the authors pick up the right research questions, right? So that's the very first thing. And there are like five different aspects to this thing that needs to be understood. First, I really need to have a clear understanding of what is the core research question that's getting addressed, right? And that should be very clear to me right in the beginning, right? I should not, you know, that should not be fuzzy or hazy, so to say. The second thing, the second question that I would be asking when I'm reviewing is are the research questions compatible with the agenda of the event, or the agenda of the journal, you know, or the agenda of the special issue, whatever that is. So every journal or every conference proceeding, every conference would have their own scope. So is it compatible? Is it aligning with the scope, right, of the venue? That's the second question that needs to be understood. Then comes the third question, which is that are the research questions still relevant to the, you know, to the community to which this particular scholarly communication is going to be done, which means the people who are actually going to read this research and then develop further ideas on top of it, right? So are the research questions still relevant to the community? Are the community, will the community really be interested in reading or understanding or dwelling on this, on the research questions? Then question number four, which is really, really important for, at least for me at a personal level, are the research questions intrinsically difficult to address? Because if the research question is not intrinsically difficult to address, then probably it doesn't have that much of, you know, it's not really a research problem, so to say, and probably that's not something that might attract a good amount of attention from the community, right? So that's question number four. And then the final question is, how many researchers are up to the task? Like how many researchers will actually be researching on those research questions? You know, in terms of the size of the community. Now, don't get me wrong, you know, in certain disciplines, actually, a smaller number is good, you know, especially, you know, if you look at humanities and certain kinds of social science problems, you know, it's actually the uniqueness of the research question that draws more attraction, that draws more eyeballs, right? So to say, while in other kinds of disciplines, if you look at engineering, computer science, and these sort of mathematical, applied mathematical sciences, you'll see that, you know, the bigger the size of the community, the better it is, you know, so it can vary, but this question is still important to ask, depending upon which discipline you are in, the size of the community who would be interested once the people is published. So that's so far so to wait when it comes to step zero, which is just trying to understand the research question from these five different perspectives. Then the first step, which is checking the consistency, the validity and the positioning of the approach or the way you are addressing the research question, right? So you need to validate the content constructively. First of all, the word constructively is very important because at the end of the day, you are reviewing, and your responsibility as a reviewer is to give constructive criticism so that the researchers can actually improve upon that work and submit at a later time in a much better way, right? So that ultimately the community gains from that research, right, so essentially it's a community service at the end of the day, we are all doing voluntary reviewing, primarily. So check for the inconsistencies and the argumentation, you need to check for the validity of the citations used as supportive evidence because a lot of times what happens is that somebody might be using a citation as an evidence to support a particular claim. So we need to check whether that is really true or to what extent that is true, whether that has been misrepresented or that has been misunderstood by the authors, you know, a lot of times it may not be intentional as well, but that has been half understood, you know, and has, you know, not the full truth has been revealed or something like that, quite enough, but I think, advertently, it might happen so, but we need, as responsible reviewers, we need to understand that part, right? The third thing is to check the validity of the originality of the claims, like if somebody is, there are multiple claims that can span across the entire manuscript, and we need to, at every point of time, we need to first quickly identify those claims, that's number one, and then try to understand to what extent the claims are original, you know, whether there are other words out there that sort of resembles the claims, you know, whether other people have already claimed these things or, you know, to what extent, you know, and then to use those references as a part of our review and to make the authors aware about it because there's also our responsibility as reviewers to make the authors aware about all of those works which they should be looking into, right? And finally, check if the author, if the work has been positioned comprehensively against all the other previous relevant research works, right? So that's pretty much how it goes when it comes to consistency, validity checking and positioning checking, right? So that's step number one. Then step number two is going to be a check for the methodological rigor, which means whatever approach you are taking, you know, in order to address the research question, in order to establish your claim, all the different steps that you have taken, all the different methods that you have taken, qualitative, quantitative, whatever that is, all the arguments that you are making, you know, to justify your narrative, to justify your claim, to what extent you are providing all the required supporting evidences, right? So essentially what it would mean is that you need to check whether all the arguments are backed by authentic and authoritative facts. So not just authentic, but it needs to be authoritative also. So both the things, right? So A, whether, which would imply that whether there are missing citations and so on and so forth, right? Or if the citation is the game, you know, goes back to the previous discussion that whether if the citations are, if somebody cited somebody, if the author cited somebody, then whether the citations are really authentic or an authoritative as well, right? Then the second thing is that, is the right kind of sampling in, you know, if it is an experimental science, you know, or whether if it is some sort of the results that you are trying to provide and establish the claim by providing those results, you know, if that has gone through a particular kind of experiment, then whether the sampling has been done in the right way, whether there is any bias in the experimental setup itself, right? And sometimes you might also want to look at whether there is the right kind of time regularity has happened and this happens a lot. These are important points to understand when you are working in biomedical domain or medical domain and so on and so forth or clinical trials and so on and so forth. So are all the experiments conducted with an appropriate controlled environment? And this is also true even for a lot of social science experiments as well, right? So you need to make sure that, you know, all these things are all okay. Is the result or the finding analysis that you are doing, you know, or the method that you are taking in order to get those results out, whether they are acceptable in the community and whether they are comprehensive enough, right? So which means that are the results incomplete or, you know, which means that you are leaving out certain kind of results and if you leave out those results, then what happens is that you won't be able to support your claim that well, which means the claims that the authors are making in the paper, or do they have the right kind of support or are they suffering from incomplete support, right? So that's what it means that the minimum amount of results that are required to support that claim, whether that's there or not in the paper, right? Then do the results satisfy the acceptable position or the acceptable, you know, accuracy or, you know, depending upon, of course, depending upon the discipline that you are in. So sometimes the results, accuracy has to be understood properly by using the right kind of measures, you know, which would make us understand that whether those results can be acceptable or not, right? And then finally, are the figures and tables all there, you know, are they truly supporting the claim or not, right? And also at the same time, are the authors in the, you know, whoever has written the manuscript, have they properly explained the tables and the figures, have they used the tables and the figures or interpreted the tables and the figures in the right way or not, and are they supporting their claim in the right way by using those figures and tables, right? So these are the kind of thing that would sort of help you to figure out to what extent the approach is sound, to what extent the approach is rigorous, right? So that's sort of the thing that we need to check in step two. By the way, keep putting your questions in between and let me know if I'm going quick so that I can get back to those questions after I finish. So now all of this is sort of, as you can imagine, and it's not easy task, like, you know, starting from your step zero to your step one, to your step two. So you need to be paying a lot of attention. You also need to remember a lot of all the stuff that you have already read, all the papers that you're reading at a detailed level, not just at an upper level, at a surface level, but you really need to, if you really want to do good justice to all these steps, then you have to make sure that you have everything on your tips. So the big thing, the big challenge is how do you keep up with the state of the art literature, right? And even if you are keeping up with the state of the art literature, how do you make sure that you remember all the details of what you are consuming almost every day, right? So the first thing, usually what we do, how we do, let's look at the status quo. So we, for researching, we are collecting and reading about, we keep doing that. That's also part of our own research, right? Not just about the review. We do a lot of literature review on the current research as far as the topic and what we can do while we are reviewing a particular people. We will look at the research topic or the research problem and be true. We will try to look at probably Google Scholar or PubMed and try to go through all those different types of databases to figure out if there's something similar in terms of evaluating the novelty or the originality of the study, right? And periodically, we are also going to review certain core channels in the field to keep us updated, right? So that's pretty much standard practice that we all follow. And many times, especially in many different places, even with PubMed, Google Scholar, many of the search databases, you can actually keep alerts like article alerts for topics relevant to probably the management that's under review. So that's one way of doing it. And probably that's the kind of way in which many of us are actually working on it out currently. There are other, you know, more specific ways of how you can actually, you know, improve your search strategies for locating articles, like, you know, you can do keyword-specific search to find important peoples for that might help you to evaluate and validate the claims. You can use a lot of different types of filters and limits to optimize the search results. You can select specifically those sources that are most relevant to the manuscript under review. One approach can be that you just stick to the kind of journals that are very closely associated with the journal or the conference where this paper has been submitted. You know, which means where you are reviewing. And you can, you then have to like summarize and you have to critique and you have to compare all these sources in order to access the manuscript with integrity, right? So there's a lot of work and a lot of cognitive load. Let's put it that way. So with millions of PODP papers published annually worldwide, you know, this task is to say the list is quite challenging, but we still sort of in some way managed to do it.  That's the major problem. Even if you can find the peoples, let's say in our own way, but the biggest challenge is how do we remember all the details out there, right? And how do we connect it with the people that we are currently revealing, right? So that's one thing. The second thing is that there are so many checklists. You know, step number zero, step number one, step number two, there are so many checklists out there is a huge cognitive load, right? And how can we do all of that when we have our own research and we just don't have that much time, right? We have not just the research, we have students supervision, perhaps if we have professors or faculty, or if you are into corporate research, then we have many, many other responsibilities that comes together, you know, even, you know, there's other kind of academic services like committee services and so on and so forth. So there's so many, so much going on in life, right? So if you really have to do, and if we are given like three, four, five papers to review, and if you have to do all the steps, zero, step one and step two in details, that's quite challenging, right? So this is our attempt to figure out that whether we can build something for you that can actually help you in delivering high quality reviews in very less time, you know, by reducing the time. So it's kind of like paradoxical, right? But then that's what is the holy grail, that's what is going, right, with review assistant. So how to do it? I mean, before, I just want to show you the webpage where you can actually get the, so this is a raster.io and you can just go to review assistant and this is the whole page and for all of you, you get a one year free access of usage, you know, if you're an early adopter. So just get the early access and with the code of PRW21, you can get an image of it today only. You don't have to go and get into a wait list. So this is the webpage and once you enter into the thing, this is how it looks like. So this is where you start the review process. So it all starts with a new review. You can create a review. There will be a button, something like this, new review. And once you've made the new review, it will ask you for certain details. So what we'll do, you first need to type the, you know, type of reviews. You will first need to add the journal title, the description and certain tags. You can give certain tags. So in type of review, you can click and it will ask you whether it's a journal, whether it's a conference, whether it's a clinical trial or whether it is some other kind of technical manuscript that you need to review, right? Once you do that, then you can put some descriptions and the tag depending upon what you chose will come automatically over here. Then in the second step, depending upon what you chose, if you chose a journal, then it will ask you what's the volume, what's the issue, the year and the submission portal, which means from where actually you've got those, that can be manuscript central scholar one, that can be other kind of author one, that can be other, all of these different places where you might be getting those manuscripts to review. If it is a conference, there's a lot of other easy chair and all of those, you know, portals where you would be getting those papers to review, right? So that's the link, you can put that. There's an interesting thing over here, you can actually set the review deadline and it behaves like a reminder for you and will keep on, you know, you can actually put a reminder for yourself or put a deadline for yourself for this thing or if it's a conference and it will ask for the venue, the year and again, all of these things for other kind of stuff, so it will just ask the year and the submission portal, right? So, and then you create the new review and once you create the new review, what will happen is you will see this sort of stuff coming up. So you see all your reviews in one place. So as this is just examples, so you can have such sort of reviews like this and that this is by the way, this is a conference that you imagine and this is a journal and so all your journals together with the deadlines and, you know, the deadline will turn red and there will be an email notification once you are like three days prior to that deadline and so on and so forth. So whatever deadline you set. So by default, the deadlines will be like 90 days. So three months, because in any case, you have to submit in practically all journals, you need to submit your review within three months. So by default, every review will have a deadline of 90 days. After that, it anyways goes really only. So, and you can edit the details, you know, from these three buttons, sort of that's pretty standard you are used to Google products then you would be using such things. Once you're inside a product, I mean, inside a review, you need to add the submission or the manuscript, right? And you do that by clicking on the add submission and then you need to upload the period. Like, so which means from wherever you are getting the manuscripts to be reviewed, you need to download it and then upload it over here, right? So that's kind of like the alpha version for you. We are trying to see how we can actually, you know, partner with all these different publishers and journals so that we can make it a seamless one button, big sort of things which immediately imports all your submissions in this space. But let's see how it goes. For now, you can upload the video from your computer, right? Imagine that I have these four papers to review. So these reviews, the submissions of these manuscripts are going to come over here once I upload them. And I can also see, you know, the decisions over here, what kind of decisions I have made as a reviewer and what are the decisions that are still pending, right? I can put time or specific time to specific submissions as well saying that, okay, I need to get this review done by next week, Tuesday or something like that. I can do that as also over here. And so this is kind of like my list of manuscripts. So that's the submissions. And then if I click on any one of these peoples is going to open the review room, which is the place where I will be actually doing my review. So what I do is this, when I click on any one of these papers, I would end, this paper will open up into like a reader mode. And this is how it will look like. And you can of course navigate from here. That's pretty standard. If you, again, you're using stuff like Google Drive and this is pretty standard. And then you have on the right hand panel over here, you have all this information, the tabs and the references, figures, tables, submission scorecard. And this will reflect if it is a conference, then it will be something like access or online reject. If it is journal, then it would be like revision, major revision, minor revision and so on. We'll get to that. Now, so these are the different things, the title, your review, the type, the abstract, you can look at the abstract or video and this is the submission score that allows you for a much better organization of your decisions. And you can go back to your decisions and change your decisions as well. Great. So now comes the interesting part. So the first thing that you probably want to do is to validate maybe of the comprensiveness of the citations of this paper, right? So this paper might have cited a lot of different things so you need to figure out whether there are other very important papers out there that should have been cited, you know, to what extent the citations of this paper is comprehensive, right? That may be the starting point. So what you can do is over here, there's something called Explore Related. And when you click on it, you'll see this banner. And you can look for research papers in terms of related research, similar research questions, survey papers which are related to this problem statement. And there are some other complementary resources that might help you to quickly figure out what a particular concept is. If you are not aware of that particular concept or if the concept is very not very popular, you know, a technical concept that's not very popular and you want to quickly try to understand what that is. So you can actually look up the media and lectures or video lectures on this specific topic or even, you know, technical articles from top notch places, you know, like MIT Tech Review or other kind of tech report and blogs and so on and so forth like Scientific American and all of that, Nature and all of that, right? So, and then, you know, if you have, if we can help you in partnering with your university, then you can also have the university or resources available for you which might include books, e-books, thesis and maybe other kind of research papers that are connected to your university library which are subscribed by your university library. So this can also come provided we, you know, we help you partner, with your help we can partner with your university. So now, once you click on, let's say related research or similar research question, you will have all these sort of results coming up which are specific to what you click and then what happens is that you will find something called actual literature. So it means that imagine that you are, you want to figure out whether this is the people that should have been cited by the authors. Then you can add it to literature and it gets added to some specific place and gets also attached with this manuscript. Then you can later on go back to the people and read the people and figure out whether certain things should have been taken into consideration by the authors of the manuscript. So you can easily find figure out what are all the different things going on. You can filter it in terms of year and all of that. So I've not shown you the different types of filters that you can do, but you can filter in terms of years, year, interval, shorter. You can also, a lot of times you can see other kind of metadata as well like impact factor and so on and so forth and citation comes and so on and so forth, right? And once you click on after literature, then there will be a section to be here or related literature just under submissions where all your related references which you might want to use in your final review as you are addressing the authors will be all organized over here, right? So that's a good way in which you can sort of like validate and later on you can actually look into them and I will show you something called summary. You can use the summary to actually very quickly skim through them, skim through these papers because a lot of times we don't really have the time to read all of these papers because we are, that's the deal, like we are actually facing the time crunch. So we can actually look into the summary of each papers in which we are collecting and then we can quickly write a comment when we are writing the review of the manuscript, right? So another way to understand, another thing to understand is the references that are out there that actually the authors have used to what extent they are good references or whether they have been used in the right manner or not. If they have been used as supporting evidences then whether that's to what extent that usage is correct. So what you can do again, you can go click on references over here and all the references will come up again just similar, very, very similar to the results cards and you can then add full literature and again it goes and gets added to the literature, right? If you don't have enough time to read all of these people that you're adding on in order to validate because as I said, then you can use summarized. So by clicking on summarized over here in the related literature, so all the people that are getting collected, you can then click on summarized and it will give you a section-wise summary. I will show you that which can very, very quickly help you in figuring out whether the references have been used in the right manner or not or whether there are other references that should have been used based on authors missed, right? So this is sort of the way this is the place where everything keeps getting collected. But at the same time when you do add to literature over here, it also gets attached with that particular manuscript also. So it gets added over here broadly, but it also gets added attached with that particular manuscript like satellites, so to say. So when you get back to the manuscript again and you can click on attached and you can see all of those papers which you added to literature related to that particular specific manuscript, right? So now comes though, you know, how to quickly focus on the key aspects of our paper. So there are two ways of doing it. One, as I said, was in the review room over here, there are certain tasks. So where you have the summary of the key insights and then you have the review which ultimately will be reviewing the paper. So inside the summary now, this is something which is very interesting. It is very different than a normal standard summary that you would find. So what we did was we actually summarized the different sections of the paper. We did not skip the sections of the paper. Why? Because a lot of times you might want to look at a specific aspect of the paper and then quickly figure out what that, what is the key aspect over there? What's the key contribution, perhaps, of the claim or what actually the authors are trying to establish in that particular section, right? So it's a section-wise summary. That's kind of the interesting thing we'll be hearing. Very, very quickly scan or click on the outline in a particular section and then the section will come up, pop up and you can just read that particular section, right? Or there's another interesting thing. You can actually access the specific arguments. That's called key insights. So if you click on the inside, what happens is instead of the summary, it coalesced all the different narrative arguments like let's say research goal, claimed novelty, speculations, assumptions, comparisons and all of that into different buckets, so to say. And all the key claims or statements made by the authors are all collated together within that argument. And you can specifically go to that section and you can quickly figure out, you know, like what's the research goal or what's the research context or what's the possible originality and so on and so forth, right? What's the supportive arguments and so on and so forth, right? So that's a very, very quick way of skimming through the people. There are two different ways of skimming through the people very quickly to figure things out or to actually focus to specific aspects of the people if you want to do that of the manuscript. So now comes the, you know, the validating the key aspects. So you've got the, you know, so this is very quick way of finding the key aspects or focusing to the narrowing down to the key aspects and then how do you validate the key aspects? So one way is that you can actually select less than possible originality and you want to validate this statement. To what extent this is original?  So what you can do is you can select this particular statement and this pop-up, this context menu is going to come up. And then what you can do is you can click on research papers. You can click on this. And then when you click on this related research papers, all the papers related to this particular selection are going to pop up over here. By the way, just to help you understand, we have currently indexed more than 117 million research paper abstracts and somewhere around 50, 60 million open-access full-text research papers. So there's plenty of stuff that we are indexing every day and maybe it's from 2,000 to 4,000 research papers that we keep indexing every day, right? And we have partnerships with many different data partners including Crossref and Unplayable and all. So these are the things that we are, that's kind of like the source that we are using to get you all these results, right? So once you find the results and if you again want to figure out and whether that people really talks about this thing or to what extent it is closed and so on and so forth, so that you can make a very, very nice detailed comment about this statement, then you can staple it. Now, people ask pretty much like a sticky note. So what happens when you staple it? It gets tapered with that particular statement and then you can click on this particular statement and you will be able to see that reference which is tapered with this particular statement. Now, this is something which helps you to organize again your reference articles in a much, much better way so that you don't forget. You can again come back maybe even a week later or two weeks later and actually write a very nice review because you haven't forgotten the context within which you discovered all these references, right? So that's the beautiful thing about it. Finally, here you will be writing the review and you can actually do the, write the review in your own way or you can write the review according to the template that's prescribed by the particular journal or by the particular conference and you can copy paste. I can paste that template over here and start writing your review and then finally copy it all and then it all gets copied in the clipboard and then you can paste it wherever you want to submit the review, right? So a lot of times you might want to drop your opinions and your insights and questions and suggestions in something called working notes. So if you have new thoughts, new ideas or new questions if you just want to do something like a thought journaling then you can always read these working notes and you can put your ideas or your thoughts over there as we can see. Also, sometimes you might want to link up other kind of external references that may be some code or that may be some images or anything so to say, videos or maybe recordings or something like that which you might want to refer to the authors back in your review that these are the things that you might want to check out or see and so on and so forth. So that comes under repository. And so that's pretty much like how you would want to like go about it. One important thing that I want to share with you is that whatever I did over here you can do the same thing on the research paper also. So you can actually select any paragraph, any section of the paper and the moment you select that you get to see the same context menu and then you can click on all of this thing and you can use select and explore which is you select that particular selection section and then you can explore all the people's relationships that particular specific section, right? Of course, within the context of the paper or the manuscript. So now the finishing touch that would be your step three. So you need to check the structural and narrative flow and something that I see often because I do a lot of reviewing myself. So does the manuscript suffer from forward referencing? By forward referencing more definitely and this is also for researchers, research students who are watching this. Forward referencing is that you are using certain concepts or certain ideas or certain technique which you to explain something but then that concept of that idea or the technique has not been explained before. So this explain not later in the people. So let's say that you are trying to explain a particular thing in page number three using something else and that something else has been explained or introduced in page number seven. So that's forward referencing and that's very, very problematic from a reading point of view and that's something that you should try to minimize as much as possible, right? So we need to check all the stuff. Does the manuscript lack risk and complete descriptions or definitions of key concepts? Does the manuscript lack of formal tone? The formal tone that is expected in the specific community. Does the manuscript suffer from repetitive narration? So that's another thing that we need to focus on. And then finally, certain ornamental stuff like is the manuscript compliant with the required type setting and citation standardization for some for certain kinds of disciplines that may not be required but for many other disciplines is something which is very important and probably as a reviewer you might be responsible for checking this as well. So after that, when you finish your review you can get the score card. So essentially this is the score card over here in the info panel on the right-hand side of your review room where you are actually reviewing the paper. And whatever you select over here that gets reflected automatically in your list in your submission list. So you can easily check it out what kind of decisions you made for each one of those submissions. So this is how it looks like. You know, it can be strong, accept, be upset, depends upon, you know whether it is a revision then whether it is a minor revision or a major revision or a strong reject or big reject and so on. You can actually take your decision and then later on you can also change if you want to change your position. So let's review with regard but also with empathy. Now this is very, very important that at the end of the day we should not forget that we are doing it as a service to the community and we are doing it for the betterment of research and for the betterment of the researchers who are submitting the paper. So start reviewing with review assistance, this is the website and if you want to quickly, you know this is a code that you need to use and you need to get access because of the review that we are having. Thank you, Professor Dasgupta for such a wonderful and informative session. We are now open to take questions. We request all the attendees to kindly send us their queries using the question tab in the control panel. Okay, we have a few questions already. So the first question is, is the software freely available or have to purchase? So it's freely available. This review assistance is freely available for one year and because we want to get as much of your comment and your feedback as possible and if you wanna know, if you sign up early then you get it free for one year, definitely. All right. The next question is, a characteristic of poorly written paper is that they bring many unrelated ideas within sections. Would the section-wise summary algorithm detect this? Right now, no. I mean, this is something that's really, really interesting and it can be a very, very interesting research problem for us or the rat state. But right now, it won't be able to detect those things but it will at least be able to bring your attention to those unrelated things. It's very clear to you that these are unrelated. All right. The next question is, how do you deal with confidentiality of uploaded materials? So as you could see, I don't know whether you guys noticed it. First of all, there is no sharing capability. You can't share the manuscript with anybody. That's number one. Number two is whatever you are uploading is completely secure. We follow the standard GDPR and system EPA practices that we actually have. So anything and everything that you are putting in our server is all secured in secure containers. And that's not revealing. In fact, we don't even allow you to share that with anyone as far as the review manuscript is concerned. And it's all in picture and all. Also, your own reviews, you can actually, if you think that that's sort of like a contribution because that is a contribution. You can actually timestamp it with creative common copyright licenses that you can actually put over there as well. So that will make sure that, okay, this is something that is there. But this is something that's kind of quite interesting because right now, what do you do? Like, somewhere you are downloading it and somewhere you are uploading it and even you are reading it as a hard copy. So it's out there, it's not inside that submission portal. So the responsibility is with us, definitely. But the software makes sure that it doesn't get leaked in any way to anybody else. Right. The next question is for how long this tool will be accessible for free? I think it is already answered. Yeah, one year minimum one year. And we are trying to see how we can actually help you, but feel free to put your comments on what you feel for and so on and so forth, right? We haven't really figured out because there's a lot, I think there's a lot of things that there's a lot of feedback that will come from you. And if you help us to make like polish up the product a lot better. So right now we are focusing on that. All right, the next question, are you planning to make review assistant linked with Publons and Orkid or Research Gateway? Yes, we are. And that's the idea that it becomes like a seamless import and export of your review as well in the format of that particular journal or conference. So yeah, if it can do in Publons because Publons is like open review or openreview.net or even in close review, we want to do all of those things. So definitely these are the kind of feedback and these are the kind of ideas that we want from other people. Will review assistant help in references? References in what sense if I'm understanding it correctly then yeah, as I showed you that you are getting all the references that you're getting to validate whether those references are used in the right way or not by clicking on the summary of those references and quickly figuring it out. And also you are seeing whether there are other research papers that are really, really closely or very important key papers that are missed by the authors as well which are not a part of the references. If you select specific aspects of the paper and then search for the research papers. So I hope I got it correctly. If I did not get it correctly, please repose your question then it will be better. All right. After the first year, how much would the subscription be? Any estimation? Not yet decided. So we actually want to make sure that you start loving it. And but one thing I can tell you that if you really want to, if you really love it then it's not going to be true. That's something that we can share but we have just no clue right now. All right. When you say review, do you refer to a review paper? I can potentially write about a field or I am giving a review to a journal article as a reviewer. So it can be a journal article. It can be a conference article because in certain disciplines, you know even conferences are being reviewed. It can be clinical trial. It can be any kind of tech reporting. It can be a review on which you are getting a major review. So it can be a systematic review which you are trying to review. So it depends, you know, what kind of, so you can, and the summary actually the summarizer or the key incisor, it actually is able to understand, you know, what's the category of the manuscript and then tries to summarize it that way. So hopefully I'm in it.  The next question is, what extra precautions should be taken to get published in Q1 journals? So look at it, you know, I always look at, you know, so if you were a research student or a researcher, look at it from, you know, once you have written your first draft, try to put yourself from a reviewer's point of view and whatever I've shown you, step zero, step one, step two. Now think of yourself as a reviewer, you know, and try to be very, very critical about your own draft and then you will see that there are, these are all the, you know, precautions to say, like what are the strict steps, you know, if you're writing to a, if you're actually submitting to a very, very good place, then definitely the reviewers are going to try at least make a very honest attempt to look into all the checklist, then step zero, step one, step two, right? So you need to make sure that everything is correctly done. Then you need to give it to your lab mates and, you know, let them do the same thing and then go to your supervisor probably and get that done. But it should pass on a certain number of hands before you actually submit. But these are the checklists. It's nice to have such a checklist or a template. All right, the next question is, how do you export the review when finished? Yeah, so this is something that again, we're trying to work with different, you know, journal editorials and publishers and all to, you know, just one click of a button, it again goes back into the thing. But right now what you can do is you just can copy all, there was a button called copy all, and it gets copied into your click board and then you just paste it wherever you want to submit. That's how it is in this alpha version. But we are trying hard to talk. Yeah, I've already started a lot of discussions with many top journal and publishers to see how we can actually do it in nicely in their workflow. The next question is, did you use any NLP tools to create the model? And if so, what problems did you face? Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of NLP, a lot of machine learning, different techniques, you know, not just one technique, not just deep learning, not just, there's a different types of techniques that have been used. Like as an example, the suggestions come now from, you know, we use a certain kind of reinforcement Q learning framework to give you the suggestions. The retrieval that is happening is based on certain kind of, you know, core concept extraction and argumentation mining, so to say to figure out what, and to understand it more from a contextual point of view. Like what are the different context in which this particular term is coming and what, you know, so if you're looking for one particular concept, similar concepts or related concepts are going to pop up as well. So it's not just keyword based. And for the summary, we use a particular kind of, you know, machine learning based attention modeling technique where we try to make the summarizer, you know, keep pointing to the different important statements of the people and then try to figure out which ones have the most information content and also diversity, you know, because we need coverage also. We don't need to show you, we cannot show you stuff that are very statements that are quite similar to each other. So we need to have good coverage as well. So optimizing the information content while also mentioning the diversity. So that's kind of like how we are trying to work with the summarizer and the key insights is pretty much similar, but there is an additional layer where we are also trying to classify the arguments, right? And then try to figure out within those arguments which are the key statements again, to that point of mechanism. And the attention is pretty much inspired by certain kind of vision learning model. So that's sort of the thing that's going on behind the scene. So there are different techniques for different styles, you know, so starting from Q-learning which is being closely learning to, even, you know, a lot of deep learning techniques, shallow learning techniques, argumentation winding techniques, vision learning techniques, different things. Any other question? Hello, am I all you do? Hello. Yes, you're all right. Yes, there's one last question about the pricing. If an institution gets access to it by paying the fee, does it mean that it could tell all their reviewers to use it? In other words, would it be free for reviewers who belong to a certain institution? Yeah, I mean, if they find enough interest at an institutional level or even at a lab level or we don't know, then it becomes free for everyone. All right. Thank you so much, Professor Das Gupta. Our attendees have certainly gained a lot of critical information from this session. We would once again like to thank all the attendees for joining the webinar.

The Delta State government says it has not received the £4.2 million recovered from a former Governor James C. Burry returned by the United Kingdom government. The government made this known in a statement issued by Ulisa Ifyadika, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ifai Okowa in Asaba. The accountant general of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, had announced on Tuesday before the House of Representatives Committee on Recovered Assets in Abuja that the funds had been released to the state. The Delta State government also assured the federal government that the residents or rather and residents that the funds would be judiciously deployed, especially in the completion of projects when received.


Novak Djokovic versus Kasper Rudd is our second semi-final of the Rome Masters, and both players have had to fight to get to the semi-finals. The number one seed Djokovic had a buy in the first round.  His third round opponent was countryman Kryanovich, who had beaten him in an exhibition tournament on the clay. But Djokovic got through that one pretty easily 7-6-6-3. His quarter-final was against qualifier Kopfer, and for some reason Djokovic didn't look like himself. But as champions do, he gets through with a scrappy 3-set match. 6-3-4-6-6-3. The only unseeded player left in the draw, Kasper Rudd has looked very impressive this week. His first round was against the 11th seed Hashinov, and after losing the second set, he wins in 3-6-3-3-6-6-1. His second round was against local hope Sonigo, and again Rudd looked very impressive, winning in straight sets 6-3-6-4. The third round was against Grand Slam champion Marin Chilich, and again Rudd looked impressive, winning in straight sets 6-2-7-6. And then by far the most impressive we've seen Rudd this week was in the quarter-finals against number 4 seed Beratini. And after dropping the first set, Rudd regrouped and ended up winning in a tight one 4-6-6-3-7-6. These players have not played before, and going by their last rounds, Djokovic needs to recover here. Rudd is full of confidence, and he's good on the clay. He loves playing on the red dirt, and Djokovic can't put in an effort like he did in the quarter-finals, otherwise Rudd is going to cause a major upset. I think this one goes the distance, but I'm going to go with Djokovic, based on his experience at this level of tournament. Let me know in the comments down below, who do you think is going to win, and what do you think the score is going to be?


تسمى طبال العدي إذا قد نمى فالخير وفير وانسرمى ينجل مأثوم من الناري كلا وأشهر أن سيدنا وعظيمنا وحبيبي قلوبنا النبي المؤيد والرسول المسدد والمصطفى الأمجد والمحمود الأحمد أبيبي إله العالمين أبي القاسم محمد صلوات الله وسلامه عليه وعلى آل بيته طيبين الطاهرين سفن النجاة العلام مركبة سفينتهم نجا ومن تخلف عنها هليكة وغرق ثم أما بعد رحمة الله وبركاته قد نحن نتحدث عن الوصول على نفسنا ونحن لا نستطيع أن نتحدث ونشاء الله سوف نفعل نفسنا أفضل جيدا لكي نتخلق هذه الأمر وكي نتخلق لكي نستطيع أن نتخلق الأفضل لكي نتخلق as many parts as possible within the next two days that we have The Imam says The right of your soul upon you is to completely employ it in the obedience of Allah Hence you must grant your tongue, your hearing your sight, your hand, your foot and your private part, their rights and upon which you seek assistance from Allah يعني to be able to be in a position to give each and every one of these parts their due rights always first and foremost seek assistance from Allah سبحانه وتعالى to keep you on the right track and to be able to understand and appreciate first and foremost the blessing of Allah in giving you these parts and secondly how you can maintain them according to what Allah سبحانه وتعالى wants from you not to what your own inclination dictates to you to do in that regard because people are often of the opinion especially in the west and fortunately there is a predominant way of thinking that as long as I am a free person I can do anything I want even when it comes to my body I can do anything I want with it I can destroy it I can burn it I can piece it I can tattoo it I can whatever I want I can do because it's my body and because I am free then I can do as I please but the fact is otherwise because that body is not entirely yours it does not belong to you it belongs to its creator Allah سبحانه وتعالى you have only been granted temporary trust chip over your body while you are in this imagine if someone comes back on the day of judgment after Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given him a beautiful body and he has abused that body to such an extent that it will not be recognized when it comes out why? because the Prophet سبحانه وتعالى says what a person shall be resurrected on the day of judgment on the state he dies on so whatever state you die on you will be resurrected on the day of judgment on the same state so for example I tell my students sometimes when they come back home I tell them if you die while dancing on the disco floor trust me you are going to come back shaking you know you will be resurrected on the day of judgment singing so you can imagine your sight on the day of judgment when everyone is afraid and everyone is seeking the intercession of the Prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and seeking the intercession of the Melaika and the intercession of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and you are on the day of judgment singing against Allah while on the other hand imagine we had a brother by the name I think is Ahmed Rada or something he's a coach from here from Pakistan he used to live in New Zealand he built a beautiful center and he helped build a beautiful center for the community on the eve of the opening of that center he told everyone look you've been tired go home I will clean up so he stayed and it was so he said when it's time you come and pray with me they came on that day they found him dead in Sejda in Sejda they entered the mosque and he was dead in Sejda so the Prophet says what everyone will be resurrected on the state he dies on so this man will be resurrected from his grave on what state in Sejda this person when he comes out of his grave the Melaika sees him in Sejda what they gonna do with him they gonna ask him who's your God I'm already in Sejda to God who's your Prophet there's no even an Ayyota of questioning where this person is going to end up in or what he's going to do or even when he's laid in his grave for example and the Melaika will come to him and ask him and will ask him who is your God who is I remember a story that one of the people at the time of the Prophet he the Prophet was teaching them about the questioning of the angels you know the two angels they will come they will sit you up they will ask who's your God who's your Prophet who's your Imam what do you so this person said to the Prophet يا رسول الله will I be in the same state I am in now I will have my conscious in the same way you are talking to us now the Prophet said yes he said then by Allah if they come to ask me I will ask them I will tell them then who's your God you're coming to ask me I'm a mu'min I know who's my God you tell me who's your God so imagine if you have reached that level of faith and the Melaika that every single Mawlana under the sun scares us off and he tells you they're gonna come fuming, steaming with fire coming why would Allah send the Melaika with fire coming Arab is not strong you know I don't understand is this what Allah has kept for his people that a Melaika an angel will come into and he's steaming and he's ugly and that's not the concept of an angel the concept of the angel that will come to you he will come to you in a position where he will not be smiling yes because it's not a time for smiling it's just like when you go to a funeral you don't say may Allah reward you for the death of your husband right you're not gonna do that you will be in control of your emotion to such a state that you have to show that exposure because it's a very sensitive very formal setting right so the same applies in that particular position it's a formal setting of asking you a question it's not about and then you know you will get a scorpion as big as the mountain of Uhut it seems we have we people have an issues that the bigger it is the worse it is can't Allah create a cheap scorpion if he wants to give you the biggest bite of your life does it have to they say good things come in small packages not in big packages right Allah doesn't have to create a scorpion as big as the Imam Barga so you can feel the pain if we can affiliate and associate with something like that right Allah SWT is way above with His mercy whatever we produce for ourselves is what we will find in our graves in our Akhira or wherever the position maybe it is not Allah SWT who is producing that pain for us it is us whether it is in terms of pain or whether it is in terms of enjoyment so the Imam goes on to say but you must preserve that soul because why by the fact and the virtue that you preserve you preserve that soul of yours then everything falls into place if you preserve your soul Imam Ali says we were talking to the children of Madrasa today I think you people should be proud of your setup in this country this school you have here it's the pride of the Kodja community honest to God I went today to this school I just wanted to hug each and every student in this school there were amazing students their questions they asked me I have not heard one single question from the adults one of the student asked we live in a world with so much frustration and here the frustration is doubled in this country what can we do for ourselves and our country to get it out of that frustration look at that mind a student in year 10 is thinking about the future of his setup and the future of his country that is amazing and we should nurture this particular ability with our students when they think like that we should someone else ask me is it haram to migrate when you face a problem in your own country where you can't change this situation is it better for you than to migrate empower yourself and then perhaps come back and be a good citizen for your country to change things that is phenomenal for someone to think along those lines and how to carry yourself into the future but that only comes from two things from education and from the preservation of one's intelligence and soul if we neglect these two aspects of our life we are a non entity we don't even exist people in the west do you think people in the west are living they're drones you know what they're drones they're drones wake up in the morning 8.30 go to work come back sleep wake up that's their 24 hour system there is no social life no spiritual life no nothing and that's why now people are so eager to find this spirituality and that's why you see people going into Buddhism meditation any what do you call it church of Scientology church of Scientology like this what's his name famous actor who? Abel Cruz yeah he goes into the church of Scientology because he wants to find connection to something that is empty within himself because brothers and sisters if you empty your soul it's not going to go away it's not going to go away because this is a potential and when you neglect a potential the potential will come to haunt you in other ways and psychologists have found out that negligence of the spirit will not make the spirit phase away it will make the spirit come back to haunt you in addictions crime all sorts of disenchanted thoughts and unless you address the issue of spirituality it will not leave you it will not leave you it will always be there to haunt you so the Imam says that after the right of Allah comes the right of your own soul Allah says what نس الله فأنساهم what we said they forgot about God God made them forget about themselves they become robots there's no meaning to life whatsoever you know imagine when you come and you pray what is the medium of prayer is the medium of prayer is to be engaged in something that is aerobic it's not about aerobics I don't want to go up and down in a movement of ways just so that I would lose weight it's not about losing weight it's about losing access luggage from my bad thoughts it's about fine tuning yourself when you come before Allah سبحانه وتعالى because you know what Allah says Allah says whenever you come to me between each and every prayer you do your actions are presented to me every action that you do as long as it does not encrouch on the rights of others is forgiven سبحان الله so now wonder why Allah spread the five prayers across the day so whatever you do in the day you have an opportunity to come back and say يا الله لك I am your creature your servant and you are my creator I sleep what can I do I sleep who do I turn to when I sleep Allah says come to me I will fine tune you and that's why prayer comes to play such an important role of linking you to Allah and mind you I don't know whether you know this or not all the laws of Allah were given to the Prophet on earth some fighting zakat khoms being good to your parents all the laws of Allah were given to the Prophet on earth except Salah it was given in heaven when the Prophet went to heaven Allah سبحانه وتعالى said I am going to give you a gift but this gift is not Mamblon it's not a perfume baron it's not a beautiful embroidered with silver and Serovsky crystal no it's not that it is prayer because the Prophet says what prayer is the ascension of a movement towards heaven why? because it was first given there and سبحانه وتعالى to understand more about the beauty of how Salah links you to Allah let us shed some light on the story of Imam Ali when that person came and asked for something while the Imam was in Salah some of our youth and because they are using their intelligence and when our youths use their intelligence don't dismiss it one of our youngsters in Sydney came and asked me I will ask you something you say Imam Ali is the Imam of متقين I said yes he said and when Imam Ali enters into prayer he doesn't think about anything else I said yes he said then how could he the beggar saying give me something for the sake of Allah oh bombshell how are you going to explain this it's true how did Imam Ali he the call of the beggar when he came into the mosque because Imam Ali should not be engage with someone coming to his with Allah okay I said excellent question you know we should not if our brother even to the extent of someone of our children comes and says where is God you don't smack him one across the face you sit with him and you explain to him because his quest to know Allah is what pushing him to ask where is he it's not because he wants to deny him I met a very senior citizen very senior brother in the community he is very prominent I don't want to take his name he says sheikh I love my God I love my God but I want to love him the way I want you Mawlana's are making me hate him I said love him the way you want right we said 2 days ago when I spoke in my speech I said Allah says but those who struggle in my way I will show them the way the ways to reach me not one way the ways والذين جاهدوا فينا لنهدي انهم سبيلنا no سبولنا not one سبيل not one path but many path leads to Allah سبحانه و تعال I said to him when that beggar came and no one responded that Iwaya says what now you have to continue that Iwaya that Iwaya says that this man then turn to Allah alright no one is listening to me no one is telling me something take this take that so he turn to Allah his voice in appealing to Allah was in heaven at that time Imam Ali's soul was in heaven too he listened the call up there and his hand extended down here that's how you connect to Allah سبحانه و تعالى not here that's this world it's nothing this world is absolutely nothing you need to connect to Allah through the medium of prayer رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he says to us that the Quran told him إن الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمكر صلا the medium of salah prevents the person who does it from committing mischief and evil one day someone came to the Prophet he said يا رسول الله the Quran says this but we have this rascal sitting here okay his prayer does not prevent him from doing mischief he said give him time surely one day it will you may not see it right away but over the course of time you will see the effect of prayer on yourself so that's how you connect to Allah سبحانه و تعالى through the mediums that fills your spirituality with a sense of belonging because if you don't have that sense of belonging within you then there is a vacuum within you and then nothing satisfies you that's why we why do we think we go out often we go on holidays we go and buy gifts I'm not saying the bad stuff but when we become excessively engrossed in holidays we never get enough why because we're not connecting to our spirit we are only satisfying our physical being we are only feasting our eyes on the beauty of this world but where is the feasting of the spirit or the eyes of the spirit and the eyes of the spirit cannot feast on mundane worldly gains it can only feast on the beauty of that which created it and that is Allah سبحانه و تعالى it has to have that connection with Allah the Almighty سبحانه و تعالى anyway moving from there the Imam begins with the right of the tongue and what does he say before I go to what the Imam says a scholar once sent his student and he said go and get me the word the best part of an animal so the student went تاريك رول زينا بماركة سنة he came back he bought a tongue he bought a tongue of a sheep the alem said very nice okay now you go and get me the worst part of an animal again he went brought the tongue the alem said have you lost your brain? you bring me the tongue for the best part you bring me the tongue for the worst part he said you taught us the tongue can either be the sweetest thing in life or the sharpest thing in life سبحانه و تعالى it's how you use it it can either be سلام حبيبي جان my day is not complete without you oh god damn the day I came to know you it was the worst day of my life the day my mother introduced you to me you know it can be either this extreme or that extreme and Allah سبحانه و تعالى the prophet he says what he says every time softness and leniency is used in anything it raises its rank and every time harshness is used in anything it raises its rank يعني even if you are the biggest I.T. الله if your approach is what is rough harsh people don't want to know you your rank will diminish and I'm not saying this to diminish the rank of any I.T. الله it is Allah who said to the prophet that he said ولو كنت فضا غليض القلب لنفضو من حوله he said oh Muhammad Allah is the greatest I.T. Allah Allah is speaking to the prophet if you had a hard heart and a stern approach everyone would have dispersed from around you no one wants to know you no one wants to know you when you dictate your terms on people but when you appeal to people with softness right someone was at the time at the time of at the time of at the time of someone was telling people don't do this don't do this حلال this will take you to hell Allah immediately sent جبرايل to mosa he said tell that guy make people love me not hate me I don't send people to make people hate me I don't want you to call for my religion if you're going to be the cause of people hating me even when you want to say حلالا حرام say حلالا حرام with a smile don't say حلالا حرام as to make this guy or this woman or this person feel as if now his qiyama started ولاياتب الله or he is already in his grave or he is already in his jannah no you must sit with that person talk to him I remember once in the mosque and this is the effectiveness of their tongue a person came with his 9 year old son first time anyone sees him in the mosque so he prayed in the first line he made his son stand next to him the caretaker of the mosque because masha'Allah he thinks he is atollah he came and he held the son from his collar like this he said come out of here this is only for adults and he pushed him away in the most harshest of way the father was so calm he didn't make an issue he prayed then he turned away took his son and left until now I have not seen that person I haven't seen okay this reminds me of what this reminds me of a story that happened with Imam Ja'far Sadaq when it comes to the question of being soft and not harsh what happened a person comes into the mosque and the Imam was leading prayer first time in his life he wants to find God he wants to find Allah so he came in and he prayed after he finished one of those pseudo-mawlannas you know he said brother where are you going he said I work I have a shop he said you know two hours time it will be a time whoa in his life it's his first time in the mosque he said okay I'll wait he prays a lot فجر brother فجر لا إله he prayed all the prayers the poor guy in the mosque you know after that he is not to be seen in the mosque Imam Ja'far Sadaq remembered he said remember two months ago three months ago one of our brothers came for the first time we've never seen him what happened to him this man says Imam he said yes do you know anything about him he says yes I know the whole story he said tell us so he started telling him what he did you know what the Imam said he said you have killed your brother you have killed him you stuffed him religion religion religion hello you give kitchiri to a six month girl you kill her right you give her pakora she's dead you have to give her something soft something nice milk cereal that you sow for an hour but you know when our children begin they get to the age of 14 a girl the age of nine hijab salah roses start much much earlier than that you be the role model for her at home that even without having to tell her she will affiliate with your action right when you pray at home when you wear the scarf when you and when you respect her dad and the dad respect the mom she will become a good wife where can we find good wives today we can't find good wives mothers in laws often complain why because these girls where are they coming from they're coming from the setup itself where there is no respect between parents right so if there is no respect between parents how is it anticipated that by God's intervention and divine you know wand these kids are going to come out the perfect husband and wife role model later on in life they can't they can't we have a poetry saying which is very very nice it says كان رب البيت بدفض عاربه فشيمة أهل البيت كله مررقص meaning what if the head of the family is a drum beat then the rest of the family will be what will be dancing they're not going to be staying and praying to Allah right if he's holding the drum and beating a day and night his children will come and dance with him you don't expect to beat the drum and your son is going to become يجب أن يكون إمام موسك، مستحيل، لا يستطيع أن يكون مهما وذلك why we say we need to raise children for the future generation so we need to raise our children to be leaders, to be good husbands, to be good wives to be good citizens and that can only happen at home It's not the school only that makes a child It's a complimentary reunion or marriage between the school and the home The tongue, he says the right of your tongue is to honor it from obscenity That's the right, you know why? Because your tongue every morning when you wake up in the morning Allah tells us and the Prophet related that story to us That every morning you wake up from your sleep, your body parts speak to you And they tell you this is a new day Make use of us in a good manner Don't use us in a way that we have to testify against you on the Day of Judgment We have no say in the matter God will say speak on the Day of Judgment And the tongue will start And you know, the Quran says that everyone will come with a book Around his neck And that book will be produced on the Day of Judgment You know the meaning of book in the Quran? It's not necessarily a book It could be one of these LG chips There are USB files That is not megabyte It's what? Tarabyte Today we have tarabyte God knows what tomorrow we will have We started with gigabyte, megabyte Now? Tarabyte God will bring out a tarabyte Or 3-4 tarabytes Where all your life is recorded And the tongue will speak The hand will speak The leg will speak The head will speak The skin will speak And says what we did So they say don't misuse us If you want to say something, say it right Don't say something which is obscene You go and you see all TV programs Show me one TV program for the youth That does not use obscene language Simson وما أدراك ما سمسن لا حولا وراك القارعة وما القارعة وما أدراك ما القارعة The Simson and what do you know about the Simson It is to teach people how to be defiant Of everything good And people sit and laugh about it So much so that I was watching once One of these episodes Where Homer Simpson Is trying to convince his audience That because of you being an individual In your own right And you have your own freedom You should not have respect for authority Even if the authority happens to be God That's the end The conclusion of the whole episode Is to reach at that point That you don't need to have an authority in your life Not even parents Not even the law And not even God in the end I say what are these people trying to do Are they trying to make us into drones That's exactly what they are trying to do To us, you know Program us in such a way That if you don't follow that program You become the odd one out And you know what It is more to me More sweeter than honey To me In a community Which opts Which opts To follow a program of falsehood To be the only odd one out And رسول الله said that You know what he said He said كشامة بين الأمم You know what a shama شامة is that nice beauty spot That Cindy Crawford has In her upper lip And everyone wanted to get A Cindy Crawford beauty spot سبحان الله He leave Allah create the way he wants You're not going to be Cindy Crawford If you go and put one Leave your beauty Let people Because beauty brothers And sisters is relative Relative What I see ugly You see the most beautiful What I see the most beautiful You see the most ugly There is no standard Of what constitute ugliness And what constitute beauty Anyway So the prophet says Be like that beauty spot Among the nations Stand out Stand out Be aloof Don't be like everyone else If everyone else wears So I don't have to I am refined I don't have to go to that level Where I begin To use found language with everyone Because it becomes part and parcel Of your standard of living You can't control it after that It becomes part of you That even if you're speaking to your mother Or your father You don't find any problem with it You know there's a story about someone Who became so foul In his attitude Is that he He called one of his friends To a day You know what a day You don't know what a day is When you say to someone I dare you to do this Okay Ask Today I was speaking to the students Straight away they picked it up We know what a day is Subhanallah I was so happy about it I said This man called one of his friends To a day You know what he told him He told him The first man that comes now See that old man who's coming He said yes He said Whoever abuses him Worse than the other Wins the day So The man is approaching That guy goes to him This This This He comes back and says How did I do Was I good He said Yeah but I'm better than you He said You didn't even open your mouth He said I don't have to He said how He said because that person is my dad Allahu Akbar Can you believe What level of foulness A person can reach Because of his attitude towards others And how he starts to think In life about others Why?   Because what will people think of them They're dumb They don't know how to express themselves They can't even partake In a discussion You know the Imam What he used to say He's when I used to sit in a Gathering And I see people holding Their tongue back Not speaking To hold them in admiration Until they open their mouths Then I will know Are they going to be Someone who knows what they're talking about Or are they going to be among the blabbers Just for the sake of talking I will talk Right No The Imam says If you are in a session Or in a gathering And you don't need There is no need What you say Is not going to benefit the gathering It's not going to excel someone In his religion Listen To be a listener Is better than to be a speaker Sometimes Sometimes Except when it comes to saying The truth Except when it is to defend Falsehood If someone is doing Something bad Of course you can't remain silent Because The Prophet said The one who remains mute Ahead of what is right Is a mute Satan It's like a Satan But doesn't talk Why Because when you see something wrong You must Stand against it And you must speak Against it In that regard So the Imam Says And hold it back Unless In the Hold it back Unless for a need In A need And a benefit In the religion Or this world It's not only about religion Even when you're sitting You don't have to speak About religion 27 247 If something benefits Someone else in this world It is religion Because people think religion Is only what Rosa Had No That is not To show an expression About someone's need Is an act of charity When you see someone who's not as fortunate As you are And the facial features Of your face change And the agony For reaching out to that person Is an act of charity Even in your heart If you feel that pain You know sometimes You get that sensation In your heart Where you feel that pain And you can't Help or reach out To help that person It's an act of charity Because one day That pain will come out And you will exercise prudence In changing the world around you That's religion Religion is not about me Religion is about us It's not about the I It's about the we Always include others With your prayers With your thoughts With your advancement With your development With your progress How I'm going to make My brothers and sisters As good as me Once I was in Dubai I said When one makes His first million What should he be His thought after that Honest to God Without fail Everyone in the message How to make the second million I said I should start imagine I should beat myself now I said This is what you're thinking They said Then what else He said You should start thinking How to help your brother Make his first million now Help your brother Make his first million You've already made it Huh? Include people Would you not think About yourself Inclusively Think inclusively The more million The better will be Right? The more million The better we will be Imam Ali says لو لما لخديجة وسيف علي ما قام للإسلام إقائمة Had it not been For the wealth of Khadija Look Islam Started with what With what With wealth and what Woman Started with women Started with women Started with women The religion of Islam Started with the wealth Of a woman يعني We all owe it to Khadija And the sort of Ali means what Power Right? So look at this Trio Tripod Khadija Ali Who's standing in between And speaking Right? So what is the scenario now Wealth Knowledge But he didn't say Because of his humbleness رسول الله He didn't include him Wealth Knowledge And power The three successes of life And without them You are nothing And without them You are nothing Without wealth Without Knowledge And without power You cannot progress in life That's why I told My students today Or our students today I said Why do you think 22 players Kick at a ball Have you ever thought Money Why no Because to make money No Why do players Kick this soccer ball Or football ball One of the Were you there with us today You were Keep the answer to yourselves Why Any thoughts Some people said To score a goal Some people said To be To be What do you call it Successful Popularity Popularity I'll tell you this Would you kick that goal To be What do you call it Successful Popularity Would you kick that ball If that ball was made of steel So they kick it Because it's what They have control over it Because it's what It's hollow I said to my students Don't be that ball Where people kick you around Don't be someone who's As empty As that ball No, be as strong as you can So no one can miss with you in the world And because of what happened to us We are the cheapest Soccable in the world Us Muslims We are being kicked around Left Trier and Center The cheapest blood in the world Sister today is the blood of who Muslims No one pay regards to us Why Because we don't have the trio We don't have the tripod We don't have the wealth The knowledge And the power And you know the beauty of Islam It says Have power But don't use it Subhan لهم مستطاعتهم من قوة ومن رباط الخيل ترهبون به عدو الله وعدوكم Prepare for them Every might And every horsepower Why did the prophet Allah use horsepower You know why Because until now People measure every power By what By horsepower You know So when Allah speaks About horses in the past He knows what can happen in the future You know They tell you A Ferrari Kicks from 0 To 100 In 4.3 seconds Because of what Because it has 456 Horsepower Subhan Allah The engine Is measured by Horsepower تبارك الله أحسن الخادرين Blessed is Allah The best of creation Who knows What's going to happen in future So Subhan Allah Without this We cannot survive Why Because if we have knowledge We will know how to use wealth Right And if you have knowledge You will only use power When it is necessary But you have power And knowledge Sorry Power and wealth without knowledge You make a mess in the world You make a mess in the world Look what's happening You know Wars here and wars there Why Because people want to show their might We are Able to crush you Not we are Able to dialogue with you And sit and talk To one another About this I don't know what's happening with time So we have been Talking for about One hour Less Okay I said I'll make it for you today I'll make it up to you today All right I will continue So if you are able To sustain me of course Because If you are tired Anything will end I'll go for the next 5 minutes I'll finish The right of tongue And then we'll Round it up Then he says An exempted from ugly curiosity That has little benefit And it's harm And it's harm Is unsecured And is of minor profit يعني Don't fantasize about something That is not good By blabbing about it If only this If only that If only If only If only And then you are still Where you are He says No, if you want to talk about If only Get up And work on it Don't sit like this Our friend in the mosque He wants a son Remember the story from yesterday Oh Allah, give me a son Oh Allah, give me a son Oh Allah, he's blabbing Son Son By the right of Fatima By the right of Muhammad I want a son Mawlana says Is something wrong with you Medically Anyone I am You know Stronger than a bull Than the Mawlana Asked him He said Listen Do you have a wife He says no No Get out of here What do you mean Oh Allah You want a son Who do you think you are Maryam No Do you think you are Maryam Maryam is the only one Who has given a son Without a dad Allah is not going to give you A son just Go and work on it Take the means Someone comes to the prophet Allah And he is He thinks that he is You know Einstein of his time Oh you know Albert Newton Or whatever He comes to The mosque He leaves his camel untied The prophet says Why didn't you tie your camel He said Ya Rasool Allah I am relying on Allah Blabbing For nothing Rasool Allah I am relying on Allah He said yes He said Tie it first Tie it Then rely On Allah Don't leave the camel untied And then say Allah will look after it Do you think Allah has nothing else Just look after your camel No No Of course Allah will look after everything But use your brain Tie it Get up and do something about life And then say Ya Allah Ya Allah Ya Allah Don't just sit at home And do nothing So don't make your tongue Just blab over nothing Do it Then He says Having witnessed And guided by the mind He is talking about the tongue Having been witnessed And guided by the mind The rational To be adorned by his mind Is to speak well through his tongue Subhan Allah Once you synchronize your tongue With your mind And you begin to rationalize things Through the mind What will happen to the tongue It will only talk what is right Subhan Allah It's no longer Speaks gibberish It's not like our 2 year old boys and girls What are you talking about You are gibberish Because they can't synchronize now This is too tender To synchronize their mind With their tongue And then the Imam says And there is neither mind nor power Except by Allah The supply and the great To guide you to achieve that Subhan Allah In the end also Put your trust in Allah Subhan Allah May we all put trust in Allah و آخر دعوانا الحمد لله رب العالمين و صلى الله عليه وسلم و بارك على محمد و آله الطيبين الطاهرين Thank you very much Jesus Are any of you able to Yes The sister here And the sister at the back و عليكم السلام If you are referring to praying While sitting down In that situation It is not allowed It's only allowed In a position or in a circumstance Where you are unable to stand up You are sick And you are not able to stand up Then you can do it while sitting down But the fact that because of work I think you can take some time of work During lunch hour or wherever It only takes 5-10 minutes If we can revolve Our time around salah And not salah around our time I think we can manage somehow How to offer our prayers Yes Sister Excuse me Where is it sorry Where is it When you see some good things in yourself Yes Okay I don't think the Imam is referring to To the fact that genes plays The most important part When it comes to the dad As opposed to the mother I remember saying by Imam Khomeini رحمة الله عليه I'm the product of the lap of my mom You know Everything I have is because of my mom Because she's the one who raised me Educated me Put these ideas in me The Imam is simply trying to say That it is through the guidance Of the father That sometimes we excel In our way of communication In our way of goodness And so on and so forth But that does not exempt the right Of the mother in doing so But if you for example Read about the right of the mother In the Risala of Imam زين العابدين Which is something to touch upon I think I will change from the parts I will probably shed some light on the You will see that the Imam speaks Very highly about the right of the mother And that if it hadn't been For the mother's existence And the father's existence You are a non-intity So they're always Equitable terms As far as the role of the father And the mother in that regard When the Prophet comes to put the icing On the cake And he says that the right of the mother Is higher than the right of the father And it is three times higher Than the rate of the father And then again the same Imam Who tells us about the right of the father Comes and speaks about the right of the mother When he met that Bedouin person Performing had with his mom I don't know if you know the story Right Where he says You will never satisfy the right of your mom Not even with one push of the cradle One push Although he had taken her to Safa And Marwa We made her do the Tawaaf And then he went with her to Arafa And you know what He says why The man becomes very frustrated Why I've done all this And I'm not satisfied with one push Of the cradle Look what the Imam says He says because when you were doing this You were wishing for her to die Because she's old Yeah Allah take her خلص she's fulfilled But with every push of the cradle She was wishing that she would die And you would leave And what a difference Between the way we think as children And the way parents think in that regard So when we look at this Ahadith What I'm trying to say Is look at this Ahadith In the wholesome picture Not in segregation from our mother You look at them in context And not separate from one another Than the whole picture Will be complete before us Yes The sister at the back Sorry This one For here Yes Let me tell you this Very frankly and very open The process of teaching Religion does not start at an age There is no particular age Start training children Its gradual starts From the practices of the parents At home Then it reaches a stage Where it becomes formal Talking to them about it That age of formality When you speak to them about it Ranges from the age of about 10 To the age of about 1617 Which is what we call Adolescent age That's the time of dialogue Before that time We have to always show them In action What we want from them Right So that they don't find it difficult When the time comes for them To become accountable To feel that the burden Of prayer on them is too much The burden of fasting is too much No Gradually they are being trained At home To pray one time Not to pray the other To stand in front of them And the biggest mistake We make with our children Is when the time for prayer Comes We tell them Go and pray You don't need to do that When the time of prayer comes You get up and pray In front of them Don't tell them To go and pray And you will witness that That if you do that From a very tender age Automatically They will come and stand next to you You know you find the child When he sees his mother in Sejda What does he do He runs and go in Sejda It's normal He sees his mother playing aerobics He will play aerobics Right Simple as that He sees his mother shouting He will shout So if you gradually start Now they become of age Right They come to the age They decide from that moment onward That it is up to them To decide what their religious life is going to be Right Then at that time They are responsible You're no longer responsible Because from that age onward Since he or she has become accountable Then she is accountable To Allah Not to you as a parent In as much as it may hurt us That they are not praying Which is fair enough You can pray for them You can sit to them Dialogue with them Use their friends To convince them indirectly You know If they have good company But don't clash with them Because if you clash with them That's the end of them They never come back to you So what you need to do Is leave them Leave them because They are accountable Before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala يعني Is a father or a mother accountable To Allah about their children If they have done their duty When they were young Once the children reach The age of accountability Will the parents still be responsible For them No they're not Because Allah says ولا تزير وازيرة وزر أخرى No soul shall be burdened By the mistakes Or shortcomings of another Soul Everyone is responsible For his own doing And for his own work Well that's what I'm saying If the parents Are themselves negligible Then they are Well then they have to They have to use They have to not suffer But I guess they have to Endeavour To understand the dilemma Of their children Because they themselves Missed out on it So how do they If they for let's say Until they reach 20 or 30 They didn't start praying So how do you expect That this my son All of a sudden Will be praying now Because now I decided To become religious It won't work Then we have to sit And dialogue with them We have to find good company For them We have to find Take them to a good speaker Involve them in good activities So that they can Link themselves Back to religiousness It can't be done overnight In that regard Yes Very good point By why can't I At that moment When the namaz come They say Let us all play namaz And we'll continue Our game later Why don't we use namaz As a playing field as well Rather than make it But that's when you train them You don't tell them Salah is this And full stop No In the course of playing with them You need to also train For example You want to train them About Salah being Something that what That you can't talk Right Then let's play the silent game Right Whoever can remain silent For 2 minutes 5 rupees Right When we have to use Our intelligence In creating scenarios That when they move Into that silence It becomes familiar There is a saying It says من يحمل هم الرسالة يبدع في الفكرة Meaning what He who has the concern For his message Will be creative In the way He propagates it So we need to be creative If we have Surely I have the concern For my religious Education of my kids Right Now I have to become creative How to propagate it to them I'll tell you a story Of a Sayyed He's an Ayatollah I know him personally And I will tell you who he is Because it's not a problem His name is Ayatollah He's the father of Sayyed Mehdi Mudarrasi Who runs Ahlulbayt channel He told me He said when my children Became of age I was It was mind boggling How to wake them up For Salatul Fajr He said I stayed one whole night praying Ya Allah Give me the way The means To wake them up for Fajr So that I Will not disturb them from their sleep He said Allah inspired me to do something Guess what he did He woke up in the morning Went to the kitchen He started cutting apples Alright When he cut Small pieces of apples He went while they were sleeping He put one piece of apple In the mouth of the sun The sun is sleeping And the juice is going Wow What's this that? Is it an apple? Does it taste nice? She says wow Beautiful But what are you doing awake At this time of the day there He says I want to pray If you won't join me Every day for a month An apple a day Keeps Sheypan away So of course You don't have to put an apple Put a sneakers Mazz bar Whatever appeals to the But I'm saying It's such a creative way Of waking up Without Get up You know Salat time That's not the way That's not the way Because children will hate it It's 5 o'clock in the morning Man Adults don't want to wake up At this time But if you make it fun If you make it nice Appealing something like that They will synchronize And slowly and gradually It becomes part and parcel of their life Yes Sorry Some question here The first question is In أعمال Why do we place Quran on the head? Can Sadaqa be given to a non-Muslim? Yes I'll start from backward General charity Can be given to a non-Muslim No charity does not know religion There is no religion When it comes to charity So any form of charity Which is general charity You can give it to anyone Anyone that knocks at your door You are not under any obligation To ask Are you Hindu? Are you Sikh? Are you Buddha? We don't have food for you No Be like what Allah did With Ibrahim The story I told you When this man Wanted to eat with him And he didn't take the name of Allah So Ibrahim said Sorry, this food Is not for people who don't know Allah So Jibrail came down Allah sent him He said Oh Jibrail This man is 70 years old I've been feeding him for 70 years old And he doesn't believe in me You couldn't tolerate him for one night You couldn't tolerate him And accept him for one night What's it to you If he wants to believe in me or not? He just feed him For the sake of me Feed him Now why do we put the Qur'an? We know that the Qur'an is what Is full of blessing Allah says We bring from this Qur'an What is what? Shifa Healing And mercy For Mu'minin What is better than to put the Qur'an On your head For that healing and mercy Of course you have to believe in it first You have to believe in that Qur'an Otherwise this Qur'an Become to you like a Chinese cooking book You might as well put a Thai cooking book Because you don't believe in it in anyway Right So if you want to really believe in it Then put it on your head Then use it as a healing force Because Allah says It is a healing force for you But first believe in it And then the sky is the limit شاب قدر is On one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan Absolutely Why is the 19 also included Because that's when it starts Because the month is 29 days Right So 19 21 23 25 27 29 Alright So in the last 10 nights Right Because Ramadan is not always 30 nights So you have to start from The last 10 nights Which is 9 to 19 Day of 20 Right That makes it what 10 days Right So that's why Allah The Prophet said Seek it in the last 10 days So that You will always be alert Because if Allah says to the Prophet Okay the night of Qadr is this You're not only going to stay awake For that night You will neglect everything Else during the E Because we know That Is equivalent to what 1000 شهر 1000 شهر is how many years No no 1000 شهر 1000 months is how many years 83 years Which is the average life Of a human being So it's like saying what If you missed on your prayers All this time And you sincerely come to Allah On that night And it happens to you It's like you worshiped Allah For 83 years But I'm not going to tell you Which day it is Because then you will be Neglect form Of all the days And the years That you live in this Well However Why is it specifically That it is celebrated Or commemorated On the 23rd And does it mean That I should not also Commemorate Later on the 25th And the 27th And the 29th No If you can do it But why 23 in particular Because a bed When came to the prophet Once This is the famous story Famous He said I live Very far from Medina And it is difficult for me To come in the last 10 nights Of Ramadan Can you give me An indication When is Laylatul Qadr He said Seek it on the 23rd night Seek it on the 23rd night So that's why the emphasis Is on the 23rd night As opposed to the other nights
