Why Prayers Unanswered?

Ibrahim ibn adham (R.A), a third century scholar, teacher, and a companion of sufyan al-thawri, was asked about the saying of Allah (SWT): “And your Lord say: Call on Me, I will answer your prayer prayer...”(40:60) People complained to him, saying: we supplicate, yet we are not answered.” Ibrahim ibn adham answered them, saying: 

“You know Allah, yet you do not obey Him, You recite Quran, yet you do not act according to it, You know shaitan, yet you have always agreed with him, You proclaim that you love the messenger of Allah (S), yet you abandon his sunnah.

You proclaim your love for paradise, yet you do not act to gain it, You proclaim your fear of hellfire, yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins, You say “Indeed death is true”, yet you have not prepared for it, You engage yourselves with finding faults with others, yet you do not look at your (own) faults,

You eat of that which Allah (SWT) has provided for you, yet you do not thank Him, You bury your dead, yet you do not take a lesson from it.”

(Khushu fi – Salat of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali)

Beeps Sound in Desktop PCs at System Startup

You people might have read the story of “A man who was a hospital”. I never thought such thing can really happen to me as well before buying a PC. Among many “problems” i found in my PC one was the beep sounds at system startup(booting time). Again i took the help of google and i found that beep sounds mainly occur due to hardware problems and i got into great melancholy, “O my God this is my new PC and i’ve a harware problem in it right away...”

I used to listen two beeps with a delay of almost 1-2 seconds which was thought to be a motherboard issue, anyway i contacted the intel live help and explained my problem, below is the copy of conversation for your help

BUG : Enabling Front Panel in Desktops PCs

After buying my new Desktop PC and discovering that its front panel isn’t working, i was a bit affraid. :(

Then after searching the problem on the internet i realised that i was wrong and found the way out. Actually it was disabled. ;)

Enabling it in Windows 7 seemed not to be that much easier to me as well because it was new for me. Some said it is disabled from BIOS others said it can be done from control panel, i think both were true but in my case the later one. :)
You might be thinking about the word ‘BUG’ used in the header... you will know why did i write this at the end of this article.


Following are the steps to Enable front panel (Realtek HD Audio):
1) Open ‘Control Panel’ from ‘Start menu’ (or click on realtek icon in system tray)

        for xp (similar to Window xp)

   

      2) Open Realtek HD Audio (Start\Control Panel\Realtek HD Audio)

     
Realtek HD Audio in Window xp

   

      

      Realtek HD Audio in Window 7

  

      

It took me more than 30mins to know that checking this statement basically ‘enables’ the front panel, hats of to Realtek HD Audio. :P

If you want to play front and rear panel output devices simultaneously following screenshot illustrates its. Once again you can see the bug that a statement is wrong.
