Bengal famine: Remembering WW2's forgotten disasterClose
In 1943, during World War Two, Bengal in British-run India was hit with a severe shortage of food.
Following the Japanese occupation of Burma, the Allied forces had halted the movement of food in the region.
No one knows how many people died but estimates range between 3m and 5m people.
Professor Rafiqul Islam was a child in Bengal at the time. He spoke to Witness about the little-known famine that claimed so many lives.
Witness is a World Service programme of the stories of our times told by the people who were there.

كما تظهر البيانات من وكالة ناسا NASA ، فإن الأرض أصبحت أكثر خضرة الآن مما كانت عليه قبل 20 عامًا. ذلك، بمجهود الصين والهند، حيث بدأتا حملتهما الدؤوبة لزراعة غابات جديدة تؤتي ثمارها أخيرًا.

Are the words of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, & Nupur Sharma, about the marriage of the Prophet true…?
There’s a rumour going around about the Prophet Muhammad, [He is the Prophet of the Muslims].
They say he married Aisha when she was 6 years old & that this is a violation of childhood & rape, but hey! Is this true? Or is it just a conspiracy again Islam and distortion of the image of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad?
Let’s see together the answer to this doubt:
The Prophet Muhammad proposed to Aishah, who is the daughter of his best friend, Abu Bakr, (who supported him and helped him a lot with his message) because Khawalah bint Al-Hakim, suggested that The Prophet Muhammad marries her for this reason, because she believed that Aishah was suitable for marriage and because his other wife, Khadijah, had passed away.
1) The Prophet asked for her hand and the marriage contract took place, BUT he waited for her while she was in her family’s house for 3 years, and he did absolutely nothing with her until she grew up and became 9 years old, only then did they do what usually happens between married couples.
Well, now we have clarified the first fact, that marriage in the sense of sexual intercourse took place at the age of 9, not 6.
But many may object that even a 9-year-old is not suitable for marriage. Is this true? Let’s see together.
2) The Prophet wasn’t the first to betrothed to her, as Jubayr bin Mut’im proposed to her before him, and that was for an important reason, because no one would propose to her before him except that she was fully mature and feminine, or the signs of puberty had appeared.
It is medically known that puberty in hot regions is faster than in less hot regions. Puberty in girls in hot regions reach 8 or 9 years.
2) As Dr. Duchni, an American physician, says:
“A white girl in America may hit puberty at seven or eight, and a girl of African origin at six. It is also medically proven that the first menstruation known as (menarche) falls between the age of nine and fifteen.”

3) Marriage to a young girl at their time was common because of their rapid maturity and puberty.
4 The polytheists and the enemies of the Prophet Muhammad, look for anything against the Messenger in order to attack him with it.
If his marriage to Aishah when she was young was a mistake, they would’ve taken advantage of this and used it to attack him and insult him, but none of the polytheists and enemies condemned that! Because this was a very common & a natural concept for them, to marry whilst young, due to the physical fitness of women & their early puberty.
5) The more important thing here to view, is Aishah’s opinion of this marriage. Did she hate it? Was she harmed? Of course not! Rather, she was very happy and content with her marriage to the noble man Muhammad, peace be upon him, who was kind to her and loved her dearly, served her, sympathised with her, played with her, respected her.
Add to that, She was very sad at his death. If she had been harmed by the marriage psychologically or physically, would she have loved him!? Or mourn his death!? Or miss him and be jealous of him!? Think with your mind!!
6) The Prophet died when Aisha was 18 years old, and the best years of her life were the ones spent with the Messenger.
She remained until she died at the age of 66. She didn’t mention the Prophet badly after his death, so that no one could claim the she might’ve been afraid of the Prophet, or his companions.

من ذكريات زيارتي للهند!!
من ذكريات زيارتي للهند!!
تعرضت لنقد عنيف بسبب معلومة كتبتها في كتابي “الذكاء وتنمية القدرات العقلية في الإسلام” بسبب أنني وصفت غير المسلم بمحدودية الذكاء، والسبب أنك كيف تصف شخص صنع قنبلة ذرية ووصل إلى القمر وربما يصل أو وصل إلى المريخ بأنه محدود الذكاء؟!! فكان جوابي عن ذلك: بأننا نحكم على الشخص بالذكاء بناء على النتيجة النهائية، وليس بناء على العمليات العقلية الجزئية التي يفعل الملايين منها في اليوم الواحد، فكل عملية…
