Bill Gates: “The Corona Virus… is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.”


In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful




But multi-billionaire Gates, 64 – who donated £85 million to combat the virus last month – believes that despite the chaos, there is ‘a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens’.
In an open letter, entitled ‘What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?’, he wrote:
‘A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE’
“I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
“As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us.

1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should too.


1)  It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should too.

2)     If you don’t believe me, just ask Tom Hanks.
3)     2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another.  It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.




3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals.
If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.
4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick.
Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.
5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.


6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this.

It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.

‘OUR TRUE WORK’



7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do.
Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.
8) It is reminding us to keep our egos in check.
It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.
9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands.
We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self.
Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colours.
10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic.
We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.

11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning.

This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.
12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick.
It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.
13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease.
Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.



4) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a *great corrector*

It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.

Be More Productive: 18 Ways that Transform you


In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful



Before you read one more article on the most proficient method to be increasingly profitable recall this Be caring to yourself and your mix-ups.

 You can't hope to be progressively profitable medium-term You've likely gone through years developing your work propensities both great and terrible deliberately or subliminally and those won't quickly change.
 Little modifications can prompt all the more enduring changes yet those may require some serious energy and control. It looks extremely simple when you're perusing an efficiency article like this to believe it's simple to Be that as it may it's most certainly not I'm not composing this from a specialist perspective yet from a kindred laborer in the battle against diversion, So be patient and kind through the unpleasant fixes and attempt once more OK presently we're prepared.

The most effective method to Be More Productive



1. Make a sensible daily agenda.

Try not to overpower yourself. Plan for the day frequently falls flat since we make them excessively perplexing or the assignments are inconsistent. A few undertakings will take quite a while, others won't take whenever by any means. This makes an unbalance in the manner we disperse our time. What happens then is that our plan for the day at that point turns into a tarrying instrument. Truly, believe it or not. Since then we do the simple stuff, and afterward become truly occupied on the hard stuff.

Try not to lie, you've done that previously. So then you have to …



2. Set little objectives for the errands.

With each new task or task, the extension may appear to be excessively huge. Yet, when you start separating it and acknowledging what can be cultivated, you'll see how each part expands upon the other.

One of the simplest and most functional things you can do is to separate your showcasing undertaking or deliverable into littler objectives. What are the pieces and resources required? Who do you have to converse with first? Separate these pieces before setting courses of events, and after that gauge to what extent they'll take you to achieve. Understanding the extent of what's being asked, setting up the means and afterward assessing the time required will enable you to get a grip of what's being inquired. Some of the time what appears as though a major undertaking won't take much time by any stretch of the imagination, or the other way around.



3. Concentrate on each objective in turn.

How would you figure out what's significant? How does your association figure out what's significant?

Through OKRs? KPIs? Assimilation?

All things considered, whatever your organization's need is, you must execute. One approach to do this is through the 90-90-1 standard. It additionally works in case you're dealing with a group.
This is what you do: Commit the initial an hour and a half of your day for 90 days to the most significant errand. Proposed by HR master, Robin Sharma, it will center your needs before the day even truly gets moving.

It's likewise down to earth. It's not investing the majority of your energy consistently on one single thing.

You can likewise set up tasks to concentrate on this one objective and to ensure that it lines up with your general organization objectives.




4. Track your opportunity to distinguish designs.

Following your time, regardless of whether nobody is approaching you for it can enable you to comprehend your work propensities and the hour of the day when you complete work generally effectively. Following your time productively, comprehending what your tech propensities are, from when you browse your email to how regularly you check your preferred sites or online life can influence your workday in a major manner.

By re-orchestrating a portion of those things, you might have the option to accomplish more. Following your time for up to 14 days will enable you to see where you invest your energy, and will enable you to all the more likely gauge your objectives from #1 somewhat better whenever around. Whenever you're approached to rehash an errand, you'll have a superior feeling of the measure of time required.

You'll additionally see issue regions, where you will, in general, be less gainful, or distinguish certain planning peculiarities that you can work around, for example, week by week gatherings or arrangements or notwithstanding when that one colleague stops by to talk for a couple of minutes.

One strategy that may help is a shot diary. This is my preferred breakdown of how to get that going, total with images!



5. Discover a technique for assigning and following-up.

It's one thing to give your group undertakings and tasks; it's something else to ensure they complete the work and complete it. At that point passing it off for endorsements is another bit of the pie that you need to handle. Finding a dependable strategy for following your group's ventures will make your work increasingly productive. Cooperation devices and undertaking the executive's programming can help with this (more on this later), yet you additionally need to focus on utilizing apparatuses like this so you don't let down your kindred colleagues. However, your individual part is significant in this, as well. The more you update and catch up with following stages, it'll help your collaborators remain on track, as well.



6. Make a proactive dashboard.

I took this thought from Noah Kagan, the organizer of AppSumo. Basically, this is a quantifiable assignment list. In case you're seeing that a specific undertaking is largely affecting our business or is a vital assignment that you have to continue doing, at that point rundown out the occasions that you have to carry out that responsibility every week. The objective here is to record inputs, not simply results.

This is particularly valuable for advertisers. In the event that you realize you have to tweet or compose a specific number of LinkedIn posts, at that point you can list these out and ensure you do that number for the week. Here's a case of my proactive dashboard:





7. Make sense of your 2 pinnacle hours.

A few of us are morning individuals, a few of us are night owls. In any case, the cutting edge business condition doesn't generally accommodate that. Perhaps the workplace doesn't open until 9, however your pinnacle is from 5 am to 7 am. Actually, I discover high vitality levels when the vast majority are unwinding their day, around 4 pm to 7 pm and afterward after 8 pm. Frequently, I'll deliberately remove a portion of that time or calendar all the more less-key assignments during hours when I'm not as engaged. It's proposed that we should discover at any rate 2 hours every day to plunge into the harder key work, and leave different hours for gatherings or less critical errands.

You'll likewise distinguish designs and when you could take part in "profound work" or centered work for longer time frames. This is the idea from Georgetown teacher Cal Newport. Some work (like noting messages) is shallow, while others (like thinking of new battle ideas or extreme photograph altering) may require progressively engaged time or "profound work."




8. Pick one assignment and after that do it.

This is troublesome in light of the fact that occasionally our activities aren't a 30-moment or one hour work. It might take 8 hours or different days. What's the appropriate response at that point? Split it up into one errand and after that do that one assignment to its finish. In any case, to what extent should that be? Also, what's sensible? I think most about our days are broken into hour portions. Which at that point is extremely 45 to 50 minutes. We have gatherings that start on the hour or we take a lunch hour or we plan a require 60 minutes. Working reliably for 45 minutes on one thing bodes well, however, it is extremely troublesome.

The Pomodoro strategy proposes 25-moment squares of time, with short 5 moment breaks, trailed by longer breaks later on.

Pomodoro encourages you to dispose of interferences and causes you gauge to what extent a specific assignment will take you. Peruse increasingly about the Pomodoro system in this article.



9. Discard stuff and clean up.

Did you realize your physical condition impacts your work? Furthermore, I don't mean just in the event that you work in a "cool" office or not. Contingent upon your organization and your job in the organization, that is to a great extent out of your control. Be that as it may, you can control your workspace. It encourages you to be increasingly profitable when you don't need to chase and peck for whatever that missing thing is. You'll spare time by not doing that. You'll additionally get greater lucidity and center for your jobs needing to be done. Look at more tips here.



10. Discover time to walk/exercise and pray.

I've worked in office parks, in a downtown business locale, and from home. Furthermore, in each spot, I attempt to discover time to stroll at any rate once every day. That could be around the parking area, down the road, or in the recreation center, and it's more invigorating than anything via web-based networking media.

This isn't tied in with remaining fit as a fiddle or getting in shape, not that those are terrible things. In any case, exercise can enable you to be increasingly profitable in light of the fact that it expands your readiness. Since it expands your blood flow and cardiovascular well being, you'll be less on edge, increasingly engaged and progressively equipped for managing pressure.



11. Stop and reflect.

When you're in charge of getting numerous tasks out the entryway, you need to make a stride back and see what's working, what's not, what should be organized and what should be changed. Working so as to audit isn't sitting around idly, however, it improves your work pushing ahead. For additional on post-venture reflection, look at this post.



12. Keep the 2 pizza rules for gatherings.

Gatherings certainly can hinder energy, particularly when there's a colossal horde of 30 individuals to "conceptualize." We know how that goes. Similar individuals who consistently talk will talk. The quiet ones will remain quiet.

On the off chance that you hypothetically need to arrange multiple pizzas to bolster the group you're meeting with, at that point it's too huge. There won't be sufficient talk. Insufficient thoughts will be communicated. Rather on the off chance that you have a group comprised of just individuals who might eat two pizzas, increasingly dynamic thoughts will develop. More individuals don't really approach better thoughts or quicker activity. It backs things off extensively.

Individuals are less intrigued and feel less by and by mindful if the thought slows down and stagnates. The responsibility is lost.



13. Gathering comparative assignments together.

When we switch between undertakings, we normally make erosion. Beginning and halting. Opening and shutting. Starting and completion. Those little minutes include and break our fixation. At that point, we get diverted and overlook why we even were evaluating something in any case. Yet, the best approach to eliminate exchanging between undertakings is to amass comparable ones. Try not to react to only one email and after that proceed onward. React to every one of them and afterward don't return until a few hours after the fact. Or on the other hand clump the majority of your messages together. What's more, on that note…



14. Stop performing various tasks.

Since the exchanging is making us increasingly drained. It's taking up cerebrum vitality to switch and change that frequently. We aren't by and large increasingly profitable, we're skimming over the outside of things. The cutting edge work environment condition won't bolster you in your mission to be increasingly engaged it's practically an unimaginable errand when Slack, Skype, and Salesforce are moving for our consideration.

Here's a statement from a more credentialed individual than me. A neuroscience conduct teacher Daniel Levitin at McGill says: "That exchanging accompanies a natural cost that winds up making us feel tired considerably more rapidly than if we continue consideration on a certain something." And you know what else? Caffeine won't really support us. Truth be told, we most likely simply need to take a break for a little while. Once more, Professor Levitin: "Individuals eat more, they take more caffeine. Frequently what you truly need at that time isn't caffeine, however only a break. On the off chance that you aren't taking normal breaks each couple of hours, your cerebrum won't profit by that some espresso."

Ouch. Try not to tell my most loved barista.

To truly stop performing various tasks, you may require applications to square you from clicking over. This will keep the diversions under control, particularly for us consistent shoppers.



15. Be responsible to someone else.

For those that work in groups, this appears glaringly evident. Utilizing a computerized undertaking the executive's framework will tell you of the following errand when it's done. Be that as it may, you may require responsibility on ordinary undertakings as well. Like on the off chance that you achieved the objectives in your proactive dashboard (see #… ), or invested another energy in key conceptualizing or setting up battles. In any case, discover somebody you believe that will bolster you and not beat you up for your disappointment. You need an encourager. This could be your boss, yet more than likely it's an association that can enable you to remain on track. Furthermore, perhaps you can help them too.




16. Request help on stuff you don't get it.

In case you're prideful (like me!), you don't care to request help on things you have an inclination that you ought to have the option to do. This shows itself in my life by taking excessively long attempting to arrange an Excel sheet or make the ideal Powerpoint introduction. Rather, savvy individuals request help. Furthermore, they're really seen by their partners as being more astute. Also, this could spare you huge amounts of time over the long haul. Indeed, it might be troublesome from the start to inadequate out a couple of additional minutes to a great extent to watch a video or call a helpline, however, at last, it'll help you be progressively productive with those undertakings.



17. Get daylight.

As per ongoing efficiency ponders, you'll support your profitability and readiness with progressively common light. For what reason do you think workplaces with windows are in such extreme interest? It additionally influences the planning of the circadian clock which at that point impacts your alertness and weariness.

I used to work in places of business where I likewise wound up in the center of the floor or stuck in a gathering room with no window. In addition, where I live it would get dull from the get-go in the wintertime, including the last piece of the working day. Not great. What would I be able to do? I purchased a lightbox to carry an additional gleam to my workspace. Attempt it in case you're in a comparable position.



18. Take a gander at cuddly creature pictures(?)

This is kinda insane and you may not trust it, however sharing and taking a gander at pictures of charming creature pictures really builds abilities to focus. Try not to trust me? This is bad-to-the-bone science. In the event that you have an issue with this, at that point you have an issue with science itself (j/k). Yet, for genuine, a Japanese report estimated execution in the wake of taking a gander at adorable creatures. Truly, they really did this.

Here's a statement from the examination: "Results demonstrate that members performed assignments requiring centered consideration all the more cautiously in the wake of survey adorable pictures."

Would you be able to trust it? Here this will support you:

Qur'an (Light of the Heaven)



In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful




An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky with his young grandson.

Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur'an.
His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, 

"Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. 

What good does reading the Qur'an do
?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, But all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.
The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home.
Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; 

I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. 

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!" 

"So you think it is useless?"
The old man said, "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different.
It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
"Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an.
You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be Changed, inside and out.

That is the work of Allah (swt) in our lives."

Prophet Muhammad ( ) says:

"The one who guides to good will be reward equally"

Allah humma salli ala muhammad wa-ala aa li muhammad kama sallayta ala Ibraaheem wa ala aali Ibraheem inna ka hameedum majeed.

Allahhumma barik ala muhammad wa ala aali muhammad kamaa baarakta alaa Ibraaheem wa alaa aali Ibraheem inna ka hameedum majeed.

Rabbanaa aatinaa fiddunya hasanah wa fil aakhirati hasanah wa qinaa adhaaban naar.

Rabighfirlee wa li waalidayyaa wa lil mu'mineena wal mu'minaati, yauma yaqoomul hisaab.
Ameen.
