Honorable principal guest teachers and
Honorable principal guest teachers and my dear fellow good morning and aok.
Today is a day which holds special position in our life as today settians are paying their tribute to the voice which is still resounding in our minds and that is surely the voice of karbala.
The events of Karbala reflect the collision of the good the evil, the virtuous versus the wicked, and the collision of Imam Hussain (the head of virtue) versus Yazid (the head of impiety). Imam Hussain (pbuh) was a revolutionary person, a righteous man, the religious authority, the Imam of Muslim Ummah (nation). As the representative of his grandfather Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Imam Hussain's main concern was to safeguard and protect Islam and guide fellow Muslims. On the other hand, the staying power of the rulers (Muawiya and his son Yazid) depended solely on the might of the sword. They used brute force to rule over the Muslim empire even by all possible illicit means.
Hussain is a candle of light who glows in day and night
Oh hussain you have brought light in dark lifes
The mission of Imam Hussain (pbuh) is distinctly unique, political and religious revolutionary movement in the history of World. His was a tremendous undertaking which still reverberates throughout the Muslim nation. He has been a propelling force and a seminal element in events throughout Islamic history). Imam Hussain's example has remained vividly alive for generations and centuries. His uprising, movement and ideals still have a deep impact on the conscience and awareness of the Muslim empire.
Karbala proved to be a clash involving Islamic truths versus falsehood, belief versus disbelief, and the oppressed versus the oppressor, faith against brute force.., Eventually hussain was martyred along with his sons, most of his household and all of his companions. The bodies were mutilated and their heads were carried from Karbala, to Kufa and finally Damascus. His womenfolk were taken prisoners and marched across the desert.

    Muhammad (pbuh) is extremely important to Muslims all around the world, and a sacred symbol for the Islamic religion. Pbuh stands for ‘peace be upon him’. This abbreviation is added along with his name all around the world as a sign of respect for him. Not only that, but Muslims do this to give peace upon him. Muhammad was not able to read or write so his was known as an ‘illiterate’ when he was born, and until he died. Because of this, when ‘Allah’ talked to him, he had to preach to other people and then they had to write them down. All of these saying were kept and treasured and then were finally added into books like the Qur’an and the Hadith. This essay will cover just exactly why Muhammad is so important to Muslims today.…

    The first century from the inception of Islam, 622 CE – 719 CE, was marked by little political discord and social division as the community of believers constituted a non-Muslim group which drew on theists of various faiths and denominations beforehand. At the end of that century, the Islamic faith began to take on the form of its own distinct group. The period prior to the reign of Abd al-Malik, 685 CE -705 CE, was a tolerant and accepting model of the Islamic faith. Although, there is lack of historical evidence on the one hand and counter-arguments made in favor of a divisive and aggressive model of political discord and social division from the very inception of the Islamic religion. Evidence presented for the former view relies on the mention in the Quran, suggesting a diverse community in which Jews and Christians lived alongside Muslims.…

    The Schoolteacher's Guest tells the story of Ines, a retired schoolteacher who runs the first hotel in the town, Agua Santa. Her son had previously been killed and his murderer had fled. Years later the murderer returns. Ines kills him and confesses to her best friend Riad Halabi. They bury the body and the whole community help to keep it a secret. It is set in Latin America. The town is described as being quiet, uneventful and cut off from the mainstream of activity; an 'insignificant backwater'. The community is depicted as being friendly, characters 'waving, as usual.' The climate is hot as 'the hour of the mosquitoes' is mentioned in the story and mosquitoes are limited to warm climates. We also are told it is 'on the edge of the jungle.' The community in this story is very close and they look out for each other. People respect each other and 'secrets are kept by good neighbors.' How much respect you have in the community is not defined by how much money you have or how important your job is.

    Student learning and ways to involve them and their parents more in their learning has remained a challenge for educators. An exploration for increasing student learning and accountability has led educators to include students in the conference process. A way of including students in their academic performance and allowing them an opportunity to directly assess their classroom work has brought about a change from traditional parent-teacher conferences to student-led conferences (Borba and Olvera, 2001). As Borba and Olvera (2001) stated, “student-led conferences motivate students to think about and act on personal initiatives to improve learning” (p. 333).…

    The Abbasid Dynasty, known to its supporters as the ‘blessed dynasty’, which imposed its authority on the Islamic empire in 132/750, claimed to inaugurate a new era of justice, piety and happiness.
