Honorable principal guest teachers and
Honorable principal guest teachers and my dear fellow good morning and aok.
Today is a day which holds special position in our life as today settians are paying their tribute to the voice which is still resounding in our minds and that is surely the voice of karbala.
The events of Karbala reflect the collision of the good the evil, the virtuous versus the wicked, and the collision of Imam Hussain (the head of virtue) versus Yazid (the head of impiety). Imam Hussain (pbuh) was a revolutionary person, a righteous man, the religious authority, the Imam of Muslim Ummah (nation). As the representative of his grandfather Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Imam Hussain's main concern was to safeguard and protect Islam and guide fellow Muslims. On the other hand, the staying power of the rulers (Muawiya and his son Yazid) depended solely on the might of the sword. They used brute force to rule over the Muslim empire even by all possible illicit means.
Hussain is a candle of light who glows in day and night
Oh hussain you have brought light in dark lifes
The mission of Imam Hussain (pbuh) is distinctly unique, political and religious revolutionary movement in the history of World. His was a tremendous undertaking which still reverberates throughout the Muslim nation. He has been a propelling force and a seminal element in events throughout Islamic history). Imam Hussain's example has remained vividly alive for generations and centuries. His uprising, movement and ideals still have a deep impact on the conscience and awareness of the Muslim empire.
Karbala proved to be a clash involving Islamic truths versus falsehood, belief versus disbelief, and the oppressed versus the oppressor, faith against brute force.., Eventually hussain was martyred along with his sons, most of his household and all of his companions. The bodies were mutilated and their heads were carried from Karbala, to Kufa and finally Damascus. His womenfolk were taken prisoners and marched across the desert.

    One of Collins’ main goals when teaching Romeo and Juliet, which he expresses early in the article, is for his students to gain confidence in their ability to read and interpret plays. He quickly realized that many of his college students shared the misconception that Shakespeare intended to idealize the lovers’ decision to take their lives for each other. To draw his students away from this idea, Collins tries to get them to consider Romeo’s extreme readiness for death. Juliet, like most people, views death as the only option remaining, whereas Romeo, throughout the play, continually proclaims that he will die for her. This shockingly different view of the play sparked interest among his students. He then asks his students to consider if the…

    The Schoolteacher's Guest tells the story of Ines, a retired schoolteacher who runs the first hotel in the town, Agua Santa. Her son had previously been killed and his murderer had fled. Years later the murderer returns. Ines kills him and confesses to her best friend Riad Halabi. They bury the body and the whole community help to keep it a secret. It is set in Latin America. The town is described as being quiet, uneventful and cut off from the mainstream of activity; an 'insignificant backwater'. The community is depicted as being friendly, characters 'waving, as usual.' The climate is hot as 'the hour of the mosquitoes' is mentioned in the story and mosquitoes are limited to warm climates. We also are told it is 'on the edge of the jungle.' The community in this story is very close and they look out for each other. People respect each other and 'secrets are kept by good neighbors.' How much respect you have in the community is not defined by how much money you have or how important your job is. In the story Ines is described as 'mightier than that of the priest, the doctor, or the police.' The structure of this story has a huge effect on how well the story achieves its presentation of the community and other parts in this story. The story starts with a shock but the opening becomes less distressing as the story is explained. Also the way the story moves around in time means the story has more of an impact. The way that the events are set out means at first the story is shocking but then The Schoolteacher's Guest, characters are shocked by the death but it does not seem overly significant. Ines was more concerned with 'calculating that it would take at least two days to wash out the stains and at least two more to rid the room of its odor.' Also the stories show how much 'authority' certain people have and whether this is affected by the expectations of society. The writer seemed to be focused on history and culture of theirsociety and also how females are…

    The first century from the inception of Islam, 622 CE – 719 CE, was marked by little political discord and social division as the community of believers constituted a non-Muslim group which drew on theists of various faiths and denominations beforehand. At the end of that century, the Islamic faith began to take on the form of its own distinct group. The period prior to the reign of Abd al-Malik, 685 CE -705 CE, was a tolerant and accepting model of the Islamic faith. Although, there is lack of historical evidence on the one hand and counter-arguments made in favor of a divisive and aggressive model of political discord and social division from the very inception of the Islamic religion. Evidence presented for the former view relies on the mention in the Quran, suggesting a diverse community in which Jews and Christians lived alongside Muslims.…

    Student learning and ways to involve them and their parents more in their learning has remained a challenge for educators. An exploration for increasing student learning and accountability has led educators to include students in the conference process. A way of including students in their academic performance and allowing them an opportunity to directly assess their classroom work has brought about a change from traditional parent-teacher conferences to student-led conferences (Borba and Olvera, 2001). As Borba and Olvera (2001) stated, “student-led conferences motivate students to think about and act on personal initiatives to improve learning” (p. 333).…
