Ramadan: Fasting During the Month of Blessings

2011-07-29T19:46:00.001-07:00

Ramadan is the ninth month of Islamic lunar calendar and during this month, believers are obliged to fast throughout the month in order to lead a calm life. On this page you will get to know how fasting in Ramadan is done and what are the basic facts of fasting in Ramadan:

According to the Shariah, Saum or fasting means abstinence from food, drink and other evil practices with the niyat or intention of worship from dawn till sunset. If a person does not eat or drink during the prescribed time, but he has not made the niyat for a fast, then in the terminology of Shariat or Islamic law, it will not be a fast.

Fasting during the month of Ramadan is obligatory on all Muslim adults, male and female. However, females who are in a state of menstruation or period of child-birth are not to keep the fast as long as such condition lasts; but they have to fast for an equal number of days after the purification bath has been taken.

A person who is ill may postpone the fast of Ramadan; if his physician fears that, the illness would increase or be prolonged. Likewise, a woman who is pregnant or suckling her baby may also postpone it. Postponement of fast during a journey is also allowed. These fasts should be kept as soon as possible, after the end of Ramadan and in any case, before the next Ramadan. A person who is so old and weak that he is unable to fast is not obliged to fast. But such a person must feed a needy person twice a day for each missed fast, or give grain and cash equal to Sadaqeah-e-Fitr. Before keeping a fast, it is desirable to take Sehri which can be eaten till dawn.

The person who fast is subject to all restrictions and prohibitions associated with a fast till the setting of the sun. Eating, drinking, smoking, taking of medicine by mouth are forbidden during fast. Swallowing something which is not used as food or drink or as a medicine, injecting liquid medicine, voluntary vomiting, smoking, the entering of water in the throat while gargling are things for which only a Qaza fast is necessary i.e., the person shall have to keep a fast after Ramadan instead of the one that was broken. But if the breaking of the fast through eating or drinking was intentional, then in addition to Qaza fast, the person shall have to pay the Kaffara that is, for every fast thus broken, he shall have to fast for continuous sixty days. Even if a single day’s fast is missed, he shall have to start all over again to complete the number of sixty days at a stretch. If the person cannot fast for continuous sixty days, he may, for each broken fast, feed sixty poor people twice a day; or he may give grain or cash equal to Sadaqah-e-Fitr to sixty people.

Ramadan is actually one of the special holy months of the Islamic calendar. It is also a very special time of the year for the Muslim community worldwide. People host Ramadan dinners, which are also known as Iftari in which they open their fasts and eat the traditionally prepared dishes. People also wish their loved ones the arrival of this holy month by sending Ramadan text messages and greeting cards. Many individuals customize their own Ramadan SMS and send them to their relatives. On this Ramadan, make sure that you pray Allah for the safety of your and the families living all around the world.

Internet phone is not something new. It has been prevailing in different forms since the early 1990’s. Earlier, internet phone had its own share of problems to deal with because of which it was not highly appreciated technology amongst the telephone users, but with the passage of time, things have turned much more advantageous for phone users switching to the VoIP providers. Here are the most important things that make this new phone a lot more attractive to use and abandon the soon getting obsolete technology called telephone.

A way better service

Phone services in the past have often struggled to deliver what they originally promised to their subscribers. Telephone always had numerous problems to deal with. The first was the poor technology that it used to deliver voice quality. Dependence on the analog signaling and copper wires is something belonging to the past. The new era phone users demand a lot more from their phone service. Broadband phones are able to provide them with a lot more than what they expect from their phone. Telephone is a slow to respond device with a lot of inherent technology issues. The biggest issue with telephone has been its reliability. Telephone users never know when their service will be down. VoIP provides like Axvoice offer highly dependable phone services

More features and call plans

Service features to offer to the phone users; have also increased with the increasing customer expectations from their phone service. Telephone yet proves itself again a limited service by offering just a few basic features to its subscribers.

Internet phone services offer excellent quality service features, which help their subscribers achieve a lot more with a lot less investment into VoIP. Many of the features that VoIP service offers have never been even heard of in days of telephone like; providing call log records, easy to access voicemail with many advanced features, free in network use to user calls, softphone support, voicemail notifications to your email address, and voicemail management via web.

Can be accessed from anywhere

The most potent offering of internet phone has been its portability. The biggest challenge that telephone never seems to cross over to compare itself with the broadband phone is that it can’t be used outside the place where you have got your connection. You are bound by location; that wire coming to your house from your telephone service provider, and obviously the connection itself. VoIP phone frees you from all these kinds of unnecessary things. All you need is an internet connection to hook your phone to and you are connected. You just don’t need to stick to one place because your phone does not work elsewhere.

Two Primary Reasons to Choose Axvoice

2010-12-29T05:49:00.001-08:00

I switched to VoIP in a very early stage but ever since I had suffered a lot because of poor service, bad quality, high rates and technical support that some of the services provided. Until one day a friend referred Axvoice. Hesitantly I switched not knowing what was in store; but I’m glad I chose it.

Axvoice gives what others just talk of; that is lowest rates available with best quality and unmatched service. I saved a fortune with using Axvoice. Following is a short comparison which I have been working on to fortify my claim of Axvoice being the cheapest VOIP provider.

Plan:

I chose “Residential USA/Canada Plan” for myself because it offered all the things that I needed. The basic plan costs just $14.99 per month, with only 1.5 cents on all international calls, incoming was absolutely free and it didn’t even cost me a single dime while I was activating it. Axvoice charges once and that to on the time of activation, the shipping and handling charges were $19.99 and at the first month they charged me $24.98. For a complete year Axvoice charged $199.87 if you are a cell phone user then this the amount you pay for usage of 2 cell phones for two months.

On the other hand if I had ended up with the other leading VOIP provider of the time they would have charged around $24.99 a month for the same kind of service. Handling charges are less but a huge sum of $68.03 is what it would have cost me and collectively it sums up to a more than $350 per year.

That's a saving of over 45% when compared with another Internet Phone Service Provider. You can save more than 80% on your phone bills if you switch from a landline to us.

Service:

Why just stick to the math because Axvoice did not benefit just with the cash it also provided the best telephony experience in the market. A service packed with over 25 features such as voice mail; call blocking, call filtering, international and local call block. Push calls, online account management, caller ID, 3 way calling and an online backup for all data and calls and all of these features cost not even a single penny. All other companies have at maximum 15 features and many companies charge for such features.

I have laid down my experience in front of you it is not like I have any thing against any other VOIP service or a traditional landlines or even cell phones.

Throughout the web of technology and especially with the increased demand for VoIP services, many people have been placed into a dilemma; what kind of VoIP service should I use? Such a question can only be answered by looking at the tastes and preferences of the intended user.

What many people are opting to do is to seek for help from those that are already enjoying the benefits of VoIP.

Thus, for a person seeking advice about the most dependable VoIP provider, a company like Axvoice, which has established the best brand name as far as VoIP phone service is concerned, would be the best alternative.

In fact, anyone wishing to join the VoIP Phone service network would be better dealing with such a company with a brand name than any other company.

The Advancements in Home Phone Service

Today, the technological advancements in the telecommunication industry have gone so much higher that with each passing day the households, businesses and large corporations expect new innovations and more faculties in order to ease their lives. VoIP has surely brought a new wave of change as a home phone service and in businesses also. People are no more relying on primitive dial-up connection methods for communication. The dial-up technology has somewhat become ancient for the modern day lives of people. Now, everyone is looking for fast, reliable and smooth communication services and VoIP has proved to be the ultimate answer to all such questions and problems. VoIP technology has not only advanced the audio, video and data communication in businesses and as a home phone service but it has also simplified the communication methods in many ways.

May the VoIP service be available for the businesses or as a home phone service; it claims to do no compromise on the quality and smooth flow of signals for communication. It contradicts the old telephones and communication systems where quality was not kept that important. Moreover, VoIP provides all those services which were never available within PSTN services. These services primarily include; call-forwarding, voice-mailing, caller ID etc. The users of VoIP must ensure that their service providers provide them with best and maximum quality services within a good IT infrastructure and maintain all the pre-requisites of QoS (quality of service).

The users must also know that for getting best quality services they need to have two things and those are a normal telephone set and an ATA (Analog Transmission Adapter). Normally, all the good service providers of VoIP give their customers the ATA themselves which further reduces the costs of installation of VoIP. This holds true for all the users of VoIP, may it be for business use or as a home phone service. It should be noted that the entire VoIP service is based upon IP (internet protocol) system which converts and reconverts the communication signals into even smaller IP packets which are in a digitalized form. This conversion of signals helps to absorb noise and maintain a steady flow of signals while the communication process is being carried out.

This conversion of signals into the form of smaller packets helps in reducing the per-minute call for the users which in turn leads to a reduced cost for making calls. There are basically two main types of internet protocol telephony and they are:

Free calls.
Small amounts paid for making per-minute calls.

The first option is mostly used by the home phone service users in order to remain in contact with their friends and relatives globally. While, the second option is mostly preferred by companies and big businesses who like to pay small amounts in order to get extended benefits of IP telephony. Furthermore, it enables the business to use the VoIP services with more reliability, security and trustworthiness on the communication system.

Overall, VOIP services enable all its users to reduce their costs of calling and save a good amount of money while having an effective communication system at the same time. It allows unlimited calls globally at surprisingly low rates unlike the traditional phone services.

Christmas:

Christmas is here, it is time when we'll be getting together with our best friends and our families will get together to pay tribute to Jesus Christ and to form harmony amongst each other to start a great new year. There is too much to do; so many presents to buy and dinner parties to arrange. There is a lot on the 'to do list' but the budget is tight; that is all because we've spent too much money on the parties, shopping and dining.

As Christmas is an important occasion, we must not miss celebrating each minute of it. Even if you're not in a state of spending good amount of money this Christmas, you still can enjoy it by spending little.

Best Gift Wrapping Tips:

If you've bought a gift; wrap it with paper or sheet that is already present at your home. There might be many old magazines or newspapers with shiny pages in your house; these can be used as wrapping papers. You can even wrap a gift with a vibrant cloth, if available at home, this might make your gift look simply yet unique. I do a lot of experimentations while wrapping gifts; I've even tried wrapping a gift with another gift. Thinking how? Well that's quite easy and yet a very unique way; I once bought a cute pair of socks and candies for my little niece and I actually stuffed each sock with the sweets I bought for her. She was quite amazed to see how different my gift was and she really liked it - including all the other relatives at the Christmas dinner. This might be an easy way but if you're planning to do the same, keep in mind that you choose a pair of socks which looks really good and it must be colorful. You can even come up with great ideas of giving gift on Christmas if you just think a little more creative; my aunt once gave me a big balloon on my 6th Christmas, and I could tell it was filled with something. She told me to pop the balloon and see what's inside it and when I popped it, I got to know that the balloon was stuffed with my favorite brands of chocolates. That was one of the best Christmas gifts I remember and I think it's quite an interesting way to give a unique gift to the juniors of the family.

You too can come up with great ideas, especially if you know what your friends and relatives interests are about. Best way to wish Christmas is by sending Christmas sms messages and e-cards; make sure that you send these to all of your dear ones. Have a great Christmas.

Why VoIP Phone service?

Voice over Internet Protocol is the latest development in the field of communication. In the past few years various means of communication have been introduced in the market e.g. email, fax and GSM networks. These products allow individuals to establish communication with people in far flung areas beyond national and international boundaries. For instance if your relatives were living in Asia, you could easily exchange mails or faxes, however emails did not give a personal touch and could never take over a traditional telephone service. One of the biggest setbacks of a traditional telephone line was that it was a very expensive though efficient to a certain extent. Voice over IP phone service takes your internet connection to the next level. Among all the alternative means of communication available, VoIP today is the most efficient, user friendly and reliable mean of communication.

Voice over Internet Protocol technology has developed its market not only in the residential but in the corporate sector also. All businesses regardless of size are switching to VoIP phone services. VoIP brings numerous benefits to your business, starting from reduced telecommunication costs to enhancing flexibility, mobility and productivity of your employees.

As mentioned earlier, among the last few inventions in the fields of telecommunication are the GSM handheld handsets and we have mentioned earlier that they are very expensive to use. Therefore, if you have a Wi-Fi enabled GSM handset, you can use your VoIP service on your cell phone if you are within broadband internet coverage. This allows you to stay in touch with your colleagues and loved ones when you are away without incurring any substantial extra costs.

Before VoIP was introduced in the market, people had to keep a track of their messages and faxes by calling their office, which surely was very expensive, especially if you were out of the country. VoIP services allow you to check your voicemail, fax and e-mail, all at the same time from the same place. Voicemail and faxes are delivered directly to your email account where they can easily be accessed hence saving additional costs on calling your office to inquire about your messages. Therefore, Voice over IP phone gives you total flexibility and absolute control over your communications with the rest of the world.

Besides saving communication costs while on the go, Voice over IP allows you to permanently reduce your telecommunication costs. For instance if your living in Chicago and most of your relatives are in Denver, then you can purchase a Denver area code VoIP number. This allows you to save on long distance calling. Staying in touch has never been so easy before.

The last yet the biggest advantage that Microsoft leaves information technology professionals with, is the certification even if experience is low. This helps the achievers validate their skill, expertise, knowledge and capabilities and become a priority of employers over those who have more experience.

Some certifications require an experience and ammeters are not allowed to take their exams. Candidates can select their choice of exam to be taken and grow step by step by going further as they fill the requirements for higher courses.

Harare’s Stories from the Past

2010-06-21T00:03:00.001-07:00

Harare is the capital city of Zimbabwe with a couple of centuries old history. It has seen a long journey from the Shona settlement to the succeeding African invasions and from the British arrival in 1890 to the modern city it is today. What was originally settled by the British as fort for the military is today, a world class metropolitan center in southern Africa. Modern day Zimbabwean capital is a beautiful city housing a spectacular skyline, grand colonial buildings, tranquility and greenery and many attractions for tourists. Harare’s rapidly increasing popularity has caused flights to Harare to increase in numbers.

It was in the 19^th century that the Shona speakers, the first known settlers of Harare, emerged at the site. They were taken over by the Mbare people under the command of lower ranked, Chief Mbare. However, the rule of Chief Mbare could not last very long and he was overpowered by Chief Gutsa. Chief Gutsa was the last African leader to conquer the land as his short-lived victory at the site of present day Harare was soon replaced with the British rule. The city of Harare is named after its first settlers, the Shona speakers who, in the local language, were called Ne-Harawa in respect to their chief, Haarare. The world Haarare means “the one who does not sleep”.

British South Africa Company arrived in Harare on 11^th September 1980, led by Major Frank Johnson. The site of Harare was considered favorable for agriculture which was also rich in gold, thus a British fort was planned to be built there. Two days after Johnson’s arrival, England’s flag was hosted where now the Africa Unity Square stands. Originally set as Fort Salisbury, the area late came to be known as just “Salisbury”. Under the British rule, the locals were highly deprived of their rights, higher pays, better jobs and better living standards. All their interests were sidelined and they were suppressed. With this hostility from the British side, uprisings from the locals took place and conflicts between the locals and the British became common. Side by the side, Salisbury was seeing great developments. In 1897, Salisbury became a municipality and around the same time, some African chiefs who had led the uprising against the British, were hanged to death. In 1899, Salisbury saw the introduction of railways followed by two dams in 1913 to supply power to the 180 houses of the area. Soon after this, oil street lamps were replaced and the streets lit up with electricity. In 1935, Salisbury was given the status of a city where industries and factories running on electricity grew.

Great architectural works in the city continued at a higher pace and many of those works now draw tourists to grab their Harare flights. African influenced British architecture still decorates the cityscape with its magnificence.

In 1953, Salisbury became the capital of Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Then formed Southern Rhodesia followed by Republic of Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Rhodesia and Salisbury remained their capital. On April 18, 1980, Republic of Zimbabwe was formed and Salisbury was its capital. In 1982, on Zimbabwe’s second Independence Day, the name Salisbury was changed to Harare.

Harare is now regarded as one of the most beautiful African cities. Its tranquility, greenery, grandeur, museums and entertainment attract millions of tourists to the city each year. In addition, its prosperity has made possible, the availability of luxury hotels, international cuisines and cheap flights to Harare. This has made Harare, a paradise for holidaymakers.
