Many of us have heard this criticism from Christians, atheists, agnostics, etc. Personally, every time I read 4:34, I felt that something was wrong. How does God, the Most Wise order us to beat our women? What kind of solution is that? It is in contrast to the verses in which God describes marriage:<br /><br /><br />"Among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other. He places in your heart love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are signs for people who think." (30:21)<br /><br />Obviously, this mixed messages have bothered many contemporary translators of the Quran. To avoid the moral and intellectual problems, they tried to soften the word "beat" when they translate the verse 4:34. For instance, Yusuf Ali uses a merciful parentheses after "beat" to save women:<br /><br /><br />". . . As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly). . ." (4:34)<br /><br />Many tried to "beat" around the bush to "beat" the problem generated by the "beat" of 4:34.<br /><br />Almost all of the translations have mistranslated the four key words or terms of this particular verse. These are: "Qawwamune," "Faddallallahu ba'dahum ala ba'd," "Nushuzehunne," and "Fadribuhunne." In our late book, "Errors in Turkish Translations" (Istanbul, 1992) we have discussed the real meaning of these words and the motivation and reasons for mistranslating them. Here, we will focus on the last word, "Fadribuhunne."<br /><br /><strong>A Famous Multi-Meaning Word</strong><br /><br />The problem comes from the word "Idribuhunne" which we used to translate as "beat them". The root of this word is "DaRaBa". If you look at any Arabic dictionary you will find a long list of meanings ascribed to this word. That list is one of the longest list in whole Arabic dictionary. It can be said that "DaRaBa" is the number-one multi-meaning word in Arabic. It has so many different meanings, we can find numerous different meanings ascribed to it in the Quran.<br /><br /><br />To travel, to get out: 3:156; 4:101; 38:44; 73:20; 2:273<br /><br />To strike: 2:60,73; 7:160; 8:12; 20:77; 24:31; 26:63; 37:93; 47:4<br /><br />To beat: 8:50; 47:27<br /><br />To set up: 43:58; 57:13<br /><br />To give (examples): 14:24,45; 16:75,76,112; 18:32,45; 24:35; 30:28,58; 36:78; 39:27,29; 43:17; 59:21; 66:10,11<br /><br />To take away, to ignore: 43:5<br /><br />To condemn: 2:61<br /><br />To seal, to draw over: 18:11<br /><br />To cover: 24:31<br /><br />To explain: 13:17<br /><br />As you see, in Quran alone we can witness the verb "DaRaBa" having at least ten different meanings. "DaRaBa" has also other meanings which are not mentioned in the Quran. For example, in the Arabic language, you do not print money--you "DaRaBa" money, you do not multiply numbers--you "DaRaBa" numbers, you do not cease the work--you "DaRaBa" the work. In Turkish we have many verbs similar to DaRaBa, such as "tutmak", "calmak", "vurmak" etc. In English we have two verbs which are almost equivalent to "DaRaBa". These are "strike" and "beat".<br /><br /><br />Webster's Dictionary gives fourteen meanings to the verb "strike": hit (against); ignite; (of snake) bite; (of plants) (cause to) take root; attack; hook (fish); sound (time) as bell in clock etc.; affect; arrive at, come upon; enter mind of; discover (gold, oil etc.); dismantle, remove; make (coin); cease work as protest or to make demands. The same dictionary gives eight meanings to the verb "beat": strike repeatedly; overcome; surpass; stir vigorously with striking action; flap (wings); make, wear (path); throb; sail against wind.<br /><br />In the beginning of this article (underlined) I deliberately used "beat" in three different meanings in a single statement just to show the variety of meanings in a single word. In English, when we order someone to "beat it" we mean "get out". Similarly in Arabic, when we order someone with the commend form of "DaRaBa", that is "iDRiB", we mean "get out".<br /><br /><strong>How Can We Find The Appropriate Meaning<br /></strong><br />When we encounter a multi-meaning word, we select the proper meaning according to the context, forms, and common sense. For instance, if we had have translated "DaRaBa" in 13:17 as "beat" instead of "explain", the meaning would be ridiculous:<br />. . . God thus beats the truth and falsehood." (13:17)<br /><br />Another example of mistranslation of "DaRaBa" can be found in the translation of 38:44. All the translations (except Dr. Khalifa's translation) inject a male-made story to justify their silly translation. Here is how Yusuf Ali translates the verse about Job:<br /><br /><br />"And take in the hand a little grass, and strike therewith: and break not (the oath)."<br /><br />Yusuf Ali, in the footnote narrates the traditional story: "He (Job) must have said in his haste to the woman that he would beat her: he is asked now to correct her with only a wisp of grass, to show that he was gentle and humble as well as patient and constant."<br /><br />However, without injecting this story, we can translate it as the following:<br /><br /><br />"Now, you shall travel the land to fulfill your pledge (that is to deliver the message)." We found him steadfast. What a good servant! He was a submitter. (38:44)<br /><br />Let's turn back to 4:34<br /><br />Additionally, the word "Nushuz" which is generally translated as "opposition" has another meaning which can be translated as degrees of disloyalty ranging from flirtation to sexual liaison. If we study 4:34 carefully we will find a clue that leads us to translate that word as "flirting or cheating" or "extramarital affair" (Any word or words that reflect the range of disloyalty in marriage). The clue is the phrase before "Nushuz" as reads: ". . . and observe God's commandments, even when alone in their privacy." This phrase emphasizes the importance of loyalty in marriage life.<br /><br />Furthermore, the same word "Nushuz" is used in 4:128, but it is used to describe the misbehavior of husbands not wives as was in 4:34. So, the traditional translation of "Nushuz", that is, "opposition" will not fit here. In vertical relations, "opposition" cannot be a double-edged behavior. So, translators try to avoid this contradiction by ascribing just the opposite meaning of "opposition", i.e., "oppression" in verse 4:128. However, the meaning of "Nushuz" as "disloyalty" is appropriate for both cases described in 4:34 and 4:128.<br /><br /><strong>A Coherent Understanding</strong><br /><br />When we read 4:34 we should not understand "idribuhunne" as "beat those women". We must remember that this word has many meanings. God gives us three ways of dealing with extra-marital-affair. In the beginning stage of such misbehavior husband should start from giving advice. If it does not work and she goes further and commit a proven adultery, that time husband has the right to strike them out (4:34 & 65:1).<br /><br />Let's present our suggestion for the translation of verse 4:34<br /><br /><br />"Men traditionally take care of women, since God has endowed each of them with certain qualities and men spend from their financial resources. The righteous women are obedient (to God) and during the absence (of their husband) they honor them according to God's commandment. As for those women whom you are experiencing a fear of disloyalty from, you shall first advice them, then (if they continue) you may desert them in bed, then you may strike them out. If they obey you then don't transgress against them. God is Most High, Supreme." (4:34).<br /><br />Beating women who are cheating is not an ultimate solution; but "striking them out" from your house is the best solution. And it is fair too.<br /><br /><strong>But because he want to the others hate Islam and make business of it then he uses the meaning as he likes.</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>He wrote</strong></span>:<br />"Their punishment for disobeying their husbands does not end there, because after they die they will go to hell (66:10).

It follows that the rights owned to the wife are unnegotiable, whereas the husband has to give up certain rights. This is not a feminist reading but the actual explanation of Ibn `Abbas (companion of the prophet) according to al-Tabari in his Tafsir, and the latter preferred it over all other commentaries of that verse (Al-Tabari said the best explanation is that of Ibn `Abbas).<br /><br />Al-Tabari in his Tafsir narrated from Ibn `Abbas: "The daraja mentioned by Allah Most High here is the *forfeiting, on the man's part, of some his wife's obligations towards him* and his indulgence towards her, while he is *fully obligated to fulfill all his obligations towards her*, because the verse came right after { And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness} . Hence Ibn `Abbas said: 'I would not like to obtain all (astanzif) of my right from her because Allah Most High said { and men are a degree above them} .'"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.quransearch.com/karim/men_and_women_daraja.htm">(Source: fatwa by Sheikh G.F. Haddad at livingislam.com) </a><br /><br /><br />Further:<br /><br />Careful reading of the verse in Arabic, and in the context of other verses, does not imply inequality. Rather, {And they [the women] have [rights] like [the obligations] they are under with beneficence} , as well as other verses, emphasizes the equality of man and woman in rights and obligations, in nature and mental characteristics, in responsibility and accountability towards Allah ( but Allah swt gave the men a greater degree of responsibility over the women than that of women over men.)<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">He wrote:</span><br /></strong><br />"It not only denies women’s equal right to their inheritance (4:11-12), it also regards them as imbeciles and decrees that their testimony is not admissible in the court of law unless it is accompanied with the testimony of a man (2:282) "<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375175145148314194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4mi0_-JToLqg7SUtksBJ5kvKekj3LBMfyuvaMXVzXfpj5hAIwHL6GzIEvNI6iubwRIC0-Gb_QKCervK3RqV39omlMNtkIX9sBG1pSIt2O5NhDCN2nhyphenhyphenykUpmlQLNR50zF1mHSByTNO0/s400/4_11.gif" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" /><br /><strong>4:11</strong> Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half.

These books deal with all the different ways of dividing an inheritance, and the proper share of all relatives according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Prior to passing any judgment about "unfair treatment" of Islam to women in terms of inheritance' one must examine this subject closely.<br /><br />In contrast to all the other societies, Islamic Jurisprudence stipulates the rules and regulations about all the affairs of a man, from big to small, to bring harmony to their lives. Just like a person has specific instructions for how to live and use his money in his lifetime, his wealth after his death is dealt with the same way. Unlike other social systems, a person can generally do with his wealth in his life however he wants but his will has certain restrictions according to the Islamic Law. Through his will he can only give 1/3 of his wealth to whoever he wants, all the rest is distributed according to the law of inheritance derived from the Qur'an.<br /><br />An important point to note is that in many civilizations, man-made laws of inheritance are at the whim of a powerful individual; to give or deprive, as one will, however unjustly. Moreover, in these societies often there is no law that obligates a man with financial responsibilities and relieves the women from them. On the other hand, according to Islam, a male is required to take care of the entire financial needs of the female dependents of the family until they are married. From the time a female marries, her financial responsibilities are her husband's obligation. After the death of the husband, the son or other male relative is obliged to care for the widow.<br /><br />Therefore, demanding a "fair," "just" or "equal" share of inheritance for both male and female Muslims, who do not have equal financial obligations and responsibilities, is an unfair and unjust demand. It is only fair and just to give preference to a male heir, in light of his financial responsibilities, over the female heir from the inheritance of the father, mother or others. Considering all this, the fact that a female is still entitled by the Islamic law to a half share of the portion of inheritance received by the male, and sometimes an equal share, is indeed fair, just, and generous. </p><p><strong><a href="http://www.womeninislam.ws/en/misconceptions_testimony-of-women.aspx">Testimony of Women </a><br /></strong>Allah, the Exalted, stated in the Glorious Qur'an:<br /><br />(And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her.)<br /><br />[2:282]<br /><br />Allah clarifies to assure the rights of others that testimonies will not be valid unless two men, or one man and two women offer them.<br /><br />Divine wisdom has granted women, in general, very sensitive emotions, tender feelings, and a predisposition towards care and love of other members of the family. This makes a woman capable of her natural task of childbearing, nursing, taking care of all the needs of the young child, etc. Based on these emotional characteristics of the woman, she might very well follow her emotional inclinations and swerve from harsh realities due to an emotional involvement in a case. A woman's loving and kind feelings might overcome what she has witnessed, and thus she may distort the story of her witness and testimony. At the same time the biological changes that occur in her body due to menses, pregnancy, child-birth and post-natal conditions reduce the sharpness of her memory and may make her forget the details of the issue.<br /><br />Therefore, a divine precautionary measure was established to eliminate any shortcoming on a woman's part in any case of testimony. We would like to point out here one of the essential principles of the legal and judicial system in Islam, which states that the case is not valid for proceedings if a doubt arises in the case. Therefore, the strength of two female witnesses is intended to eliminate this doubt.<br /><br />Besides testimony that involves other people's rights, Islam has granted women full financial freedom in terms of independence and financial decision-making, and made her exactly equal to men in that regard. However, woman's natural role in life, in raising children and caring for the family requires her to stay in the home for longer and extended periods in comparison to men, thus limiting her knowledge and experience to the affairs she stays involved in most of her life.<br /><br />It is a false accusation to say that making the testimonies and witnesses of two women equal to one man in certain cases is an insult to the woman's intelligence and a dishonor to her integrity. If that were the case, a single woman's testimony would, likewise, not be acceptable in the other affairs of women. Islamic jurisprudence accepts a woman's testimony in all affairs that are private like in confirming the virginity of a woman, delivery of a child, clarification of female sexual defects, and other matters that mandate examination due to a dispute. At the same time, it must be remembered that Islamic law rejects a man's lone testimony in the least significant financial matters such as lending or borrowing funds and other transactions, since there must be two. The critically serious cases, wherein a woman's testimony must be doubled, is established in order to preserve and prove the rights of individuals in the society based on the reliability and irrefutability of that testimony. </p><br /><p><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>He wrote:</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p>"This means that a woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness.

This includes provision, clothing, housing and sharing his time, concerns and intimate relations. Allah, the Beneficent, says:<br /><br />(And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three or four, but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is better to prevent you from doing injustice.)<br /><br />[4:3]<br /><br />The Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon Him) said:<br /><br />"He who has two wives and leans to one as opposed to the other will come on the Day of Resurrection with one of his sides fallen."<br /><br />[Abu Dawood #2133 & Tirmidhi #1141, & others and verified]<br /><br />This indicates that the husband must demonstrate justice, fairness and equality amongst all his wives. He is warned of this dire punishment of paralysis and deformity in the hereafter, just as he paralyzed and deformed the rights of one of his wives in this world. It is unlawful for a man to mistreat his wife in any fashion with abuse, hardships, harassment, undue burdens, insults, beatings, abuse to her wealth and funds, forbidding her from lawful outings, etc in an attempt to force her to pay all that she possesses as ransom to her husband so that he may release her through divorce. Islamic laws do permit the husband to impose certain restrictions upon the wife that displays some immoral and shameful conduct, dishonorable to him and his family, and harmful to the entire society and social order. The purpose of these restrictions is to seek her to return to proper behavior. Those who continue to act indiscreetly, leading to suspicion of actual infidelity may be offered divorce, just as she may seek "Khul" wherein she asks for dissolving the marriage contract due to his misbehavior.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Polygyny in Islam</strong><br /><br />Polygyny in Islam<br />Marriage to more than one wife at the same time - Polygyny 3 - is a practice as old as the history of man, and is allowed in Islamic law. Among others, Polygyny was well known to the Ancient Hebrews, Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, Japanese, Hindus, Russians and Germanic peoples.<br /><br />All previous revealed religions practiced and condoned Polygyny. The Old and New Testaments are at the foremost in the list of the religious Books that legalized and practiced it. Many of the Prophets of Allah before Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) entered into plural marriages. Prophet Abraham had two wives; Prophet Jacob had four wives; and Prophet David had ninety-nine wives (may Allah exalt their mention). Prophet Solomon (may Allah exalt their mention) had seven hundred wives who were free noble women, and three hundred other wives who were slave women. Nowhere does the law of the Prophet Moses (may Allah exalt their mention) set or determine a specific number of wives to which a husband was entitled. The compilers of the Talmud, who lived around Jerusalem, decided upon a certain number of wives for a man, and some Jewish scholars only permitted a second wife or more if the first wife was permanently ill or barren. Still other Jewish scholars did not permit plural marriages at all.<br /><br />In the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus is commissioned to comply with and complete the Laws of Moses (may Allah exalt their mention) and we cannot find a single quote in the Bible that forbids plural marriage. The prohibition of plural marriages in Christianity came about only as a result of legislation set forth certain segments of the Christian church, and not by the original teachings of Christianity itself.<br /><br />For this reason we find many examples of Christians taking multiple wives. The Irish king, Ditharmet, for instance, had two wives. King Frederick the Second had two wives with the church's approval. Thus, it must be noticed that prohibition was in the hands of the priests of the church, and not in accordance with any universally recognized original law of Jesus Christ himself (may Allah exalt their mention). Martin Luther, the German priest who first established the Protestant sect, considered plural marriage acceptable and advocated it on many occasions.<br /><br />Polygyny was well known amongst pagan Arab tribes prior to the advent of Islam but there was no limitation for the number of wives, like in the cases of some of the Prophets mentioned above. With the advent of Islam, the Islamic law condoned Polygyny but a man was limited to only four wives, and specific rules regulated these marriages. There are numerous examples in the authentic traditions wherein the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) obligated those who had more than four wives, when they accepted Islam, to choose four and divorce the rest honorably. Allah, the Most Beneficent, said:<br /><br />(And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.)<br /><br />[4:3]<br /><br />Thus we see that strict justice and fairness in treatment, and avoiding any injustice and wrong practices against all wives, is stipulated and conditional for those who wish to take more than one wife. The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) warned against favoritism saying:<br /><br />"He who has two wives and is not just between them, he will come on the Day of Resurrection with one of his sides fallen."<br /><br />[Abu Dawood #2133 & Tirmidhi #1141 and verified]<br /><br />Justice and fairness, in this context, applies to material things such as expenditure, fair division of wealth, gifts, time, etc. As for emotional matters, such as love and inclination of the heart towards one wife over the other, it is recognized that man has no control over his innermost heart and emotions, as they are involuntary. Allah, the Most Beneficent, said:<br /><br />(You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire (i.e. emotions of the heart), so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allah by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful)<br /><br />[4:129]<br /><br />Aishah, the mother of the believers and the wife of the Prophet (Peace be upon Him), narrated:<br /><br />"The Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon Him) would distribute everything justly amongst his wives, then say:<br />O Allah! This is my division for what I possess, O Allah! Do not blame me for what You alone possess while I do not (i.e. emotions of the heart).<br /><br />[Abu Da`wood, Tirmidhi others, but with a weak chain]<br /><br />A man who is impotent should not seek any marriage since he is unable to fulfill its basic requirement. He who knows for sure that he is financially incapable of supporting another wife and household, is not allowed to seek another marriage, just as the bachelor who seeks to marry must strive to earn the wherewithal and must be able to sustain his wife and future children. As Allah says, and which can be taken as a general rule:<br /><br />(And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them with His Bounty.) more <a href="http://www.womeninislam.ws/en/misconceptions_polygyny-in-islam.aspx">here. </a></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><strong></strong></span></p></div></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></span>:</span><br /><br />This is just a fragment of what he wrote in his web page about Islam but I prove you how you can find the right information and right explanations, if you are good with your religion it's ok, Islam is all about respect: wife, husband, kids, parents, family, neighbors, etc. and of course other Religions, so why speak bad about one religion and change the things, and why the other people who read doesn't search a good source, I was catholic before and it doesn't allow me to speak bad about Catholics, part of my family are Christians, other Catholics, and I am the only Muslim, but we all respect the believes of the others and Islam is like that, all Respect.<br /><br />Muslims must to treat all with respect, spatially women, and kids, must to not kill any one because god say "[17:33] You shall not kill any person - for GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice.

Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder; he will be helped."<br /><br />and there is more about Islam but if you just try to read about it you will see the difference...

Such a rise could see Dubai becoming waterless and virtually uninhabitable. </div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJIzOqBlDi4I3ZKI4KtP93QWL_gcgDXj0Spb59QWkfS3fKIV3pWV7Jyq-nFAYnL8yULS8xuWhKz-vwJhrflYe95TU-v4wdBhSg4FsAMudgXtJqMW9hkPk-qU0t9QMVWkdGn-H6aT5qSU/s1600-h/dubai+1991.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374037755355501890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJIzOqBlDi4I3ZKI4KtP93QWL_gcgDXj0Spb59QWkfS3fKIV3pWV7Jyq-nFAYnL8yULS8xuWhKz-vwJhrflYe95TU-v4wdBhSg4FsAMudgXtJqMW9hkPk-qU0t9QMVWkdGn-H6aT5qSU/s320/dubai+1991.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 214px;" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>This is a country that has staked its future on conspicuous consumption, with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, its ruler, announcing plans to turn it into a “world capital for the 21st century”. </div><br /><div>What Sheikh Mohammed is depending on to maintain all this is energy from fossil fuels – lots of it, at very low prices – plus cheap air travel and nobody to count the carbon emissions.

At the other end of the scale, AC Towers, five 100-floor supertowers (three in Dubai) will be clad almost entirely in solar panels. In theory, they should be able to generate more power than they consume – aided by a radical form of natural ventilation, using the sun’s energy to pull cool air down through the towers to reduce the need for air conditioning. Since air conditioning accounts for about 60% of Dubai’s energy use, this could mark a huge saving. It shows how serious is Dubai about this green agenda? Perhaps part of the answer lies in the deserts on which Dubai is built, whose sands are derived largely from seashells, coral and sediments. Dubai was once covered by sea.<br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMyi-8pgCEd7ocwAxTl9GB-puq7Ywmqnxknn8bg4RQeW9VvaqhN4h8KNzkfLWinrtY15uwgD1WPsgfu_2CbwxUF5ONmci6xqd5ua1HzbkEH4vnMm2o1K30t-EmbRoP-QWnYjYkh2Vduo/s1600-h/dredger-on-the-world-islands-development-dubai.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374055990180613698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMyi-8pgCEd7ocwAxTl9GB-puq7Ywmqnxknn8bg4RQeW9VvaqhN4h8KNzkfLWinrtY15uwgD1WPsgfu_2CbwxUF5ONmci6xqd5ua1HzbkEH4vnMm2o1K30t-EmbRoP-QWnYjYkh2Vduo/s400/dredger-on-the-world-islands-development-dubai.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" /></a><br />Dubai’s average elevation is just 52ft above sea level, and much of the land is substantially lower. That’s a rather uncomfortable fact when scientists are predicting a rise in sea levels that could reach several feet over the next century. </div><br /><br /><div>Energy is another emerging problem. Dubai began exploiting its then-plentiful reserves in the 1960s and built its economy and lifestyle on the back of those revenues.Now the wells are running dry and oil and natural gas account for less than 6% of the emirate’s revenue. </div><br /><br /><div>The Emirates Environmental Group was set up in 1991 to improve the environment through education and community involvement, and initially faced great resistance and scepticism. It has recently experienced a surge in membership and now has 2,500 individual and corporate members, including government agencies and educational institutions.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYyzyA4OA34q_1u4TAnAjeanxOvdaQzZiPQjcm6ai-24kA46J19MPV80agX3In6I_REgtSff_A1HF9R8RvyQikJ_itohxaDoNKkd_TCBYNXJRddRQ8uW660pZu5Wugn3fQ7zRn_3lYAQI/s1600-h/mohammed_bin_rashid_garden_07.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374053596778989682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYyzyA4OA34q_1u4TAnAjeanxOvdaQzZiPQjcm6ai-24kA46J19MPV80agX3In6I_REgtSff_A1HF9R8RvyQikJ_itohxaDoNKkd_TCBYNXJRddRQ8uW660pZu5Wugn3fQ7zRn_3lYAQI/s400/mohammed_bin_rashid_garden_07.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" /></a><br /><br /><br />Such enthusiasm shows just how seriously green branding is being taken. announced the emirate’s biggest ecological project yet, the £37 billion Mohammed bin Rashid Gardens.<br /><br />Stuart Bond, head of research at the UK branch of the conservation charity WWF, welcomes the fact that Dubai is talking about environmental issues but worries that most of its efforts so far may be little more than a branding exercise. “They’ve made some moves towards green building design, but the benefits are going to be outweighed by the extra energy use and air travel involved. The whole conspicuous consumption lifestyle that is encouraged in Dubai can never be considered green. They’ve moved forwards – it’s good for Dubai – but there’s a long way to go.”<br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nieCE9gzmZkEMzCdFRevCFcVuiWzP-jz-VeBnGDPtlq9CpP5OhNmXCKiUZ519iiXlVRJ7znYWkjUehSjPdMGX1MRoHKEQMfOt46jpg1Y7-45iBrX0pRQnMTZczz6gGC8ubKWxSHhITg/s1600-h/burj-al-arab-dubai-hotel-sail-arab-emirates-tiger-woods-playing-golf-01.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374052230525491506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nieCE9gzmZkEMzCdFRevCFcVuiWzP-jz-VeBnGDPtlq9CpP5OhNmXCKiUZ519iiXlVRJ7znYWkjUehSjPdMGX1MRoHKEQMfOt46jpg1Y7-45iBrX0pRQnMTZczz6gGC8ubKWxSHhITg/s400/burj-al-arab-dubai-hotel-sail-arab-emirates-tiger-woods-playing-golf-01.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" /></a><br /><div></div><div></div>Dubai’s burgeoning golf industry perhaps epitomises this view, with the emirate announcing plans to establish itself as one of the world’s leading golfing destinations. Each, however, will require nearly 90m gallons of water per acre each year, mostly extracted from the sea via desalination plants, one of the most carbon-intensive industries on the planet.<br /><br /><div>There are some countermeasures. The 18-hole championship course at the Four Seasons Golf Club in Dubai Festival City is one of several that make use of the salt-tolerant <em>Paspalum</em> grass, which enables partially desalinated water to be used for fairway maintenance.<br />Dubai’s Emirates airline also sees no contradiction between its plans to expand and the environmental consequences. Such views – suggesting it is possible to reconcile surging economic growth with a green agenda – are going to be an increasing source of tension for countries like Dubai. If the world ever agrees on a global regime for cutting carbon emissions, how will Dubai respond? Will it risk becoming a pariah by defiantly churning out CO2 by the millions of tonnes?

Why wear hijab?

4 years have passed since the first time I wore hijab , was the first day of Ramadan 2005, before I embrace islam but still not ready to leave the "ego", do you see all the stuff in the malls for hair, all that hair paint that I had bought to be Fashion trought all those years and don't speak about the treatments, highlights, accesories, etc,etc, and all that to chance my look every day, how??, it was really imposible for me to wear that thing in my head and cover part of my atractive look, remember that tips in the magasines that advice wamen to do their heir with different look to catch the men atention and look more atractive?, but the true was very very different, the first ramadan for me, I had to go outside to my husban's shop so it was like"I'm muslim now, then why I don't follow the orders?", so I took a Hijab that my sister in low (baby G, coz she is the little one) had give me as a present for my embracement of Islam, then there I was, I didn't know really how to wraped, but I did as I could and when my husband sow me, he was glad and surpriced at the same time, that I had wore it alone, after all It wasn't dificul and I like it since then.<br />My mom every time she sees me wearing hijab she keep telling me to take it, because she doesn't like how I look, my sisters tell me that I look as a nun!, and my friends tell me I had changed, and don't espeak about the rest of the family who guess some one have brainwashed me (let's say my husband) and now I am a full coz I'am with the "arabs" and they are this, and this, and this.....all that for they nule information about Islam, but now after this years is kind of "normal" for them hahahaha.<br /><br />the hijab has a meaning in islam:<br /><br /><ul><br /><br /><li>Modesty</li><br /><br /><br /><li>privacy</li><br /><br /><br /><li>Morality<br /><br />Morality<br />woman should cover her body, and walk and dress in a way which does not draw sexual attention to her<br />The Qur'an instructs Muslims to dress in a modest way. The following verses are generally interpreted as applying to all Muslim men and women. </li></ul><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwUy_UFAL8PJwqv_Rw1z6h1SRzGS5K2zAlD9a_QXo_BV-2kfpLlMAJWhtfr1GvxXG9o2k6HKwYl3_BG-q5V9S6UV0xm-62l5l3quMsXbbV19QbEScOwV6e9XwDhg5qqR4TewIixiCVrw4/s1600-h/sura+24+31.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372934044170682098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwUy_UFAL8PJwqv_Rw1z6h1SRzGS5K2zAlD9a_QXo_BV-2kfpLlMAJWhtfr1GvxXG9o2k6HKwYl3_BG-q5V9S6UV0xm-62l5l3quMsXbbV19QbEScOwV6e9XwDhg5qqR4TewIixiCVrw4/s320/sura+24+31.bmp" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />[24:31] And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to GOD, O you believers, that you may succeed. </p><p><br />So what we have is that all of the body except the face and hands is commanded to be covered around non-mahram men (by the clause "not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it"), and the covering of the hair, ears, neck, and upper chest is specifically to be accomplished by the khimar (headscarf).<br /><br />more information here<a href="http://www.blogger.com/">:"Why Should I Wear Hijab?"</a></p>

Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing and fighting various diseases.<br /><br />Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market.<br /><br />To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful: </p><p><br />•cancer<br />•rheumatoid arthritis<br />•high cholesterol levels<br />•cariovascular disease<br />•infection<br />•impaired immune function<br /><br />To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee. </p><p></p>
