It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Said al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to him):

Abu Said, whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad as his Apostle is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise.

E-Book Converter Bot became two years old!

Two years ago on this day I completed the development of E-Book Converter Bot (@ebook_converter_bot) first version, which is a Telegram bot for converting different text book formats (from Word document or EPUB to Kindle KFX format for example and vice versa).

It aims to serve users of e-readers, especially those who do not have a computer or have little technical experience and cannot perform the conversion using specialized programs.

Today, the number of bot users has reached more than 14000 users, and the number of books converted through the bot is more than 100000 books.

Over the past two years, I have added many features and updates to the bot and the development is ongoing.

The bot is open source and written in Python. All technical details can be found here: https://github.com/yshalsager/ebook-converter-bot

To use the bot, all you have to do is sending the file you want to convert to the bot and it will ask you to choose the format to convert to and then send the converted file. The bot can also be used in groups by replying to any file with the command

And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

https://quran.com/21?startingVerse=97

﴿ أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ عَبَثٗا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ ۝ فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ ۝ ﴾ [المؤمنون: 115 - 116]

[Al-Mu’minūn - 115] "Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?"

[Al-Mu’minūn - 116] So Exalted be Allah, the True King, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!

https://quran.com/23?startingVerse=115

﴿ وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةِۭ بَطِرَتۡ مَعِيشَتَهَاۖ فَتِلۡكَ مَسَٰكِنُهُمۡ لَمۡ تُسۡكَن مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ وَكُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثِينَ ۝ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡعَثَ فِيٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولٗا يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهۡلِكِي ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا وَأَهۡلُهَا ظَٰلِمُونَ ۝ ﴾ [القصص: 58 - 59]

And how many a city were there which were ungrateful for Allah’s blessings on them, then they exceeded the bounds in sins and disobedience, so I sent a punishment to them and destroyed them through it. So these are their dwellings in ruins, with people passing by them. They were not inhabited after those who lived in them, except for a few travellers. And it is I who will inherit the heavens, the earth and everyone in them.

O Messenger, your Lord did not destroy the cities until he had given opportunity to their inhabitants by sending Messengers to their main cities, just as He sent you to the Mother of Cities. And I was not one to destroy the people of the cities when they were firm on the truth. I only destroy them when they are unjust through disbelief and committing sins.

It is not strange to see Western powers siding with the murderous occupiers. Nor is it strange that they look at our tragedies and wounds with a blind eye. They stand indifferent to the severe destruction, killing of children, and the genocide that is taking place in Gaza, that is despite it being well documented in the media.
All of this is not strange to those who are familiar with the path of criminals illustrated by not only the Qur’an, but also human history, and in today's reality.
However this may be strange to those who regard the West as the perfect model, and those whose ultimate wish is to study in their country, adopt their culture and emulate their civilization.

The issue today is a deep-rooted issue. It must arouse within us a sense of chauvinism towards our faith, reshape the awareness of those among us who are deep in their sleep. And most importantly it must have an impact on the true return to God Almighty, and the abandoning of the paths of heedlessness and triviality that squander our lives. This should be followed by taking initiatives towards the aiding of Muslims and Islam.
Whoever is not awakened by the pain and tragedies, and by the enemies’ attacks today, might never wake up after that, except tomorrow in his grave: (You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp)

Palestinians have a legal right to armed resistance against Israeli colonialism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwO6cGnn-M8

Hello, world, here is Gaza.

Today (12 Oct 2023) marks the fifth day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, with over 250,000 Palestinians displaced and entire neighborhoods and residential areas annihilated. The number of martyrs has reached 1,055 and more than 5,184 wounded so far, with some still under the rubble.

The power station has reported that the electricity supplying Gaza will completely shut down at 2:00 PM today, indicating a catastrophe at all levels.
The Zionist enemy closed the Rafah crossing yesterday after shelling travelers, causing a complete paralysis of all aspects of life: no electricity, no water, no internet.

The Nazi occupation continues to sow corruption in the land, and you can't imagine the extent of the destruction. What is shown on television conveys only 1% of the reality on the ground.

Houses are being bombarded with their occupants inside; residential areas are being destroyed by explosive barrels and phosphorus shells. We urgently need the aggression to stop; hearts have reached their throats.
We are still alive, but we don't know when our time will come.

We are not just numbers.
