Hello, Ahmed moosa!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Magog the Ogre| MUST STOP DRINKING AND SEE THE TRUTH OF MY FILES, AND NOT BE DRUNKEN: THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS HATED.THAT IS WHY THE QUR'AN SAYS: [74:49, 50, 51] “Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition (of the Qur’ân)? - as if they were affrighted asses, fleeing from a lion!”

Alcohol has been the scourge of human society since time immemorial. It continues to kill countless human lives, and causes terrible misery to millions throughout the world. Alcohol is the root cause of enormous problems facing society. The statistics of soaring crime rates, increasing instances of mental illnesses, and millions of broken homes throughout the world bear testimony to the destructive power of alcohol. 1. Prohibition of alcohol in the Qur’aan The Glorious Qur’aan prohibits the consumption of alcohol

“O Ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination – of satan’s handiwork; eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.”  Chap 5- verse: 90

2. Prohibition of alcohol in the Bible The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol as well: a. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” (Proverbs 20:1) b. “And be not drunk with wine.” (Ephesians 5:18) 3. Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centre All human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For instance, a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public, and therefore he uses the toilet. When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that a drunken person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance, the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate and defecate in their clothes when drunk. 4. Cases of adultery, rape, incest and AIDS are found more among alcoholics According to the National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) in the year 1996 alone, everyday an average 2, 713 rapes took place in America. The statistics prove that the majority of the rapists were intoxicated while committing the crime. According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved. One of the major factors associated with alcoholism is the spread of AIDS, the most dreaded disease of this century. 5. Every alcoholic was initially a social drinker Many may argue in favour of liquor by calling themselves ‘social drinkers’. They claim that they only have one or two drinks and they have self-control and so never get intoxicated. Investigations reveal that every alcoholic started as a social drinker. Not a single drunkard initially starts drinking with the intention of becoming a drunkard. No social drinker can say that I have been having alcohol for several years and that I have so much self-control that I have never been intoxicated even a single time. 6. If a person is intoxicated just once and commits something shameful, it will remain with him for a lifetime. Suppose a ‘social drinker’ loses his self-control just once and in a state of intoxication he commits rape or incest. Even if the act is later regretted, a normal human being is likely to carry the guilt throughout his life. Both the perpetrator and the victim are irreparably and irreversibly damaged. 7. Alcohol has prohibited by the Prophet of Islam a. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chap 30 Hadith No. 3371. “Alcohol is the mother of all evils and it is the most shameful of evils.” b. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chap 30 Hadith No. 3392- “Anything which intoxicates in a large quantity is prohibited even in a small quantity.” Thus there is no excuse for a nip or a tot. c. Not only those who drink alcohol are cursed, but also Allah curses those who deal with it directly and indirectly. According to Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chap 30 Hadith No. 3380 reported by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said: “God’s curse falls on ten groups of people who deal with alcohol. The one who distills it, the one for whom it has been distilled, the one who drinks it, the one who transports it, the one to whom it has been brought, the one whom serves it, the one who sells it, the one who utilizes money from it, the one who buys it and the one who buys it for someone else.” 8. Some of the Diseases associated with alcoholism There are dozens of scientific reasons for the prohibition of consumption of intoxicants (alcohol). The maximum number of deaths in the world related to any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people die every year only because of drinking alcohol. I need not go into the details of all the ill effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below is a list of just a few of the alcohol related illnesses: 1. Cirrhosis of Liver is the most common and well-known alcohol associated disease. Damage to the liver is irreversible. 2. Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc. 3. Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol consumption. 4. Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina and Heart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes. 5. Strokes, (even with moderate intake of alcohol) Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with alcohol intake. 6. Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known syndromes caused by alcohol consumption. 7. Wernicke – Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events, confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol intake. 8. Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. Even Pellagra occurs in alcoholics. 9. Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if treated in well-equipped centres. 10. Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome. 11. Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency, however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive’s syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia, Jaundice and Hyperlipaedemia that follows alcoholic binges. 12. Thrombocytopenia and other platelet abnormalities are not rare in alcoholics. 13. The commonly used tablet metronidazole (flagyl) interacts badly with alcohol. 14. Recurrent infection is very common among chronic alcoholics. The resistance to disease and the immunological defense system are compromised by alcohol intake. 15. Chest infections are notorious in alcoholics. Pneumonia, Lung Abscess, Emphysema and Pulmonary Tuberculosis are all common in alcoholics. 16. During acute alcoholic intoxication, the drunken person usually vomits; the cough reflexes that are protective are paralyzed. The vomitus thus easily passes to the lung causing Pneumonia or Lung Abscess. Occasionally it may even cause suffocation and death. 17. The ill effects of alcohol consumption on women deserve special mention. Females are more vulnerable to alcohol-related Cirrhosis than men. During pregnancy alcohol consumption has a severe detrimental effect on the foetus. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is being recognised more and more in the medical profession. 18. Skin diseases are also related to alcohol indulgence. 19. Eczema, Alopecia, Nail Dystrophy, Paronychia (infection around the nails) and Angular Stomatitis (inflammation of the angle of the mouth) are common diseases among alcoholics. 9. Alcoholism a ‘disease’? Medical doctors have now turned liberal towards alcoholics and call alcoholism a disease. 10. Alcohol is detrimental to a person’s health when flying in airplanes as has been recently discovered. So as can be understood, alcohol is a danger to human beings health in all aspects. If alcohol is a disease, then it is the only disease that: 1- Is sold in bottles! 2- Is advertised in newspapers, magazines, on radio and television! 3- Has licensed outlets to spread it! 4- Produces revenue for the government! 5- Brings violent deaths on the highways! 6- Destroys family life and increases crime! 7- Has no germs or viral cause! Alcoholism Is Not A Disease – It Is Satan’s Handiwork Islam is called the “Deen-ul-Fitrah” or the natural religion of man. All its injunctions are aimed at preserving the natural state of man. Alcohol is a deviation from this natural state, for the individual as well as for society. It degrades man to a level below that of the beasts he claims to be superior to. Hence the consumption of alcohol is prohibited in Islam. It was reported on Al-Jazeerah English Service News on the 16/6/2007 at 10.40 GMT: “43% of Russian men die at about 59 years of age due to excessive drinking”. That is nearly half of the population of men in Russia die disgracefully due to drinking this poison. In the fairly recent scientific study undertaken by Dr. ROD JACKSON, from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, published in the respected Medical Journal, The Lancet states: ‘Any benefit from light to moderate drinking is probably very small and unlikely to outweigh the harm caused by alcohol. Alcohol abuse harms almost every organ in the body, causing problems such as cirrhosis of the liver, pancreatitis, stomach bleeding, high blood pressure, stroke, nerve damage, osteoporosis and dementia. (W/End Argus- 3 /12 / 2005) After spending years in research and millions of dollars, Dr. Jackson reached the conclusion of what ALLAH has informed humankind in the Glorious Qur’aan through his last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) 1,400 years ago. In his book titled ‘The Trouble with Medicine’ Dr. Melvin Konner (published by the B.B.C. in London) states the following comment by Dr. Paul Oursler who is a senior resident doctor: “Unfortunately, a lot of what we do here has to do with people who have had a problem with alcoholism, drug abuse, smoking… We spend huge resources in order to take care of the acute problem, and yet we are pulling those resources away from Preventative Measures Which Would Really Work”.

 Allah has given the believers that preventative measure in just one verse of the Glorious Qur’aan in chap 5 verse 90.

“O Ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination – of satan’s handiwork; eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper”.
