Surah At-Talaq (The Divorce)
This Surah was revealed in Madinah, and it has 12 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

Allah is the One who has created seven skies, and their like from earth... 65:12

COMMENTARY: Where are the Seven Earths and in What Form? This verse indicates that there are seven earths as there are seven heavens, but the question is where these earths are and in what shape or form. Are they in the form of seven layers one above the other, or each earth is separate from the other. If they form layers one above the other, is there a distance between two earths, just as there is a distance between two heavens? Are there separate creatures living on each earth, just as separate types of angels are residing in every heaven? Is there air, wind, atmosphere and so forth on each earth? Or, are these layers of earth joined and compact with each other? The Qur'an is silent on these questions.

There are Traditions reported on these questions, but the leading authorities of Traditions disagree about their authenticity. Some scholars have authenticated them and others have graded them as 'fabricated'. Rationally all findings are possible, and none of our religious or mundane needs are dependent on resolving these issues, nor will we be questioned about them in the grave or at Resurrection. We need to do research about the seven earths, their locale or their inhabitants. The safest position is to believe that there are seven earths as there are seven skies. Allah has created them with His Supreme Creative Power. Qur'an has mentioned this much only. This commentary has been written for the common readers. Purely academic issues have not been included here which might not be needed for them.

LOST MY WAY

The pain, the love,
The joy, the tears,
Everything we fear,
The way we are, The choices we make,
Evaluating their state,
Looking to place the blame,
Not accepting, we are here for a purpose,
Living beautiful lies,
Can't find reason's why,
The reason's we try to find a place we belong,
Running to write the wrongs,
Quick to find the flaws in others,
With 1 hand we point their mistakes,
Not to think what has brought them to the edge,
Read a thousand Allah (S.W.T) is great,
Our lips will move fast, yet our heart's not in it,
Today, I’m starting with the man in the mirror,
The biggest enemy is myself,
Have faith and fear, allow yourself to be lead,
The greatest mercy to mankind, The Grace of Allah (S.W.T).

Regards,

Adnaan Kola

CHOCOLATE CREAM AND MINT SWISS ROLL
(Makes 1 large cake)
INGREDIANTS
4 extra large eggs, separated. 125 ml castor sugar (105 g). 60 ml Snowflake self-raising flour (35 g). 60 ml cocoa powder (25 g). Castor sugar for rolling.

METHOD
Beat egg yolks and castor sugar until light and pale. Sift flour and cocoa powder and add to egg mixture, beating well. Beat egg whites until soft-peak stage and fold in with a metal spoon. Spread in a lined and greased 23 cm x 32 cm Swiss roll tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 10–12 minutes. Remove from oven and leave to cool slightly. Turn out onto a clean, dry tea towel sprinkled well with castor sugar. Trim edges to ensure rolling without breaking. Remove paper carefully and roll it up with the sugared cloth.

For filling
Beat cream and sugar until thickened. Spread over the Swiss roll and sprinkle peppermint crisp over it. Roll up.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

As an assistant high-school track coach, I recorded the results of each home meet and made copies for all the coaches. But because our track shed did not have electricity, I had to use carbon paper. A freshman team member offered to help, and I showed her how to place the carbon paper shiny side down so that the image would transfer to the sheet beneath it. "What will they think of next?" she said in astonishment. "Pretty soon we won't need copy machines anymore."
