Thread: A motivation towards excellence

I begin with the Name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

A Muslim is programmed to always feel the need to improve himself no matter how much good he does.
The Prophet ﷺ who is an epitome of spirituality and great virtue is the role model of Muslims. The Sahabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) have set the standard for true religiosity and virtue that no Muslim on earth today can surpass them.
Understanding the above statement means, the Muslim will never feel that he has done enough, each step he takes towards righteousness, he sees the footprint of the Sahabah way ahead, thus he is motivated to strive for excellence.
In essence, we should never allow complacency to creep in, lest we become so confident of our efforts towards the deen thus loosing out completely in attaining excellence. Our best is not good enough to make us not to want to strive more.
"And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death)." Qur'an 15:99

To imitate is to suspend the use of the intellect, whereas the intellect was created for thinking and reasoning.

"Ibn Mas‘ood RA said: Fear of Allaah is sufficient indication of knowledge. Lack of fear of Allaah is due to a person’s lack of knowledge of Him. The most knowledgeable of people are those who fear Allaah the most..." Tareeq al-Hijratayn
"If a person knows Allaah, he will feel more shy before Him, will fear Him more and love Him more. The more his knowledge increases, the more his shyness, fear and love of Him increase." Ibn Mas'ud RA
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “There are seven whom Allaah will shade with His shade on the Day when there will be no shade but His… and a man who remembers Allaah when he is alone and his eyes fill with tears.” Bukhari & Muslim

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

#Thread on #Hindu #Hinduism & #Hindutva. I saw this as an imprudent need & hence the thread as below cc @vivekagnihotri @RatanSharda55 @Sanjay_Dixit @_NAN_DINI @GitaSKapoor @sankrant @DikshitSmita @Shubhrastha 👇🏼Pic: Trimurti Sadashiva sculpture on Gharapuri Island
2/n #Hinduism is a reduced nomenclature given to the Sanatana Dharma by British in 1830s. The word Hinduism is formed by adding suffix ISM to Hindu.

ISM is defined as a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.
3/n It must be understood that Hindu term always had geo-cultural meaning covering for people residing amid Sindhu River, Himalayas & Indu Sagar. Then in this case adding suffix ISM is nothing but mocking English Language. Eg, u can’t add Ism to Japanese and call Japaneism.

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

#thread One of the biggest misconceptions of new managers is that they think they need to come across as having strong personalities and no weaknesses.

What they don't realize is that by doing that they alienate people. #thread 👇
* When junior people see their managers as very strong, they might be scared to share their opinion
* When senior people see their managers as strong on things that don't make sense, they might think they're an idiot and not say anything
I think the best thing we can do with our teams is create a vulnerability based trust where we can be who we really are. We're never as strong as when we're ourselves.

THREAD: To be clear, the #SamanthaBee story is a distraction (as was the #Roseanne story.) But given that I blog/tweet about feminism, I feel the need to comment. /1
I'll start by saying, I never use the "C-word" (writing it this way feels stupid- but I actually don't even usually say it). I think it's vile and angry and when used by men, always has a menace/threat involved (in the US- I understand in the UK it's used more often.) /2
I wouldn't have used the word. But I actually know a lot of feminists who do- in an attempt to reclaim it and take back some power (see Nasty Woman t shirts) I see Samantha Bee in that vein. I don't agree with it & cringe every time she uses it. /3
