![]() In the course of time, they were rehabilitated, and within a few years, they were no longer in need of any financial support. Soon, many of them settled down to trade and do business. The Muhajirun were anxious not to remain a burden on their brothers. Surely those (Muhajirun) who believed and migrated and strived hard in the way of Allah with their property and souls, and those (Ansar) who sheltered and helped them, these are indeed friends (and protectors) of one another. It is to this unification of interests that the Qur'an refers in the following verses: The Ansar volunteered to share half and half with other contractual brothers everything they earned or possessed. To ensure their economic security and also to establish brotherly ties between them and the Ansar, the Prophet joined each Muhajir with an Ansar in a tie of “Brotherhood’ that became even more precious and enduring than the bond of blood relationship. The Muhajirun needed some meaningful relief. Neither did I open nor close any door of my own accord. ![]() Having praised Allah, he said, “In accordance with the decree of Allah, I ordered you to close the doors and Ali to keep his open. The Prophet, thereupon, stood up and addressed them. The companions raised some objections against this order. The Prophet ordered the doors of all of them except that of Ali closed. The doors of the houses of some of the companions opened into the mosque. Abu Ayyub al-Ansari was head of the Banu al-Najjar clan to whom Selma, mother of ‘Abdul-Muttalib, Muhammad's grand-father, belonged, hence Abu Ayyub was actually a distant relative of the Messenger of Allah, a maternal cousin. On the completion of these rooms, the Prophet, who meanwhile was living with Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, whose full name is Khalid ibn Zayd ibn Kulayb, moved permanently into one of them. He will Insha-Allah be discussed later in this book. The rooms of the poor faithfuls who had no house of their own to live in were called “Suffa,’ and it was in one of them that a famous muhaddith, narrator of traditions, named Abu Hurayra used to live. The latter numbered about seventy at the time and later gradually increased to four hundred. On the other side, rooms were provided for the poor adherents who had no house of their own. Close to one side of the mosque, rooms were constructed for the Prophet and his family. Soon, a simple, unostentatious mosque was completed. ‘Ammar was the very first person to begin digging the mosque's foundation. ![]() The Prophet, too, had his share of the work, but he was seldom allowed to work as ‘Ammar ibn Yasir, one of the earliest converts to Islam and a faithful companion of the Prophet, used to accomplish the Prophet's share of work in addition to his own. The construction of this mosque, “Masjid al-Nabi,’ (mosque of the Prophet), was distributed among the converts. The trunks of palm trees were used as pillars to support the roof. Actually, it was not sufficiently solid to keep rain out. It was roofed with palm-wood rafters covered with palm branches, leaves and clay. The plot was cleared of the trees, and a mosque 54 yards in width and 60 yards in length was built over it with clay bricks and mud. But the Prophet kindly declined their offer, paying them instead two mithqals 1 in gold, the price settled for the plot. When they came to know that the Prophet wanted to build a mosque on their property, they were elated and offered the property as a present to the Prophet. The place where Muhammad's she-camel had stopped was an open courtyard with some palm trees growing over it, and it belonged to two orphan brothers named Sahl and Suhayl. The next task was to build a mosque in Medina like the one built in Quba. The immigrants, forty-five in number, were called “Muhajirun.’ Islam effaced the age-long enmity between the tribes of Aws and Khazraj and they were given the honourific designation of “Ansars’ (helpers or supporters). ![]() The name of the city was then changed to “Medinat al-Nabi’, the City of the Prophet. No wonder they gave the Prophet a tumultuous welcome at Yathrib. Islam had already taken roots in Yathrib thus before the Prophet arrived there on the invitation of the people of Aws and Khazraj. Unlike the Meccans, the Yathribites had no vested interest standing in the way of their accepting the new religion. The disciples who had preceded the Prophet were spreading the message of Islam throughout Yathrib. The deputation (of three to five hundred referred to above) which they had sent to Mecca had returned entirely satisfied. Some of their people had come into contact with the Prophet at Mecca and had been deeply impressed by Him. They had heard from the Jews that a Prophet was to come. Living in contact with the Jews, the Aws and the Khazraj tribes were not foreign to the idea of the unity of God. ![]()

They also caught the Midway bombardment group of four heavy cruisers, heavily damaging two of them, the Mikuma so badly that she had to be scuttled. Four squadrons of Navy SBD dive-bombers attacked and sank or fatally damaged all four Japanese fleet carriers present-three of them in the span of just six minutes (Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū and, later in the day, Hiryū). The SBD’s most important contribution to the American war effort came during the Battle of Midway in early June 1942. Their two forward-firing machine guns and one or two rear flexible-mount machine guns were effective against the lightly-built Japanese fighters. The SBD had long range, good handling characteristics, maneuverability, potent bomb load capacity, great diving characteristics, defensive armament and ruggedness. SBDs sank six Japanese carriers, 14 enemy cruisers, six destroyers, 15 transports or cargo ships and scores of lesser craft. In total, the Dauntless sank more enemy shipping than any other Allied bomber.įrom Pearl Harbor through April 1944, SBDs flew 1,189,473 operational hours, with 25 percent flown off aircraft carriers.

Vankyo V630 Brightness (Vivid Mode, Single Lamp Setting): 423 lumensīenQ TH585 Brightness (Bright Mode, Normal Lamp Power): 3,885 lumensĮven before I measured the two units, it was obvious that the BenQ was significantly brighter the Vankyo. That should give a pretty good approximation of ANSI lumens unless a projector’s brightness rolls off excessively at the edges. I took 3-4 readings about 15-20% out from the center of the lens. I also measured brightest at full wide angle because the iris is wide open allowing the most amount of light to get through. The Vankyo only has one lamp mode while the Benq has four (Normal, Economic, Smart Eco and LampSave). I also made sure the projectors were in their highest lamp mode. To measure ANSI lumens of the Vankyo and Benq, I set both projectors to their brightest modes. It might be helpful when comparing two “LUX” rated models in Vankyo’s lineup, but it can’t be used to compare brightness with another manufacturer’s projectors, so it is pretty much meaningless number. LUX is not a standard projector measurement so it can’t be used to compare brightness between projectors from different manufacturers. This rated brightness of 6,500 LUX might seem like a lot but there is a catch. While Vankyo advertises the V630 brightness as 6,500 LUX, the industry standard for measuring brightness is ANSI lumens. ![]() ![]() But Hypers have abysmal color choice and slightly more annoying to purchase, while Katanas are hit or miss with double sleeving.

![]() There are many variations in the markings for Sureno gang members tattoos and graffiti, and in each expression there’s a variation of the number 13 – whether it’s a simple number, roman numeral, or script interpretation. The Sureno gang uses the number 13, representing the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, the letter M, in order to mark their allegiance to the Mexican Mafia prison gang. They’re strongest in the Southern part of California, Arizona and New Mexico. This separation was based on the locations of the prisoners hometowns. The number 13 is politically relevant in graffiti,street gangs, the US Prison system, and even for gangs internationally. According to author Karen Kinnear, in 1968 California prison inmates were separated into two rival groups, Norteno (northerner) and Sureno gang (southerner). Image: Jose David Leiva CC BY 2.0 Gangs, Prisons, Bikers and the Number 13 Tattoos Most passenger aircraft don’t have a row 13, and tall buildings with lifts don’t have a 13th floor. The number 13 plays a massive part in the contemporary notion of luck. ![]() The Knights Templar were disbanded on Friday, May 13, 1307, and the Mayans thought the 13th month on their lunar calendar led to apocalypse. Judas Iscariot was the 13th disciple of Jesus. Just as it is claimed above by Aitken Smith, if you had a 13 tattoo you were a person looking to turn the tide against conventional luck that says 13, and the date Friday the 13th are unlucky. Number 13 tattoos hearken back to the old school era of Western tattooing, when most individuals getting inked were sailors or navy men getting a daredevil tattoo. Image: Tony Alter CC BY 2.0 Sailor SuperstitionĪ post shared by Haruo_letters on at 8:29am PDTįlash tattoos sheets featuring the number 13, or even the lucky 13, are some of the oldest types of traditional tattoo art you’ll find. According to Trent Aitken-Smith’s Tattoo Dictionary, “if bad luck came your way and saw the number 13 tattooed on you, it would assume you already had enough misfortune and pass you by.”Īnother school of thought tied to superstition believes that a traditional bad luck symbol tattoo cancels out the negatives and reverses the meaning, while many prison inmates and gang members from Southern California, and outlaw bikers wear the 13 as a badge of alienation from traditional society. ![]() There are a couple of motivations for the number 13 being considered lucky for a tattoo artist and their clientele. The following article delves further into the mystery, history and continuing popularity of number 13 tattoos. The unlucky number is treated as an antidote to conventional bad luck and identifier to other ink enthusiasts. The number 13 is associated with superstitious sailors, prison gangs and outlaws, and old school concepts of alienation and being an outsider. While the number 13 is associated with bad luck in Sailor Jerry’s world of “squares,” it is the opposite for tattoo lovers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tiny outlets peddling handmade souvenirs, trinkets, and crafts are also a dime a dozen along this stretch of NW 23rd Ave. More casual eateries, such as Little Big Burger and Pepino’s Mexican Grill, are also peppered into the street scene.

In-between drinking sessions, don’t forget to try some of Portland’s amazing restaurants as well. Portlanders love their beer and their bikes, after all, so how’s that for living it up like a local? If you truly want to get your pub-crawl on, I can’t think of a better idea than Prince of Travel reader Atom’s suggestion of jumping on a BrewCycle – a tandem bike that sits up to 12 people and allows you to pedal your way across town from pub to pub (with the steering thankfully done by a sober ringleader). After ordering their classic sampler of five different craft brews, we each picked one we liked and persisted with it for the next pint, or three… The former is indeed one of the city’s specialties, and Jessica and I dropped by the Deschutes Brewery Public House with some local friends for a taste of the craft beer scene. Craft Beer & Restaurantsĭonuts are certainly worth getting excited about, but craft beer and delicious food are what take Portland’s gastro scene to the next level. Oh well, something to leave for next time. That’s what Jessica and I did, although admittedly it leaves me with a bit of unfulfilled curiosity on Voodoo. Some might say that no visit to Portland would be complete without a bite into one of Voodoo’s creations, but if you ask the locals, many of them might tell you to skip the long queues – mostly composed of the Instagram crowd, who arguably came more for the glamour than the glaze – and head to competing Blue Star Donuts instead. Better yet, go for a walk around the block and find some nibbles and nosh to help you wash that message down… Grab your selfie, take a step back in the parking lot, and internalize the message of maintaining the enigmatic sanctity of the city around you.
