Some Reasons Behind Deviation From Path of The Messiah and Muhammad – [Some Early Christians and Heretics Who Ascribed to Islaam]
August 31, 2021 | Abdullah Jallow | Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Bid'ah (Innovation), Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Monotheism – Tawheed, Morals and Manners – 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Refutations, Shirk, Sin, Sufis
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, "It obligatory to know that the reason behind the misguidance of the Christians and their ilk – amongst those who go beyond bounds, such as those devoted in worship, the Shiites and other than them- is due to three affairs: Firstly, utilizing of ambiguous general terms and terms that are difficult to understand, and then turning away from terms that are clear and unambiguous. Whenever they hear a term that carries ambiguity, they cling to it and embrace it in their religion, even if it not a proof for it. As for the explicitly clear terms that are in opposition to their path, either they abstain from utilizing them or give them a false interpretation just as the people of falsehood do. They follow the ambiguous intellectual and divine proofs [i.e. terms and meanings which can either be used for truth or falsehood when not explained in detail and distinguished] and then turn away from the unambiguous and explicitly clear proofs. Secondly, Khawaariq – [Phenomena that is attributed to something beyond what is usual or what normally happens, but not equated to the miracles of the Prophets] – which they think are divine signs (evidences, proofs etc), but they are actually affairs related to the devils. This is from that which often misguides the polytheists and other than them, such as shaytaan entering an idol and speaks to the people, the devils informing a magician about the affairs of the unseen and definitely lying as well. (1) Aa'isha [may Allaah be pleased with her] said, "I heard Allah's Messenger [peace and blessing of Allaah be upon him] saying, 'The angels descend in the clouds and mention this or that matter decreed in the Heaven. The devils listen stealthily to such a matter, come down to inspire the soothsayers with it, and they add to it one-hundred lies of their own'". (2) Thirdly, reports transmitted to them which they think are true, but instead they are lies. Neither the Christians [i.e. those Christians who change the religion of the Messiah] nor others amongst the people of misguidance have any sound intellectual proofs or sound reports to support their falsehood. When they speak about intellectual proofs, they speak based on ambiguous general terms, but when the meanings of those words are explained and its truth and falsehood are distinguished, then that which it contains of deception and ambiguity becomes manifest. And when they speak about reports, then either it is correct and does not support their falsehood or it is not authentic, rather it is lies.
Likewise, that which they mention regarding miracles, either it is sound and did take place from a Prophet such as the miracles of the Messiah and those before him, such as Ilyaas, Al-Yasa' (Elisha), Moosaa and other than them amongst the Prophets [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them], then this is truth; or they are miracles that occurred from some of the righteous people, such as the disciples. However, this does not necessitate that the disciples are infallible like the Prophets, because indeed the Prophets are infallible in that which they relate from Allaah and they do not speak about Allaah except that which is true and no falsehood is found in their statements- neither deliberately nor mistakenly. As for the righteous people, they can definitely mix up affairs by mistake and err, regardless of the miracles that occur from them, so neither does this remove them from the fact that they are righteous men nor does it necessitate that they are infallible. And if one was to claim that he is infallible even though he is not a Prophet, then he is a liar and his lies will definitely manifest, the devils will accompany him, misguide him and thus the statement of Allaah applies to him:
هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ۬
Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend? They descend on every lying (one who tells lies), sinful person. [Surah Ash-Shu'araa. Verses 221-222] [Ref 3]
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] also said:
The Khawaariq by way of which the devils misguide the children of Aadam – such as when the devils take the image of a person who is absent or has passed away and what is similar to this – has misguided many of those who ascribe themselves to the Muslims or to the people of the Scripture. They base this on two affairs: "Firstly, that whoever from whom these khawaariq occurs is a Wali, and according to the term of the Christians he is a Qadees A'dheem – a great saint! Secondly, that the one from whom these khawaariq occurs is therefore infallible- everything he narrates is truth and everything he commands is justice".
However, it can definitely be the case that neither did a phenomena outside the norm – whether unrelated or related to sound knowledge and piety – occur from such a person nor a phenomena outside the normal related to deeds of the devils; rather the person merely carried out the tricks of the liars and wicked sinners. The tricks of the liars and wicked sinners are numerous indeed, so one thinks that they are amazing affairs outside the norm, however neither is that the case nor is it something similar to the tricks of the monks. Some people have written books regarding the tricks of the monks, such as the trick reported about one of them changing water into oil- that when the oil is in the interior of the lighthouse, the water gradually reduces and thus the oil floats [or pops up] on the water, so those who are present think that the water has changed into oil. The likes of this affair are numerous from the tricks of those Christians, because all that those Christians possess – those who altered the religion of the Messiah [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] – of activities that are attributed to something out of the norm are either from the devils or they are tricks, and there's nothing in them related to the miracles of the righteous people.
Likewise, the people of deviation- those who seek to alter the religion of Muhammad – adopt a religion that is not legislated by Allaah and His Messenger, then they make it a path of worship and give it precedence over the path that is legislated by Allaah and His Messenger. For example, they give precedence to listening to sounds from the tambourines and the shrill flutes over listening to the book of Allaah, so one of them goes into a state of ecstasy and a satanic trance through which he becomes muddled up with shaytaan until he speaks in a language he does not know. Then when he returns to his senses – just as when a jinn speaks through the tongue of the one who is possessed and after informing the people of that which is in his heart and soul, which is from the Shaytaan, and the shaytaan leaves him -, he cannot repeat what he said at first.
The Mulhidoon (a) alter the religion of the Messengers – either the religion of the Messiah or seek to alter the religion of Muhammad, and amongst the likes of such people are the people of Ilhaad (b), misguidance, the disbelievers, the polytheists, apostates and other than them, such as the likes of Musaylimah the liar, Al-Aswad Al-Unzee, Al-Haarith Ad-Dimashqee, Baabaa Roomee and other than them amongst those who engaged in activities that are considered to be outside the norm [i.e. so called miracles] but [in reality] are related to the deeds of the devils.
As for the tricksters, they are numerous and they are not Awliyaa of Allaah, rather their so called amazing activities that are outside the norm, if not related to the satanic deeds of the soothsayers and the magicians, then they are tricks. They deliberately lie and deceive unlike those connected to the devils, because amongst them is he who deceives, so one thinks that what he does is from the miracles of the righteous people, just as amongst them is one who knows that what he does is from the devils, but he does so in order to achieve his goals.
The intent behind this discussion is that many of the activities that are considered to be outside of the norm [i.e. so called miracles] are either satanic deeds or tricks, so one thinks that they are the true miracles of the righteous people, for indeed that which whose cause is based on Shirk and wicked deeds can only be from the devils, such as when a person associates partners with Allaah by invoking the stars, or invokes a person- whether such a person is dead or absent, or he makes an oath through unknown words and statements whose meanings are not known, or he knows that they are names of devils, or seeks aid through lewd conduct and oppression, then such deeds – considered to be outside of the norm that emanates from this – are from the devils.
The righteous people have miracles such as the miracles of the pious people of this Ummah [may Allaah have mercy upon them], the miracles of the disciples of the Messiah [may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Messiah, and may Allaah have mercy upon the disciples] and other than them amongst those who were upon the correct and unaltered religion of the Messiah. However, the occurrence of miracles at the hands of the righteous people does not necessitate that they are infallible like the Prophets [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them]; rather it maybe that a righteous man- a Wali – has miracles, but despite this he mixes up by error and makes a mistake in that which he thinks or what he is made to hear or see, or what he sees, or what he understands from the revealed Scrippure. And because of this, the statements of those other than the Prophets [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them] can either be accepted or rejected [i.e. based on evidence], but as for the Prophets [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them], it is obligated on a person to affirm truthfully everything they have related regarding the affairs of the unseen and obey them in everything they command. And due to this, Allaah [The Exalted] obligated on a person to believe in everything the Prophets [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them] brought and did not obligate on a person to believe in everything that comes from others. Allaah [The Exalted] said:
قُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٲهِـۧمَ وَإِسۡمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَـٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَٱلۡأَسۡبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٍ۬ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَنَحۡنُ لَهُ ۥ مُسۡلِمُونَ
Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)." [Surah Al-Baqarah. Aayah 136]
Allaah [The Exalted] said:
لَّيۡسَ ٱلۡبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ قِبَلَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلۡبِرَّ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕڪَةِ وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets. [Suraah Al-Baqarah. Aayah 177]
And because of this the Muslims are all in agreement that the one who disbelieved in a single Prophet whose Prophethood is well known, then he is a disbeliever- an apostate. There is no distinction between one Prophet from the other- by believing in some and disbelieving in others. Allaah said:
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ نُؤۡمِنُ بِبَعۡضٍ۬ وَنَڪۡفُرُ بِبَعۡضٍ۬ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ بَيۡنَ ذَٲلِكَ سَبِيلاً
أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ حَقًّ۬ا‌ۚ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابً۬ا مُّهِينً۬ا
Verily, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between Allah and His Messengers (by believing in Allah and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, "We believe in some but reject others," and wish to adopt a way in between. They are in truth disbelievers. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment. [Surah An-Nisaa. Aayaat 150-151][Ref 4]
Emergence of Some Deviated Groups In The Ummah
Shaikh Shamsuddeen Al-Afghaanee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said:
Allaah [The Most High] guided mankind though Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] and though what he brought of clear manifest evidences and guidance-a guidance that could not be described by those who were proficient in giving descriptions and surpassed the knowledge of those with great perception. So, though this guidance that was given to the Messenger, Allaah [The Most High] opened the eyes of the blind ones, the ears of the deaf ones and the hearts of the heedless ones. Allaah [The Most High] united them upon one religion-[the religion of Islamic monotheism; Ibraaheem's [alayhis-salaam] religion of pure monotheism]-after they had been in complete disunity, enmity towards one another, upon destructive and corrupt creeds. Allaah united their hearts and they became true brothers in Islaam by way of this great blessing. And thereafter everything that was worshiped besides Allaah-such as graves, trees, stones, graven images, idols etc- ceased to exist and all worship was carried out for Allaah (alone).
The people followed the true Religion of Islamic monotheism; they worshipped Allaah alone and established worship sincerely for Allaah, except those whom Allaah willed that they were to remain as people of polytheism, hypocrisy and followers of the altered and distorted previous scriptures. The darkness of shirk was dispelled and the banner of Tawheed was raised in the lands-amongst the Arabs and non-Arabs.
Allaah [The Most High] took away the soul of His Messenger, whilst Islaam was established and in authority-superseding all other ways of life and creeds. Then the rightly guided khulafaa of the Messenger continued upon this path until the two powerful and great nations at the time-Rome and Persia-ended up in humiliation, degradation and in a state of fear after they had been in a state of security, and thus Caesar was restricted and besieged, and khosrau was subdued and destroyed.
So when the enemies of Islaam saw that they were unable to do away with this religion, they implanted their disbelieving agents within Islam, who pretended to be Muslims in order to foment confusion, trials and tribulations; and in order to spread shirk by exaggerating the status of the pious people and exalting their graves with [beliefs and practices] that were not ordained by Allaah.
So, this Ummah was put to trial through the plots of the [atheist, heretic and hypocrite] Abdullaah Bin Saba, who claimed Uloohiyyah [i.e. the right to be worship] for Ali Ibn Abee Taalib [may Allaah be pleased with him]. Abdullaah Bin As-Sabah's followers were known as the Saaba-iyyah, and later on they were known as the rawaafid (shiites), the ismaaliyyah (shittes), the nusayriyah (shiites) and other than them amongst the Baatiniyyah. They used to worship the graves and the dead, and they used to build places of worship and domed [shaped] shrines upon these graves. So, by way of this they revived the practices of the Yahood, the Nasaaraa and the idol worshippers, and thus the practices of the worshippers of graves in this Muslim Ummah manifested itself in actions that were carried out by the rawaafid (shiites).
Secondly: The books of Greek philosophy that contained the ideas of grave and idol worship were translated into Arabic, so many of those who attributed themselves to Islam busied themselves with these books, such as the likes of Al- Faraabee (1) Ibn Sinaa Al-Hanafi (2) Naseer At- Toosee the advocator of disbelief and shirk (3) and other than them amongst those who played tricks with Islaam, just as Paul played tricks with Christianity.
They were influenced by the ideas of the Greek Philosophers, such as the creed of grave worship, so they became callers to grave worship through Greek Philosophy. The practices of these people was rife within the ranks of the people of rhetoric amongst the Hanafi Maatooreediyyah (4) and the Ash-ariyyah Kullaabiyyah due to busying themselves with the Books of the Philosophers; so they were influenced by the creed of grave worship. They became callers to grave worship and callers to the creed of the Jahmiyyah at the same time, such as the likes of Taftaazaanee Al-Hanafi [The Philosopher of the Maatooreediyyah and Grave worshipers] and Jurjaanee Al-Hanafi [a caller to superstition]
[1] Al-Faraabee: Al-Faraabee said that Philosophy is more perfect than Prophet hood. Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said about him: ''Misguided; a disbeliever'' Ibn Sinaa adopted his books and ideas of disbelief. [For further details concerning Al- Faraabee, See Majmoo Al-Fataawaa 2/67—86] [Dar At-Ta'aarud 1/10] [Ighaathatul Luhfaan 2/372-373].
[2] Ibn Sinaa: Imaam Ibnu Salaah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said about him: ''He was a devil amongst the human devils.'' [See Fataawaa Ibn Salaah 1/209] [Also see: 'Ar-Radd Alal Mantaqiyyeen' of Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah 278-279] ['Ighaathatul Luhfaan' of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim 2/373-380] [Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah' of Imaam Ibn Katheer 12/43]
[3] Naasir At-Toosee: He was a magician and a minister of the Tartars. He rejected the 'resurrection'. For further details, see: As-Sawaa-iq Al-Mursalah of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him]. 2/790; 3/1077-1078
[4]Followers of the Jahmi Abu Mansoor Al- Maatooreedi Al-Hanafi [For further details, see the Book of Shaikh Shamsud-deen al-Afghaanee titled: 'Al-Maatooreediyyah' 1/205—376] [d] Juhoodu Ulamaa Al-Hanafiyyah Fee Ibtaal Aqaa- id Al-Qubooriyyah Vol 1 pages 23-24
Thirdly: A people appeared among the Muslims manifesting asceticism. These people were more dangerous to the masses and more severe in misguidance. They were a people who appeared in the garb of the righteous, with tearful eyes smeared with kohl, long flowing beards, elevated turbans, carrying rosary beads and pretending to be calling to the sunnah of the leader of Humankind [Muhammad], whilst secretly practicing the disgraceful acts inherited from the false and vanished religions. And from their plots was that they used to mix manifest lies with the authentic explanations of the qur'aan and the authentic narrations in order to corrupt the clear proofs of the qur'aan and the sunnah. These deviant heretics were known as the holooliyyah, ittihaadiyyah Grave worshippers [ref 1], such as the likes of al-hallaaj (309ah), ibnul faarid (632ah), ibn arabi (638ah), ibn sina (669ah) etc [Excerpt from Juhoodu Ulamaa Al-Hanafiyyah Fee Ibtaal Aqaa'id Al-Qubooriyyeen. Vol 1. Page 19-25]
Hulooliyyah and ittihaadiyyah: Hulool- Lit. "Entering" – Divine indwelling. The belief that Allaah dwells within a particular human. i.e. That Allaah dwells in a particular Soofi shaykh, a pious person, a Prophet – This belief is shared by Christians, certain Soofies, certain Shiites, Sikhs and others.
Wahdaatul Wujood – Lit – Unity of Existence. The belief that all existence is a single existence and everything we see are only aspects of the Essence of Allaah. This belief is also held by certain Soofies, Hindus and others.
Those who believe in hulool say that Allaah dwells and is incarnate in human beings, High is Allaah above and far removed from that. This was openly called to by some of the extreme Sufis, such as al-Husayn ibn Mansoor al-Hallaaj who was declared to be an unbeliever by the scholars. They ordered that he be executed and he was crucified in the year 309H. The following saying is attributed to him: "Glory to Him who manifested His human nature, Hiding the piercing brightness of His divinity: Till His creation saw Him openly, In the form of one eating and drinking" Attributed by al-Wakeel to the book at Tawaaseen of al Hallaaj (p. 130).
And his saying: "I am the one who loves and the One who is loved is me, We are two spirits who dwell in a single body. So when you see me you see Him, and when you see Him you see us both."So al-Hallaaj was a believer in hulool and believed in the duality of the divine nature and that the Deity had both a divine and a human nature. Thus the divine becomes incarnate within the human so that the human spirit is the divine nature of the Deity and the body is its human form. Despite the fact that he was killed for his evil apostasy and although some of the Sufis declare themselves free of him, yet others count him as a Sufi, hold that his beliefs were correct, and write down his words. From them is Abdul-'Abbaas ibn 'Ataa al-Baghdaadee, Muhammad ibn Khaleef ash? Sheeraazee and Ibraheem an-Nasraabaadhee, as is reported by al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee.
Wahdatul-Wujood, i.e. that all in existence is a single reality, and that everything we see is only aspects of the Essence of Allaah. The chief claimant of this belief was Ibn 'Arabee al-Haatimee at-Taa'ee, who was buried in Damascus having died in the year 638H. He himself says about this belief in his book al-Fatoohaat-ul-Makkiyyah: "The slave is the Lord and the Lord is a slave, I wish that I knew which was the one required to carry out the required duties. If I were to say the servant then that is true, or if I were to say the Lord, then how can that be required for Him." Al-Fatoohaat-ul-Makkiyyah as it is attributed by Dr. Taqiyyuddeen al-Hilaalee in his book al-Hadiyyatul-Haadiyah (p.43).
He also says in al-Fatoohaat: "Those who worshipped the calf worshipped nothing except Allaah." Quoted as Ibn 'Arabee's saying by Ibn Tayrniyyah in al-Fataawaa (vol.11), who attributes it to the book al-Fatoohaat. Ibn 'Arabee is called 'al-'Aarif billaah' (The one having great knowledge of Allaah) by the Sufis, and also 'al-Qutubul Akbar' (The great pivot), 'al-Miskul-Adhfar' (the sweetest smelling musk), "al-Kibreetul-Ahmar' (the reddest brimstone), despite his belief in wahdatul-wujood and other calamitous sayings. Indeed he praised Fir'awn (Pharaoh) and declared that he died upon Eemaan! Furthermore he speaks against Haroon for his criticism of his peoples worship of the calf, thus directly opposing the text of the Qur'aan. He also held that the Christians were Unbelievers only because they made divinity particular to 'Eesaa, whereas if they had made it general to all then they would not have been unbelievers. [Despite all the gross deviation of Ibn 'Arabee and the fact that the scholars declared him to be an Unbeliever, yet he is revered by the Sufis and others who do not distinguish between the truth and falsehood, and those who turn away from accepting the truth even when it is as clear as the sun. But his books, which are filled with clear apostasy, such as al-Fatoohaatul-Makkiyyah and Fusoosul-Hikam are still circulated. He even has a tafseer, which he called at-Tafseerul-Baatin since he holds that there is an apparent and a hidden meaning for every Aayah, so the outer meaning is for the people of Ta'weel. From this group came Ibn Basheesh who said: "O Allaah rescue me from the mire of Tawheed, and drown me in the center of the sea of unity, and mix me into the state of unity and oneness until I do not see, nor hear, nor sense except through it." http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=8&Topic=3528
Hallaaj – The Heretical Soofi Fraudster
Imaam Ibn Katheer [may Allaah have mercy upon him] reports an incident regarding a man who witnessed Al-Hallaaj's tricks, saying: The witness stated, "I used to hear that Al-Hallaaj have miracles and I wished to experience it. So I approached and greeted him, so he said to me, 'Do you desire something this hour?' I said, 'I desire fresh fish'. So, he entered his house and was absent for an hour, then he came out to me with a fish that was grasping for air and his two feet were soiled with mud. He said to me, 'I supplicated to Allaah and He commanded me go to the river bed to bring you this fish. I went into the surrounding area and this mud is from there'. I said, 'You can take me in your house if you wish so that I can have a look in order to strengthen my certainty. I will believe in you unless something else becomes apparent to me'. He said, 'Enter'. I entered, then he locked the door, sat down and put on an act. I went around the house, but could not find access to anything else other than it, so I was perplexed by his affair. I looked and there was a barrier (or covering), so I shook it and it gave way, and there was a door that gave access. I entered and it led me to an enormous orchard with all types of fresh fruits and many things to eat. There was a big pond with numerous fish – large and small, so I entered into it and took one fish from it and my feet got soiled with mud just as what happened to his feet. Then I went to the door and said, 'Open the door I believe you', but when he saw me in the same state he was [i.e. my feet soiled with mud], he rush and ran behind me to murder me, so I hit him in the face with the fish and said to him, 'O enemy of Allaah! You have exhausted me today'. After escaping from him, I met him some days thereafter, so he smiled at me and said, 'Do not spread it. I have not seen anyone otherwise I would have sent someone to murder you on your bed'. So, I knew that he will murder me if I reveal what I knew about him and I did not speak about it until he was crucified'". [Ref 5]
Al-Khateeb Al-Bagdaadee [may Allaah have mercy upon him] reported that Al-Hallaaj commanded one of his close companions to go to one of the mountainous lands and instructed him as follows: "Manifest to the people your devotion in worship, righteousness and abstinence. After they incline towards you, love you and believe in you tell them that you have been afflicted with blindness, and after some time make it known to them that you are crippled. If they hasten to give you treatment, say to them, 'O good people! I will not be benefited by anything you do'. Then after some time, you should tell them that you have seen Allaah's Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] -in a dream – saying to you, 'Indeed, you cannot be cured except at the hands of a Qutb (1) and he will come to you on such and such day, and on such and such month, and his description is such and such', and then I [i.e. Al-Hallaaj] will come to you at that appointed time'".
So, the man [i.e. Al-Hallaaj's accomplice] went to that land and resided there. He performed out acts of worship, manifested righteousness and engaged in recitation of the Qur'an. After staying there for some time, the people believed in him and loved him, so he made known to them that he is afflicted with blindness. Then after some time, he made known to them that he has been suffering from inveterate sickness, so they hastened to do whatever they could to find a cure for him, but could not find a solution. He said to them, "O good people! What you are doing has not resulted in anything and indeed I have seen Allaah's Messenger in a dream and he said to me, 'Indeed, your wellbeing and cure is only in the hands of a Qutb and he will be coming to you on such and such day, and in such and such month'". So, the people began taking him to the Masjid and honouring him because of the appointed time he has spoken about regarding the arrival of the Qutb. Then after sometime, Al-Hallaaj entered the land discreetly with a white woollen garment. He went to the Masjid and stayed in a specific place, engaged in worship and did not pay attention to anyone. The people recognized him based on the description given to them by the person (who is feigning ill health – Al-Hallaaj accomplice), so they approached him, greeted him and started stroking him (i.e. gently as a sign of admiration, respect etc). Then when the appointed time arrived [i.e. the time mentioned to them about the arrival of the Qutb (Al-Hallaaj the fraudster)], the people informed the one (feigning illness) about the man in the Masjid, so he said to them, "Describe the person", and after they described the man (i.e. Al-Hallaaj), he said to them, "That was the person about whom I was informed – in my dream – that my cure is in his hands. Take me to him". They took him and placed him in front of the man (i.e. Al-Hallaaj), so he said, "O Abu Abdillaah (i.e. addressing Al-Hallaaj)! I saw Allaah's Messenger [sallall laahu alayhi wasallam] in a dream…and then he narrated his dream. Al-Hallaaj raised his hands and supplicated, then he spittle on his palms and rubbed them on the man's face and both eyes opened as if they were never blind. Then he took some of the spittle and rubbed it on the man's legs and thus the man stood up and walked – in the presence of the people, the rulers of that land and the nobles- as if nothing happened to him. The people exclaimed "Allaah is the Greatest! Glorified be Allaah!" They exalted Al-Hallaaj with an exaltation that increased the falsehood he manifested to them.
The Plan Finalised
Al-Hallaaj stayed with them for some and they honoured and exalted him. When he wanted to depart, he wanted them to gather a lot of wealth for him, so he said, "As for me, I have no need of the worldly things, rather we have reached this level [i.e. of piety] through abandoning the worldly things, but it may be that this companion of yours [i.e. Al-Hallaaj's accomplice] has brothers and companions amongst the Abdaal (2), who are striving in the path of Allaah at Tartus, performing pilgrimage and giving in charity, and they are in need of what aids them to traverse this path". Then the man who was in a state of chronic illness and was now cured [i.e. Al-Hallaaj's accomplice] said to the people, "The Shaikh has spoken the truth. Indeed, Allaah gave me back my eyesight and blessed me with wellbeing so that I can spend the rest of my life to exert myself in the path of Allaah and perform hajj together with our righteous Abdaal brothers". So, he urged the people to give wealth. Al-Hallaaj departed and the man stayed with the people until they gathered a lot of wealth, including gold and silver. After they gathered the wealth, he gave them a farewell speech and departed, then he goes to Al-Hallaaj and they shared the wealth. [Ref 6]
Footnotes a and b: Meaning of the terms Il'haad, and Mul'hid [plural (Mul'hidoon)]: The Mul'hidoon are the people of Il-haad. Ilhaad means to turn away from that which one is obligated to believe in or to fulfil. This is a general definition of Il'haad and anyone who turns away from that which is obligated upon him to believe or fulfil, then such a person is referred to as a Mul'hid. But Il'haad is of two types: Major Il'haad and Minor Il-haad.
Complete Il'haad is to turn away from Islaam completely and that is Major Il'haad, which exits a person from the fold of Islaam, such as the Il'haad of the communists, the idol worshippers and those similar to them. Minor Il-haad does not exit a person from the Religion of Islaam, such as turning away from some deeds. Allaah [The Most High] said: [وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ -And whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong, him We shall cause to taste a painful torment."

In2Events were asked to re-tender for the Epson BETT Stand and were successful for the 5th consecutive year. The challenge was to make sure we kept coming up with unique designs that continued to evolve Epson's presence at the annual education expo.
The Mauritius Tourist Promotion Authority approached us to help resolve an issue they had had with a previous stand builder. We stepped in with two-weeks notice and built this stand for the World Travel Market. A great achievement from the team with such short notice.
We have worked with Epson for a number of years on their exhibition stands and for The Print Show we were asked to design and build a bespoke 8 x15m stand.
For the third consecutive year, In2Events were contracted by Capita to design, manage and build a 15mx17m island stand at the BETT Show 2017.
A long-standing events partner to Epson, we were contracted to design and build a bespoke stand for The BETT Education Show for the fourth consecutive year.
Held annually at ExCel, BETT is the world's largest education technology event attended by over 34,500 educators and decision makers from 130 countries.
In2Events were contracted by Epson UK for the third consecutive year to provide a full turnkey solution to design, manage and deliver an innovative bespoke exhibition stand for the BETT Education Show 2016.
Kyocera Document Solutions began their 2015 event year with In2Events in January exhibiting at The BETT Show at ExCel, in an upgraded position within the hall. Our task, to refresh their existing modular stand.

"Very funny," Isabel said, taking it from him. "I can't believe you actually performed that stunt again. As part of an official event. And roped Papa into doing it with you."
"Well, you know," Holloway said. "It's a good trick. And anyway, Papa is pretty much ruler of the fuzzys and I'm its Minister Plenipotentiary. It's not like we're going to get in trouble for it."
"Jack Holloway," Isabel said. "You always did know how to stay ahead of trouble. But it proves I was right right about you teaching Carl how to set off explosives." Isabel poked Holloway in the chest to make the point. about you teaching Carl how to set off explosives." Isabel poked Holloway in the chest to make the point.
"You finally caught me," Holloway said. "You win."
"It is a sweet victory," Isabel a.s.sured him.
"I'm sure it is," Holloway said. He looked around. "So where is your husband? He missed the fireworks."
"He's still on a conference call with Chad Bourne," Isabel said. "They're going around with that tourism group again about why its proposed jungle tour is a bad idea for anyone who doesn't like to get eaten."
"As long as the fuzzys get their cut of the tour fee, I'm perfectly happy to let tourists get consumed," Holloway said.
"It will cut down a bit on repeat business," Isabel said.
"Hey, I'm the idea guy," Holloway said. "Chad and Mark handle the details."
"Don't think I haven't noticed how you did that, by the way," Isabel said. "There's very little point in Mark and me being married if you keep him so busy that we never see each other."
"It's not just Mark who's busy, Dr. Isabel w.a.n.gai, Minister of Science and Exploration for the Nation of Fuzzy Peoples," Holloway said, employing her full t.i.tle.
"This is very true," Isabel said. "But at least my work is interesting. The work you have Mark doing is pure drudgery."
"Being Attorney General is not pure drudgery," Holloway said.
"It is the way you make him do it," Isabel said.
"Building a nation is not all parties and fireworks," Holloway said.
"Said the man at a party, setting off fireworks," Isabel said. "I have an idea. Why don't you, you, Mr. Minister Plenipotentiary, go get Mr. Minister Plenipotentiary, go get my my husband and drag him up to the party. So he might enjoy the fruits of his nation building. And then give him and me both a week off, so we might finally have our honeymoon. So he and I might enjoy the fruits of our marriage." husband and drag him up to the party. So he might enjoy the fruits of his nation building. And then give him and me both a week off, so we might finally have our honeymoon. So he and I might enjoy the fruits of our marriage."
"An excellent notion," Holloway said. "And for the honeymoon, I've heard that there might be a very nice jungle tour coming along."
"You first, Jack," Isabel said, and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Husband, please."
"On it," Holloway said. He headed off toward the roof exit, stopping only to extract two bottles of beer from a cooler.
Holloway found Sullivan in his office, formerly the office of Janice Meyer.
Holloway knocked on the open door. "Your wife sent me to retrieve you," he said. He walked into the office and handed Sullivan a beer.
Sullivan took it. "Good. I'm ready to be retrieved," he said. "Have I missed any thing important?"
"You missed the fireworks," Holloway said.
"I saw them out the window," he said. "Did you have Carl set them off?"
"Seemed fitting, since we changed the name of Aubreytown to Carlsburg," Holloway said.
"The universe's first planetary capital city named after a dog," Sullivan said. "We are truly a nation of firsts."
"To the Fuzzy Nation," Holloway said, raising his beer bottle.
"To the Fuzzy Nation," Sullivan said. The men clinked their bottles and drank.
"How did the jungle tour discussion go?" Holloway said.
"They settled down once Chad sent them some video of the zararaptors in action," Sullivan said. "Nothing like b.l.o.o.d.y predators to encourage introspection. Of course, a few minutes after we got off the call with them, one of them called up Chad and proposed a hunting tour instead."
"The entrepreneurial spirit is always restless," Holloway said.
"It's not always very smart, either," Sullivan said. "I'm tempted to let the hunting tour run, so long as it's only equipped with knives." Holloway grinned at this. "But I'm not actually concerned about the eco-tourists," Sullivan continued. "It's the mining companies who are bothering me."
"We've been pretty clear about it," Holloway said. "No commercial mineral exploitation of any kind for twenty years at least, and only minimal after that."
"There is always someone who thinks they're going to get around that," Sullivan said. "Particularly when it comes to sunstones. You know we've already caught a couple of freelance prospectors. They come down with the academics and then try to sneak off. One of them actually managed to liberate a skimmer and headed out to that seam you discovered, Jack."
"What did you do to him?" Holloway asked.
"It's not what we we did to him," Sullivan said. "We found an arm next to the skimmer." did to him," Sullivan said. "We found an arm next to the skimmer."
"That solves that," Holloway said.
"It's only going to get worse," Sullivan pointed out.
"I know," Holloway said. "Add it to the pile."
"What do you think, Jack?" Sullivan asked. "Is this worth all the trouble?"
"It beats the alternative," Holloway said. "For us and for the fuzzys."
The two men drank their beers in silence for a moment.
"Jack," Sullivan said. "You remember when I perjured myself at that preliminary hearing of yours. When I said I saw Chad talking to you."
"I remember it," Holloway said. "I remember thinking it probably took a lot out of you to do it."
"It did, and I still don't feel completely right about it," Sullivan said. "It's something that gnaws at me a little every time I think about it. You perjured yourself too, Jack, in the same way, at the same time. But I don't get the feeling it bothers you at all."
"It doesn't," Holloway said. "A while ago I said to you that sometimes it feels good to do the wrong thing. Well, this time it felt good to do the right thing. I just had to lie to get there first. We're lawyers, Mark. Lying is part of the skill set."
"Which reminds me," Sullivan said. "I've been reading your mail again."
"Somebody should," Holloway said. He took another drink of his beer.
"You'll be happy to know that you've been reinstated to the North Carolina Bar," Sullivan said. "In recognition of your work to make sure the fuzzys were recognized as sentient beings."
"It sounds so impressive when it's put that way," Holloway said. "I like it. It makes it sound like that was the plan all along."
"What was was the plan all along, Jack?" Sullivan asked. the plan all along, Jack?" Sullivan asked.
"I think I've made it clear that I never really had a plan, Mark," Holloway said.
"That's what you say," Sullivan said. "But I don't believe it. And I know you you don't. Look, Jack. Today you took part in founding a nation. In claiming an entire world for people who couldn't have done it for themselves. In keeping them safe from the people who would just as soon kill them to get what was in the ground under them. You don't do that without a plan. And you don't do it without knowing why you're doing it. So, just between you and me, Jack. Tell me why you did it." don't. Look, Jack. Today you took part in founding a nation. In claiming an entire world for people who couldn't have done it for themselves. In keeping them safe from the people who would just as soon kill them to get what was in the ground under them. You don't do that without a plan. And you don't do it without knowing why you're doing it. So, just between you and me, Jack. Tell me why you did it."
"At first I was doing it for myself," Holloway said, after a minute. "Because that's what I had always done, and it always seemed to work for me. Then later, I was doing it because I was curious to see what could happen, and how well that would work out for me. And then finally I was doing it because I knew what had had to happen, and I knew that I was the only one who could make it happen." to happen, and I knew that I was the only one who could make it happen."
"Why were you the only one who could make it happen?" Sullivan asked.
"Because Papa Fuzzy was wrong about me," Holloway said. "Papa Fuzzy said that I was a good man. I'm not, Mark. I'm selfish and unethical and I'm happy to lie and deceive to get what I want. You had a problem perjuring yourself. I did it without thinking twice.
"And that's what the fuzzys needed," Holloway said. "Don't get me wrong. They need good people like you and Isabel and Chad Bourne. They need the three of you more right now than they need me. But before you could help them, I had to get them to you. I was the only one who could. Because I'm the man who can hit a client to cause a mistrial. I'm the guy who can lie about his girlfriend in a corporate inquiry. I'm the guy who can make everyone think they they are the ones who really know why he's doing what he's doing, and in letting them think that, string them along until he has them where he wants them. are the ones who really know why he's doing what he's doing, and in letting them think that, string them along until he has them where he wants them.
"I'm not a good man, Mark," Holloway said. "But I was the right right man. And for this, that was enough." man. And for this, that was enough."
Sullivan looked at Holloway for a moment. Then he held out his beer bottle.
"To the right man, then," he said. "To you, Jack."
Holloway smiled, clinked his bottle with Sullivan's, and finished his beer.

Whether the asset disclosure order that accompanies a freezing order is an injunction for the purposes of leave to appeal under section 30(4) of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (Virgin Islands) Act.
This appeal arises from a dispute between Emmerson and Renova Industries Limited and other parties. Emmerson obtained a freezing order over some of the assets of one of those other parties, Renova Holding Ltd, alongside the usual order for disclosure of information in relation to those assets. Wallbank J then varied the disclosure order so that, pending Renova Holding Ltd's application to discharge the freezing order, the information could only be disclosed to, and had to be retained by, Emmerson's BVI lawyers. Emmerson appealed against this decision without seeking permission to appeal, on the basis that the disclosure order was an injunction and permission to appeal against an injunction is not required under the Act.

Q: How to create dynamic tables/fields in asp.net similar to phpMyAdmin I just wanna ask if there's a way in C#/ASP.NET to create 'dynamic' tables/fields similar to phpMyAdmin:

Any suggestions/comments?

A: Its not clear if you want code here or a tool.
If you want code then DDL (something that I suspect a surprisingly large number of people are not sufficiently aware) will do the job for you - I'm not sure if there are open source admin projects out there (there's this, but its way out of date: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asp-ent-man/) - ah, the MS one is one Codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/SqlWebAdmin - again not up to date, but it will almost certainly work.
If you're just after tools then you should probably be on serverfault (-: This isn't exactly what you want as it lives in IIS Manager but it may be of interest: http://www.iis.net/expand/DatabaseManager (the Web Platform Installer is your friend!)

A: You mean like the CREATE TABLE statement?
Just remember that most DDL statements like CREATE TABLE are RDBMS-specific (i.e. the one I linked to is for SQL Server, the one for MySQL is different as is the one for Oracle, etc).

A: SQL and ADO.NET. You pass create/update/delete scripts to the database. There are a lot of security precautions to take heed of.

A: How does PhpAdmin create DYNAMIC tables? To me it looks like it creates normal tables - like any admin tool.
Now, here is a hint:
* From C# you can submit any SQL statement you like, they are basically just text.
* Since the dawn of time, when your ancestors where still hunted by sabretoth tigers, SQL has what is called "DDL" - Data Definition Langauge. Stuff like "CREATE TABLE", "ALTER TABLE", "DROP TABLE".
* They are all properly documented in - the  documentation.
Sorry if that sonds a little snippish, but this is really really really basic SQL.

Q: Undefined index error while using $_FILES in PHP and JQuery I am building file upload using php and jquery, I made it without a submit button. But everything is working fine but only there is an error it shows me undefined index message.
This is my html code:

<form action='demo.php' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
   <input type='file' id='file' name='file'>
</form>

This is my jquery code:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#file').change(function(){
        var name = $('#file').attr('name');
        $.ajax({
            url: 'demo.php',
            type: 'POST',
            data: {'file':name},
            beforeSend: function(){
                $('#show').html('Loading...');
            },
            success: function(data){
                $('#show').html(data);
            }
        });
        return false
    });
});

This is my php code:
if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
    $file = $_FILES['file'];

    // File properties
    $file_name = $file['name'];
    $file_tmp = $file['tmp_name'];
    $file_size = $file['size'];
    $file_error = $file['error'];

    //Extension
    $file_ext = explode('.', $file_name);
    $file_ext = strtolower(end($file_ext));

    $allowed = array('jpg', 'png');

    if(in_array($file_ext, $allowed)){
        if($file_error === 0){
            if($file_size <= 2097152){
                $new_file = uniqid('', true) . '.' . $file_ext;
                $file_destination = 'uploads/' . $new_file;

                if(move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $file_destination)){
                    echo $file_destination;
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

I don't know what is the error and why it's coming.

A: You are not sending data to $_FILES, but to $_POST actually.
Note the data parameter in your $.ajax() call: data: {'file':name}

A: Instead of using the jQuery .ajax function, just have the form "submit
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#file').change(function(){
        $('form').submit();
        return false
    });
});

A: add following right after

// Disable errors completely
error_reporting(0);
This will help you to remove/ hide all error messages including fatal errors.
Alternatively you can use
// Report simple running errors
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
You can also view PHP Official documents for alternative options.
Viewing your problem in detail seems more identical like you are trying to upload file via Ajax. Please read a sample about this scenario on Simple File Upload Using jQuery.


Abstract: Electricity production from renewable sources generally displaces thermal generation, which leads to lower CO2 emissions in the power sector. However, the intermittent nature of many renewable technologies in combination with less residual demand leads to greater inefficiencies in the operation of existing fossil power plants. This inefficiency translates into a higher rate of emissions relative to output. In this paper we focus on Italian power installations between 2005 and 2014. Using panel econometrics, we show that a 10% increase in photovoltaics and wind infeed has reduced yearly CO2 emissions of the average thermal installation by about 2% while the average plants emissions relative to its output have increased by about 0.3%.


Food distribution companies in Costa Rica are one of the most dynamic sectors of industry in terms of customer base, product diversity, and quality demands which become higher by the second; thus, the sector is one of the most challenging but more promising at the same time.
For NAVSAT, it is greatly satisfying that the main food distribution companies in Costa Rica have chosen us as their ally to maximize the benefits of their operations. Particularly, in this market sector it is one of the companies that has gained most benefits by incorporating NAVSAT's solutions.
Enabling of temperature sensors, both in refrigeration chambers inside the trucks and in cold chambers in loading docks. This is complemented with a set of smart alerts that eases the monitoring of door opening times and variations in acceptable temperature ranges for each type of product.
Development of a massive data load and analysis of fuel consumption system. This eases the quick retrieval of relevant information for consumption trends, as well as comparative analysis of fuel efficiency and faulty driving of the personnel.
The benefits appeared from the very moment the company integrated NAVSAT's solutions. It obtained an improvement in the compliance of service policies through the acknowledgement of exact visit times to clients and the resulting adjustment in route design, which favored the acquisition of feasible commitments that have been reflected in the compliance of 95% of visits to their key accounts.
Out-of-range temperature taking was reduced in a %65 and it is possible now to take immediate actions as soon as it occurs which has had a direct impact in the reduction of product loss and returns from the clients.
Fuel consumption was reduced in a 10%, mainly due to the improvement of driving behavior from the personnel and to a more strict supervision on the efficiency and use of fuel loads authorized for each driver.

The Usos vs. the Hardys was a match almost everyone wanted to see but a match WWE didn't deliver at the biggest event of the year. Instead, the Hardy's were tossed into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal while the Usos successfully defended their SmackDown titles in a Fatal 4-Way matchup. Less than 48 hours later, WWE made up for the mistake and based on popular demand, offered the Hardy's vs. the Usos in a classic two-team tag match.
And, as the match went on, both teams delivered as most fans assumed they would. Two teams who are among the best in the business put on a show until ultimately, the Hardy's were able to land their finishing series and a Swanton Bomb by Jeff put the Usos away.
The fans were excited to see the new champs and hear what they had to say as they made their way to the middle of the ring for an interview. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by none other than Lars Sullivan who made his way down to the ring, and much like he did the night before on Raw, when he destroyed Kurt Angle, Sullivan took out the Hardy's and left them laying in the ring.
Having Sullivan target the Hardy's seems like a strange choice but what we should be able to determine from all of this is that WWE wants him to be a monster and taking out the new tag champs helps portray that image. What we can probably also assume is that the Usos will be making their way to Raw now that they are no longer the tag champions of the blue brand.


Vasudev Balwant Phadke ( pronunciation (help·info); 4 November 1845 – 17 February 1883) was an Indian independence activist and revolutionary who sought India's independence from British. Phadke was moved by the plight of the farmer community during British Raj. Phadke believed that Swaraj was the only remedy for their ills. With the help of the Koli, Bhil and Dhangar communities in Maharashtra, Vasudev formed a revolutionary group of Ramoshi. The group started an armed struggle to overthrow the British Raj. The group launched raids on rich English businessmen to obtain funds for their liberation struggle. Phadke came into limelight when he got control of the city of Pune for a few days when he caught the British soldiers off guard during one of his surprise attacks.
Phadke was born on 4 November 1845 in Shirdhon village of Panvel taluka based in Raigad district in Maharashtra state in a Chitpavan Brahmin family. As a child he preferred learning skills like wrestling, riding over high school education and dropped out of school. Eventually he moved to Pune and took the job as a clerk with military accounts department in Pune[full citation needed] for 15 years. Krantiveer Lahuji Vastad Salve a then prominent social figure based in Pune was his mentor. Salve, an expert wrestler, operated a TALIM (training center for wrestling). Salve preached the importance of independence from British Raj. Salve belonged to the Mang community, an untouchable community, taught Phadke the importance of getting backward castes into mainstream freedom movement. It was during this period that Phadke began attending lectures by Mahadeo Govind Ranade which mainly focused on how the British Raj policies hurt the Indian economy. Phadke was deeply hurt by how this was leading to widespread suffering in the society. In 1870, he joined a public agitation in Pune that was aimed at addressing people's grievances. Phadke founded an institution, the Aikya Vardhini Sabha, to educate the youth. While working as clerk, he was not able to see his dying mother due to the delay in approval of his leave. This incident enraged Phadke and happened to be the turning point in his life.
In 1860, along fellow social reformers and revolutionaries Laxman Narhar Indapurkar and Waman Prabhakar Bhave, Phadke co-founded the Poona Native Institution (PNI) which later went on to be renamed the Maharashtra Education Society (MES). Through the PNI, he went on set up Bhave School in Pune. Today, the MES runs over 77 institutions in various parts of Maharashtra.
In 1875, after the then Gaikwad ruler of Baroda was deposed by the British, Phadke launched protest speeches against the government. Severe famine coupled with the evident apathy of the British administration propelled him to tour the Deccan region, urging people to strive for a free republic. Unable to get support from the educated classes, he gathered a band of people from the Ramoshi caste. People from the Kolis, Bhils and Dhangars were also included later. He taught himself to shoot, ride and fence. He organised around 300 men into an insurgent group that aimed at liberating India from British rule. Phadke intended to build an army of own but lacking funds they decided to break into government treasuries. The first raid was done in a village called Dhamari in Shirur taluka in Pune district. The income tax which was collected for British Raj was kept in the house of local business man Mr. Balchand Fojmal Sankla. They attacked the house and took the money for the benefit of famine stricken villagers. There they collected about four hundred rupees but this led to his being branded as a dacoit. To save himself Phadke had to flee from village to village, sheltered by his sympathisers and well-wishers, mostly the lower class of the society. Impressed by his zeal and determination, the villagers of Nanagaum offered him protection and cover in the local forest. The general plot would be to cut off all the communications of British forces and then raid the treasury. The main purpose of these raids was to feed famine-affected farmer communities. Phadke performed many such raids in areas near Shirur and Khed talukas in Pune.
Meanwhile, the leader of Ramoshi, Daulatrav Naik, who was the main supporter of Phadke, headed towards the Konkan area on the western coast. On 10–11 May 1879, they raided Palaspe and Chikhali, looting around 1.5 lakh rupees. While returning towards Ghat Matha, Major Daniel attacked Naik, who was shot dead. His death was a setback to Phadke's revolt: the loss of support forced him to move south to the Shri Shaila Mallikarjun shrine. Later, Phadke recruited about 500 Rohilas to begin a fresh fight.
Phadke's plans to organize several simultaneous attacks against the British Raj nationwide were met with very limited success. He once had a direct engagement with the British army in the village of Ghanur, whereafter the government offered a bounty for his capture. Not to be outdone, Phadke in turned offered a bounty for the capture of the Governor of Bombay, announced a reward for the killing of each European, and issued other threats to the government. He then fled to Hyderabad State to recruit Rohilla and Arabs into his organisation. A British Major, Henry William Daniell and Abdul Haque, Police Commissioner to the Nizam of Hyderabad, pursued the fleeing Phadke day and night. The British move to offer a bounty for his capture met with success: someone betrayed Phadke, and he was captured in a temple after a fierce fight at the district of Kaladgi  on 20 July 1879 while he was on his way to Pandharpur.
From here he was taken to Pune for trial. Ganesh Vasudeo Joshi, also known as Sarvajanik Kaka, defended his case. Phadke and his comrades were housed in the district session court jail building, near Sangam bridge, which now happens to be the state C.I.D. building. His own diary provided evidence to have him sentenced for life. Phadke was transported to jail at Aden, but escaped from the prison by taking the door off from its hinges on 13 February 1883. But his escape was too short lived: he was recaptured and put back in prison. Phadke then went on a hunger strike unto death and died on 17 February 1883.
Phadke became known as the father of the Indian armed rebellion in that he provided the inspiration for fellow freedom fighters. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's patriotic novel Anand Math incorporated various contemporary acts of patriotism performed by Phadke during his freedom struggle. As the British government did not like this, Bankim had to print up to five editions of the book to tone down these stories.
In 1984, the Indian Postal Service issued a 50 paise stamp in honour of Phadke. A chowk in South Mumbai near Metro Cinema is named in his honour.
The Thanale-Khadsamble caves where Phadke took refuge to escape from British, are about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Nadsur village near Pali.
Vasudev Balawant Phadke, a Marathi movie directed by Gajendra Ahire, was released in December 2007.

Nancy Sarmento Barkhordari
JD Barrister & Solicitor
We represent a number of inmates who allege to have been abused in the federal and provincial prison system.
Inmate plaintiffs face various challenges when making claims against the provincial government. Statutory barriers make it difficult for plaintiffs who wish to conduct a claim alleging bad faith or conduct that is rooted in bad faith against Her Majesty the Queen in the Right of Ontario.
As lawyers, we help clients navigate plaintiffs through these barriers. Of course, we need to first understand why these barriers exist, and how they impact the life cycle of such claims.
What Is a Bad Faith Claim?
Conduct rooted in bad faith involves some element of knowledge and/or intent. If an individual commits an act with the knowledge or intent that it would hurt another individual, that would point towards bad faith.
Some examples of claims that are rooted in bad faith conduct include fraud, conversion, battery, as well as other intentional torts.
In the context of crown liability, many claims rooted in bad faith include misfeasance of public office or battery. Misfeasance of public office involves a misuse of the office or privileges of an office.
In contrast, battery often refers to physical assault. In the context of the prison system, a claim alleging battery on the part of a Correctional Officer against an inmate plaintiff is probably going to get flagged for bad faith.
These kinds of claims are often subject to statutory hurdles under the Ontario CPLA.
The Provincial CLPA
The CLPA is the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. The act regulates claims that may be brought against the Provincial Crown; the act touches on the liability and adjudication of claims against Her Majesty the Queen and the Right of Ontario and its agents in the court system.
Although no one is above the law – including the government – there are statutes that present certain hurdles when bringing a claim against the provincial government.
Section 17 of the CLPA authorizes the Ontario Crown to induce a stay of any action alleging bad faith. A stay of action essentially halts the claim. Once the action is stayed, it can can only proceed once leave to lift the stay is granted.
Essentially, plaintiffs who wish to maintain their claims alleging bad faith on the part of Ontario must file an Affidavit of Documents and evidence on a motion to have the stay lifted. To be successful in their motion, the plaintiff must establish that the action rooted in bad faith is likely to succeed. If the plaintiff is unsuccessful, the entire action — not just the provisions of the claim alleging bad faith — is stayed.
Simply put, this provision makes it far more onerous on plaintiffs who assert that the crown is liable for actions rooted in bad faith. The barrier can be expensive, risky, and time-consuming and may ultimately prolong the litigation process.
Access to Evidence
As with any other civil claim, Plaintiffs making civil claims against the provincial government must produce evidence that they were wronged and that the action resulted in damages.
Once the compiled evidence has been reviewed, the trier will determine on a balance of probabilities whether the plaintiff was wronged, how the plaintiff was wronged if they were, and how much in damages are due.
For some inmates alleging claims against the provincial government, the gathering of evidence in support of their claims can be challenging because a lot of the evidence that they need to help support their claims is not readily available to them.
In fact, for many cases, the necessary evidence is in the possession of the Crown, who has the power to redact certain records, and is in control of its own record keeping processes.
The challenges around evidence gathering can increase the complexity of dealing with a motion to lift a stay under section 17 of the CPLA.
As illustrated in this post, there is a lot of red tape in crown liability claims.
Having a skilled lawyer by your side can help you navigate some of the challenges inherent in the process of these claims.

Six cities vie to host the 2016 Democratic National Convention
By Rachel Kleinman
Six cities have submitted bids to host the 2016 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic National Committee, which organizes the quadrennial event, said in a statement Saturday. The cities are Birmingham, Cleveland, Columbus, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix.
Melissa Harris-Perry, 6/7/14, 1:15 PM ET
Who could be big endorsement name of 2016?
In 2008, Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama rang loud. Who would be the big name that Democrats would seek to make a pivotal endorsement in 2016?
Least surprising of the six contenders are Cleveland, Columbus – both situated within the nation's most pivotal swing state of Ohio – and Philadelphia, whose home state is considered a presidential prize with its 20 electoral votes. Birmingham is situated in the Deep South, which has long been a Republican stronghold, and the Alabama city has a large African-American population. Blacks voted in higher numbers than non-Hispanic whites in 2012 for the first time since the U.S. Census Bureau started keeping track of the numbers.
Similarly, Arizona's Spanish-speaking population is on the rise. Latino voters helped propel President Obama to re-election in 2012.
New York City appears to be the outlier among the six, due to New York state's consistently blue voting record.
"Hosting a party convention is a true honor and we're thrilled with all the fantastic options that we have going into the next cycle," Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in the statement, adding, "We look forward to evaluating these bids and selecting a city to host this special gathering of Democrats."
According to the statement, a committee will evaluate convention bids, and Wasserman will announce the final decision "in late 2014 or early 2015."
The 2012 Democratic National Convention took place in Charlotte, N.C. North Carolina was a closely contested state in the 2008 presidential election.

Giants think Mayhew will 'bring a lot to the table'
Indianapolis — After the Lions hired Matt Harriss away from the Giants, the Giants replaced him with former Lions general manager Martin Mayhew.
In his new role as director of football operations / special projects, Mayhew will help assistant GM Kevin Abrams on all aspects of the salary cap, including contract negotiations.
While the new job is a step down for Mayhew, who was the Lions' GM the past seven seasons, Giants GM Jerry Reese is excited to have someone with Mayhew's experience on his staff.
"We were able to hire Martin Mayhew, who is completely qualified to do any job in the front office," Reese said Thursday at the NFL combine. "We think he'll bring a lot to the table for us."
Meanwhile, Harriss had been the director of football operations for the Giants, but after 10 years with New York, he joined the Lions this year as vice president of football administration, a job in which he'll play a key role managing the salary cap.
"Matt Harriss is a guy who cut his teeth with us, young kid that came in and really did a tremendous job, and we're happy and proud for him that he's going over to the Lions," Reese said. "They really have a good employee with Matt. He'll do a tremendous job for the Lions."
Lions� Ebron on verge of watershed season


The Connecticut independent, who is retiring after this year warned that Washington was on "automatic pilot" as it neared the cliff, the combination of tax rate rises and automatic spending cuts economists warn can plunge the nation into a new recession.
"The country is, the government is on automatic pilot to the fiscal cliff, to massive tax increases and really to the horrible, uh, spending cuts on January 1st unless we act," said Lieberman. "So if Congress does nothing, which Congress has gotten pretty good at doing these days, uh, we'll go over the fiscal cliff.
"There's work to be done and compromises to be reached," he added.
Lawmakers and the White House will begin negotiations on a deficit-reduction deal to avoid the cliff, but the two parties have yet to bridge their gap over tax rates.
Some Republican lawmakers, led by Speaker John Boehner John Andrew Boehner20 years after Columbine, Dems bullish on gun reform Dem says marijuana banking bill will get House vote this spring Trump appears alongside Ocasio-Cortez on Time 100 list MORE (R-Ohio) have signaled openness to new revenues through closing loopholes and eliminating deductions, but have said they will oppose raising tax rates.
President Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress, though, are insisting on raising taxes on those families that make over $250,000 a year.
Also appearing on CNN with Lieberman, fellow Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said he believed that a short-term fix could be found in the lame-duck session, punting a more permanent solution to next year.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) expressed similar optimism that a framework for a larger deal would be in place by year's end.


The Fund Capped Contribution rules limit the amount that a super fund can accept in a single contribution. Super funds do not have to monitor contributions for excess concessional or non-concessional contributions throughout the year, but they do have to check that each individual contribution is less that the Fund Capped Contribution limit. For example, if a members non-concessional cap was $ 450,000, they could make three contributions during the year of $ 200,000 each, the fund could accept these contributions even though they total an amount over the contributions cap. However if the member made a single contribution of $ 500,000 the fund would not be able to accept all of the contribution – see ATO ID 2007/225.
How much are the Fund Capped Contributions?
What happens if a contribution exceeds the Fund Capped Contribution limit?
If a super fund receives a single contribution in excess of these amounts that amount must be repaid to the person/entity that made the contribution within "30 days of becoming aware that the amount was received in a manner that is inconsistent with subregulation[s]" – reg 7.04(4)a.
The ATO has also clarified that the super fund is only required to refund that amount of the contribution over the fund-capped limit. For example, if the members NCC cap was $ 450,000 and they made a contribution of $ 460,000 the fund would have to return the $ 10,000 over the fund capped amount, not the full contribution, see ATO ID 2008/90.
Given that the contributions would come from a member, and the duties of the trustees, the ATO appears to take the position that the 30 days start from the date the contribution is made for an SMSF, as opposed to 30 days from the date the members become aware that the contribution exceeded the Fund Capped Contribution limits. Per the ATOs publication Running a Self-managed Super Fund "your fund must return the excess amount within 30 days" .
Like many of these sections in the SISA/R, regulation 7.04 sets out a rule but doesn't describe what happens if the rule isn't followed. The ATO is of the view that the contribution must still be returned after the 30 days has passed – ATO ID 2009/29.
More examples of Fund Capped Contributions can be found on the ATOs website.
What is the fund capped contribution limit for 2015 for a SMSF member who turns 75 in June 2014. Under Reg 7.04 (1), they have until 28 July 2014 to make a non-concessional contribution. If the contribution is made in 2015 FY prior to 28 July, does the 2014/15 non-concessional contribution limit apply under reg 7.04 (3)?
As a member who is 74 or 75 would not have access to the three-year bring forward their fund-capped contribution limit would be the same as their non-concessional contributions cap. However with the 28 day limit from turning 75 in June that becomes more complicated.
Per the ATO, generally "contributions are counted towards the caps in the year in which they are received and credited by your super fund". Also see ATO TD 2013/22 for some situations where this may be different – but largely to do with contribution reserves/suspense accounts.
Unfortunately there is very little guidance about how other rules interact with the 28 day rule, especially where the member turns 75 during June. For example, how does the Work Test apply? Before implementing such a strategy advice should be sought from professionals specialised in the area, and also the ATO and super fund itself. It isn't only the many conditions that need to be met that is the issue, but also other parties' understanding of the rules – given the APRA guidance Superannuation Circular No. I.A.1 (PDF) to large super funds doesn't mention the 28 day rule for members turning 75 there could be an issue with funds accepting the contribution.
