Health Tips, - Sugar level can be controlled by just 30 - minute daily walk …!

The 15-year old boy creates sympathy in everyone's mind when he asks
whether he cannot live without insulin injections. There are many,
like this young boy, struggling to live with the help of medicines and
injections. Is there any solution for this unenviable situation? Let
us hope that a solution will be found soon.
It has been estimated that globally, around 200 million people have
been affected by diabetes. It is feared that if the situation is not
brought under control, then, before 2025, the figure will shoot up to
299.1 million. In India alone, 30 million people are diabetic, it has
been found. Out of this, 9% live in towns while 3% are in villages.
Research is still going on for permanent cure of this disease. Dr. V.
Balaji, diabetes specialist, Apollo Hospitals, talks about this
disease, the causes and more …
The major causes for diabetes are genetic factor, obesity, changes in
food habits and some other things. Diabetes is not a disease, it is a
disorder. There are two types – Type1 and Type2. Though mostly,
children and young persons get the Type1 problem, sometimes, even
elders do get it. Previously, it was believed that those under 30
years got this Type1 condition but today this concept is no more
valid. This type of diabetes occurs because there is abnormal
secretion of some hormones in blood that act as antagonists to
insulin, resulting in the total stoppage of insulin production. Those
with Type1 condition cannot live without insulin injection, they have
no other option. This type does not occur due to genetic factors.
Type2 diabetes occurs mainly due to genetic factors. If a person has
this condition, surely, both or one of his parents must have had
diabetes. Or, a very close blood relation might have been diabetic.
For those, affected by Type2 disorder, insulin production would not
have been totally stopped, it will be only insufficient. This
condition can be diagnosed through blood test. The doctor will
prescribe him tablets that improve the capacity of the pancreas to
produce more insulin. For some, they'll have to take insulin
injections too.
Genetic factors, lifestyle, obesity, environment, tension, lack of
exercise are among the main causes for diabetes. During pregnancy, if
sugar intake is not controlled, diabetes might occur. Among those with
overweight, those with paunch run greater risk. Excess fat on the
waist is also not good. So, weight should be kept under control.
Today, transplantation of pancreas is under research. Diabetes does
not give any trouble if kept under control. Daily walk for 30 minutes
will greatly help the sugar level remain under control. Previously,
diabetics were expected to follow many restrictions in their food
habits. But nowadays, it is enough if they avoid sugar. Balanced diet
is good for everybody. But, if this disorder is not controlled,
vision, heart, kidneys, nerves in the legs etc. will be affected. So,
the diabetics should take care to check their sugar level periodically
and ensure that it is kept under control.

Health Tips, - Believe … you’ve the medicine in yourself for your diseases

The advancement in medicine today is beyond anybody's comprehension.
But still … incurable diseases … no solution … we've to accept our
fate … is there a future …? This is the line of thought today. Stem
cell therapy is the answer for all these apprehensions. Life Cell
International is the first commercial bank for stem cells in India.
The organization is the one that banks the maximum number of stem
cells. Now, research is being done on whether stem cells from
menstrual blood will be useful in the treatment of diseases. Mayur
Abhaya, executive director of Life Cell International says that
branches of menstrual blood cells will be opened in all the important
cities in October.
It is hoped that women suffering from diabetes, heart problems,
nervous problems, spinal cord problems etc. can be treated using stem
cells obtained from their own menstrual blood. Their parents, siblings
and children can also be treated with these stem cells, researchers
say. It is really an achievement in the field of medicine that the
menstrual blood of women can be used as an effective therapy. Women
usually consider monthly period an inconvenient phase. But, hereafter,
there's no need to feel like that, instead they can boast of
themselves as possessing the core matter for treating any disease!
The lining of the womb begins to increase in thickness to prepare for
reproduction after the end of the monthly period. But when conception
has not taken place, the lining is no longer stimulated; the lining
detaches and flows through vagina along with blood. This is part of
the reproductive cycle, there's nothing to feel loathsome about it. It
has been found that menstrual blood contains more number of stem cells
and that the cells possess the same qualities of cells in bone marrow
and umbilical cord. Life Cell International is involved in banking
menstrual blood with the noble aim of treating people suffering from
various diseases. The method of collecting menstrual blood is very
easy and very safe also. Women can collect the blood at their home
itself in the cup designed specifically for the purpose. The cup can
be used in the same manner as sanitary napkin. They are made
leak-proof. The cup will have the capacity to collect blood over
hours. The blood should be deposited at the Life Cell Bank with the
help of the collection kit. The cells obtained from the menstrual
blood are preserved at – 190 degree in the specifically designed
preservation containers. The cells can be stored for more than twenty
years even! Mayur Abhaya was very happy when he said that in future,
the menstrual blood cell treatment would be a breakthrough in the
treatment of diseases.
Menstrual blood cells obtained from young women will be very healthy.
So, all young women should be prepared to play an important role in
the history of stem cell therapy. Those, nearing menopause, shouldn't
waste time and should deliver their menstrual blood at the nearest
cell bank as it would be of great use even to them in the future. Let
us welcome this novel therapy that would usher in an era of complete
relief from worry over diseases.

Bioghraphy, - Huseyin Hilmi Isik

Born in Eyup Sultan in Istanbul on 8 March, 1911, Huseyin Hilmi Isik

Century. He was also a pharmacist, an eminent chemical engineer and
a retired soldier.
His school life was full of achievements. At the age of five he was
enrolled at the Mihri Sâh Sultân primary school, where he recited
the entire Holy Qur'an. In 1924 he graduated from the Resadiye
middle school with distinction. After graduating with distinction
from the Halıcıoglu Military High School, he graduated with

the rank of lieutenant.
After having completed his internship at Gulhane Hospital, again with
distinction, he was appointed inspector to the Military College of
Medicine. In 1936 he graduated from the Science Faculty of Istanbul
University , becoming Turkey's first senior chemical engineer.
While working with world-renowned scientists, he synthesized and

a world first, was widely carried in the Turkish and international
press.
In 1936 he was appointed to the rank of Army Chemist and worked
with world- famous chemists. He became an expert on poison gases. He
was promoted to major in 1945, retiring with the rank of colonel
following the coup of 1960.
He taught chemistry, physics, mathematics, German and French in
several high schools in Istanbul. In 1966 he opened the Işık
Bookstore in Istanbul, and later the Hakîkat Bookstore. In 1976 he
founded the İhlâs Foundation. Huseyin Hilmi Isik (may Allah be
pleased with him) was a Muslim with a passionate love of Allah who
read from the works of Islamic scholars in all his talks.
His meeting Abdul- Hakim-i Arwasi
His meeting with Abdul- Hakim-i Arwasi in 1929 was the turning point
in his life. He attended his classes for 14 years, and after his
master's death he continued to receive scientific instruction from
his son, the Mufti of Kadıköy, Ahmet Mekki Üçışık. In 1953 he
received plenary permission to teach and write books. He published
books in Arabic, Farsi, English, French, German and other languages
and strove to hasten the global influence of Islamic moral values
and Islamic Union by sending these books all over the world. He used

The Faith Needed by All, The Day of Reckoning and the Hereafter and
The Glad Tidings of Prophethood.
Huseyin Hilmi Isik passed away on the 26 th of October, 2001.
Thousands attended his funeral at the Eyup Mosque, and he was
buried in Eyup Sultan.
In an interview he gave on October 7 th , 2010, Mr. Adnan Oktar said
the followings; Huseyin Hilmi Isik is also my spiritual guide; he is
a Naqshbandi sheikh. I took a constant interest in his books, which
I regard very highly, in my high school and university years,
studying these and learning from them, Masha'Allah. He is a most
sincere, most candid and blessed person.
STATEMENTS BY HUSEYIN HILMI IŞIK REGARDING THE SYSTEM OF THE MAHDI
In his works, as a requisite of the Sunna of our Prophet (saas),
Hüseyin Hilmi Işık attached particular importance to the system of
the Mahdi; he related hadiths and described the distinguishing
features of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) with all details:
Some naive people refer to people they imagine to be very great as
the Mahdi. The Messenger (saas) has described the signs of the
Mahdi. There are some 200 such signs in Ibn Hajar Mekki's "Signs of
the Mahdi" and Suyuti's "Al-Burhan." Volume 2, page 297 of the
"Al-Futuhat- al-Islamiyye" says, "The awaited Mahdi will be from the
line of Hazrat Fatima (as). He will appear in Mecca. Muslims will
be without a caliph at that time. He will be made caliph against
his wishes." WE CAN SEE FROM THIS THAT THERE WILL BE NO CALIPH ON
EARTH WHEN THE MAHDI APPEARS, AND THAT THOSE WHO DECLARE THEMSELVES
TO BE MAHDI ARE IN FACT, NOT SO. (Huseyin Hilmi Işık, Eternal
Happiness, p. 350)
Huseyin Hilmi Isik said that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would attain
happiness through the path of prophethood:
There are two paths that lead man to Allah: the first is the kind of
closeness prophets feel to Allah. (THE WAY OF PROPHETHOOD), which
can lead to the reality of the real . ...THE PROPHET JESUS (PBUH)
AND HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) WILL COME WITH SUCH CLOSENES TO ALLAH.
(Eternal Happiness, Hüseyin Hilmi Işık, pp. 919, 920)

Bioghraphy, - Imam Rabbani (Imam of wise guidance) Mujaddid alf thani (Reviver of the second millenium) Shakyh Ahmad Al-Faruqi Al-Sirhindi

Born in Sirhind, India in 1563, Imam Rabbani was a great Islamic
scholar and mujaddid (reviver) of his time. With his works,
lectures and discourses that were highly influential in explaining
the Qur'an in a correct way, Imam Rabbani was a great scholar who
made an impact that will last for centuries, both in his time and
the time after him.
At an early age he learned the Holy Qur'an by heart and became a hafiz .
With his deep knowledge, sincerity and wisdom of his manners, Imam
Rabbani was very successful in rendering the materialist philosophy
ineffective, and in communicating the existence and Oneness of
Allah to large masses.
He defended the moral values of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of our
Prophet (saas) against the irreligiousness of his time, the deviant
ideas in India, and the moral collapse resulting from false Mahdi
claims. He waged a great intellectual struggle to rid the religion
of superstition.
The esteemed Islamic scholar, Imam Rabbani was instrumental in
setting the public at ease when they revolted against the erroneous
practices of the sultan of the time, thus preventing the loss of
unity andbrotherhood.To this end, he was imprisoned many times yet
even under those trying circumstances, he caused many prisoners
to embrace Islam by preaching the morality of the Qur'an.
Imam Rabbani was released after the value of his ideas was
properly appreciated, and he was effective in the enlightenment of
the Islamic world through his works, and the students he continued
to educate until his death in 1624.
He served Islam in the best way possible with his valuable ideas and
views in his three- volume work called " Maktubat- The Letters of
Rabbani ", which is composed of a collection of his five hundred and
twenty six letters along with his many other works.
Works of Imam Rabbani
1. Maktubat : It is composed of three volumes and a collection of
five hundred and twenty six letters. A few of the letters in
Maktubat are in Arabic and others are in Farsi.
2. Radd al-Rawafid
3. Ithbât-un-Nubuwwa
4. Mabda wa Ma'ad
5. Adab Al-Muridin
6. Taliqat Al-Awaarif
7. Risalah at-Tahliliyya
8. Sharh al-Rubaiyat Abd al-Baaqi
9. Ma'arif-i Ladunniyya
10. Mukashifat e-Ayniyya
11. Risalah al-Jadhdhba wa al-Suluk Imam Rabbani is a very
respected and great scholar, who is greatly loved by the Sufi
community. But a very great scholar… Imam Rabbanī Shaykh Ahmad
al-Faruqi al-Sirhindi was born in the Sirhind region of India on the
Ashura day, which is the tenth day of Muharram [Hijri calendar] in
the year 1563 and he lived for 63 years. People called him with
beautiful names like "Ulama ar-Rasikhin" [Profound scholars who have
progressed on the way of tasawwuf and attained to perfection]
"Ghawth al-Wasilin", "Afdal al-Fudala", "Qutb al-Aqtab" [Guide of
that period], "Ali Janab", "Mazhar-al Karamat" [Recipient of
miracle], "Jami al-Darajat", "Imam at-Tariqa" [Imam of Tariqa],
"Mukhtada al-Ahl-al-Haqiqat".
Here it's written ; "His lineage reaches Hazrat Omar (may Allah be
pleased with him) after some 20 generations, may Allah bless him."
In the accounts related from Our Prophet (saas), he said ; "A
person known as Sila [meaning reunion, combiner] will come into my
community." It is said that this account refers to Imam Rabbani.
Yes, Sufism is very nicely told in the works of this valuable
individual. He tells the profundity and subtleties of Sufism, the
truth about matter, and the depth of matter with a very sincere and
nice style. It is understood from his works that he is a very
religious, faithful and sincere Muslim. Such scholars are immediately
recognized from their works and their confident and sincere manner
of speech. He is a person who has met with Khidr (pbuh) several
times and who has experienced many extraordinary spiritual states.
He has many detailed and thorough explanations about Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh).
THE END TIMES BY IMAM RABBANI
Imam Rabbani brought light to the End Times by interpreting the
hadiths narrated from our Prophet (saas). In his writings and
lectures, he attached great significance to the subject of the End
Times, and noted that the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) was a
certain fact. In his works where he told the features of Hazrat
Mahdi (pbuh) in detail, he heralded all Muslims with his coming.
HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh) IS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF WALAYAT
[GUARDIANSHIP]. (Imam Rabbani, The Letters of Rabbani, p. 357. Mahdi
and Dajjal, Saban Dogen, p. 153)
Related from Jabir ibn Abdullah; "WHOEVER DENIES THE APPEARANCE OF
THE MAHDI; WILL CERTAINLY BE DENYING WHAT IS SENT DOWN TO MUHAMMAD
(SAAS). Whoever denies the descent of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the
son of Mary, would certainly be an unbeliever. And the one who does
not accept that the dajjal [antichrist] will come would certainly
be an unbeliever." (Letters of Rabbani, 1/611)
ALL OF THE PORTENTS OF THE DAY OF JUDGMENT TOLD BY OUR PROPHET
(SAAS), THE LOYAL INFORMANT, ARE TRUE. There is no possibility of
falsehood in them. The following are among those:
As contrary to ordinary, the Sun rising from the West
THE EMERGENCE OF MAHDI
The descending of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
(Imam Rabbani, The Letters of Rabbani, 2. volume, 380. Letter, p. 1177-1178
Imam Rabbani informed the appearance date of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as
1400 [Hijri calendar]
Imam Rabbani stated that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come between "the
first and the second one thousand YEARS" after 1,000 (one thousand)
years have passed following passing away of our Prophet (saas).
The reinforcement of the commands of the Qur'an, the renovation of
people takes place in this SECOND THOUSAND . The just witness to the
veracity of this cause is: THE EXISTENCE OF THE PROPHET JESUS (pbuh)
AND MAHDI (pbuh) IN THIS THOUSAND . (Imam Rabbani, The Letters of
Rabbani, vol. 1, p. 611)
According to these explanations of Imam Rabbani, the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come between the thousand and
the second thousand years.
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) informs us that the life of his
community will not exceed 1,500 years:
The life of this community will exceed 1,000 years, yet be limited
to 1,500 years... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-Ashrat al-Sa'ah, p.
299)
According to this, the dominion of Islam will last until 1500 Hijri
calendar. Therefore, between the years 1500-1600 corruption will
take place, and then the Day of Judgment is to be expected.
In another saying of Imam Rabbani regarding this matter, he denoted
that the emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will take place at the
beginning of the century.
That is because his [Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh)] appearance will be at
the beginning of the century. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani,
Letter no. 381, p. 1184)
If the life span of the community of Muhammad will not exceed 1,500
years, then there is one century left to 1500 according to the
Hijri calendar, which is the beginning of 1400. Therefore, THE TIME
OF THE EMERGENCE OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) IS THE BEGINNING OF 1400
ACCORDING TO THE HIJRI CALENDAR .
