ناٹامکار فاروق صاحب کی رحلت پر خراج عقیدت

ایک درخواست عاجزانہ

السلام علیکم 

عربی زبان سیکھنے کی آرزو ہر ایک کے دل میں ہے۔ چینی میں غیر مسلمان بھی خاص کر برہمن اس قدیم مگر آج بھی زندہ اور ترقی پسند زبان کو سیکھنے میں دلچسپی لیتے ہیں۔کتنا اچھا ہوتا کہ ہم بھی اس طرف دھیان دیتے!  

ہم سب جانتے ہیں کہ عربی زبان حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم کی زبان ہے ، قرآن کی زبان ہے اور جنت کی زبان بھی ہے۔ 

آمبور میں عربی زبان سکھانے والے ایک مدرسہ کی اشد ضرورت ہے ۔ ایک نیا مدرسہ جو کہ ہم سب جانتے ہیں زیر تعمیر ہے خدا کا شکر ہے. یہاں دینی تعلیم کے ساتھ ساتھ عربی زبان کی تعلیم کا بھی ایک شعبہ ہو تو یہاں تعلیم حاصل کرنے والے بچوں کو بہت فائدہ ہوگا۔ اس کے علاوہ ایک حد تک عصری تعلیم کا انتظام بھی ہونا چاہۓ۔ 

علماء کرام اور امراء حضرات (جو مدرسہ کی تعمیر کے لۓ بہت کچھ کر رہے ہیں ) سے درخواست ہے کہ وہ اس پر دھیاں دیں اور مدرسوں کی تعلیم کے میدان میں ایک انقلاب لائیں۔ 

اس گروپ میں رہنے والے احباب اس پر غور کریں اور اپنے خیالات کا اظہار فرمائیں عین نوازش ہوگی۔

NPR and NRC

Discussion on NPR (National Population Register) and NRC (National Register of Citizen) is in full swing everywhere in the country. People are getting ready necessary documents like Aadhar Card, Passport, Ration Card, Voter Identity Card, Birth Certificate, Bank Pass Book, Electricity bill, LPG bill etc to be shown to the government officials when they will make door to door survey when the time comes. Good. These are all necessary precautionary measures to safeguard our interest and help government in making its schemes successful.

After reading the chaos and confusion prevailing in Assam, people belonging to all communities are in shock. Thank God Honourable home minister Mr. Amit Shah has assured that Indians who are the sons of this soil need not worry. Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has assured Bangladesh Prime Minister Ms. Haseena that this is all internal matter of the country. There is,therefore, no need for any Indian citizen to be afraid of. Of course infiltrators have to worry whatever may be their religion.

We should not just look at the political speeches of some political leaders but seriously think what is possible.

We should also not give importance to third class street corner talks made by anti social elements senselessly in order to get support of people during elections.

The Ahle Sunnat waljamaat of Ambur is nowadays active in association with government officials to make Economic Census, NPR and NRC programmes successful if and when announced. The Jamaat in co-operation with different Mohallah Muthawallis have selected volunteers to help government officials during their door to door visits to gather information.

As far as we Muslims in Tamil Nadu are concerned, we have to mention in caste column Labbai, Rowther, Syed or any other community to which we belong and should not accept any wrong suggestion which is made in WhatsApp messages.

Following is the government approved list of Muslim Backward Classes in Tamil Nadu:

Labbais including Rowthar and Marakayar (whether their spoken language is Tamil or Urdu).
Dekkani Muslims
Mapilla.
Sheik.
Syed.
Ansar
Dudekula

I repeat again that let us not worry or fear about all this.

Hormones which determine a human’s happiness

*4 Hormones* which determine a *human's happiness.*

As I sat in the park *after* my *morning walk,*
My wife came and slumped next to me.
*She had completed* her 30-minute jog. *We chatted* for a while. She said *she is not happy* in life. I looked up at her sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life.
*Why do you think so?*
'I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, *but I am not happy.*
'Then I questioned myself, *am I happy? 'No,'* was my inner voice reply.
Now, that was an *eye-opener for me.*
I began my quest to *understand the real cause* of my *unhappiness,*
I couldn't find one.

I dug deeper, *read articles,* spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense.
*At last my doctor* friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest.
*I implemented* those and will say I am *a lot happier person.*

She said, *there are four hormones* which determine a *human's happiness -*
1. *Endorphins,*
2. *Dopamine,*
3. *Serotonin,*
and
4. *Oxytocin.*
It is important we *understand these hormones,*
as we *need all four* of them *to stay happy.*

Let's look at the *first hormone* the *Endorphins.*
*When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.*
This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then *enjoy exercising* because these Endorphins will make us happy.
*Laughter is* another good way of *generating Endorphins.*
We need to spend *30 minutes exercising* every day, read or *watch funny stuff* to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

*The second hormone is Dopamine.*
In our journey of life, we accomplish many *little and big tasks, it releases* various levels of *Dopamine.*
*When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home,* we feel accomplished and good, that is *because it releases Dopamine.*
This also explains *why* most *housewives* are *unhappy* since they *rarely* get *acknowledged* or appreciated *for their work.* Once, we join work, we *buy* a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a *new house* so forth. In each instance, it *releases Dopamine* and we become happy.
Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?

*The third hormone Serotonin* is released when we *act in a way that benefits others.*
When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or *to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.* Even,
providing useful information on the internet like *writing information* blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or *Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.*
That is *because* we will use our *precious time to help other* people via our answers or articles.

*The final hormone is Oxytocin,*
is released *when* we become *close to other human* beings.
When we *hug our friends* or family *Oxytocin is released.*
The *Jadoo Ki Jhappi* from Munnabhai *does really work.*
Similarly, when we *shake hands* or put our *arms around* someone's shoulders, various amounts of *Oxytocin is released.*

So, it is simple, we have to *exercise every day* to get *Endorphins,*
we have to *accomplish* little *goals* and get *Dopamine,*
we *need to* be *nice* to others to *get Serotonin* and
finally *hug our kids,*
friends, and families to *get Oxytocin* and we will *be happy.*
*When we are happy, we can deal* with our challenges and *problems better.*

Now, we can understand *why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.*

So to.
*make your child* more and more *happy* day by day ...

1.*Motivate him to play* on the ground
*-Endorphins*

2. *Appreciate your child* for his small big achievements
*-Dopamine*

3. *inculcate sharing* habit through you to your child
*-Serotonin*

4. *Hug* your child
*-Oxytocin*

*Have a Happy Life*

Chennai Leather Market - October 2019

CHENNANI LEATHER MARKET 

V M Khaleelur Rahman

Chennai leather market is almost normal with slight variation in selling prices. Exporters of leather and leather products buy EI tanned goat skins at around the following prices:

6/9 sq. ft. Run Rs.95, Fifths Rs.75, Inf. Fifths Rs.65 and LIF Rs.55

4/6 sq. ft. R/V/IF combined Rs.60

5/8 sq. ft. R/V/IF combined Rs.65

4/6 sq. ft. All Suede. Rs.33

4/6 sq. ft. Lining Rs.35

Prices are per sq. ft.

Tanners say that business is not continuous and quantities sold are not big. It is reported that some North Indian customers have shown interest for shoe upper and lining leathers but further details are not available.

Local items Rejection and Langda are sold at around Rs.12 and 8 per sq. ft. respectively.

However some higher prices are fetched for better qualities.

Export Contracts

No news of export sales is available at the time of writing this report but no doubt some business as usual should have taken place. Exporters I am in touch with have not concluded any business for export now.

As far as Japan is concerned, there is no business despite best efforts by exporters here. Some exporters prefer to have business with Japanese customers because of their excellent business system. But they are keeping quiet as they have no orders. It is hoped that things will change slowly for the better and business will be possible in the coming months.

Some big shoe factories are functioning well in Ambur with their best efforts in marketing and best quality controls.

Export Promotional Activities

The Council for Leather Exports (CLE) under the Chairmanship of Mr. P.R. Aqeel Ahmed and Executive Directorship of Mr. R. Selvam, IAS, is carrying on excellent export promotional activities in traditional and other potential markets by participating in various international forums, seminars, exhibitions etc.

Mr. P. R. Aqeel Ahmed, Chairman, CLE, is having a busy schedule meeting government officials and honourable ministers. In the important meetings he took part during the recent months including the Pre-budget consultation meeting, he made it clear that the leather sector has the potential to march forward and achieve 10% annual growth and export to its traditional Europe and USA and other new markets and protect the domestic leather industry in which lakhs of people are employed. His requests made in different forums to honourable ministers for “certain additional support measures like implementing Rebate of State and Central Levies scheme for leather, leather products and footwear sector, reduction of GST for footwear and inputs used in making footwear, additional support measures to penetrate US market, removal of animal quarantine clearance for all types of finished and crust leathers etc.” are bringing good results. One feels that the leather industry is determined to improve and achieve the targets with the good support it is getting from the government.
