Who was Muhammad?

At the very beginning of the XNUMXth century, one young Arab youth felt like a deity, inspired to create a new religion and go preach it. This great man - his name was Mohammed - sowed the seeds of a faith that grew into one of the three most famous religions in the world. Muhammad called his religion "Islam", which means submission to God's will.

Today there are more than 550 followers of Islam in the world. They are called Muslims. In many ways, Islam is based on Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad proclaimed the one God of Jews and Christians to be the only true God. According to Muhammad, God reveals himself to man through his prophets, among whom is Muhammad. God gave the Law to Moses, the Gospel to Jesus, and the Quran to Muhammad. Muslims believe in the unity of God, unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing and eternal.

The creed of Islam: "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." Allah is the God of the Arabs. He is in the seventh heaven and sits on a throne, surrounded by pure and radiant angels. The belief that the soul continues to live after the death of a person is a fundamental part of Islam.

Muslims believe that on the Day of Judgment the souls of the resurrected dead, together with the souls of the living, will appear before God to answer for their deeds. Muslims also believe that the fate (kismet in Arabic) of each person is determined before birth and is recorded in the great Divine Book. During their lives, Muslims must perform 5 main holy duties, one of which is to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of Muhammad, the holy city of Muslims.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which room in the White House is named after two presidents at once?

One of the meeting rooms in the West Wing of the White House is called the Roosevelt Room. She was given this name in 1969 in honor of two former presidents at once: Theodore Roosevelt, under whom the west wing was originally built, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who expanded it. There are portraits of these presidents in the room, periodically changing places. When a Republican president is in power, Theodore's portrait hangs over the mantelpiece, and Franklin's on the south wall, and vice versa under a Democratic president. This tradition was broken only under Clinton, who decided to leave Theodore Roosevelt over the fireplace.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Blue LEDs are dangerous for insects 27.10.2014

Scientists from New Zealand have found that the light of blue LEDs is detrimental to the ecosystem, because it attracts one and a half times more insects than the radiation of ordinary street lamps.

Recall: for the invention of blue LEDs in 2014, Japanese scientists received the Nobel Prize in Fiike.

Common street lighting systems in developed countries today tend to focus on sodium gas discharge lamps, which emit yellow light. At the same time, insects are more attracted to the blue light emitted by LEDs. Such light seems white to a person due to the phosphor layer, which "mixes" the whiteness to the blue LED radiation, but insects perceive the color of the lamp differently.

In order to most accurately compare the attractiveness of sodium lamps and LEDs to insects, Stephen Pawson (Stephen Pawson) and Martin Bader (Martin Bader) placed two different types of lights near large sheets of adhesive paper, leaving them at night in a field located in a rural area. In the morning, scientists found that LED lamps attracted 48% more flies, moths and other insects. Repeated experiments showed similar results. Regardless of the type of LED, the filters used and the manufacturer, all LED lamps attracted a lot of insects.

As a result, it was concluded that blue LEDs, for which the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2014 was awarded, upset the balance of the ecosystem and attract insects to cities from the countryside. Moreover, the use of LED lighting in seaports may lead to the expansion of invasive species (like the gypsy moth), scientists say.
