Ramazan Ayı ingilizce anlatım www.odevindiryap.com

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The first day of this month is said to be the time when the first verses of the Qur’an, the Islamic holy scripture, were revealed to the greatest prophet of the Islamic religion, Muhammad.

During the month of Ramadan, participating Muslims refrain from food, drinks and sexual activities between the sunrise and the sunset. Followers of Allah are learning during the fasting period about spirituality, humility and patience, while offering more prayers to their god than usual.

During Ramadan, all Muslims past the age of puberty are fasting.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims ask for forgiveness for their past sins, pray for Allah’s help to avoid evil influences and try to become better persons by means of good deeds and fasting. During this month, Muslims get up early – before dawn – and eat the Sahur (the meal before dawn) before the fajr prayer. They have to stop eating when the muezzin performs the adhan (the call for the prayer). During the day, Muslims do not eat or drink until the Maghrib (sunset) prayer. They are then allowed to eat and drink until dawn. This cycle goes on for the whole month of Ramadan.

Ramadan fasting lasts until the first day of the next month, Shawwal, on the 9th of September.

The common cold really does not have a remedy or a vaccine. There is, in fact, no cure for the common cold. There are, however, certain remedies which can cure the symptoms of the common cold.

Here are some common cold remedy measures which cure most of the symptoms of the common cold.

* Take Vitamin C regularly – This builds up the immune system and helps combat the cold and flu virus.
* Eat Yogurt Regularly – Studies have shown that people who eat at least a cup of yogurt every day tend to gain some amount of immunity to the common cold virus.
* Drink Ginger tea with lemon – This helps provide relief from nasal congestion and the vitamin C in the lemon helps boost the immune system.
* Take rest – This is one of the easiest methods of dealing with the common cold and its symptoms like headaches and fatigue.
* Blow Your Nose – Nasal congestion is difficult to deal with. The mucus that has collected in your nasal passage needs to get out of your body. Therefore it makes sense to blow your nose. Place your finger on one nostril and blow out of the other one. Do this process with both your nostrils. This helps avoid causing earaches due to excessive nose-blowing.
* Gargling With Warm Water and Salt – Mix a little salt in some warm water and gargle with it 4 times a day. this helps provide relief from sore throat symptoms.
* There are a variety of herbal remedies which one can try, such as Echinacea, goldenseal, Bee Balm, Elderberry Extract etc. One can surely try them out as they tend to reduce the symptoms or even the intensity of the cold.

And last but not the least, one should remember what they say about the effectiveness of any cold and flu remedy – ‘Do nothing and it (the common cold) will last for seven days, do something and it will go away in a week’!

Under normal circumstances, the common cold virus lasts for anywhere between 7 – 14 days. And since there is no cure or vaccine for this disease, the only relief available is for the symptoms of the disease.

Anyway, it’s dead and we’re gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family…” – Berke Breathed, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.” – Charles Dickens, Novelist

He should!” – Charles Dickens, in A Christmas Carol

“Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.” – Dave Barry, humor columnist

Buddhism is a religion close to my heart and one that never ceases to fascinate me. I first visited a Buddhist temple when we went to enroll my cousin into college (a long time ago!). I had never experienced so much peace as I did that day. As I climbed the meandering road that led to the temple I saw little shrines that had been constructed all along and people making offerings there. The colorful flags caught my attention as they were swaying in the breeze, as I climbed higher up the hill and was closer to my destination, I could hear the monks chanting, the sound grew louder with every step I took. I waited outside the temple with my head bowed in reverence and then I walked around the temple and the large area covering it, soaking up everything that I wanted to remember (that is almost everything).

The origin of Buddhism can be traced back to around 563 BCE. Buddhism is a religion that is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who was the son of a King. Siddhartha was in search of spiritual peace, it was on this search of his that he renounced his worldly advantages and became known as Buddha or The Enlightened One.

Buddha wanted to share his wisdom with all around him, to do that he traveled all over India and Nepal preaching and educating others about the middle path. Buddha further created a theology which he based on moderation and the necessity to separate the physical from the spiritual existence.

Buddhism is therefore a practice of finding peace with oneself, a religion formulated to win happiness during the present life as well as the next. Buddhists believe it is important to find the God within everything! Buddhist followers do not worship any God and follow the eightfold path in order to lead a meaningful life.

Buddhism is the fourth largest religion in the world today. Other facts about Buddhism are as follows:

* Buddhism means system taught by Buddha.
* Buddhism is further dived into the Mahayana, Theravada and Najrayana sects.
* The religious leaders of the Buddhists are called Monks.
* The Buddhists worship in a temple
* The three jewels or three refuges of Buddhism are – The Buddha, the Sangha or the monastic community and The Dharma or truth or teachings.
* The four noble truths of Buddhism are – Life is filled with suffering, this suffering is caused by human desires and attachments, suffering can be elimanated and this can be done by following the Eight-fold path.
* The four reminders of Buddhism are – Human life is precious, death is inevitable, the laws of karma cannot be avoided and suffering permeates all existence.
* The noble eightfold path is – Right beliefs, right aspirations, right speech, right livelihood, right conduct, right effort, right mindfulness, right meditional attainment.
* The four Bodhisattva vows are – I vow to rescue the boundless living beings from suffering, I vow to put an end to the infinite afflictions of living beings, I vow to learn the measureless Dharma-doors and I vow to realize the unsurpassed path of the Buddha.
* Buddhism is a religion which believes in Nirvana or rebirth, which is seen as a halt of suffering by some whereas others look upon it as a heavenly paradise.
* The sacred text of the Buddhists is known as Pali Canon or Tripitaka. There are also various Mahayana sutras.
* The eight auspicious Buddhist symbols are – The parasol (chattra), the golden fish (suvaranamatsya), the treasure vase (kalasha), the lotus (padma), the conch shell (sankha), the endless knot (shrivasta), the victory banner (dhvaja) and the wheel (dharmachakra).

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is regarded as the Father of Nuclear Physics, having been one of the main contributors of the modern ideas about physical reality. His Special Theory of Relativity and General Theory of Relativity continue to be considered the most adequate model that we have of the large-scale universe. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Apart from being a scientific genius, Albert Einstein also had a profound philosophical bent of mind. The Albert Einstein quotes given below are illustrative of his thoughts and ideas on a variety of subjects such as humanity, philosophy, morality, religion, science, mathematics, and so on.

“Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society, nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms. … The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty and Truth.”

“Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

“Time and again the passion for understanding has led to the illusion that man is able to comprehend the objective world rationally by pure thought without any empirical foundations—in short, by metaphysics.”

“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.”

“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

“According to general relativity, the concept of space detached from any physical content does not exist.”

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.”

“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”

“I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family. When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives. Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.”

“God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.”

“Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.”

“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”

“What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.”

“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

“The belief in an external world independent of the perceiving subject is the basis of all natural science. Since, however, sense perception only gives information of this external world or of “physical reality” indirectly, we can only grasp the latter by speculative means. It follows from this that our notions of physical reality can never be final. We must always be ready to change these notions—that is to say, the axiomatic basis of physics—in order to do justice to perceived facts in the most perfect way logically.”

“Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man’s discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world. We scientists recognize our inescapable responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope – we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.”

As it is quite apparent from these Albert Einstein quotes, he was a man of deep thinking and even spirituality.
