Our prophet and our duty...

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a 'Mercy' to the whole world (Rahmathullil Aalameen). Muslims are the followers of that great 'Mercy' and they are fortunate to be his Ummath for the betterment of this life and life hereafter. He is the final messenger and "seal of prophets", whom Allah sent for the guidance of the whole mankind. 

While he was very strong in upholding and propagating the oneness of Allah as per His commandment, he was very soft in dealing with all affairs of lives of the people in both Duniya and Akhirah matters. He brought an uncivilized people into light from the darkness. He brought about a rich civilization out of his great message. That's the reason why, even his deadliest enemies used to call him as "Al-Ameen"(most trusted one). He is most unparalleled & matchless personality on the earth (Ashraful Khalq). 

As far as a Mo'min (believer) is concerned, he should be loved by him more than his self, his parents, his families, his properities, his each & everything. His teachings are our ways & lights. 

Even a single word or deed that defames or despicable his great personality is not easily digestible & it should be strongly slated & lambasted in the way as it should be. 

Our intellectual properties, tangible properties, human resources, unified strengths, powers etc. should be utilized for defending his sacred personality. But, all these should be within the Islamic & legal boundaries without harming others or damaging anything. Strong adherence to Islamic values & respect to our systems/laws should all times be remembered because the Prophet (Pbuh) is our role model for each & everything. 

Mash'Allah, that's what we observed from the good reactions of our people & others alike in Karnataka & other parts of India & gulf countries after Suvarna News TV's  Ajith Hanumakkanavar spitted the venomous bubbles against our Prophet (Pbuh). A wide protests in a legal & very democratic way are on the move in many parts of Karnataka, largely in the coastal regions of DK, Udupi, Bhatkal etc. NRI muslims & other compatriots of different faiths in gulf countries including in Saudi Arabia are also on the active mode in this regard.

We need to accelerate our agitations against his mindless remarks on organizational or individual basis (like submitting complaints, total discouraging his TV channel, filing case in courts, complaint in ministry of information & broadcasting etc.). Also we need to see him to be booked under the relevant law of the land & to be arrested. 

However, our abiding to the system/law should not be treated as weakness by any authorities & State Government. The government & concerned authorities should take this matter seriously so that peace & order shall prevail in the society. Please note that the defamatory remarks uttered by Ajith is heinous & very serious in nature. 

Let us hope for the justice and equity.

Washington D.C: One of the greatest spectacles of modern art is still thriving in the Australian outback as confirmed by satellite imagery of NASA. The Marree Man is a massive geoglyph depicting an aboriginal hunter, that spans over 2.6 miles in the Southern Australian region.

Discovered by a pilot in 1998, its origin still remains a mystery even to this date.

The Marree Man was given a new lease of life in 2016 when a group of people from the neighboring town of Marree plowed its lines to avert its fading due to erosion.

After NASA shared the image of the art-work that was taken in June, the efforts of the good samaritans turned out to be a total success, reported CNN Travel.

The restoration team believes that the refurbished Marree Man would last longer than its original version.

According to NASA, "They [the team] created wind grooves, designed to trap water and encourage the growth of vegetation. They hope that eventually, the man will turn green."

In a previous article, CNN reported that an entrepreneur by the name of Dick Smith took upon himself to unravel the geoglyph's mystery in 2016. His team combed through all the available evidence but couldn't find anything conclusive.

In 2018 he even offered a 5,000 Australian dollar reward for anyone who knows the identity of its creator.

Nobody turned up with an answer but it was speculated that unknown artist lives in Alice Springs or even might be an American.

US dictionary Merriam-Webster will update the meaning of the word "racism" after being contacted by a Missouri black woman, who claimed the current definition fell short of including the systematic oppression of people of colour, according to media reports.

"A revision to the entry for racism is now being drafted to be added to the dictionary soon, and we are also planning to revise the entries of other words that are related to racism or have racial connotations," according to a statement of the 189-year-old dictionary shared by Kennedy Mitchum, a recent graduate of Drake University in Iowa, on her Facebook.

Mitchum, 22, emailed the dictionary last month, following the death of African American George Floyd in the custody of four Minneapolis police officers, Xinhua news agency reported.

"I kept having to tell them that definition is not representative of what is actually happening in the world," Mitchum told CNN. "The way that racism occurs in real life is not just prejudice, it's the systemic racism that is happening for a lot of black Americans."

Merriam-Webster's first definition of racism is "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

"It's not just disliking someone because of their race," Mitchum wrote in a Facebook post on Friday. "This current fight we are in is evidence of that, lives are at stake because of the systems of oppression that go hand-in-hand with racism."

New Zealand's research institute in Antarctica is scaling back the number of projects planned for the upcoming season, in an effort to keep the continent free of coronavirus, it was reported on Tuesday.

The government agency, Antarctica New Zealand, told the BBC on Tuesday that it was dropping 23 of the 36 research projects.

Only long-term science monitoring, essential operational activity and planned maintenance will go ahead.

The upcoming research season runs from October to March.

"As COVID-19 sweeps the planet, only one continent remains untouched and (we) are focused on keeping it that way," Antarctica New Zealand told the BBC.

The organisation's chief executive Sarah Williamson said the travel limits and a strict managed isolation plan were the key factors for keeping Scott Base - New Zealand's research facility - virus free.

"Antarctica New Zealand is committed to maintaining and enhancing the quality of New Zealand's Antarctic scientific research. However, current circumstances dictate that our ability to support science is extremely limited this season" she said.

Earlier in April, Australia announced that it would scale back its activity in the 2020-21 summer season.

This included decreasing operational capacity and delaying work on some major projects.
