Before Islam, women had no identity and no individuality among the people. She was believed like something to be used and trashed afterward. Children or even slaves had better position than women. She did not have any human rights at all. Various cultures still consider a woman as a less than ordinary person and do not give her diverse essential rights what men own. In many parts, women extremely dislike this discrimination. They have decided to struggle for getting equality for themselves which regrettably yet get them away from their basic rights. Islam is the first religion who greatly respects women and acknowledges their equality with men in several aspects. With Islam, women have a position never acknowledged before. The Holy Quran has many teachings for men and women in a similar way. Islam indisputably propagates the ethical, religious and financial equality of men and women. When it comes to the divine rule of the relationship between a man and woman, Islam has given a place of dignity and respect to woman. The rules are vital for harmony, soothe, pleasure, persistence of the varieties and development. The Holy Quran highlights that ALLAH has made all creatures in couples, and so men and women have been made of the identical creatures. As it is mentioned in the Holy Quran: "He made you from an only being; then of the similar kind made its companion." (39:7) "He has made for you companions of your same kind." (42:12) Women have equal rights and responsibilities in regard of education as Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: "It is mandatory all Muslims to seek knowledge."

Death is the ultimate truth in life. It is a dead-sure fact that all human beings have to face one day whether they accept it or not.

By bearing in mind that one will definitely pass away, we will be at rest because no matter what we do to avoid it, it is inevitable. Accepting this fact will make us nearer to God, because it implies our acceptance and satisfaction of whatever God decrees for us, be it a sad thing or a happy thing. But just as we celebrate the birth of a new baby coming into the world, we grieve over the death of somebody leaving this world. It is the sense of bereavement that brings about sorrow and sadness and…funerals. There is even etiquette for funeral in Islam that includes some manners and principles that we have to pay attention to that help alleviate grieving and let the go peacefully. Funeral etiquette starts from the minute the person is dying. It is very encouraged in Islam to help the dying say the shahada: (there is no god worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the messenger of God). Saying the shahada before dying will make the deceased enter paradise as said by the Prophet (PBUH). Also, out of respect, we should close the deceased person's eyes and cover him because he has no more control over his body.

The History of the West focuses in the western world when the British and the French took over the different countries and started colonizing them. This major factor led to the expansion of their kingdoms and controlled a heavy majority of the city. Their presence was felt over the countries and their rule continued for many years. There are many ways, that they use to rule and capture the different cities and one of them was through war. The French and British had some of the strongest armies and they used most of the resources to facilitate and fund the army. This was one of the major factors that led them to capture many countries, and mark their territory. The armies were very organized and they plotted to collaborate with the locals in return for gifts and high position when they took over. They also had spies who kept vigilance on the enemy and had a good reporting system. Based on the History of the West, education played a major role in capturing other cities and dominating the area. Spanish and French languages were dominant in the western world but the British rule abolished these languages and people were adhered to speaking English.

Unfortunately, you would not be able to deny that whenever a man is spotted with a long beard and a cap on his head the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that he is a "terrorist". Even more lamentable is that such thoughts are not only common amongst non-Muslims but Muslims as well. Even in Muslim countries if a man decides to keep a beard and wear a cap, his life will immediately be made hell by all of his peers. They would taunt him, jeer him, call him a terrorist, point him out in various gatherings as well as in photographs as a molvi, terrorist, and what not. None of those people would ever realize how much pain it inflicts on that person. As they say, any injury can be healed but not that is inflicted by the tongue. The Prophet Muhammad sallallaho alaihi WA aalihi WA sallam also said: " a Muslim is he from whose hands and tongue other Muslims are safe". So how can those so-called friends and peers of that person ever claim to be Muslims. Who said that only terrorists were brain washed. No! It is such people that brain wash that person. While applying for a job, his backward an 'uncool' looks would hinder his way no matter how competent he might be. Those with lesser talent but better looks will be preferred over him. Similarly, at the time of marriage, girls will look down upon him. He will be rejected as he has that ugly beard and he may belong to a terrorist group.
