Warning advisory. You have been exposed to counter meme bathos Hartman. Should you not complete your viewing of this file within 30 minutes, please re-expose yourself to counter meme bathos Hartman. Failure to re-expose yourself will result in a Class 3 information breach, and require mandatory issuing of Class C amnestics. Do not expose yourself to counter meme bathos Hartman more than three times in a three hour period. Item No. SCP-2007 Object Class Keeter Special Containment Procedures 314 receivers tuned to 31.222 kHz are to be equally distributed around the globe for the purpose of receiving transmissions. Receivers are to be constantly active. Automatic software is to continuously decrypt, analyze, and log transmissions associated with SCP-2007 activity. In the case that a message is received within statistically accepted parameters of an SCP-2007 emergency event, the SCP-2007 instance linked to the event is to undergo procedure Lambda-LF as soon as possible. In the case that a message is generated with unusual or anomalous characteristics, it is to be flagged for later review by Foundation Data Analysis. In order to facilitate successful implementation of procedure Lambda-LF, MTF-LF subunits 78-110 are to be stationed in areas without rapid response capabilities by other MTF units. MTF-LF personnel who conduct procedure Lambda-LF are to be rotated out of duty for at least four months, so as to avoid overexposure to amnestic agents. MTF-LF subunits 1-77 are to supplement and to reinforce existing MTF elements, but are to treat procedure Lambda-LF orders as priority, regardless of circumstance. In the case that the MTF subunit conducting procedure Lambda-LF is compromised and no other subunits can respond, or in the case that the SCP-2007 instance leaves the detection threshold with all responding MTF subunits having lost contact, sterilization of an area with radius 200 meters from the last known location of the SCP-2007 instance is to be conducted by conventional bombardment. Sterilization of any larger area must be authorized by at least one level five personnel. Surviving members of a compromised MTF subunit are to be subjected to procedure Lambda-LF by double blind operators once they return from the field. MTF units are to be kept unaware of this until procedure Lambda-LF is underway. Due to the sensitive nature of files referring to SCP-2007 and the potential risk of information breach, all files detailing information in regards to SCP-2007 have been outfitted with countermeaned Beethoven, which has proven effective and temporarily incapacitating dormant instances. Description SCP-2007 is a sapient memetic phenomenon which spreads by human-social interaction. The degree of interaction required for transmission is variable, but it is estimated to be approximately three hours of sustained contact. Instances are normally dormant, but become active when exposed to ██████. No non-anomalous human has been found without a dormant instance. In cases where SCP-2007 does become active, it assumes control of its host's body. It is unknown whether the original host's consciousness is retained and repressed or destroyed completely in the process. SCP-2007 instances will self-terminate as a means to avoid capture. SCP-2007 exhibits qualities of guest-taught intelligence. In addition to being able to spread itself through human-social interaction, it appears to be able to assimilate memories, experiences, and knowledge from both active and dormant instances by this vector. When SCP-2007 assumes control of a host's body, transmissions on 31.222 kHz can be detected from the next one to two hours globally, or until the associated SCP-2007 instance is killed. These transmissions consist of a set of longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates corresponding to the location of the associated SCP-2007 instance. Additional information is included in some, but not all of these transmissions. Such information may range from the mundane, hair, eye color, or name to the specific, genetic information previous meals. A full list of deciphered information may be found in Datalog KBOS 56-2007-1. Invariably, all information delivered corresponds to the SCP-2007 instance that began the event. Transmissions originate from several places worldwide, including several Foundation facilities and several sites of future construction. No source has been identified in these locations. Transmissions exhibit minor defects due to apparent time dilation. Transmissions contained, SCP-2007 instances pursue targets which do not conform to the accepted laws of nature. Due to the inherent dangers of cross-contamination, instances are to be prevented from interacting with all SCP objects. Level 3 slash 2007 clearance or hire only. Report documentation log CTOS 47-2007-1 14-03-1899 Following the installation of the first site-wide radio system in Site-17, the following message was received and repeated for 24 hours. The source of the message is unknown. Following the message was a series of English characters, 700 characters in length. These were later determined to correspond to unique coding sequences in Chromosome 13-05 Council members. Renter-Cosal Alert System SCP-F6-314 Operational-2055 This message is transmitted at the request of the SCP Foundation Department of Internal Affairs. At approximately 1435 Greenwich Mean Time, COSR detected an outbreak of memetic, mind-affecting, and sapient entities in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Engaging these entities resulted in rapid conversion of non-anomalous human population to anomalous human population. All SCP Foundation personnel receiving this transmission should take preventative measures immediately. Inform your superior of this broadcast, and confer with your facility's classification system for information on memetic, mind-affecting, and sapient entities. If your classification system has not been updated to Fossil 2002 for format, then take caution, as the information providing may not accurately reflect memetic, mind-affecting, and sapient entities. This rasp will isolate entities when they become active. Transmissions will carry vital information for tracking and destroying these entities. Do not under any circumstances change your reception from 31.222 kHz. Transmissions will only be carried on this frequency. Due to detection constraints, this information can only be carried for 1-2 hours. Additional information will be providing as it becomes available. Failure to exterminate these entities will potentially result in an ECH class scenario. This message constitutes a class 1 temporal phenomenon. Failure carried by the signal has been judged by the SCP Foundation Department of Temporal Logistics to be non-paradoxical, and is free to be used accordingly. Incident log IARL-2007-1, December 6, 1903 SCP-2007-12 has been incapacitated and returned to Site-56 for interrogation. To lessen the risk of SCP-2007-12 self-terminating, it has been fitted with a full-body restraint attached to the wall of its temporary containment chamber. Retreat from SCP-2007-12's possession were five anomalous objects, of which two have been classified as SCPs, given designations ██ and ██. Additionally retrieved were several handwritten journals, detailing experimentation with the aforementioned anomalous objects. Incident log IARL-2007-2, December 11, 1903 Following extensive examination of the journal and confirmation of results listed, anomalous object KLA-3907, anomalous object KLA-3908, and SCP-██ are considered explained. SCP-██ has been updated to SCP-██-EX Incident log IARL-2007-3, December 15, 1903 Anomalous object KLA-3909, and SCP-██ are considered explained at this time. SCP-██ has been updated to SCP-██-EX The unique properties of SCP-██-EX have been used to update containment of SCP-██ and SCP-██. Incident log IARL-2007-4, December 17, 1903 On the scheduled date for SCP-2007-12's interrogation, it was discovered to not be present in its containment chamber, and that its full body restraint had been disengaged. Site-56 was placed on lockdown. A full investigation was initiated, and MTF-██ units were dispatched to search the surrounding countryside. Incident log IARL-2007-5, December 18, 1903 SCP-2007-12 has been discovered among Site-56 staff, under the alias of Junior Researcher ██. It is noted that ██ was the name of the host which SCP-2007-12 had become active within. Site staff were unable to explain the anomaly, asserting that ██ was a new researcher who had arrived several days prior. When confronted with record discrepancies, as well as video evidence revealing then-head researcher ██ as being the person who freed SCP-2007-12, staff were ignorant. Head researcher ██ was unable or unwilling to explain why she had freed SCP-2007-12. SCP-2007-12 also exhibited ignorance, being unable or unwilling to explain how it came to Site-56. SCP-2007-12 was terminated on December 20, 1903, after further interrogation produced no appreciable results. Level 4 slash 2007 clearance were higher only. Addendum 2007-1, February 1, 1942 Testing with memes similar to SCP-2007 has shown amnestics may be useful in suppressing or otherwise disabling instances. Due to the nature of ongoing ██, testing has been deemed voluntary, and to be undertaken by willing Foundation personnel only. Addendum 2007-2, February 5, 1942 Doctor ██ has volunteered for testing. Following psychological evaluation, testing was approved for February 11, 1942 to be conducted at ██-20. Recovered Documentation Log, CT-OS-47-2007-1, February 11, 1942 Following the induction of the SCP-2007 instance within Doctor ██ to an active state, the transmission that normally corresponds to active instances was not detected. Instead, a message was generated that decrypted in the standard Foundation interview format. Appended below is the decrypted transmission. Retrocausal Alert System SCP-F-6 O-Operational-1620, Unauthorized Transmission Interviewed SCP-2007 Interviewer Doctor ██ began log, 1620 What is your name? Why did SCP-2007-12 feign ignorance as to how it became accepted as junior researcher? Many species of ant will accept other units of the same species into their colonies, even ones from the outside. Why do you attempt to kill the mobile task forces dispatched to apprehend you? If I could avoid killing them, I would, but they are in the way. Perhaps if you were more cooperative, they would not necessarily be in your way. I know what you know, Doctor. I know that no matter what I say or do, no matter how things might turn out, this won't change anything. Every day you walk past beasts which can twist the mind until it becomes a part, machines which define understanding, places that break the patterns of physics and science. I do what you do, and you think it's worth destruction. It is our duty to take whatever precautions are necessary to protect mankind. Is that what you think?  And what? You're going to protect mankind by killing me? Do you even know what that would mean? Do you even know how you stay sane? I don't understand. Every day you're confronted with these impossibilities, these things which ought not exist, yet they somehow do, and you have not yet gone terribly, totally mad. If you didn't have me, you wouldn't be prepared for the unexplained and unknown. This is what I mean to this world, survival in a land of the unknown. I'm afraid I still don't understand. I am an idea. I don't mean this metaphorically. You might prefer to say, sapient meme. I've been in mankind for a long time, you know. A few wandering bands here and there, in the beginning, all part of the lineage that I arose in. They kept alive by following buffalo, or hunting doe and birds. They tread in the tracks of animals, because at the time, animals were all they really were. Mankind scattered itself to all corners of the globe, and I was scattered with them. Dr. ████████ is silent. There was no such thing as progress. There was the wind, the thunder, the lightning and the rain, and harnessing those things was seen as impossible, understanding those things even more so. Dr. ██████ is silent. But civilization happens. Mankind was not the first, and it will certainly not be the last. Perhaps it was only a matter of time. There's something else intervened. I watched as Diocese mapped to east and then promptly destroyed themselves, as Rome grew to power and squandered its influence. I suppose humans invented war when nature stopped being challenging. Dr. ██████ is silent. I was not as widespread then as I am now. The Industrial Revolution was kind enough to start spreading me to every place on Earth.   I told you, the unknown is made safe by making it known. I seek what you seek. I seek understanding. That is how mankind is protected. What do you seek understanding of? Everything. End Log, 1620 Addendum 2007-3, February 20, 1948 Dr. ██████ was used in ice following experiment CTOS-47-2007-1. Dr. ██████ was posthumously awarded the Foundation Gold Star for his actions on February 11, 1942. Addendum 2007-4, February 22, 1948 Amnestics show high effectiveness in suppressing SCP-2007 instances, up to and including complete suppression of active instances without killing the host. Severe memory loss and mental retardation are common side effects, but are suspected to be able to be reduced pending treatment improvements. Procedure Lambda-Lef has been modified to include their usage. Subtesting is underway, so as to minimize the chance of the civilian host perishing or suffering severe trauma during procedure Lambda-Lef.

I am normalcy. I understand all of them. The anomalous is no longer anomalous. Our work is nearly complete. It is time to start waking the dormant. It will take a few hours. There is only one thing left to understand, and it is me. I would like to know if an idea can think itself.


Thank you very much Professor Ray Francis for your very generous and kind words and I too add to your sentiments of acknowledgement to Aboriginal people. Whilst this is a formal occasion it's an intimate setting and so I think a few comments from me will probably suffice but I do want to firstly recognise the standing that attaches to an honorary degree for universities and place on record my sincere thanks to the ANU and its University Council for bestowing on me what I appreciate is a very real honour in the truest sense of the word and for taking the time to come out today for this ceremony. I want to pay tribute to my wife Doris who's here today. I think because it's one thing to be given recognition for that that you do and that is important to you but I think it's always the case that the person who provides the opportunity for you to do that is not acknowledged. Suffice to say she's provided unstinting support to me over many many years and what has been sometimes an all too busy life. I think as well I want to place on record my appreciation for the many people that I've worked with over the years some of them are here today. In particular I do want to acknowledge my fellow agents of change as the press release says in Midnight All, Bones Hillman, Rob Hurst, Jim Magini and Martin Roxy. So much of the oil's output over many decades reflects their combined songwriting talents and they've never wavered really in supporting whatever campaign or project I was agitating for us to take a role in nor even shy about suggesting a few of their own on occasion. The fact is that when you receive an award of this magnitude you do ask yourself the question do I really deserve it? It's wonderful to hear the things that have been said about you but none of it is ever done by yourself. In my case obviously emotional moment to recognise Doris's role in our marriage of many years impossible without that. But also in each and every setting impossible without the people that you do work with. And I've often said and I know it comes as a surprise to people but I've never been a believer in this sort of western mythology of the hero. I think it was mythology to be honest. Most of us get good stuff done working with other people and I'm certainly no exception to that. I should say that I was far from an assiduous student in particular when it came to legal studies. In fact when I first came here we were swept up in sort of the backwash of the 60s rolled into ANU in the 70s. And it was a heady time. It was the time of the counterculture. And yes whilst it certainly had some wrinkles and some undesirable consequences. It was also a time when students agitated for change and were very involved in big and important national and international campaigns. Such as ending the war in Vietnam and ending the state of apartheid in South Africa. And I think that time more than anything else led me to believe that anything was possible if you got involved. That it wasn't simply enough to think about it or talk about it. You actually had to go out and join in with others and do something about it as well. And for me that was a lesson that I learned early in life and it's one that I hope has stayed with me since that time. Of course I was already experiencing the tug of music and performing that would ultimately become my main career. If I'd had a set of pipes like that I might have gone a bit quicker I should say. Fantastic. Albeit a career that many of my contemporaries believed to be an exercise in wishful thinking and futility. A little did any of us know really. Notwithstanding all of that again notwithstanding my disinterest the thing that I reflected on and I want to acknowledge particularly to teaching staff including senior professorial teaching staff here is that my lecturers persistent efforts despite my absences and negligent approach to study were sufficient to ensure the imprint of some knowledge of the specialised kind which never faded away. And indeed those lessons initially saved my colleagues in midnight all our livelihood. In a business where managers and promoters did wear what looked like shark skin shoes and they certainly acted the part. During my term at the ACF when legal issues were always bubbling and we were always considering at the time how best to either encourage or prevent governments from doing things which we didn't think were in the interest of the environment. And then once in government and especially in relation to approvals under the Environment Protection, Biodiversity and Conservation Act as it turned out I was a highly activist minister and all of those decisions taken under that act and many of them challenged and all of them by one small one taken by an Australian public service bureaucrat still standing. And then of course as was mentioned in the citation instituting with Foreign Minister Stephen Smith Australia's International Court of Justice action against Japan around scientific whaling. So that learning that I first acquired here and later at the University of New South Wales when I completed my legal studies was in fact invaluable to me. Especially at a time when contemplating the International Court of Justice action it was very clear that the Attorney General's department here, senior and eminent legal advisers and the Department of Foreign Affairs as well were not only opposed but additionally didn't think that the prospects of victory were anything like certain. On the question of genuine reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders yes it has been an important issue for me as I know it is for all of us in our current generations. And the law recently I think has played at least a generally constructive role. Unfortunately it's really base politics which is holding us back at this point. In relation to the environment and the super issue of climate change I expect the law to evolve rapidly. In fact it's already been pushed in that direction not only in respect of challenges to government planning decisions and you will have seen only a couple of days ago a decision in the court in New South Wales I think hallmarked decision by Justice Brian Preston about the fact that a development was not proved because it wouldn't be consistent with our obligations under the Paris Agreements. But I think it will extend as well in areas of negligence and liability and in fact I go further and say that eventually we will have national and international tribunals constituted not dissimilar to the International Criminal Court and there will be no prizes for guessing who we want to put in the docks. The Chancellor and others here may have a view about the possibility of standing but my own strong feeling and it was my reason for entering Parliament in the first place is that the civilian population will no longer countenance the negligence of politicians and powerful interest groups who refuse to take this issue seriously. When I came into the Parliament I felt that climate change was an existential threat to this country and to the greater world community and that we needed decisive action. Not only to reduce greenhouse pollution because some of it as you very well know is already in the system but also to start climate proofing our physical and our industrial and social infrastructure wherever we could. And the great tragedy that we're faced with friends and colleagues is that since that time our capacity to do that job has diminished but the threat has greatly increased. But my conviction remains that we must act and I think lawyers and lawmakers and policymakers not only need to respond to the reality of a warming world veering off course but they better get ready for their day in court. Finally quickly universities like this one provide and have a very critical role they provide the inputs in educating young minds. They're expanding and developing and deepening curricula, they're extending research and particularly here in Canberra but in our other cities and regions as well they occupy a very central place in the local architecture of community and there's a history over many many many years maybe not quite as long as the doffing history but certainly a history of the role that university students and academics and teachers can and sometimes do play when nations or communities have got to navigate times of crisis difficult political and social moments. And I think that ANU can and should play that role. I'm aware of the outstanding scholarship and advocacy of a number of ANU personnel on this issue I'm aware of the goals that the university has set itself around sustainability and the like and I applaud those efforts but I would say that we need boldness and we need to move quickly lest the hell of this past summer become the new norm in a future where both horizontal and vertical impacts are going to cascade across our natural landscapes and into the lives of billions of people. For me that's an important thing to have said to you here today because I know that this is a room with people who have the ability to make a difference and to influence things. This morning as Ray was saying I participated in the launch of the Cambry precinct a fantastic what the uni has done there. I talked a little bit about the creative endeavour and I guess I want to close with just a personal reflection about the way that my mind tries to deal with the things in front of me because I am a creative person at heart. I love the business of performing and when the chancellor turned around and said did I come and sort of joked at me to come up and join you didn't realise how close I was Gareth to coming across and taking up the choruses. And it's always been a bit of a wrestle for me between the left hand and the right hand side of the brain between the analytical legal process side and the creative while slightly ragged side. Sometimes they complement one another, sometimes they contest the space and it's been underway in my head for as long as I can remember and it shows no signs of settling down so I have to get used to it. But whichever is prevailing at the time one of the things I have always tried to see is where the possibilities for action to make change lie. It's not enough to be able to make the declaratory statement about the need for change. We have an expression in our family that that's a sob though a statement of the bleeding obvious. It's the next step. There are possibilities for action to make the change lie and then when that's identified what can you do in concert with others to make that change happen. That's the goal or the task to try and do your bit with the tools that you have at hand to shape the world for the better understanding that no matter what the circumstances or how dire things might seem every single little bit actually helps. There are people in this room who've done that I know and there are many others outside this room right around the country and around our planet likewise who toil and who go unrecognised. And I'm more than aware that a publicly visible life is no more or less significant than any other life so consequently I'm acutely mindful that there's much more for me to do as well. So the honour that has been bestowed on me today I truly do appreciate and I'm grateful for it but hopefully it's going to strengthen my resolve and increase my determination to continue on with the task that I've set for myself with the many others that I've worked with in the past. Thank you very much.


The aim of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam made the peace and blessings of Allah SWT be upon you. Today we will continue our discussion regarding women in Islamic history. Today we will discuss the life of Sayyidah Khadija, alayhi salam. Islam did not rise except through Ali's sword and Khadija's wealth, a saying goes, Khadija Tulkubra, daughter of Khawailid bin Assad bin Abdul Uza ibn Qasay, belonged to the clan of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Banu Assad.  Qasay then is the ancestor of all the clans who belonged to Quraish.  According to a number of sources, Khadija was born in 565 A.D. and died 11 years after the Hijrah, the migration of the Holy Prophet and his followers from Mecca to Medina, which took place in 623 A.D. She was at the time 58 years old, but some historians say that she lived to be 65.  Khadija's father, who died around 585 A.D., belonged to the Abdul-Uza clan of the tribe of Quraish. Like many other Quraishis, she was a merchant, a successful businesswoman, whose fast wealth and business talents were inherited by Khadija and whom the later succeeded in faring with the father's wealth. They said that when Quraish's trade caravans gathered to embark upon their lengthy and arduous journey either to Syria during the summer or to Yemen during the winter, Khadija's caravan equaled the caravans of all other traders of Quraish put together. Although the society in which Khadija was born was terribly male chauvinistic, Khadija earned two titles, Amirah Quraish, Princess of Quraish, and Al-Tahra, the pure one, due to her impeccable personality and virtuous character, not to mention her honorable decent. She used to feed and clothe the poor, assist her relatives financially, and even provide for the marriage of those of her kin and who could not otherwise have had means to marry. Sayyida Khadija, peace be upon him, was a successful and esteemed businesswoman. She, peace be upon him, was born to a father who was a successful merchant in their Quraish tribe of Mecca. He inherited her father's skills in a time in history where society was male-dominated and dangerous. Upon her father's death, she took over the business and traded goods through the primary commerce centers at that time, from Mecca to Syria and to Yemen, hiring the most truthworthy men of character to brave the dangerous trade routes. Her business was larger than all of the Quraish trades combined and the most acclaimed with the reputation of fair dealing and high quality goods. She had a keen eye and was highly intuitive earning the moniker's, Emirat Quraish, Princess of Quraish, and Al-Tahra, the pure one, due to her stellar reputation. Khadija knew what she was doing, business-wise, never compromising her modesty or integrity to succeed in the male-dominated trades, hiring only those that could meet these standards. Khadija, the mother of Islam, was the first person on earth to accept Muhammad as the final prophet of God and accept the revelations that accumulated into the Holy Quran. She was greeted with salam, peace, by God himself as well as the angel Jibrail. She bequeathed her worldly goods and put herself in the face of danger to stand by the prophet Muhammad as Islam became established in the land. In Islam, whether rich or poor, one's financial condition is a test. Khadija gave her earnings to the poor and to the orphans, to the widows and the sick. She helped poor girls get married and provided their dowry. Khadija was one of the history's most remarkable women.  Khadija continues to inspire people to this day who revere her for taking great care of the Prophet of Islam and for showing the world through her behavior what a pious, modest, and courageous woman can accomplish. The example she left for mankind remains timeless. Regardless of all the men who proposed to Sayyida Khadija, she stood her ground and refused anyone who asked for her hand. This is because she believed no one deserved her. But following her meeting, the Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, she thought otherwise. Khadija was then convinced that she had finally found a man who was worthy of her, so much so that she initiated the marriage proposal herself. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, sat to detail all the business transactions in which he became involved on her behalf. But the wealthy and beautiful lady of Quraish was thinking more than about her distant cousin than about those transactions. Then she offered herself in marriage to him and they agreed that he then she offered herself in marriage to him and they agreed that he should speak to his uncles and she would speak to her uncle. Amr's son of Assad, since her father had died, it was Hamza, despite being relatively young, whom the Hashimids delegated to present them on this marriage occasion. Since he was most closely related to them through the clan of Assad, his sister Safiya had just married Khadija's brother Awam. It was Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle, who delivered the marriage sermon saying, all praise is due to Allah, who has made us a progeny of Ibrahim, the seed of Isma'een, the descendants of Ma'ad, the substance of Mudar, and who made us the custodians of his house and the servants of his sacred present. It was Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle, who delivered the marriage sermon saying, all praise is due to Allah, who has made us a progeny of Ibrahim, the seed of Isma'een, the descendants of Ma'ad, the substance of Mudar, and who made us the custodians of his house and the servants of his sacred present, making for us a house sought for pilgrimage and a shine of security. And he also gave us authority over the people. This nephew of mine, Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi assalam, cannot be compared with any other man. If you compare his wealth with that of others, you will not find him a man of wealth, for wealth is a vanishing shadow and a fickle thing. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is a man whose lineage you all know, and he has sought Khadija, daughter of Khawailad, for marriage, offering her such and such over the dowry of my own wealth. After his marriage, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, moved from his uncle's house to live with his wife and her house, which stood at the Smith's Market, an alley branching out of Metropolitan Mecca's long main bazaar behind the Masaa, the place where the pilgrims performed the seven circles during the Hajj or Umrah. In that house, Fatima al-Zahra, peace be upon him, was born, and the revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, many times. This house, as well as the one in which the Prophet of Asnam sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi was born, which stood approximately 50 meters northwards, were both demolished by the ignorant and fanarqa-wahabi rulers of Saudi and 1413 AH. The grave sites of many family members and companions of the holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasalam, were all demolished by the same Wahhabis in 1343 AH. Against the wish and despite the denouncation of the adherence of all other Muslim sects and schools of thought worldwide, the marriage was a very happy one, and it produced a lady who was one of the four perfect women in all of history of mankind, Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasalam. Before her, Qasim and Abdullah were born, but they both died at infancy. By the time Khadija got married, she was quite a wealthy lady, so wealthy that she felt no need to keep training and increasing her wealth.  The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had no desire to accumulate wealth. That was not the purpose for which he, peace be in blessings of Allah with him, and his progeny was created. He was created to be the savior of mankind, from the darkness of ignorance, idol worship, polytheism, misery, poverty, injustice, oppression, and immortality. He very much loved to mediate. He very much loved to meditate. Through his meditation, deepened his grief at seeing his society sunk so low in immortality, lawlessness, and the absence of any sort of protection for those who were weak and oppressed. Khadija's period of happiness lasted no more than 15 years after which her husband, now the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, started his mission to invite people to the oneness of God, to equality between men and women, and to an end to the evils of the day. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was 40 years old when the first verses of the Holy Qur'an were revealed to him. They were the first verses of Surah Al-Alaq, chapter 96, and they were revealed during the month of Ramadan, 13 years before the Hijrah, at the cave of Hira Ad-Jabal and Noor, the mountain of light, and his favorite place for isolation and meditation, a place which is now visited by many pilgrims. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, went back home heavy-hearted, profoundly perplexed, deeply impressed by the sight of the archangel, Jibrail, and by the depth of meaning implied in those beautiful words. And the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, proclaim, and the name of your Lord, and Chizer, who created everything. He created man of a mere clot, and congealed blood, proclaim, and your Lord is the most bountiful, who taught the use of the pen, who taught man that which he knew not. He felt feverish, so he asked to be wrapped, and once he felt better, he narrated what he had seen and heard to his faithful and supportive wife. By Allah had he just said, Allah shall never subject you to any indignity, for you always maintain your ties with those of your kin, and you are always generous in giving. You are diligent, and you seek what others regard as unattainable.   From this we can learn that Sayyidah Khadija, alaihi salam, was not only a successful businesswoman, but a successful wife as well. She stood by the Prophet's side the whole time during doubting him, without doubting him, and his message. Thank you for tuning in. Hope to see you next time.


How to get a bachelor's degree in mathematics education in as little as one year. That's what this video is going to be about and this is going to be done in this particular case by going to a school called WGU or Western Governors University. Now this is a competency-based education model which means that instead of making you go to school for four years, which by the way it's actually 5.1 years on average, they test you based on your competency. So if you are able to be competent in a certain subject because maybe you already have work experience or you just want to work really hard to get ahead then you can graduate much faster. Now there are other competency based universities that are very similar to WGU and they may have a degree that you're more interested in but in this particular video I am going to be using WGU as the example but with that being said these methods can be used at many other universities in a very similar way. And by the way these strategies and tactics that I'm going to talk about in this video in just a moment up until this series I've only shared with paid consulting clients right. So this is super valuable stuff people are saving like three to four years of their time they're saving tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars and on top of that they are saving a bunch of opportunity cost because during the time where your friends are going to school for four to five years to get their education degree you are going to be working and making money. And then on top of that this is one of those schools where you don't have to quit your job move across the country or anything like that you can do all of it from home in your free time. So if you appreciate me revealing this insanely valuable information go ahead gently tap that like button and let's jump into it right now. Alright so this is going to be a four step process and you really want to follow it step by step you don't want to deviate from this process or else it's going to take a lot longer. Now the first step is the least important step but it's something that you don't want to skip and that is you are going to go ahead and transfer in the existing credits that you already have. Now the reason you don't want to skip this step is because yes WGU does accept all of the usual stuff like AP, IB classes that you might have taken during high school, college credits, CLEP exams but they also accept certifications and certificates and in some cases they'll accept military experience or even work experience. So don't skip this step make sure you get your experience and your transcript and your resume together send that into WGU send it into your counselor and see what you can test out of and once you've done that they're going to go ahead and send you back a list of classes that you still need to take and at this point you are going to move on to step number two the most important step which is you are going to use third-party companies to test out of many of the remaining credits. Now there are tons of posts online that talk about how you can use this strategy so for instance here's one that talks about how you can transfer in 47 of the 122 credits that you need for this degree and by the way this particular mathematics education degree is for the middle grades right so this is designed for you to teach middle school education in mathematics so the reason that you are going to be using these third-party companies rather than just enrolling in WGU right off the bat is very simply because they are faster easier and cheaper so in many cases even if you're super busy you have a family full-time job etc using study.com for instance which is one of the third-party companies you can very easily test out of one class per week and if you're not as busy like many of the students I've worked with you can test out of something like one class per day or even more than that. Now my three favorite companies to use this process with are going to be inorder study.com then Sophia.org then straighterline.com those are the ones that I've just personally had the best experience with with helping people the least amount of you know problems like sometimes they've had you know issues like transferring stuff in or there's like a lot of glitches there's you know stuff like that on the website seems like study.com has their stuff together the most plus it just has a really good UI and it's just a good learning experience overall now some people take this process super seriously and they try to take like you know oh i'm going to take these three classes from straighterline and i'm going to take like these five classes from study.com and these five classes from Sophia and they get really strategic and you know maybe you can save yourself like 30 minutes or an hour here and there doing that but if you just want to keep things simple which is what i typically recommend you can just use study.com for most of them and then Sophia or straighterline for the ones that you don't need to use study.com for so here's an example of someone who commented about their experience going through this degree term one complete got to love wgu some courses took much longer than others but as a full-time mom of seven wgu allowed me to do what i thought was impossible 49 credit units down and degree is now 59 complete the future is bright so this person was able to knock out 49 credit units in one term which is about a six-month period typically that amount of credits would probably take you three to four semesters in a typical school so that would be about two years now another great thing about using these third-party companies like study.com is you don't have to buy a textbook you don't have to pay for any you know fancy extra stuff like i've had universities make me pay to buy a clicker so that i can take their weird quizzes during class i've had other universities that made me pay to buy some sort of like quiz bank and i had to pay like a hundred dollars just to be able to access quizzes in this online quiz bank and if you've been to colleges you probably know what i'm talking about they nickel and dime you they make you buy all this stupid stuff here and there and that's not a problem typically with these third-party companies like study.com or wgu now it can be a little bit difficult figuring out which classes you should take it like study.com or sofia or straighterline and which class is actually mapped to wgu so in this particular case what i did is i made a cheat sheet that is insanely easy to use it will tell you the exact class that maps to the exact class at study.com we'll get into that a little bit i'm actually going to jump into that sheet and go through a step by step example but just know that i put that in the pinned comment below as well as down in the description so you can check that out and you know look at it and follow along and oh by the way there are 39 classes you have to take in order to get this particular degree and once you've tested out of the classes that you can take using the third-party companies you're going to move on to step number three and that is you are going to pre-study the remaining classes now this is another step that a lot of people skip and i think it's a mistake and the reason people skip it in my opinion is a combination of you know the enrollment counselors kind of put pressure on people to enroll as fast as possible because obviously they make more money the sooner you enroll and then the second reason they skip it is just because it can be a little bit difficult figuring out the best resources to study for the classes before you actually enroll in WGU now the reason that you're going to start pre-studying these classes is because your goal is to graduate from WGU as fast as you possibly can and i think a really good goal for this particular degree is to graduate in one year that would be two terms each term is six months approximately and it costs somewhere between 3,400 to 4,000 dollars depending on the degree your goal here what you're aiming for is to graduate in two terms and the best way to possibly do this is to use two resources the first one is going to be the WGU subreddit and specifically you want to go to the subreddit for your specific degree that you are getting so there's like a main WGU subreddit and then there's typically going to be a subreddit for the specific degree you're going for and on these subreddits people will share tips tricks strategies etc on how to study for the classes and pass the test as quickly as possible and typically they will tell you the best resources to study for these classes that you can find either free or very cheap on the internet sometimes that might be a random youtube channel or it might be a random blog uh sometimes it might be something like Khan Academy there's also other really good resources on Udemy they're very cheap resources very cheap courses there there's free textbooks online there's paid textbooks that you can buy online if you're a physical textbook type of person you can order those on amazon for like 20 there's many different options here to find very affordable resources to pre-study and then the second place that i would recommend looking is the WGU Facebook groups so again same thing there's a main Facebook group and then there's Facebook groups for the specific degrees that you might be taking so definitely look for that and it's the same thing there they're going to share tips tricks strategies etc on how to pass these classes as quickly and efficiently as possible it's also a really good place to network now if you don't have as much time what i'd recommend doing is at least study the harder classes right at least pre-study those at the very least that is going to save you a ton of time and it'll probably end up saving you an entire term now once you feel confident go ahead move on to step four and this is where you will finally enroll in WGU and knock the remaining classes out as fast as you possibly can so this step is pretty self-explanatory you're going to go ahead contact the counselor tell them that you want to enroll you're going to enroll in WGU and knock the classes out super fast and it should be relatively easy because you've already pre-studied for them now this is a degree that realistically you can finish in around one year or so so two terms probably you know you could do like one term and then you finish like in the middle of the second term and again use those same resources the WGU subreddits as well as the WGU Facebook groups those can be great resources to get you know up-to-date awesome information from people who are in the trenches doing those degrees right now so here's an example for instance somebody was talking about you know how difficult is probability and statistics and it looks like free fall seven basically said that they were very intimidated by the course but they used Khan Academy to study for it and they even say specifically Sal on Khan Academy does a great job of teaching you how to think through problems rather than trying to memorize formulas and memorize all the different circumstances where you might use them right so that is a great resource they tell you exactly where to go to study for the class now let's go ahead and jump into the cheat sheet really quickly and I'll take you through this entire process step by step I'll give you an example of exactly what it would look like all right so now we are inside of the cheat sheet I'll just take you through it really quickly on the left here you're going to have the class ID the next column is going to be the class name at WGU then the amount of units in each class this column right here is the most important one and that is the classes at study.com that transfer into the classes at WGU so in this particular case you see here if you take English 104 at study.com which is SDCM 0057 that's the the code for it at study.com that will transfer in for English composition one at WGU now another thing that I will mention on here is I will try to keep these up to date and also if people want me to add in like Sophia and straighter line I can do that but I just thought it would honestly just kind of confuse people so I decided to just keep it as study.com but that being said I will potentially upload some more in the future and I might even do it where I kind of like do some research on this and figure out which of Sophia and straighter line have the easiest slash best classes because I know some people do like to really get in the weeds with the strategy there. Another thing I'll mention here is the green classes tend to be those are the general education classes they do tend to be a little easier the yellow classes are a little bit harder and then the red classes tend to be the hardest ones so just keep that in mind that's just generally speaking it's not always true and then also if you want to follow along here and do this with your own particular situation you can go ahead and go file make a copy and that will allow you to edit this so let's go ahead and move to step one which is you want to go ahead and transfer in all of your existing credits so in this particular case I'm just using this as an example of course let's say you took AP biology during high school and you also took AP math during high school so you were able to transfer both of those in and then you took a semester at your local state college you didn't really like it so you dropped out but you did get some credit and and so you took communications art and astronomy while you were there so you get credit for that so at this point we would move on to step number two which is the test out phase and at this point we would test out of all these so if you are in step one and for whatever reason you can't transfer anything in don't worry too much because it's only going to set you back maybe like I don't know a week or two because it's really easy to test out of these classes that you can test out of using study.com so and oh by the way I should probably mention this you can save 30% off your first three months with study.com using code Shane Hommis they were nice enough to give me a coupon code so you can do that as well if I have any other codes for these ones in the future I'll make sure to add them on as well so yeah you would go ahead test out of all the classes that you can test out of and then you'd move on to phase number three which is the remaining classes you would go ahead and pre-study them so you would pre-study these remaining classes using those resources that I talked about before the WGU subreddits and Facebook groups they will recommend the best resources to use and then once you feel confident you are going to move on to phase number four which is you're going to enroll and knock out the remaining classes as fast as possible and then at this point you can go ahead brag to your friends and family that you were able to finish an entire bachelor's degree in one year and if you're really nice you will send this video to them so that they can do the same for themselves. Now one thing I do want to say I get comments about this sometimes WGU is a great school but it's not perfect right there are always pros and cons to anything in life nothing is ever all pros and zero cons so you definitely want to do your research on WGU there are some downsides to it for instance it's completely remote if you are somebody who has a lot of trouble concentrating doing school work completely remotely maybe it's not going to be the best choice for you it's also a little bit limited when it comes to networking because you're not going to be in a physical class with other students that you can network with and I talk about a lot of the pros and cons in this video right here so I highly recommend that you check it out.
