The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love.  The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general.  The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

 

====================================

 

The Apple in the Bible

 

In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Sustain me with grape-cakes; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.

His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!

Upon reading this Biblical song, one may ask if the Bible is a book that teaches the religion or a book that teaches the private hot issues happening between men and women!

In the Noble Quran, the great Prophet King Solomon does not say such a song.

Song of Solomon 2:1-6 in four different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

1 I am a rose of Sharon,  a lily of the valleys.

2 Like a lily among thorns  is my darling among the maidens.

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He has taken me to the banquet hall,  and his banner over me is love.

5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

6 His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

 

American Standard Version

1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

2 As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.

5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.

6 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.

 

King James Version

1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

 

Young’s Literal Translation

1As a lily among the thorns,

2So [is] my friend among the daughters!

3As a citron among trees of the forest, So [is] my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit [is] sweet to my palate.

4He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me [is] love,

5Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I [am] sick with love.

6His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

The Apple in the Quran

 

The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general.  The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

Verses 36: 55-58 talk about the fruits in the afterlife for those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise.

————————————–

 

The meaning of verse 36: 55

Indeed, this day which is the Day of Judgment, those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise are busy; they are delighting in pleasures; they are not tiring with anything wearisome, as there is no toil in Paradise; they are blissful and rejoicing in comfort.

 

The meaning of verse 36: 56

For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they and their wives are in pleasant shade; in other words, no sunlight affects them. They and their wives are on thrones reclining; reclining upon couches (the word couches in Arabic is pronounced as “Ara’ik”, which is the plural of ar?ka.  Ar?ka is a bed inside a curtained canopy, or the bedding therein on thrones reclining)

 

The meaning of verse 36: 57

For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

 

The meaning of verse 36: 58

  1. For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, Allah, the Lord of the worlds will greet them with the word “Peace”; they are greeted with the greeting of peace!   In other words, Allah, the Merciful Lord will say to them, ‘Peace be on you!’

Verses 36: 55-58 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

Verse 36: 55

QARIB: indeed, the companions of the garden are this day busy in their rejoicing.

SHAKIR: surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy

PICKTHAL: lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,

YUSUFALI: verily the companions of the garden shall that day have joy in all that they do;

 

Verse 36: 56

QARIB: together with their spouses, they shall recline on couches in the shade.

SHAKIR: they and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches

PICKTHAL: they and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;

YUSUFALI: they and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on thrones (of dignity);

 

Verse 36: 57

QARIB: they shall have fruits and all that they call for.

SHAKIR: they shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire

PICKTHAL: theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;

YUSUFALI: (every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

 

Verse 36: 58

QARIB: peace, a saying from the most merciful lord.

SHAKIR: peace: a word from a merciful lord

PICKTHAL: the word from a merciful lord (for them) is: peace!

YUSUFALI: “peace!” – a word (of salutation) from a lord most merciful!

”I added this section to the site mainly because I believe men get a pretty rough deal when it comes to grooming and I want to make sure you all get the best advice I can find. I constantly find that women pick on men for either being too rough or taking care of themselves too much, and it adds just as much pressure for a man to look good as it does for women when they look at skinny models in magazines and feel they need to diet, so if you are a woman reading this (which you shouldn’t be) then ease up on your man he has feelings too. OK so shaving is a pretty standard task that takes place normally before work when you really cant be arsed, you splash some warm water on your face, slap some foam on your face and rip yourself to shreds with a Bic and end up sore and blotchy, but do you care? no of course you don’t you only woke up half an hour ago. I think most men including me need to go back to school when it comes to shaving and learn to do it properly because if its done right the results are far better and a bit of after care goes a long way.

Preparation:

I strongly believe that you should shave at night before bed just as you would wash and brush your teeth, the reason is that your face is more relaxed than first thing in the morning, and your concentration is better also shaving at night means you wont need to do it in the morning which means more time in bed. Before you reach for the razor it is worth prepping the face before a shave, use a pre shave wash like king of shaves, this helps cleanse the skin and get rid of any dirt before a shave.

Applying Foam or Gel:

It’s time to go back to how your grandad did it, using a shave brush is a brilliant way to shave, the brush acts as a mild exfoliant and brings the hairs up ready for shaving. Use a good gel or foam such as loreal for men or nivea and apply a good amount using the brush, work it into the face in a circular motion to help raise the hairs. Once you have a good even coating your ready for shaving.

shavingThe Shave:

By far the best way to shave is to use a cutthroat style razor they give an exceptionally close shave, but unless you visit a specialist barber that can do this for you it’s not very practical for everyday use, so instead use a good quality single blade razor, these fancy razors that offer 4 blades are in my opinion a waste of time and money. When shaving always go with the hair growth and never against it as this is what causes razor burn, going with the growth means you wont get sore and if your razor is of good quality you will get a very close shave.

AfterCare:

After you have finished shaving the aftercare is just as important as the shave itself, a good quality non fragranced moisturiser should be used on the face and neck, never use alcohol based liquids such as aftershave this will just inflame the skin. Below is a selection of products available on amazon which I think work well when shaving, try out shaving this way and i’m sure you will find it much better.

Long associated with the rich and powerful, cigars evoke images of relaxation and rich flavor. A culture around the art of smoking, created and debated by cigar aficionados, assembles various theories and accessories to facilitate or enhance smoking. Cigar smoking, much like wine tasting, has for many years been viewed as a diversion of the elite of society.

The general consensus is that Spain is where cigars were first produced, catching on quickly in the other European countries. Although manufactured in many different countries, Cuban cigars have been considered one of the most flavorful and rich of all cigars for an appreciable period of time. This is due to the regional microclimates Cuba is blessed with, which are said to produce the highest quality tobacco. Combined with the skill of the country’s cigar makers, the result is a world standard in cigars. Other countries that produce sizeable amounts of tobacco and cigars include Brazil, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, Cameroon, Indonesia, Dominican Republic, and the United States. Many speculate that the reason cigars have long caught the attention of so many lies in the way it is manufactured. Hand wrapping is the basis of all high quality cigars. Unlike cigarettes, which are mass-produced by enormous machines, cigars undergo a lengthy process of fermentation and aging (much like wine), creating subtle flavors and textures before they are individually wrapped by craftsmen working with their own hands. This makes cigars highly individual, each with a subtle unique character, the best of which provide no smoky aftertaste at all.

The taste of cigars is also much more complex than the flavor of cigarettes. Most cigars are created by wrapping three distinct and different layers of tobacco leaves together, yielding a depth of flavor impossible from a cigarette. Long leaves of tobacco are typically used as the filler in high quality cigars, though a combination of scraps may also be used. This creates complex flavors subtle variations, and different textures. Cigarettes, on the other hand, are mass-produced, filled from gargantuan hoppers containing generally only one type of tobacco. Cigar flavor variation is further diversified by the addition of non-tobacco flavorings. If desired, a cigar aficionado can find chocolate, apple, vanilla, or even coffee-flavored cigars! Most common, however, are cigars flavored with expensive liquors.

Despite the fact that cigars have long been enjoyed for their smooth and complex flavors, smoking them does pose a considerable health risk. All tobacco products contain the addictive substance nicotine. Everyone has heard about the negative health risks of nicotine, but not everyone is familiar with how it causes them.. As even the casual smoker can attest, nicotine is a stimulant that produces a mild sense of euphoria. It is extremely addictive and cigar smoke contains a multitude of toxins, carcinogens, and irritants. There is still a significant risk of developing various types of oral and larynx cancers even though most connoisseurs of cigars will avoid inhaling the smoke.

Robert Williams enjoys writing for several web sites, on product information and shopping and products subjects.


In the last video I demonstrated how to roll a cigar using the whole leaf. The standard way. When you get into rolling cigars you will accumulate a lot of small scraps. Usually these scraps are tossed. In this video I show how to roll a cigar with those smaller bits of tobacco. Consider this, you will not only be using the tobacco that you would have normally discarded but the blends of fillers that you will be getting will be different with every cigar you roll. A new adventure every time you light one up.

They’re called DJ headphones for a reason: they’re built to meet the needs and rigorous use of DJs rather than just casual listeners.

But that doesn’t mean that audiophiles and regular music lovers can’t enjoy a pair of DJ headphones.

For one thing, DJ headphones often provide superior sound over standard headphones. They tend to employ powerful drivers that faithfully reproduce low and high range sounds and deliver every nuance of the music being played.

This elevated quality is essential for DJs because they need to hear every beat to mix well when they perform. But that doesn’t mean regular folks can enjoy the superb sound as well! Better sounding music is better sounding music no matter who is listening.

Another benefit of DJ headphones is that they’re built to last. They have to be. While regular music listeners use their headphones casually (usually), DJs are required to take theirs on the road for gigs, they toss them in heavy equipment bags, pull them on and off their head during sets, twist and pull the cord, and administer other regular abuses.As a result, top DJ headphone manufacturers know that they need to build their product very well so that they can withstand the beating they’re bound to take.

But once again, a long lasting well constructed product doesn’t just benefit DJs and music producers. Anyone can appreciate a quality pair that’s constructed well and lasts and lasts.

The same goes with comfort. DJ headphones tend to be built for comfort compared to most standard headphones because the people who wear them do so for extended periods of time. In some cases, for hours and hours at a time.

Even casual listeners can appreciate this during long flights, for wearing them to sleep, or in the case of noise reduction (another typical feature of DJ headphones) when trying to drown out noise to get work done.

So whether you’re a DJ or just someone who loves music, you should consider broadening your search beyond standard headphones. After all, DJ headphones may be built for DJs. But that doesn’t mean that regular listeners won’t really enjoy the superior sound, quality and comfort as well.

DJHeadphonesHub offers an incredible selection of the best dj headphones available and is an authorized dealer for Pioneer DJ headphones, Denon, Sennheiser DJ headphones, Monster, Wesc, Sony, Audio Technica, Skullcandy DJ Headphones, many others.
