				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="author" href="http://www.dawahskills.com/author/sameh/">sameh</a></p><p>Have you ever needed to remove a text from an image?</p>
<p>Here you are going to learn how to do this using Photoshop…</p>
<p><b>Step 1: Deleting a Text Layer</b></p>
<p>Before we get into more complicated ways of removing text in Photoshop, you should make sure you can&#8217;t remove it very easily. Check the layers panel and see if the text has a separate layer, here you can see that it does and if you simply click on this and press ‘Delete’ on the keyboard the text will disappear, problem solved. However, if the text and layer have been merged things become a bit more complicated.</p>
<p><b>Step 2: Merging the Text onto the Background</b></p>
<p>To make things harder lets press ‘Control’ and ‘Z’ to bring back that text and then merge it with the background image by clicking ‘Layers’ then ‘Flatten Image’. Now that text has become merged with the background and any part of the image that was behind the text has been lost. Fortunately, one of the coolest tools in Photoshop can be used to fix this situation; the ‘Content Aware’ tool.</p>
<p><b>Step 3: Selecting the Text</b></p>
<p>Select the ‘Magic Wand Tool’ from the toolbar on the left and click in the first letter of the text, it will become selected. Now, hold down the ‘Shift’ key and repeat this process for all of the other letters. Once you have done that click ‘Select’ in the main menu, navigate to ‘Modify’ and click expand. Enter 3 pixels and then click ‘OK’.</p>
<p><b>Step 4: Using Content Aware Fill</b></p>
<p>Now, press ‘Shift’ and ‘Backspace’ on the keyboard and in the ‘Fill’ window that appears select ‘Content-Aware’ from the drop down box and click ‘OK’. Photoshop will work some magic for a moment and then the text will disappear from the screen, only the selection will be left. Press ‘Control’ and ‘D’ and the selection will disappear and unless someone looks very closely it will be impossible to tell there was ever text there and that is how to remove text from image in Photoshop.</p>
<p>Learn it step by step from the video here…</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="author" href="http://www.dawahskills.com/author/hend/">hend</a></p><div id="attachment_9513" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.dawahskills.com/misconceptions/the-hereafter-a-logical-or-a-blind-belief/attachment/the-hereafter-a-logical-or-a-blind-belief-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-9513"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-9513 " alt="The Hereafter..A Logical or a Blind Belief 150x150 The Hereafter: A Logical or a Blind Belief?" src="http://www.dawahskills.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/The-Hereafter..A-Logical-or-a-Blind-Belief-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" title="The Hereafter: A Logical or a Blind Belief?" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This life is a test for the hereafter.</p></div>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>How can you prove the existence of the hereafter, i.e. life after death?</p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p><b>1. Belief in the Hereafter is not based on blind faith</b></p>
<p>Many people wonder as to how a person with a scientific and logical temperament can lend any credence to the belief of life after death. People assume that anyone believing in the hereafter is doing so on the basis of blind belief.</p>
<p>My belief in the hereafter is based on a logical argument.</p>
<p><b>2. Hereafter: A logical belief</b></p>
<p>There are more than a thousand verses in the Glorious Qur’an containing scientific facts (refer my book ’Qur’an and Modern Science-Compatible or Incompatible?’). Many facts mentioned in the Qur’an have been discovered in the last few centuries. But science has not advanced to a level where it can confirm every statement of the Qur’an.</p>
<p>Suppose 80% of all that is mentioned in the Qur’an has been proved 100% correct. About the remaining 20%, science makes no categorical statement, since it has not advanced to a level, where it can either prove or disprove these statements. With the limited knowledge that we have, we cannot say for sure whether even a single percentage or a single verse of the Qur’an from this 20% portion is wrong.</p>
<p>Thus when 80% of the Qur’an is 100% correct and the remaining 20% is not disproved, logic says that even the 20% portion is correct. The existence of the hereafter, which is mentioned in the Qur’an, falls in the 20% ambiguous portion which my logic says is correct.</p>
<p><b>3. Concept of peace and human values is useless without the concept of hereafter</b></p>
<p>Is robbing a good or an evil act? A normal balanced person would say it is evil. How would a person who does not believe in the hereafter convince a powerful and influential criminal that robbing is evil?</p>
<p>Suppose I am the most powerful and influential criminal in the world. At the same time I am an Intelligent and a logical person. I say that robbing is good because it helps me lead a luxurious life. Thus robbing is good for me.</p>
<p>If anybody can put forward a single logical argument as to why it is evil for me, I will stop immediately. People usually put forward the following arguments:</p>
<p><b>a.</b> The person who is robbed will face difficulties</p>
<p>Some may say that the person who is robbed will face difficulties. I certainly agree that it is bad for the person who is robbed. But it is good for me. If I rob a thousand dollars, I can enjoy a good meal at a five-star restaurant.</p>
<p><b>b.</b> Someone may rob you</p>
<p>Some people argue that someday I may be robbed. No one can rob me because I am a very powerful criminal and I have hundreds of bodyguards. I can rob anybody but nobody can rob me. Robbing may be a risky profession for a common man but not for an influential person like me.</p>
<p><b>c.</b> The police may arrest you</p>
<p>Some may say, if you rob, you can be arrested by the police. The police cannot arrest me because I have the police on my payroll. I have the ministers on my payroll. I agree that if a common man robs, he will be arrested and it will be bad for him, but I am an extraordinarily influential and powerful criminal.</p>
<p>Give me one logical reason why it is bad for me and I will stop robbing.</p>
<p><b>d.</b> It’s easy money</p>
<p>Some may say that it’s easy money and not hard-earned money. I agree completely that it is easy money, and that is one of the main reasons why I rob. If a person has the option of earning money the easy as well as the hard way, any logical person would choose the easy way.</p>
<p><b>e.</b> It is against humanity</p>
<p>Some may say it is against humanity and that a person should care for other human beings. I counter argue by asking as to who wrote this law called ‘humanity’ and why should I follow it?</p>
<p>This law may be good for the emotional and sentimental people but I am a logical person and I see no benefit in caring for other human beings.</p>
<p><b>f.</b> It is a selfish act</p>
<p>Some may say that robbing is being selfish. It is true that robbing is a selfish act; but then why should I not be selfish? It helps me enjoy life.</p>
<p>Hence all arguments that attempt to prove that robbing is an evil act are futile. In other words, there’s no logical reason for robbing being an evil act.</p>
<p>These arguments may satisfy a common man but not a powerful and influential criminal like me. None of the arguments can be defended on the strength of reason and logic. It is no surprise that there are so many criminals in this world.</p>
<p>Similarly raping, cheating etc. can be justified as good for a person like me and there is no logical argument that can convince me that these things are bad.</p>
<p>Now let us switch sides. How can a Muslim convince a powerful and influential criminal that robbing is an evil act?</p>
<p>Suppose you are the most powerful and influential criminal in the world, who has the police and the ministers on his payroll. You have army of thugs to protect you. I am a Muslim who will convince you that robbing, raping, cheating, etc. are evil acts.</p>
<p>Even if I put forth the same arguments to prove that robbing is evil the criminal will respond the same way as he did earlier.</p>
<p>I agree that the criminal is being logical and all his arguments are true only when he is the most powerful and influential criminal.</p>
<p><b>1. Every human being wants justice</b></p>
<p>Each and every human being desires justice. Even if he does not want justice for others he wants justice for himself. Some people are intoxicated by power and influence and inflict pain and suffering on others. The same people, however, would surely object if some injustice was done to them. The reason such people become insensitive to the suffering of others is that they worship power and influence. Power and influence, they feel, not only allows them to inflict injustice on others but also prevents others from doing likewise to them.</p>
<p><b>2. God is Most Powerful and Just</b></p>
<p>As a Muslim I would convince the criminal about the existence of Almighty God. This God is more powerful than you and at the same time is also just. The Glorious Qur’an says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;"><strong> Allah is never unjust in the least degree… </strong>(An-Nisaa’ 4:40)</p>
<p><b>3. Why does God not punish me?</b></p>
<p>The criminal, being a logical and scientific person, agrees that God exists, after being presented with scientific facts from the Qur’an. He may argue as to why God, if He is Powerful and Just, does not punish him.</p>
<p><b>4. The people who do injustice should be punished</b></p>
<p>Every person who has suffered injustice, irrespective of financial or social status, almost certainly wants the perpetrator of injustice to be punished. Every normal person would like the robber or the rapist to be taught a lesson. Though a large number of criminals are punished, many even go scot-free. They lead a pleasant, luxurious life, and even enjoy a peaceful existence.</p>
<p>If injustice is done to a powerful and influential person, by someone more powerful and more influential than he, even such a person would want that person, perpetrators of injustice, to be punished.</p>
<p><b>5. This life is a test for the hereafter</b></p>
<p>This life is a test for the hereafter. The Qur’an says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;"><strong> He Who created Death and life that He may try which of you is best in deed; and He is the Exalted in might, Oft-Forgiving. </strong>(Al-Mulk 67:2)</p>
<p><b>6. Final justice on Day of Judgment</b></p>
<p>The Glorious Qur’an says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;"><strong> Every soul shall have a taste of death. And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the garden will have attained the object (of life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception. </strong>(Aal`Imran 3:185)</p>
<p>Final justice will be meted out on the Day of Judgment. After a person dies, he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment along with the rest of mankind. It is possible that a person receives part of his punishment in this world. The final reward and punishment will only be in the hereafter. God Almighty may not punish a robber or a rapist in this world but he will surely be held accountable on the Day of Judgment and will be punished in the hereafter, i.e. life after death.</p>
<p><b>7. What punishment can the human law give Hitler?</b></p>
<p>Hitler incinerated six million Jews during his reign of terror. Even if the police had arrested him, what punishment can the human law give Hitler for justice to prevail? The most they can do is to send Hitler to the gas chamber. But that will only be punishment for the killing of one Jew. What about the remaining five million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine Jews?</p>
<p><b>8. Allah can burn Hitler more than six million times in hellfire</b></p>
<p>Allah say in the Qur’an:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;"><strong> Those who reject our signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire; as often as their skins are roasted through, we shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise. </strong>(An-Nisaa’ 4:56)</p>
<p>If Allah wishes he can incinerate Hitler six million times in the hereafter in the hellfire.</p>
<p><b>9. No concept of human values or good and bad without concept of hereafter</b></p>
<p>It is clear that without convincing a person about the hereafter, i.e. life after death, the concept of human values and the good or evil nature of acts is impossible to prove to any person who is doing injustice especially when he is influential and powerful.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let’s start with the uncomfortable truth about the way that we work.</p>
<p>As soon as more than one thing has our attention and we experience information overload, our instinctive reaction is that we want to feel busy to feel like we’re making progress. Because as a species we’re inherently lazy, we gravitate to the easiest way to achieve this illusion of progress.</p>
<p>We open our email inbox, check for what’s new, we scroll up and down, we check for what’s new, we scroll up and down, we fiddle around creating archive folders, we check for other new information (for example on our social media profiles or the news or our phone) and generally begin to develop an addiction to being connected. What we’re addicted to here is the illusion of productivity for a minimal payoff of thinking.</p>
<p>Getting your inbox to zero breaks out of this bad habit and forces Ninja-like decisiveness and discipline. This is needed for you to make the difficult decisions about emails as soon as you read them, reducing procrastination time, increasing clarity about your work and vastly reducing the stress that email overload causes.</p>
<p>Email changes from being a task that seems like an amorphous mass of work that will never be finished, into a quantifiable conveyor belt where every single email has a possible decision that can be made about it straight away. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>Well, the good news is that is really is, and these 3 mindset changes are a great starting point!</p>
<p><b>Your Inbox Is Just a Place Where Emails Land</b></p>
<p>Your inbox is not your to-do list. I cannot emphasize this enough. Your inbox is not your to-do list. It is nothing more than a holding pen for where new inputs land. We often try to keep emails in our inbox because we don’t want to lose them or we want to come back to them. But the really meaningful work goes on outside the email inbox and using it as your primary to-do list reminder will mean either that things from elsewhere are missed or you end up having to email yourself. A lot.</p>
<p>In addition, using your inbox as a to-do list mixes your to-do reminders with all the other noise that your inbox throws at you, so it can be difficult to know what’s ‘to do’ versus ‘what’s happening’ versus what can be ignored.</p>
<p>We need to create new holding pens (@action, @read, @waiting and a simple archive system) for these very differently categorized items otherwise we’ll keep having to make the decisions about what’s actionable and what’s not over and over again.</p>
<p><b>Don’t Let Your Inbox Nag You All Day</b></p>
<p>Your inbox is full of potentially exciting information to get distracted with and this information is piling up all the time! ‘What if there’s something vital in there? Better quickly go and see what it is!’ Checking too often can become a deadly disease. Turn off every sound and graphic. That way, you can revisit the inbox when you’re ready to, not when the inbox is nagging you to return.</p>
<p><b>Don’t Check Your Emails, ‘Process’ Your Emails</b></p>
<p>This might sound really simple, but it’s one of those subtle changes that’s actually profound. Every time you open your inbox, your mindset is not to check what’s new, but to make the decisions and create the momentum needed to move those emails to where they need to get to.</p>
<p>You can only get it out of your inbox if every option you need has an obvious next step; otherwise your mind will do what it probably does now and say: ‘Err, not sure where that goes. I’ll come back to that one later’.</p>
<p><b>Regular Review</b></p>
<p>Making time to follow up, double check, print, clean up and generally do some housekeeping on your email system provides a regular chance to do some routine maintenance and a little bit of strategic-level review. After all, it’s important that we measure the effectiveness of any system; one of the key problems with how most people use Outlook or Gmail is that they don’t feel there’s any way that they can gain control, so they don’t think there’s anything to measure.</p>
<p>The great thing about Inbox Zero is that, once you reach it, it’s pretty easy to stay there as there’s no mountain left to climb, just today’s molehill.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="author" href="http://www.dawahskills.com/author/sameh/">sameh</a></p><p>Want to protect your documents from being edited without permission?</p>
<p>Microsoft Word for windows is a comprehensive word processing program that allows one to edit text in a number of ways. It also ensures privacy and protection for information you don&#8217;t wish to share.</p>
<p>You can password protect word documents to save them from being edited or formatted and thus, this prevents loss or breach of data. It therefore secures documents by assigning a password to them.</p>
<p>Follow the steps here and learn how to password-protect your documents in Microsoft Word 2010&#8230;</p>
<p><b>Step 1: Using General Options</b></p>
<p>In Microsoft word for windows, go to the &#8220;File&#8221; tab and click on the &#8216;Save as&#8217; option to open the ‘Save as’ window. At the bottom of this window, you will see an option for &#8216;Tools&#8217;. Click on its drop down arrow and then select the option titled &#8216;General Options&#8217;. A dialogue box will now appear for the &#8216;General options&#8217; and there are two fields that can be used to assign a password to the document. One of them is for the Password to open the file and the other is for the Password to allow modifications to the file. Since we want to protect the document from undergoing any changes or modification, we entered a password in the &#8216;Password to modify&#8217; field. Now press the &#8216;Protect Document&#8217; button to proceed further.</p>
<p><b>Step 2: Restricting Formatting and Editing</b></p>
<p>After you have clicked on the &#8216;Protect Document&#8217; button, a &#8216;Restrict editing and formatting&#8217; pane will open on the right hand side of the window. This consists of three options regarding restrictions. Jump to the second option which is titled &#8216;Editing restrictions&#8217;. Since you are protecting the document against any kind of editing, you can choose what kind of editing is allowed in the document. Here, first you must put a check on the &#8216;Allow only this type of editing in the document&#8217; option and then choose an option from the drop down arrow. Let&#8217;s say you have selected the option titled &#8216;Track changes&#8217;. Now, whenever any changes will be made, they will be marked as tracked changes.</p>
<p><b>Step 3: Starting to Enforce Protection</b></p>
<p>Once you have made the changes to the Editing restriction settings, the next step is to apply the protection. Click on the button located at the bottom of the restriction pane titled &#8216;Yes, start enforcing Protection&#8217;. At this point, a small option box for the &#8216;Start enforcing Protection&#8217; appears where you have to insert the password again. Re-enter the new password and click on the ‘OK’ button to password protect word documents. Once you have done so, your document is completely protected. Anyone who wants to edit the document will be required to enter a password in order to do so.</p>
<p><b>Step 4: Stopping Protection</b></p>
<p>To stop the protection for a particular document, you must simply click on the &#8216;Stop Protection&#8217; button situated in the restriction panel at the extreme bottom. Click on this button and a small window will appear titled &#8216;Unprotect Document&#8217; where you will have to enter the password again. Now click on the ‘OK’ button and the document will be unprotected.</p>
<p>This step by step tutorial will show you  how to do that…</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="author" href="http://www.dawahskills.com/author/sameh/">sameh</a></p><p>There are various searching options available on websites you can use many developed tools and features to filter and sort, and customize search results.</p>
<p>Here we are going to show you how to search in YouTube using the various search options and tools that are available on the website.</p>
<p><b>Step 1: The Basic Search Function</b></p>
<p>Go to YouTube and make sure that you are logged into your account. You will see the search bar at the top of the page and the simplest type of search you can do is just typing a search term in here and pressing ‘Return’. YouTube will build a list of results from your search on the next page.</p>
<p><b>Step 2: Using a Search Filter</b></p>
<p>Below the search bar on this new page you will see a drop down option called ‘Filters’. Click on this and you will be presented with many different options for filtering the results. In this example we will limit our search to videos that have been uploaded in the last month by clicking on the ‘This Month’ option. The drop down option will close and the videos below will now only be those from the last month.</p>
<p><b>Step 3: Applying Additional Filters</b></p>
<p>It is possible to search by multiple filters at once. Click on the ‘Filters’ option again and choose something else from the options, here we are choosing to also search only for videos that are less than 4 minutes in length.</p>
<p><b>Step 4: Searching Within a Channel</b></p>
<p>It is also possible to limit your search to just within a channel. Here we will navigate to a channel and when the page for that channel has loaded you will notice a ‘Search Channel’ option to the top right of the screen, enter your search term here and press ‘Return’. Results from just this channel relating to that search term will then appear below and that is how to search in YouTube.</p>
<p>This tutorial will take you through these steps…<br />

<p>What was the age of Umm Al-Mo’mineen (the Mother of the Believers) `A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) when she married to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)?</p>
<p>Some people believe that `A’ishah was nine years old at the time of her marriage with Prophet Muhammad was consummated.</p>
<p>The age of `A’ishah has been grossly misreported in the hadiths. Not only that, I think that the narratives reporting this event are not only highly unreliable but also that on the basis of other historical data, the event reported, is quite an unlikely happening.</p>
<p>Let us look at the issue from an objective standpoint. My reservations in accepting the narratives, on the basis of which, `A’ishah’s age at the time of her marriage with the Prophet is held to be nine years are:</p>
<p><b>1-</b> Most of these narratives are reported only by Hisham ibn `Urwah reporting on the authority of his father. An event as well known as the one being reported should logically have been reported by more people than just one, two or three.</p>
<p><b>2-</b> It is quite strange that no one from Madinah, where Hisham ibn `Urwah lived the first seventy one years of his life has narrated the event, even though in Madinah his pupils included people as well known as Malik ibn Anas. All the narratives of this event have been reported by narrators from Iraq, where Hisham is reported to have had shifted after living in Madinah for seventy one years.</p>
<p><b>3-</b> <i>Tahzib At-Tahzib</i>, one of the most well known books on the life and reliability of the narrators of the traditions of the Prophet reports that according to Ya`qub ibn Shaibah: ‘Narratives reported by Hisham are reliable except those that are reported through the people of Iraq’. It further states that Malik ibn Anas objected on those narratives of Hisham which were reported through people of Iraq.</p>
<p><b>4-</b> Mizan Al-I`tidal, another book on the narrators of the traditions of the Prophet reports that when he was old, Hisham&#8217;s memory suffered quite badly.</p>
<p><b>5-</b> According to the generally accepted tradition, `A’ishah was born about eight years before Hijrah. But according to another narrative in Bukhari <i>kitab At-Tafseer</i> `A’ishah is reported to have said that at the time Surat Al-Qamar  (the 54<sup>th</sup> chapter of the Qur’an) was revealed, ’I was a young girl’.</p>
<p>The 54<sup>th</sup> <i>surah</i> of the Qur’an was revealed nine years before Hijrah. According to this tradition, `A’ishah had not only been born before the revelation of the referred surah, but was actually a young girl (<i>jariyah</i>), not an infant (<i>sabiyah</i>) at that time.</p>
<p>Obviously, if this narrative is held to be true, it is in clear contradiction with the narratives reported by Hisham ibn `Urwah. I see absolutely no reason that after the comments of the experts on the narratives of Hisham ibn `Urwah, why we should not accept this narrative to be more accurate.</p>
<p><b>6-</b> According to a number of narratives, `A’ishah accompanied the Muslims in the battle of Badr and Uhud. Furthermore, it is also reported in books of Hadith and history that no one under the age of 15 years was allowed to take part in the battle of Uhud. All the boys below 15 years of age were sent back. `A’ishah’s participation in the battle of Badr and Uhud clearly indicate that she was not nine or ten years old at that time. After all, women used to accompany men to the battle fields to help them, not to be a burden on them.</p>
<p><b>7-</b> According to almost all the historians Asma’ (the elder sister of `A’ishah, may God be pleased with them) was ten years older than `A’ishah. It is reported in <i>Taqrib At-Tahzib</i> as well as <i>Al-Bidaya wa An-Nihaya</i> that Asma’ died in 73 <i>hijri </i>when she was 100 years old. Now, obviously if Asma’ was 100 years old in 73 <i>hijri</i> she should have been 27 or 28 years old at the time of Hijrah. If Asma’ was 27 or 28 years old at the time of Hijrah, `A’ishah should have been 17 or 18 years old at that time. Thus, `A’ishah, if she got married in 1 AH (after Hijrah), or 2 AH, was between 18 to 20 years old at the time of her marriage.</p>
<p><b>8-</b> Tabari in his treatise on Islamic history, while mentioning Abu Bakr (may God be pleased with him) reports that Abu Bakr had four children and all four were born during the Jahiliyyah (the pre Islamic period). Obviously, if `A’ishah was born in the period of Jahiliyyah, she could not have been less than 14 years in 1 AH; the time she most likely got married.</p>
<p><b>9-</b> According to Ibn Hisham, the historian, `A’ishah accepted Islam quite some time before `Umar ibn Al-Khattab. This shows that `A’ishah accepted Islam during the first year of Islam. While, if the narrative of `A’ishah marriage at seven years of age is held to be true, `A’ishah should not have been born during the first year of Islam.</p>
<p><b>10-</b> Tabari has also reported that at the time Abu Bakr planned on migrating to Habashah (8 years before Hijrah), he went to Mut`am- with whose son `A’ishah was engaged- and asked him to take `A’ishah in his house as his son&#8217;s wife. Mut`am refused, because Abu Bakr had embraced Islam, and subsequently his son divorced `A’ishah.</p>
<p>Now, if `A’ishah was only seven years old at the time of her marriage, she could not have been born at the time Abu Bakr decided on migrating to Habashah. On the basis of this report it seems only reasonable to assume that `A’ishah had not only been born 8 years before Hijrah, but was also a young lady, quite prepared for marriage.</p>
<p><b>11-</b> According to a narrative reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, after the death of Khadijah, when Khawlah came to the Prophet advising him to marry again, the Prophet asked her regarding the choices she had in her mind. Khawlah said: ‘You can marry <i>bikr</i> (a virgin) or<i> thayyib</i> (a woman who has already been married)’.</p>
<p>When the Prophet asked about who the virgin was, Khawlah proposed `A’ishah’s name. All those who know the Arabic language, are aware that the word <i>bikr</i> in the Arabic language is not used for an immature nine year old girl. The correct word for a young playful girl, as stated earlier is <i>Jariyah</i>. <i>Bikr</i> on the other hand, is used for an unmarried lady, and obviously a nine year old is not a ‘lady’.</p>
<p><b>12-</b> According to Ibn Hajar, Fatimah was five years older than `A’ishah. Fatimah is reported to have been born when the Prophet was 35 years old. Thus, even if this information is taken to be correct, `A’ishah could by no means be less than 14 years old at the time of Hijrah, and 15 or 16 years old at the time of her marriage.</p>
<p>These are some of the major points that go against accepting the commonly known narrative regarding `A’ishah age at the time of her marriage.</p>
<p>Neither was it an Arab tradition to give away girls in marriage at an age as young as nine or ten years, nor did the Prophet marry `A’ishah at such a young age.</p>
<p>The people of Arabia did not object to this marriage, because it never happened in the manner it has been narrated.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="author" href="http://www.dawahskills.com/author/sameh/">sameh</a></p><p>How can I use and create shortcut keys for Microsoft Word?</p>
<p>Here you are going to learn first how to use Microsoft Word shortcut keys and then how to create your own.</p>
<p><b>Step 1: Exploring Current Shortcuts</b></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s have a look at some of the most useful shortcuts. First, press ‘Control’ and ‘P’ on the keyboard and the ‘Print’ area will appear, you can use this to set your print settings and then print the document. To exit this window and return to the document you can use another shortcut key, ‘Escape’. Another popular shortcut is ‘Control’ and ‘A’ which will select everything in your document.</p>
<p><b>Step 2: Viewing All Current Shortcuts</b></p>
<p>Most of the most popular functions in Word already have shortcut keys associated with them. You can see these by clicking ‘File’ then ‘Options’. In the new window click ‘Customize Ribbon’ on the left and in the frame on the right click the ‘Customize’ button next to ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’. In the window you can see each shortcut by clicking on a category, then a command and below these windows details of the shortcut will appear in the ‘Current keys’ box.</p>
<p><b>Step 3: Adding a Shortcut</b></p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s have a go at creating our own shortcut. Select a category, and then a command that currently doesn&#8217;t have a shortcut- here we are creating one for adding a digital signature to a file. Click into the ‘Press new shortcut key’ box and enter the combination that you want to assign to this command. Click ‘Assign’, ‘Close’ then ‘OK’. Press the command you just assigned and the function will run &#8212; here Word starts to create a digital signature and that is how to use and create your own Microsoft Word shortcut keys.</p>
<p>Learn these steps practically here&#8230;</p>
