In 2007, South African Grant Horsfield found Sanjiuwu, a farming
hamlet on the bamboo clad Moganshan Mountain to the west of Shanghai,
where he rented some underused farmhouses and converted them into
guesthouses. Thus, the Naked Retreats were born,marking the rising of
low-carbon tourist sites onthe Moganshan Mountain, a national scenic
spot in Zhejiang Province.
In 2009, Grant invested 200 million yuan (31.5 million U.S. dollars)
to build another resort not far from Sanjiuwu, while in 2011, French
businessman Christophe Peres also built a resort, LePassage Mohkan
Shan.
According to local tourism authorities, there are now 35 similar
resorts in the Moganshan area, built by investors of over 10 foreign
countries. These resorts were built with local natural materials, such
as bamboo, wood and stone, and they advocated healthy, eco-friendly
lifestyle, providing a rural refuge from the stresses and strains of
city living and office work, thus attracting a large number of foreign
businessmen and white-collar workers.
In October 2010, Deqing County was awarded the"low-carbon tourism
model county" at a tourism summit in Beijing,capital of China.

QUR'AN AYATH EXPLANATION :- ~

"Say: Indeed my prayer, mysacrifice, my life and my death are for
ALLAH, the Lord of the Worlds." [6:162]
Uthman bin Affan ra reported: The Messenger ofAllah (PBUH) said, "He
who performs the Wudu' perfectly (i.e., according to Sunnah), his sins
will depart from his body, even from under his nails.'' [Muslim]
Imagine the moment you do your salah with complete focus and
engagement, feeling who you stand before and you heart seems to depart
this world to dwell for a few minutes in Paradise in the presence of
its Creator!
How huge our loss is when we pray the prayer just to get it off our shoulders!
Prayer is the sample taste of Paradise Allah gives to those who truly
love Him and look forward for the next prayer!
Your feelings towards the next prayer reflects your feelings about
meeting Allah; either looking forward to it or trying to get over
with, and all will show at the time of death!
'Death', Which You Can Not Escape, So Be Prepared For Hereafter.....
"Wherever You May Be, Death Will Eventually CatchUp With You, Even You
Are In A Castle Built Up Strong And High." [Quran 4:78]
"We can't go back for a better beginning. There's no eraser. But we
can always plan and hope for abetter ending because there is
repentance."

ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Muslim women in married life

Relationships based on worldly values can degenerate into baseness, as
often happens in marriage. When people's love and respect is based on
these values, they can lose these feelings quickly when circumstances
change. This is almost inevitable when love, respect, and loyalty
depend on one's beauty, wealth, health, job, or status, for when these
temporary and superficial characteristics disappear, so will the other
person's love. Someone who follows such criteria will find no reason
to continueto love and honor his or her spouse when the basisfor those
values is lost.
Belief, fear and respect of Allah, and decency of character are what
make love, respect, and loyalty endure. Someone who loves his or her
spouse for their belief and character will, in married life, be
respectful, loyal, and decent. Losing one's youth, health, or beauty
will not affect the love andconsideration among spouses for each
other, and neither will losing one's wealth or social status. They
will not cause trouble or discontent to the other person because of
their firm belief and fear and respect of Allah, whatever the
circumstances. Believers will always be gentle and compassionate, as
well as fair and tolerant, for they will consider this to be a
responsibility entrusted tothem by Allah. Islamic morality has a very
high opinion of women and seeks to prevent them from suffering any
difficulties or hardships. Thus, believing men safeguard the rights of
women and are most considerate toward them.
So close is the marital relationship that the Qur'an says of the
spouses: "They are clothing for you, and you for them" (Surat
al-Baqara: 187). In this verse, Allah reminds people that each spouse
has equal responsibilities. The word "clothing" stands for the
responsibility of guarding and protecting one another and also
suggests that men and women have complementary qualities.
Another verse states the importance of love and compassion in
marriage: "Among His Signs is that He created spouses for you of your
own kind, sothat you might find tranquillity in them. And He has
placed affection and compassion between you. There are certainly Signs
in that forpeople who reflect" (Surat ar-Rum: 21). Believers consider
their spouses to be gifts that Allah has given into their care, and
therefore value one another greatly. They show affection and
compassion when their spouse makes a mistake or falls short in some
way, and know that behaving according to the Qur'an will help them
overcome all difficulties and solve their problems. As a
result,marriage helps both spouses find contentment and peace.
With the phrase "you have been intimate withone another" (Surat
an-Nisa': 21), Allah proclaims the closeness and intimacy of married
life. The secret of this closeness, intimacy, and valuing of each
other is their intention to create an everlasting togetherness that
will extend into the Hereafter. True loyalty and love requires this
attitude. Since their love is neither selfish nor temporary, but
intended to be everlasting,they are completely loyal, close, honest,
and intimatewith one another.
Qur'an's morality forms the basis for a marital relationship based on
togetherness, one in which both parties fear and respect Allah and
follow His morality. In such a relationship, each person's loyalty,
faithfulness, love, sincerity,tolerance, and modesty complement and
support the other person. Such a marriage is stable and long-lasting.
The marriages of people without these qualities, onthe other hand, are
short-lived.
Islam considers marriage to be a comfort for women, for in it she
experiences love, respect, loyalty, and faithfulness in the best
possible way. She is always respected, valued, and honored. The
absence of any pride, superiority complex, and lies enables her to
find peace and contentment.
Being Protective of Women
By proclaiming "We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and
a mercy to the believers," (Surat al-Isra': 82) Allah states that
Islamic morality will always directpeople toward the good and that the
Qur'an's verses are a mercy for them. These verses, revealed to create
contentment and justice among people, guarantee the rights of women in
both their social and family lives. And, the verse "We bring you the
truth and the best of explanations" (Surat al-Furqan: 33) makes
clearthe fact that the Qur'an contains all of the knowledge needed to
findthe value, love, and respect that they deserve in every aspect of
their lives.
This is a great mercy, comfort, and gift from Allah for women as well.
