Education now is a part of an organized affair of a progressive and advanced society. It is a key to all those changes pertaining to man, modification of his behavior and his surrounding. Educational institution are, there fore, extension of organized exposures to the students; higher the frequency, quality, variety, and other exposures, better the education of the students and greater the confidence in them. A modern generation student has to be driven and prompted to observe happenings of everything in and around him. The universe and the forces within and without are incessantly at work. The education of a man depends on the magnitude and intensity of his observation and receptiveness of the forces. One of the best qualities of human is curiosity and because of it, human observes, enquires, explores, experiments, creates and examines the social, the physical and the biological world around him. He examines and questions the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of these forces, argues and innovates and thus enriches himself and his world around.
Education is the most sensitive affair. It is difficult to impart and equally arduous to learn but it is gigantic. The day to day happenings of minor and major natures in educational institutions influence its blood pressure and their lifelines. It contributes in maintaining and deteriorating emotional health of the campus. A school reflects the mood, echoes the rhythm and emits the fragrance of the sensibility of the campus. Education is not an exercise confined only within the four walls of the class room and books, but includes many other positive expansions, giving an opportunity to students to solve, invent, explore, experience and adventure. This has hardly invited the attention of the people so far and has thus remained untouched and unaccomplished.
The schooling in India takes place in a classroom of a school or a college. An ideal class has a seating capacity of forty to forty five students approximately with an area of 360 sq. Feet. The student clad tidy and colorful prescribed school dresses with a neck tie- a semblance of future executive in the making, reports to their classes and stay for six or seven hours – valuable period of the day. No less than five to seven school teachers of well-known subjects come and go turn by turn.
Thus several million students in the classroom undergo the experience of the same pattern of education-classroom teaching, some campus activities, examination, issue of certificates and progress cards. The stint of the teaching and learning is bounded in forty to forty five minutes for each subject. Is real teaching and learning happening? Is real destiny of India shaped in her class room as observed by the Dr. Kothari, Chairman Education Commission 1964-1966? Is effective learning happening in our class rooms?Is there any scope for the replacement of class room teaching? Can we reverse this order? No, not at all. It is not going to be reversed at least for decades to come. The aberrations, pitfalls witnessed in form of absence, irregularity, unacceptable social behavior, unfair means in examinations, abuses, show of muscle power, bullying among students are due to lack of quality class room teaching.
The teaching and learning process is happening in an atmosphere of tension. There are conflicts in the minds of the teachers and taught. It is dull and uninteresting. It is also happening in a climate of love and hate. What we witness in the form of damages done to the fans, lights, furniture, filthy language and ugly abusive figures, drawings, slogans on the college walls, notice boards, inside the bath rooms and toilets, passes to school mates and teaching fraternity, is the out come in the name of poor teaching and learning in class rooms. Answer of these questions shall be traced in the following paragraphs.
I remember an incident of a class room teaching in our college .It was recess and class X students had left their seats. While passing class XI Arts stream, all of us stood up spontaneously as we were fascinated to English teaching going on in the class. All the senior students were absorbed and did not bother their recess. The crowds of students neither bother to take tiffin. Those were very sweet moments. There was a pin drop silence every where. All three sides of class room were thronged by the onlookers who were class IX and X students, delaying their tiffins but relishing the sweet words coming out of the sweet tongue of the teacher. Those students belonged to semi urban city and three quarters of them came from villages. Their mother tongue was neither Hindi nor English.
The way he was addressing, the way his head moved towards his left and right as mode of address, the way he moved back and forth, the way he pronounced the words, and the accent which he delivered the sentences, teaching has mesmerizing effect on his students and uninvited audiences. Neither class nor they were in hurry to leave the class. There were no teaching aids, he was not trained. Later after fifteen years of teaching, he joined a teachers training college as my class mate which helped him in becoming a principal. Although I am unable to pin point his merits of teaching, I vaguely remember that he was playing the role model of an excellent teacher. He was reproducing true feelings, emotions, current of thoughts of the author or the poet. The very polished sweet sentences made the real impact. He must have planned to import the requisite tempo in his students.
A professor of history in Allahabad University was so popular that non –regular university scholar, advocates, senior citizens used to come to attend his classes. He was none but Dr.Ishwari Prasad short medium complexion person who even at the age of ninety years stunned me by his presence in the late evening in the university library .The incident took place in the year 1970.
We come across another category of teachers, who throw the blame of their failures to students and every body else, except themselves. I saw a senior teacher bringing a student holding his neck to the principal for disciplinary action. His fault was neither did he pay attention to his teaching nor did he allow his class mate to listen to the teacher. On interrogation, the boy revealed that he asked a clarification which the teacher answered in a few fumbled en -cohesive sentences and wrote them on black board, besides accusing the students their inability to learn. Another problem was that the students did not understand what the teacher taught to them.
A post graduate teacher of science, a good teacher indeed but was hated by many of his students due to his rough and cruel behavior. There were reports of cow dung and human excretion thrown on the doors and windows of his house this act was executed by the students during the night.
It is also true that there will always be some great teachers in a school /college/university /departments but to be great teachers is not impossible. Some of the researchers and surveys have shown that one of twenty bright students could achieve distinction in their latter years, where as nineteen out of twenty average persons could attain exceptional success due to their strong will and study efforts. This can be acquired.
The following few essential competencies of teaching are identified in the order given here under and these shall be discussed in some details by the author.
These are:
(1) The Moral Dynamics.
(2) The Emotional Dynamics.
(3) The Personal behavior and concern for their students.
(4) The Social Dynamics.
(5) The Educational and Professional Dynamics.
Moral Dynamics
Before coming to school, a child of Indian origin has acquired sufficient moral background from his family, near and dear and others. A teacher has to fit in to the moral perception of the student first. A liar, dishonest, partial, corrupt, drug addict and infamous is not accepted by him. He may listen but never learn how ever good his teaching is. His hatred on account of personal disqualification of the teacher inhibits his learning and development.
It is also true that there is negative correlation between bad person ,teaching attitudes and scholarship. It is there fore necessary that right signal about his the morality of the teacher is goes among his students. While dealing with pure sciences a teacher comes across tips for moral lessons to his class. He discovers them. He invents them as one can not be found on the surface. The efforts on his parts make him important in the eyes of the students who will not like to miss him. The committee on moral education instructions (1959)defined moral values. Any thing that value among the students is by setting examples the teachers them selves.
The Emotional Dynamics
The teaching community is dealing with pupils who are at times very frustrating. They do and say that makes teachers mad and they react with anger. Anger breeds behavioral changes which in turn result in even more frustrating outcomes. A crisis emerges from a simple management situation. Reacting with anger is reacting as child to another angry person as one child fighting with another. Staying calm despite the provocations is being as an adult. Not only, it is more productive state, but also it helps to stop the anger from the other person.
Anger can be a cover of fear . Some time when we are corrected for the mistake, we see the correction as an attack on our failure and begin to fear for our continued ability to the job. Angry people are the most scared and most inadequate. Angry peoples are dictators for the period of their anger. Dictators are people who know they are right thus anyone who does not agree with them is wrong. They think that those who are wrong are bad should be punished. Blame is central to all angers. It is blame that leads to an unfair outcome. The more we blame, the more they get and ask the task we are blaming them for. By allocating blame, we teach other people to hate themselves and to be depressed. They cease to improve. Letting people that we expect good performance will have them trying to live up to own belief. Anger can have many effects:
It increases our frustrations.
It prevents us from solving problems.
It makes us a poor role models for other to copy.
It leads to more anger as the cycle of internal conflict continues.
It makes other people angry.
It can make physically ill.
Management of fear does not succeed for long. It breeds anarchy and revolt. Fighting anger with anger only results in twice as much as anger. Such behavior patterns are due to the fault of parents and upbringing. This pattern can be changed if one wishes.
How to get rid of them?
Smile as speak and look.
Control your anger.
The student not to be ignored.
Whenever there is an accusation apply logic and analyze the facts. Listen to the angry person, be fair all times. Those who lack the self confidence are always to believe the worst. They should be given the benefit of doubt. We should make sure that our meaning and intents are clear.
Personal Dynamics
Teaching imposes a great deal more strain than one imagines. Although all of us aspire to gain the children confidence and respect but many of us fail to get their respect. Perhaps we firmly believe that getting respect is our fundamental right and legacy passed on to us. We believe all who come to school are duty bound to offer regards irrespective of our ability and contribution in our teaching. Such persons live in fools paradise. A wise teacher or principal knows where as many like but ,some don’t ,one or two hate and are always looking for an opportunity to cause physical assault. The students try to form opinions and reactions. There are reasons behind such an undesirable behavior. W are reasonable .We have already hurt and antagonize them. Some of colleagues out of jealousy incite the students against the teachers. The teacher should have the strengths to face and mould the situation in their favor and over come the hostile attitudes of the students.
A good school has student counselor and committees. The students are encouraged to write weekly review of the class room teaching and school programs as a whole which the subject teacher committee of activity in-charges read and rectify on the week ends. One of the student is asked to read his comments on various aspects of the school in school assembly. That is how they grow and we can improve. It can be class wise, subject wise and house wise.
Social Dynamics
The rapport of the teacher grows when he takes batch of students out side the school for educational trips. The responsibility is given to as many as students as possible. Once they come to know that you are sharing their personal concerns and some problems ,they know how important you are for them. Important enough to balance and out weigh the evils. They should feel that you also respect them. Our job is to stimulate and drive students’ efforts in to constructive channel. Limited activity are exposed to the full to encourage them to speak up for them selves.
Professional Dynamics
The professional competency demands the subject command, presentation of lesson and training. A lot of excellent books are available but I suggest a book –Art of Teaching by Guilbert Height for discussion on professional dynamics. I will say it is body not soul of education of a man .What we are missing now a days is soul and there fore crisis in the institutions. All paid jobs according to Aristtle absorb and degrade minds is true to a greater extent. Most of us enslave ourselves to our pay masters more so to the private organizations. The globalization followed by privatization in trade oriented hands has robbed of the real commitments towards education and the society.

Gene study explains spread of Islam
This refers to a piece of news appearing in Deccan Chronicle Hyderabad in its morning edition of 24th of October on page 3 column four-eight ,summary of and an outcome of a research study done in collaboration by the city based-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology(CCMB ) under the caption: Gene study explains spread of Islam(COPY ENCLOSED)’. It’s findings are historically very convincing. However the conclusion must not be taken as a unique and novel exploration. I am quoting some invaluable information: Origin of Homan species, ancient and subsiquent settlements on the earth, rise of new generations after every destructions, origin, emission and tracks of sperm, growth and development of foetus in the wombs of mothers as revealed in the divine verses of Holy Quran. Some of the existing and known findings in these areas can be confirmed, verified, and explored by the scientist of your class.
The family tree of human beings on earth dates back with the abode of Adam and Eve who were descended on earth (the first couple sent by the creator as a result of their wrongs committed by them on the instance of the Satan) in the Paradise by tempting to taste the for bidden fruit.
The existence of Satan; the community of scientist may not believe this theory .They have lived in mystification whether there is a Creature in visible form as Satan , made of fire visible to some and invisible to many? It is merely a feeble told by feeble minds according to some. It has its existence according to many.
All the religions which we follow have always spoken in an un equivocal term that it was created long before Adam and his generation .Since the Satan was a conspirator in their ouster from Heaven, he was also thrown out of heaven.
Adam,s descent:
There are many traditions concerning the place of Adam's descent upon earth. Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Ibn Abbas said: "Adam descended on land 'Dihna' between Mecca and Taif." AlHassan said that Adam descended in India and Eve in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Iblis Bodistiman(Iraq), and the serpent in Ashahan (Iran). This last was also reported by Ibn Hatim.Ass'ady related that Adam descended with the Black Stone (a large black stone set into the wall of the ka'ba in Mecca. It is said to have come from Paradise) in India, and he had a handful of the seeds of Paradise. He sowed them in India and they grew into the fragrant tree there in. Ibn Umar said that Adam descended on As-Safa and Eve on Al Marwa ( names of two mountains in the vicinity of the sacred house in Mecca. Part of the rites of pilgrimage (hajj) includes pacing between these two hills in commemoration of Hajar's search for water). This was also reported by Ibn Hatim. Abdul Razzaq reported that Abi Musa Al-shari said that when Allah ordered Adam to descend from Paradise to earth, He taught him the making of everything and provided him with the crops from Paradise. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "The best of days on which the sun has risen is Friday. One this day Adam was created, and on this day he was descended to earth." (al Bukhari) The Adam Bridge(Ram Setu ) may be an evidence of his presence in this peninsula.
Adam's Life on Earth
Adam knew he bade farewell to peace and he left Paradise. On earth he had to face conflict and struggle. No sooner had one ended than another began. He also had to toil to sustain himself. He had to protect himself with clothes and weapons and protect his wife and children from the wild beasts. Above all, he had to struggle with the spirit of evil. Satan, the cause of his expulsion from Paradise, continued to beguile him and his children in an effort to have them thrown into the eternal hellfire. The battle between good and evil is continuous, but those who follow Allah's guidance and should fear nothing while those who disobey Allah and follow Iblis will be damned along with him. Adam grasped all of this and with the knowledge of this suffering he started his life on the earth. The only thing that allowed his grief was that he was master of the earth and had to make it yield to him. He was the one who had to perpetuate, cultivate and construct and populate the earth. He was also the one who had to procreate and raise children who would change and improve the world.
The First Four Children
The pinnacle of earthly bliss was reached when Adam and Eve witnessed the birth of their first children, a set of twins. Adam was a devoted father and Eve a contented mother. The twins were Cain (Qabil) and his sister. Later Eve gave birth to a second set of twins, Abel (Habil) and his sister. The family enjoyed the bounties and fruits of the earth provided by their Lord. The children grew up to be strong and healthy young adults. Cain tilled the land while Abel raised cattle.
Cain's Disobedience
The time arrived when the two young men desired life partners. This was part of Allah’s plan for mankind, to multiply and form nations with different cultures and colors. Allah revealed to Adam that he should marry each son to the twin sister of the other. Adam instructed his children according to Allah's command, but Cain was displeased with the partner chosen for him, for Abel's twin sister was not as beautiful as his own. Adam saw among the prophets like lamps among his progeny.
Flood in the time of prophet Noah:
The students of theology, history and literature will agree that Flood in the time of prophet Noah engulfed the entire population, then drowned the entire population except Noah and his very small followers/the pair of creations . The Scientist may be stunned to know that he had lived for about nine hundred and fifty years. The story of the devastating flood is revealed /depicted in the Holy Quran in its following verses:
(26)(Noah) said: “O my Lord!
Help me: for that they
Accuse me of falsehood!”
27. So We inspired him:
(With this message); Construct
The Arch within Our sight
And under Our guidance :then
When comes Our command,
And the oven
Gushes forth ,take thou on board
Pairs of every species, male
And female, and thy family-
Except those of them
Against whom the word
Has already gone forth:
And address Me not
In favour of the wrong doers:
For they shall be drowned
(In the flood).
28....................,29...........................30.
Verily in this there are
Signs(for men to understand):
Lo! We put (men) to test
Rise of new generation:
A new generation was raised thereafter. This is confirmed in the lines given here under and from the extracts of Holy Quran besides being recorded in the Bible, Torah and Zubur.
31. Then We raised after them
Another generation
32. And We sent to them
A messenger from among themselves,
Saying “worship Allah!
Ye have no other god
But Him. Will ye not
Fear( Him)?”
History goes that Noah had three sons namely :Haam ,Saam and Yafis. They were sent to different directions of Earth to carry out basically framings. Haam moved towards South and he was gifted with six sons. The eldest one was Hindkah. Hind (India now) was named after his name .He was ruler of this country. The second son ;Sindekah(Sindh) came to settle in this country. He laid foundation of the present city of Multan and Thhatta now in Pakistan .Multan and Thhatta were named after his sons names. The other sons were: Habash,Afranz,Harmaz and Boya. Each one of them were king of their territories(nations).
Saam was nominated heir of Noah. He had ninety nine sons. Only few of them got name and fame .They are;Arshad,Arfakhshad,Cay, Nuad,Buad,Eram,Quibt,Aad,Quahtan. All the tribes of Arab belong to their progeny. Prophets Hud, Saleh, and Abraham are also his descendant.
The second son of Arfakhshad is Kewmars .He was emperor of Ajam Amjad. ,He had six sons.Siamak,Faras,Iraq,Tur,Dafan and Sham.His son Sham was his heir and the rest of his brothers settled in countries which were named after their names.
Noah ordered his son Yafis to move to North and East. The name of his eldest is Arshad. The Turks are his descendant. The Mughals, Uzbeks, Chughtayee ,Irani, and Roamans are the races from Arshad.The name of his second son was Chin.The Chinees are from his race. The country was named after his name Chin. The name of his third son is Aryadesh . Tazik, Gaur, Saqulab are his descendant. Their settlement extended in North up to black sea/Meditterian sea.
Now one can say that all the human beings come from one couple; Adam and eve. Ancient as well as population of the later years Indian population is direct descendant of Noah’s new generation.
The composition of the land and mankind: we have white ,red, black and yellow ones;
Abi Musa al Sha'arai narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore from mankind we have white ,red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between them." (Sahih al Bukhari).
Ibn Masud and other companions of the Prophet (PBUH) said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to get Him clay there from. The earth said: "I seek refuge in Allah from your decreasing my quantity or disfiguring me." So Gabriel returned and did not take anything. He said: "My Lord, the land sought refuge in You and it granted."
So Allah sent Michael for the same purpose, and the land sought refuge with Allah and it was granted. So he went back and said to Allah what Gabriel has said before him. Then Allah sent the Angel of Death, and the land sought refuge in Allah, the angel said: "I also seek refuge with Allah from returning without carrying out His command." So he took clay from the face of the earth and mixed it. He did not take from one particular place, but rather he took white, red, and black clay from different places. The Angel of Death ascended with it, Allah soaked the clay till it became sticky. Then Allah said to the angels:"Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him
(his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." (Chapter 38:71-72 Quran). Allah the Almighty revealed:"Remember when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves saying: 'Am I not your Lord?' They said: 'Yes! We testify' lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection:. 'Verily we have been unaware of this'. Or lest you should say: 'It was only our father afore time who took others as partners in worship along with Allah and we were merely their descendants after them; will you then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practiced al batil (polytheism) and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah?'Thus do We explain the Ayah (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations etc) in details that they may turn unto the truth". (Ch 7:172-174 Quran).Adam's progeny declared: "Our Lord, we bear witness that You are our Lord; we have no other Lord but Allah. Allah raised their father Adam, and he looked at them and saw those of them who were rich and those who were poor, and those who had good forms and those who did not. Adam said: "O Allah! I wish You to make Your servants equal." Allah replied "I love being thanked."
The Reason for Adam's Creation
After this lesson about freedom Adam learned another lesson, one about knowledge. Adam
realized that Iblis was the symbol of evil in the universe and that the angels were the symbol of good. However he did not yet know anything about himself. Then Allah made him perceive his true identity and the reason for his creation, and the secret of his glorification.
Allah the Exalted said: "He taught Adam all the names of everything". (Ch 2:31 Quran).
Teaching Adam
Almighty Allah granted Adam the power to know the natures of all things and to summarize them by names; that is a bird, that is a star, that is a tree, etc Allah implanted in Adam an insatiable need for and love of knowledge and a desire to bequeath knowledge to his children. This was the reason for his creation and the secret of his glorification. After Adam had learned the names of all things, along with their properties and uses, Allah presented them to the angels and said: Variation of Where Adam, Eve, and Iblis
12. Man We did create from a quintessence (clay);
13. Then We placed him
As (a drop of) sperm
In a place of rest, Firmly fixed;
14. Then We made the sperm
Into clot of congealed blood;
Then of that clot We made
A foetus lump; the We
Made out of that lump
Bones and clothed the bones
With flesh; then We developed
Out of it another creature.
So blessed be Allah.
The best to create!
(Surat-ul-mominun)
5. O mankind if ye have
A doubt about the resurrection,
(Consider that We created you
Out of dust, then out of
Sperm, then out of leech like
Clot, then out of a morsel
Of flesh, partly formed, in order
That We may manifest
(Our power) to you;
And We cause whom We will
To rest in the wombs
For an appointed term,
Then do we bring you out
As babes, then (foster you)
That ye may reach your age
Of full strength; and some
Of you are called up to die,
And some sent back
To the feeblest old age,
So that you know nothing
After having known (much).
And (further), thou seest
The barren and life less,
But when we pour down
Rain on it, it is stirred
(Life),it swells,
And it puts forth every kind
Of beautiful growth (in pairs).
(Surat-ul-Haz)
Origin, emission of sperm and it’s route:
Please, as far as my experience and knowledge goes none including scientists from the East West till date have the knowledge of origin, emission of sperm and it’s route .The following information may be very interesting from research point of view. Unquestionable light is thrown in the Holy Quoran.( (Surat-at-tariq).
5. Now let man but think
From what he is created !
6. He is created from
A drop emitted-
7. Proceeding from between
The back bone and the ribs:
(Surat-at-tariq).
Religions and Races:
Religions have been corrupted so the history also. The religions have been diluted so the history also. The process of dilutions is continuing even to -day. Much of them we do and say is man made. Who does not know who has made him? How has he been made? The Epicentre of religion emanates from their brain quoted from the historical scriptures (revealed) but wave of descriptions, interpretations, and emphasis goes on extending at times beyond recognition with tongues of so called self proclaimed scholars.
The family tree of human beings on earth dates back with the abode of Adam and Eve who were descended on earth (the first couple sent by the creator as a result of their wrongs committed by them on the instance of the Satan) in the Paradise by tempting to taste the for bidden fruit.
The existence of Satan; the community of scientist may not believe this theory .They have lived in mystification whether there is a Creature in visible form as Satan , made of fire visible to some and invisible to many?

Saam was nominated heir of Noah. He had ninety nine sons. Only few of them got name and fame .They are;Arshad,Arfakhshad,Cay, Nuad,Buad,Eram,Quibt,Aad,Quahtan. All the tribes of Arab belong to their progeny. Prophets Hud, Saleh, and Abraham are also his descendant.
The second son of Arfakhshad is Kewmars .He was emperor of Ajam Amjad. ,He had six sons.Siamak,Faras,Iraq,Tur,Dafan and Sham.His son Sham was his heir and the rest of his brothers settled in countries which were named after their names.
Noah ordered his son Yafis to move to North and East. The name of his eldest is Arshad. The Turks are his descendant. The Mughals, Uzbeks, Chughtayee ,Irani, and Roamans are the races from Arshad.The name of his second son was Chin.The Chinees are from his race. The country was named after his name Chin. The name of his third son is Aryadesh . Tazik, Gaur, Saqulab are his descendant. Their settlement extended in North up to black sea/Meditterian sea.
Now one can say that all the human beings come from one couple; Adam and eve. Ancient as well as population of the later years Indian population is direct descendant of Noah’s new generation.
The composition of the land and mankind: we have white ,red, black and yellow ones;
Abi Musa al Sha'arai narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore from mankind we have white ,red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between them." (Sahih al Bukhari).
Ibn Masud and other companions of the Prophet (PBUH) said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to get Him clay there from. The earth said: "I seek refuge in Allah from your decreasing my quantity or disfiguring me." So Gabriel returned and did not take anything. He said: "My Lord, the land sought refuge in You and it granted."
So Allah sent Michael for the same purpose, and the land sought refuge with Allah and it was granted. So he went back and said to Allah what Gabriel has said before him. Then Allah sent the Angel of Death, and the land sought refuge in Allah, the angel said: "I also seek refuge with Allah from returning without carrying out His command." So he took clay from the face of the earth and mixed it. He did not take from one particular place, but rather he took white, red, and black clay from different places. The Angel of Death ascended with it, Allah soaked the clay till it became sticky. Then Allah said to the angels:"Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him
(his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." (Chapter 38:71-72 Quran). Allah the Almighty revealed:"Remember when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves saying: 'Am I not your Lord?' They said: 'Yes! We testify' lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection:. 'Verily we have been unaware of this'. Or lest you should say: 'It was only our father afore time who took others as partners in worship along with Allah and we were merely their descendants after them; will you then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practiced al batil (polytheism) and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah?'Thus do We explain the Ayah (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations etc) in details that they may turn unto the truth". (Ch 7:172-174 Quran).Adam's progeny declared: "Our Lord, we bear witness that You are our Lord; we have no other Lord but Allah. Allah raised their father Adam, and he looked at them and saw those of them who were rich and those who were poor, and those who had good forms and those who did not. Adam said: "O Allah! I wish You to make Your servants equal." Allah replied "I love being thanked."
The Reason for Adam's Creation
After this lesson about freedom Adam learned another lesson, one about knowledge. Adam
realized that Iblis was the symbol of evil in the universe and that the angels were the symbol of good. However he did not yet know anything about himself. Then Allah made him perceive his true identity and the reason for his creation, and the secret of his glorification.
Allah the Exalted said: "He taught Adam all the names of everything". (Ch 2:31 Quran).
Teaching Adam
Almighty Allah granted Adam the power to know the natures of all things and to summarize them by names; that is a bird, that is a star, that is a tree, etc Allah implanted in Adam an insatiable need for and love of knowledge and a desire to bequeath knowledge to his children. This was the reason for his creation and the secret of his glorification. After Adam had learned the names of all things, along with their properties and uses, Allah presented them to the angels and said: Variation of Where Adam, Eve, and Iblis
12. Man We did create from a quintessence (clay);
13. Then We placed him
As (a drop of) sperm
In a place of rest, Firmly fixed;
14. Then We made the sperm
Into clot of congealed blood;
Then of that clot We made
A foetus lump; the We
Made out of that lump
Bones and clothed the bones
With flesh; then We developed
Out of it another creature.
So blessed be Allah.
The best to create!
(Surat-ul-mominun)
5. O mankind if ye have
A doubt about the resurrection,
(Consider that We created you
Out of dust, then out of
Sperm, then out of leech like
Clot, then out of a morsel
Of flesh, partly formed, in order
That We may manifest
(Our power) to you;
And We cause whom We will
To rest in the wombs
For an appointed term,
Then do we bring you out
As babes, then (foster you)
That ye may reach your age
Of full strength; and some
Of you are called up to die,
And some sent back
To the feeblest old age,
So that you know nothing
After having known (much).
And (further), thou seest
The barren and life less,
But when we pour down
Rain on it, it is stirred
(Life),it swells,
And it puts forth every kind
Of beautiful growth (in pairs).
(Surat-ul-Haz)
Origin, emission of sperm and it’s route:
Please, as far as my experience and knowledge goes none including scientists from the East West till date have the knowledge of origin, emission of sperm and it’s route .The following information may be very interesting from research point of view. Unquestionable light is thrown in the Holy Quoran.( (Surat-at-tariq).
5. Now let man but think
From what he is created !
6. He is created from
A drop emitted-
7. Proceeding from between
The back bone and the ribs:
(Surat-at-tariq).
Religions and Races:
Religions have been corrupted so the history also. The religions have been diluted so the history also. The process of dilutions is continuing even to -day. Much of them we do and say is man made. Who does not know who has made him? How has he been made? The Epicentre of religion emanates from their brain quoted from the historical scriptures (revealed) but wave of descriptions, interpretations, and emphasis goes on extending at times beyond recognition with tongues of so called self proclaimed scholars.
The Telangana imbroglio
The Telangana imbroglio has bogged down me too. I have stayed in this region (city of Hyderabad) for more than a decade and had an opportunity to interact with scores of people of all hue and shade. I came across people where masses in this region did not seem determined and agitated to find solutions of their immediate and remote needs through segregation of their Telgu brothers by formation of Telangana. The Telangana movement is largely the brainchild of a defeated politician when ousted from political parties of eminence in the state .He is said to have started vouching this cause. He contested about two general elections on this plank. He succeeded to gain some seats when he entered alliance with the congress. His party licked dust in the recently concluded general election of the parliament and assembly. His confidence could be seen when he contested parliamentary elections from two constituencies of Telangana region .He lost one .His party could get only about ten assembly seats and none of his party contestants succeeded in the district of Hyderabad and R.R.District .What answer they have to offer to the people of India with respect to their following in this region. He has hardly any no locus standee to vouch cause of Telangana.
It’s an irony that he resorted to hunger strike and incited the feelings of the people here. He is exploiting the emotionally laden citizens of the state where love to commit suicide for no good reasons is widespread on feeble grounds. The charge that Andhraites are exploiting is unfounded .I don’t think that those spear heading separate state agitation can come forward with statistics to prove their points.
The Home Ministers announcement on 9th of December 2009 that the process of formation of Telangana state would be initiated soon, came as a bolt from the blue for the MLAs and MPs of this Telangana region and all other belonging to the rest of Andhra Pradesh. None of them were actually anticipating or were ready for this news. The confusion and chaos pursued .Now one can hear change of guards in political arena, shifting of the loyalty every day. All parties are divided. The MLAs and MPs are searching for their brand new political footing in this changed situation which seem slipping from the underneath of their feet .All are faltering One wonders as to why the people from Andhra region are not being accepted by their Telgu brothers. If they have as alleged opened schools, colleges, Institutes of engineering, managements and medicals and ventures in other fields and are also leading in real estate business. , the question remain unanswered who are actually benefited from their above ventures. Are not the students from Telangana region getting admissions? Are admissions based on unconstitutional methods and are unfair to the extent to deprive and bar the students of Telangana region out of healthy competitions. Are the state government adopting discriminatory yard sticks for them? No one can question their fairness. No one so far has come forward with reliable data to convince us about the veracity of their allegation.
The Telangana region is dependent on other regions of the state in respect of paddy crop and agriculture products etc. Numerous national Institutes such as Department of Atomic Energy Units: Nuclear Fuel Complex, Electronic Corporation of India ,Atomic Mineral Division, National Institute of Nutrients, CCMB and similar other Institutes of national reputes ,Research centres, Multinational companies are in existence in the city of Hyderabad. All of them must have been established on the efforts of all. I have doubts if Shri.KCR can claim o have one in his account.
To say that the development is neglected in this region is absolutely baseless. What have fascinated the Andhraites to rush to settle and grab everything as charged by the protagonists? Was it the barren terra firma that mesmerised them or the room for development?
The emotions have been raised very high and the political situation is moving fast towards disastrous end. The Berlin wall is in the offing. The historians know the unification of Italy and Germany as also the collapse of Berlin wall .If the divisions are the solutions, what were the compulsions to erect them.
It is an irony of destiny that a race speaking the same language (Telgu)’is allegedly threatened by its own brother. It is a rare phenomenon. Language affinity anywhere in the world is deeper than the religious affinity. Language affinity is the first religion. A religion with followers of different speaking languages is secondary. This unnatural phenomenon shall definitely lead to turmoil a head. Unforeseen events are to happen. Emergence of Separate Telangana state will neither offer sweet cake to one and all.
Demanding separate state is similar to the war imposed by USA on Iraq on very false and fabricated ground. Some powerful European Countries too participated in this war.
Andhra Pradesh as a whole is known for its developments. Discrimination if any is but to exit. Domination of one section over the other may be due to –survival of the fittest and elimination of the weakest in the world.
The role of BJP is laughable. Where they are in the state and who are they to speak in favor of separate state that too at the top of their voice. Separate small states suits them and their peer RSS. They are trying to wash their hands in flowing currents (Telangana agitation) of Ganges
TDP party which had been favoring united Andhra till yesterday has its Volta face now. This party President C.Naidu is in dilemma and ambivalent. Till yesterday, he spoke of united AP. Suddenly has extended support to the people spear heading this movement. He again condemned the central government for the announcement of formation of Telangana State .He damned the union Government for its hasty decision. He was hundred percent sure that the formation of state shall never be accepted by the center. He too fell in trap and fell flat .The declaration by P. Chidambaram Union Home Minister was a bomb shell.
A few protagonist intellectuals are acknowledged as founder of the movement since long. They cannot give it up. They will fail to survive and treated as traitors. To say the movement is more than sixty years old, therefore it was bound to come up. I heard a BBC Journalist based at this City indirectly advocating the separate Telangana on this plea. It does not sound well.
