MUSLIM STUDENT HERAA HASMI

HERAA HASMI 

Heraa Hashmi (born August 25, 1997) is an Indian American Muslim author and activist known as the creator of the Muslims Condemn list which collects instances of Muslims speaking out against bad actions "done falsely in the name of Islam".Responding to criticism online, Hashmi, then a 19-year-old student at the university of Colorado, created a 712-page online spreadsheet with specific examples of Muslims condemning terrorist actions. As of November 2018, the spreadsheet had over 6000 entries and was still available and editable online. With the help of Nigerian developers Ire Aderinokun and Timi Ajiboye, she turned it into a website, Muslims Condemn. The website won her the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research's Muhammad Ali Confident Muslim Award in 2017. It is now being integrated into The Bridge Project, a Georgetown initiative to combat Islamophobia.

Hashmi sees her faith as complementary to her activism stating ""Social justice is a huge part of being a Muslim, but it also doesn't affect the actions I have to take as a Muslim, when it comes to prayer and fasting and going to the pilgrimage."

Hashmi has also been involved in organizing real-life events. These include a 200-person protest at the Denver International Airport following the signing of an executive order by Donald Trump banning citizens of seven primarily Muslim countries from entering the United States, as well as a silent walkout when Ann Coulter came to speak on campus and an interfaith Walk for Unity. In 2017 she was the co-president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Colorado in Boulder where she studies molecular biology. She is also a contributor for Traversing Tradition, a blog run by a group of young Muslims that strives to provide varied perspectives on modern society through the lenses of Islamic theology, Eastern and Western philosophy, and historical analysis.

Hasmhi grew up in Superior Colorado. She was born in Bihar, India. Her parents are of Indian descent. She wrote and published three novels, The Liars, Blind to Me, and Crimson Ruins, while she was still a student in high school.

CONCLUSION

From the heraa story that fights for the religion of Islam is a commendable thing that we can emulate. As a generation we must also try to remain steadfast in the way of Allah.

Where Does Money Come From?

          

         Adam had been given a new money box for his birthday. As he put his first coin into it, he asked,"When did people start using money?" "I don't know, but it was probably a very long time ago,"said Adam's dad. " Let's look it up on the Internet after breakfast."

         They were sitting in front of the computer when Adam's dad asked, "What do you think they used for money a long time ago?" "Maybe paper and metal,"said Adam. Finally the search page for the Internet came up on screen. Adam's dad typed in the words "history of money".

         "Here we are," said Adam's dad. "It says that in China cowrie shells were used as a from of money. They were used more than three thousand years ago. Later, the Chinese made metal versions of the cowrie shell. It is believed that other cultures used objects made from metal as well. They were often in the shape of things that were used every day."

          Adam contined reading. The first coins were made in Lydia more than 2500 years ago. They were made from a mix of silver and gold. They had designs on them and looked like beans. Over time the design and shape of coins developed into what we use today. 

            As people began to trade, the use of coins developed and spread. Other metals, such as bronze and gold, were also used.Early coins have famous people, animals and buildings on them. These coins have helped us learn about the history of ancient cultures.

           " Look here " said,Adam's dad. "All these cultures used diffirent things as a form of money. Ancient Greerks used iron nails before coins. Some African countries even used salt. What do you think about that?" Adam could not imagine people carrying those kinds of things around to go shopping! 

       " What about bank notes Dad ?"asked Adam. "Where did they come from?" "I think China"replied his dad, " but let's look it up to make sure." His dad was right. Pleces of white leather were first used as bank notes. The Chinese decorated them with beautiful colors and used them to buy goods.

              Some time before the tenth century, the Chinese started using paper money. This was first true form of the book notes that we use today. The Chinese stopped using this money in the fifteenth century. Several centuries later, paper money began to be used in Europe.

          "Is money the same in every country?" asked Adam, "No,"said his dad. "Most countries use money, but their coins and bank notes book different. They are different colors and sizes, and have different names. We still use pictures of animals, flowers, buildings and famous people to decorate our money" "Just like to ancient times," said Adam .

              "Today we also use new forms of money, like credit cards and bank cards," said Adam's said. "We use these instead of coins and bank notes." "I wonder that money will look like in the future!" said Adam. "Maybe we will only use cards and electronic forms on computers," replied his dad.
