And the Nile kept flowing.۔۔۔🙂!
Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians used to say that if the Nile River was not pleased, it would not flow, and to keep it pleased, a girl was thrown into the river every year. That is, an unnatural sacrifice every year, then one day a letter was thrown into the water, and it is said that everything changed.In the seventh century, when Egypt came under the influence of the Islamic Caliphate and Hazrat Amr bin Al-As (RA) was appointed its governor, the locals said that this ritual was necessary for the annual flow of the Nile or else there would be destruction, and this was sent to Medina. In response, the Caliph Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) sent a letter in which he addressed the river and wrote that if it flows by its own will, then do not flow, and if it flows by the command of Allah,…

A physician from the borders of Constantinople, whose name was Dr. Leo, was boasting about his knowledge in the streets of Damascus. He used to say that Islamic physicians were slaves to books, while he himself knew the truth through experience. One day he arrived at the court of Sultan Saladin, and he said proudly: “Sultan! Your physicians feed the sick with herbs and recite prayers. I have come with science. I can prove that even poison can be made into medicine, if the dosage is right.” The Sultan smiled and said: “Good! So you know the dosage?” Dr. Leo stiffened his neck: “Yes! I can drink even snake venom drop by drop and survive.” There was an uproar in the court. Some called him crazy, some called him a liar.

Reality of the clash between Russia and Europe ۔☠️
In 1204, the Fourth Crusade, when the Catholic Christians of the Western countries conquered the Orthodox city of Constantinople and looted it, they dug up the graves of the old Byzantine kings, including the grave of Heraclius. They also removed the crown from his head. This was the same Heraclius whom the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had invited to Islam in the form of a letter. He honored the blessed letter but did not accept Islam for fear of losing the throne. The Crusaders considered King Heraclius to be the first Crusader. In the opinion of Catholic Christians, any Christian who has participated in the war against Muslims is a Crusader. In addition, these looters also dug up the grave of the great Byzantine emperor Justinian and were surprised that even after 639 years, his body was still fresh. They considered it a miracle, but despite this, they…

Four thousand Norse raiders—hardened by storms, hunger, and war—were heading farther south than any of their people had ever dared. They had not come as diplomats. They had come as hunters. And they believed that the Mediterranean would be their invitation. The expedition was led by two names that were legendary even in their own world: Hastin, a seasoned strategist, and Bjorn Ironside—young, ruthless, and burdened with a great legacy. He was said to be Ragnar’s son, and it was both a crown and a burden to him. Ragnar had shaken Europe. Bjorn wanted to leave him behind. Not by attacking villages, but by striking at the heart of civilization. His dream was almost impossible: to reach Rome. To reach Rome, they had to pass through the Strait of…
