The Battle of Ainu Jalut.

In Islamic history the month of Ramadan has been noted for many important events including great battles that brought relief and victory to the Muslim Ummah.

These battles include the great battle of Badr, the conquest of Makkah, The battle of Hittin in Palestine, the battle of Zallaqah in Spain, and the battle of Ain Jalut also in Palestine.

In the early thirteenth century of the common era the Muslim world faced a serious threat in the form of the Mongol invasions.

At the beginning of that century, Genghis Khan had united the warring Mongol tribes and embarked on a series of conquests in China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Russia. He eventually came into contact with the Muslim Khwarizm empire in Persia and Central Asia which was eventually completely defeated and occupied. The Mongols, though skilled warriors, also developed a reputation for great brutality. In many instances they slaughtered enormous numbers of people in the cities that they conquered.

Generally the more fiercely a population resisted invasion, the more brutal the Mongol reprisal would be when they were conquered.

Genghis Khan died in 1227 CE (Common Era) and he was succeeded by his sons and grandsons who carried on his campaigns.

In Persia, his grandson Halaku Khan was made the Mongol leader and he invaded Iraq. In 1258 CE, Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate was attacked and sacked and the last Abbasid Caliph, Al Mutasim, was executed. The Mongols then went on the invade Syria and made it all the way to Palestine.

By the time the Mongol armies reached the Levant (Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine), their name elicited such fear that many people would surrender to them without a fight even knowing they would die in order to avoid being tormented with an even worse death.

The Mamluk Sultan of Egypt at that time, Saifuddin Qutuz, decided to face and fight the Mongols. He lead an army to Palestine with his military commander Baybars, to stop the invasion.

The Mamluks were a group of people of slave origin that formed the military elite of the Egyptian kingdom at that time. They came into prominence during the rulership of the descendants of the great Salahuddin Al Ayyubi, and eventually took over the kingship themselves. They were trained from a young age as warriors and were very capable in battle.

The Mongol army included the Mongols themselves as well as the army of the Kingdom of Armenia and the Christian Kingdom of Georgia.

The two forces met each other at a location in Palestine known at that time as Ain Jalut, which literally means “Spring of Goliath” on the 25 th of Ramadan in 558 Hijri (1260 CE). Both armies were of comparable strength at about twenty thousand soldiers each.

The commander of the Mamluk army , Baybars was familiar with the local terrain and took advantage of this knowledge. He hid most of his army among some trees and went out with a smaller force. He engaged the Mongols in some back and forth fighting and eventually pretended to retreat, luring the Mongols into an ambush. At the right moment the bulk of the Mamluk army attacked with their cavalry and volleys of arrows and took the Mongols by surprise. However, the Mongols rallied and fought back fiercely. It is related that in the midst of battle Sultan Qutuz threw down his helmet and urged his soldiers on in the name of Islam. This inspired his troops and they eventually gained the upper hand.

Victory was sealed when the the leader of the Mongol army—general Ketbugha– was captured and executed by the Mamluks. This caused the remaining Mongols to retreat. They did stop and attempt to fight again at Beisan but were again defeated.

At the end of the battle most of the Mongol army was destroyed and the Mamluks achieved a decisive victory. The Mamluk losses were significant as well. As a result of this battle the Mongol advance was halted and the Muslim world was saved from perhaps total occupation by the Mongols. Indeed it ranks as one of the most decisive battles Muslims fought since the battle of Badr because a loss at Ain Jalut would have meant the loss of Egypt and the Hijaz, including Makkah and Madinah.

After this victory, the fortunes of the Muslims improved and Mongols became weaker. Also by the Mercy of Allah, many of the Mongols, including their leaders in the Muslim portion of their empire (Iran and Central Asia) accepted Islam and all of the territories they had conquered from the Muslims were restored under Muslim rule.

On the way back to Cairo, Sultan Qutuz was assassinated, and Baybars became the new sultan. It is reported that Baybars may have been behind the conspiracy to kill Qutuz in an unfortunate twist in the aftermath of the battle. Nevertheless Baybars did go on to rule for a number of years and strengthen the Mamluks. He went on to recapture further territory from the Crusaders and the Mongols during his reign.

It is worth remembering that this famous battle took place in the sacred month of Ramadan which is a reminder of the great blessings this month brings.

A Glass of Milk, Paid in Full.

---

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.

He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”

He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.”

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year’s later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.

She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words:

“Paid in full with one glass of milk.

Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.”

Why Most Small Businesses Fail The First Five Years?

Introduction.

It takes a great deal of hard work to set up and run a successful small business. You will not only need to sell your product or service, but also manage the administrative aspects of the business

This factsheet looks at some of the common factors that could cause your business to fail and provides some suggestions on how these factors could be addressed.

Lack of skills and qualifications

Anyone planning to start a new business will benefit from training in general business and enterprise skills, but many business owners ignore training because they cannot spare the time or the money.  In some sectors or professions, you must have formal qualifications or certification in order to operate, but often the business owner and staff are not required to undergo any specific training or have any qualifications.

This does not mean that training should be overlooked. Factors that can cause your business to fail include:

• Not having the right skills, qualifications or experience to run a business.

• Not going on any training courses to help you understand marketing, finance, recruitment, etc.

• Getting out of your depth and not learning any new business skills.

Little or no market research

Many business owners make the mistake of making or selling a product or service for which there is little or no demand. You will not have all the information you need about potential demand for your product or service if you don't do sufficient market research before you start your business. Failure to undertake sufficient, detailed market research can result in poor sales and can cause your business to fail.

No clear marketing plan or strategy

New businesses frequently fail due to the lack of a clear marketing plan or strategy, especially if insufficient customers are aware of, or prepared to buy, the product or service on offer.               

  All businesses need sufficient customers and sales to enable them to cover their costs and make a profit, but customers won't come to you unless they know about you, your product or service and what benefits it will give them.

Insufficient finance and cash flow

Too many businesses fail due to lack of start up and working capital, or because of cash flow problems that emerge a few months into trading.

Your business will fail if:

• You don't have enough cash or other working capital at the start up phase.

• You don't understand basic finance principles such as breakeven, profit and loss, and cash flow.

• You keep losing invoices, sales receipts, purchase orders, etc.

• You don't chase late-paying customers fast enough.

Poor planning

Whether you are a new or established business, you should have a constantly evolving business plan to help you define your current objectives and your strategies for achieving them.                                   If you do not stay focused on the objectives in your plan, you will quickly find that you are starting to lose control of your business.

Common mistakes include:

• Not preparing a business plan.

• Spending too long preparing your business plan.

That`s Some of Important aspects That Can Cause Business Failure.
There Also Many Other Reasons But Those Are The Most Important Ones.

Was Gaddffi Dictator Or Great Leader?

It’s exactly 6Yrs since Muammar Gadaffi was Killed by Stupid Americans!

Muamar Gaddafi's Prophecies:

"I will not go into exile to any foreign country. I was born here in Libya, and I will die here. This country was a dessert, and I turned it into a forest, where everything can grow.
No one Love this land more more than its citizens. If Europe and America tells you that they love you, be careful. They love the wealth of your land. The oil and not the people. They are helping you to fight against me but, it will be more wise for you to fight against them because they are fighting against your future and progress.

My message to you the people of Libya is, they are helping you to kill me but you will pay the price because you will suffer. And my message to you America and Europe is, you will kill me, but be ready to fight a never ending TERRORISM.
Before you realise your ignorance, terrorists will be hitting you at your doorstep."

GADDAFI once told the Nigerian and British governments to divide Nigeria into two, so that the Hausa/Fulani (Moslems), Yoruba (Christians) and Biafrans/Igbo, can live as neighbouring countries.

It's good we look at these 16 REAL REASONS WHY COL. GADDAFI WAS KILLED:
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya, electricity is free for all its citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens are at a 0% interest by law.
3. Home is considered a human right in Libya. Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a
home.
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinars (US$50,000) from the government to buy their first apartment.
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi, only 25% of Libyans were literates. Today, the figure stands at 83%.
6. Libyans taking up farming as a career, they received farm land, a farming house, equipment, seeds and livestock to kick- start their farms – all for free.
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they needed in Libya, the government funded them to go abroad for it.
8. In Gaddafi's Libya, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price.
9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0. 14 per liter.
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation, the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
13. A mother who gave birth to a child under Gaddafi, received US $5,000 as child benefit upfront.
14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15
15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree
16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man- Made River Project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.
If this is called "Dictatorship", I wonder what type of Leadership Democrats have!!
Share this to remember Gaddafi — with Peter Kinga and 14 others.
