your father.

History of the Flea market

The Flea market was named after the tiny bloodsucking Fleas.

Usually used for second-hand items, the difference between Flea marketing and street vending is that Flea markets often have more than one stall.

Although the meaning has existed for millennia, according to a theory, it is said that a "Fly Market", in 18th century New York City, located in Maiden Lane. 
Going along with "Marché aux puces", which means Market with fleas. As it is speculated that the reason why it was named is that Fleas liked to hide and infest old furniture being sold at the "Flea" markets.

Biology pt 2: Feedback

 The reason why the human body is telling you to go into the shade and making you produce sweat to try to cool down the body.

Homeostasis is to maintain internal conditions despite external conditions, which often use negative feedback loops. A Stimulus (the hot sun) is something that will cause a change in internal conditions, Detection (detecting the hot sun) is detecting what happened during the stimulus. The Response is to respond to the Hot weather and causes your body to sweat.
Named Thermoregulation.

Osmoregulation, Sameon spend half their lives in freshwater, and the other half in salt water, since the fish is used to say salt water, they cannot be jumped straight into fresh water, as the change in environment can damage or even kill them. 

Positive feedback loops are much different from Negative feedback loops, as they amplify stimuli instead.

Nothing can protect you from the day of Judgement.

Muslims often don't follow Allah because of "science".

Muslims are meant to protect and help each other. For example, when a Muslim country was at the war, other Muslim countries came to help by giving aid, or by giving money to help with war times.

Part of Imam is such as removing something harmful from the path, say a big log in the middle of a country road.

Muslims are meant to look after each other as if a fellow Muslim is lacking in sleep such as sleeping a 2am and waking up at 4am a Muslim should advise that fellow Muslim to get some sleep.

Minhaj al Muslim By Sh Tariq Appleby pt: 8

Learn the things that are important. Such as the Quran and Sunnah.

 Wealth and fame are special if you are very successful or very famous, you might not be a good Muslim (who prays on time, who fasts).

If you are only doing what you do because of your parents, or if you are doing what you are doing because of money. It is important to do things for the sake of Allah.

You are accountable for yourself. So you can't blame other people for your sins.

Strange things we have done to fruit flies

The reason why we use fruit flies is that it is easier to keep, and it is easier to study instead of using monkeys, fruit flies only have 4 pairs of chromosomes and they are also pretty similar to us, they also can get genes like cancer. 

It all started when Thomas Hunt Morgan a biologist in the 1900s, this time in history people did not know how genes pass down to generations so Morgan wanted to find out how.

During Morgan's research, he found a male fruit fly with white eyes instead of the usual red eyes, and this was only passed on to the male fruit flies and not the females. 
He found out that the generic factor that determined eye color was the same one that determined gender. And Morgan was able to get a Noble prize for his findings.

One of Morgen's students named Herman muller also used fruit files and found that X-rays and other ionizing radiations can cause genetic mutations by breaking apart chromosomes, and that can cause genes to mutate, get deleted, and multiply. And that could be passed on to the offspring.

Scientists found how an embryo works, and what an embryo can do, this research was named "Notch", and with "Notch" they found out what cells are too to transition other types of cells during "Differentiation".

Notch also keeps intact cell multiplication, cell survival, and equilibrium, meaning that any mutations and abnormal signaling can cause developmental problems and cancers.

And the use of these fruit flies is far from over, they are being used to study wound healing, the effects of pharmaceuticals, how the brain works, and cancer as a whole, teaching us about how tumors spread, and how certain cancer cells resist medication.

And they also have to sleep, so we study them for sleep too, to find out why we have to sleep.

Also, they are used in space travel, so we use them to test how space travel affects the human body.

And how microgravity works, and we know how the heart gets weaker as the heart doesn't have to fight gravity.

The Science of Beekeeping

Beekeeping known as Apiology is the oldest honey that dates back to the 35th century BC.

Beekeeping has been around for centuries and the earliest forms are in Greek myths and legends.
Beekeeping is a form of agriculture and it serves as a source of food medicine and other comedies such as candles. In Ancient Greece, beekeeping was thought of as an "agricultural art", and Aristotle who is a famous greek philosopher, he wrote lots about bees in his book Historia Animalium.

The histroy of Icecream

 It was named "Cream Ice" in the 17th century and commonly appeared at the table of Charles I.

France was introduced to a frozen desert somewhat like "Cream ice" by the Italian Catherine de Medici who 1553 
that she became Charles I's wife. It was not until 1660 that ice cream was made for the general public.

Over aaa thousand years later the famous adventurer named Marco Polo returned to Italy from the Far East with a recipe closely resembling the likes of what we call not Sherbet

The first official announcement for ice cream in the US is from a letter written in 1744 by the guest of Maryland governor Wiliam Bladen. It first appeared in the "New York Gazette", on May 12 of 1777, then Phillip Lenzi announced that it would be available "almost every day". 

President George Washington spent almost $200 USD on ice cream alone, during the summer of 1790. 

Until 1800, ice cream remained a rare dessert eaten by mostly the elite and wealthy. After 1800 insulated ice houses were invented and ice cream became an industry in America, made by the Baltimore milk dealer in 1851 named Jacob Fussel. 

Ice cream production skyrocketed after technological advances, including steam power, mechanical refrigeration, the homogenizer, and electric power and motors.
And today's total frozen daily production in the US is more than 6.4 billion pounds annually.

During WW2, the military tried to outdo the others by serving Icecream to their troops. And in 1945 the first "floating ice cream parlor" was built for the sailors in the western Pacific ocean. When WW2 ended the dairy rationing law was lifted and the Americans ate 20 quarts of ice cream per person when they celebrated the end of the war in 1946.

Sadly Ice cream parlors and traditionally made ice cream is starting to disappear, as more supermarket ice cream and store-bought ice cream are more accessible and most of the time cheaper.

The Earthquake in Turkey is a terrible thing, as 25,000 Muslims (maybe a few non-Muslims) had their lives taken from them.


Do not celebrate deaths, non-muslims, or Muslims. Even if they are not following Allah, do not say "Yay they are dead, less corruption in this world :DDDD". Don't do that.
"Whoever meets the need of his brother,  Allah will meet his needs" - Bukhari and Muslim. 

When there are earthquakes, strong winds (tornados), and similar natural disasters, we make Dua to Allah for forgiveness and to seek refuge in Allah to keep us safe. Allah sends natural disasters as a reminder to turn to him for the utmost safety.
Allah sends signs not to warn, but to be afraid of Him.

If you need help with food, money, or help with anything, Allah will provide that help,

Allah tests those with Calamites (The Turkey earthquake) and tests the Muslims and the non-muslims. There is always a benefit to the calamities and the tests sent by Allah. All you have to do is stay strong and keep going until that dark period of the test goes away.

Tests of hunger, thirst, and loss of money, are tests that Allah gives to people to test their faith in Islam.

A Martyr is five: A person who dies of a severe Stmough illness. Who died of the plague, The one who drowns not by himself but by the sea while on a boat, one who is crushed (by earthquakes), and the one that fights in the path of Allah. But there is no guarantee that it is a 100% chance they to go to Jannah, but is a significant amount to go to Jannah.

One of the signs of end times is the increase in earthquakes which is happening.

how a defibrillator works

Defibrillators work by sending an electric pulse or a shock to restore the natural heartbeat, they are commonly used for arrhythmia, and defibrillators are used for slowing down the heart rate, or a quickened heart rate.

AEDs:

Different types of defibrillators like AEDs (which are battery operated and check the heart's rhythm and send a shock to the heart to restore the normal heart rhythm) are automatic and are used for people experiencing cardiac arrest. 

They use stick pads with sensors that are attached to the chest of someone who is having a cardiac arrest, and the electrodes in the sensors check the heart rate, and a small computer in the AED checks the heart rate and administers the correct volts necessary to get the heart back to its normal heart rate.


ICDs: 

ICDs are used in surgery using the chest or stomach area, which checks for arrhythmias. Arrhythmias can interrupt the flow of blood from the heart and if it gets bad it can fully stop your heart, the ICD sends a low-powered shock, and if the low-powered shock does not work, it will send a higher-powered shock.  

The ICD can record the heart's electrical activity and heart rhythms so that it can help the healthcare provider fine-tune the programming of the device so that it gives the correct amount of electricity.

WCDs:

WDCs have sensors that attach to the skin, and they are connected by wires, that check your heart's rhythm and deliver the shock when needed, the WCD and the ICD both can do low and high-powered energy shocks, the WCD detects when you have an arrhythmia, and will send aa shock to correct the rhythm, this will take bout a minute, this device can give multiple shocks during an arrhythmia. After each  arrhythmia episode, you must replace the sensors.

Cars have controls to park drive and for extra passengers. And over time many additions were added to cars to make them drive better and be more comfortable, such as air conditioning, more comfortable seating, and suspension for smoother driving. 

Most cars are powered by an internal combustion engine and fueled by fossil fuels, but electric cars use electricity to function, it is estimated to be cheaper to buy an electric car instead of a regular fuel-powered car by the year 2025.
The most reason to use electric cars is for the smaller carbon footprint and to help with climate change, as electricity can be made from wind and water, and other sources but fossil fuels are finite. 

But repairs and maintenance, fuel, parking fees, taxes, and insurance do impact the price of a car. The costs of maintaining roads for cars are expensive.
And traffic and accidents are one of the most deadly in the world taking the lives of 46,000 people a year in 
accidents and crashes worldwide.

The benefits of driving a car are convenience (as public transport can be uncomfortable for some), and mobility to go anywhere you wish at fast speeds compared to walking. 

There are more than one Billion cars in use worldwide.

Cars are a vital point in the planet's economy and a massive industry making billions a year.
