Alhamdulillah, I used to pray for times like this. I passed the CCNA

Dear Zuha, I know you are inquisitive about how our religious days fit into the modern world. It is a brilliant question. I will be breaking this down for you so you can clearly see that Islam is not a copycat. It is a complete system with its own deep, independent roots. Firstly, you asked: if the Gregorian calendar is not real, why do Muslims pray on Friday, and is there a different Friday in the Islamic calendar? To help you and others understand, we have to go back to history. Pope Gregory was the one who introduced the Gregorian calendar, and he introduced it in 1582. However, when you look at Islamic history, you will see that Muslims had been observing Jumu'ah for nearly a thousand years before that Pope was even born. If you open classical books of Islamic history such as the Seerah of Ibn Hisham or The Sealed Nectar, the physical proof is right there. These books documented the very first Jumu'ah prayer held by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 622 CE. It took place in the valley of Ranuna during his migration from Mecca to Medina. In that same era, Allah revealed an entire chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Jumu'ah, where He commanded the believers to leave their worldly trades and gather. This proves Yawm al-Jumu'ah was a lived reality in the 7th century, over 900 years before the Gregorian calendar existed in Rome. Now, you might wonder how this connects to the Friday we know today. Frankly, the seven day weekly loop is an entirely different system from how we count solar or lunar months. It is an ancient, unbroken mathematical cycle. You do not even have to take my word for it. Non Muslim historians and sociologists agree on this. For instance, Eviatar Zerubavel in his book The Seven Day Circle confirmed that this weekly cycle has remained completely unbroken for thousands of years across different empires. The day the Western world decided to call Friday aligns seamlessly with the sixth day of that ancient cycle. In Arabic, the days are just numbered. Sunday is Day One. Monday is Day Two. The sixth day is Yawm al-Jumu'ah, the Day of Gathering. This means we do not pray on this day to honor a Roman calendar. That is, it was just a coincidental relationship. We pray on it because Allah established it on a divine timeline. Secondly, you asked: why is Friday night considered so blessed, and what are you missing here? To understand this, we have to look at the foundations of human existence. Friday goes more than just the end of the work week. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that Friday is the day Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was created, the day he entered Paradise, the day he was sent to earth, and the day the world will end. This is why the Prophet had a very profound routine. Every Friday during the early morning Fajr prayer, he would recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. He did this deliberately. These two chapters detail the creation of the universe, the biological creation of man, and the intense realities of the Day of Judgment. Praying these chapters every Friday morning is a divine reset. It reminds you of your origin and your final destination, both of which are tied to this specific day. Because Friday carries the heavy weight of the end of times, reciting Surah Al-Kahf is your spiritual shield. The Surah contains stories about the ultimate trials of wealth, power, and faith. Reading it provides a divine light that protects your heart from the materialistic noise of the world and the deception of the Dajjal until the next Jumu'ah. So by this fact, you are not missing anything. You just need to see that we are not following a Gregorian Friday. We are following a divine timeline. Don’t fret. Allah knows best.

THE NURSE WHO RETURNED TO NGOSHE When ISWAP overran Ngoshe in early March, dozens fled. Among them was Aisha, a nurse at the local primary health centre. She watched her community burn from a distant hill, carrying only her youngest child and a small bag. Last week, soldiers recaptured the town. Aisha walked back through the rubble, found the clinic roof still half‑standing, and began sweeping. When a reporter asked why she returned so soon, she said: "The women here are expecting babies. If I don't come, who will?" She now delivers babies in a makeshift tent beside the clinic. No salary has arrived. She doesn't ask. In a war of headlines, these are the quiet heroes. They don't fire guns. They save futures.

@akintunero @abfatherndume We must. Yesterday i practiced Vnet Peering, VMs, and IAM in a single lab. I proceeded to private and public DNS. I shall continue my attack at sunset. Next it's deploying S2S vpn, p2S vpn, hub and spoke vnet deployment.

We must learn Azure together this year 😂

Nothing but the truth...

The distance between Makkah and Madinah is about 450 km. That means if you were driving at a continuous speed of 80 km per hour, you would arrive in approximately 5 hours. Imagine, O believer, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled half of this distance riding on camels and half of it walking on his own feet, for eight days, accompanied by Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq رضي الله عنه, in extremely hot days and very cold nights. Our Prophet ﷺ carried his belongings and burdens that even mountains could not bear, after leaving his home in haste under the cover of darkness, fleeing with his religion from Quraysh, who had firmly resolved to eliminate him ﷺ. Why all this hardship, exhaustion, and suffering? All of this was so that this religion might prevail, that the universe might be illuminated with the light of truth, pushing away the darkness of ignorance and jāhiliyyah, and so that believers might live in the light of faith. May my soul and my family be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah. O Allah, send prayers and peace upon our master Muhammad.🤲

@oap_00 @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC to configure alerts on devices go to devices go to notification triggers set the rules for alerting

@grndmaster_ @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC Awesome stuff. Do you mind sharing step by step how you set it up?

I setup PRTG on a live subnet at work to test monitoring, find ease, and improve my skills. I added some virtual machines to the network with SNMP on. I also configured email notifications so that I get notifications whenever i was away from work. @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC

@oap_00 @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC for the VMs, I connected them to the network using Bridged adapter connection, this allows the pc to pick IPs and act as if they are physically connected to the network. To configure notifications, you need to set up google app password

@oap_00 @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC -access the prtg web interface on 127.0.0.1 or the ip (from another device) - go to devices tab - add autodiscovery group and enter network address or device ip - after the devices have been discovered, select the devices and add the sensors you want to monitor to the devices

@oap_00 @akintunero @lanceeihoda @OnijeC i don't mind. - download PRTG free trial (you need an organisational email) - Install on the the PC which will be monitoring the network - conf snmp on routers and switches - enable snmp on end devices (windows in my own case) - conf firewall to allow icmp and snmp traffic on PCs

These are the results of the alerts configured

These shows a summary of interfaces that are up, and have warning status

Wssss in the chat 🥂 Special thanks to @grndmaster_, @akintunero, @OnijeC and @JeremysITLab.

@suaaz_ @akintunero @OnijeC @JeremysITLab Congratulations chief.

I honestly CANNOT believe this goal Dembele scored yesterday, honestly I think this might win the Puskas award

@Mayor_tweets @Microsoft AZ-700 I want to pivot to cloud network engineering, I'm currently studying for the AZ-104. Ccna + Az900+Az104+Az700 Would be a great collection for me

2 years ago today, I joined @Microsoft Grateful for the growth, the challenges, and the awesome people I get to build with. I have 2 Microsoft Cert vouchers for 2 people. Tell me why you need one and which one. 🥂❤️

A 2018 Student Pilot Has Become an Okada Rider 😭😭 A brilliant and hardworking young man, Abdullahi Abubakar, who was previously a student pilot, has now resorted to working as an okada (commercial motorcycle) rider due to lack of financial support and inability to pay his school fees. At the beginning of his journey, Abdullahi Abubakar was given the opportunity to study at the International Aviation College, Ilorin (IAC). The Kebbi State Government sponsored part of his training by paying a portion of the fees amounting to two million naira (₦2,000,000). This support enabled him to complete one year of training for the Private Pilot License (PPL). Abdullahi Abubakar underwent several aviation training programs and sat for the Ground School Examination, where he performed excellently. He also passed the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) examinations with very good results. However, when he reached the Circuit and Landing stage of his training, the funds provided by the Kebbi State Government were exhausted. This forced him to return home in search of means to continue the training, which requires ₦1.8 million. Since 2019, Abdullahi has written to apply for a scholarship through the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Kebbi State Scholarship Board, but up till now, he has received no response. Therefore, I am appealing to the Kebbi State Government to come to the aid of this young aviation student, considering that the ₦2 million already invested will go to waste if the training is not completed. Indeed, this is a great opportunity for Kebbi State to produce a talented and skilled young professional like Abdullahi Abubakar, who is determined to achieve his dream. I also call on key stakeholders in Kebbi State, including businesspeople and politicians, to support and sponsor the remaining ₦1.8 million needed to enable this young man to become a qualified pilot. In conclusion, Abdullahi Abubakar is an indigene of Kebbi State, from Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, with license number 7468(A).
