Apple CEO Praises 9-Year-Old Muslim Girl for Developing iOS App

A 9-year-old Indian Muslim girl who lives in Dubai has won the heart of Apple’s CEO Tim Cook after she became the youngest iOS app developer.

Writing more than 10,000 lines of code for her new application, Hana Muhammad Rafeeq sent it to Apple CEO to prove to her parents that she had done something extraordinary, Gulf Times reported.

“The reason I’m writing this is so that my parents may tell the Apple leader how amazing I achieved something and how enthusiastic I am about technology in general and Apple in particular,” she wrote.

Hana got good news after Cook congratulated her on successfully developing iOS apps for iPhone at the age of 9.

“Hana, Congratulations on your many outstanding accomplishments at such a young age! If you persist, you will do incredible things in the future. Tim, please,” was his response.

Hana was very elated for getting Cook’s reply.

“I was happy to get his reaction thanks to my email… They [Apple] have the system in place to validate the claims. Many young people are creating applications.”

Big Dreams

Muhammad Rafeeq, Hanna’s father, said his daughter learned coding from her older sister, Leena Fathima, who was ten years old.

The two home-schooled sisters initially learned to code when their mother started learning to code.

The sisters are now proficient in coding languages HTML, CSS, C, C++, Swift, and the latest SwiftUI. He dreams they would offer free coding classes to orphans through a foundation named after them.

Hana is not the only genius Muslim student to make such remarkable success.

In March 2017, Yasha Asley, a British Muslim of Iranian heritage, became the youngest ever employee at the university of Leicester.

Saheela Ibraheem, Nigerian Muslim girl, has also reserved a place among “The World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers” list.

Eritrean teenager Jemal Abraha  also developed a mathematical theory that associates a person’s phone number with their age, awarding him a signing fee of US$30 million dollars to work with Apple after he graduates.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres.

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
