Book Review : "The Koran" by John Medows Rodwell Sura III The Family of Imran

This is a commentary on "The Koran - by John Meadows Rodwell". - sura III The Family of Imran.
This chapter comes with some interesting imagery and pithy aphorisms.
1. I have surrendered myself to God, as have those who follow me.
2. O God, possessor of power, thou givest power to those whom thou wilt, and from whom thou wilt thou takest it away.
3. (Of Jesus). And he shall speak to men alike when in the cradle and when grown up, and he shall be one of the just.
4. Whatever is in the Heavens and whatever is on Earth is God's. And to God shall all things return.
5. Who give alms, alike in prosperity and in success, and who master their anger and forgive others....God loves the doers of good.
6. Taste ye the torment of the Burning.
7. Every soul shall taste of death.
8. God will not inflict a wrong upon his servants.
9. How many a prophet had combatted those who had with them many myriads.
10.Believe ye on your Lord.
Very rich ideation and visualization.....
Will revert on more chapters later............

Definitely PTE

#DefinitelyPTE A Man is like a tree.  Once a tree's roots bind to the soil, it develops an identity that is integrated with it's environment.  With a Man, the logic is similar. A Man is not just domiciled to his place of origin.... He is synonymous with it . The diet, language, climate, social laws and mores become an assimilated part of his identity. Let us look at these factors one by one - 1. Diet - This is a big problem when a person relocates. If he is a vegan or vegetarian , he may not find many options to tickle his palate. Also lack of additives like spices, may make his food look unappetizing. 2. Language - Relocating to China .... Need to know Mandarin ! In many countries people are not fluent in English, and this can make life very frustrating. 3. Climate - In Europe and North America (Canada and the Northern states of the US), the weather can be inclement. (Tornadoes, Twisters etc.), particularly the Mid-West of the US. You may find it to...

Chess blogging - Chessbase is back with a bang !

In view of my keen interest in UI for applications and websites, I feel it necessary to promote an investigation of the new play-chess interface on www.chessbase.com . * It is minimalistic * Allows you to play as Guest * Allows you to choose from different time-controls * Allows you to test your skills vis-a-vis opponents from across the globe Have a look at this interface, that is impressive from a UI developers point-of-view, and very conducive for a chess player to test his wits !  Whoa !  😇😇😇
