The psychological effect of saying "Allah"

Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands, announced his new
discovery about the effect of reading the Qur'aan and repeating the
word ALLAH both on patients and on normal persons. The Dutch professor
confirms his discovery with studies and research applied on many
patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were
non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to pronounce
the word "ALLAH" clearly; the result was great, particularly on those
who suffer from dejection and tension.

Al Watan, a Saudi daily reported that the psychologist was quoted to
say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Quran regularly
could protect themselves from psychological diseases.

The psychologist explained how each letter in the word "ALLAH" affects
healing of psychological diseases. He pointed out in his research that
pronouncing the first letter in the word "ALLAH" which is the letter
(A), released from the respiratory system, controls breathing. He
added that pronouncing the velar consonant (L) in the Arabic way, with
the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the jaw producing a
short pause and then repeating the same pause constantly, relaxes the
aspiration.

Also, pronouncing the last letter which is the letter (H) makes a
contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this contact
controls the heartbeat. What is exciting in the study is that this
psychologist is a non-Muslim, but interested in Islamic sciences and
searching for the secrets of the Holy Quran.

How's that?

The wife was very unhappy with her car's performance and complained a lot all the time.
Knowing her birthday was coming up shortly, she said to her husband... 'Buy me a surprise for my birthday . Something that accelerates from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds! And I would prefer a blue one!'

Happy and excited she was counting the days to her birthday.

And on the day she finally got the beautiful present her husband thoughtfully bought....

How Little Boys are Born...

A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?"

The father answers: "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find
out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on
Yahoo. Then I set up a date ia e-mail with your Mom and we met at a
cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother
agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to
upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and
since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a
little Pop-Up appeared that said:

Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter

A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop and helping itself to crisps.

The bird walks into the RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen when the door is open and makes off with cheese Doritos.

The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.

Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: "Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps."

The bird first swooped in Aberdeen's Castlegate earlier this month and made off with the 55p crisps, and is now a regular.

Once outside, the crisps are ripped open and the seagull is joined by other birds.

'Fine art'

Mr Nagarajan said: "He's got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I'm standing behind the till, then he raids the place.

"At first I didn't believe a seagull was capable of stealing crisps. But I saw it with my own eyes and I was surprised. He's very good at it.

"He's becoming a bit of a celebrity. Seagulls are usually not that popular but Sam is a star because he's so funny."

A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said: "I've never heard of anything like this before.

"Perhaps it tried some crisps in a shiny packet in the street, and was just opportunistic one day at the shop when it saw what was inside.

"As everyone knows, gulls can be very quick and fearless, and clearly this one is no exception."

He added: "We'd discourage people from feeding gulls though, as gulls in towns generate lots of complaints every year, and the availability of food is the only reason they live in urban settings."

17 Things That It Took Me 50 Years To Learn

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. You should not confuse your career with your life.

5. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

6. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

7. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

8. Never lick a steak knife.

9. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

10. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

11. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

12. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

13. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

14. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

15. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

16. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.) “Very True”

17. Your friends love you anyway.

Don't die before you cancel your credit cards!!

Be sure & cancel credit cards before you die. This is so priceless, & so easy to see happening, Customer Service being what it is today.

A lady died this past January, & Citibank billed her for February & March for their annual service charges on her credit card, & added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call
to Citibank.

Here's the exchange:

Family Member: "I am calling to tell you she died in January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed & the Late Fees and Charges still apply!!

Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."

Citibank: "Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been."

Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"

Citibank: "Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"
(I really liked this part!!!!)

Citibank: "Excuse Me?"

Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?"

Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor." (Duh!)
Supervisor gets on the phone:

Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed, late fees & charges still apply."
(This must be a phrase taught by the bank!)

Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"

Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"

Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew."

Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Family Member: "Sure" (fax number is given)
After they get the fax:

Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help."

Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care."

Citibank: "Well, the late fees & charges do still apply." (What is wrong with these people?!?)

Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"

Citibank: "That might help."

Family Member: " Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 69."

Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Family Member: "What do you do with dead people on YOUR planet?
(Priceless!!) <<...>>

Starbucks quality standard going down

Every person wants to get the best service from any one or place etc, but the quality, effectiveness and efficiency are the high priority. You won’t come back again if the standard goes down.

Starbucks café at Muscat City Centre got blown down with the quality of their product by trying to handle maximum number of customers, specially on a weekend and Ramadhan season.

Read my post ‘Starbucks can’t handle the peak’ at Oman Community Blog.
