Glowing Sajadah When Facing the Qiblah


Wherever Muslims to practice prayer, the Ka’bah in Mecca is the reference point of the earth into the direction of Qiblah.


Determination of Qiblah certainly not be a problem for those who were near the Ka'bah. But what about if the Muslims were in a unknown direction of Mecca exactly where?

A number of ways can be used to determine the direction of Qiblah them with a compass or the sun. But now, there is a unique discovery that could facilitate the Muslims when praying and praying.

A researcher from Turkey called Soner Ozenc, managed to create a technology that can facilitate Muslims to determine the direction of Qiblah, the prayer rugs that can glow when it is in the right direction of Qiblah.


This unique Sajadah named El Sajjadah, made of neoprene material that is able to fit a pattern designed luminous image that is the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. As quoted from the official website of fundraising, Kickstarter.com, El Sajjadah is the abbreviation of 'Electro Lights', 'Prayer Mat' and 'rug' which means prayer mat is thin and flexible and can ignite when it leads to Qiblah.

According Ozenc, prayer rug has a digital compass that can determine the direction of Qiblah and provide information to users. Moreover, prayer is also equipped with a button that can close the light at the sejadah.

El Sajjadah is very suitable for Muslim travelers, but because the material is thin and can be rolled up to a small, prayer mats this one also has motives that are not outdated.

My First Experience Remove Shortcut Virus Using Shortcut Virus Remover Tools

Assalamualaikum

Nowadays, many in the computer users always face the problem of viruses, especially virus shortcut, so the first entries in my blog I will share my first experience on how to get rid of the virus shortcut, hopefully it can help.

Types


Shortcut virus has two variations, the most common is Flash drive Shortcut virus, then the File and Folder Shortcut virus.

1) File and Folder Shortcut Virus

  
Retrieved from: http://www.tecgalaxy.net/

This shortcut virus replicates your files and folders, hide and replace it with shortcuts.exe. This is a combination of Trojan and Worm. The bad thing about this shortcut virus, it will leave you no options but to click it in order to open your files and folders. Then after executing it, the virus starts to duplicate itself and install malicious software that monitors your computing habit and worst, steal your important data and credit card information.

2) Flash Drive Shortcut Virus

Retrieved from: http://www.techchore.com/category/shortcut-virus/

This is purely Trojan, it consolidates every file in your portable devices and put it into one hidden folder. Then, it creates a Flash Disk shortcut.exe. Like the file and a folder shortcut virus, it will give you no choices but to click it to see your files. Once executed, it installs malicious applications that spy your computing routine and most probably steal your financial records if not detected.

Unfortunately, not all antivirus can detect shortcut virus. So, the best thing you can do, is to make-it-a-habit not to open your portable devices or hard drive via autorun or from “my computer”. Here’s the complete Shortcut virus First Aide to do lists:

  • Do not open your Flash Drive via autorun and from My Computer.
  • Open your Flash Drive and Hard Disk by right-clicking it, then click explore or type its drive letter in the windows address bar to prevent any script from running.
  • Follow the instruction here how to unhide Files hidden by the virus, to see the real files which are hidden by shortcut virus and to avoid executing it.

The above steps are designed to prevent shortcut virus from infecting your computer. It will also help you distinguish the real file from the virus-made files. As what I have said earlier, even prominent antivirus failed to catch shortcut virus. Nonetheless, I will be sharing you method to remove it, follow the guide below:

How to remove shortcut virus using shortcut virus remover tools?
Download these two tools, namely: Trojorm Removal Tool and Shortcut virus fixfolder

Now, after downloading the shortcut virus remover tools above, extract it using winrar or any other file decompressor. Then run the “Trojorm Removal tool” first, make sure that you run it inside your flash drive, wait until the scan is complete and press enter. Next, copy the Shortcut Virus fix folder, paste it inside your flash drive or external drive. Then, open it via right-click, choose “open with” and select “notepad”. Look for the H:, change it according to your Flash Drive’s letter (ex. E:, F:, G: and so on).

When you are done editing, save it. Now double click the vbs file or open it via right-click, choose “Windows Based Script Host. After running the script, shortcut virus must be gone and your files are now visible.



What the consequences it bring you?

Can you imagine our life without the technology?

Millions of jobs have been created by IT, and hence, today, it is essential for everyone to understand what information technology is, and how it plays a vital role in every aspect of modern-day life.  IT has made it possible for businesses to be open 24 x7 all over the globe.

From my point of view, with the urge of technology development, our society is more enjoying themselves, they lack of interaction, the love playing video game, social media, chatting and sometime if you can see, "almost" not everyone in this world, if they are hanging out with friend or co-workers some of them is more enjoying checking up their phone than having a conversation, though this information technology may have made communication quicker, easier and more convenient, it has also bought along privacy issues. From cell phone signal interceptions to email hacking, people are now worried about their once private information becoming public knowledge. So what say you?
