“The AI revolution has been likened to the industrial revolution in its scale and impact on human life,” Network chairman Mohamady El-Gaby commented, Herald Series reported.

“Speakers working at the forefront of AI research will tackle the tough question surrounding AI head-on, including how AI research is changing the world and what Islam can bring to the table.”

Speakers include Noor Shaker, an inventor and entrepreneur who has been named a top leader in AI healthcare by Forbes, and Junaid Mubeen, author of ‘Mathematical Intelligence: What we have that machines don’t’ (who is also a Countdown octochamp).

Other speakers are Islem Rekik, Ali Eslami, and Mohsan Alvi, who have interests in the brain, virtual reality, and computer vision, respectively.

Although the concept of AI has been around since the 19th century, it only became feasible to achieve in recent decades.

Last month, four Muslim pioneers and thinkers made it to Time magazine’s inaugural TIME100 AI List, highlighting the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence (AI).

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 .

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).

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...
