Quiz Answer Key
A background layer is the initial layer in a new or opened image, often locked and unmovable. A normal layer is unlocked, allowing for modifications like moving, opacity changes, and transformations.
To convert a background layer to a normal layer, double-click on the background layer where it is written. A dialog box will appear, allowing you to rename the layer, and upon clicking “OK,” it becomes a normal layer (Layer 0).
Opacity controls the overall transparency of the layer, making everything on the layer more or less visible. Fill affects the transparency of the pixels on the layer but doesn’t affect layer styles. Opacity is good for adjusting the overall visibility, while Fill can be useful when working with layer styles to make color or gradients transparent without affecting the effects.
The three main types of layer locks are: Lock Transparent Pixels (prevents painting on transparent areas), Lock Image Pixels (prevents any drawing on the layer), and Lock Position (prevents moving the layer).
To transform a layer, select it in the Layers panel and press Ctrl+T (Command+T on Mac) to activate the Transform tool. Press the Shift key while scaling to maintain proportional scaling.
Blending Modes change how a layer interacts with the layers beneath it, altering the colors and tones. Multiply removes white and darkens the image, useful for placing dark line art over a background. Screen removes black and lightens the image, useful for placing white designs over a background.
The “Multiply” blending mode makes white pixels transparent, allowing the content below the layer to show through. This is useful for removing white backgrounds from line art or sketches.
The “Screen” blending mode makes black pixels transparent, allowing the content below the layer to show through. This is useful for placing a white design on a dark or colorful background.
To create a group, select multiple layers by clicking while holding Shift or Ctrl (Command on Mac) and then press Ctrl+G (Command+G on Mac). Grouping organizes layers, simplifies moving and copying related elements together, and reduces clutter in the Layers panel.
In the Layers panel, there is a search bar at the top. Type the name (or part of the name) of the layer you’re looking for into the search bar, and Photoshop will filter the Layers panel to show only the layers that match your search term.

Photoshop Layers: A Beginner’s Guide
Okay, here’s a briefing document summarizing the key themes and ideas from the provided transcript of the Photoshop tutorial:
Briefing Document: Photoshop Layers Tutorial
Source: Excerpts from “01.pdf” (Transcript of a Photoshop Beginner Series Class #3)
Main Theme: Understanding and utilizing the Layers Panel in Adobe Photoshop. The tutorial aims to demystify layers and demonstrate their fundamental functionalities in a practical, hands-on manner.
Key Concepts and Ideas:
Background Layer vs. Normal Layers:
The tutorial starts by explaining the difference between a “Background Layer” (the default layer when opening an image) and a “Normal Layer.”
The Background Layer is initially locked and restricted, preventing movement or modification without conversion: “Now this background layer is such a layer that you cannot even move it, you cannot do anything. As soon as you drag it, it says convert to normal layer.”
Converting the Background Layer to a Normal Layer unlocks its potential, allowing for opacity adjustments, transformations, and other manipulations. Double-clicking the background layer allows conversion.
Normal layers have accessible options like opacity and are not locked by default, unlike the background layer.
Layer Manipulation (Opacity, Fill, Ordering):
Opacity: Adjusting the opacity of a layer makes it more transparent, allowing underlying layers to show through. “In this you have all the features like you can move it to the right and you can lower its opacity from here so what is the opacity obviously it becomes a little transparent.”
Fill: While similar to opacity in initial appearance, Fill has different applications which will be covered in more detail when layer styles/blending options are discussed later. “well if you look down in this, then you have an option given to fill, the work of fill is something else…if you understand, then it is exactly like opacity, right, so it is your choice, whether you use opacity or fill, both will have the same work, for now”
Layer Ordering: Layers can be rearranged in the Layers Panel to control which elements appear on top of others in the image. Dragging layers up or down changes their visual priority.
Importing Images as Layers: Images can be added as new layers through drag-and-drop or copy-pasting (Control+A, Control+C, Control+V). “…apart from drag and drop, you can also do this, if you are not able to drag and drop, then there is no problem, control A means select all, control C means copy and coming here, control V means paste…”
Layer Locking Options:
Photoshop provides various locking options to protect layers from unwanted modifications:
Lock Transparent Pixels: Prevents painting or editing on transparent areas of the layer. You can only paint on the existing pixels. “see, the paint is not happening here because all the transparent pixels of this layer are locked…if I paint here, it will be done…”
Lock Image Pixels: Disables all painting or editing directly on the layer’s content. “…locked image pixels, now as I locked this, see, this also got locked, that means now I cannot draw anything on this layer…”
Lock Position: Prevents the layer from being moved or transformed. “You cannot move this layer, you cannot transform it…I can work on the entire layer but I cannot move this layer.”
Lock All: Completely locks the layer, disabling all editing and movement. It makes the layer act like the background layer and deactivates any layer-based modifications. “By lock all, it means that this layer of yours has been totally locked and now you can neither move it nor create anything on it.”
Auto Nesting Lock (Artboards): The tutorial mentions a lock related to artboards (introduced in later versions of Photoshop) that prevents layers from accidentally moving between or nesting within different artboards. This topic is briefly addressed but not explored in depth due to its complexity for beginner users. “Auto nesting into and out of artboards…this lock was not there even in 2015 because there were no artboards in it”
Blending Modes:
Blending modes control how a layer interacts with the layers beneath it, creating various visual effects.
The tutorial introduces several key blending modes:
Dissolve: Turns off random pixels based on the opacity set, creating a grainy or textured look. “as I lower the opacity, it will start turning off some random pixels…here random pixels are turning off…”
Multiply: Removes white colors, leaving only the darker tones of the layer visible. “…if you want the white color to disappear completely and the black color to remain purely here…you just go and delete the image. We have to multiply it…”
Screen: Removes black colors, leaving only the lighter tones of the layer visible. “…the black will disappear completely and you will be left with white…”
Overlay: Combines both dark and light colors, making the image darker where the overlaying layer is black and lighter where it is white. “wherever I had black, my image became dark and wherever I had white, my image became bright from there.”
Color: Applies the hue and saturation of the blending layer to the base layer, while maintaining the luminosity of the base layer. “…your normal layer was on some blue tone…it will give a blue color to the overall layer…you can even do this, paint on a black and white picture and change its mode color, then it becomes color…”
The instructor emphasizes that experimenting with different blending modes is crucial to understanding their effects, as the results can be unpredictable based on the colors involved. “you cannot predict what result will come with which colour…it is a bit of a matter of trial and error, you can use where you like it…”
Inverting colors is done by going to Image -> Adjustments -> Invert, or pressing Control + I. This can be useful to convert blacks to whites to apply blending modes effectively.
Layer Management (Searching, Grouping):
The tutorial demonstrates how to search for specific layers by name or type using the search bar at the top of the Layers Panel.
Layers can be grouped together into folders for better organization. Selecting multiple layers and pressing Control+G creates a group. “you can create a group by selecting all of them together…control-G will group.”
Groups can be moved, copied, and manipulated as a single unit. “The advantage of this group is that all the layers in it will remain in one place. You can move it or even copy it.”
Target Audience: Beginners learning Photoshop.
Overall Tone: The tutorial is presented in a friendly and approachable manner, with the instructor using simple language and practical examples to illustrate the concepts.
Key Takeaway: The Layers Panel is the cornerstone of Photoshop, and understanding its features is essential for creating complex and well-organized image edits. Experimentation and practice are encouraged to master the various layer options and blending modes.
Photoshop Layers: FAQs and Essential Techniques
Here are 8 frequently asked questions (FAQs) about working with layers in Adobe Photoshop, based on the provided document.
Q1: What is a background layer in Photoshop, and how does it differ from a normal layer?
A background layer is the default layer you see when you create a new image or open an existing one in Photoshop. It’s initially locked, meaning you can’t move it or directly adjust its opacity. To unlock it and gain full editing capabilities, you need to double-click the background layer in the Layers panel. This converts it into a normal layer (Layer 0, by default), unlocking options like opacity control, blending modes, and the ability to move and transform the layer. A normal layer is not locked by default, allowing for immediate modifications.
Q2: How can I add an image to an existing Photoshop file as a new layer?
There are two primary methods:
Drag and Drop: Open the image you want to add. Select the “Move” tool. Click and drag the image from its current window to the tab of your target Photoshop file. Wait for the target file’s canvas to display (you’ll see a white border around it) and release the mouse button to drop the image as a new layer.
Copy and Paste: Open the image you want to add. Press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Cmd+A (Mac) to select the entire image. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac) to copy it. Go to your target Photoshop file and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the image as a new layer.
Q3: What are the different types of layer locks available in Photoshop, and what does each one do?
Photoshop offers several layer lock options, each restricting different aspects of layer editing:
Lock Transparent Pixels: This prevents you from painting or modifying any of the transparent areas on the layer. You can only paint on the opaque parts of the layer. You can still move the layer.
Lock Image Pixels: This prevents you from directly painting or making any pixel-level edits to the layer content. You can still move and transform the layer.
Lock Position: This prevents you from moving the layer, but you can still make edits to its content (unless other locks are also active).
Lock All: This completely locks the layer, preventing any changes whatsoever, including moving, editing, or adjusting opacity. It essentially behaves like the original background layer before it’s unlocked.
Auto Nesting into and out of Artboards (CC 2017+): This lock prevents the automatic movement of layers between different Artboards.
Q4: What’s the difference between “Opacity” and “Fill” in the Layers panel?
Initially, “Opacity” and “Fill” may appear to do the same thing: make a layer more transparent. However, the difference lies in how they affect layer styles and blending options. “Opacity” affects the entire layer, including any layer styles applied to it. “Fill” only affects the layer’s content pixels, leaving any applied layer styles at full opacity. The document states they function similarly until Layer Styles or Blending Options are used.
Q5: What are Blending Modes, and how can they be used to modify the appearance of layers?
Blending Modes determine how a layer interacts with the layers below it. They offer various ways to blend the colors and tones of layers, creating a wide range of effects. Some common blending modes include:
Dissolve: Creates a grainy, pixelated effect by randomly turning off pixels based on opacity.
Darken Modes (e.g., Multiply): These modes darken the image. Multiply removes white colors, keeping only black tones.
Lighten Modes (e.g., Screen): These modes lighten the image. Screen removes black colors, keeping only white tones.
Overlay: Highlights both dark and light colors within an image
Color: Can be used to color black and white pictures.
The narrator suggests experimenting with different blending modes and using the arrow keys to see which option suits you best.
Q6: How can I remove a white background from an image using blending modes?
The easiest way to remove a purely white background from an image placed on a layer above other content is to change the layer’s blending mode to “Multiply”. This mode makes white pixels transparent, allowing the content beneath to show through, while keeping the black pixels visible.
Q7: How can I invert the colors of a layer?
To invert the colors of a layer (e.g., turning black to white and vice versa), select the layer and press Ctrl+I (Windows) or Cmd+I (Mac), or go to Image > Adjustments > Invert. This will reverse the color values of the pixels on that layer.
Q8: How can I group layers together, and what are the benefits of doing so?
To group layers, select the desired layers in the Layers panel. You can select multiple contiguous layers by clicking on the first layer, holding down the Shift key, and then clicking on the last layer. For non-contiguous layers, click the first layer, hold down the Ctrl/Cmd key, and then click on each additional layer you want to include in the group. Once the layers are selected, press Ctrl+G (Windows) or Cmd+G (Mac) to create a group. Alternatively, click the “Create a new group” icon (folder icon) at the bottom of the Layers panel. Benefits of grouping layers include:
Organization: Keeps your Layers panel tidy and manageable, especially in complex projects with many layers.
Collective Transformations: Allows you to move, transform, or apply effects to the entire group as a single unit.
Copying and Pasting The entire group can be copied and pasted elsewhere.
Photoshop Layers: Management, Blending, and Properties
The Layers panel in Photoshop contains multiple options that allow you to manipulate and organize different elements of an image.
Background Layer:
When you open an image in Photoshop, it often appears as a background layer which is locked.
A locked background layer cannot be moved or have its opacity adjusted until it is converted to a normal layer by double-clicking it.
Once converted to a normal layer, you can rename it and access all the features like opacity control.
Normal Layers:
Normal layers have all options available, such as opacity and blending modes.
These layers are not locked and allow for full manipulation.
Moving Images Between Layers/Files:
You can drag and drop images between files using the move tool.
Alternatively, you can copy (Control+C) and paste (Control+V) images between files.
Opacity and Fill:
Opacity adjusts the transparency of a layer.
Fill also affects transparency, but its full effect is realized with layer styles or blending options.
For now, opacity and fill can be considered the same.
Locks:
Lock Transparent Pixels: Prevents painting on transparent areas of the layer.
When enabled, you can only draw on the non-transparent parts of the layer.
If transparent pixels are unlocked, using “alt + backspace” will fill the entire layer with color.
Lock Image Pixels: Prevents any drawing or editing on the layer but still allows moving and transforming it.
Lock Position: Prevents moving the layer.
You can work on the layer, but its position remains fixed.
Lock All: Completely locks the layer, preventing any modifications.
Disables all features, similar to a background layer.
Auto Nesting (Artboard): Prevents automatic movement of layers between artboards.
This lock ensures that when working with multiple artboards, the artwork stays within its intended artboard.
Blending Modes:
Blending modes affect how layers interact with each other.
Dissolve: Turns off random pixels as opacity is lowered, creating a grainy effect.
Multiply: Removes white colors, leaving only the black colors.
Useful for removing white backgrounds from images.
Screen: Removes black colors, leaving only the white colors.
Inverting colors (Control+I) can switch black to white and vice versa, useful with the Screen blending mode.
Overlay: Highlights both light and dark colors.
Dark areas become darker, and light areas become lighter.
Hue: Applies a color tone to the layer.
Color: Can be used to colorize black and white images.
Luminous: Retains the colors from the layer below.
Layer Search:
You can search for layers by name or effect.
Filter layers by type (image, pixel, adjustment layer, etc.).
Layer Management:
Delete Layer: Click the layer and delete it.
Groups:
You can group layers by selecting them and pressing Control+G.
Groups act like folders, keeping layers organized.
Groups can be moved and copied.
Photoshop: Converting Background Layers to Normal Layers
When an image is first opened in Photoshop, it often appears as a background layer, which has certain restrictions. To unlock the full potential for editing, this background layer needs to be converted into a normal layer.
HereтАЩs how you can convert a background layer to a normal layer and the implications of doing so:
Conversion Process: To convert a background layer into a normal layer, simply double-click on the background layer in the Layers panel. A dialog box will appear, allowing you to rename the layer. Upon clicking “OK”, the background layer is transformed into a normal layer.
Features of a Normal Layer: Once the layer is converted, it becomes a normal layer, unlocking several features:
Moveable: The layer can be moved freely within the canvas.
Opacity Adjustments: You can adjust the opacity of the layer, making it more or less transparent.
Blending Modes: Access to blending modes, which allow you to change how the layer interacts with the layers beneath it.
Unlocked: The layer is no longer locked, meaning you can make any modifications you like.
Moving Images Between Layers and Files in Photoshop
To move images between layers or files in Photoshop, you can use the drag-and-drop method. HereтАЩs how:
Using the Move Tool: Select the move tool in Photoshop.
Dragging the Image: Click on the image you want to move and drag it.
Moving Between Files: If you are moving the image to another file, drag the image to the destination file’s tab. Once you hover over the tab, the destination file will open. Then, drag the image onto the canvas of the destination file and release the mouse button to drop the image. A white border around the canvas indicates where you are dropping the image.
Alternatively, you can also copy and paste images between files:
Copy: Select all (Control+A) the contents of the image you wish to move, and then copy it (Control+C).
Paste: Go to the destination file and paste (Control+V) the image.
Photoshop: Locking Transparent Pixels in Layers
The Lock Transparent Pixels option in Photoshop’s Layers panel allows you to restrict drawing or painting only to the non-transparent areas of a layer. When this lock is enabled, the transparent pixels of the layer are protected, and you can only modify the parts of the layer that already contain content.
Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Functionality: When you lock transparent pixels, you prevent any modifications to the transparent areas of the selected layer. This means you can only draw or paint on the parts of the layer that already have pixels.
Visual Indicator: A small lock icon appears on the layer in the Layers panel when transparent pixels are locked.
Use Case: This lock is useful when you want to add details or shading to an object on a layer without accidentally painting outside its boundaries.
Behavior:
With transparent pixels locked, attempting to draw on a transparent area will have no effect.
Drawing on existing, non-transparent pixels will work as expected.
Filling the Layer: If transparent pixels are unlocked, using “Alt + Backspace” will fill the entire layer with the foreground color, overwriting any existing content. If the transparent pixels are locked, “Alt + Backspace” will only fill the non-transparent pixels.
Moving and Transforming: Locking transparent pixels does not prevent you from moving or transforming the layer. You can still adjust the position and size of the layer, but you cannot alter its transparent areas.
Photoshop Blending Modes: A Comprehensive Guide
Blending modes in Photoshop are used to determine how layers interact with each other, creating various effects. HereтАЩs a detailed overview of how to use blending modes:
Accessing Blending Modes: Blending modes are located at the top of the Layers panel. They offer a range of options that change how the selected layer blends with the layers beneath it.
Types of Blending Modes and Their Uses:
Dissolve: This mode turns off random pixels as the opacity is lowered, creating a grainy or textured effect. When the opacity is reduced, instead of becoming transparent, random pixels disappear.
Darken Modes: This set of modes generally produces darker colors or removes lighter colors.
Multiply: This mode removes white colors, leaving only the black colors. It is useful for removing white backgrounds from images.
Lighten Modes: These modes generally produce lighter colors or remove darker colors.
Screen: This mode removes black colors, leaving only the white colors. Inverting the colors (Control+I) can switch black to white and vice versa, which is useful with the Screen blending mode.
Overlay: This mode highlights both light and dark colors. Dark areas become darker, and light areas become lighter. It makes the image dark where there is black and light where there is white.
Hue: This mode applies a color tone to the layer. For example, applying a blue hue will give the overall layer a blue tone.
Color: This mode can be used to colorize black and white images.
Luminous: This mode retains the colors from the layer below, making them prominent regardless of the color applied on the current layer.
Practical Applications and Tips:
Removing White Backgrounds: Use the Multiply blending mode to make white backgrounds disappear, leaving only the darker elements.
Removing Black Backgrounds: Use the Screen blending mode to remove black backgrounds and keep the white elements.
Creating Overlays: The Overlay mode is useful for creating effects where both light and dark areas are enhanced.
Colorizing: Use the Color mode to add specific colors to an image, especially useful for black and white photos.
Experimentation: Since the results of blending modes can vary based on the colors and content of the layers, it’s often necessary to experiment to achieve the desired effect. You can cycle through different blending modes using the arrow keys to see the results in real-time.
Non-Predictable Results: Some blending modes produce results that may not be immediately predictable, especially with colored images. Trial and error can help in understanding their effects.
Layers Panel – Adobe Photoshop for Beginners – Class 3 – Urdu / Hindi
The Original Text
[Music] Assalam Walekum Welcome to GF, a mentor, I am your teacher Imran and today this is our class number three of Photoshop beginner series and today our topic is layers, that is, the layers panel on the right end, some students find it a little scary, a little frightening, but it is not that much of a problem, I had given you guys the idea of тАЛтАЛlayers earlier that layers are very important, let’s see today what other options do we get with layers and how easy the layers panel is, you can find things very easily with great fun, so let’s see, so first of all I am taking a new file from here and see, I am telling you the options of some layers from the very basic point of view and I am telling you the options of this one of 1000, 500, well it does not matter, you can take any size and so let’s suppose here if you see, you have the background, if this is now our focus today is on this panel, the entire layer’s end The first thing that you see is if you take a new image or even open any image, you see this background layer. In this, if I open any image, so let’s suppose I am opening this image and okay, so as soon as I open this image, you can see here in it, here also you have a background layer. Now this background layer is such a layer that you cannot even move it, you cannot do anything. As soon as you drag it, it says convert to normal layer. Now what is this normal layer? Normal layer is such a layer in which all these options like opacity etc. are present. This layer is not locked. Normal layer is locked in this way. Look here, if you notice carefully, there is a small lock, right, so this layer is locked. If instead of this, I take a layer above and suppose I create anything on it and let’s take this yellow color and paint it here. Okay, now as I painted, this layer is a normal layer. In this you have all the features like you can move it to the right and you can lower its opacity from here so what is the opacity obviously it becomes a little transparent okay below this you have the fill given here now this fill etc. is obviously present on it but what if you want that we can use this background layer on top and we can lower the opacity on it then we can simply do this work that double click on it like on the background layer you have to simply double click where it is written and this layer zero will be given its name itself if you want you can change its name you will click ok as soon as you click ok here you have the layer zero converted now see you have all these features and in fact if I want that yes I keep this yellow colour layer of mine below and I keep it on top now why should I keep it on top maybe I wanted to lower its opacity see this and and it is possible that I want to change its I wanted to cut a little, like suppose I selected this much part and deleted it, so now see, it’s a simple thing that I wanted this yellow color below and this layer of mine is coming on top, so yes, this is possible only when you have this normal layer or transparent layer, right after your background layer, which is coming to you and that is your transparent layer, you know, okay, if you see here, now it is not necessary that you create something, you can also bring another image, so let’s bring some other image open and I am opening this image and I am simply dragging it with the move tool to this tab and leaving it here, so what will happen is that simply a copy of it will come to us here, so I dragged this image from here and dropped it here, see, apart from drag and drop, you can also do this, if you are not able to drag and drop, then there is no problem, control A means select all, control C means copy and coming here, control V means paste, so you can also do these things You can do it, it is not necessary that you only do drag and drop, so if you want to do drag and drop, then I will tell you once again that simply you will go to this file and drag and which tool will you use, this move tool, okay, by dragging with this you have to come up on this tab, now come down and see here, you will see a white border on or around your entire canvas, okay, this shows where you are dropping, right, now as soon as you release the mouse button, this image will come here, okay, so it is quite simple, now see here in this, if I am lowering its opacity, then this is happening, okay, well if you look down in this, then you have an option given to fill, the work of fill is something else, when we will see layer styles or blending options, we will not see in today’s class, we will see later, but we will see it is very useful, but for now, if you understand, then it is exactly like opacity, right, so it is your choice, whether you use opacity or fill, both will have the same work, for now Its further work is that we will see in some other class but we will definitely see that if you come here next to it, then you have some locks given, so for example if I lock this one, this is your transparent pixels lock transparent pixels, as soon as I lock it, see, a small lock has been formed here, but in locking it your layer has not been completely locked, you can still move it, okay, you can even transform, now what is transform, how will it happen, if you press control t, then you can transform any layer, so as soon as I pressed control t, see, here you have got this bounding box, now you can make it smaller, you can destroy it like this, so if you do not want to destroy it, then please press shift so that it can be proportionally smaller or bigger, okay, so I proportionally reduced it a little and now brought it here and as soon as you finalize, your editing or transformation is finalized, so please press enter on this now So after pressing enter, now see, its size has become smaller, now see what was the advantage of this lock, as I said, you have locked it, but even after locking, your layer is moving, so let’s say I want to paint something here, see, the paint is not happening here because all the transparent pixels of this layer are locked, yes, of course, if I paint here, it will be done, so this can be done very easily, you can do things like this and the interesting thing is that if your transparent pixels are locked, then you can simply do all back space, so just like the foreground color is filled, you can fill here, and if these transparent pixels of yours are not locked, then if you do all back space, then your entire layer will be filled with color and that image of yours will be gone, okay, so just remember now that locked transparent pixels means all the extra area, that is, if I hide the layer below for a while, then you will see that yes, this entire layer is transparent. Pixels are these, they are locked, so if you come here moving the brush or you are drawing anything with any tool, then you will be able to draw only in that area which is not locked, that means what was locked, only the transparent area, after this if I unlock this and lock this one, so what is this, locked image pixels, now as I locked this, see, this also got locked, that means now I cannot draw anything on this layer, as soon as I try to draw, it is giving me an error that I could not use the brush tool because the layer is locked, but still I can move it, I can transform it and it’s quite easy, it’s just that now you cannot create anything on this layer, okay, next you are coming to this, this will be your locked position, now in this you cannot move this layer, you cannot transform it, I am doing control T, nothing is happening, okay, but remember I had unlocked both of them just now, so that It means that I can work on the entire layer but I cannot move this layer. So, many times we need to work on something but we don’t want to move it. So, we just lock its position. Yes, this can also be done. For example, you said that it should not move and the secondary transparent pixels should be locked. So, now you see, if I am moving the brush, it is happening only in this part and you are not able to move this layer. So, look here, these two types of locks have been added to you. Okay, so now I have unlocked all of them. This is a new lock that has come to you. I guess, this was added since CC 2017. Auto nesting into and out of artboards. Well, it is related to artboard. At this time, there is no artboard in our file. I am stopping it for now. When we will see the artboards, I will definitely tell you guys about it. Otherwise, you guys will get confused. Let it come here. By the way, by the way, this This lock was not there even in 2015 because there were no artboards in it, right, so as far as artboards are concerned, or I think they were, I don’t know, I don’t remember, but it was definitely not there in CS6. In CS6, there were only one or two or four locks. Well, let me tell you the advantage of this artboard is that when we are working on multiple artboards, it should not automatically move to another artboard, it should not get nested. Problems arise sometimes that this artwork was here, it was on this artboard and then it is also in that artboard. It was found that when I removed it from one place, it got removed from the other place as well. So, this is a lock to prevent that nesting. So, right now you guys might get a little confused about this. Just forget it, there is no issue in this. We will look into it later. Now next, you have this lock all. By lock all, it means that this layer of yours has been totally locked and now you can neither move it nor create anything on it. You cannot do anything. It has become exactly like your Opacity means the background layer got locked in the same way and all the features above got disabled so let me tell you one more thing that all your locks are fine apart from this you can lower the opacity etc. in all of them but remember that if you lock all then all your things will also get disabled so I believe you guys must have understood locks very well next we have a very important thing given here see I am actually going from below and will keep coming up now this is we have blending modes in photo photoshop however this thing is also present in illustrator but it is used so much in photoshop on layers in fact apart from layers it is present in many places blending modes so if you understand blending mode here then you will also understand to a great extent wherever it is available in other tools so first of all so see one thing that if I am using this image When I am lowering the opacity, it is becoming more graduated, okay, but if I come from here and change its blending mode, dissolving is happening, so you can control this thing through these options, these are called blending modes, blending options are a different thing, these are blending modes, okay, so if I do dissolving option, there is no problem, yes, if I lower its opacity now, then something different will happen, this is a grainy, noisy result, you are getting the result, now what is happening, if I zoom it a lot and I make its opacity full, then you will understand now that as I lower the opacity, it will start turning off some random pixels, that means see, usually when we lower the opacity, the pixels start turning transparent, here it is not becoming transparent, here random pixels are turning off, so because of which you have a big A very textured kind of result is coming out directly if I zoom out to the right so this is [music] the results that will come out will be like this which is unpredictable because different results are coming with every colour in these yes let me tell you a few things like if you look here it is dark noon you can see here there is a line so this is a complete set which will always be giving you the response of dark colours or will be giving the result of dark colours as soon as I do this you have dark colours and light colours will get removed okay and there is a multiply in it which is being used very intensively if we want to remove white completely now for example I have closed this image and let’s open an image which is a little different this is an image I have taken and although it has transparent pixels I suppose I will make it white and merge it okay how I did the merge is a matter of later control This is a shortcut. No matter how many layers you want to merge, we don’t do it manually. I am doing this only to explain to you that this is such an image which has black and white artwork. There is no other color in it, it is only purely black or purely white. I am bringing this image to this image of mine. Now I have brought it here. Let’s zoom in and see. I want the white color to be completely removed from this image. So if you are thinking that I should select it with the magic wand. Well, it is possible that with the magic wand, you can remove all these contents, etc., and click on white and press delete, then yes it will be done. But sometimes there are some issues. Anyway, this can also be solved. But I want to tell you a very different technique than this. Sometimes we do too much work with these blending modes. Now remember that if you want the white color to disappear completely and the black color to remain purely here, you don’t have to do anything, you just go and delete the image. We have to multiply it [Music] [Music] That’s straight, like here there is a division which is responding to dark colors and this one is responding to light colors, so if I look at light colors, here the screen is at second number, see here the multiply is at second number and in this second portion the screen is at second number, if I zoom in then the black pure will disappear, the black will disappear completely and you will be left with white, so now if you zoom in and see it, then you have simply white color and the black color has completely disappeared, well I will give you a small tip that if I have kept any of your layers in normal mode right now, if you press control I or go to image go to adjustment and you have a given invert, remember this is control I which we were using for selection, it was inverse shift control I this is only for selection but if you do image adjustment and invert then the colors will be inverted, that is black which It will be converted to white and the white will be converted to black. As soon as I click on it or press Control I on the keyboard, okay, what happened is that all the white that was there became black and all the black that was there became white. Now if I screen it, the black will disappear and this design of ours is present in front of you and you must have seen such artworks many times where there is an image at the back and a design is made on top of the white or some times text is placed, right, so I believe you must have understood this and it is a very useful thing. In this, you do not need any selection etc. Many times you simply pick up an image with a sketch or sketch it yourself and it is on a white paper, you simply placed it on top of the image, Control I it means it will be inverted and by multiplying or screening you can show your artwork. If you screen then white will be visible, if you multiply then black will be visible. Now, the third portion in this is highlighting both of yours, meaning both are visible. There are light colours as well as dark colours, so if I overlay it, then look carefully, wherever I had black, my image became dark and wherever I had white, my image became bright from there. If you look very carefully, see this here very clearly you can see that it was black here but the image is visible, all the content inside is visible from everywhere, but what is happening is that where there is black, it becomes dark, where there was white, it becomes light. Now remember, as I said in the beginning, there are so many of these, you cannot predict what result will come with which colour. So, if I bring a coloured image here, then you will get completely different things. I am picking up this image and bringing it here and see this, if I lighten it, then the light result will be coming, if I darken it, then the dark result will be coming, but then again in multiply, a little different colour in burn and different in linear burn and different and so on, but usually what do we do? We are doing that once we click here and by pressing down the arrow keys from the keyboard we are seeing, where we get a satisfactory result we stop there, so there is a bit of guess work involved in this, definitely we cannot call it fixed values, fixed values тАЛтАЛtwo three, as I told you guys what dissolve does, everyone knows that as soon as you bring down the opacity, random pixels will go off, you will get a result of a little texture type or green type, what will multiply do, it will make your whites disappear completely, it will keep the blacks and what will screen do, it will make all your blacks disappear and keep the whites in front, right, the third one that I told you is overlay, what is overlay doing that it is showing both, right, b b again, if now you have a colored image, then a little different result is coming, yes, it is a bit of a matter of trial and error, you can use where you like it, but as you practice, you will get a good sense of it and You must be using these blending modes very confidently in creating things. Okay, lastly, there is some difference given here. It is giving very opposite results. Exclusion and then Subtract and Divide. So again, different results must be coming with each color. I am not going to tell you anything or anyone about what result will come from which. I am just telling you that you will get an idea that when you use these, you will start understanding. Now the next thing you have here is Hue. Hue is the color. Look, what is happening is that your normal layer was on some blue tone. That’s right, it will give a blue color to the overall layer. But if you want exactly the same colors, then color it. Now this color will be useful. Many times, we can take its help in coloring black and white pictures. So, for example, if we talk about this layer only, I am taking a new layer from here and here I am wanting I want this apple to become some other color, that means it should become blue. Now I am doing a strange thing, I know, I took the blue color and I made my brush a little smaller and pressed it a little, okay Rat, and I simply started painting on it. Now obviously, you all know that if I color it like this, it will look very bad. So do a very simple thing, make a selection of it. Please, I quickly took this quick selection and started selecting this L. Coming to this layer, I am making the brush bigger, I hope you all remember the previous class well. Okay, so I have selected this L. I will take a little part out of the selection. So I took this selection and I simply came to this new layer and filled it with blue color. Now obviously, it looks so bad that I mean the L has disappeared. You can do this, come from here and put its color mode, which is the blending mode, on color. What will happen is that your L will become blue. Obviously we have many other ways to change its color, very good ways for now, just for my beginners students, this is enough for them, you can even do this, paint on a black and white picture and change its mode color, then it becomes color, so to a large extent you can get your work done with this, Luminous is a bit strange and but what is happening with Luminous is that the color which was below will keep coming, now no matter what your color is from above, for example, even if I make it red, I filled it red, nothing happened, only green came, because actually green was in it, it will keep bringing it in front of you by making it prominent, so anyway don’t worry about this, which you are not able to understand, there is no issue at least right now you can play with multiply screen overlay and color in the beginning, well, okay, so I hope you guys must have understood everything till here, now if you come to the top, then these are some very interesting things placed here. Sometimes it happens that we have a file which has a lot of layers. Now if we want to select or search any of the many layers, then we can do it from here. Like for example, you tell me the name. Let’s say I said layer. As soon as I typed that, I saw that the background layer disappeared. And here the file with the name of the layer is visible. And you can also search by name. Sometimes you can search by some effect, bevel or emoji applied or what, we will see later. But it can also be that you can see the kind that like the image is pixels or rar or your adjustment layer. Now obviously there was no adjustment layer in it. Type layer is not there either. Vector layer is not there either. So whatever it is, you can directly turn it on from here and that particular type of layer will start appearing to you. Remember, in Illustrator, I mean sorry [music] [music], if you want to delete it, then you simply click on it. Go and it will keep asking you if you check ‘Don’t show again’ then it won’t ask you again. I usually keep it on so that if I accidentally click here, my layer doesn’t disappear and I do n’t even know about it. So I always keep it on. The second thing is that if you have a lot of layers, you can create a group by selecting all of them together. What happens in a group is that it becomes a kind of folder. So let’s suppose I selected all these layers, clicked on it, pressed shift and clicked here, these will be selected together. Or you can also do this, I clicked here, pressed control and clicked here and skipped it. If I press control-G, then control-G will group. See, you have a group. The advantage of this group is that all the layers in it will remain in one place. I will also explain it to you in a new file. Let’s say I have this one. Oh sorry, I created it on the background layer itself. Let’s say I have this one and I want to create some more layers. I make circles of different colours on different layers, like this one, I took another layer and let’s take one of these, so don’t worry, I have taken my brush in a blurry way. Now, I selected all these three layers by holding down shift. This, I clicked here, holding down shift, clicked here and control. What is the advantage of this? Now, this is your complete group. You can move it or even copy it. See how the copy will be done. If you drag with alt, it will be copied. Just like in illustrator. And see here, the entire group has been copied. Similarly, not an empty group, you can actually copy the layer as well. In the same way, you will use this move tool with alt and you can move it. So, I hope you guys have understood till now. There are a few things here regarding the group. Let’s stop now. I will definitely explain you in the upcoming classes. That’s all for today’s class. I hope you guys liked it. And if you liked it, then Please like and if you have n’t subscribed then please subscribe thank you [music]

Tariffs and Trade: On April 2nd, reciprocal tariffs will take effect, so that whatever other countries tariff the U.S., the U.S. will tariff them. The speaker states that the U.S. has been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth and that this will no longer be allowed.
Investment in America: Thanks to “America First policies,” there has been $1.7 trillion of new investment in America in just the past few weeks.
Panama Canal: The speaker’s administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, which was given away by the Carter Administration for $1, but that agreement has been severely violated.

The speaker also indicated that they have received strong signals from Russia that they are ready for peace.
Law and Order Address: Justice, Borders, and Cartels
The speaker’s address includes several points related to law and order.
Justice System and Law Enforcement:
The speaker states that in recent years, the justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics, with many jurisdictions ceasing to enforce the law against dangerous repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents.
The speaker claims his administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal, and partial justice under the Constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and the DOJ.
The speaker expresses support for police officers, stating they deserve support, protection, and respect, and that his administration is giving it to them.
An executive order has already been signed requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and Congress is being asked to pass that policy into permanent law. The speaker is also asking for a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America’s police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed.
Border Security and Immigration:
The speaker declared a national emergency on the southern border and deployed the U.S. Military and border patrol to repel the invasion of the country.
The speaker states that his administration has launched a sweeping border and immigration crackdown.
The speaker notes that Mexican authorities handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders.
The speaker sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how the U.S. will eliminate threats to the homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history.
Combating Criminal Organizations:
The Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, along with MS13 and Mexican drug cartels, have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations.
The speaker aims to round up every last one of these terrorists, forcibly remove them from the country, or, if they’re too dangerous, put them in jail and have them stand trial in the U.S.
The territory to the immediate south of the U.S. border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control. The speaker says the cartels are waging war in America, and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels.
Five nights ago, Mexican authorities handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country to the U.S. because of tariff policies being imposed on them.
Addressing Social Issues: Education, Gender, and Health Policies
The speaker’s address touches on several social issues, including education, gender, and health.
Key social issues discussed in the address:
English as the Official Language: An order was signed making English the official language of the United States.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): The speaker claims to have ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across the federal government, the private sector, and the military. The speaker believes that individuals should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.
Critical Race Theory: The speaker claims to have removed the poison of critical race theory from public schools.
Gender Identity:
An order was signed making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.
An executive order was signed to ban men from playing in women’s sports. Schools will kick men off the girls’ team, or they will lose all federal funding.
Wasteful Spending:
The speaker mentions wasteful spending, including “$45 million for diversity equity and inclusion Scholarships in Burma” and “$8 million to promote lgbtqi Plus in the African nation of luto”.
The speaker claims to have swiftly terminated these scams.
Wokeness: The speaker states that wokeness is being removed from schools, the military, and society.
Child Health and Safety:
The speaker is asking Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.
The speaker references a presidential commission to make America healthy again, chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with the goal of getting toxins out of the environment and poisons out of the food supply to keep children healthy and strong.
The speaker discusses increasing rates of child cancer and autism.
Secret Social Transitioning in Schools: The speaker references an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating children with transgender ideology and cutting off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of youth.

thank you thank you very much thank you very much it’s great honor thank you very much speaker Johnson vice president Vance the first lady of the United States members of the United States Congress thank you very much and to my fellow citizens America is back six weeks ago I stood beneath the Dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America from that moment on it has been nothing but Swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country we have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years and we are just getting started I returned to this chamber tonight to report that America’s momentum is back our spirit is back our pride is back our confidence is back and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before the American dream is Unstoppable and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again there never been anything like it the presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades we won all seven swing States giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes we won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our [Applause] country and one counties in our country 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican now for the first time in modern history more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction in fact it’s an astonishing record 27 point swing the most ever likewise small business optimism so it’s single largest one month gain ever recorded a 41o jump members are directed to uphold and maintain theorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions that’s your warning members are engaging in willful in continuing breach of the Quorum and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant-at-arms to

the past 6 weeks I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions a record to restore Common Sense safety optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land the people elected me to do the job and I’m doing it in in fact it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency it’s our presidency is the most successful in the history of our nation by many and what makes it even more impressive is that do you know who number two is George Washington how about that how about I don’t know about that list but but we’ll take it within hours of taking the oath of office I declared a National Emergency on our Southern border and I deployed the US Military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country and what a job they’ve done as a result illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever they heard my words and they chose not to come much easier that way in comparison under Joe Biden the worst president in American history there were hundred of thousands of illegal Crossings a month and virtually all of them including murderers drug dealers gang members and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released into our country who would want to do that this is my fifth such speech to Congress and once again I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud nothing I can do I could find a cure to the most devastating disease a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy and history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded and these people sitting right here will not clap will not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements they won’t do it no matter what five five times I’ve been up here it’s very sad and it just shouldn’t be this way so Democrats sitting before me for just this one night why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America for the good of our nation let’s work together and let’s truly make America great again every day my Administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs to bring a future that America deserves and we’re doing it this is a time for Big Dreams and bold action upon taking office I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring a freeze on all new federal regulations and a freeze on all foreign aid I terminated the ridiculous green news scam I withdrew from the unfair Paris climate Accord which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization and I also withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council we ended all of Biden’s environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable and importantly we ended the last administration’s insane electric vehicle mandate saving our Auto Workers and companies from economic destruction to unshackle our economy I have directed that for every one new regulation 10 old regulations must be eliminated just like I did in my very successful first and in that first term we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before we ordered all federal workers to return to the office they will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job and we have ended weaponized government where as an example a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me how did that work out not too not too good and I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America it’s back and two days ago I signed an order making English the official language of the United States States of America I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and likewise I renamed for a great President William mck Ley Mount McKinley again beautiful last we love Al last We’ve Ended the tyranny of so-called diversity equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military and our country will be woke no longer we believe that whether you are a doctor an accountant a lawyer or an heir traffic controller you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence not race or gender very important you should be hired based on Merit and the Supreme Court in A Brave and very powerful decision has allowed us to do so thank you thank you very much we have removed the poison of critical race Theory from our public schools and I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders male and female I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women’s sports three years ago pton McNab was an Allstar High School athlete one of the best preparing for a future in college sports but when her girls volleyball match was invaded by a male he smashed the ball so hard in Payton’s face causing traumatic brain injury partially paralyzing her right side and ending her athletic career it was a shot like she’s never seen before she’s never seen anything like it Payton is here tonight in the gallery and pton from now on schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding and if you really want to see numbers just take a look at what happened in the woman’s boxing weightlifting track and field swimming or cycling where a male recently finished a longdistance race 5 hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by 5 hours broke the record by 5 hours it’s demeaning for women and it’s very bad for our country we’re not going to put up with it any longer what I have just described is only a small fraction of the Common Sense Revolution that is now because of us sweeping the entire world Common Sense has become a common theme and we will never go back never never going to let that happen among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to Working Families as you know we inherited from the last Administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare their policies drove up Energy prices pushed up grocery costs and drove the necessities of life Out Of Reach for millions and millions of Americans they’ve never had anything like it we suffered the worst inflation in 48 years but perhaps even in the history hist of our country they’re not sure as president I’m fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again Joe Biden is especially let the price of eggs get out of control the egg prices out of control and we’re working hard to get it back down secretary do a good job on that you inherited a total mess from the previous administration do a good job a major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly reducing the cost of energy the previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95% slowed pipeline construction to a halt and closed more than 100 power plants we are opening up many of those power plants right now and frankly we have never seen anything like it that’s why on my first day in office I declared a national Energy emergency as you’ve heard me say many times we have more Liquid Gold under our feet than any Nation on Earth and by far and now I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it it’s called drill baby drill my Administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska among the largest in the world where Japan South Korea and other nations want to be our partner with Investments of trillions of dollars each there’s never been anything like that one it will be truly spectacular it’s all set to go the permitting has got and later this week I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare Earths here in the USA to further combat inflation we will not only be reducing the cost of energy but we’ll be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars and to that end I have created the brand new Department of government efficiency go perhaps you’ve heard of it perhaps which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight thank you Elon he’s working very hard he didn’t need this he didn’t need this thank you very much we app appreciate it everybody here even this side appreciates it I believe they just don’t want to admit that just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified 22 billion doar from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens $45 million for diversity equity and inclusion Scholarships in Burma $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants nobody knows what that is $8 million to promote lgbtqi Plus in the African nation of luto which nobody has ever heard of $60 million for indigenous peoples and afro Colombian empowerment in central America $60 million $8 million for making mice transgender this is real $32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in mova $10 million for male circumcision in mosambique 20 million dollar for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East it’s a program $20 million for a program $1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of homes committee headed up and we know she’s involved just at the last moment the money was passed over by a woman named Stacy Abrams have you ever heard of her a $3.5 million Consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring $1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia $14 million for social cohesion in Mali $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City he’s a real estate developer he’s done very well $250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia Asia is doing very well with learning we don’t know what we’re doing should use it ourselves now1 million for Dei contracts at the Department of Education the most ever paid nothing even like it under the Trump Administration all of these scams and they’re far worse but I didn’t think it was appropriate to talk about them they’re so bad many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly terminated by a group of very intelligent mostly young people headed up by Elon and we appreciate it we found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and we’ve taken back the money and reduced our debt to fight inflation and other things taking back a lot of that money we got it just in time this is just the beginning the government accountability office federal government office has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation and we are working very hard to stop it we’re going to we’re also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the Social Security program for our seniors and that our seniors and people that we love rely on Believe It or Not government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old it lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119 I don’t know any of them I know some people that are rather elderly but not quite that elderly 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149 and money is being paid to many of them and we’re searching right now fact Pam good luck good luck you’re going to find it with a lot of money is paid out to people because it just keeps getting paid and paid and nobody does and it really hurts Social Security and hurts our country 1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people according to the Social Security databases are age over 160 years old we have a healthier country than I thought Bobby including to finish 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229 one person between the age of 240 and 249 and one person is listed at 360 years of age more than 100 years more than a 100 years older than our country but we’re going to find out where that money is going and it’s not going to be pretty by slashing all of the fraud waste and theft we can find we will defeat inflation bring down mortgage rates lower car payment ments and grocery prices protect our seniors and put more money in the pockets of American families and today interest rates took a beautiful Drop big beautiful Drop it’s about time and in the near future I want to to do what has not been done in 24 years balance the federal budget we’re going to balance it with that goal in mind we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card which goes on sale very very soon for $5 million we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship it’s like the green card but better and more sophisticated and these people will have to pay tax in our country they won’t have to pay tax from where they came the money that they’ve made you wouldn’t want to do that but then have to pay tax create jobs they’ll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country instead of having them be being forced out number one at the top school as an example being forced out and not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there so while we take out the criminals killers traffickers and child Predators who are allowed to enter our country under the open border policy of these people the Democrats the Biden Administration the open border insane policies that you’ve allowed to destroy our country we will now bring in brilliant hardworking job creating people they’re going to pay a lot of money and we’re going to reduce our debt with that money Americans have given us a mandate for bold and profound change for nearly 100 years the federal bureaucracy has grown until it has crushed our freedoms ballooned our deficits and held back America’s potential in every possible way the nation founded by pioneers and Risk Takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages of regulations and debt approvals that should take 10 days to get instead take 10 years 15 years and even 20 years before you rejected meanwhile we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing up to work my Administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy and we will restore true democracy to America again and any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office [Applause] immediately because we are draining the swamp it’s very simple and the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over and the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody they’re in there they’re waiting for you to vote and I’m sure that the people on my right I don’t mean the Republican right but my right right here I’m sure you’re going to vote for those tax cuts because otherwise I don’t believe the people will ever vote you into office so I’m doing you a big favor by telling you that but I know this group is going to be voting for the tax thank you it’s a very very big part of our plan we had tremendous success in our first term with it a very big part of our plan we’re seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation I’m calling for no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors good J and I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible but only if the car is made in America and by the way we’re going to have growth in the Auto industry like nobody’s ever seen plants are opening up all over the place deals are being made never seen that’s a combination of the election win and tariffs it’s a beautiful word isn’t it that along with our other policies will allow our Auto industry to absolutely boom it’s going to Boom spoke to the majors today all three the top people and they’re so excited in fact already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana one of the largest anywhere in the world and this has taken place since our great Victory on November 5th a date which was will hopefully go down as one of the most important in the history of our country in addition as part of our tax cuts we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing and just as we did before we will provide 100% expensing it will be retroactive to January 20th 2025 and it was one of the main reasons why our tax cuts were so successful in our first term giving us the most successful economy in the history of our country first term we had a great first term if you don’t make your product in America however under the Trump Administration you will pay a tariff and in some cases is a rather large one other countries have used tariffs against us for decades and now it’s our turn to start using them against those other countries on average the European Union China Brazil India Mexico and Canada have you heard of them and countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them it’s very unfair India charges us Auto tariffs higher than 100% China’s average tariff on our products is twice twice what we charge them and South Korea’s average tariff is four times higher think of that four times higher and we give so much help militarily and in so many other ways to South Korea but that’s what happens this is happening by friend and foe this system is not fair to the United States and never was and so on April 2nd I wanted to make it April 1st but I didn’t want to be accused of April Fool’s Day that’s what that’s not just one day was cost us a lot of money but we’re going to do it in April I’m a very superstitious person April 2nd reciprocal tariffs kick in and whatever they tariff us other countries we will tariff them that’s reciprocal back and forth whatever they tax us we will tax them if they do not monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market then we will do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our Market there’s a lot of that too they don’t even allow us in their Market we will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before I did it with China and I did it with others and the Biden Administration couldn’t do anything about it because it was so much money they couldn’t do anything about it we have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth and we will not let that happen any [Applause] longer much has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada but we have very large deficits with both of them but even more importantly they’ve allowed fentol to come into our country at levels never seen before killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young beautiful people destroying families nobody’s ever seen anything like it they are in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions of dollars we pay subsidies to Canada and to Mexico of hundreds of billions of dollars and the United States will not be doing that any longer we’re not going to do it any longer thanks to our America First policies we’re putting into place we have had $1.7 trillion dollar of new investment in America in just the past few weeks the combination of the election and our economic policies that people of SoftBank one of the most brilliant anywhere in the world announced a $200 billion investment open Ai and Oracle Larry Ellison announced $500 billion investment which they wouldn’t have done if Kamala had won Apple announced $500 billion investment Tim Cook called me he said I cannot spend it fast enough it’s going to be much higher than that I believe they’ll be building their plants here instead of in China and just yesterday Taiwan semiconductor the biggest in the world most powerful in the world has a tremendous amount 97% of the market announced a $165 billion investment to build the most powerful chips on earth right here in the USA and we’re not giving them any money your chips sack is a horrible horrible thing we give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn’t mean a thing they take our money and they don’t spend it all that meant to them were giving them no money all that was important to them was they didn’t want to pay the Tariff so they came in their building and many other companies are coming we don’t have to give them money we just want to protect our businesses and our people and they will come because they won’t have to pay tariffs if they build in America so it’s very amazing you should get rid of the chip act and whatever is left over Mr Speaker you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to our new trade policy will also be great for the American Farmer I love the farmer who will now be selling into our home Market the USA because nobody is going to be able to compete with you because those goods that come in from other comp countries and companies they’re un really really in a bad position in so many different ways they’re uninspected they may be very dirty and disgusting and they come in and they pour in and they hurt our American farmers the tariffs will go on Agricultural Product coming into America and our our Farmers starting on April 2nd it may be a little bit of an adjustment period we had that before when I made the deal with China $50 billion of purchases and I said just bear with me and they did they did probably have to bear with me again and this will be even better that was great the problem with it was that Biden didn’t enforce it he didn’t enforce it $50 billion of purchases and we would were doing great but Biden did not enforce it and it hurt our Farmers but our farmers are going to have a field day right now so to our Farmers have a lot of fun I love you too I love you too all going to happen and I have also imposed a 25% tariff on forign aluminum copper Lumber and steel because if we don’t have as an example steel and lots of other things we don’t have a military and frankly won’t have we just won’t have a country very long here today is a proud American Steel worker fantastic person from decada Alabama Jeff dard has been working at the same steel plant for 27 years in a job that has allowed him to serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department raised seven children with his beautiful wife Nicole and over the years provide a loving home for more than 40 foster children so great Jeff thank you thank you Jeff stories like Jeffs remind us that tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs they’re about protecting the soul of our country tariffs are about making America Rich again and making America great again and it’s happening and it will happen rather quickly there’ll be a little disturbance but we’re okay with that it won’t be much no you’re not oh and look and look where Biden took us very low the lowest we’ve ever been Jeff I want to thank you very much and I also want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to Foster Care Community she worked so hard on it a very loving person our magnificent first lady of the United States melania’s work has yielded incredible results helping prepare our nation’s Future Leaders as they enter the workforce our first lady is joined by two impressive young women very impressive Haley Ferguson who benefited from the first ladies fostering the future initiative and is poised to complete her education and become a teacher and Ellison Barry who became a victim of an illicit deep fake image produced by a pier with Ellison’s help the Senate just passed the take it down act and this is so important thank you very much John John th thank you stand up John thank you John thank you all very much thank you and thank you to John Thun and the Senate great job to criminalize the publication of such images online is terrible terrible thing and once it passes the house I look forward to signing that bill into law thank you and I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind cuz nobody gets treated worse than I do on line nobody that’s great thank you very much to the Senate thank you but if we truly care about protecting Americans children no step is more crucial than securing America’s borders over the past four years 21 million people poured into the United States many of them were murderers human traffickers gang members and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world because of Joe Biden’s insane and very dangerous open border policies they are now strongly embedded in our country but we are getting them out and getting them out [Applause] fast and I want to thank Tom homman and Christie I want to thank you and Paul of border patrol I want to thank you what a job they’ve all done everybody border patrol ice law enforcement and general is incredible we have to take care of our law enforcement have to last year a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named leak and Riley the best in her class admired by everybody went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia that morning Laken was viciously attacked assaulted beaten brutalized and horrifically murdered Laken was stolen from us by a Savage illegal alien gang member who was arrested while trespassing across Biden’s open Southern border and then set loose into the United States under the heartless policies of that failed Administration it was indeed a failed Administration he had then been arrested and released in a Democrat run Sanctuary City a disaster before ending the life of this beautiful young angel with us this evening are lakan’s beloved mother Allison and her sister Lauren last year I told laken’s grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would not have died in vain that’s why the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates the Detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten Public Safety it’s very strong powerful act it’s called the lakan Riley act so Allison and Laura America will never ever forget our beautiful leak hope [Applause] [Applause] Riley thank you very much since taking office my Administration has launched the sweeping border and immigration Crackdown in American history and we quickly achieve the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded thank you the media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation we must have legislation to secure the Border but it turned out that all we really needed was a new president thank you Joe Biden didn’t just open our borders he flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools hospitals and communities throughout the country entire towns like Aurora Colorado and Springfield Ohio buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation and corruption like nobody’s ever seen before beautiful towns destroyed now just as I promised in my inaugural address we are achieving the great liberation of America but there still is much work to be done here tonight is a woman I have gotten to know Alexis Nary from Houston wonderful woman last June Alexis’s 12-year-old daughter her precious Joselyn walked to a nearby convenience store she was kidnapped tied up assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered arrested and charge with this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by the last Administration through their ridiculous open border the death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly Alexis I promised that we would always remember your daughter your magnificent daughter and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word to you one thing I have learned about Joselyn is that she loved animals so much she loved nature across Galveston Bay from where Joselyn lived in Houston you will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge a pristine peaceful 34,000 acre Sanctuary for all of God’s creatures on the edge of the Gulf of America Alexis moments ago I formerly renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful daughter Joselyn so Mr Vice President if you would May I have the order [Applause] [Applause] thank you very much all three Savages charged with Joselyn and leak’s murders were members of the Venezuelan prison gang the toughest gang they say in the world known as trendy aragua two weeks ago I officially designated this gang along with MS13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations they are now officially in the same category as Isis and that’s not good for them countless thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by the Biden Administration but now every last one will be rounded up and forcibly removed from our country or if they’re too dangerous put in jails standing trial in this country because we don’t want them to come back ever with us this evening is a warrior on the front lines of that battle border patrol agent Roberto Ortiz great guy in January Roberto and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grand near an area known as cartel Island doesn’t sound too nice to me when heavily armed gunmen started shooting at them Roberto saw that his partner was totally exposed great danger and he leapt into action returning fire and providing crucial seconds for his fellow agent to seek safe safety just and just barely I have some of the prints of that event and it was not good Agent Ortiz We Salute You for Your Great courage and uh be a line of fire that you took and for The Bravery that you showed we honor you and we will always honor you thank you Roberto very much thank you Roberto and I actually got to know him on my many calls to the Border he’s a great great gentleman the territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder rape torture and exercise total control they have total control over a whole nation posing a grave threat to our national security the cartels are Waging War in America and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels which we are here five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our tariff policies being imposed on them think of this handed over to US 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country that has never happened before they want to make us Happ happy first time ever but we need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they’ve done and they have to stop the Fentanyl and drugs pouring into the USA they’re going to stop it I have sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history larger even than current record holder president Dwight D Eisenhower a moderate man but someone who believed very strongly in borders Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can sign it into law so Mr Speaker John Thun both of you I I hope you’re going to be able to do that Mr speaker thank you Mr leader thank you thank you very much and let’s get it to me I’ll sign it so fast you won’t even believe [Applause] it and as we reclaim our sovereignty we must also bring back Law and Order to our cities and towns in recent years our justice system has been turned upside down by radical left lunatics many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me my Administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore Fair equal and partial justice under the Constitutional rule of law starting at the FBI and the doj Pam good luck cash wherever you may be good luck good luck Pam Bond good luck so important going to do a great job cash thank you thank you cas [Applause] they’ve already started very strong they’re going to do a fantastic job you’re going to be very proud of them we’re also once again giving our police officers the support protection and respect they so dearly deserve they have to get it they have such a hard dangerous job but we’re going to make it less dangerous the problem is the bad guys don’t respect the law but they’re starting to respect it and they soon will respect it this also includes our great fire departments throughout the country our firemen and women are unbelievable people and I will never forget them and besides that they voted for me in record numbers so I have no chance one year ago this month 31-year-old New York police officer Jonathan Diller unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island I went to his funeral The Vicious criminal charged with his murder had 21 prior arrests and they were rough arrests too he was a real bad one the thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests and went by the name of killer he was killer he killed other people they say a lot of them I attended officer Diller’s service and when I met his wife and one-year-old son Ryan it was very inspirational actually his Widow’s name is Stephanie and she is here tonight Stephanie thank you very much Stephanie thank you very [Applause] Stephanie we’re going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero New York’s finest and we’re going to get these cold blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets and we’re going to do it fast got to stop it they get out with 28 arrests they push people into subway trains they hit people over the head back of the head with baseball bats we got to get them out of here I’ve already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer and tonight I’m asking Congress to pass that policy into permanent law I’m also asking for a new crime Bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for America’s police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives being totally destroyed they don’t want to be killed we’re not going to let them be killed joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police his name is DJ Daniel he is 15 years old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer but in 2018 DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer the doctors gave him 5 months at most to live that was more than six years ago since that time DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times peace the police love him the police departments love him and tonight DJ we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all I am asking our new secret service director Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service he thank you DJ DJ’s doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger since 1975 rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40% reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to make a America healthy again chaired by our new secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy [Applause] Jr Within the name Kennedy you would have thought everybody over here would have been Che how quickly they forget our goal is to get toxins out of our environment poisons out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong as an example not long ago and you can’t even believe these numbers one in 10,000 children had autism one in 10,000 and now it’s one and 36 there’s something wrong 1 in 36 think of that so we’re going to find out what it is and there’s nobody better than Bobby and all of the people that are working with you you have the best to uh figure out what is going on okay Bobby good luck it’s a very important job thank you good thank you my Administration is also working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our schools a few years ago January Little John and her husband discovered that their daughter’s school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns they them pronoun actually all without telling January who is here tonight and is now a courageous Advocate against this form of child abuse January thank you thank you thank you very much thank you stories like this are why shortly after taking office I signed an executive order Banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our Youth and now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently Banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body this is a big lie and our mage message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you because we’re getting wokeness out of our schools and out of our military and it’s already out and it’s out of our society we don’t want it wokeness is trouble wokeness is bad it’s gone it’s gone and we feel so much better for it don’t we don’t we feel better our service members won’t be activists and ideologues they will be Fighters and warriors they will fight for our country and Pete congratulations Secretary of Defense congratulations and he’s not big into the woke movement I can tell you I know him well I am pleased to report that in January the US Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services what a difference and you know it was just a few months ago where the results were exactly the opposite we couldn’t recruit anywhere we couldn’t recruit now we’re having the best results just about that we’ve ever had what a tremendous turnaround it’s really a beautiful thing to see people love our country again it’s very simple they love our country and they love being in our military again so it’s a great thing and thank you very much great job we’re joined tonight by a young man Jason Hartley who knows the weight of that Call of Duty Jason’s father grandfather and great-grandfather all wore the uniform Jason tragically lost his dad who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy when he was just a boy and now he wants to carry on the family Legacy of service Jason is a senior in high school a six-letter Varsity athlete a really good athlete they say a brilliant student with a 4.46 that’s good GPA and his greatest dream is to attend the US Military Academy at West Point and J Jason that’s a very big deal getting in that’s a hard one to get into but I’m pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted you will soon be joining the core of K [Applause] thank you Jason you’re going to be on the long Gray Line Jason as commanderin-chief my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future as a first step I’m asking Congress to fund a state-of-the-art golden dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland all made in the USA and Ronald Reagan wanted to do it long ago but the technology just wasn’t there not even close but now we have the technology it’s incredible actually and other places have they have it Israel has it other places have it and the United States should have it too right Tim right they should have it too so I want to thank you but it’s a very very important this is a very dangerous world we should have it we want to be protected and we’re going to protect our citizens like never before to boost our defense industrial base we are also going to resurrect the American ship building industry including commercial ship building and military ship building and for that purpose I am announcing tonight that we will create a new office of ship building in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America where it belongs we used to make so many ships we don’t make them anymore very much but we’re going to make them very fast very soon it will have a huge impact to further enhance our national security my Administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal and we’ve already started doing it just today a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals the Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans not for others but others could use it but it was built a tremendous of American blood and treasure 38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal they died of malaria they died of snake bites and mosquito is not a nice place to work they paid them very highly to go there knowing there was a 25% chance that they would die the most expensive project also that was ever built in our country’s history if you bring it up to modern-day costs it was given away by The Carter Administration for $1 but that agreement has been violated very severely we didn’t give it to China we gave it to Panama and we’re taking it back now we have Marco Rubio in charge good luck Marco now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong oh Marco’s been amazing and he’s going to do a great job think of it he got a 100 votes you know he was approved with actually 99 but the 100th was this gentleman and I feel very certain so let’s assume he got a 100 votes and I’m either very very happy about that or I’m very concerned about it but he’s already proven I mean he’s a great gentleman he’s respected by everybody and we appreciate your voting for Marco he’s going to do a fantastic job thank you thank you he’s doing a great job great job and I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland we strongly support your right to determine your own future and if you choose we welcome you into the United States of America we need Greenland for National Security and even International Security and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it but we need it really for international World security and I think we’re going to get it one way or the other we’re going to get it we will keep you safe we will make you rich and together we will take Greenland to Heights like you have never thought possible before it’s a very small population but very very large piece of land and very very important for military security America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism three and a half years ago Isis terrorists killed 13 American Service members and countless others in the abig gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan not that they were withdrawing it was the way they withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity and he is right now on his way here to face the Swift sword of American Justice [Applause] and I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster this was a very momentous day for those 13 families who I actually got to know very well most of them whose children were murdered and the many people that were so badly over 42 people so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan what a horrible day such incompetence we shown that when Putin saw what happened I guess he said wow maybe this is my chance that’s how bad it was should have never happened grossly incompetent people I spoke to many of the parents and loved ones and they’re all in our hearts tonight just spoke to them on the phone we had a big call every one of them called and everybody was on the line and they did nothing but cry with happiness they were very happy as happy as you can be under those circumstances their child brother sister son daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever in the Middle East we’re bringing back back our hostages from Gaza in my first term we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in Generations the Abraham Accords and now we’re going to build build on that Foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region a lot of things are happening in the Middle East people have been talking about that so much lately with everything going on with Ukraine and Russia but a lot of things are happening in the Middle East a rough neighborhood actually I’m also working tirelessly to end the Savage conflict in Ukraine millions of ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight the United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense with no security with no [Applause] anything do you want to keep it going for another 5 years yeah yeah you you would say pocah hun says yes 2,000 people are being killed every single week more than that they’re Russian young people they’re Ukrainian young people they’re not Americans but I wanted to stop meanwhile Europe has has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far think of that they’ve spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending and we’ve spent perhaps $350 billion like taking candy from a baby that’s what happened and they’ve spent a hundred billion dollar what a difference that is and we have an ocean separating us and they don’t but we’re getting along very well with them and lots of good things are happening Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent by billions and billions of dollars it’s hard to believe that they wouldn’t have stopped it and said at some point Come On Let’s equalize you got to be equal to us but that didn’t happen earlier today I received an important letter from president zalinski of Ukraine the reads Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians he said my team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts we do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintained its sovereignty and Independence regarding the agreement on minerals and security Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you I appreciate that he sent this letter just got it a little while ago simultaneously we’ve had serious discussions with Russia and have receive strong signals that they are ready for peace wouldn’t that be beautiful wouldn’t that be beautiful wouldn’t that be beautiful it’s time to stop this madness it’s time to Halt The Killing it’s time to end the senseless War if you want to end Wars you have to talk to both sides nearly four years ago amid Rising tensions a history teacher named Mark Fogle was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony rough stuff the previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him they knew he was innocent but they had no idea where to begin but last summer I promised his 95-year-old mother Maline that we would bring her boy safely back home after 22 days in office I did just that and they are here tonight right to Mark and his great mom we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us as fate would have it Mark Fogle was born in a small rural town in Butler Pennsylvania have you heard of it where his mother has lived for for the past 78 years I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally that was not pleasant and that is where I met his beautiful Mom right before I walked onto that stage and I told her I would not forget what she said about her son and I never did did I never forgot less than 10 minutes later at that same rally gunfire rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight bullets from his snipers perch into a crowd of many thousands of people my life was saved by a fraction of an inch but some were not so lucky Corey comparator was a firefighter a veteran a Christian a husband a devoted father and above all a protector when the sound of gunshots pierced the air was a horrible sound Cory knew instantly what it was and what to do he threw himself on top of his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets with his own body Corey was hit really hard you know the story from there he sacrificed his life to save theirs two others very fine people were also seriously hit but thankfully with the help of two great country doctors we thought they were gone and they were saved so those doctors had great talent were joined by Corey’s wife Helen who was his high school sweetheart and their two beloved daughters Allison and kayy thank you [Applause] to Helen Allison and Kaylee Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now and he is cheering you on he loves you he is cheering you on Corey was taken from us much too soon but his Destiny was to leave us all with a shining example of the selfless devotion of a true American Patriot it was love like cories that built our country and it’s love like cories that is going to make our country more Majestic than ever before I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason I was saved by God to make America great again I believe that thank you very much from the Patriots of Lexington and Concord to the heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy from the Warriors who crossed the Delaware to the Trailblazers who climbed the Rockies and from the Legends who soared at Kittyhawk to the astronauts who touched the moon Americans have always been the people who defied all Arts transcended all dangers made the most extraordinary sacrifices and did whatever it took to defend our children our country and our freedom and as we have seen in this chamber tonight that same strength Faith love and spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts of the American people despite the best efforts of those who would try to censor us silence us break us destroy us Americans are today a proud free Sovereign and independent nation that will always be free and we will fight for it till death we will never let anything happen to our Beloved Country because we are a country of doers dreamers Fighters and survivors our ancestors crossed a vast ocean strowed into the unknown Wilderness and carve their fortunes from The Rock and soil of a perilous and very very dangerous Frontier they chased our destiny across a boundless continent they built the rail roads laid the highways and graced the world with American Marvels like the Empire State Building the mighty Hoover Dam and the Towering Golden Gate Bridge they lit the world with electricity Broke Free of the force of gravity fired up the engines of American industry and vanquished the Communists fascists and marxists all over the world and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron glass and steel we stand on the shoulders of these Pioneers who won and built the Modern Age these workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities these Warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle and gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American Liberty and it is our turn to take America’s Destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country this will be our greatest ERA with God’s help over the next four years we are going to lead this nation even higher and we are going to forge the freest most advanced most dynamic IC and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this Earth we are going to create the highest quality of life build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital communities anywhere in the world we are going to conquer the vast frontiers of Science and we are going to lead Humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond and through it all we are going to ReDiscover the Unstoppable power of the American Spirit and we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream every single day we will stand up and we will fight fight fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve my fellow Americans get ready for an incredible future because the Golden Age of America has only just begun it will be like nothing that has ever been seen before thank you God bless you and God bless America [Applause] thank you very much great job thank you great honor thank you thank you get this place going uhhuh it’s great honor thank

Quiz Answer Key
The Welcome dialog allows you to customize your document before creation, including canvas appearance, keyboard shortcuts, icon appearance, and templates. To ensure it appears, go to Preferences (Edit menu on Windows, Inkscape menu on Mac), search for “welcome,” and check the “Show Welcome dialog” option.
The canvas is the entire drawing area, while the page is a white rectangular area representing the intended output size. Canvas and page colors are for visual preference only and do not affect the final printed or exported drawings; both are treated as transparent.
The stacking order determines which objects appear in front of or behind others. Two methods are using the Raise/Lower buttons in the controls bar when the selector tool is active, or by dragging objects within the Layers and Objects dialog.
The selector tool allows you to select, move, scale, rotate, and skew objects. To scale proportionally, select the object, grab a corner handle, and hold down the Ctrl key while dragging.
Clones are linked copies of an original object; changes to the original (color, size, rotation) are reflected in the clones. Copy/paste and duplicate create independent copies where changes do not affect the original.
The Align and Distribute dialog is used to precisely align and space objects relative to each other. The “anchor” determines the reference point; other objects will align or distribute in relation to it.
The Pen tool creates precise paths with straight lines and B├йzier curves using defined anchor points, the Pencil tool draws freehand paths, and the Calligraphy tool creates brush-like strokes with variable width.
Nodes are points that connect path segments and control their shape. Smooth nodes create flowing curves, corner nodes create sharp angles, symmetric nodes create matching curves on both sides, and auto smooth nodes create automatic smooth curves as the node is moved.
Converting a shape to a path makes the shape’s geometry directly editable. You can change the nodes for the shape and create entirely new shapes from it. However, it removes the shape’s properties (e.g., corner rounding) and the ability to use the shape tools to adjust these properties.
Guidelines are visual guides that allow precise placement of the objects, while grids are a system of horizontal and vertical lines used to create proportional pieces.
Essay Questions
Discuss the importance of layers in Inkscape for organizing complex artwork. Provide examples of how layers can be used to manage objects, apply effects, and control visibility.
Compare and contrast the use of the Shape Builder tool and Boolean path operations (Union, Difference, Intersection, Exclusion) in Inkscape. In what scenarios would one approach be more efficient or appropriate than the other?
Explain the concept of “path effects” in Inkscape, and describe how they can be used to create non-destructive transformations and stylized effects on objects. Provide specific examples of path effects and their applications.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of embedding vs. linking images in Inkscape documents. How does each option impact file size, portability, and workflow?
Explain the different methods for adding text to an object (i.e. put on path and flow into frame) and provide scenarios of when you may use one technique over another.

Inkscape 2024: A Comprehensive Guide
Okay, here’s a briefing document summarizing the main themes and important ideas from the provided Inkscape guide excerpts.
This document summarizes excerpts from a comprehensive guide to Inkscape, a free and open-source vector graphics editor. The guide aims to equip users of all skill levels (graphic designers, illustrators, hobbyists) with the knowledge to create stunning vector graphics. It progresses from basic to intermediate and advanced topics, highlighting Inkscape’s power and efficiency.
I. Getting Started and Interface Basics:
Welcome Dialogue Customization: The guide starts with customizing the Inkscape environment via the welcome dialogue, accessible through Preferences (Edit > Preferences on Windows, Inkscape menu > Settings on Mac). This dialogue allows for adjusting canvas appearance, keyboard shortcuts (with a recommendation to stick with defaults initially), icon appearance, and switching to dark mode. Custom templates can be created and accessed here.
Quote: “The purpose of the welcome dialogue is to allow us to easily customize our document before we create it… like with everything else in the welcome dialogue we can also change the canvas appearance from inside the document itself”
Document Properties: The document properties dialogue (File > Document Properties) allows for changing page format (A4, US Letter, etc.), custom width/height, portrait/landscape orientation, display units (mm, pixels, etc.), and canvas/page background colors. Crucially, the canvas and page backgrounds are transparent when printing or exporting.
Quote: “The default dimensions of the page are the A4 paper size and if we had chosen a different template from the Welcome dialogue the page will have the dimensions specified in that template.”
Interface Elements:
Toolbox: Contains tools for creating and modifying drawings, resizable by dragging.
Commands Bar: Provides quick access to common commands (new document, import, export, undo/redo, copy/paste). Can be positioned at the top of the interface by disabling “wide screen” in the View menu.
Controls Bar: Displays functions related to the currently active tool.
Color Palette: Offers color swatches for easily changing object colors.
Status Bar: Shows information about the current object, layer, zoom level, and canvas rotation.
Layers: Allows organizing of drawings
II. Basic Shapes and Stacking Order:
Shape Tools: Introduces the rectangle, ellipse/arc, and star/polygon tools. Explains how to create these shapes, adjust their dimensions using handles or the controls bar, and modify their properties (corner rounding, arc/chord behavior, number of corners, etc.).
Quote: “In inkscape we have three tools for creating basic shapes we have the rectangle tool the ellipse and Arc tool and the star and polygon tool”
Keyboard Shortcuts: Emphasizes the use of modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) while creating and resizing shapes to constrain proportions, draw from the center, and snap angles. The status bar provides information on available keyboard shortcuts when hovering over handles.
Stacking Order (Z-Order): Explains how to change the order of overlapping objects using the “Raise to Top,” “Raise,” “Lower,” and “Lower to Bottom” buttons in the controls bar when the selector tool is active. Layers offer another way to manage stacking order.
Layers: Provides details on working with layers through the “Layers and Objects” dockable dialogue (Layer > Layers and Objects). Covers adding, deleting, hiding, locking, and reordering layers, as well as grouping objects within layers. Sublayers are introduced.
Grouping: Covers grouping selected object together, entering a group to add more objects, and ungrouping.
III. Selection, Transformation, and Cloning:
Selector Tool: Describes how to select, move, scale, rotate, and skew objects using the selector tool. Modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) are again important for constrained scaling, rotation, and skewing.
Rotation Center: Details moving the rotation center and rotating/skewing around it.
Copying and Cloning: Differentiates between copying/pasting, duplicating, and cloning. Cloning creates linked copies; modifying the original also changes the clones. “Unlinking” a clone creates a standalone object.
Alignment and Distribution: Explains using the “Align and Distribute” dialogue (Object > Align and Distribute) to align and distribute objects relative to a selected anchor (last selected, first selected, biggest/smallest, page). Snapping offers an alternative for direct on-canvas alignment.
Snapping: Details enabling/disabling snapping, using the snap controls, and controlling what to snap to. The user notes alignment lines can become annoying and suggests selectively disabling them.
IV. Paths and Path Manipulation:
Path Creation Tools: Covers the calligraphy, pencil, and pen tools for creating paths. The pen tool is highlighted as the most useful for creating paths. Describes creating straight and curved segments with the pen tool, and using Bezier handles to adjust curvature.
Node Tool: Introduces the node tool for editing paths by manipulating nodes. Explains different node types (corner/cusp, curved/smooth, symmetric, auto-smooth), and how to convert between them using buttons in the controls bar.
Adding/Deleting Nodes: Details adding nodes (by selecting two or more nodes and using the button in the controls bar, or by double clicking the node.) and deleting nodes (by selecting node and pressing the delete key.)
Shape to Path: Describes converting shape objects into paths (Path > Object to Path or button in controls bar) to enable node editing. Losing shape-specific handles (e.g., corner rounding) is noted, but the “Add Corners LP” tool offers a workaround for rounding path corners.
Path Operations (Boolean Operations): Explains the various Boolean operations (Union, Difference, Intersection, Exclusion, Division, Cut Path, Combine, Break Apart, Split Path, Fracture, Flatten) for combining and manipulating paths and shapes.
V. Guidelines, Grids, and Color Management:
Guidelines: Describes creating horizontal, vertical, and diagonal guidelines by dragging from the rulers (View > Show/Hide > Rulers). Details repositioning guidelines, setting their origin point, rotating them, locking them, and removing them.
Grids: Explains adding a page grid (View > Page Grid) and adjusting its settings (spacing, origin, etc.) in the Document Properties dialogue (File > Document Properties > Grids). Covers rectangular and axonometric (isometric) grids.
Color Palette Configuration: Details configuring the color palette (Configure here), adjust color tile size, aspect ratio, border, and number of rows.
VI. Fill and Stroke Dialog and Color Manipulation:
Fill and Stroke Dialog: Covers using the fill and stroke dialog to adjust the fill color, stroke color, and stroke style of selected objects.
Color Modes: Details using hsl, rgb, and cmyk color modes. Covers gradients and patterns.
Stroke Style Tab: Provides details on changing stroke width, dashes, cap, and join.
Eyedropper: Explains the use of the eyedropper tool to select colors from the canvas.
Blend Mode, Blur, and Opacity: covers using blend modes, blur sliders, and opacity sliders.
VII. Gradients and Patterns:
Linear and Radial Gradients: Explains applying and manipulating linear and radial gradients using the Fill and Stroke dialogue or the Gradient Tool. Details rotating gradients.
Patterns: Describes applying and customizing patterns using the Fill and Stroke dialogue. Covers scale, orientation, offset, gap settings and changing pattern colors.
Creating Custom Patterns: Covers creating custom patterns. Discusses the importance of unsetting colors if you want to be able to adjust them.
VIII. Text and Typography:
Text Tool: Details using the text tool to add and edit text. Covers changing fonts, sizes, styles, spacing, alignment, subscript, and superscript.
Text and Font Dialogue: Covers using the text and font dialogue to edit font attributes and settings.
Path > Object to Path and Text to Glyph Explains converting the object to a path and separating the letters.
Text on path: Covers wrapping text around a path, shapes, and how to centre text.
Flow Text Discusses adding text into a box, shape or path
IX. Images, Clipping, and Masking:
Importing Images: Details importing images (File > Import, copy/paste, drag/drop), choosing between embedding and linking, with a recommendation to embed for simplicity.
Tracing Images: Covers manual tracing using the pen tool (Bezier and B-Spline modes).
Clipping and Masking: Explains clipping (Object > Clip > Set) and masking (Object > Mask > Set) to control the visibility of parts of an image or object. Clipping uses a path or shape to define the visible area, while masking uses the grayscale values of the mask object to control transparency. Explains releasing the clip and release mask features.
X. Filters:
Filters Menu: provides an overview of filters, and categories such as Bevels, Blurs, Color, Image Effects, Morphology, Overlays, Shadows and Glows.
XI. Shape Builder Tool:

Inkscape: A Guide to Vector Graphics and Design
Inkscape FAQ
1. What is Inkscape and who is it for?
Inkscape is a powerful, free, and open-source vector graphics editor. It’s for anyone who wants to create vector graphics, including graphic designers, illustrators, and hobbyists. It provides a wide range of tools and features, suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
2. How can I access the Welcome dialog in Inkscape if it doesn’t appear on startup?
On macOS, look for the Inkscape menu at the top left and find the “Preferences” option. On Windows, go to the “Edit” menu and select “Preferences”. In the Preferences dialog, search for “welcome” and check the “Show Welcome dialog” option.
3. What’s the difference between the canvas and the page in Inkscape?
The canvas is the large, usually gray, drawing area where you create your artwork. The page is the white rectangular area within the canvas, representing a specific size (like A4 paper). While you can draw anywhere on the canvas, the page is helpful for constraining designs to particular dimensions, such as for posters or PDF documents. Neither the canvas or page affect the drawings when exporting.
4. How do layers help in organizing artwork in Inkscape?
Layers allow you to organize different elements of your artwork into separate, manageable groups. You can control the stacking order of objects by placing them on different layers, and you can hide, lock, or rearrange entire layers to simplify the editing process. Sublayers allow you to group layers and hide or lock them all by hiding or locking the parent layer.
5. What are the basic shape tools available in Inkscape and how do they work?
Inkscape provides three main basic shape tools: the Rectangle Tool, the Ellipse and Arc Tool, and the Star and Polygon Tool. The Rectangle Tool creates rectangles and squares. The Ellipse and Arc Tool creates ellipses, circles, arcs, and pie slices. The Star and Polygon Tool creates stars and polygons with adjustable corners, rounding, and randomization.
6. How can I manipulate the stacking order (Z-order) of objects in Inkscape?
You can change the stacking order using the “Raise to Top,” “Raise,” “Lower,” and “Lower to Bottom” buttons in the Controls bar when the Selector Tool is active. You can also manage the stacking order within the Layers and Objects dialog by dragging objects up or down in the list.
7. What are paths and how do they differ from shapes in Inkscape?
Paths are the fundamental building blocks of vector graphics in Inkscape. Unlike shapes, which are predefined forms, paths are defined by nodes and segments, offering greater flexibility in creating complex and custom shapes. The Pen Tool, Pencil Tool, and Calligraphy Tool are used to create paths.
8. What are Path Effects and how can they enhance my designs?
Path Effects are special effects that can be applied to paths and shapes in Inkscape. They allow you to modify objects in non-destructive ways and create complex designs more efficiently. Some useful path effects include Corners (for rounding corners), Offset (for creating borders), Power Stroke (for tapered lines), Bend (for bending objects), Pattern Along Path (for repeating shapes along a path), Perspective Envelope, Interpolate Subpaths, Mirror Symmetry, Splice, and Tiling.

Other: Templates for icons and seamless patterns.
Custom: Users can create and save their own custom templates.
Show Welcome Dialog: An option is available to control whether the welcome dialog appears every time Inkscape is opened.
Inkscape: Paths and Node Editing Guide
In Inkscape, paths provide a way to create shapes and designs. Rather than using the basic shape tools, paths provide more precise control over the objects.
Key aspects of path creation:
Tools for Creating Paths:
Calligraphy Tool: This tool allows the user to draw calligraphic or brush-like strokes. You can adjust the width of the stroke and add rounding to the ends. There are also preset options for different brush strokes.
Pencil Tool: This tool is used for drawing freehand paths. A smoothing setting in the controls bar helps to reduce jaggedness in the paths.
Pin Tool: The pin tool is the most versatile for creating paths. You can create connected line segments by clicking several points. Finish the path by clicking on the first point to create a closed path, or right-click/press enter to leave the path open.
Nodes: Paths are made up of segments connected by nodes, which are like joints that connect segments of a path. The node tool (located under the selector tool) is required to see and access the nodes.
Node Types:
Corner/Cusp Nodes: Indicated by diamond-shaped handles.
Curved/Smooth Nodes: Indicated by square-shaped handles. These nodes have B├йzier handles that can be adjusted to change the curvature.
Symmetric nodes: B├йzier handles rotate together and maintain the same distance from the node.
Auto smooth nodes: As the node is moved, the handles adjust automatically to keep the curves smooth.
Node Operations:
Changing Node Types: There are buttons in the control bar to change a smooth node into a custom node and vice versa.
Adding Nodes: Add a node by selecting two or more nodes and clicking the button in the controls bar to add a node at the midpoint between the selected nodes or double-clicking a segment using the node tool.
Deleting Nodes: Select the nodes and press the delete key.
Breaking Apart a Path: Break apart a path at a selected node by clicking the corresponding button.
Joining Nodes: Select two nodes and click the button to join them together at the midpoint, or add a line segment between them if they aren’t connected.
Converting Shapes to Paths: Shape objects can be converted into paths, allowing you to edit their nodes. To do this, click the button in the controls bar for the node tool, or go to the path menu and choose object to path. After converting an object, you can no longer adjust aspects of the shape using its handles.
Rounding Corners: You can round the corners of a path using the add Corners LP button in the controls bar for the node tool.
Boolean operations: Boolean path operations can be performed between selected paths and shapes.
Inkscape Path Effects Guide
Path effects are special effects that can be applied to paths and shapes in Inkscape. Path effects can be accessed through the path effects dialog. To open the dialog, go to the path menu and choose path effects.
Here are some useful path effects:
Corners: This path effect is applied when using the add Corners LP button in the node tool. It allows for adjusting the rounding of corners near each of the object’s nodes. The radius of all the corners can be adjusted at the same time, or only selected nodes. Corners can be filleted, inverted, chamfered, or inverse chamfered.
Offset: This effect creates an outline around one or more objects. It is useful for creating borders around objects. The join type affects the appearance of the corners.
Power Stroke: This is useful for paths that only have a stroke. It makes the ends of the path tapered. Control points can be moved around to adjust the width of the path.
Bend: This effect bends the object. The curvature can be adjusted.
Pattern Along Path: Stretches or repeats a shape or path along another path. To use it, first copy the object to be used as the pattern. Then, select the path to put the pattern on and add pattern along path to it.
Perspective Envelope: This effect changes the perspective of an object or deforms its shape. The nodes at the corners of the object’s bounding box are used to change the object’s perspective.
Interpolate Subpaths: Interpolates between subpaths by creating new paths between them. To use this, an object that consists of multiple subpaths is needed.
Mirror Symmetry: Mirrors the object along a mirror line. The position and angle of the mirror line can be changed using the node tool.
Splice: Slices the object along a slice line. The node tool can be used to reposition and rotate the line.
Tiling: Repeats a path or shape in a ton of different ways. The way that the tiles are mirrored, the number of rows and columns, the gaps between the tiles, the offset of alternating rows or columns, the scale of the tiles and the rotation of the tiles can all be adjusted.
Multiple path effects can be added to a single shape or path. The order of the path effects can be changed, which can change the appearance of the final result. Path effects can be toggled on or off, or removed.
Inkscape: Master the Free Vector Graphics Software in 2024
The Original Text
welcome to the 2024 comprehensive guide to inscape whether you’re a graphic designer illustrator or hobbyist this guide will equip you with the skills you need to create stunning vector graphics using inkscape a powerful and free open-source software the purpose of this guide is to give you an overview of all of the most useful tools and features of inkscape starting from the most basic topics and moving on to more intermediate and advanced topics this will give you an idea just how powerful inkscape is and how you can use it to make amazing artwork quickly and efficiently so if you’re ready let’s fire up inkscape and get started when we first open inkscape we’re normally greeted with the welcome dialogue if however yours immediately opens up a new document and you would like to display the welcome dialogue first this is pretty easy to fix to do so we need to open the preferences Dialogue on a Mac there should be an inkscape menu here here at the top left with a settings option inside the menu for those of us using Windows we can go to the edit menu and choose preferences we should now see the preferences dialogue at the top left we have a search box and if we search for welcome we’ll see an option down here that says show Welcome dialogue if we check this we can then close the preferences dialogue and the inkscape document and the next time we open inkscape it should bring up the welcome dialogue okay so the purpose Pur of the welcome dialogue is to allow us to easily customize our document before we create it for example in the quick setup tab we can change the appearance of the canvas which is the drawing area changing this won’t affect the actual drawings themselves it’s just a personal preference and like with everything else in the welcome dialogue we can also change the canvas appearance from inside the document itself as we’ll see in a bit next under keyboard we have some options for setting the keyboard shortcuts that inkscape uses for example if you’re already familiar with the keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Illustrator or Corell draw you can make it so inkscape uses the same shortcuts for following along with this course however I recommend sticking with the inkscape defaults for now below keyboard we have appearance the options in here will change the appearance of the icons the inkscape uses we can see a preview of the icons here I’ll stick with colorful finally we have the option to switch to dark mode and as I mentioned earlier we can actually do all of this from the document itself so I’ll just stick with the defaults for now and this supported by utab we can learn how to contribute our time and money towards inkscape’s development next in time to draw we have quite a few different templates to choose from this is useful if we need our drawings to have particular dimensions for example in print we can choose from various paper size formats like A4 us letter and business card under video we have different video sizes to choose from in case we wanted to create something like a slideshow for a video under social we have options for creating graphics for various social media platforms under screen we have options for different screen sizes shape Builder here has some templates that we can use for creating graphics with a shape Builder tool which we’ll learn about later in the course other has some templates for icons and for creating seamless patterns finally we can create our own custom templates which will be listed in the custom category and with that we can choose whether or not to show the welcome dialogue every time we open escape and once we’re ready to begin we can click new document when we start up a new inkscape document we get this big empty gray area in the center this is called the canvas and we can draw anywhere inside it we also have this white rectangular area in the center of the canvas this is called the page the default dimensions of the page are the A4 paper size and if we had chosen a different template from the Welcome dialogue the page will have the dimensions specified in that template as I mentioned previously the page is useful if we need to constrain our drawings to particular Dimensions like if we’re creating something like a poster or a PDF document we can also change the dimensions of the page and its appearance from directly inside the document itself to do so we use the document properties dialogue by going to the file menu and choosing document properties and here we can change the format of the page which basically contains the same template options we saw in the welcome dialogue we can also give the page a custom width and height and switch between portra and Landscape orientation under display we can set the display units for the document this is what the document uses to display things like the sizes and positions of objects in our drawings the default is millimeters but we can change it to something else like pixels for example next we have some color swatches with the page option we can change the background color of the page with the Border option we could change the color of the border and Shadow around the page and with the desk option we can change the background color of the canvas we can also give the entire canvas a checkerboard background and we can hide the page border or we can just hide the Shadow and by the way the colors of the canvas and Page have no effect on the actual drawings whenever we go to print or export our drawings as far as inkscape is concerned the canvas and Page are completely transparent so they won’t show up in the result this is all mainly for personal preference okay back in the interface to the left of the canvas we have the tool box this contains all of the tools we need to create and modify our drawings and we’ll be talking about them quite a bit throughout the course we can resize the toolbx by hovering over the right edge of it until our cursor changes to a double-sided Arrow then clicking and dragging to the right of the canvas is the commands bar this gives us quick access to Common commands like starting new documents importing and exporting do and redo and copy and paste we also have some more options which we can see if we click the arrow icon down here we can also put the commands bar at the top of the interface to do this we go to the view menu and uncheck wide screen this gives us a bit of extra space for the canvas next above the canvas we have the controls bar the controls bar contains functions related to the currently active tool in the tool boox we’ll learn about many of these functions as we discuss the individual tools below the canvas we have the color palette this provides us with some options for easily changing the colors of objects in our drawings finally we have the status bar this gives us some information about things like the colors of the object we’re currently working with as well as about the layer that we’re currently working inside layers allow us to organize our drawings and we’ll learn all about them pretty soon on the right side of the status bar we have options for zooming in and out on the canvas and for rotating the canvas we can also zoom in and out by holding down the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel up and down and if we go to the view menu we have some Zoom options in here as well finally to move around inside the canvas we can press down the mouse well and move the mouse in inkscape we have three tools for creating basic shapes we have the rectangle tool the ellipse and Arc tool and the star and polygon tool first up with the rectangle tool we can of course create rectangles and after we create one with the rectangle tool still active we get these little handles that at the corners of the rectangle we can use these square ones to change the size we can also change the size more precisely by coming up here to the controls bar and entering values for both the width and the height at the top right corner of the rectangle we have a couple circular handles with these we can round the corners to remove the rounding we can come up here and click this make Corner sharp [Music] button if we start creating a new rectangle and we hold down the control key it will constrain the width to height ratio we can use this to create perfect squares similarly resizing it while holding control will also constrain the ratio and if we hold down shift as we create one it will start creating from the center we can also easily change the color of a shape by selecting it and clicking a color swatch inside the color palette the next shape tool is the ellipse and Arc tool this tool by default let us create ellipses and like with rectangles we get some Square handles for adjusting the width and height now the ellipse of course doesn’t have corners so the circular handles work a bit bit differently than they do for rectangles if we drag one around the outside of the ellipse we can create a pacman or a slice of pie and if we drag inside the ellipse we can create arcs now if we look up here to the right of the controls bar we have these four buttons for changing the shape including slice Arc and cord with arcs and chords we can’t tell the difference between them unless the shape has a stroke around it to put a stroke around a selected shape we can come down to the color palette hold shift and click a color a stroke is basically an outline around the outside of the shape to change the width of the stroke we can come down here to the status bar where it shows the fill color the stroke color and the stroke width if we right click the stroke width it will bring up some options for changing it okay so with chords the stroke also goes along the flat portion of the shape with arcs on the other hand the stroke doesn’t appear at the flat portion we can see this even better if we turn off the main color of the object which is called its fill color by coming back down here and clicking the big red X all right now I’m going to set the fill color again and I’m going to turn off the stroke color by holding down shift this time before clicking the Red X finally back up here we have this button for making the ellipse whole again and like with rectangles we can hold control to constrain the width to high ratio which will let us create perfect circles and we can hold shift to draw from the center now let’s check out the star and polygon tool by default this tool creates five cornered stars to change the number of Corners we just come up here and adjust the corners setting with stars we get these two Diamond handles with the inner handle we can adjust the base radius this will also skew the star unless we hold down the control key with the outer handle we can adjust the tip radius as well as rotate the star holding down control will stop it from rotating the spoke ratio setting up here is for adjusting the base to tip radius ratio we can also around the corners using the rounded setting or we can just come over to one of the handles and drag it while holding shift and finally we can randomize the Angles and Corners either with this setting or by dragging a handle while holding down the ALT key now you’re probably thinking this is a lot of keyboard shortcuts to memorize but fortunately all we have to do is hover over over a handle and look down at the status bar and it would tell us what the handle does as well as what keys we can press to perform particular functions all right and to easily get back to the default five cornered star you can click this reset button up here now if we come back over to the left of the controls bar and click the polygon button it will change the shape to a five cornered polygon like with stars we can adjust the number of corners and we can round and randomize the corners finally if we start creating a new star or polygon we can hold down control to snap the angle of rotation to 15┬░ increments whenever we have overlapping objects there will likely be times when we want to change the order in which they appear on the canvas this is called the stacking or Z order for example I might want to put this rectangle on top of the ellipse or send the triangle here all the way to the bottom to do this if we have the selector tool here active in the controls bar we have these four buttons raise to top raise lower and lower to bottom if I grab the rectangle I can bring it to the top by clicking the raise to top button if I grab the ellipse I can make it so it’s just above the triangle by clicking the raise button and if I click it again it will also be on top of the rectangle I can move it back down a step using the lower button finally if I grab the rectangle here at the top I can send it to the bottom of the stack using the lower to bottom button another way to manage the stacking order of objects is through the use of layers by default we start out with a single layer which as we can see in the status bar is called layer one all the objects we have so far are all inside layer one if we come up here to the layer menu we have a lot of options for working with layers however the easiest way to work with layers is by using the layers and objects dialogue which we can open by clicking layers and objects here this opens up what’s called a docko dialogue here on the right we can change the width of a doo dialogue by clicking and dragging it from the left side and we can see other available dockable dialogues by clicking the arrow button here we’ll cover some more of these dialogues throughout the course in the layers and objects dialogue we can see layer one in the list here and if we expand it we can see all the objects inside the layer and we can actually change the stacking order of the objects from here either by selecting one and clicking one of these Arrow buttons or by simply dragging them to different positions in the list another thing we can do is hide objects and lock objects if we lock an object we won’t be able to select it or move it around we can hide and lock entire layers as well now to add a new layer we click this button with the plus sign this brings up a little add layer dialogue where we can give the layer a name and we can choose whether to put it above below or as a sub layer of the current layer if we go with above and click add we can see the new layer above layer one in the list and now it’s the active layer so if we create a new object it will be added to the new layer and because the new layer is above layer one its objects will always stay above layer one’s objects if you want to put them below layer one all we have to do is grab Layer Two in the list and drag it below layer one now if we drag the layer inside layer one and release it becomes a sub layer of layer one this basically means that hiding or locking layer one will hide or lock both layers another thing we can do is drag objects into different layers and if we want to remove an entire layer including all of this objects we can choose it in the list and click the trash button now sometimes we might want to keep certain objects together that are inside the same layer for this we use grouping to group objects we select them then right click and choose group we can also group from the object menu and with the group button in the commands bar the grouped objects are now treated as a single object as we can see by the single bounding box around them also in the layers and objects dialogue the objects have been combined into a single item in the list labeled with a G for group we can expand the group to show the objects which allows us to select the individual objects again if you want to add more objects to the group we first need to right click it and choose enter a group now any objects we create will be placed inside the group to get back out of the group we can either select an object that’s outside of the group or we can use the selector tool to double click the canvas and an easier way to enter inside a group is to double click the group itself finally if we want to ungroup all the objects we can get back outside of the group then right click it and choose ungroup the selector tool as we’ve already seen allows us to select objects and move them around we can also select multiple objects by dragging a selection box all the way around them then we can move the objects together and if we click an empty area in the canvas it will deselect the objects another way to select multiple objects is to select the first one then hold down shift and select the others and if you want to easily select all objects we can use the shortcut control a something else we can do with the selector tool is scale selected objects by dragging around these scale handles at the sides and Corners if we hold down control as we do this it will maintain the width to height ratio and if we hold down shift it will scale in the opposite direction as well we can also rotate and skew selected objects to do this we click the selection which changes the handle types now the corner handles let us rotate it holding down alt snaps the angle to 15┬░ increments and holding shift rotates around the opposite corner the side handles let us skew the selection and again holding alt snaps the angle and shift SKS from the opposite side now when we rotate or skew an object it does so around this little Crosshair which is called the rotation Center and is by default located at the center of the object however we can move the rotation Center somewhere else then rotate or skew around that point to put the rotation Center back at the center of the selection we can hold down shift and click the rotation Center and if we click the selection again it will switch us back to the scale handles we also have some buttons up here in the controls bar for transforming objects we can rotate at 90┬░ counterclockwise rotate it 90┬░ clockwise flip it horizontally and flip it vertically let’s say we want to make copies of an object one way to do so is with copy and paste for this we can rightclick the object and choose copy then rightclick somewhere else and choose paste another way is by duplicating to duplicate we right click the object and choose duplicate which creates a new copy directly on top of the original object with both of these options the copies are not connected to the original object in any way this means changing the appearance of a copy won’t affect the original object or vice versa but sometimes we might want to make it so that changing the original will also change the copies for this we use clones we can again do this from the rightclick menu by choosing clone now changing things like the color size and rotation of the original will also change the Clone and if we want to unink a clone from the original We select the Clone then go up to the edit menu then down to clone and choose unle clone this is now a standalone object so changing the original won’t affect it in order to make our design layout look nice we might want to align and arrange the objects in certain ways to do this we use the Align and distribute dialogue which we can open by going to the object menu and choosing a line and distribute in this dialogue we have quite a few options for aligning objects but before we do this we need to select some objects and we need to define the anchor by using this relative two box basically the anchor will stay in place and the other objects will move relative to it among the possible anchors to choose from we have the last or first selected object the biggest or smallest selected object and the page for example with last selected as the anchor if I first select these two smaller circles then select the biggest one the biggest one will be the anchor so now if I click for example the aligned left edges button the big circle stays in place and the smaller circles move so that their left Edge is align with the big circle’s left Edge similarly I can Center the smaller circles vertically in the big circle and horizontally if I choose page as the anchor I can align the circles to the page in various ways for the most part I like to keep the anchor on last selected we can also use the Align and distribute dialogue to distribute the amount of spacing between selected objects for example we can put equal horizontal spacing between them as well as equal vertical spacing now if we would rather be able to align objects directly on the canvas we can do so with snapping to enable snapping we can come up here to the top right of the canvas and toggle on this button now as we move objects around we get all of these lines that let us align things like the sides and centers of objects and we can also snap together particular points of objects like their corners or the quadrant points of ellipses if we come back up to the snap controls button and click the arrow next to it we get this popover that lets us enable or disable Bounty box snapping node snapping which includes the corner points of stars and the quadrant points of ellipses and we have an alignment option alignment is what brings up the red lines that let us align and distribute the objects on canvas I find this gets pretty annoying after a while so I like to keep mine turned off and if we click on advanced mode here we get full control control over the types of snapping we want to use for example we might want to snap together the rotation centers of objects we can also see in this list that we can snap to the borders of the page and finally if we click reset to simple snapping mode it brings us back to the simple popover the shape tools are great for quickly creating basic shapes but as our designs become more complex we need more control over the shapes that we use this is where paths come in and like with the shapes we have three main tools for creating paths the pin tool the pencil tool and the calligraphy tool first with the calligraphy tool we can easily draw calligraphic or brush Strokes in the controls bar we can change the width of the stroke with the cap setting we can add some rounding to the ends of the stroke we also have a lot of presets here that we can choose from which use different settings and give us different types of brush Strokes above the calligraphy tool we have the pencil tool with the pencil tool we can draw freehand pads and if we want we can turn off the fill color and give it a stroke by default the pets we draw with the pencil tool are pretty Jagged but we can fix that by coming up here to the controls bar and increasing the smoothing setting now the pths will be much smoother okay now let’s check out the pin tool which is the most useful tool for creating paths with the pin tool if we click some points we can create connected line segments and to finish creating the path we can either click the first Point again to create a closed path or if you want to leave the path open we can either right click or press Center we can see that this is an open path because the stroke doesn’t connect the two end points we can also give the path The Fill color now if we want to close the path all we have to do is Click one end point then click the other one if we start creating another path we can click and drag to create a curve segment we now get these two circular handles at the cursor which are called bezier handles and which let us adjust the curvature of the segment when we release the mouse it locks in the curvature at that segment then we can create more curved segments or we can go back to creating straight line segments while creating a curve segment if we hold down the control key it will snap the rotation angle of the handles to 15┬░ increments and if we hold down shift while creating a curve it gives us control over the positioning of the handle that’s under the cursor this lets us create sharp corners one thing that distinguishes paths from shape objects in inkscape is that all of the segments of a path are connected by little points called nodes to see and access the nodes we have to use the node tool located here under the selector tool with the node tool active we can now see a selected paths nodes which are indicated by these square or diamond shaped handles we can select the node and move it around if we hold down the control key it will constrain the node’s movement to either the horizontal axis or the vertical axis we can also select multiple nodes either by dragging a selection box over them or by holding shift and clicking them the diamond shaped handles denote corner or cusp nodes and the square shaped handles denote curved or smooth nodes if we select the smooth node we can see it’s beer handles and we can use the handles to adjust the curvature there will likely also be times when we want to change a smooth node into a custom node or vice versa for this we have these four buttons up here with the first one if we have a smoo node selected we can turn it into a custom node we can now adjust each BDA handle individually a lot us to create sharp Corners with a custom node selected we can click the next button up here to turn it into a smooth node this forces the handles to rotate together keeping the segments curved the next two buttons are for creating symmetric nodes and auto smooth nodes these two types of nodes are basically just glorified smooth nodes with symmetric nodes not only do the beia handles rotate together but they also maintain the same distance from the node this is useful when we want to curve two segments of a path by the exact same amount and finally with an auto smooth node as we move the node around the handles will adjust automatically in order to keep the curves very smooth we can also add nodes to a path or delete nodes from a path one way to add a node is to First select two or more nodes then click this button in the controls bar which adds a node right at the midpoint between the selected nodes an easier way to add nodes however is to Simply double click a segment using the node tool and to delete selected nodes we can just press the delete key we can break apart a path at a selected node by clicking this button the path is now an open path and if we select two nodes we can click this button to join them together at the midpoint or if the nodes aren’t connected we can click this button to add a line segment between them and we can click this one to delete the segment as I mentioned earlier in the lesson paths are made up of nodes but shape objects are not for example if we create a rectangle and grab the node tool we still just get the re rectangle scale handles and its Corner rounding handles however we can change a shape object into a path to do this we can either click this button in the controls bar for the no tool or we can go to the path menu and choose object to path we now get a custom node at each of the rectangle’s four corners and we can now treat the rectangle like any other path so we can move the nodes around we can change the node types and we can add extra nodes one thing to keep in mind when changing shape objects into paths is that we lose the handles for adjusting certain aspects of the shape for example we no longer have the corner rounding handles fortunately however we can still easily round the corners of a path to do so in the controls bar for the no tool we have this add Corners LP button if we click it we now have these circular handles near each node and we can click and drag them to round the corner at that node we can also select multiple nodes and round them at the same time this function actually add a path effect to the path path effects are very powerful and we’ll learn much more about them later in the course including other things we can do with this particular path effect but for now when we’re finished using a path effect it’s usually a good idea to lock in the path effect adjustments by turning the object back into a normal path we do this the same way that we turn shape objects into paths by going to path object to path the rounding handles are now gone and we get access to all of the paths nodes in the path menu here we have a bunch of operations that we can perform between selected paths and shapes for example if we have two or more paths or shapes selected and we perform the union operation it turns them all into a single path if any of the original objects were overlapping their nodes get combined together next if we have two overlapping objects we can use the difference operation to cut the top one out of the bottom one it also completely removes the top shape with the next operation intersection we can get just the overlapping parts of the selected objects the next operation exclusion is kind of like the opposite of intersection as it’ll remove only the overlapping parts of the objects next up is division division is similar to difference and that it will cut the top object out of the bottom one however it also leaves the overlapping Parts as separate paths the next operation cut path does almost the same thing as division except it only cuts the bottom object stroke into pieces completely removing its fill color we now have two open paths here next is the combine operation like with Union we can use combine to turn multiple objects into a single object however unlike Union even if the objects are overlapping they will become subpaths we can see that they’re subpaths because they have separate strokes and we can use the node tool to move them apart after combined we have break apart break apart is basically the opposite of combin as it will separate the subpaths that are inside an object for example if we take some shapes and combine them together into a single object and later decide we want to separate them again we can use break apart one Nuance with break apart though is that if we have a path with enclosed empty areas like this and we do break apart on it it will fill in the empty areas and we now have multiple paths one big filled in path and a separate path for each of the enclosed areas that were filled in the next operation split path is also for separating sub paths however if the sub paths are overlapping split path has no effect another difference between split path and break apart is that if we do split path on an object with enclosed empty areas it won’t fill in those areas next up we have fracture if we use fracture on some overlapping objects it uses the overlapping parts to cut the objects into fragments the final Boolean path operation we have is flatten if we perform flatten on some overlapping objects it removes all of the overlapped parts this is similar to the difference operation except it can be used on more than two objects at a time and it doesn’t delete the top objects often in our designs we need everything to have a certain layout and proportions especially if we’re working on something like a poster or an ebook this is where guidelines and grids come in first to create guidelines we need the rulers at the top and left of the canvas to be visible if you don’t see yours you can go up to the view menu then down to show hide and check rulers and now to create horizontal guidelines we can drag down from the top ruler to create vertical guidelines we can drag from the ruler on the left and to create diagonal guidelines we can drag from one of the corners being careful not to click directly on any of these buttons now if we turn on snapping and take a look at the advanced mode we by default
have a guidelines option turned on this means that as we create and move around objects we can snap them to various points along the guidelines if we hover the mouse over a guideline the cursor will turn into a hand icon and if we click and hold on the guideline we can reposition it this also repositions the guideline’s origin point which is indicated by this little circle this is one of the points on a guideline that we’re able to snap [Music] to it’s also the point around which we can rotate a guideline to rotate a guideline we hold down the shift key as we hover over it which turns the cursor into rotation arrows and if we click and drag now we can rotate it if you want to move the guideline’s origin Point without moving the entire guideline we can hold down control before clicking and dragging now we can rotate around the new point if we double click on a guideline it brings up the guideline dialogue and here we can give the guideline a label we can change his color we can set the origin point and and the angle and we can lock the guideline if we now click the okay button it applies the new settings we can see the guideline is labeled near its origin point and the origin point is now an X instead of a circle this means the guideline is locked and we can no longer move it around if you want to lock all the guidelines we can come up to the edit menu and check lock all guides if we uncheck the option it will unlock all the guides we can also toggle guideline locking on and off by using this lock icon here between the rulers to remove a guideline we can either drag it back to a ruler or while hovering over it we can press the delete key and to remove all guidelines at once we can go to edit delete all gu sides next to add a grid to our document we can go up to the view menu and check page grid this creates a default one pixel by one pixel rectangular grid across the entire canvas and like with guidelines with snapping turned on we can by default snap to grids if you want to change the settings of the grid we have to to use the document properties dialogue which we can open by going to file document properties and here we choose the grids Tab and now we can do things like create a new rectangular or aetric grid and we can adjust the settings of the current grid if we disable the grid it no longer has any effect in our document as we can’t see it and we also can’t snap to it but if we enable it and turn off its visibility we can’t see it but we can still snap to it at the moment we’re only able to snap to visible grid lines the grid actually consists of both major grid lines and minor grid lines and when we’re zoomed out like this we can only see the major grid lines which are by default located at every five grid units if we toggle off this option here we can also snap to the invisible minor grid lines to actually see the minor grid lines we have to zoom in quite a bit the minor grid lines are more transparent than the major ones over here we can adjust the spacing between the grid lines we can also change the origin of the grid with a default of 0 0 the grid is flush with the top and left sides of the page we can also align it to particular points on the page using these buttons now let’s come up here and check out the axonometric grid option if we click the new button right now it will actually create the Grid on top of the existing grid we now have a tap here for each of the two grids in our document this can get pretty confusing so let’s remove the first grid by selecting its tap here and clicking the remove button at the bottom now we just have an aetric grid with an aetric grid we can create isometric designs and for the settings we can set the origin we can change the spacing and we can adjust the angle on both the xaxis and the z-axis finally if you want to hide all the grids in our current document we can go back to the view menu and uncheck page grid so far in the course we have been using the color palette to change the colors of objects and if we use the arrows here on the right we actually have quite a few colors to choose from we can also use this hamburger icon to choose from lots of different palettes we can configure the color palette as well by clicking configure here with this we can change the size of the color tiles we can change their aspect ratio we can stretch them so that they fill up the entire bar we can change the width of the border between them and we can change the number of rows of tiles in the pallet we also have this enlarged pin colors option which is on by default pin colors appear all the way at the left of the palette and by default we have the remove color button and we have black 50% gray and white if you want to add a different color to the pin colors we just have to rightclick the Swatch and choose pin color and now it has moved over to the pin colors to remove a pin color we right click it and choose unpin color okay so we can obviously do quite a lot with colors just by using the color palette but if we want much more control over colors we need to use the Fillin stroke dialogue to open the fill and stroke dialogue we go to object fill and stroke and here we have a fill tab a stroke paint Tab and a stroke style tab with the fill tab you can adjust the fill color of selected objects by default we’re using the hsl color mode with this mode we can adjust the Hue which is basically another word for the actual color we can adjust the saturation which is the purity of the color the lightness which is how dark or bright the color is and we’re can adjust the alpha which is another word for opacity we also have the option of using a color wheel to adjust the color the bar along the circle is for changing the CU and the small circle inside the triangle is for changing both the saturation and the lightness some other color mode options we have are RGB which stands for red green and blue and cmk which stands for cyan magenta yellow and black and is useful for printing the default fi color type is flat color which means a single fi color across the entire object we can also turn off the fill cutter by clicking the X here and we can apply gradients and patterns to the fill which we’ll take a look at in upcoming lessons the stroke paint tab is basically the same as the fill tab except we can use it to adjust the stroke color with the stroke style tab we can adjust other features of the stroke for example we can change the stroke width with the dashes we can apply various Dash or dot patterns to the stroke we can adjust the offset of the pattern using this box and we can even apply apply our own custom pattern each pair of numbers we put in here is the length of a dash followed by the length of a gap and the pattern then repeats itself along the stroke with markers we can apply different icons like arrows along the nodes of an object stroke we can even adjust things like the size of a marker its orientation and is offset on the stroke and if we click this edit on canvas button we get handles on the canvas for adjusting the markers properties under markers we have join which lets us change the appearance at the corners of an object stroke we can see this better if we turn off the markers and the dashes the default is miter join which givs the stroke sharp Corners we can also choose bevel join and round join with cap we can change the appearance at the end points of the stroke the default is butt cap which squares off the stroke at the node we can round off the stroke using round cap and square cap is like butt cap but it extends a bit beyond the node finally we can change the order in which the fill the stroke and the markers are drawn by default The Fill is drawn first then the stroke on top of it then finally the markers we can change the order using the other buttons but I almost always keep mind on the default as changing it can lead to some unexpected results if we go back to either the field tab or the stroke paint tab we have this eyedropper button here at the very bottom with this we can change an object’s color to any color we choose from the canvas the ey dropper button actually temporarily switches us to The Dropper tool here in the toolbox if we hold down shift and choose a color it will set the selected object stroke color to the new color we can also click and drag over some colors to choose an average of all the colors holding shift as we do this will do the same for the stroke finally at the the bottom of the fill and stroke dialogue we have blend mode a blur slider and an opacity slider blend mode affects how the colors of selected objects blend with any colors underneath it for example we can darken the underlying colors or we can lighten them with the blur slider we can blur the object this by default blurs the object in all directions by the same amount however if we now go to the Noe tool we can see these two circular handles at the top and right side of the object with these we can adjust the horizontal and vertical blurring separately and finally with the opacity slider we can change the object’s opacity unlike with using an alpha slide which only affects the opacity of either the fill or the stroke the opacity slider affects the entire object as we saw in the previous lesson in both the fill Tab and the stroke paint tab of the fill and stroke dialogue we have a number of buttons for changing an object’s fill or stroke type with flat color being the default two other options we have are linear gradient and Radial gradient let’s start with linear gradient if we have an object selected and we click the linear gradient button inside the FI tab the object gets a gradient going from fully opaque on the left side to fully transparent on the right side back over here we now see a gradient line and on the line we have two sliders which are called stops and which represent the colors of the gradient the one on the left is the opaque stop and the one on the right is the transparent stop we can click and drag the stops to move them around and it would change the appearance of the gradient on the object we can also switch between the stops using the list here and we can change the color at the chosen stop and if we want we can bring up the opacity of the transparent stop if we hover over the gradient line the cursor turns into a plus sign and if we double click we can add a new stop we can move it around and we can change the color to remove a stop we can select it and press delete we can also reverse the direction of the gradient by clicking this button here and using the repeat option we can change how the gradient gets repeated along the object however we can’t see the difference between these unless we make it so the gradient line doesn’t cover the entire object and to do so we use the gradient tool here in the toolbox with the gradient tool active we now see the GR line and the stops on the object itself and we can do the same things we can do in the fill and stroke dialogue like move the stops around and change their colors however using the gradient tool we can also now rotate the gradient line and we can make it so the line is completely inside the object and with this we can now see how changing the repeat option will affect the appearance of the gradient we actually also have both the repeat option and the reverse option in the controls bar for the gradient tool now let’s learn about radial gradients to apply a radial gradient to a selected object we can either click the radial gradient button in the Fillin stroke dialogue or with the gradient tool active we can come up here next to New and choose the create radial gradient option then double click the object radial gradients by default start at the center of the object and have both a horizontal gradient line and a vertical one and the lines are kind of like mirrored versions of each other this means they always have the same number of stops and if we change the color of a stop on one line the color of the corresponding stop on the other line will change as well this also goes for moving the mid stops around if we click and drag one of the ending stops we can adjust the length of the line and we can rotate the entire gradient if you want to adjust the length of both lines together we can hold down control and shift using the center stop we can move around the gradient as a whole we can also change the color at the stop another thing we can do is if we hold down shift before clicking and dragging the center stop we can change What’s called the focus of the gradient the focus is now indicated by this x here if you want to put the focus back at the center we just have to drag it to the center stop into snaps into place all right and as I mentioned before we can also apply gradients to an object stroke we can do this either by using the buttons in the stroke paint tab of the fill and stroke dialogue or again we can come up to the controls bar and next to New we have a stroke gradient option and we can choose either radial gradient or linear gradient then double click the object the object now has another gradient line which we can use to edit the stroke gradient next to the gradient options in the fill and stroke dialogue we have a pattern button if we click the one in the fill tab it will apply a pattern to a selected object’s fill to change the pattern we can use this drop- down here to choose a particular category of patterns or we can just choose all patterns to view them all and now we can pick from all of the available patterns below the list of patterns we have a lot of settings for changing the appearance of the current pattern for example we can change the scale with orientation we can change the angle of the pattern we can also use the slider here to change it by 15┬░ increments the offset setting lets us change the positioning of the pattern on the object and with The Gap settings we can add gaps between the repetitions of the pattern for most of the patterns we can also change the color by clicking the color swatch here and adjusting the sliders finally if we click the edit on canvas button here we get some new handles inside the object which we can use to adjust the pattern with the top left hand we can change the offset with the bottom right one we can change the scale holding down control will change the scale proportionately on both axes and with the circular handle at the top right we can rotate the pattern holding down control will snap the angle to 15┬░ increments we can also actually see what objects were used to create a particular pattern to do this we give an object whichever pattern we want to check out then we go to object pattern pattern to objects this turns the selected object into the pattern objects and it might move it to a weird location for some reason we can now see that this simple path was used to create the pattern also although the path appears to be black if we take a look in the fill and stroke dialogue it says paint is undefined and this question mark button is turned on this button unsets an object’s color we can also see here in the status bar that the path’s fill color is unset this is important to know because if we want to create our own patterns and be able to change the patterns color later through the fill and stroke dialogue we’ll need to First unset the colors of any objects that we use to create the pattern let’s go ahead and see how we can do so first we can create one or more objects that we’ll use for the pattern if if we want the pattern to always be a particular color or colors we can apply some colors to the objects however if we would like to be able to change the color of the pattern later we’ll need to select the objects and click the question mark button here in the filling stroke dialogue and we can also lower the opacity if we want this will still work just fine now to turn the selected objects into a pattern we go back to object pattern but this time we choose objects to pattern this turns the objects into into a pattern then it creates a rectangle and applies the pattern to it as we can now see in the fill and stroke dialogue we should now be able to edit the pattern settings but if it doesn’t work we can first apply a random pattern to the object then choose our custom pattern again from up here and now the settings should work and because we unset the colors of the pattern objects we can change the color here we can also create a new object and if we click the pattern fill button it should automatically apply our new pattern to it using Strokes isn’t always ideal when creating Vector designs particularly when working with Boolean path operations for example I have a circle with a stroke here and let’s say I want to use this rectangle to cut out just the part of the circle stroke that is overlapping if I select them both and go to path difference it doesn’t give me the result I’m looking for this is because a stroke is basically just a style for an object and not part of the actual object but path operations work on the objects themselves and if I go to the node tool I can modify the nodes of the underlying shape but I can’t change anything about the stroke if I wanted to modify the stroke I would first need to turn it into a path to do this I can either click this button in the controls bar for the no tool or I can go to path stroke to path we can now see in the status bar that the object has just a fill and no stroke and I have access to all of the nodes surrounding what used to be the stroke I can also now cut things out of it one more thing to note is that if we do stroke to path on an object that has both a fill and a stroke it gives us a group of two paths if we ungroup it we have a path consisting of just the fill and a path for what used to be the stroke if we want to add some text to our design we use the text tool here in the toolbox to create text all we have to do is click in the canvas and start typing to change the font we can come up here to the controls bar and choose from all the font families installed on our computer or if we already know which font family we want we can just start typing it here and it should pop up we can also change the font style as well as the size we can actually also change the font attributes of just certain parts of the text by selecting them first and this whole piece of text is actually an object so if we go to the selector tool we can resize it using the scale handle however if we want to stop the text from getting distorted we have to hold down the control key we can also rotate it and skew it and of course we can change the fill color of the text and we can even add a stroke to it if we go back to the text tool we can still edit the text like normal back up in the controls bar we can adjust the spacing between the Bas lines of the text with this drop down you can change the text alignment if we select one or more characters we can use this button to make them superscript or this one to make them subscript if we click the spacing button here it brings up some different options for changing the spacing of the text and these actually work differently depending on whether or not we have any text selected for example with the first box we can either adjust the spacing between only the selected characters or with nothing selected we can adjust the spacing between all the characters using this box we can adjust the spacing between entire words we can also select parts of some words and only adjust the spacing between those words with these two boxes here we can adjust the King which refers to the spacing between individual pairs of characters if we have nothing selected and we change for example the horizontal King it moves all the characters that are to the right of the cursor the vertical curing box works in a similar way finally with this box we can rotate the selected characters by a specified number of degrees or with nothing selected it would just rotate the character that’s to the right of the cursor next we can use these three dropdowns to change the direction of the text in different ways back over at the left of the controls bar we have a font collections button font collections let us group certain font families together document fonts and recently used fonts are the default collections provided to us by inkscape if we check the box next to one the font family drop down will now only show the fonts in that collection to go back to showing all the available fonts we can click this reset button to edit an existing font collection or create a new one we need to click this button to open up the collections editor and here we can see all the available font families and all the font collections including the fonts inside them to create a new collection we click the plus button down here type in a name and press enter we can then simply drag and drop fonts into the collection now we can use our new font collection here we also have a text and font dialogue that we can work with to open it we can go to text text and font in the font tab of the text and font dialogue we can change a text objects font attributes like we can in the controls bar for the text tool but with the added benefit of seeing a preview of how the changes will look also in order to actually apply the changes to the selected text object we have to click the apply button here we’re also able to set the chosen attributes as the defaults that will be used whenever we create new text objects in the features tab we have some advanced settings we can work with like checking out the different lature types in the font and using different types of capitalization finally using the text tab we can edit the actual text and this also provides us with a spell checker because a text object is not a path if we go to the node tool we don’t have access to the nodes of the text however just like with shapes we can turn a text object into a path by going to path object to path this combines all the characters into one big path now we can modify the nodes one thing to be aware of though is that because this is no longer a text object we can’t use the text tool to change the text or the font attributes after turning the text into a path if we want to separate the letters we can use either the break apart or the split path operation as we learned earlier in the course if we use break apart it will separate the subpaths but it will also fill in any enclosed empty areas if that’s not what we want we can instead use split path and we can now apply different colors to the individual characters however break apart and split path only separate letters that aren’t touching if we have a text object that uses a script font and we turn it into a path then use either break apart or split path it doesn’t separate any of the overlapping characters to fix this if we undo until it’s a text object again we can first go up to the text menu and choose text to glyphs this converts all the characters into separate text objects and now if we want we can turn them all into pads one more thing to know about changing text objects into paths is that if the text object has multiple lines using object to path turns each line into a single path then groups all the paths together if we ungroup it we now have access to each of the paths if we have a text object and a path we can make it so the text follows along the curvature of the path to do this we select both objects then go to the text menu and choose put on path and the text object is now connected to the path so if we move the path the text object moves with it and if we modify the path using the node tool the text will adjust in order to continue following along the curvature we can also still modify the text using the text tool if you want to remove the text object from the path and make it go back to being a normal text object with the object selected we can go to text remove from path however if we undo all of that and instead we want to keep the text like it is but be able to remove the path we have to turn the text object into a path first this means we can’t modify the text using the text tool anymore but now we can delete the path the put on path function works with shapes as well for example I can select a text object and a circle and use put on path to wrap the text around the circle at the moment however however it’s hard to get the text perfectly centered on the circle to fix this I can remove the text from the circle and before putting it back on the circle I’ll set the text alignment to centered if I now wrap the text around the circle I can get it perfectly centered at the top by rotating the circle while holding down the ALT key to snap the angle it’s also possible to wrap the text along the bottom of the circle to do this I just have to flip the circle vertically however this also puts the text inside the circle squeezing the letters together so I’ll likely need to make some spacing adjustments and again I can turn the text object into a path then get rid of the circle if we have a text object selected and we have the text tool active we can see this diamond shaped handle at the bottom right of the text if we click and drag this it will create a box around the text and will force the text to stay within the bounds of the Box this is called flow text another way to create flow text is you click and drag in the canvas when creating a text object if we deselect the text object and select it again we again have the diamond handle at the bottom right for adjusting the size of the Box however we now also have a square handle at the top right with this we can add some padding between the text and the Box the Box around float text is called a frame and we can actually use custom shapes for the frame to do this we first need a text object and a shape and the text object by the way has to be a normal text object not a float one now we can select both objects and go to text float into frame and like with put on path the text is connected to the frame so moving the frame will also move the text and changing the shape of the frame will cause the text to readjust automatically if we want to turn floats text back into a normal text object we can select it and go to text UNF flow or like with put on path we can undo that and instead turn the text object into a path which will keep it the way it is and allow us to delete the frame if we have some flow text and a separate shape we can select both the text object and the shape and go to text set subtraction frames this will cause the text to flow around the shape as we can see if we move the shape onto the text and we can even do this with multiple shapes at a time however we first have to select the text object and all of the shapes that we want to use then do set subtraction frames one way to import an image into our doc is to go to the file menu and choose import we can also copy and paste images into the document and we can even drag and drop them into the document regardless of how we import an image we get a dialogue where we can choose how we want to add the image to our document the two import types we can choose from are embed and Link with embed the image will be embedded into the document this means that if we later delete the image file from our computer or changes location it won’t affect the document it also means that if we save the document and send it to someone else the image will also be included in the document file a disadvantage of this however is that if we use a lot of large images the document file size can get pretty big with the link option on the other hand the image in the document will be linked to the image file on our computer and inkscape will load up the image file whenever we open the document this means that we can add a lot of images to our document without increasing the file size too much but we have to be careful not to delete or move the image files or else inkscape won’t be able to find them for the most part I tend to stick with the embed option all right and after we import an image into our document we will sometimes want to trace a part of it so that will’ll have a vectorized version that we can use in our designs to do this we can first lower the opacity of the image then we can grab the pin tool and start tracing and we could just manually create bzier curves like this but with a complicated image this can get pretty tedious so instead if we look up here in the controls bar we have several modes that we can choose from the default is the be mode which we’ve been using so far and which lets us create curves by clicking and dragging but we also have B spline mode here with this one we just have to click points and it will automatically create curves for us it’s not quite as accurate as beer mode but in most cases I find it works well enough when we’re done with the tracing let’s make sure to go back to beer mode and now we can raise up the opacity of the path and make it whatever color we want we can also delete the image if we no longer need it if we only want a particular part of an image to be visible we can use clipping and masking to do so we first draw a path or a shape over the part of the image that we want to keep then select both objects and for clipping we can either go to the object menu then down to clip and choose set clip or we can right click the selection and choose set clip and this is treated as a single object so we can transform it like a normal object to release the clip we can either select the clipped object and go to object clip release clip or we can just right click it and choose release clip masking is very similar to clipping except it takes the color of the Mask into account a black mask will make the result fully transparent a white mask will make it fully opaque a 50% mask will make it 50% opaque and so on for example if I wanted to use the shape to clip the image again but I also wanted to make the image go from transparent on the left to opaque on the right I could first make the shape black then give it a linear gradient and make the stop on the right fully opaque and white now I can select both objects and I can either go to object mask set mask or right click the selection and choose set mask and to release the mask we could again either use the object menu or right click and choose release mask clipping and masking work on other types of objects as well for example I can use the same shape to clip or mask another shape one menu we have in inkscape is the filters menu filters allow us to add various effects to any object and they tend to work particularly well with images for example in the bevel’s category we can make the object look like a button or we can add some diffused lighting to it I useful filter in the blurs category is feather which lets us blur just the edges of an object the color category lets us affect an objects colors in different ways such as by using Color rise to completely change the colors or using lightness contrast to affect how bright or contrasting the colors are with the image effects filters we can apply a film grain to an object and if we have an image that is kind of blurry we can use sharpen or sharpen more to bring out the details a bit in the morphology category we can add an outline to an object with many options for changing the appearance of the outline with overlays we can add effects on top of an object for example we can add clouds or Frost and we can use noise fill to add a noise overlay to an object giving it a grainy appearance under shadows and glows the filter I use more than any other is drop shadow with this we can add a drop shadow either to the outside of an object or
to the inside we can also apply multiple filters to an object for example we might want to give it an outline and also give it a drop shadow and if we want to remove all of an objects filters at once we can go to filters remove filters here at the bottom one of the tools we have available to us is a shape Builder tool here this tool as its name implies allows us to build shapes and to use it we first need to have some shapes or paths selected if we Now activate the shape Builder tool it hides everything on the canvas that isn’t selected and it turns all of the selected objects gray and puts an outline around each one if we move our cursor over the objects whichever segment we hover over turns a light shade of blue and if we click the segment it turns a darker shade of blue this means that the segment will be included in the shapes that we’re building we can also click and drag over segments and they will be combined into a single segment with the outlines between them disappearing if we take a look in the controls bar we have two modes to choose from add mode and delete mode add mode is the default which let us add segments and with delete mode we can delete segments however we don’t actually have to enable delete mode from here instead with ADD Mode still enabled we can hold down the shift key to temporarily switch to delete mode we can tell that we’re on delete mode because the cursor has a minus sign next to it whereas with ADD mode it has a plus sign next to it and with delete mode active the segments we hover over turn pink and if we click one it disappears also similar to add mode we can click and drag over segments to delete them all at once however we don’t actually need to delete segments because any segments that aren’t blue when we apply the results will automatically get deleted and to apply the result we can either click the check mark button here here next to finished or we can press the enter key and now we have all of the different shapes that we built now if we undo all of that until we have the original objects back and we select them all activate the shape Builder tool and start building we can undo a previous action by pressing contrl Z also if you want to cancel the building all together we can either click the x button up here or we can press Escape in the lesson for the welcome dialogue we briefly solve that one category of templates that we have is shape Builder we can use these templates along with the shape Builder tool to build a variety of shapes and instead of closing out of inkscape and opening it back up to get to the welcome dialogue we can actually access all the templates by going to the file menu and choosing new from template now we can go to the shape Builder tab choose a template and click create from template and it will start up a new document using the selected template now we can select everything grab the shape Builder tool and get to work one very useful feature of inkscape is path effects which are special effects that we can apply to paths and shapes and which can speed up our designs quite a bit to use path effects we need to open up the path effects dialogue which which we can do by going to the path menu and choosing path effects and now with a path or shape selected if we click this Arrow here we can see all the available path effects there are quite a lot of them so in this lesson we’ll just go over some of the ones that I find to be the most useful first we have corners this is actually the path effect that gets applied to an object when we go to the node tool and use the add Corners LP button here if we click it we can see in the path effects dialogue that the object now has the cornner path effect applied to it as we’ve seen before with the cornner path effect we have circular handles near each of the objects nodes which we can use to adjust the rounding at the corner near that node but with the path effects dialogue open we also have some other settings that we can play around with for example using this radius box we can adjust the rounding radius of all the corners at the same time or if we select some nodes and check this change only selected nodes option we can adjust the rounding at just the selected Corners also instead of holding control and clicking a handle to cycle between the different Corner types we have these buttons for changing the corner types for example we have fillet which is the default we have inverse fillet which inverts the rounding we have chamfer which squares off the corners and we can use this chamfer step setting to change the appearance of it and finally we have inverse chamfer which is the opposite of chamfer and which is also affected by the step setting if we apply the offset path effect to a shape or path and we go to the no tool we get this orange circular handle that we can use to either outset or inset the object we can also change the join type which affects the appearance at the corners miter is the default and it keeps the corner sharp we can also Square Off the corners using bevel and we can use rounded to round the corners offset is particularly useful for creating a border around one or more objects for example I’ll first duplicate these two objects then I’ll Union the duplicates together make it a different color and send it below the original two objects now I’ll apply offset to it and use the node tool to outset it creating a border for the objects the power stroke path effect is useful for paths that only have a stroke if I apply it to this path the ends of the path by default become tapered and if I go to the node tool I now have these pink diamond handles at different points along the path these are called control points and I can move them around and use them to adjust the width of the path near that point if I hold control and click a control point it adds a new one holding control and alts and clicking one deletes it using the width multiplier setting I can adjust the width of the entire path changing the smoothing type will affect the appearance of the path in different ways using the two cap settings I can change the appearance at each end point of the path if we apply the bin path effect to a shape or path and we click this edit on canvas button we get a green horizontal line going across the center of the object if we click and drag the line we can bend the object we can also move around the nodes at the two ends of the line and use the be handles to adjust the curvature and if we double click the line we can add a new node to it it we can adjust the width of the object using this handle here which we can also do from the pth effects dialogue pattern along path lets us stretch or repeat a shape or path along another path to use it we first need to copy the object that we want to use as the pattern next we select the path we want to put the pattern on and add pattern along path to it and in here we need to click one of these two buttons the main difference is that link to path and clipboard will allow us to modify the original pattern object and have it also affect the pattern whereas with paste path modifying the original object won’t affect the pattern so let’s go with link to path and clipboard the default pattern type is single stretched which takes a single copy of the pattern object and stretches it along the path if we can change the color of want another pattern type is single which just puts a single copy of the object at the start of the path and we also have repeated and repeated stretched repeated will repeat the object along the path as many times as possible and repeated stretched will stretch the copies so that they fill up the entire path some other things we can change are the width of the copies the spacing between them and their offsets on the path the perspective envelope path operation allows us to either change the perspective of an object or deform its shape the default type is perspective and if we now go to the node tool we have these four nodes at the corners of the object’s bounding box and we can use use them to change the object’s perspective we can make it so the movements get mirrored horizontally and or vertically if we change the type to envelope deformation instead of changing the object’s perspective the nodes now let us deform its shape and again we can mirror the movements in order to use interpretate subpaths we first need to have an object that consists of multiple subpaths to do this we can select two or more objects and go to path combine if we now add interpolate subpaths to it it interpolates between the subpaths by default giving us a total of five subpaths that have an equal amount of spacing between them we can change the number of sub paths using the step setting also if we use the node tool to modify one of the original subpaths all the interpolated subpaths will get modified accordingly if we click this edit on canvas button here it gives us a green horizontal line across the object this is the line along which the interpolated paths are created we can click and drag the line to bend it we can also move the nodes at the ends of the line and we can even add new nodes to it if we add the mirror symmetry path effect to a path or shape it will mirror the object along a mirror line and we can use the node tool to change the position and angle of the mirror line using these nodes also if we change the shape of the original object the mirrored version will change accordingly changing the colors will also by default affect the mirrored version however if we check split elements here change ching The Originals colors won’t affect the mirrored version and we can now also select the mirrored version and change its colors separately if we add the splice path effect to a shape or path it will slice the object along a slice line which by default goes vertically along the center of the object and like with mirror symmetry we can use the node tool to reposition and rotate the line and what’s cool is we can also use Slice on a group of objects with a tiling path effect we can repeat a path or shape in a ton of different ways we can change the way that the tiles are mirrored we can change the number of rows and columns we can adjust the gaps between the tiles we can offset alternating rows or columns by certain percentage we can change the scale of the tiles in different ways and we can rotate the tiles in different ways also if we split the elements we’re able to select the individual tiles and give them different colors we can actually also add multiple path effects to a single shape or path for example I might add the bend path effect to this object and bend it then decide I also want to add the offset path effect to it when an object has multiple path effects attached to it we can click and drag on these little dots here to change the order of the path effects which can change the appearance of the final result we can also use this ey icon to toggle a path effect on or off and we can use the trash icon to remove it one more thing to know about path effects is that it’s pretty easy to accidentally change their settings especially if we start making Transformations on an object that has them or we start grouping them together with other objects because of this when we’re finished adjusting an object’s path effect settings we’ll often want to finalize the settings to do this we just have to do object to path on the object any path effects that the object had disappear from the path effects dialogue but the results remain on the object the object is also now a normal path so we get access to all of its nodes because path effects only work on paths and shapes if we try to add one to a text object it doesn’t let us in order to use path effects on a text object one thing we can do is first turn the text object into a path we can of course do this by going to path object to path like normal but if we have the path text dialogue open we also conveniently have a convert text to paths button if we click it the text object becomes a path and now we can add path effects to it of course once we turn a text object into a path we can no longer change its text or its font attributes but we have a way around this which is to First create a clone of the text object then apply path effects to the Clone and if we select the normal text object we again conveniently have a clone button in the path effects dialogue if we click it it creates a clone of the object directly on top of it and we can now add path effects to the Clone but what’s cool about this is that if we change the text or font attributes of the original text object the Clone will change as well however there’s a bug that causes the final character to not show up in the Clone to fix this all we have to do is add some extra character like a space to the very end of the text object which fixes the Clone and now we can remove the extra character now if we select the Clone again you can see in the pets dialogue that the Clone also has the Clone original path effect attached to it this was added automatically by inkscape Under the Clone original settings we can actually change what aspects of the original object that the Clone copies by default the Clone copies the original object shape along with it lpes which are its path effects and it also copies some of its attributes including its style its clip path and its mask now because the Clone copies the style if we change the original object’s colors the clone’s colors will change as well however if we remove the word style in here along with the comma after it and press enter now changing the original object’s colors doesn’t affect the Clone and we can freely change the clone’s colors we can also create multiple clones of a text object to do this we can either clone the text object itself again or we can simply duplicate the Clone this also duplicates the path effects I can now change the color of this clone move it below the other one add the offset path effect and outset it creating a border for the other clone and modifying the original text object will modify both clones and again we might have to add and remove an extra character in order to update the Clones another very useful feature of inkscape is extensions which are located in the extensions menu and like with path effects we have a lot of them so we’ll only cover some of the most useful ones first up in the color category we have randomize if we check live preview down here we can use this extension to randomize the colors of selected shapes or paths in different ways for example we can randomize the hue the saturation the lightness and the opacity to cancel the extension results we can click the close button or we can click the apply button to permanently apply the results the generate from path category has quite a few useful extensions and the first one we’ll look at is distribute along path this extension Works similarly to the pattern along path path effect except instead of copying the pattern object into the clipboard we need the pattern object to have a higher Z order than the path that we’ll Place copies onto and we need to have both objects selected for check live preview the default behavior is to place multiple copies of the pattern object along the patter path with no space between them we can also see by looking at the gradient that each copy rotates in order to follow the orientation of the path to stop this from happening we can uncheck follow path orientation here now the copies maintain the same rotation as the original pattern object if we check the next option it will add just enough space between the copies to fill up the entire path or we can instead use the space between copy setting to manually adjust the spacing this also works with negative numbers with the normal offset setting we can adjust the vertical offset of the copies on the path and with tangential offset we can slide the copies back and forth along the path with the extrude between two paths extension we can connect the nodes between two selected shapes or paths using either l or polygons if we apply the extension the polygons or lines are placed inside a group we can change the colors of the group as a whole or we can ungroup it and work on the individual objects the next extension we’ll look at interpolate between paths requires that we have two or more path selected so if we want to use it on shapes we have to turn them into paths first now if we open up the interpolate between paths dialogue and check live preview it interpolates between the paths by creating new paths between them we can use the interpolation step setting to tell it how many paths you create between each pair of selected paths we can change the method it uses to interpolate between the paths and we can tell it whether or not to interpolate between the Styles or colors of the paths with the long Shadow extension we can easily apply a long Shadow effect to a selected path or shape we can adjust the length of the Shadow as well as the angle and if the object has a stroke we can use the stroke color as the color for the Shadow we can also use this on text but we have to turn the text into a path first also to easily get back to the previous extension we can either choose previous extension settings to bring up the dialogue again or we can choose previous extension to apply the same extension using the previous settings and by the way applying the long Shadow extension gives us a group of two objects if we ungroup it we now have both the original object and a group of Shadow objects the pattern along path extension does basically the same thing as the pattern along path path effect except with the extension we can use a group of objects as the pattern object and like with the distribute along path extension the pattern object needs to have a higher Z order and we need to have both objects selected like with the path effect we can choose how to place the pattern object onto the path we also have a deformation type setting snake makes the copies rotate along with the path Direction whereas ribbon keeps the copies upright creating more of a ribbon appearance we can also adjust the spacing between the copies as well as the offsets a useful extension in the text category is lauram ipsum which lets us easily create placeholder text if we have nothing selected it flows the text inside the page borders we can adjust the number of paragraphs as well as the number of sentences in each paragraph with the fluctuation setting here we can randomly add or subtract up to a specified number of sentences from each paragraph so that they don’t all have the exact same number of sentences if we apply the extension we can see that it creates a text object and we can change this font attributes also if we run the extension with a shape or path selected it will use the object as a frame for the text we touched briefly on clipping and masking earlier in the course but there are actually a few more cool things we can do with them for example if we go into the object menu for both clipping and masking we have inverse options with inverse clipping we can cut the top object out of the bottom one this is similar to using the difference path operation except like with normal clipping we can always release the clip to get the original objects back with inverse masking the color of the top object affects the transparency of the part of the bottom object that it covers like with normal masking the closer to Black the higher the transparency another difference with inverse clipping and masking is that they actually both use path effects this means we’re not able to use them on images like we can with normal clipping and masking if we open up the path effects dialogue we can see that inverse masking uses the power mask path effect and in here we can invert the mask we can hide the mask and we can remove the background another feature we have is clip groups to create a clip group we right click an object and choose set clip group what this does is it Clips the object with itself then puts it inside a group and what this means is that if we enter into the group any objects that we create will also be clipped and if we resize the original object it will also resize the clip if we would like to vectorize a RoR or bit map image and use it in our designs we can use the trace bitmap dialogue to open it we can either go to path trace bitmap or we can write click the image and choose trace bitmap and here we have three tabs single scan and multicolor for vectorizing normal images and pixel art for vectorizing pixel art images the main difference between single scan and multicolor is that single scan will give us a single path and multicolor will give us a group of multiple paths we can also see in the preview box here that the multicolor result will be much more detailed than the single scan result and for each tab we have a variety of detection modes to choose from which will give us different results for single scan the parts that are black in the preview will be included in the results and the white parts will be removed we can invert this by checking invert image here we can also use the thresold setting to increase or decrease the amount of detail in the result and when we like what we see in the preview we can apply the result by clicking the apply button here this creates A New Path on on top of the image and like with all paths we can do things like change its color and perform path operations on it as I mentioned before the multicolor tab will give us a group of paths and the number of paths it gives us is determined by the scan setting a default of eight gives us eight paths and we can change this to add or remove detail from the result result applying the result also takes a bit longer than single scan because it has to scan the image multiple times we now have a group of pads and we can enter into the group to edit the individual paths we previously went over linear gradients and Radial gradients but we actually have another type of gradient that we can use called mesh gradients and we can apply one to a selected object by clicking the mesh gradient button in the filling stroke dialogue mesh gradients go from White at the top left and bottom right Corners to the original color at the bottom left and top right Corners if we grab the mesh tool over here we can select one or more Corner nodes and change the colors we can also move the nodes around as well as use these handles to adjust the curvature of the mesh to add more notes to the mesh we can double click a vertical segment to add rows or a horizontal segment to add columns we we actually have another type of mesh gradient called a conical gradient to access it we have to create another object then go back to the mesh tool choose the conical gradient button in the controls bar and doubleclick the object like with radial gradients conical gradients start from the center and move out and we can double click segments to add rows and columns with the paint bucket tool located here in the toolbox we can fill in what are called bounded areas a bounded area is an area that is completely surrounded by pixels that are different from itself for example the red rectangle here is completely surrounded by the white pixels of the page and if I click the rectangle with the paint bucket tool it creates A New Path on top of the rectangle and fills it in with the color of the paint bucket tool that’s not particularly useful but if we have overlapping objects all the overlapping parts that have the same color as the pixel I click will get filled in we can also use it to fill in empty areas that are completely surrounded by objects and we can easily change change the color of the New Path either using the color palette or the fill and stroke dialogue this also changes the color of the paint bucket tool so any New Paths we create with it we’ll use the new color and because this works on pixels and because inkscape uses anti-aliasing to smooth out the pixels on the edges of objects in the display if we zoom in a bit we can see that the tool doesn’t perfectly fill in the areas and actually being zoomed in will give us a better result as it gives the tool more pixels to work with we also have this grow shrink by setting if we use a positive value for this it will expand the path and if we use a negative value it will shrink the path the threshold setting determines how closely the neighboring pixels must match the first pixel for example with these two overlapping objects that are different shades of red if we use a load threshold and click one of the bounded areas it will only fill in that particular area but if we increase the threshold we’re able to make it fill in both areas we can also use the fill by setting here to tell the paint bucket tool to only consider a particular color channel of the pixels for example with Alpha as long as all the overlapping objects have the same alpha or transparency value they will all get filled in with the tweak tool here we’re able to sculpt and Scatter selected shapes and paths in various ways for example with the default move mode if we click and drag over the objects they will move in the same direction as the cursor we can also use the width setting to control how large of an area to affect and we can use the for setting to control how much force to apply to the objects with the next mode clicking and dragging will move the objects toward the cursor and with most of the modes we have the option of using the shift key to perform the opposite action for example with this mode holding down shift as we click and drag will push the objects away from the cursor we can use the next mode to scatter the objects in random directions with the next one we can either make the object shrink or hold down shift to make them grow next we can either rotate the objects clockwise or hold shift to rotate them counterclockwise the next mode will duplicate the objects holding down shift with a duplicate mode mode will delete the objects with the next mode we can push parts of the objects in different [Music] directions we can use the next one to either shrink parts of the objects or hold shift to enlarge them the next mode will either pull parts of the objects toward the cursor or push them if we hold shift next we can roughen up the edges of the objects with the next mode we can make the colors of the objects get closer and closer to the color of the tool using the next mode we can apply random colors to the objects finally we can use this mode to either increase the blur of the objects or hold shift to decrease it using the spray tool here we can either spray duplicates or clones of selected objects or spray them as a single path the width setting allows us to change the size of the spray area and the amount setting let’s just change how many copies to spray rotation which goes from 0 to 100% lets us apply a random rotation to the copies similarly scale lets us apply random scaling to the copies with a high scatter setting the copies are scattered all around the spray area with a low scatter and a low Focus Focus the copies will stay near the center and with a high focus they will stay near the border when both of the eye buttons here are turned on we’re able to spray over both transparent areas and non-transparent areas if we turn on just the Open Eye button we’re only able to spray over non-transparent areas and if we turn on just the closed die button we can only spray over transparent areas we can use this button to prevent copies of the same color from [Music] overlapping and we can use this one to prevent all copies from overlapping turning on this button gives us some options for affecting the colors of the copies for example with this one we can apply the background color to the fill color of the copies and with this one we can apply it to the stroke color of the copies we can also invert the color using this button if we activate the Eraser tool here we can either delete objects that we click and drag over or using the cut mode we can cut through parts of the objects we can use the width setting to adjust the width of the tool if we use a positive value for thinning dragging fast will make the width smaller using a negative value will have the opposite effect with caps we we can round the ends of the tool trimmer will roughen up the edges of the tool and with a high mass the tool will lag behind the cursor allowing us to get a smoother result because cut mode actually cuts through the objects we can only use it on shape and paths we can’t use it on images but if we turn on clip mode here instead of actually cutting through the objects it uses clipping so now we can use it on images it can sometimes be useful to work with multiple pages in our document especially if we want to create something like a PDF file to create and manage multiple Pages we use the pages tool located here in the toolbox if we activate the pages tool we can create another page with the exact same dimensions as our current one by simply coming up to the controls bar and clicking the new page button we can also choose a specified format for the selected page or just resize it manually using the handles at the corners we can use the circular handles to adjust the margins for the page we can do this from the controls bar as well and we can also snap objects to the page margins if we click and drag a page using the pages tool we can reposition it on the canvas and if we have this option up here turned on moving a page will also move any objects that are touching the page turning off the option will keep the objects where they are if we would like to save our document we can go to file save or save as this will save the document as an inkscape SVG and we’ll include all the information we need to continue working on our document and inkscape at a later time we can also use the SVG file on something like a website for the most part however in order to use our designs outside of inkscape we’ll need to export them to a different format like a PNG or jpg image file to do this we use the export dialogue which we can open by going to file export in the export dialogue we have the options of exporting everything inside the page everything inside the document everything inside the current selection or we can define a custom area to export down here we have a checkbox that says export selected only when this is unchecked everything inside the selection box will be exported even objects that aren’t actually currently selected if we check the box only the actual selected objects will be exported we also have the option of adding a background color to the export to export we can click the folder icon here give it a name and choose the ort location choose the format to export to and click save you should now know enough about inkscape to put it to use in your own designs but if you would like to go even deeper as well as get plenty of practice with inkscape’s tools and features I have a number of full inkscape courses on my website I’ll leave a link to them in the description box below also be sure to check out the other videos on my channel which are dedicated to helping you master inkscape thanks for watching

Quiz Answer Key
JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It was primarily designed for creating network-centric applications and enhancing web pages with dynamic and interactive elements.
Client-side JavaScript is JavaScript code that is executed by the user’s web browser, rather than on a web server. One advantage is less server interaction, as user input can be validated in the browser before being sent to the server.
Two limitations of client-side JavaScript are its inability to read or write files (for security reasons) and its lack of built-in support for networking applications or multithreading/multiprocessing.
The standard HTML tags for embedding JavaScript are <script> and </script>. The recommended attribute to specify the scripting language is type with the value “text/javascript”. The language attribute is considered phased out in recent HTML versions.
The var keyword is used to declare variables in JavaScript, essentially creating a named container in memory. Declaration is simply stating the variable name (e.g., var myVariable;), while initialization is assigning an initial value to the variable (e.g., var myVariable = 10;).
The two primary scopes are global scope (variables defined anywhere in the code) and local scope (variables defined within a function). Within a function, a local variable with the same name as a global variable takes precedence, effectively hiding the global variable.
Examples of arithmetic operators include + (addition), – (subtraction), and * (multiplication). The addition operator adds two operands, the subtraction operator subtracts the second operand from the first, and the multiplication operator multiplies both operands.
Comparison operators in JavaScript are used to compare the values of two operands and return a Boolean value (true or false) based on the comparison. For example, (x > y) where x is 5 and y is 10 would evaluate to false.
The logical AND (&&) operator evaluates to true only if both of its operands (the expressions on either side of the operator) evaluate to true. If either operand is false, the entire expression will be false.
JavaScript events are actions or occurrences that happen in the browser, such as a user clicking a button or a page finishing loading. A common HTML event is onclick, which can be used to execute a JavaScript function when a user clicks on an HTML element.

JavaScript Tutorial Briefing Document
Date: October 26, 2023 Source: Excerpts from “javascript_tutorial.pdf” (Tutorials Point, Copyright 2015)
Overview:
This document provides a briefing on the fundamental concepts of JavaScript as presented in the initial sections of the “javascript_tutorial.pdf”. The tutorial is designed for beginners with prior knowledge of HTML and some exposure to object-oriented programming and online application creation. It covers the basics of the language, including its nature, syntax, how to enable it in browsers, placement within HTML, fundamental data types, variables, operators, control flow statements (if-else, switch-case, loops), functions, events, cookies, page redirection, dialog boxes, the void keyword, and page printing. The document also introduces JavaScript objects and their basic properties and methods, including built-in objects like Number, Boolean, String, Array, Date, Math, and RegExp, as well as the Document Object Model (DOM). Finally, it touches upon advanced topics like errors and exceptions, form validation, animation, multimedia, debugging, image maps, and browser-specific information.
Part 1: JavaScript Basics
This section lays the groundwork for understanding JavaScript.
What is JavaScript? JavaScript is described as a “lightweight, interpreted programming language” primarily used for creating “network-centric applications” and adding interactivity to web pages. It is highlighted as “complimentary to and integrated with Java” and “HTML“, as well as being “open and cross-platform.” Its history is briefly mentioned, noting its initial name as LiveScript and its introduction in Netscape 2.0 in 1995. The importance of the ECMA-262 Specification for standardizing the core language is also noted.
Client-Side JavaScript: The tutorial emphasizes that client-side JavaScript, embedded in or referenced by HTML documents, is the most common form. It allows web pages to be dynamic, interact with users, control browsers, and dynamically create HTML content. Advantages over server-side scripts include “less server interaction“, “immediate feedback to the visitors“, “increased interactivity“, and “richer interfaces.” Limitations include the inability to read or write files (for security), lack of networking application support, and no multithreading or multiprocessor capabilities.
JavaScript Development Tools: The tutorial points out that JavaScript doesn’t require expensive tools, with a simple text editor being sufficient. Several more advanced editors like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5 are also mentioned.
Where is JavaScript Today? The tutorial mentions ECMAScript Edition 5 as a significant update and notes that JavaScript 2.0 conforms to this standard with minor differences. It states that Netscape’s JavaScript and Microsoft’s JScript align with the ECMAScript standard while still supporting non-standard features.
JavaScript Syntax: JavaScript code is placed within <script>…</script> HTML tags. The <script> tag can be placed anywhere but is “normally recommended” within the <head> tags. Important attributes of the <script> tag are language (though phased out, typically “javascript”) and type (recommended, set to “text/javascript”). A basic “Hello World” example using document.write() is provided, along with the use of HTML comments (<!– … //–>) to handle browsers without JavaScript support, where // within the comment prevents the closing HTML comment tag from being interpreted as JavaScript. The tutorial clarifies that “JavaScript ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines” and that “Semicolons are Optional” if statements are on separate lines, although using them is good practice. Importantly, “JavaScript is a case-sensitive language.” Both // (single-line) and /* … */ (multi-line) comments are supported, and <!– is treated as a single-line JavaScript comment, with //–> being the recommended way to close an HTML comment containing JavaScript.
JavaScript Enabling: The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to enable or disable JavaScript in various popular browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. The use of <noscript> tags to display a warning message to users with JavaScript disabled is also explained. For example:
<noscript>
Sorry…JavaScript is needed to go ahead.
</noscript>
JavaScript Placement: The tutorial details four ways to include JavaScript in HTML: within the <head>, within the <body>, in both <head> and <body>, and in an external .js file included using the src attribute of the <script> tag. Placing scripts in the <head> is suggested for scripts that run on events, while placing them in the <body> is for scripts that generate content on page load. External files (<script type=”text/javascript” src=”filename.js” ></script>) are recommended for reusing identical JavaScript code across multiple pages.
JavaScript Variables: JavaScript supports three primitive data types: “Numbers, e.g., 123, 120.50 etc.“, “Strings of text, e.g. ‘This text string’ etc.“, and “Boolean, e.g. true or false.“. It also defines trivial types null and undefined, and a composite type object. All numbers are treated as 64-bit floating-point values. Variables are declared using the var keyword (var money;, var money, name;). Initialization can occur at declaration or later (var name = “Ali”;, money = 2000.50;). Re-declaration of variables with the same name using var should be avoided. JavaScript is an “untyped language“, meaning a variable can hold any data type, and the type can change during execution. Variable scope is either global (defined anywhere) or local (visible only within a function). Local variables take precedence over global variables with the same name within a function. Rules for variable names include: no JavaScript reserved keywords, must not start with a numeral, must begin with a letter or underscore, and are case-sensitive. A comprehensive list of JavaScript reserved words is provided.
JavaScript Operators: An operator is defined as a symbol that performs an operation on operands (e.g., in 4 + 5 = 9, + is the operator, and 4 and 5 are operands). The tutorial covers arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %, ++, –, noting that + can also concatenate strings), comparison operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=), logical operators (&&, ||, !), bitwise operators (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>, >>>), assignment operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, and their bitwise counterparts), and miscellaneous operators, specifically the conditional (ternary) operator (? ЁЯЩВ and the typeof operator. The typeof operator returns a string indicating the data type of its operand (e.g., “number”, “string”, “boolean”, “object”, “function”, “undefined”). Examples are provided for each operator type. For instance, regarding the conditional operator:
result = (a > b) ? 100 : 200;
This assigns 100 to result if a is greater than b, and 200 otherwise.
Part 2: JavaScript Objects
This section introduces the concept of objects in JavaScript.
JavaScript Objects: An object is a collection of properties (named values) and methods (functions that can be performed on the object). The tutorial covers user-defined objects, defining methods for objects, and the use of the with keyword (though often discouraged).
Built-in Objects: The tutorial then delves into various built-in JavaScript objects, detailing their properties and methods with examples:
Number: Properties like MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, NaN, NEGATIVE_INFINITY, POSITIVE_INFINITY, prototype, constructor, and methods like toExponential(), toFixed(), toLocaleString(), toPrecision(), toString(), valueOf().
Boolean: Properties constructor, prototype, and methods toSource(), toString(), valueOf().
String: Properties constructor, length, prototype, and numerous methods for string manipulation (e.g., charAt(), charCodeAt(), concat(), indexOf(), lastIndexOf(), slice(), split(), replace(), search(), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase(), etc.) and HTML wrappers (e.g., anchor(), bold(), italics(), link()).
Date: Properties constructor, prototype, various methods for getting and setting date and time components (e.g., getDate(), getDay(), getFullYear(), getHours(), setDate(), setFullYear(), setHours(), getTime(), setTime(), and their UTC counterparts), as well as methods for converting dates to string formats (e.g., toDateString(), toGMTString(), toLocaleDateString(), toString(), toTimeString(), toUTCString(), valueOf()). Static methods Date.parse() and Date.UTC() are also covered.
Math: Properties for mathematical constants (e.g., Math.E, Math.PI, Math.LN2, Math.LOG2E, Math.SQRT2) and a wide range of mathematical functions as methods (e.g., abs(), acos(), asin(), atan(), ceil(), cos(), exp(), floor(), log(), max(), min(), pow(), random(), round(), sin(), sqrt(), tan()).
RegExp: Covers regular expressions, including brackets, quantifiers, literal characters, metacharacters, and modifiers. Properties like constructor, global, ignoreCase, lastIndex, multiline, source, and methods exec(), test(), toSource(), toString().
DOM (Document Object Model): Briefly introduces the DOM, mentioning “The Legacy DOM”, “The W3C DOM”, and “The IE 4 DOM”, as well as “DOM Compatibility”.
Part 3: JavaScript Advanced
This section touches upon more advanced JavaScript concepts.
Errors and Exceptions: Discusses syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors. It introduces the try…catch…finally statement for error handling, the throw statement for raising custom exceptions, and the onerror() method.
Form Validation: Covers basic and data format validation techniques in JavaScript to ensure user input is correct before submission.
Animation: Introduces manual and automated animation techniques using JavaScript, including rollover effects with mouse events.
Multimedia: Briefly mentions checking for browser plug-ins and controlling multimedia elements using JavaScript.
Debugging: Provides information on error messages in different browsers (IE, Firefox/Mozilla), error notifications, and general tips for debugging JavaScript code.
Image Map: Covers the implementation of image maps using JavaScript.
Browsers: Discusses the navigator object and its properties (e.g., appName, appVersion, userAgent) and methods, as well as techniques for browser detection.
Key Themes and Important Ideas:
JavaScript as a Client-Side Scripting Language: The primary role of JavaScript is to enhance HTML and create dynamic and interactive web pages by running in the user’s browser.
Ease of Implementation: JavaScript is presented as easy to start with, requiring just a text editor and a web browser.
Integration with HTML: JavaScript code is embedded within HTML using <script> tags, allowing for close interaction between the structure and behavior of a web page.
Fundamental Programming Concepts: The tutorial covers core programming concepts like variables, data types, operators, control flow statements (conditionals and loops), and functions, providing a foundation for writing more complex scripts.
Object-Oriented Capabilities: While described as interpreted, JavaScript is also highlighted as having object-oriented capabilities, with the introduction of objects, properties, and methods.
Built-in Functionality: JavaScript provides a rich set of built-in objects (Number, Boolean, String, Array, Date, Math, RegExp) with numerous properties and methods that simplify common programming tasks.
Event Handling: JavaScript enables the creation of interactive web pages by allowing scripts to respond to user-initiated events (e.g., onclick, onsubmit, onmouseover).
Browser Interaction: JavaScript can interact with the browser environment, including handling cookies, performing page redirects and refreshes, and displaying dialog boxes.
Error Handling and Validation: The tutorial introduces mechanisms for handling errors and validating user input, crucial for creating robust web applications.

JavaScript Basics: A Beginner’s Guide
Let’s discuss JavaScript Basics based on the provided tutorial.
What is JavaScript? JavaScript is described as a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It is designed for creating network-centric applications and is commonly used as part of web pages to enable client-side scripts that can interact with the user and create dynamic pages. JavaScript has object-oriented capabilities and is complementary to and integrated with Java and HTML. It is also considered open and cross-platform and very easy to implement because it is integrated with HTML. It was initially known as LiveScript but was renamed JavaScript by Netscape, possibly due to the popularity of Java. JavaScript first appeared in Netscape 2.0 in 1995.
Audience and Prerequisites The tutorial is prepared for JavaScript beginners to help them understand the basic functionality for building dynamic web pages and web applications. It is assumed that the reader has prior knowledge of HTML coding. Some prior exposure to object-oriented programming concepts and a general idea of creating online applications would also be helpful.
Client-Side JavaScriptClient-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. For the code to be interpreted by the browser, the script needs to be included in or referenced by an HTML document. This allows web pages to be dynamic, interacting with users, controlling the browser, and dynamically creating HTML content. Client-side JavaScript offers advantages over traditional server-side scripts, such as less server interaction, immediate feedback to visitors, increased interactivity, and richer interfaces.
Limitations of JavaScript Despite its capabilities, JavaScript is not considered a full-fledged programming language and has limitations. Client-side JavaScript does not allow reading or writing files for security reasons. It also lacks support for networking applications, multithreading, and multiprocessor capabilities. However, it excels at adding interactivity to static HTML pages.
JavaScript Development Tools A major advantage of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive development tools. You can start with a simple text editor like Notepad. As it’s an interpreted language within a web browser, a compiler is not needed. Several vendors offer more advanced JavaScript editing tools, such as Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5.
Where is JavaScript Today? Modern JavaScript implementations like Netscape’s JavaScript and Microsoft’s JScript conform to the ECMAScript standard.
Including JavaScript in HTML (Placement) JavaScript code is implemented using <script>…</script> HTML tags in a web page. These tags can be placed anywhere within the web page, but it is generally recommended to keep them within the <head> tags. The <script> tag signals the browser to interpret the text within it as a script. The <script> tag can have attributes like language (though its use is being phased out) and type, which should be set to “text/javascript”.
There are preferred ways to include JavaScript in an HTML file:
In the <head>…</head> section: This is often used for scripts that run on events, like user clicks.
In the <body>…</body> section: Scripts placed here typically run as the page loads to generate content.
In both <head> and <body> sections: You can have scripts in both sections.
In an external file: For reusing code across multiple pages, JavaScript can be stored in a .js file and included using the src attribute of the <script> tag in the <head> section.
Basic Syntax
Whitespace and Line Breaks: JavaScript ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines, allowing for flexible formatting to improve readability.
Semicolons: Semicolons at the end of simple statements are generally optional if each statement is on a separate line. However, it’s good programming practice to use semicolons.
Case Sensitivity: JavaScript is case-sensitive. Keywords, variables, function names, and identifiers must have consistent capitalization (e.g., Time and TIME are different).
Comments: JavaScript supports C-style (/* … */ for multi-line and single-line) and C++-style (// for single-line) comments. It also recognizes the HTML comment opening <!– as a single-line comment but requires the closing –> to be written as //–> to avoid being read as JavaScript code.
Enabling JavaScript in Browsers The tutorial outlines how to enable JavaScript in various browsers:
Internet Explorer: Through Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Custom Level -> Scripting -> Active Scripting -> Enable.
Firefox: By typing about:config in the address bar, accepting the warning, searching for javascript.enabled, and toggling its value.
Chrome: Via Chrome menu -> Settings -> Show advanced settings -> Privacy -> Content settings -> Javascript and selecting the desired option.
Warning for Non-JavaScript Browsers The <noscript> tags can be used to display a warning message to users whose browsers do not support JavaScript or have it disabled. The content within <noscript> tags is displayed in place of the JavaScript code in such cases.
Variables JavaScript allows working with three primitive data types: Numbers, Strings, and Boolean. It also defines two trivial data types: null and undefined. Additionally, JavaScript supports a composite data type: object. Importantly, JavaScript does not distinguish between integer and floating-point numbers; all numbers are represented as 64-bit floating-point values according to the IEEE 754 standard.
Variables are named containers for storing data. They are declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var keyword. Variable initialization is the process of storing a value in a variable, which can happen at the time of declaration or later. The var keyword should only be used for the initial declaration or initialization of a variable. JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a variable can hold a value of any data type, and the type can change during program execution.
Variable Scope JavaScript has two variable scopes:
Global Variables: Declared outside any function, they have global scope and can be accessed anywhere in the code.
Local Variables: Declared within a function, they are visible only within that function. Function parameters are always local. A local variable with the same name as a global variable takes precedence within the function, effectively hiding the global variable.
Variable Names When naming variables, the following rules apply:
Reserved JavaScript keywords cannot be used.
They should not start with a numeral (0-9) but must begin with a letter or an underscore.
They are case-sensitive.
Reserved Words The tutorial provides a list of reserved words that cannot be used as identifiers in JavaScript.
Operators JavaScript supports various types of operators:
Arithmetic Operators: These include + (addition, also for string concatenation), – (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), % (modulus), ++ (increment), and — (decrement).
Comparison Operators: These include == (equal), != (not equal), > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equal to), and <= (less than or equal to).
Logical Operators: These include && (logical AND), || (logical OR), and ! (logical NOT).
Bitwise Operators: These operate on the bit level and include & (bitwise AND), | (bitwise OR), ^ (bitwise XOR), ~ (bitwise NOT), << (left shift), >> (right shift), and >>> (right shift with zero).
Assignment Operators: These assign values to variables and include = (simple assignment), += (add and assignment), -= (subtract and assignment), *= (multiply and assignment), /= (divide and assignment), and %= (modulus and assignment). Similar assignment operators exist for bitwise operations (e.g., <<=, >>=, &=, |=, ^=).
Miscellaneous Operators:Conditional Operator (? ЁЯЩВ: This is a ternary operator that evaluates a condition and returns one of two expressions based on the result.
typeof Operator: This unary operator returns a string indicating the data type of its operand (e.g., “number”, “string”, “boolean”, “object”, “function”, “undefined”). Note that typeof null returns “object”.
This covers the fundamental aspects of JavaScript as introduced in the “JavaScript Basics” part of the tutorial. The subsequent parts delve into JavaScript Objects and Advanced topics.

The core of the language has been embedded in various web browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer.
The ECMA-262 Specification defined a standard version of the core JavaScript language, and JavaScript 2.0 conforms to Edition 5 of this standard.
Data Types:
JavaScript allows you to work with three primitive data types: Numbers, Strings of text, and Boolean (true or false).
It also defines two trivial data types: null and undefined, each having a single value.
JavaScript supports a composite data type known as object.
Notably, JavaScript does not distinguish between integer values and floating-point values. All numbers are represented as 64-bit floating-point format defined by the IEEE 754 standard.
Variables:
JavaScript uses variables as named containers to store data.
Variables are declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var keyword.
Variable initialization involves storing a value in a variable, which can occur during declaration or later.
JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a variable can hold a value of any data type, and this type can change during the program’s execution.
Variables have scope: global scope (defined outside functions, accessible anywhere) and local scope (defined within a function, visible only there). Local variables take precedence over global variables with the same name within a function.
There are rules for naming variables: they cannot be reserved keywords, should not start with a numeral, must begin with a letter or underscore, and are case-sensitive.
Operators: JavaScript supports a variety of operators to perform operations on operands:
Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, ++, –. The addition operator + can also be used for string concatenation.
Miscellaneous Operators:Conditional Operator (? ЁЯЩВ: A ternary operator for conditional expressions.
typeof Operator: A unary operator that returns a string indicating the data type of an operand.
Syntax:
JavaScript code is typically placed within <script>…</script> tags in an HTML document.
These <script> tags can be located in the <head> or <body> sections of the HTML. JavaScript can also be included from external .js files using the src attribute of the <script> tag.
Whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) is generally ignored, allowing for code formatting to enhance readability.
Semicolons at the end of simple statements are optional if each statement is on a new line, but using them is considered good practice.
JavaScript is case-sensitive.
Comments can be added using // for single-line comments and /* … */ for multi-line comments. It also recognizes <!– as a single-line HTML comment, and //–> is used to close JavaScript within HTML comments for compatibility with older browsers.
These features collectively define the fundamental characteristics and capabilities of the JavaScript language as outlined in the initial sections of the provided tutorial.
JavaScript Core Concepts
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf” and our conversation history, here’s a discussion of the core concepts of JavaScript:
What JavaScript Is: At its core, JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It’s also described as a dynamic computer programming language. Its primary design purpose is for creating network-centric applications, and it is most commonly used as a part of web pages. This allows for client-side scripting, enabling web pages to interact with the user and become dynamic. JavaScript is considered complementary to and integrated with both Java and HTML. Its integration with HTML makes it very easy to implement. Furthermore, it’s an open and cross-platform language. The general-purpose core of JavaScript has been embedded in various web browsers.
Client-Side Focus:Client-side JavaScript is the most prevalent form of the language. For JavaScript code to be interpreted and executed by the browser, it needs to be included in or referenced by an HTML document. This client-side mechanism provides significant advantages, such as less server interaction (by validating user input before submission) and immediate feedback to visitors (without requiring a page reload). It also enables increased interactivity and richer interfaces on web pages.
Basic Syntax: JavaScript code is typically placed within <script>…</script> HTML tags. These tags alert the browser to interpret the enclosed text as a script. The <script> tag can have attributes like language (though this is being phased out) and type, with the recommended type being “text/javascript”.
Key aspects of JavaScript syntax include:
Whitespace and Line Breaks: JavaScript generally ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines, allowing for flexible code formatting to improve readability.
Semicolons: While semicolons are optional if each statement is on a new line, it is considered good programming practice to use them. They are mandatory when multiple statements are on a single line.
Case Sensitivity: JavaScript is case-sensitive, meaning that keywords, variables, function names, and other identifiers must have consistent capitalization (e.g., Time and TIME are different).
Comments: JavaScript supports both C-style (/* … */ for multi-line and // for single-line) and recognizes the HTML comment opening (<!– as a single-line comment) and closing (//–>) sequences.
Variables and Data Types: JavaScript uses variables as named containers to store data. Before using a variable, it must be declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var. Initialization is the process of assigning a value to a variable, which can happen at declaration or later.
JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a single variable can hold values of different data types during its lifetime. It supports several primitive data types:
Numbers: All numbers are treated as floating-point values using the 64-bit IEEE 754 standard.
Strings: Represent sequences of text (e.g., “Hello”).
Boolean: Represents logical values (true or false).
Null: A trivial type with only one value: null.
Undefined: Another trivial type with only one value: undefined.
In addition to these, JavaScript has a composite data type called object. Variables have scope, which can be global (accessible anywhere) or local (accessible only within a function).
Operators: JavaScript provides various operators to perform operations on values (operands):
Comparison Operators: Compare two operands and return a boolean value (== equal, != not equal, > greater than, < less than, >= greater than or equal to, <= less than or equal to).
Bitwise Operators: Operate on the binary representation of integers (& AND, | OR, ^ XOR, ~ NOT, << left shift, >> right shift, >>> unsigned right shift).
Assignment Operators: Assign values to variables (= simple assignment, += add and assign, -= subtract and assign, *= multiply and assign, /= divide and assign, %= modulus and assign, and similar for bitwise operators).
Miscellaneous Operators: Include the conditional (ternary) operator (? ЁЯЩВ for concise conditional expressions and the typeof operator to determine the data type of a variable.
Placement in HTML: JavaScript code can be included in an HTML document in several ways:
Directly within the <head>…</head> section, often used for scripts that run on events or utility functions.
Directly within the <body>…</body> section, typically for scripts that generate content as the page loads.
In both the <head> and <body> sections.
In an external .js file, which is then linked into the HTML using the src attribute of the <script> tag in the <head>. This promotes code reusability across multiple HTML pages.
Understanding these core concepts provides a foundational understanding of how JavaScript functions and its role in web development as described in the sources.
JavaScript’s Web Integration: Core Concepts
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf” and our conversation history, JavaScript’s integration with the web is a fundamental aspect of its design and usage. Here’s a discussion of this web integration:
Core Role in Web Pages: JavaScript is most commonly used as a part of web pages. Its implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user and make dynamic pages. This is a primary reason for JavaScript’s existence and widespread adoption.
Client-Side Scripting: JavaScript is fundamentally a client-side scripting language. This means that the JavaScript code is typically embedded in or referenced by an HTML document and is then interpreted and executed by the user’s web browser. This client-side execution enables interactivity and dynamic content generation directly within the browser.
Complementary to and Integrated with HTML: The tutorial emphasizes that JavaScript is complementary to and integrated with HTML. In fact, it is considered very easy to implement because it is integrated with HTML. This close relationship means that JavaScript code works within the structure and content defined by HTML.
Inclusion in HTML using <script> Tags: JavaScript code is embedded within HTML documents using the <script>…</script> tags. These tags serve as containers for JavaScript code and instruct the browser to interpret the content between them as a script. The <script> tag can take attributes such as language (typically “javascript”, though being phased out) and type (recommended to be “text/javascript”).
Placement of <script> Tags: The tutorial details various ways to place <script> tags within an HTML document:
<head>…</head> Section: Placing scripts in the <head> section is often done for scripts that need to run on specific events or for utility functions that might be used throughout the page.
<body>…</body> Section: If a script needs to run as the page loads and generate content directly into the page, it is typically placed in the <body> section.
Both <head> and <body> Sections: It is possible to include JavaScript in both sections of an HTML document.
External File: For larger projects and reusability, JavaScript code can be stored in external files with the .js extension and then included in HTML files using the src attribute of the <script> tag, usually placed in the <head>. This allows for maintaining identical code across multiple pages.
Dynamic Content and User Interaction: By being integrated into web pages, JavaScript enables them to be dynamic. It can interact with the user, respond to their actions (like button clicks or mouse hovers), control the browser, and dynamically create HTML content. For example, JavaScript can be used to validate form input before submitting it to the server.
Event Handling: JavaScript can “trap user-initiated events” such as button clicks and link navigation, allowing developers to execute specific code in response to these interactions. The tutorial later introduces the concept of “Events” and specific event types like onclick, onsubmit, and onmouseover/onmouseout, further illustrating this interaction.
Basic Output and DOM Manipulation (Implicit): While the Document Object Model (DOM) is formally introduced later in the tutorial, the early examples using document.write() demonstrate a basic level of interaction with the HTML document to output content. This is a fundamental aspect of JavaScript’s web integration тАУ its ability to manipulate the structure and content of the web page.
Handling Browsers Without JavaScript: Recognizing that some browsers might not support JavaScript or have it disabled, the tutorial mentions the <noscript> tags. Content within these tags is displayed to users if their browser does not support JavaScript or if JavaScript is not enabled, allowing for a fallback mechanism or a warning message.
In summary, JavaScript’s web integration is characterized by its role as a client-side scripting language deeply intertwined with HTML, enabling dynamic behavior, user interaction, and content manipulation within web browsers. The <script> tag and its various placement options are key mechanisms for incorporating JavaScript into web pages, with external files promoting code organization and reusability.
JavaScript Development Tools: Simplicity and Enhanced Editors
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf”, here’s a discussion of JavaScript development tools:
The tutorial points out that one of the significant advantages of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive development tools. You can begin writing JavaScript code with a simple text editor such as Notepad. Since JavaScript is an interpreted language within the context of a web browser, you don’t even need to buy a compiler.
However, the tutorial also mentions that various vendors have created nice JavaScript editing tools to make development simpler. Some of these tools listed in the source are:
Microsoft FrontPage: Described as a popular HTML editor that also provides web developers with JavaScript tools to assist in creating interactive websites.
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Identified as a very popular HTML and JavaScript editor among professional web developers. It offers prebuilt JavaScript components, integrates well with databases, and conforms to new standards like XHTML and XML.
Macromedia HomeSite 5: Presented as a well-liked HTML and JavaScript editor from Macromedia, suitable for effectively managing personal websites.
In summary, the tutorial highlights that basic JavaScript development can start with a simple text editor and a web browser. For more enhanced development experiences, dedicated HTML and JavaScript editors like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5 are available, offering features that can simplify the process of building interactive websites. Our previous conversations have focused on the core concepts and web integration of JavaScript and did not delve into specific development tools beyond what is mentioned in this source.

Quiz Answer Key
In Windows 11, the Start button is located in the center of the taskbar. Clicking it opens a menu displaying pinned applications at the top and recommended recent files, folders, and newly installed apps below.
“Pinned apps” are applications that have been manually placed in the Start menu for easy access. “Recommended” shows recently opened files, folders, and recently installed applications. You can manage pinned apps by right-clicking on an app icon in the Start menu and selecting “Pin to Start” or “Unpin from Start.”
You can launch an application by single-clicking its icon in the Start menu or on the taskbar. You can also launch an application by double-clicking its icon on the desktop. A key difference is that you single-click icons in the Start menu and taskbar, but double-click icons on the desktop to open them.
To shut down or restart, click the Start button, then click the power icon located at the bottom right of the Start menu. From there, you can choose “Shut down” or “Restart.” Restarting periodically is recommended to refresh the system, as programs can accumulate memory and resources over time, potentially slowing down the computer.
To pin an application to the taskbar, find the application (either in the Start menu or the “All apps” list), right-click on its icon, and select “Pin to taskbar.” To unpin an application, right-click on its icon on the taskbar and select “Unpin from taskbar.” Customizing the taskbar allows you to keep frequently used applications readily accessible.
The small upward-pointing arrow icon on the right side of the taskbar reveals a hidden area for background applications that don’t always need to be visible. Examples of applications found here include Windows Security (antivirus) and other utilities running in the background.
Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service that allows you to save files online and synchronize them across multiple devices, such as a desktop and a laptop. This ensures that changes made on one device are automatically updated on others, eliminating the need for physical storage devices for transferring files.
Clicking the network or volume icon on the right side of the taskbar opens a panel where you can adjust volume using a slider and see your network connection status. This area also provides access to other settings like airplane mode (if applicable), accessibility settings, and the Night Light feature to reduce blue light emissions.
Task View is a feature in Windows 11 that displays all currently open windows as thumbnails, allowing you to quickly switch between them. You can access it by clicking the Task View button on the taskbar (it looks like overlapping rectangles) or by pressing the Windows key + Tab. It helps manage multiple open applications by providing a visual overview.
“Cut and paste” moves an item (text, file, or folder) from its original location to a new location. The original item is removed. “Copy and paste” creates a duplicate of the item in a new location, while the original item remains in its original place. The keyboard shortcut for cut is Ctrl+X, for copy is Ctrl+C, and for paste is Ctrl+V.

Most Important Ideas and Facts
The Taskbar
The Start button has moved from the far left to the center of the Taskbar.
“start button on all other versions of Windows prior to Windows 11 was always on the far left right now the far left is taken up by this little widget area all right but start button right here”
Clicking the Start button reveals pinned apps (default and user-defined) and recommended items (recent files, folders, and newly installed apps).
“when you click on your start button you get a view of a bunch of pinned apps which means uh just things that have been set into the uh default start area here right in front of you”
“underneath recommended you’re going to see uh recent files and folders that you’ve opened”
An All apps button in the top right of the Start Menu provides a full list of installed applications, accessible alphabetically with a jump-to-letter feature.
“if you want to see all your apps you have to go to this little button right here in the top right hand corner and when you click there you get the full list of installed apps and all their little icons”
Users can pin and unpin applications to both the Start Menu and the Taskbar for quick access.
“you can right click on it and say pin to start or if it’s already in start uh unpin from start”
“we could rightclick and we can say pin to taskar so so just as you can pin things into the start area you can pin and unpin things from the taskbar itself”
Single-clicking icons on the Taskbar or within the Start Menu opens applications, unlike the double-clicking required for desktop icons.
“double click on it from the desktop single click from start and single click when you’re looking at uh clicking on an icon in the taskbar”
The Power button is located within the Start Menu, offering options for shutdown, restart, and sleep. Shutdown is recommended over sleep for better system stability.
“when you’re done with Windows for the day you can click on the start button click on this little power icon and then click shut down I recommend shutting down over sleep”
Restarting the computer regularly (ideally daily or at least weekly) is important for releasing memory and resources, preventing system sluggishness.
“you shouldn’t let a computer run say for 30 days without restarting it because what happens is programs take up bits of memory and resources and they don’t always release them”
The right side of the Taskbar includes a hidden icons area (accessed via an upward arrow) for background applications like Windows Security.
“if you click on that and you may not have one depending on how many icons you have at play but uh what this is is like an area where they hide icons that are just for things that are just running in the background”
Visible icons on the right Taskbar provide access to features like OneDrive, language settings, network status, and volume control. Clicking the network or volume icon opens a quick settings panel.
“things that aren’t in this little hidden menu are the more visible icons that we see to the left of the uh time and here so uh one of these is Microsoft One Drive… and here is our little language area… and then we have our little Network icon… so the next one over is volume”
The notification area (bell icon) displays system notifications. Users should be cautious of urgent-sounding notifications, especially from websites, as they could be scams.
“right next to that we have a little notification area that little bell here… notifications do pop up just like this in the lower right hand corner… be careful because uh people can also get uh notifications from websites and other third parties… be wary of scams and stuff right”
The Desktop
The area above the Taskbar is called the desktop, featuring a customizable wallpaper and icons for software and utilities.
Taskbar Settings
Right-clicking the Taskbar and selecting Taskbar settings allows customization of Taskbar elements and behaviors.
Users can hide or change the appearance of the search bar, widgets, and the Task View button.
The Taskbar alignment can be changed to move the Start button back to the left.
“come down to the bottom here where it says taskbar behaviors right and click the little arrow pointing down there and then it has taskar alignment and you can choose to place the start button back on the left where your brain expects it to be”
The setting “Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels” controls how multiple windows of the same application are displayed on the Taskbar. “Never” will show each window separately with its label.
“where it says combine taskbar buttons and hide labels right so generally by default it’s on to always do that… if we switch this to uh never for example now instead of that layered File Explorer icon… now it actually shows me that I’m in pictures music and desktop”
Desktop Icons
Right-clicking a desktop icon provides a context menu with options like cut, copy, rename (represented by an icon), share, and delete.
Deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin and can be restored.
Internet Access with Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser in Windows 11.
The first-time setup of Edge involves several prompts regarding data syncing, tracking, and theme selection. Beginners are advised to “start without your data” and decline most tracking offers to reduce complexity.
“this is the first time it’s sprun so you know welcome to Microsoft Edge and it’s going to ask you if you want to sign in to sync data right… but you know we’re beginners here so we’re going to say start without your data right now it’s going to ask you know you always want to have access to your recent browsing data right typically I like to say no to most of these offers”
The default homepage is Microsoft Bing. Users can navigate to other websites by typing the URL in the address bar.
Web browsing involves tabs, which can be opened using the “+” icon or by right-clicking a link and selecting “open link in new tab.” Tabs can be reordered.
The three-dot menu in Edge provides access to settings and other functionalities, including the option to hide the sidebar.
“this these three little dots here is the menu for all kinds of things right and that’s standard on Windows these days”
The default search engine used in the Edge address bar can be changed in the browser’s settings (e.g., from Bing to Google).
Windows 11 Settings
The main Windows 11 Settings app can be accessed by right-clicking the Start button and selecting “Settings.” It is organized into different categories for system configuration.
Windows Update allows users to check for and install updates for Windows and other Microsoft products. Optional updates, including driver updates, can be found in Advanced options. Restarting the computer is often required to complete updates.
“right click on the start button and then click on settings right… Windows update if you click on that you can click on check for updates”
Personalization settings enable users to change the background (picture, solid color, slideshow, Windows Spotlight), colors, and themes, including high contrast themes for accessibility.
“One you might want to jump into right away if you like things to look the way you like them to look is personalization right and here is where you can change background and colors and themes Etc”
The classic Control Panel is still accessible by searching for “control” in the Start Menu. It provides access to various system settings.
“you can click on the start button but and type in the word control and you’ll see the control panel come up as an offering”
Key Control Panel settings include:
Mouse: Adjusting double-click speed and changing the pointer size and visibility (e.g., showing pointer location with the Ctrl key).
“One thing that I like to do on every new system is click on Mouse right and then here under double click speed I pull that all the way to the left so that it’s slow… I like to go down to Windows standard extra large right”
Power Options: Configuring power plans and sleep settings.
“another feature I would point out to you uh right now is programs and features so if we click on that uh it’s going to show us a list of all the programs that are installed on the system”
Programs and Features: Managing traditionally installed software. Note that modern “apps” are often managed differently (e.g., via right-click in the Start Menu).
Devices and Printers: Accessing settings for connected devices.
Date and Time: Adjusting the system date, time, and time zone. It’s recommended to set the correct time zone first.
“often that’s wrong when you get a new computer and you’re sitting in front of it the time Zone’s wrong or the or the just the time your right time zone but the time is off by a few minutes so you can jump in here and click on change date and time… also you can change your time zone right”
Cut, Copy, and Paste
Cut (Ctrl+X): Moves selected text or files to the clipboard, removing them from the original location.
Copy (Ctrl+C): Duplicates selected text or files to the clipboard, leaving the original intact.
Paste (Ctrl+V): Inserts the content of the clipboard into the current location.
These functions work with text in applications like Notepad and with files and folders in File Explorer. Right-click menus also provide these options (often as icons in Windows 11).
“The default keys for uh those commands are it’s control X for cut… copy is contrl c for copy and then uh pasting is contrl V right”
File Explorer
File Explorer is used to manage files and folders.
The left-hand navigation pane can be resized.
It’s useful to show file name extensions in the View settings to easily identify file types.
“what I like to do is click on view View and then go to show and then choose or select file name extensions right and then uh instead of it just saying Firefox installer here now it says Firefox installer.exe”
The “Expand to open folder” option (in Options > View) makes the navigation pane on the left dynamically display the currently open folder in the file system hierarchy (though this feature has a temporary bug in a recent update).
“if we scroll down to the bottom here I choose expand to open folder”
Files and folders can be viewed in different layouts (e.g., extra large icons, details). The “Details” view is recommended as it shows name, date modified, type, and size. Columns can be clicked to sort by that attribute.
“the one I tend to like is the details view here so that gives you the name the date modified the type and the size right and you can you can click on any of these headings to sort by that bit”
Users can create new folders by right-clicking in an empty area or using the “New” button in the ribbon. Files and folders can be dragged and dropped between locations.
“make sure you’ve clicked on the right somewhere in the white space on the right hand side right right and then you can click on new up here in the upper left and choose folder”
Right-clicking is context-sensitive, offering different menus and options depending on the element clicked.
Display and Text Size
In Display settings (right-click desktop > Display settings), users can adjust the screen resolution. While the recommended resolution is usually the default, lower resolutions can make interface elements appear larger. Avoid resolutions with a vertical height below 768.
“you can click on display resolution here and choose a different resolution now the higher the highest number it tends to be the uh recommended resolution for your monitor and usually that’s going to be your default right but uh if you choose some smaller numbers uh you may find that uh everything just looks uh you know that much bigger and more visually accessible for you”
Text size can be adjusted in Accessibility settings (search “text size” in Settings). A slider allows users to increase or decrease the default text size. Be cautious of making text too large, as it may cause layout issues in some applications.
“in the uh find a setting area here just type in the word text and you’ll see text size all right click on that it’ll bring you to the accessibility Tex size area and there’s a little slider here”
This briefing document provides a foundational understanding of the Windows 11 interface and essential functions as described in the source. New users are encouraged to explore these areas further to become comfortable with the operating system.
Windows 11: Getting Started Guide
Frequently Asked Questions: Getting Started with Windows 11
1. Where is the Start Menu located in Windows 11, and how do I access my applications? In Windows 11, the Start button is located in the center of the taskbar, unlike previous versions where it was on the far left (that area is now occupied by the widgets). Clicking the Start button opens a view of pinned applications. You can navigate through multiple pages of pinned icons using the dots or arrows at the top. Below the pinned apps, you’ll find a “Recommended” section showing recent files, folders, and newly installed applications. To see a full list of all installed apps, click the “All apps” button in the top right corner of the Start Menu. Some apps may be located within folders, indicated by a yellow folder icon; click on the folder to see its contents. To quickly jump to apps starting with a specific letter, click on any letter in the app list, and it will highlight the sections of the alphabet that have content.
2. How do I pin and unpin applications to the Start Menu and Taskbar for quick access? To pin an application to the Start Menu, go to the “All apps” list (via the Start button), right-click on the desired application, and select “Pin to Start.” This will add the application’s icon to your pinned apps view in the Start Menu. To unpin an application from the Start Menu, simply right-click on its icon in the pinned apps area and select “Unpin from Start.” Similarly, you can pin applications to the Taskbar for even quicker access. From the “All apps” list or the Start Menu, right-click on an application and choose “Pin to taskbar.” To remove an application from the Taskbar, right-click on its icon on the Taskbar and select “Unpin from taskbar.”
3. What is the Taskbar, and how can I customize its appearance and behavior? The Taskbar is the bar located at the bottom of your screen in Windows 11. It contains the Start button, pinned applications, running applications (indicated by a small dot underneath their icons), widgets (on the far left), and the system tray (on the far right). You can customize the Taskbar by right-clicking on an empty area of it and selecting “Taskbar settings.” In the settings, you can toggle the visibility of search, task view, widgets, and the co-pilot (if available). Under “Taskbar behaviors,” you can change the “Taskbar alignment” to move the Start button back to the left. The “Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels” option controls how multiple windows of the same application are displayed; you can choose to always combine them (default), never combine them (showing individual icons with labels), or combine them when the taskbar is full. You can also unpin default icons you don’t use (like the Microsoft Store or Teams) by right-clicking on them and selecting “Unpin from taskbar.”
4. How do I manage running applications using the Taskbar and Task View? The Taskbar displays icons for applications that are currently running. A small underline or dot beneath an icon indicates that the application is open. Single-clicking on an icon in the Taskbar will bring that application to the forefront. Hovering your mouse over a combined application icon (if you have multiple windows of the same app open) will show you thumbnails of all the open windows, allowing you to choose the one you want. Task View, which can be enabled in the Taskbar settings, provides a visual overview of all currently open windows. Clicking the Task View button on the Taskbar (it looks like two overlapping rectangles) will display all your open windows as thumbnails, allowing you to easily switch between them by clicking on the desired window.
5. How do I shut down, restart, or put my Windows 11 computer to sleep? To shut down or restart your Windows 11 computer, click on the Start button, then click on the power icon located at the bottom right of the Start Menu. A small menu will appear with options to “Sleep,” “Shut down,” and “Restart.” It is generally recommended to shut down your computer fully rather than relying on sleep mode, as sleep can sometimes lead to issues with devices not waking up properly. Restarting your computer periodically (ideally daily or at least weekly) can help maintain system stability by clearing out used memory and resources that programs may not always release.
6. How do I connect to the internet using Microsoft Edge for the first time, and what are some basic browser navigation tips? To connect to the internet, click on the Microsoft Edge icon on the Taskbar (it’s the blue and green “e” icon). The first time you open Edge, you will be guided through a setup process. It will ask about syncing data (you can choose to “Start without your data” for a simpler initial setup), importing data from other browsers (you can skip this), and allowing Microsoft to track browsing data (you can choose “Don’t allow” for more privacy). After going through these steps and potentially selecting a theme, you will arrive at the Microsoft Bing homepage, indicating you are online. To navigate to a specific website, click in the address bar at the top and type the website’s address (e.g., google.com). You can open new tabs by clicking the “+” icon next to the existing tab. To open a link in a new tab, right-click on the link and select “Open link in new tab.” You can switch between tabs by clicking on them. To change the default search engine used in the address bar, click the three dots (…) in the top right corner of Edge, go to “Settings,” search for “address bar and search,” and then choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down menu. You can also disable the sidebar in Edge settings under the “Sidebar” section.
7. How do I manage files and folders using File Explorer in Windows 11? You can access File Explorer by clicking its icon on the Taskbar (it looks like a folder) or by searching for it in the Start Menu. In File Explorer, the left pane provides a navigation view of your folders. You can expand or collapse folders by clicking the small arrows next to them (though a recent Windows update may temporarily affect this functionality). The right pane displays the contents of the selected folder. You can change the view of files and folders (e.g., details, large icons) by clicking on the “View” tab at the top. To see file extensions (like .exe, .jpg), go to the “View” tab, click “Show,” and select “File name extensions.” To sort files and folders, click on the column headers (Name, Date modified, Type, Size). To create a new folder, navigate to the desired location, right-click in an empty area, select “New,” and then “Folder,” and give it a name. You can move or copy files and folders using cut (Ctrl+X), copy (Ctrl+C), and paste (Ctrl+V) commands, or by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate options. You can also drag and drop files and folders. Deleted items go to the Recycle Bin, from which you can restore them if needed.
8. How can I adjust display settings and text size in Windows 11 for better visual accessibility? To adjust display settings, right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select “Display settings.” Here, you can change the display resolution. If icons and text appear too small on a high-resolution monitor, try selecting a lower resolution. Be cautious not to go below 1024×768 to avoid compatibility issues with some software. Also, pay attention to the aspect ratio to ensure the display fits your monitor without black bars. To change the text size, right-click on the Start button, go to “Settings,” type “text size” in the search bar, and select “Text size.” In the “Accessibility” settings, you’ll find a slider to adjust the text size. Drag the slider to make the text larger or smaller and click “Apply.” Be mindful that making the text too large might cause layout issues in some applications. You can also adjust the mouse cursor size in the Control Panel (search for “Control Panel” in the Start Menu, go to “Mouse,” then the “Pointers” tab, and choose a larger scheme under “Scheme”). In the Control Panel’s “Ease of Access” settings (or by searching for “make the mouse easier to use”), you can also enable features like showing the location of the pointer when you press the Ctrl key.
Windows 11 Basics: A User’s Guide
Let’s discuss some Windows 11 basics based on the information in the source.
When you first encounter Windows 11, the bar at the bottom of your screen is called the taskbar. Several elements reside on the taskbar, with the most crucial being the start button, which is the four-square window icon. Unlike previous Windows versions where the start button was on the far left, in Windows 11, the far left is occupied by the widgets area, and the start button is located more towards the center.
Clicking the start button reveals a view of pinned apps, which are applications set into the default start area. You might see multiple pages of these pinned icons, indicated by dots or arrows that allow you to navigate between the pages. Below the pinned apps, you’ll find the recommended section, displaying recently opened files and folders, as well as recently installed applications.
To access all your installed apps, you need to click the button in the top right corner of the start menu. This will present a full list of apps and their icons. Some apps might be organized within folders, requiring you to click on the folder to see its contents. To quickly navigate this list, you can click on any letter, and it will highlight the sections of the alphabet that contain content.
You can customize the start menu by right-clicking on an app in the ‘all apps’ list and choosing ‘Pin to Start’. If an app is already pinned, the option will be ‘Unpin from Start’. Pinned items generally appear at the bottom of the pinned apps view. Remember that opening a program from the start menu requires a single click.
The taskbar itself also contains other icons by default. You can unpin these icons by right-clicking on them and selecting ‘Unpin from taskbar’. Similarly, you can pin applications to the taskbar by right-clicking on them in the start menu (either pinned or in the ‘all apps’ list) and choosing ‘Pin to taskbar’. Opening an application from the taskbar also requires a single click. Be mindful of this, as double-clicking can lead to opening multiple instances of the same application.
On the far right of the taskbar, you’ll typically find a small up arrow that, when clicked, reveals a hidden area for background applications’ icons, such as Windows Security (the built-in antivirus). To the left of the time, you’ll see more visible icons, which might include Microsoft OneDrive for cloud file synchronization, language settings, the network icon indicating your internet connection status, and the volume icon for adjusting the system volume. Clicking on the network or volume icon often brings up a small panel where you can manage your network connection, volume, and access other settings like Night Light.
Next to the time and date is the notification area, indicated by a little bell. Notifications from Windows and some applications will appear here and might also pop up in the lower right corner of the screen. Be cautious of notifications that create a sense of urgency, as they could be part of scams.
The area above the taskbar is the desktop, where your desktop wallpaper is displayed and where you can place icons for frequently used software, utilities, files, and folders. Opening items on the desktop typically requires a double click.
You can customize the taskbar by right-clicking on it and selecting ‘Taskbar settings’. Here, you can toggle the visibility of elements like the search bar, Co-pilot (which is in preview and might be best turned off initially), widgets, and the task view button. Task view, when enabled, allows you to see all your open windows at a glance and switch between them.
In the taskbar settings, under ‘Taskbar behaviors’, you can change the taskbar alignment to move the start button back to the left, a familiar location for users of older Windows versions. Another useful setting here is ‘Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels’. By default, Windows 11 combines multiple windows of the same application into a single icon. You can change this to ‘Never’ or ‘When taskbar is full’ to see individual icons with labels, making it easier to identify specific open windows.
On the desktop, right-clicking provides a context menu with options. In Windows 11, this menu initially shows icons for common actions like cut, copy, rename, share, and delete. If you prefer the classic right-click menu with full text options, you can often find an option like ‘Show more options’. You can rename desktop icons and delete them. Deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin, which is usually located in the top left corner of the desktop. You can restore deleted items from the Recycle Bin by right-clicking on them and choosing ‘Restore’.
To access the internet, the default browser in Windows 11 is Microsoft Edge, which is typically pinned to the taskbar. The first time you open Edge, you will be presented with several setup screens asking about data syncing, importing data, and tracking. For a basic setup, you might choose to start without your data, decline data synchronization, and opt not to allow Microsoft to track your browsing. The default homepage for Edge is usually the Microsoft Bing page. You can navigate to other websites by typing the address in the address bar at the top. You can open new tabs using the plus sign and close tabs with the ‘X’. You can also open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it. The three dots menu in Edge provides access to various settings, including the option to hide the sidebar and to change the default search engine used in the address bar (e.g., from Bing to Google).
The main Windows 11 settings can be accessed by right-clicking on the start button and selecting ‘Settings’. The settings are organized into different categories. Windows Update allows you to check for and install updates for Windows and other Microsoft products, including optional driver and Net Framework updates. It’s generally a good idea to keep your system updated. Personalization settings let you change the background wallpaper, colors, and themes, including high contrast themes for accessibility. You can choose a picture, solid color, slideshow, or Windows Spotlight as your background and adjust how the picture fits the screen.
The older Control Panel is still available in Windows 11. You can access it by clicking the start button and typing ‘control’. In the Control Panel, you can switch to a small icon view for easier navigation. Some useful settings within the Control Panel include:
Mouse: Here, you can adjust the double-click speed (slowing it down can be helpful for users who struggle with fast double-clicks) and change the pointer size and options, such as showing the pointer location when you press the Ctrl key.
Power Options: You can manage your power plans and configure when the display turns off and when the computer goes to sleep. On laptops, you’ll have separate settings for battery and plugged-in power.
Programs and Features: This lists many of the traditionally installed software programs, allowing you to uninstall them. Note that some modern apps are managed separately through the start menu.
Devices and Printers: This area, which now redirects to the modern Settings app, shows your installed printers and scanners.
Date and Time: You can adjust the system date, time, and time zone here. It’s often a good idea to set the correct time zone first.
Cut, copy, and paste are fundamental concepts in Windows for moving and duplicating text and files. You can perform these actions by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate option (icons in Windows 11’s initial right-click menu, full text options under ‘Show more options’) or by using keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), and Ctrl+V (paste). When you cut or copy an item, it is temporarily stored in the clipboard. The clipboard usually holds only the last item you cut or copied. You can use these commands with text in applications like Notepad and with files and folders in File Explorer.
File Explorer is the tool you use to manage your files and folders. You can adjust the width of the left-hand navigation pane by dragging the vertical line. By default, File Explorer shows the file type, but it’s helpful to enable file name extensions by going to View > Show > File name extensions. This will display the full file name, including extensions like ‘.exe’, ‘.jpg’, ‘.png’, making it easier to identify file types.
In File Explorer’s options (accessed via the three-dot menu > Options), under the View tab, you can select ‘Expand to open folder’. This setting, when working correctly, should cause the left-hand navigation pane to automatically expand and highlight the folder you are currently viewing, providing a clear visual representation of your location within the file system. However, the source mentions a potential bug where this might not always work as expected after a recent update.
File Explorer offers different views for your files and folders (accessed via the down arrow on the ‘View’ option), including extra large icons, large icons, small icons, list, and details. The details view, which is often preferred, shows the file name, date modified, type, and size. You can sort the files by clicking on these column headers.
The left-hand pane of File Explorer displays the folder structure. You can expand or collapse folders by clicking the arrows next to them. To organize your files, you can create new folders within existing ones by right-clicking in the right-hand pane and selecting ‘New > Folder’ or by clicking ‘New folder’ in the upper left. You can then drag and drop files into these folders to create a logical structure. You can also create new files, like text documents, by right-clicking and selecting ‘New’. The breadcrumb bar at the top of File Explorer shows your current location and allows you to navigate back up the folder hierarchy.
Right-clicking is a context-sensitive action in Windows. The menu that appears depends on what you click on. Experimenting with right-clicking on different elements like files, the taskbar, icons in the system tray, the start button, and the desktop can reveal various options and shortcuts. For example, right-clicking on the desktop allows you to access Display settings and Personalize.
In Display settings (accessed via right-click on the desktop > Display settings), you can adjust the display resolution. On high-resolution monitors, the default resolution might make icons and text appear very small. Lowering the resolution can make everything larger and more accessible. However, it’s advised not to go below a resolution of 768 in the vertical dimension to avoid compatibility issues with some software. Also, be mindful of the aspect ratio when choosing a resolution to avoid black bars on the sides of your screen.
For further visual adjustments, you can change the text size in Windows 11. To do this, search for ‘text size’ in the settings app (Windows key + I, then type ‘text size’) and go to the Accessibility > Text size area. A slider allows you to increase or decrease the text size, with a preview of how it will look. Be cautious not to make the text too large, as it might not fit properly within some application interfaces.
Windows 11 Start Button Functionality
The Start button in Windows 11 is represented by a little Four Square window icon located on the taskbar. Unlike previous versions of Windows where the Start button was always on the far left, in Windows 11, the far left of the taskbar is occupied by the widget area, and the Start button is positioned to its right.
Clicking the Start button reveals several key areas:
Pinned Apps: This is the default view upon clicking the Start button, displaying a set of applications that have been set into this area for quick access. There can be multiple pages of pinned icons, indicated by little dots at the bottom, allowing you to navigate between these pages.
Recommended: Below the pinned apps, this section displays recent files and folders that you have opened. It also shows recently installed applications, making them easier to find. For example, if you installed the Chrome browser, its icon would likely appear under “recommended”.
All Apps: In the top right-hand corner of the Start Menu, there is a button that, when clicked, displays a full list of all installed applications and their icons. Some of these apps may be organized within folders, requiring you to click on the folder to see its contents.
Alphabetical Navigation: Within the “All Apps” list, you can quickly jump to different parts of the alphabet by clicking on any letter. The letters that have associated content are displayed in a highlighted or bold manner.
Pinning and Unpinning: You can customize the pinned apps area by right-clicking on any app in the “All Apps” list and selecting “Pin to Start“. Conversely, if an app is already pinned, right-clicking on it in the Start Menu will give you the option to “Unpin from Start“. Newly pinned items generally appear at the bottom of the pinned apps list.
The Start button also provides access to the power options. By clicking the Start button, you will find a little power icon, which, when clicked, presents options to “Shut down“, “Restart“, or “Sleep” your computer. The source recommends shutting down over using sleep to avoid potential issues with the system not fully awakening. Restarting your computer regularly (e.g., daily or at least weekly) is advised to maintain system stability by releasing memory and resources that programs may hold onto.
In summary, the Start button in Windows 11 serves as a central point for accessing installed applications, recent files, and system power options. It offers a customizable view of frequently used apps through the pinning feature and allows for easy navigation through the entire list of installed software.
Windows 11 Taskbar Customization Guide
The Windows 11 taskbar offers several ways to be customized. You can access these customizations by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting “Taskbar settings”.
Here are the key areas for taskbar customization discussed in the sources:
Pinning and Unpinning Apps: You can remove default icons from the taskbar that you don’t use by right-clicking on them and selecting “Unpin from taskbar“. Conversely, you can add applications to the taskbar for quick access by clicking on the Start button, finding the desired app in the pinned apps or the “All apps” list, right-clicking on it, and selecting “Pin to taskbar“.
Managing Hidden Icons (System Tray): On the right side of the taskbar, a small up arrow may be present. Clicking this arrow reveals a hidden area for icons of applications running in the background that don’t need constant visual presence. You can interact with these background apps by clicking on their icons in this hidden menu.
Taskbar Settings: The “Taskbar settings” menu provides various options to modify the taskbar’s appearance and behavior:
Search: You can choose to hide the search bar, show only the search icon, or display the full search bar. Even if hidden, the search functionality is still accessible by clicking the Start button and typing in the search bar at the top.
Co-pilot: There is an option to turn off the Co-pilot (preview) feature.
Widgets: You can turn off the widgets that appear on the left side of the taskbar if you are not interested in seeing information like weather updates.
Task View: The Task view button can be turned on or off. When enabled, clicking it shows a list of all currently open windows, allowing you to quickly switch between them.
Taskbar Alignment: You can change the alignment of the taskbar icons and the Start button. By default, they are centered, but you can choose to align them to the left, which is where the Start button was located in older versions of Windows.
Combine Taskbar Buttons and Hide Labels: This setting controls how multiple windows from the same application are displayed on the taskbar.
The default is to “Always, hide labels“, which means multiple instances of an application are grouped under a single icon with a visual cue (like a shadow) indicating multiple windows are open. Hovering over the icon shows previews of the open windows.
You can change this to “Never“, which will display a separate icon with its label for each open window. This takes up more space on the taskbar but allows you to see immediately which windows are open.
The “When taskbar is full” option will show individual icons and labels until the taskbar runs out of space, at which point it will start combining them.
In addition to these settings, you can also directly unpin an application from the taskbar by right-clicking on its icon and selecting “Unpin from taskbar”.
Windows 11 File Explorer Management
File Explorer in Windows 11 provides various tools and features for managing your files and folders. Here’s a discussion of File Explorer management based on the information in the sources:
Accessing File Explorer: While not explicitly stated how to open File Explorer, the source demonstrates its usage by navigating to “downloads”, opening different folders, and accessing the “documents” folder. It can generally be accessed via an icon on the taskbar or through the Start Menu.
Navigating the File System:
File Explorer displays a left-hand pane that shows the folder structure.
Folders can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the arrows next to them. A downward-pointing arrow indicates an expanded folder.
Clicking on a folder in the left-hand pane displays its contents in the main right-hand pane.
The vertical line separating the left and right panes can be dragged to adjust the width and make folder names more readable.
The source mentions a feature “expand to open folder” which, when enabled in the Folder Options (accessed via the hamburger menu -> Options -> View tab), is intended to automatically expand the folder you are currently in within the left-hand navigation pane, providing a constant visual of your current location in the file system. However, the source notes a potential bug where this might not always function as expected.
Viewing Files and Folders:
File Explorer offers different ways to view the files and folders within a selected location, accessible via the View tab in the ribbon. These include:
Extra large icons, Large icons, Small icons.
List view, which shows only the file names without additional details.
Details view, which displays the name, date modified, type, and size of the files and folders. This is the preferred view according to the source.
Sorting Files and Folders:
In Details view, you can sort the displayed items by clicking on any of the column headers (Name, Date modified, Type, Size). Clicking once sorts in ascending order, and clicking again reverses the sort order. This allows you to easily organize files by name, find the most recent files, group files by type, or order them by size.
Showing File Name Extensions:
By default, Windows may hide file name extensions (e.g., .exe, .jpg, .docx). The source strongly recommends showing file name extensions for better clarity about file types. This can be enabled by going to the View tab, clicking on Show, and selecting “File name extensions“. Once enabled, the full file name, including its extension, will be visible (e.g., “Firefox installer.exe”).
Organizing Files and Folders:
You can create new folders within any location in File Explorer. To do this, right-click in an empty area in the right-hand pane and select New > Folder. You can then type a name for the new folder. Alternatively, you can click on New in the upper left corner of the File Explorer window and choose Folder.
You can create a folder structure with main folders and subfolders to better organize your files. Files can be dragged and dropped into these folders from other locations within File Explorer.
Renaming and Deleting Files and Folders:
To rename a file or folder, you can right-click on it. In Windows 11, a context menu with icons will appear. The icon that looks like a file with a pencil is for Rename. Hovering over the icons will also show their function. In older versions of Windows, selecting “Show more options” in the right-click menu would display the classic menu with the full word “Rename”. After clicking the rename option, you can type the new name and press Enter. The source demonstrates renaming an icon on the desktop, and the same principle applies within File Explorer.
To delete a file or folder, you can right-click on it and select the delete icon (which looks like a trash can) from the context menu. Again, selecting “Show more options” might show the full word “Delete” in a classic menu. Deleted files and folders are moved to the Recycle Bin.
You can restore deleted items from the Recycle Bin by opening it (usually found in the top-left corner of the desktop by default), right-clicking on the desired item, and selecting “Restore“.
Cut, Copy, and Paste:
File Explorer supports the cut, copy, and paste operations for managing files and folders.
Cut (Ctrl+X or right-click and select the scissors icon or “Cut” under “Show more options”) removes the selected item from its current location and places it on the clipboard.
Copy (Ctrl+C or right-click and select the two overlapping rectangles icon or “Copy” under “Show more options”) duplicates the selected item and places the copy on the clipboard, while the original remains in its location.
Paste (Ctrl+V or right-click in the destination location and select the clipboard icon or “Paste” under “Show more options”) inserts the item from the clipboard into the current location.
The clipboard temporarily holds only the last item that was cut or copied.
These features within File Explorer enable you to effectively navigate, organize, and manage your files and folders in Windows 11.
Windows 11: Cut, Copy, and Paste Essentials
The concepts of cut, copy, and paste are fundamental for managing information within Windows 11, whether it be text, files, or folders. These actions allow you to move or duplicate data between different locations or applications.
How Cut, Copy, and Paste Work:
Cut: The cut operation (Ctrl+X or right-click and select the scissors icon or “Cut” under “Show more options”) removes the selected item from its original location and places it temporarily on the clipboard. Think of it like physically cutting something out.
Copy: The copy operation (Ctrl+C or right-click and select the two overlapping rectangles icon or “Copy” under “Show more options”) creates a duplicate of the selected item and places this copy on the clipboard, while the original item remains in its place.
Paste: The paste operation (Ctrl+V or right-click in the destination location and select the clipboard icon or “Paste” under “Show more options”) inserts the item currently stored on the clipboard into the new location.
The Clipboard:
The clipboard is a temporary storage area in your computer’s memory. When you cut or copy an item, it is stored in the clipboard. By default, the clipboard can hold only one item at a time. If you cut or copy something new, it replaces the previous content of the clipboard. When you paste, you are inserting the last item that was cut or copied.
Using Cut, Copy, and Paste with Text:
The source demonstrates these actions within Notepad, a basic text editor.
Select the text you want to cut or copy by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.
To cut: Right-click on the selected text and choose cut (or press Ctrl+X). The text will disappear from its original location and be placed on the clipboard.
To copy: Right-click on the selected text and choose copy (or press Ctrl+C). The text will remain in its original location, and a copy will be placed on the clipboard.
To paste: Position your cursor where you want the text to appear, right-click, and choose paste (or press Ctrl+V). The text from the clipboard will be inserted at the cursor’s location.
Using Cut, Copy, and Paste with Files and Folders:
You can also use these operations to manage files and folders within File Explorer, as discussed in our previous turn.
Select the file or folder you want to cut or copy.
To cut: Right-click on the selected file or folder and choose the scissors icon (or select “Cut” under “Show more options”). The item will be removed from its current location.
To copy: Right-click on the selected file or folder and choose the two overlapping rectangles icon (or select “Copy” under “Show more options”). The original item will remain.
Navigate to the destination folder where you want to move or duplicate the item.
To paste: Right-click in an empty area within the destination folder and choose the clipboard icon (or select “Paste” under “Show more options”). The cut or copied item will now appear in the destination.
The source emphasizes that the concept of cut, copy, and paste is a fundamental skill in Windows and is consistent across various applications, including text editors, file managers, and even within applications like Microsoft Excel for manipulating cells in a spreadsheet. You can use either the right-click menus or the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) to perform these actions.
тЬФя╕П How to Use Windows 11 – Basics Tutorial for Beginners – Computer Guide for Dummies
The Original Text
welcome to Windows 11 the first thing you need to do is get oriented so what are you looking at here this bar along the bottom is called the taskbar and on the taskar there are a variety of elements uh the most important of which is this icon right here the little uh Four Square window icon and that is your start button so start button on all other versions of Windows prior to Windows 11 was always on the far left right now the far left is taken up by this little widget area all right but start button right here now when you click on your start button you get a view of a bunch of pinned apps which means uh just things that have been set into the uh default start area here right in front of you when you click on the button and if you’ll notice these two little dots there’s a couple of pages of pinned icons right so you can move between those pages by clicking on the dots or clicking on the little arrow to go to the next one so if you have a lot of pinned items you might have five pages right that kind of thing underneath recommended you’re going to see uh recent files and folders that you’ve opened right this is a new installation here so nothing’s been opened uh there’s just the get started welcome to Windows thing but uh recent files and folders and if you’ve recently installed something uh generally the icon will show up here so if you installed the Chrome browser for example you would see the Chrome uh browser icon under recommended that makes it easier to find uh you know what you’ve recently taken action on all right now if you want to see all your apps you have to go to this little button right here in the top right hand corner and when you click there you get the full list of installed apps and all their little icons now some of them like here for example you have little yellow folder symbol uh it you actually have to click on the folder and then you get uh the full set of icons in that folder right so a lot of them aren’t in folders uh but some of them are right and uh things that you should know about these little icons are that if you’re trying to search for something that’s you know way down in a further letter you don’t want to scroll scroll scroll right you can uh click on any of the letters you know here we click on G for example and it’ll show you a highlighted map of which letters have uh content right so anything in the Bold like our for example here brings us back to that folder that uh we looked at earlier uh so again any letter and you can jump anywhere in the alphabet and you know get more quickly to what you want to see the other thing is that if you have something that you uh like to run into or open up a lot uh you can right click on it and say pin to start or if it’s already in start uh unpin from start so what that means of course is that when we click on start here that was paint right so here we already have uh the paint icon but if it was out say if I unpin it here and then I go back into all apps and then click on any letter go to P there’s our paint rightclick I can pin to start and then it will show back up but generally at the bottom yeah it it’ll become the last item all right so that’s a quick view of this area for getting into programs and you just click once on any of these icons to open that actual program or app they call the maps these days uh which is different from the desktop over here if you wanted to open Firefox Firefox from the desktop you’d have to double click so double click on it from the desktop single click from start and single click when you’re looking at uh clicking on an icon in the taskbar right A lot of people get confused about that and say they’ll click twice here on Microsoft Edge and actually open two copies of it right so because they’re used to you know in older versions of Windows almost everything was double clicked open right so a lot of things now are single click so try and keep that in mind uh and that’s almost certainly what’s happening if you open two things at once when you meant to open one you’re double clicking when you should have single clicked now also in your start button is your power button so uh that’s pretty critical to know a lot of people can’t figure out immediately how to shut down their system right so when you’re done with Windows for the day you can click on the start button click on this little power icon and then click shut down I recommend shutting down over sleep uh you know generally speaking because Microsoft has never seemed to get sleep right in terms of uh you know I do it stuff right so I often have people call me up and say this isn’t working that’s not working and what’s happened is their computer’s gone to sleep but when it’s uh awakened not all of it has awakened so their say their network card didn’t wake up properly and now they can’t get online until they restart their computer computer and everything gets refreshed so and that’s another thing that you should know okay so you’ve got your little power button you know aside from shutting down restarting is often uh something that you should do particularly if you if you like to leave your computer on all the time which is something that I tend to do myself uh but you shouldn’t let a computer run say for 30 days without restarting it because what happens is programs take up pits of memory and resources and they don’t always release them and then your computer has less and less and less to work with and it’s kind of like uh you know going crazy you your your mind is getting smaller and smaller until the system starts acting really weird and uh the cure for that so often just restart your computer so I tend to restart mine at least once a day just you know as I’m leaving for lunch or something just hit the restart and then so by the time I come back it’s all up and ready to go again of course uh you don’t have to every single day I’m not saying that it’s a hard and fast rule if you’ve got a lot of things open and you you know restarting would interrupt your workflow you know let it ride but don’t let it go for more than a week uh if you want uh to keep things stable all right so that is the start button um these other icons on the taskbar here are the default ones at least for my uh region here and you can you can change these and clean these up right so for example I don’t use the Microsoft store uh very often so I would rightclick and say unpin from taskbar right and uh I don’t use Microsoft teams much so I would right click and say unpin from taskbar but if we wanted to put something on the taskbar we could click on start and see a lot of people like uh to play solitire and that would be something they’d want down there so we could rightclick and we can say pin to taskar so so just as you can pin things into the start area you can pin and unpin things from the taskbar itself so uh moving on down the line into the right hand side of the taskbar uh first thing we come across is this little up Arrow here if you click on that and you may not have one depending on how many icons you have at play but uh what this is is like an area where they hide icons that are just for things that are just running in the background that don’t necessarily always need to be visually in front of you but need to be available so for example this here is Windows security which is the built-in antivirus for Microsoft Windows so I can click on that little up arrow click on that icon and then it brings me my security add glance here right so I can expand that and uh when you have these little triangles with the exclamation point here it’s it’s giving you uh hints warnings advice that kind of thing so uh you know you can read the notices and see whether you want to act on that right I won’t go into all of the details of the security right now but what I would say is generally speaking you don’t really need to buy something like Norton Antivirus or maffy or what have you uh you know they do have the built-in Antivirus for Windows and generally speaking it it’s pretty good it’s not the best out there but uh in some ways it is just because uh you know say for example maafi is just going to keep trying to sell you more and more and more security it’s like uh you know if You’ got a a club and you need a bouncer at the door you know one bouncer is going to generally be fine right you don’t need seven bouncers they’re just going to block the door and slow things down and maybe scare away customers right so uh if that analogy works for you I don’t know but it’s kind of how I feel about you know third party companies coming in and and trying to oversell security to you right so now things that aren’t in this little hidden menu are the more visible icons that we see to the left of the uh time and here so uh one of these is Microsoft One Drive which is uh kind of like a cloud offering for sharing files and between your different systems so say if you have a laptop and you have a desktop and you have your one Drive account so you can use one drive to synchronize your documents and pictures and music and stuff between those two computers so there’s there there’s uh everything’s going to be save to the cloud and then whenever you change something it gets updated in the cloud and when you whenever you go to the other computer and turn it on it’s going to download all the changes so so that if you’re working on a book for example on your desktop you know you’ve gotten up to chapter 3 you go over to your laptop you turn it on it synchronizes you’ve got chapter 3 on your laptop without having to run around with you know a USB stick or a CD or whatever so uh you know that that’s that thing and here is our little language area so you know I’m in Canada uh the default language for PCs is the US and so I have those two languages you may have more but uh this is how You’ switch uh with your mes between languages right and then we have our little Network icon which tells us uh you know whether we’re online or offline or whatever this is a wired network uh you may have a wireless bit there but when you when you click on that you see how these two both these icons get highlighted when I click so the next one over is volume right uh so whether I click on volume or network I get this little uh area here that pops up and you know I can I can change my um volume by using this slider here and then uh you know depending on uh what kind of network you’re on if it if there if this was a Wi-Fi network for example it might have airplane mode you know or this kind of thing going on and you can change other things here like accessibility settings and you know whether you want your screen to uh I think it could cut back on Blue Light the Night Light thing right uh so that uh it doesn’t interfere with your sleep as things go later in the day you can change the way the light comes off your monitor and and make things healthier for you that kind of thing so so this is it’s kind of like another widget area you know uh but more technical than the one on the left hand side here and of course here we have our time and date and right next to that we have a little notification area that little bell here right now uh do not disturb is on um but you know if if that was on we might see a few notifications from Windows about things that have been happen happening recently Etc and notifications do pop up just like this in the lower right hand corner so if the system has something to say to you generally speaking uh something will pop up in the lower right but be careful because uh people can also get uh notifications from websites and other third parties uh generally through uh giving them permission when you’re using your browser and uh those third part parties often try to imitate your system and you know for example pretend that you’ve got a virus and that you have to take action right away and basically I’m saying be wary of scams and stuff right so so be careful uh what you click on and what you react to and you know I guess generally speaking the way scams tend to work is that uh they they give such a sense of urgency like you have to act now without thinking right and usually your system won’t treat you quite that roughly so so that’s one way to kind of tell the difference between the two so uh you know that’s a quick overview of the taskbar above the taskbar is what we just generally call the desktop right and uh this is the picture here is your desktop wallpaper right which can be changed and then of course you have all your icons on your desktop for uh different software and utilties and stuff and this whole list can change and if you’ve been working on your computer for a while it basically fill up your whole screen with these kinds of things so you get files and folders and and icons to programs and stuff so uh now if you want to do some uh tweaking of your taskbar you can right click on it and click on taskbar settings all right and the first area here let’s expand this can maximize it with that middle button so so we can quickly go over that so every window in Windows generally speaking uh there there’s going to be a few exceptions where you only see the X right but uh you’re going to have the X here which will close the window you’re going to have this icon which you can use to maximize or restore right and then you see if you hover over it you get these uh little options so if I wanted to put it on the right hand side of the screen we can do that right or um if uh you know we wanted top right corner like so all right and uh but if you just click on it once you’re going to get the maximize right which is what we were after in the first place and the one here this is just minimize so if you click on the little dashed line there it’ll shrink down just to the tab bar and you see that it has this little dott under it showing that it’s it’s running right it’s it’s open but not visible so we can click back on that to uh restore it to whatever size it was before it was minimized so anyway this is the settings for the taskbar and you can actually turn things off like so if you don’t use your search you can turn that off you can say you know hide search and it’ll disappear or if you don’t want it to be so big you can put search icon only and then you you’d have to click on the icon before you put in any search um one thing I would just tell you is that if you hide it uh you save all that space and you still have that search functionality if you click on start and you click up on the the search bar at the top you’re going to get the the same kind of uh functionality right so not necessarily necessary but uh you know we’ll put it back to the default so that things look familiar now co-pilot is is something that’s in preview uh I would just turn that off for the moment um myself because um you know I I generally don’t like to play with things that are in beta mode right um and we have other things that we can turn off like we could turn off the widgets in the left if you’re not interested in and seeing the weather and the you know currency conversion rates and stuff showing up on your computer Compu all the time and uh also there’s this little um task view button here that we can turn on and off and I’ll show you what that is so save right now we have the taskbar settings open and if I open say file explorer here now we have two different windows open if I click on task view then it shows me a list of all the windows that are open so if I had 12 things open I’d have 12 little squares here and then you can you see the little preview and then you can quickly switch between them right so I’ve pulled up my file explorer if I go back to task view here and click on settings then I bring settings to the front right so uh we’ll close file explorer here for the moment so so if you use that you could leave it on again if you don’t save a bit of room and turn it off all right and uh another thing that a lot of people really appreciate because they’re used to older versions of Windows is you know uh hide your widgets right and then come down to the bottom here where it says taskbar behaviors right and click the little arrow pointing down there and then it has taskar alignment and you can choose to place the start button back on the left where your brain expects it to be right and another thing that I would say is very useful here where it says combine taskbar buttons and hide labels right so generally by default it’s on to always do that and and what that means is that say here again if we open File Explorer I can open another File Explorer by uh right clicking and clicking on file explorer again and then I say I can do that a third time and you see we still only have the one icon although it has that little uh shadow of or visible edge of something behind it to show that there are some stacked and if you want to move between the three uh windows that you have open if you hover over that icon you see the three different uh panels that you you can just choose between them now so if you know let’s go to the desktop here and this one was on let’s go to music here and let let’s put this one to pictures right so we’re in these three different folders now if we go if we go back to our settings and we switch this to uh never for example now instead of that layered File Explorer icon which visually doesn’t give you a lot of information now it actually shows me that I’m in pictures music and desktop takes a bit more room on your taskbar but you can actually see immediately what it is and then you can just go up I want to go back to my desktop I want to go back to my pictures I want to go back to my music so that’s why I would say uh you know if you follow my personal preference either choose never or uh when taskbar is full which would mean that it’ll it’ll show you the bigger bits until you fill up the taskbar and then it’ll start layering things all right so um you know your choice I’m going to stick it back on the default uh for the the moment but uh you know if it was my system I would put put it on never right let’s close these guys off now so that’s an overview of the the uh basic visuals right now if we wanted to delete an icon or rename an icon on the desktop we would rightclick and we get this menu here and this is different than earlier versions of Windows where say uh if we had uh right clicked well actually what we would see I can show you what we would normally see if I click on show more options now I’m going to get that classic uh rightclick menu uh where I have you know rename for example is spelled out for us right but now in Windows 11 if I rightclick I get this little icon for renaming right so a lot of the basic most common functions the the the the full typed name has been replaced by these little things so here’s if you hover over it shows you what it is here’s cut right copy rename share and delete right so if I wanted to just take the x64 off of Reaper here I could delete that and hit enter it wants admin permission I’m going to say go ahead and continue so I’ve renamed that icon I can also right click cck and delete it right and then a handy thing to know is that if you delete something it’s going to go into your recycle bin right so we open up the recycle bin which by default is going to be tucked away here in the top leftand corner of your desktop we can find the file in the recycle bin right click on it and click on restore it wants to confirm that we click on continue and and there it is back on our desktop now one of the most common things that you’re going to want to do on your windows 11 PC is Jump onto the internet and to do so in the normal case you’re going to use Microsoft Edge which we have down here on the taskbar you can install Firefox or Chrome or any other browser but uh you know if you’re new to Windows you probably haven’t done that and you’re going to need to start with Microsoft Edge now the warning is is that the first time that you open Microsoft Edge Microsoft is going to hit you with a number of questions and offers and it’s going to be quite confusing just to get to the point where you’re actually online and can do something so let me walk you through that process here so we’re going to click on edge and this is the first time it’s sprun so you know welcome to Microsoft Edge and it’s going to ask you if you want to sign in to sync data right so syncing data is a kind of an advanced thing where if you have a desktop and a laptop you work computer you can sign in with your the same Microsoft account and your your settings like your favorites and you know your your site history search history that kind of thing will be synchronized across the computer so so that your experience on each computer is uh standardized and very similar right but you know we’re beginners here so we’re going to say start without your data right now it’s going to ask you know you always want to have access to your recent browsing data right typically I like to say no to most of these offers so you know the less tracking that Microsoft does or that any third party does uh you know the less your computer has to do and the less there is to go wrong and the less other people know about every little thing that you’re doing of course so I’m going to say don’t allow and confirm and continue right and then here they’re offering to import data from elsewhere again you know let’s forego the data synchronization stuff say continue without this data and then uh Microsoft wants to track everything you do so that they can see you know how you work and how other people work and then based on that information ostensibly you know make their offerings more useful and targeted to their customers again let’s reduce the complexity and the flow of data going to say don’t allow and say confirm and start browsing so you think that means start browsing but not quite yet right so here we have uh they’re offering different themes right so you know there’s different colors Etc if you’re into having you know public G browser or whatever go ahead and click on one of those but um basically I would just click finish here now we’re actually on the web all right so the the default uh homepage is uh the Microsoft Bing uh homepage right uh here they’re asking questions you can close these little popups in the right hand bottom right hand corner can be quite annoying anyway so here we go we’re online if you want to go to a particular website like for example if you want uh instead of searching the web with Bing if you want to go to Google you can click in the address bar at the top here and type in google.com or whichever oneca whichever you use and you get to that site they have their own offerings right so we can say stay signed out right there’s there’s different tabs right so here’s here’s another tab uh which is just a welcome to Microsoft Edge tab that automatically opened right we can close that by hitting the little X but if we wanted to open our own extra tab there’s there’s a little plus sign right here we can open that up and we have a whole new page so say if I went to Google on both tabs and here on this tab you know we can search for pigs and on this tab we can search for ducks all right you don’t stay signed out there ah sport Ducks I was thinking the animal but there you go so then you can move between the two tabs you can even reorder the tabs you know drag one over and and put them in order so in this way uh if you’re doing a bit of research on something and you know for example you’re looking at real estate you can open several tabs and and kind of keep track of the properties you’re interested in ETC so uh one thing also to know is that you know instead of doing a search and going through the whole trying to find a page once you open a new tab uh when you are on a tab say if we’re looking at uh the links here and you say okay well the Wikipedia article would be interesting you can right click and say open link in new tab and it’ll open in a new tab right next to the one that you’re on right and then you can keep going down and go oh National Geographic Kids has something right right click opening a new tab so now we have you know these two articles on pigs that we can refer to and of course you can you can just keep going and have a whole bunch of tabs open and uh you know be able to move freely between them all right and uh the other thing to know about Edge that would be most significant I would say is that this these three little dots here is the menu for all kinds of things right and that’s standard on Windows these days and even on the web you’ll probably have noticed that these little uh uh three dot I think they call them hamburger menus but anyway uh those are the menus that get you into all the extra functionality right so for example if we click on those dots and we click on settings we get a whole area here where we can tweak things so for example Edge has this sidebar here which uh you may just find distracting as a beginner so you could click on sidebar here and just say uncheck always show sidebar right and then voila it disappears right and say if we want to go to a particular setting we can say type in Search and it will give us the different elements that are relevant to search right and if we look for our default say address bar and search right down here near the bottom if we click on that we can say which search engines we want to use by default when we search from the address bar so right now of course on a Microsoft system it’s Microsoft Bing but we could switch that to Google right and now if we go and we just go to the address bar and we type in save horses we get a Google result right so it’s a quick way to uh enable your favorite default search engine speaking of settings if you want to jump into the settings area for Windows 11 itself right click on the start button and then click on settings right we can maximize that right we have all these different categories where we can jump in and tweak things right so for example Windows update if you click on that you can click on check for updates and windows will you know reach out to Microsoft and see what updates for Windows there happen to be uh there’s some Advanced options for that if we clicked on that uh we can click on this is usually off by default I tend to turn it on receive updates for other Microsoft products like Microsoft Office or whatever and uh also I like to be notified whenever restart is required that’s usually off I turn that on all right and uh and here’s an interesting area so uh you know if you noticed when we were on just the plain Windows update thing just says you’re up to date right but if when we go into advanced options we go down to optional updates there’s two available all right so if we click on that we get these different categories driver updates and other updates under driver updates we have a display update for this system and other under other updates we have a Net Framework update right so if you find that your system is uh acting a little unstable or if you just like to know that everything is as up to date as it can be you can pop into this area select those updates and click download and install right and once you click on that it’ll bring you back to the main Windows update uh area and you’ll see that the updates are downloading now generally speaking when uh updates are running you can go ahead and do other things you know we could close this off and just do other things well updates are running and eventually you’ll get a notification in the bottom right saying that the computer would like to restart you don’t have to restart right away uh you know if you’re writing out something a letter an email or you know reviewing do something online uh you could wait but uh ultimately you’ll want to restart to finish the update uh you saw the screen go black there that’s because one of the updates was for the display and it’s not unusual for the display to uh jump around while the video uh display driver is being updated so now those updates are complete and we can look around at some of the other offerings here uh one you might want to jump into right away if you like things to look the way you like them to look is personalization right and here is where you can change background and colors and themes Etc so if we click on background you know we have the default Windows 11 swirly here is is uh what we’ve been looking at so far uh this is a relatively nice one uh I minimize this to show you what that looks like one of the reasons I like this one is that uh it’s it’s mostly dark and the icons on the desktop that show up with their names nice and cleanly against that darker background all right uh this one looks fairly interesting as well uh it looks like colorful potato chips to me anyway so um let’s just switch back to what we’ve been looking at so that’s with the picture background but you could also just choose a solid color for for example right so uh black is the default choice for that uh which would just give us uh a nice clean black screen with that high contrast uh for icons and stuff if I don’t have a picture this is the color I would prefer on my system right and uh other than that uh it’s a bit more advanced I won’t get into it right now but you can set up a slideshow or you can uh let Microsoft put things all over your desktop by choosing Windows Spotlight all right but we’ll go back and just put it back to picture and the other thing that you should know about when you have a picture as a background is you’ve got these fill options right uh how it’s going to I should say fit options the option chosen here is fill but uh if you’re going to fill the screen then there’s going to be no uh no edges visible like like if the aspect ratio is different than your monitor uh you know whichever side needs to stretch out to fill the screen is going to stretch out and then some of the image might be cropped up if you choose fit then the whole image will fit but then you might have uh you know black or other colored bars on either side or on the top and bottom because of the different aspect ratio for the image uh versus the Monitor uh then we have stretch which would uh just stretch the image to exactly fit your monitor uh but could distort it if the aspect ratio is off uh there’s also tile so say if you had a small square image of uh you know whatever a cookie and you had uh it could tile you know so many times across and so many times up and down you’d have so many cookies right and of course we have Center which is just put it in the center of your screen at its natural size so if it’s a tiny picture you would have a tiny picture in the center of the screen if it was a huge picture of uh like a dartboard and you know you might only see the bullseye on the dartboard all right and uh we have span which I’m not sure how that differs from the others but you could always click on it and find out if you’re playing with a picture of your own on the desktop and then we also have uh different themes now here we have what they call contrast themes right and these are for those who are visually impaired or just prefer things to be uh very Stark so you know if we if we click on one of these choose one of these here’s the samples here if we choose one of these from the drop-down say Aquatic and we choose apply then you get immediately a view of how that’s going to look uh on your system right and this desert is the next one here right there’s another option we have dusk we have night sky and of course we can switch it back to none all right so uh those are what we would call accessibility themes generally speaking and then under related settings here we have themes which is uh a of more uh usual themes not so high contrast and uh I won’t preview all of those but uh there’s a bunch on offer here and you can also click on browse themes to get an even larger list now that was the new windows 11 settings area if you’re used to the old windows settings area which is the control panel that is still available so you can click on the start button but and type in the word control and you’ll see the control panel come up as an offering if you click on that your control panel will pop up and we can maximize that I like to switch from category view to the small icon view right and then in here you can play with all kinds of things right so uh one thing that I like to do on every new system is click on Mouse right and then here under double click speed I pull that all the way to the left so that it’s slow because the issue there is that uh when it’s in the middle you have to click so fast to get you know this is where you can test your double clicking is open it close it right uh you have to click so fast that uh well some people simply can’t do it right so they’ll they’ll be clicking and clicking and trying to open something like on the desktop you have to double click on an icon to open a program and uh it just won’t it won’t work for them you know nine times out of 10 or whatever but if I pull that all the way to the left suddenly you know they can click click make a double click at that speed and it will work all right so fairly important U even if you don’t need it to be uh slower if you ever share your computer it’ll reduce frustration for somebody else I’m sure so uh the other bit in here is pointers uh for the mouse and you can see the size note the size of the little arrow here that I’ve been using the default size uh if we click on the drop down here I like to go down to Windows standard extra large right and then you see uh here a preview of what that’s going to give us and then this one that we’ve been using so it’s twice as big right so I can click apply and then now I have that nice large cursor or arrow and if we go to pointer options right uh we have the pointer speed that we can adjust um generally I don’t find that that needs adjusting but uh sometimes on certain systems with certain mice you know every time you move your mouse a little bit it seems to fly across the screen right if that’s happening to you you can pull that uh to the left generally I wouldn’t pull it all the way to the left because uh you know if we click apply here uh things start to go way too slow right um but uh you know adjust to your taste usually just one tick at a time uh until you fine-tune it uh the way that you want another uh nice option is to click on show location of pointer when I press the control key so uh basically that means that when you press the control key you’ll get this little blip these circles that’ll show you where your mouse is so if you have trouble finding your mouse sometimes on your screen just hit the control key and then you’ll see immediately where it has gone right um other things here I don’t tend to tweak but uh if you use the wheel on your mouse to scroll through things you can adjust how many lines it Scrolls at a time right if you find that it moves too fast you could lower that if you want it to move faster of course you could uh increase that number right and then we click okay and we have our new mouse cursor right and of course here in the uh control panel there’s all kinds of other useful options one is power options right so if we jump in there uh you know there’s generally different Power plans on your system that you can choose m’s on high performance uh at the moment if you want to tweak that or see what the settings actually are you can click on change plan settings and uh you know a typical setting here might be you know to turn off the display every 15 minutes and on high performance to never put the computer to sleep but if if you have a power saving mode it might be uh you know 20 minutes or whatever that it’s going to put the computer to sleep you don’t necessarily want that to happen if uh every time you step away you got to come back and log in and do the whole thing right so uh if you’re like me I like to have uh both of these at never and if if you know I want to save power or whatever I can put my computer to sleep and I can turn off my monitor right so you would hit save changes to save that and if you’re on a laptop you would you would see more options because there’s going to be a battery options versus um you know your plugged-in options and you can you can tweak each of those accordingly on on battery I would recommend uh having your computer go to sleep after a certain time just to conserve the battery and to keep the system from uh just running out of juice and and turning off suddenly uh without because it has no more power uh which is more dangerous and can corrupt your system all right and we can go up at the top here to the breadcrumb back to all control panel items and uh another feature I would point out to you uh right now is programs and features so if we click on that uh it’s going to show us a list of all the programs that are installed on the system now uh that that’s a bit deceptive it’s not all of them it’s all of the standard uh style programs uh that we would traditionally think of as a program uh that’s been set up on a on a system but now there’s a sort of a distinction between programs which are listed here in apps which are things that are uh just access differently by the computer and and you might see under here so for example photos here you know I could rightclick and uninstall photos here from you know the start area but photos is not listed here in in the in the program list right so say if you installed uh Norton Antivirus uh which by the way I don’t recommend Norton Antivirus so you know uh I would I would rather see you use uh something else but um as I mentioned earlier just use the Microsoft One the free one but uh that would be in this list right that’s not an app it’s actually you know full-fledged software so you may need to manage software from here and you may need to manage apps from the start menu all right and we go back to all control panel items uh other bits that would be useful to know devices and printers all right that actually brings you now into the standard settings and then you can see your printers and scanners list uh right now I don’t have any physical devices but we have the Microsoft print to PDF printer there and uh what else would be interesting here you can you know tweak your sound settings uh you can look at your system information right see what kind of computer you have what kind of processor Etc so you have access to that area quickly from here yeah and one more thing would be the date and time um often that’s wrong when you get a new computer and you’re sitting in front of it the time Zone’s wrong or the or the just the time your right time zone but the time is off by a few minutes so you can jump in here and click on change date and time you know tweak the date make sure the the years right right you know you can you can go month by month Etc here and then uh you know go into whichever uh area hour minute second right and you can use the up and down bits to to change the time or or minutes Etc and uh you can also type it in right so you can just type in the number right just cancel that because it’s correct on this system and also you can change your time zone right so um I often find that computers come set up for the wrong time zone so just choose your correct time zone from the drop- down list in fact you may want to do that first change your time zone because that if your if your time is off by you know 3 hours or whatever changing your time zone may just put it right where it needs to be uh otherwise if you’re if you’re messing with this first and then you change your time zone you’re going to have to go back and mess with this again if you know what I mean anyway we can click okay there and that’s a preview of the control panel now an important concept to understand in Windows is cut copy and paste now you can do that with text but you can also do that with files and and folders and other things so uh let me show you what I mean by that so we’re going to click on start and I’m going to type in note and so I can get notepad coming up right and uh notepad is basically a little text editor right very just text there’s no formatting or anything you can’t make things bold or Center them or whatever uh you would use wordpad for that um as a default little app on Windows but I just want to show you some things here so uh this is a sentence this is a note this is the oops and there we go okay so uh you can select things by clicking you hold down your mouse and draging right so I have selected this whole sentence now if I want to move that sentence I can rightclick and I can say cut all right and then I place my cursor wherever I want the sentence to now appear I rightclick and I choose paste so I cut it and I’ve pasted it so those words are are literally from pre-computer days when you would cut something out of a page and paste it onto another page if you’re moving paragraphs or sentences around right so uh now there’s also copy and paste right so if I select this sentence here right click and instead of choosing cut I choose copy then I can place my cursor where I want it right click and paste and now I get a copy of it right so the way that this works is that there’s there’s something called the clipboard there a little area of memory when you when you cut something it goes into the clipboard and it’s removed from where it initially was when you copy something it’s put into the clipboard but it stays where it originally was right so now it’s in the clipboard the clipboard uh unless you get a clipboard utility uh is is by default it’s just going to hold one item right so if I copy one thing and then I copy another the another thing is in the clipboard not the first thing right so so when I paste I’m only going to get the last thing that I cut or I copied right so uh keep that in mind right and uh that’s just with text right so we can close that off there and I can show you that this is also possible to do with files so if I go into downloads here I have a list of files I’m going to right click on name at the top and choose size all columns to fit so we can see all the full file names and essentially we can rightclick on a file and uh it’s a little bit different here in terms of uh the rightclick menu that comes up uh different than a notepad right so uh we have little icons for cut and copy as opposed to the words now on older versions of Windows if I click on show more options uh we had cut and copy as menu full menu items not tiny little icons uh but you know they’ve changed the default here so we’re going to rightclick and if I say cut for Chrome setup here and then if I go to my desktop on the left here so here’s my desktop if I right click and now the icon is paste right another little icon to look at you can click on that and you see that that file has been pasted into uh or onto the desktop all right so on the desktop I can right click and I can click on copy right and then say if I go to documents I can rightclick I can choose paste again and now I have a copy of chrome both on the desktop and in documents so you can do that with documents and folders as well uh and you know if you’re in like say Microsoft Excel doing a spreadsheet uh you can copy and paste or cut and paste uh cells in the in the spreadsheet right so the whole idea of cut copy and paste uh Works across all kinds of Vari of Windows and it’s an important skill to have now I’ve been right clicking to uh do the cutting copying and pasting but the default keys for uh those commands are it’s control X for cut so that means hold down your control key and you can you can just keep your finger on it right uh you keep your finger on it for 30 seconds if you like it’s not that’s the timing there isn’t critical the the the critical thing is well you have your finger on that then you tap the X like just like you would be you’re going to type in the letter X in in a letter just hold down the control key tap the X and then let go with the control key all right um so you don’t have to try and hit them both at the same time is what I’m I’m trying to say some people get that impression and and of course it doesn’t always work out and they end up hitting the X before the control and well that doesn’t work so well so hold down the control key tap the X let go of the control key that’s cut right so similar uh copy is contrl c for copy and then uh pasting is contrl V right so uh you know for example if I have now I’ve got my Chrome setup selected in documents I’m going to press controll X right and then if I go over to pictures here and I click on the right so that that’s the active window I go control+ V and then I get my Chrome setup has moved from documents to pictures right and then you know I can rightclick on that and one of the little icons is delete I can delete that and then I can also delete it from my desktop right so uh let’s have another look at the downloads here maximize this and just show you a few things about file explorer right so this is the default view here uh few things you should know is that uh if things aren’t fully readable on the left hand side this vertical line here is movable so if you hover over it in just the right spot you get this little Double Arrow you can click and you can drag to give yourself more or less room all right and then uh another thing is is that we have all of these uh files and it tells us under type what type of file it is right but um what I like to do is click on view View and then go to show and then choose or select file name extensions right and then uh instead of it just saying Firefox installer here now it says Firefox installer.exe right so that’s an executable file I don’t have to look over here to figure out what type of file it is I can see immediately by the extension and this works great for uh pictures so you’ve got a a bunch of pictures in your uh pictures folder and some of them are jpegs some of them are gifts you know some of them are pings so you got you know your jpg extension your GF and your PNG extension um you know a lot of times those things don’t matter but sometimes they really do right uh you know if you’re creating a web page and you want you know a certain kind of optimized image or whatever you know it’s important to know what the extension is so I like to turn that on another thing that I like to turn on uh is uh we go into the little hamburger menu here and we go to options right and click on The View tab if we scroll down to the bottom here I choose expand to open folder right so let me drag the by the way when you click on the title bar of of a window and drag you can move the window around all right so uh I’ve CHS an expand to open folder click okay right and then now when I’m in uh different folders it’s going to expand on the on this edge here on this left side here to show me that folder so right now I’m I’m on edge here if I double click on application to enter this folder it’s going to expand and show me that folder that I’m in so so you’ll always have a a direct visual view of where you are in the structure of your file system um on the leftand side it’ll follow your your movements on the right otherwise uh all of this would have just stayed you know tightly closed like this you’d be you know all the way down here but you wouldn’t have any view of where you were and uh it it’s often the case that when you’re when you’re in one folder then you’re um needing to see and interact with other folders so for example if I wanted to pull this file just up one level then I can see that level immediately here so uh that I find very useful and uh there’s different views here right so if you click on the little uh down arrow on the right there you know we’ve got our extra large icons all right your large icon view your small icon view all right and we got a list view which is just the file name and no no additional information right and then the one I tend to like is the details view here so that gives you the name the date modified the type and the size right and you can you can click on any of these headings to sort by that bit right so now I’ve got them sorted by size largest to smallest if I click again it’ll reverse the sort so it goes smallest to largest now I can sort by type so if you if you got various types of files in a folder and you know you’re looking specifically for a PDF it’ll put all the PDFs together and you’ll have uh you know fewer files to search through you can ignore all the non- PDFs right you can sort by date if you want to see uh what’s the most recent or what are the oldest files uh or or just looking for something in a particular date range makes it much easier to to find and then of course the uh the default sorting is by name and you can have that go um you know up the alphabet or down so another thing to know uh is that you know let let’s just stretch this out a little bit here further so on on the left here you see see this the structure and there’s the little arrows right so when the arrow is pointing down that means that that folder is expanded right if I click that down arrow it collapses the folder right if I want to expand say here the common files folder I click on that and then it shows me the files immediately uh or the folders I should say immediately um below uh there could be files but the files will never be listed on this side um this is just the folder structure right so and you can keep expanding right uh to get deeper and deeper into the folder structure uh so so that that’s how you kind of walk through it right and um another thing you should know is let’s go into documents here for example so you’ve got your documents folder you’re creating documents by default if you’re using Microsoft Word or something similar uh your documents are going to be saved in this folder right but uh you know once you get to a few hundred files uh it can get confusing just trying to find one or make sense of it all so uh the thing is to create your own folder structure right the the computer comes with a bunch of folders but you know you’re going to want to make your own so in that case we’re in documents make sure you’ve clicked on the right somewhere in the white space on the right hand side right right and then you can click on new up here in the upper left and choose folder right and then here you can say uh you know different categories right uh you know click again in the Whit space new folder right and then new folder right and then you can drag and drop your files into those folders um from from anywhere right if you have uh if you have this area expanded on the left hand side you can go into another folder and drag them from that folder into these ones right so and of course you can keep you can keep going and doing subfolders right uh and if you don’t want to click new there you can rightclick and say new folder right from in this area right and then you know right click new folder right and and so on so now we have right your uh documents repairs laundry and in this breadcrumb there’s there’s so many ways to move around here right so you you can click the little arrow between repairs and laundry and it’ll show you uh the other options right so we can click on kitchen there for example and uh now we’re in the other folder there are even some options for creating some file types when you right click so you can right click and say new text document right and then you could create a document you know relevant to your current uh folder topic right and uh even here we have similar choices in the upper left corner now I’m not sure why it’s not actually expanding here on the left the way it normally would let’s just try closing and reopening file explorer here we go into documents repairs oh it maximize it kitchen H for some reason this system is a little bit buggy yeah so I just paused recording and checked on why this might be happening and a recent update to Windows 11 has uh introduced this strange little bug so um I would I would still turn on expand to folders but it won’t necessarily always work until Microsoft fix it it uh where we should see ourselves right if we’re in documents repairs kitchen is uh you know under Drive C we got users right and uh you know under under users you’ve got different usernames depending on how your system is set up if you click on your start button you can see what your actual username is in this case someone else right so uh we click on that folder and then if we go into documents right and we’ve got repairs kitchen that’s what should have expanded right on the left hand side and for some reason won’t do it today but maybe tomorrow so I just mentioned a a little bit about right clicking so the thing about right clicking is that it’s context sensitive so it depends on what you’re clicking on uh will it depends what your menu you’re going to get right so for example if I right click on this file on the desktop you know I get these particular choices right if I right click on the taskbar I get these particular choices you know if I right click on the one drive icon here in uh the system tray you know I get a whole other uh bunch of options right for example I can quit one drive and uh right clicking which we’ve already done on the start button gives us a bunch of uh options quick access to Common tasks in Windows right so um just keep in mind that if you’re not sure what to do in Windows just try right clicking wherever you are so here I’ve right clicked on the desktop you know I could go into display settings or personalize and tweak things there um in fact let’s jump into display settings because I will show you something that uh will help a lot of you if you have a monitor uh high resolution monitor on a new computer uh the icons are going to seem uh very small con compared to you know older uh let’s call uh classic monitors right and uh that that might be too small for your comfort right so you can click on display resolution here and choose a different resolution now the higher the highest number it tends to be the uh recommended resolution for your monitor and usually that’s going to be your default right but uh if you choose some smaller numbers uh you may find that uh everything just looks uh you know that much bigger and more visually accessible for you so a couple of notes about that um don’t choose any numbers below uh 7 68 uh just because anything smaller than that uh a lot of software just won’t fit right so you’ll open up a window it’ll have a bunch of settings and everything there’ll be a save button at the bottom but because the window is taller than your 768 uh you can’t even see the save button you can’t click on it you don’t know it’s there and you’re stuck right so that would be the very lowest uh that you would want to go and um otherwise the other thing to look out for is the aspect ratio right so if you have a a very uh say a widescreen monitor um you you don’t want uh the number pairings that are more square right because then you’re going to have uh you know those black bars on the left and right hand side of your monitor uh where you know your your monitor is just not being used so um play around with the different settings and find one where the icon look a good size but the uh background of your desktop fits completely on the monitor all right um and other than that I think I can show you how to change the text size on your system which is also something that can help for visuals so to do that let’s start from scratch here we’re going to close that window there we’re going to right click then click on settings right click on the start button of course and then in the uh find a setting area here just type in the word text and you’ll see text size all right click on that it’ll bring you to the accessibility Tex size area and there’s a little slider here right this is a preview of how things are so this is the default a on this computer and we can pull that uh until things get uh very large right so um now a warning would be if you make them if you pull it all the way to the right uh you’ll find that on in some software the text is so big it no longer fits in the space allotted to it in the software so things are going to either overlap or or be cut off right so uh you want to find some nice median uh compromise so that you know you’ve got the bigger text but it’s not too big uh what that means for you on your system will differ so you can play around with it but you know you could start by just pulling this into the middle for example and hitting apply note the size of the options here on the left when I hit apply and see how much bigger they are right so uh for those of you with limited Vision uh or just don’t like squinting you have you have the option to play around with the size of your text let’s close that off and we’ll close off this video just if you have any questions comments Etc um put them in the comment section below

Holistic Approach: Pakistan is taking a holistic approach to fighting terrorism, using military, political, administrative, and reconstruction elements.

US and Pakistan Presidents on Kashmir and Palestine
The US and Pakistani presidents have discussed the issues of Kashmir and Palestine, agreeing that leadership from involved nations is key to resolving these conflicts.
Key points from the discussion include:
Kashmir:President Bush was encouraged by President Musharraf’s meetings with the Indian Prime Minister, indicating a desire at the leadership level to solve this long-standing problem.
The US is willing to assist but cannot force nations to reach an agreement. Lasting agreements occur when leaders decide to put the past behind them and move forward.
The US can help create conditions for peace, lay out a vision, talk to world leaders, and provide aid to help institutional building so that democracy can flourish.
President Bush asked both leaders what the United States could do to facilitate an agreement.
Palestine:President Musharraf emphasized the need to resolve the Palestinian dispute, calling it the core of all problems, even terrorism and extremism.
President Bush expressed his desire and will to resolve the Palestinian dispute.
President Bush is the first president to have articulated a two-state solution, believing a Palestinian state as a democracy living side by side with Israel will yield peace.
For peace to occur and for a Palestinian state to exist, people have to recognize Israel’s right to exist.

with each other and people who share the common desire for people to live in security and peace welcome miss Miller go andreen I would like to first of all express my gratitude and also on behalf of my entire delegation for the warmth and hospitality that we have received and many courtesies that we are being extended to us since our arrival in the United States I had an excellent meeting with President Bush we first of all reinforced our trust and confidence in each other I trust President Bush and I have total confidence in him that he desires well for Pakistan and for our region and I trust him also that he’s trying to do his best for bringing peace to the world and I trust him also that he’s trying to resolve the core issue of the Palestinian dispute we discussed the entire gambit of relations bilaterally between United States and Pakistan and also in our region and on international issues bilaterally we reinforced our desire to have this relationship on a long-term basis broad-based and a strategic relationship when we are talking of broad-based whatever the president has said it involves all aspects which we discussed it has its political and diplomatic aspects which we reinforced and then our desire to fight terrorism and succeed against terrorism other than that issue in the social sector on the economy how whatever assistance is being given to us whatever assistance we require our requests on that especially in the field of Trade and Investment which are the main areas which we require assistance in otherwise on a broad-based level assistance in the education and health sector on the defense side the f16 deals all this was discussed on the regional issues on the international plane we did discuss the core issue of the Palestinian dispute which needs to be resolved and being at the core and I am extremely glad that the president has a desire and a will to resolve this Palestinian dispute I wish him very well because that lies at the heart of all problems even at the heart of terrorism and extremism on the regional side in our region we also discussed the reproach going on between Pakistan and India and I proudly told the president that we had I had an excellent meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Havana and it was a step forward towards resolution of disputes between India and Pakistan I did tell him on the way forward that we are moving on the Kashmiri dispute special coming on the other side we had any in-depth discussion on what is happening in Afghanistan and our tribal agency they are I explained to him whatever we are doing in the form of the peace treaty that we have just signed through a grand Georgia which is an assembly of elders this treaty is not to deal with the Taliban it is actually to fight the Taliban the misperception in the media I did clarify to the president and may I very briefly say and what I explained to the president that this is a holistic approach that we are taking to fighting terrorism in Pakistan in the tribal agency tribal agencies of Pakistan this is a political side of the holistic strategy the holistic strategy being the military arm being used a political element and administrative element and a reconstruction element so we want to move on all these aspects forward confining myself to this deal this deal is not at all with the Taliban as I said this is against the Taliban actually this deal is with the tribal elders of North Waziristan agency and the deal has three bottom lines which we fix for ourselves and this is very important which I explained to the peloton number one there will be no al-qaeda activity in our tribal agencies or across the border in Afghanistan there will be no Taliban activity in our tribal agencies or across in Afghanistan there will be no Taliban ization which is a obscurantist thoughts or way of life Nothe liberalization so all these three have been agreed by the tribal elders who signed that deal and when they sign the deal they are honorbound and they have a very strict on a code to not only abide by it but also that whoever violates it they move against them so this is in brief the deal which I explained to the president and I I know that he is satisfied with that deal and maybe this shows the light or the way forward for bringing peace to the region so this is what we discussed holistically that I would like to conclude by saying we have we had a total understanding of views between President Bush and myself and as I said we reinforced our trust and confidence in either in each other thank you very much that you have two questions have pasted them after 9/11 would the United States have actually attacked Pakistan if President Musharraf had not agreed to cooperate with the war on terrorism he says that the United States was threatening to bomb his country back into the Stone Age and President Musharraf would Pakistan have given up its backing of the Taliban if this threat had not come from Armitage first let me let me let me that he’s asking about the our mother’s thing I am you know the first I heard of this is when I read it in the newspaper today III you know I was I guess I was taken aback by the harshness of the of the words all I can say is is that shortly after 9/11 secretary Colin Powell came in and said President Musharraf understands the stakes and he wants to join and help route out an enemy that has come and it killed 3,000 of our citizens matter of fact my recollection was that one of the first leaders to step up and say that the stakes have changed that attack on America that killed 3,000 the citizens needs to be dealt with firmly was the President and if I’m not mistaken : told us that if not the night of September the 11th shortly thereafter now I need to make sure I get my facts straight but it was soon I don’t know of any conversation that was reported in the newspaper like I just don’t know about it I would like to I’m launching my book on the 25th and I am honorbound to Simon & Schuster not to comment on the book before that Dave in other words by the book is what he’s saying my question is about the US president yes excellency president musharraf has issued a call for building bridges and promoting interfaith harmony between the west and the Islamic world which is in the upheaval and in complete turmoil so your comments of Islamic fascist and then the comments of the Pope and in flipped and inflammation Islamic world and my question is that would you take the leading role along with President Musharraf to build these bridges and promote interfaith harmony to avert any wrong notion of clash of civilizations I appreciate the president’s leadership in promoting harmony there is unbelievable propaganda in the Middle East these days that try to inflame passion the the propagandists are attempting to create conditions where terror is justified and so at my speech at the United Nations I stood up and said loud and clear America respects Islam and we do we don’t respect people who kill in the name of Islam to achieve political objectives like the terrorists whose matter of fact I these extremists exploit propaganda in order justify their behavior all of us need to step up and talk about a world in which we respect each other’s religions matter of fact is very important for Muslims around the world to know there’s a lot of Muslims living at peace here in the United States they are proud Americans and they’re equal to me as a citizen we respect their religions I repeat to you however that the free world in the moderate world must stand up to these extremists and not let them spread their hateful propaganda now let them try to incite the incite people to acts of violence because these extremists are not only against Western people they’re also against moderate people and the president’s reaching out to help understand the world understand that the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion is very important and we can help and we will help one way we can help is to is to work with the Palestinians and the Israelis to achieve peace I’m the first president ever to have articulated a two-state solution I believe a Palestinian state as a democracy living side by side with Israel will yield the peace what’s important is for people to understand that in order to have that peace in that Palestinian state people have got to recognize Israel’s right to exist in order for this to happen you can’t ask people to negotiate with people who say you shouldn’t exist we will continue to give aid to people who suffer we didn’t ask the question whether you know what was the nature of the religion of the people who suffered in Pakistan when we spent a half a billion dollars to help this president we said they’re suffering and we want to help and so we will continue to outreach it’s important however for people in the Middle East to reject the extremist propaganda that is spreading in many cases absolute lies about the intentions of the United States they’d love to say this is a war against Islam I can’t think of anything more false these are moderate reasonable people who reject extremism in order for there to be peace so I work hard to do my part thank you for that question Steve thank you sir there’s been a back-and-forth this week over whether the US needs permission to strike inside Pakistan if Osama bin Laden is located could each of you give your position on that and you did you are you satisfied with his assurances on the tribal deal well first of all I appreciate the briefing on the tribal deal when the president looks him in the eye and says the tribal deal is intended to reject the Taliban ization of the people and that there won’t be a Taliban and won’t be al Qaeda I believe you know I mean it that this is a person with whom I’ve now had close working relationships for five and a half years and when he says if we find or when we find Osama bin Laden he will be brought to justice I believe in and we’ll let the tactic speak for themselves after it happens we’re on the hunt together it’s in the president’s interest that al Qaeda be brought to justice and it’s in our interest and we collaborate and we strategize and we talk a lot about how best to do this all I can tell you is is that when Osama bin Laden is found he will be brought to justice and that’s what we’ve continually discussed later I think as the president said we are in the hunt together against these people now why are we bothering of how to the semantics of the tactics of how to deal with the situation you’ll deal with it we are in the hunt together you want the person if at all we confront him if at all we find out his location we are quite clear what to do so let’s not get involved in how it ought to be done by whom it ought to be done there is total coordination at the intelligence level between the two forces there is coordination at the operational level at the strategic level even at the tactical level so therefore we are working together and when the situation arises we need to take the right decision to strike that’s how I don’t want let me I what we’re thinking about anyway doing and missing may I also say that we need to have ladies and gentlemen here we have the basis of a relationship is trust and confidence if we don’t have that trust and confidence in each other and we think that we are bluffing each other I don’t think that’s a good way of moving forward anyway okay I’m sorry Zafar Jung group of the newspapers mr. president I have two-part question and first I must rejoice the remarks which you gave the outset about President Musharraf and second is mr. president in Pakistan we cherish the idea of having strategic and long partnership with United States of America but we found that there is a discriminatory regime is being forward by your great country pertaining to the fear of the nuclear technology for the peaceful purpose Pakistan leaves of energy and we have been denied of that could you insure us that this discrimination will come to an end after your disgrace waiting with President Musharraf and the second part of my question mr. president that President Musharraf has been asking resolution of the problem of Palestine and cash weed for the sustainable peace in the world especially in this part of the world are you going to contemplate are you contemplating some step to take some initiative to resolve these two problems and question for mr. president is how far free life how is a song about your relations with President Bush and the agenda the item for which you are going to take up with the president how far you have been successful in persuading thank you sir you represented the entire press corps there that’s good we talked about energy and we talked about our need to work through the recent history of that we’ve had together on dealing with proliferation matters secondly in terms of Kashmir and Palestine Kashmir issue will be solved when two leaders decide to solve it and we want to help the United States can’t force nations to to reach an agreement it’s because we want there to be an agreement lasting agreements occur when leaders of nations say let’s get the past behind us and let’s move forward I am I’m encouraged by the meetings that the president and the Prime Minister of India had it is an indication that there is desire at the leadership level to solve this long-standing problem leadership is also going to be required between Israel and Palestine we of course can help and will help but it’s important for you to understand that we cannot impose peace we can help create the conditions for peace to occur we can lay out vision we can talk to world leaders and we do we can provide aid to help institutional buildings so that a democracy can flourish but ultimately peace long standing peace depends upon the will of leaders I’m impressed by this president’s will to get something done in Kashmir he and I have talked about this issue in the past he is said he was going to reach out to the Prime Minister’s of India and he has and our hope is that this process continues forward I asked the president just like I would ask the Prime Minister of India what can we do to help what would you like the United States to do to facilitate an agreement would you like us to get out of the way would you like us not to show up would you like us to be actively involved how can we help you if you so desire achieve peace and that’s that’s the role of the United States as far as I’m concerned thank you I think the I’ve already answered we’ve had far-reaching discussion encompassing bilateral issues regional and international I think we have general consensus on all issues Thank You mr. brother good job by the board thank you thank you very much thank you all

Creator and Sustainer: Allah is identified as the creator of the heavens and the earth, providing sustenance and control over all aspects of existence. “People, worship your Lord who created you and those before you so that you can be saved from the punishment of the one who harmed you I made the ground my bed and the sky my roof And from the sky I will rain down water for you to eat…”

So you are the people of the book, you mix truth with lies why do you create mischief and why do you ignore the truth you hide it even though you know it…”
Prohibition of Taking Disbelievers as Allies: Believers are warned against taking disbelievers as close allies. “O you who believe, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth…”
7. Historical Narratives and Examples:
Adam and the Angels: The creation of Adam and the dialogue with the angels are recounted. “And it is worth remembering the time when Your Lord said to the angels that I’m going to make my deputy in the ground He said, do you see such a person in it wants to make a Naib who can spoil it and do some other things Then you keep killing and we will praise you I keep on reciting tasbih and takdees, he said I know the things that you don’t know, He taught Adam the names of all things…”
Noah’s Ark: An example is given related to those who did not heed the warning of the flood. “and the example of the people of Noah and the people of Aad and Samud and those after them was very strong, only Allah knows them well and their apostles came to them with clear signs but they did not listen…”
Abraham (Ibrahim): Abraham’s monotheism and rejection of idolatry are highlighted. “beware and that time is also worth remembering when Ibrahim said to his father Azar, Do you make idols into gods? I am watching I believe that you and your community are openly misguided and in this manner we will send Ibrahim to the skies and began to show the unknown things about the earth so that he Be among those who believe strongly…”
Moses (Musa) and the Exodus: Events related to Moses and the children of Israel are mentioned, including the appointment of a king and battles. “that I have not seen a single person who, after Moses, He said to his Prophet that you are a prophet for us Appoint a king so that we can worship Allah perform jihad in the path…”
Jesus (Isa): The miracles of Jesus and the reaction of the disbelievers are described. “And We made it clear to Isa son of Maryam Gave the signs and helped Ruhal Qudas…”“is when Allah says to Isa that O Isa son of Mary, remember my favors I did this to you and your mother When I asked Ruhal Qudsai Jibraeel about your You helped me in my lap and even though I was young I was the same used to chat with people on the phone and when I have given you the Book and the grain and the Torah, and I taught you the Bible…”
8. The Concept of Trial and Testing:
Believers will be tested in their faith. “Do you think that heaven is without trial I will enter it although Allah has already It is good for those amongst you who do Jihad I did not even know it and this is also the intention So that he may make known to those who follow the right path…”
Hardships and losses are sometimes a form of testing. “And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.”
Conclusion:

These examples serve to make abstract concepts more understandable and impactful.
Seeking Refuge in Allah from Satan
The sources indicate seeking refuge from Allah, specifically from Satan. The excerpt begins with the statement “I seek refuge from Allah, Satan The one who starts from Mardur by taking the name of Allah is great The Most Merciful is Most Merciful in every way All praise is for Allah who is the source of all creation”.
This suggests that seeking refuge in Allah is associated with the commencement of something, in this case, taking the name of Allah. It is also directly linked to seeking protection from Satan. The text immediately follows this by praising Allah as great, most merciful, and the source of all creation. This juxtaposition implies that Allah is the ultimate protector and the one to whom refuge should be sought from evil influences like Satan.
The Centrality of Praising Allah
Based on the sources, praising Allah is a central theme. The excerpt from “01.pdf” begins immediately after the statement about seeking refuge in Allah by declaring, “All praise is for Allah who is the source of all creation“.
This verse establishes that all praise is due to Allah because He is the originator and sustainer of everything that exists. The text continues to describe Allah as “The Lord is most kind and merciful“, further highlighting attributes that warrant praise.
The overall tone of the initial verses emphasizes Allah’s greatness, mercy, and power, all of which serve as reasons for offering praise. By acknowledging Allah as “great The Most Merciful is Most Merciful in every way” and “the source of all creation,” the text lays the foundation for recognizing His supreme status and the appropriateness of directing all praise towards Him.
Belief in the Unseen: A Defining Trait of Believers
Based on the source “01.pdf”, belief in the unseen (Ghaib) is a fundamental characteristic of the believers. The text states, “Abstinence is a guide for those who believe in the unseen having faith and praying with respect“. This verse immediately links belief in the unseen with having faith and performing prayers respectfully, suggesting that these are interconnected aspects of piety.
The source further elaborates on what believers have faith in, mentioning “the afterlife“. This indicates that belief in a life after death is part of believing in the unseen.
The text contrasts believers with disbelievers, noting that the disbelievers “may or may not give them advice It is equivalent to not believing in Allah Their hearts and ears are sealed and their eyes are veiled”. This implies that a lack of belief in the unseen is associated with disbelief in Allah and a state of being closed off from guidance.
Furthermore, the source mentions, “These are the people who believe in the afterlife They are following the guidance given by the Almighty And the successful ones are those who are disbelievers”. This reiterates the importance of belief in the afterlife as a marker of those who follow divine guidance and are considered successful, contrasting them with disbelievers.
In summary, according to the source, belief in the unseen is a core tenet of faith, encompassing belief in things not directly perceived, such as Allah, the afterlife, and potentially other aspects of the divine realm. This belief is presented as a defining characteristic of believers and is linked to receiving guidance and achieving success, while its absence is associated with disbelief and spiritual blindness.
Guidance and Truth in the Quran
Based on the source “01.pdf” and our conversation history, guidance and truth are central concepts within the text.
Guidance (Hidayat):
The Quran is presented as a primary source of guidance. It is described as “this book means Quran Majeed There is no doubt that it is the word of Allah Abstinence is a guide for those who believe in the unseen“. This indicates that the Quran offers direction for those who have faith in what they cannot see.
Believers are identified as those who follow guidance. The text states, “These are the people who believe in the afterlife They are following the guidance given by the Almighty And the successful ones are those who are disbelievers“. This implies that adhering to divine guidance leads to success, contrasting with those who disbelieve.
Allah is the ultimate source of guidance. It is mentioned that “Allah’s Hidayat means Deen Islam is the guidance“. Furthermore, the text notes that Allah “may grant safety to those who follow His will shows the way and by his command taking them out of the darkness into the light and guides them on the right path“.
The Prophet is a vehicle for guidance, sent as “a warner and a scaremonger“. The implication is that the Prophet conveys Allah’s guidance to humanity.
Rejecting guidance leads to misguidance. The text warns, “If you abandon guidance and purchase misguidedness then do not It was not their business that gave them any profit nor did this They were guided by the example of that person is the one who lit the fire…“. This highlights the negative consequences of turning away from the provided guidance.
Truth (Haqq):
The Quran is explicitly stated to be the truth. The verse “Alif Lam Meem this book means Quran Majeed There is no doubt that it is the word of Allah” asserts its divine origin and unquestionable truth. Additionally, believers acknowledge that “It is the truth from their Lord“.
Truth should not be mixed with falsehood, nor should it be concealed. The text commands, “never associate truth with falsehood Mix it up and don’t deliberately hide the truth“. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining the purity and clarity of the truth.
Belief in the revealed books is tied to believing in the truth. It is mentioned that if one were a man of faith, they would have believed in the truth, implying that the divine books contain the truth.
The Prophet is described as having been sent with truth. This reinforces the idea that the message he conveys is rooted in truth.
Ultimately, on the Day of Judgment, only the truth will benefit. This underscores the paramount importance of adhering to and upholding the truth in this life.
Recipients of Guidance and Truth:
Believers are the primary recipients of guidance and those who recognize and accept the truth. Our previous discussion highlighted that belief in the unseen is a characteristic of these believers who are guided [see our conversation history].
Obstacles to Guidance and Truth:
Disbelief (Kufr) is a major impediment to accepting guidance and truth.
Hypocrisy is portrayed as a state where individuals claim belief but their hearts are sealed, preventing them from true guidance.
Following desires can lead people astray from the guidance and the truth revealed by Allah.
Pride and stubbornness can prevent individuals from acknowledging and submitting to the truth.
Mixing truth with falsehood and deliberately hiding the truth are actions that actively obscure guidance.
Consequences of Following Guidance and Truth:
Those who follow guidance and believe in the truth are promised success, salvation from punishment, and entrance into Paradise.
Consequences of Rejecting Guidance and Truth:
Rejecting guidance and the truth leads to misguidance, severe punishment (including the fire of hell), and failure in both this world and the hereafter.
In summary, the source emphasizes that Allah, through the Quran and His Prophet, provides guidance (Hidayat) which is synonymous with the truth (Haqq). Believers are those who accept this guidance and truth, while disbelievers and hypocrites turn away, facing negative consequences. Adhering to guidance and truth is presented as the path to success and salvation.
Disbelievers: Characteristics and Divine Punishment
Based on the source “01.pdf” and our conversation history, disbelievers (Kafirun) are a significant group whose characteristics and the punishment (Adhab) they face are discussed extensively.
Who are the Disbelievers?
Disbelievers are those who do not believe in Allah. The text equates not taking advice with “not believing in Allah”.
They deny the truth (Haqq), which includes the Quran as the word of Allah.
They do not believe in the unseen (Ghaib), including the afterlife.
They are described as having their “hearts and ears are sealed and their eyes are veiled“, making them incapable of receiving guidance.
They are those who reject the verses of Allah.
They are identified as those who do not follow Allah’s guidance (Hidayat), which is equated with Deen Islam.
They are contrasted with believers who have faith and do good deeds.
The text mentions specific groups like the Jews and Christians who may disbelieve in certain aspects of the revealed books or the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Mushrikun (polytheists) are also considered disbelievers as they associate partners with Allah.
Characteristics and Actions of Disbelievers:
They deceive the Muslims and believers but ultimately deceive only themselves without realizing it.
There is disbelief in their hearts, described as a disease that Allah makes worse, leading to sadness because of their lies.
They are accused of causing mischief in the earth but claim to be reformers.
They reject faith even when called to it, questioning the intelligence of believers.
When meeting believers, they claim to have faith, but in private, they mock them.
They abandon guidance and purchase misguidedness.
They are described as deaf, dumb, and blind to the right path.
They make partners with Allah.
They deny the Day of Judgment.
They hinder others from the path of Allah.
They kill prophets without any reason and those who order justice.
They take the verses of Allah for a small price, prioritizing worldly gains over divine guidance.
They are unjust (Zalimun) and transgressors (Mu’tadin).
They follow their own desires rather than divine commands.
They attribute lies to Allah.
Punishment for Disbelievers:
The source outlines various forms of punishment for disbelievers, both in this world and, more prominently, in the afterlife:
A great punishment (Adhabun Azeem) is prepared for them.
Their hearts and ears are sealed, and their eyes are veiled, which can be seen as a form of spiritual punishment in this life.
They experience sadness because of their lies.
They will not attain profit from abandoning guidance.
Allah laughs at the hypocrites and gives them time to indulge in mischief and rebellion.
They will be left in darkness after having seen the light.
Allah surrounds the disbelievers on every side, implying inescapable divine power.
On the Day of Judgment, Allah will decide between them regarding their disagreements.
They will face a great punishment in the end.
They will be gathered towards Hell, which is described as a bad place.
Their wealth and children will be of no use in saving them from Allah’s punishment.
They will be the fuel for hell.
There will be a severe punishment for those who deny Allah’s verses.
They will face a painful punishment.
Their deeds will be ruined in this world and the hereafter, and no one will help them.
They will be cursed by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity.
The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be given respite.
Even if they offer an earth full of gold as ransom, it will not be accepted.
They will be in the lowest level of Hell.
They will have no helpers.
They will be disgraced on the Day of Judgment.
They will be made to taste the punishment of the fire.
They will be given boiling water to drink and a painful torment in hell.
Relationship to Guidance and Truth:
The punishment for disbelievers is directly linked to their rejection of guidance (Hidayat) and truth (Haqq), as we discussed previously. Because they refuse to believe in Allah, His revealed word (the Quran), the unseen, and the guidance provided by the Prophet, they incur divine wrath and are destined for severe consequences. The acceptance of guidance and belief in the truth are presented as the means of salvation, while disbelief is the path to punishment. The sealing of their hearts and veiling of their eyes, mentioned as characteristics of disbelievers, symbolize their rejection of spiritual insight and their willful blindness to the truth, ultimately leading to their punishment.

He said you are as pure as the knowledge you have We know nothing except what has been forgiven us No, of course you are wise and intelligent then Allah ordered Adam, “Adam, you tell them the names of these things so when they When he told them their names, he said to the angels Didn’t I tell you that I He knows all the hidden things of the skies and the earth and what you reveal and what you hide I know everything you do and when we He ordered the angels to go before Adam If you prostrate yourself, they all will fall down in prostration but Satan refused and became arrogant he became a kaafir (disbeliever) and we said: O Adam, you and May your wife live in paradise and wherever she is You can eat and drink without restriction if you want, but this tree Don’t go near him, otherwise you will be among the oppressors Then the devil caught both of them under that tree and in the comfort and pleasure We got them removed from there, then we ordered I told you to go away from paradise You are the enemy of others and the land for you I will fix a place and place for a time Then Adam was given this by his Lord He learnt some Kalma and asked for forgiveness, so he I forgave his mistake, of course he is willing to forgive He is the most merciful; we said that You all get off here when you have the If you receive advice from me, then follow it to do that those who followed my instructions that they will have neither any fear nor any sorrow and those who did not accept him and Those who deny our verses will go to Hell and he will always be there O family of Yaqub, remember my favors which I made a promise to you and I will fulfill that promise Do what you promised me, I will accept that I’ll finish what I promised to you and Be afraid of me and the book that I have given to you Rasool Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Wasallam But it is your book which has been revealed, i.e. It says that the Torah is true, believe in it and Do not be the first to deny it and My verses I paid a small amount in return for the bribe That is, do not achieve worldly rewards and Be afraid of it and never associate truth with falsehood Mix it up and don’t deliberately hide the truth And pray the namaz and give zakat, and bowed down with those who bowed down before Allah what is this smart thing that you people do You tell me to do good and for yourself Although you forget the name of Allah Do you even read the book, don’t you understand?

Because people were disobedient and things went beyond limits People who were Muslims or Jews or Christian or star worshipper means a person Be a community of religion which believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment If one has faith and does righteous deeds, then such people who will get the reward of their deeds from Allah and on the Day of Judgment they will get it in some way there will be no fear of nor will they be sad and when We have made a promise to you and you will give Kohetur but he stood him up and ordered that the I have given you the book, hold it tightly stay and remember what is written in it so that Be safe from punishment, then you will be safe after that So if you turn away from it then the grace of Allah is upon you and Had it not been for his kindness you would have been in trouble you would have read it and you would have known those people very well Who among you eats fish on a weekday If you had crossed all limits in hunting then We told them to become cruel monkeys and This story was created for the people of that time and Those who were to come after them were to be taught a lesson and abstinence made it a lesson for the people and when Moses told his community that Allah He commands you to slaughter a bull He said, are you laughing at me Musa? said I seek refuge in Allah that I should become naive he said that in his Pray to God that he gives us this Moses said, “Tell me what kind of bull it is.

Later they have been changing it deliberately and this When people meet Momino they say We have accepted faith and when we are in solitude When we meet each other we say whatever Allah has revealed to you that you Because you tell them that on the Day of Judgment By reference to him your Lord I will blame you in front of your eyes, do you understand? No, don’t these people know that whatever what they hide and what they reveal Allah knows everything and some are ignorant of it. that except my desires there is no one except the book of Allah is not aware of it and he is working only on guesswork. So pity on those who take their He writes a book by hand and says that It has come from Allah so that due to Him A small price means gaining worldly bounty Whatever they do, I feel sorry for them because it is meaningless Write things down with your hand and then It is a pity that they do such things and They say that the fire of hell will last for a few days You cannot even touch them, ask them You have taken a vow to Allah that Allah will not do anything against His promise, You say such things about Allah whose to you not a Mutlu who does bad deeds and his If crime surrounds him from all sides then such people are going to hell and they will remain there forever will continue to be jealous and those who believe and do good deeds He will be the owner of Paradise and forever we will keep enjoying it and when we made it Israel was promised that no one other than Allah Do not worship anyone and do not respect your parents and with relatives and orphans and needy Keep doing good and speaking nicely to people keep saying and offering namaaz and giving zakat Except a few people, all of you are from that era you turned your face away and when we made a promise to you We took the oath that we should not kill each other and Do not drive your own people out of their homeland, then you You have agreed and you accept this fact too then you are the one who can even kill his own people and you give it to some of your own people By attacking with crime and oppression, they were forced to return to their homeland and if she is yours If they come to you as captives, then free them by paying revenge You also take it, although you have to throw it out it was haram on you what is it that you You do believe in some of the sayings of the Kitabullah And if you deny the hawk then you If any of them do such act then their punishment will be nothing else what else could be the life of the world I am disgraced and the days of communion are harsh be put into severe punishment and whatever you do You do this; Allah is not unaware of them, these are the people those who have chosen this world in exchange for the hereafter If you have bought your life then the punishment from them is lighter No other kind of help will be provided to them and We gave Moses the Book and Other prophets were sent after him one after the other. And gave open target to Isa ibn Maryam and if Ruhal Qudsai helped him then is that so that when a prophet comes to you like this You brought things which you don’t like If I wanted you would have been rebellious and a The gang is lying to Ambiya and one is lying to the gang They keep killing and they say it’s on our hearts There are no curtains but Allah has made them They have been cursed because of their disbelief, so this They believe in only a few and when Allah From here he got a book which was his It also confirms the heavenly book and it Earlier they always used to ask for fata on the infidels Then the thing which he recognized very well when his When she came closer, he turned away from her The curse of Allah is on the infidels for whatever In return he sold it on his own it is bad, that is, because of the jealousy that Allah is on whomever of the slaves he wishes his It is revealed by the grace of Allah If they disbelieve in the Book that has been revealed He became engrossed in her amazing beauty And for the unbelievers there is a humiliating punishment And when they are told that the book Allah has now revealed it, if you believe in it They say that whichever book is revealed to us first It has already happened, we believe in that only, that is, this Although they do not believe in any other book except that She is absolutely true and she is the source of his heavenly blessings. Tell them that you have a book and confirm it too that if you were a man of faith then you would have Why were the prophets killed beforehand? and Moses had open doors with you Then you bring it to their Kohetur Later, you made the calf your god and you They used to oppress in the name of justice and when we He took a firm oath from the people and Kohetur stood over you and ordered that whoever I have given you the book, hold it tightly and listen to what you are commanded Then your elders started saying that We have heard it but we do not believe it Because of their disbelief the calf entered their hearts I was composed O Prophet tell them that if If you are a believer then your faith is bad for you tells us that if the abode of the hereafter and not for the people i.e. Muslims and A secret for you in the sight of Allah If you are truthful then wish for death And because of the deeds that send their hands forward We have already said that we will never desire her and Allah is well aware of the wrongdoers and they You are more aware of the joys of life than anyone else You will see that it is even better than the mushrik Each one of them wishes that I wish he lived for a thousand years but not for so long Even if he gets age, he will have to face punishment I can’t free myself from the work they do Allah is watching them, tell them that whoever If there is an enemy of Jibraeel, he will die in anger should go because he has read this book revealed to your heart by Allah’s command which confirms the first books And there is guidance and good news for those who believe. Whoever is the devotee of Allah and His angels, and of His prophets and Jibraeel and Mikaeel If there is an enemy of then the Allah of such infidels There is an enemy and we have a solution for you The verses are said to be false and only he who denies them when these people do what bad characters do When someone made a covenant with Allah, then one of them Fareek threw it away like a thing The reality is that they are often dishonest and When they had a prophet from Allah, Jama sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam came and he Their heavenly book also confirms this So among those who were given the book A group kept the book of Allah behind their backs threw it away as if he did not know and those They started chasing after the things which were the promises of Solomon In the Sultanate Shayano Mann did not talk about Mutlur but It was the devils who believed that people could use magic They used to teach and they, i.e. Bani Israel, those things who also went after the two in the city of Babylon It was descended upon the angels Harud and Marut And they both didn’t teach anybody anything. Unless you say that we are just trying the method O people, do not fall into disbelief, Learn the thing that causes separation between husband and wife and except by the order of Allah he cannot do that Nothing can harm anyone with this thing And she used to learn some mantras which would harm her they would only deliver it and would not give any benefit and he I knew that the person who is And the buyer of the mantra etc. will be his end no part in And for which they put their lives at stake I sold it, it was bad, would it have been good They would have known this and if they had believed And if you had avoided cursing, then you would have been saved from the sight of Allah Wouldn’t it have been nice if we got a very good reward They would have known about it, O people of faith. At the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam don’t tell Rayna don’t tell her that and Listen carefully and cause pain to the infidels There is a punishment for those who disbelieve in the people of the book or the mushrik do not like the fact that upon you people towards your Lord May goodness and blessings descend from him and Allah whomsoever he loves with his mercy, especially He takes it and Allah is the possessor of great grace The verse which We abrogate or forget, If you get it done then it will be better than that or similar to that Do you not know that Do you think Allah is capable of everything I do not know whether the kingdom of the skies and the earth It belongs to Allah and nothing else except Allah You have no friends and helpers Muslims, do you want that your from the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam ask the kind of questions you asked before were made to Moses and whoever believed If he leaves it and accepts disbelief in its place, then he will surely Many people have strayed from the straight path The book wishes with all its heart that After having accepted faith, you were again made a Kafir (non-believer) Although the right over them has already been declared, You forgive and beg, even May Allah send His second command, surely Allah There is power in everything and keep praying And keep giving zakat and whatever good you do for yourself If you send him, you will find him with Allah There is no doubt that Allah blesses us with all our deeds And the Jews and Christians say that no one except Jews and Christians This is the reason for these people not going to heaven These thoughts are false, O Prophet, tell them that If you are truthful then give your reasons why yes No, the person who bows his head before Allah That is, if one has faith and he is a righteous man, then His reward is with his Lord and Such people will not get any kind of punishment on the Day of Judgment. nor would they be sad and the Jews would say that Christians are not on the path and Christians say not on the Jewish path though he I read the divine book in the same way The same thing is said by those who I don’t know that means The Mushrik are those who disagree on the matter Allah will bless him on the Day of Judgment He will decide and who is more cruel than him the name of Allah in the mosques of Allah refuse to be mentioned and Try to give these people something to feel desolation I have no right to enter these mosques but There is disgrace in the world for those who are afraid And in the end there will be a great punishment and the east and the west Everything belongs to Allah so whichever way you turn Do it there, Allah is the one who is surely Allah Sahib is in power, there is a possibility and these people are aware of this fact. I am sure that Allah does not have children Pure is whatever is in the heavens and on the earth Everything belongs to Him and everyone is obedient to Him He is the creator of the skies and the earth And when someone wants to do some work, he He commands that if it happens then it will happen goes and those who don’t know anything i.e. Mushrik (Mushrik) are those who say that Allah speaks to us Why doesn’t he do it or do we have any signs Why don’t those who came before them come in the same way? He too used to talk like this These people have similar hearts To explain to those who believe in Sahib We have explained the signs, O Prophet We tell you the good news with truth He has sent him as a warner and a scaremonger, and I do not ask you anything about Hell and the Jews will never be happy with you And neither are Christians, nor do they follow their religion Take the initiative and tell them that Allah’s Hidayat means Deen Islam is the guidance and Prophet, if you have the knowledge i.e. the Even after Allah’s arrival, their desires are not fulfilled If you walk then you will be saved from the clutches of Allah There will be no friend or helper We have given the book to the people, it He reads as he is entitled to read These are the people who have faith in him And those who don’t believe in him are the ones who will get the reward O Children of Israel, remember my favor that I did to you and that I gave you He has bestowed great favour on the people of the world and fear that day When a person is of no use to another person And neither revenge should be accepted from him nor he Recommendation of someone may give some benefit and neither may it give any benefit to the people can get any other kind of help and when Abraham’s God told him a few things I tried it and he passed them perfectly He said, I will make you the leader of the people He said that God will make me He said that you should also make a Peshwa from among your children My word and agreement are not for the oppressors and when we opened the Kaaba to the people A place has been fixed for gathering and finding peace and ordered that at the place where Ibrahim used to stand there in prayer and command Ibrahim and Ishmael Sent to those who perform Tawaf and Takaaf and those who bow down and those who prostrate keep my house clean for the people And when Ibrahim prayed: O Lord Make this place a city of peace and its residents Of those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter If you give them dry fruits to eat, then believe Allah said that whoever is a kaafir (infidel) I I will give him the same life for some time But then he has to suffer the punishment of hell I will force you and that is a bad place and when Ibrahim and Ismail, the foundation of Baitullah When we were raising our hands, prayers were recited that May our Lord accept this service from us Of course you are going to hear and know O Lord, keep us obedient to you And from among our children also a group should be accepted as our own Make us obedient to orders and our God Tell me about our ways of worship and about our condition Pay attention with mercy, you are surely the one who pays attention The one who says is merciful, O God One of these prophets among the people Keys that I read out your verses to them and teach the book and the grain and You should purify your hearts without any doubt He is Ghalib, the master of wisdom and of Ibrahim Who can change the condition of the poor, Bajaj? of those who are absolutely ignorant and We have given them I had chosen this in this world and the hereafter In the future too, he will be among the righteous when he His Lord said, my Be obedient, so he requested that I became obedient to Rabbul Alameen and This is what Ibrahim told his sons He made a will and Yaqub also told his son This is what Allah said: O my sons If I have chosen this religion for you then If you have to die then you must die as a Muslim, when Yakub If you are dying, will you be present at that time? when he asked his sons Whom will you pray after me? He said that your God and your father Grandfather of Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac We will worship the God who is the one who has faith And we are obedient to his command, this group of people Since they will be rewarded for their deeds and You will be rewarded for your deeds and the actions you perform you will not be able to investigate them and the Jews And Christians say become either a Jew or a Christian then you will be on the right path oh prophet tell them Not two but we are the religion of Ibrahim Ikhtiyar which were being done for one Allah and Muslims were not among the mushrik Say: We believe in Allah and whatever is in the Book It was revealed to us and to him who is right; And Ishmael and Ibah and Yakub and their progeny But were revealed to them and the books which were revealed to Moses and Jesus was blessed upon them and others who to the prophets from their Lord We found them and believed in all those prophets we make no distinction between any of them and we Then we are obedient to that one God If these people also believed in the same way as If you have faith then you should be guided and If he turns his face away and refuses to listen, then he against you and against them Allah is sufficient for you and He is the All-Listening He knows, say that we have followed Allah’s command I have adopted the color and from Allah Whose colour can be better and we will choose that colour tell them that they are going to pray whether you You argue with us about Allah Although He is our and your Lord and we will be rewarded according to our deeds, and You are responsible for your deeds and we are responsible for that only O Jews and Christians, they are worshippers You are convinced that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their children Were they Jews or Christians? O Prophet, tell them that Well do you know more or Allah Who is more cruel than him who sacrifices his life for the sake of Allah? which he has in the book and hide whatever you are doing This group of prophets is not unaware of this Because they will get what they did and you get what you did and what you do you will not be able to enquire about them you foolish people They will say that the tribe on which the Muslims already belong You used to come to me, now why are you turning your face away from him You say that the east and the west are all the people of Allah He belongs to whomever he wants the straight path But he drives you and in this way we have given you the Ummah I have created death in my heart so that you can be a witness against people Become another prophet and finally, sallallahu alaihi Wa Wasallam became a witness against you and on which Kabul You were there first, that’s why we decided on it It was to find out who was the successor of our Prophet Who remains submissive and who turns away and this thing i.e. Tahwil Qibla is known to the people It became clear to them, but those to whom Allah gave guidance I have forgiven them, they do not consider it a sin and Allah It’s not like your honor is lost just like that God bless you, for God is most kind to people O Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi, you are merciful Wali wasallam we are yours towards the sky we are looking at you raising your face, so we are giving you the same Face the side of the one you like If you order me to pay tax then I will tell you my face Turn your face towards the Haram Masjid i.e. the Kaaba And you people should pray wherever you are At this time, turn your face towards this mosque And those who have been given the book are very They know that this new Qibla is from their Lord they have rights from their side and the work that these people do Allah is not unaware of them and if you The People of the Book have all the signs with them Even if I come, this is not your argument and you too should follow their cause You are not the one and among these too many are the ones Kabale has no legs and if you in spite of that that you have the knowledge of Allah The order has come behind their desires If you walk, you will be among the oppressors to whom we have given the book, he is this prophet after all Jama Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Wasallam was asked in this way You recognize me the way you recognize your sons They do, but one difference among them is the truth O Prophet, you are hiding it deliberately Sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam this is the new qibla If you have the right from your Lord then You should never be among those who doubt and There is a time set for every person where When he prays, he turns his face May you gain strength in good deeds wherever you are Allah will surely bring you all together Allah is on everything and wherever you go In prayer, turn your face towards the Masjid Haram Take this without any doubt from your God you have the right and whatever you do Allah is not unaware of it and wherever you are Go out and pray facing the Haram Masjid Read and be a Muslim wherever you are This is the instruction to head towards this mosque This has been done so that people consider you as some kind of could not accuse, except those who are cruel among them If they accuse you, let them do so, so don’t be afraid of them And keep fearing me and this is also the purpose that I may bestow upon you all my blessings and this also that you walk on the path the way min We have you in all the words and blessings We have sent a messenger from among them who will tell you about our I recite the verses and purify you. They would make and teach the book i.e. Quran and Dana and tell you things that you never knew before You didn’t know me so remember me I will miss you and my Keep being grateful and don’t destroy me Believers, seek help from patience and prayer Surely, Allah is with those who are patient and those who are killed in the way of Allah In relation to this it is said that he is dead not dead but alive but to you We are not afraid and we are free from fear and hunger and wealth and Your loss of lives and fruits We will try and give patience to those who are patient Give the good news that when someone attacks those people When trouble strikes we say that we To Allah belongs all that is, and to Him shall we return These are the people who are going to leave It is God’s blessing and a special mercy and this is the right path, of course Safa and Marwa are among the signs of Allah So whoever goes to Kaaba for Hajj or Umrah There is no sin on him if both of them wandering around in the middle, but it is a noble deed And whoever does a good deed then Allah Those who obey our orders and The instructions which We have sent down to someone We hide our needs cleverly despite the fact that we my book to make people understand them I have openly stated about such people Curse Allah and all the cursers Yes, there are those who repent and their condition we correct it and we will forgive the Allah If they explain it clearly, then I will I forgive you for your mistake and I am very forgiving I am the most kind and merciful to those who disbelieve and only the infidels died, on such a person’s curse and Allah’s curse The curse of angels and humans alike They will always be trapped in this curse Neither will the punishment be lightened nor They will get some respite and people Your god is only one god, that great one There is no one to worship except the Kind and Merciful Certainly not worthy of being created by the heavens and the earth in doing and reuniting with each other night and day boats and ships coming and going behind I am in the sea for the benefit of the people and I am the one whom Allah has given from the sky it rains and makes the ground turn into a dead body After going, being alive means becoming dry Later it makes everything green and on the land kinds of animals help in spreading and the winds help in in running and in the clouds which are in the sky and the earth for the wise are surrounded by are signs of Allah’s power and the eagle People are such that they consider non-Allah as their They make partners and Allah loves them but those who are believers Allah has the most friends And O wrongdoers, if only at the time of punishment Now we will see that all kinds of power It is only for Allah and that Allah is strict The leader of disbelief is going to be punished that day will express his discomfort with his feet and Both will see the divine punishment and they will seeing this situation relations will get spoiled Those who follow will say with longing, oh if only May we be fortunate enough to go to sorrow again so that Just like they are getting fed up with us, we are getting fed up with it too You too should be fed up with them, this is how Allah rewards their deeds He will show his desire and come out of hell People will not be able to buy things which are halal in the land It is good that you eat it and do not follow the footsteps of Satan come on he is your open enemy You are forced to do only evil and shameless acts. and also says that such a reference to Allah Say things you don’t know about And when these people are told that Allah has revealed his book If you try to plead with them, they say no, we will We will advocate the same thing that we have believed in our I found my forefathers, even though their forefathers You neither understand anything nor are you on the right path Even then he will be followed by those who People are infidels, their example is like that man that gives voice to something that calls out And these deaf people can’t hear anything except sound are you dumb and blind, do you understand anything O people of faith, you cannot possess pure things We have given them to you, eat them and if If you are a servant of Allah then enjoy His blessings Be thankful, he just died for you and blood and swine’s meat and Anything on which the name of someone other than Allah is written It has become haram to be called yes, those who are compelled It may happen provided there is no disobedience to Allah do it and do not let the limit go beyond the need But there is no sin, surely Allah will forgive Allah is merciful to those who those verses and guidance from the book of He has revealed them in exchange for A small price means gaining worldly bounty They just fill their bellies with fire Allah will not bless such people on the Day of Judgment he will speak and will not purify them from their sins and there is a painful punishment for them These are the people who abandoned the guidance Leaving behind misguidedness and forgiveness, he bought the punishment How are you going to endure the pain of hell This is because Allah has given the Book of Truth and those who have read this book I disagreed with him out of stubbornness It is not only goodness that you have gone far away from the east And considering the Maghrib as the Qibla, turn your face towards it But the goodness is that people believe in Allah and Every day on the end and on the angels and on Allah Believe in the Book and the Prophets and In spite of being dear to relatives and orphans and the needy and the travelers and the beggars give it to him and spend it in freeing the neck And pray and pay zakat and take a pledge So complete it and with hardship and pain And these are the people who stood firm during the war those who are true in their faith and this is the You are Allah-fearing believers About Maktu, Kasas i.e. blood revenge The command for bloodshed is given in such a way that A free man should be killed in place of a free man and a slave should be killed in place of a slave slave for slave and woman for woman and if The murderer should be given some money from his deceased brother’s purse If the heir of the deceased is forgiven, Advocacy of the contract in the preferred manner i.e. Demand to shed blood and make the murderer happy I should pay it with your Ease for you from God And it is a kindness now that there is excess after this For him who does this is a punishment of suffering and for the people of wisdom Your life is in the hands of the order You should avoid murder, it would be your duty that when the time of death comes for any one of you If he comes and leaves some goods behind, If yes then it is for parents and relatives According to the custom, make a will to Allah This is a right on those who are afraid, then the person who If after hearing the will, he changes it The blame for changing it lies with those people Whoever changes it, Allah is all-knowing and listening Now if someone has to do something with the will favouring an heir or seeking his rights If he suspects that he will change the will If he makes peace between the heirs, then he will get some There is no sin, surely Allah is forgiving The Merciful is making fasting compulsory for you, believers Just as people before you have been burdened with their duties These were done so that you may become pious and fasting The days of the world are numbered only for a few days, so the person who If any of you is sick or travelling Complete the fasts on other days And those who have the strength to keep fast But he did not keep anyone in need in exchange for fasting Feed them and whoever wants to If one does more good, then it will be more in his favor It is good and if you understand then you should keep fast The month of fasting is better for you Ramadan is the month in which the Quran is the most important The first one was revealed who is the guide of the people and in which there are clear signs of guidance, and who can distinguish between true and false Whoever of you is present this month One should keep fasts for the whole month and If you are ill or travelling then do it on other days I will complete their count by fasting Allah wants ease for you and I do not want strictness and this is an order of ease Therefore it has been given to you to count the fasts Complete it and in return for this favor that Allah has instructed you to Remember the elders and thank them And O Prophet, when my servants ask you about me If they inquire, they will know that I am there with you when someone When the caller calls me, I answer him If I accept your prayers then they should Obey my orders and have faith in me so that Find the righteous path in the nights of fasting It is lawful for you to go to your women it’s been done it’s your dress and You are their clothing, God knows that You are betraying your rights by going to them. So he did you a favour and If I request you for your blessings, now You have the authority to converse with them and what allah has written for you That is, children, call for it from Allah and eat it. and drink even the morning’s white striped night that it began to look different from the black stripe Complete your fast till nightfall and when you If Taqaf is sitting in mosques then have a discussion with them don’t do this, these are the limits of Allah, they don’t have it This is how Allah reveals His verses to people To explain, he explains openly so that they become cautious and united with each other Don’t consume another’s property unnecessarily and don’t destroy it Take the bribe to the officer so that the people consume some part of the goods illegally Go and you know it too, O Prophets I am asking you about the new moon why does it increase or decrease tell me that it is The duration of people’s work and the time of Hajj There is a means to know and the goodness is in this not in my house in a state of ihraam come from their backside rather than neku’s He is one who is pious and keeps his house safe Enter through the doors and fear Allah So that you become successful and those who fight you You too fight them in the way of Allah But do not do excesses because Allah will punish you for excesses I do not keep friends with those who do this and they Kill wherever you find them and from where they took I have removed you from there, that is from Mecca You should also expel them and make them mislead from the religion The trouble of committing murder is greater than bloodshed and until he tells you the Masjid-e-Haram i.e. Don’t fight near the Kaaba, you should also fight there Don’t fight with them but if they fight with you then You kill them, this is the punishment for infidels then if they retreat then Allah The Forgiving, the Merciful and Keep fighting until the conflict vanishes Go and in this country only Allah’s religion is dominant Let it happen if he stops causing mischief There is no injustice against anyone except the oppressors we should worship the month of respect, the month of respect and the things of respect are opposite to each other If someone does injustice to you, then Whatever atrocities he commits on you, you will inflict the same Do that and fear Allah and know Remember that Allah is with those who fear Him and Spend your wealth in the way of Allah and Do not throw yourself into destruction and do good deeds Allah blesses those who do good And perform Hajj and Umrah for the pleasure of Allah Complete it and if you get stopped on the way So make whatever sacrifice is possible and when until the sacrifice reaches its destination Head is not shaved and if someone is sick amongst you Or if he has some kind of headache If he shaves his head, he should fast in lieu of that Either give charity or sacrifice, then when you are in trouble If you go away and become content, then whatever is within you I want to take advantage of Umrah till the time of Hajj He should make whatever sacrifice is possible and The one who does not get the sacrifice should observe three fasts I will go for Hajj and return with him, this is the whole 10 This ruling is for the person who You people do not live in Mecca and Allah Be afraid of Allah and know that Allah is strict The one who is in the month of Hajj is a punisher If you know, whoever performs Hajj in these months If she decides, then women should not do this during the days of Hajj do not disagree with anyone nor do any bad deed and Do not fight with anyone and whatever good work you do And Allah will know and the way So take your travel expenses with you because The best way is to abstain from sins and the people Keep being afraid of me, you will not know anything about it It is not a sin to go to the market during Hajj Seek livelihood from your Lord through trade and When you start returning from Arafat then Mashar Haram That is, mention Muzdalifah and like that Recite the way he taught you and And what is worse than this, you people just don’t use these methods I was aware of the place from where other people were returning You too are back from this and may Allah forgive you Ask for mercy, surely Allah is forgiving Then when all the rituals of Hajj are completed If you have completed it then you will remember Allah in Mina Remember the way you remembered your forefathers used to do it but even more than that and many people There are those who pray to Allah that O God, we have to pay the salary in this world Give it to such people and in the end they will have something there is no share and the eagles are such that they pray Oh God, please give us blessings in this world too Please grant me and grant me blessings in the end as well These are the people who should be kept safe from the punishment of hell for whom a share of their deeds i.e. Azar The righteous are ready and Allah will soon take the account and in the days of Qayam Mina which The days are numbered, remember Allah if If someone hurries and leaves in two days There is no crime in that either and whatever the matter may be There is no fault of his even after considering these things It is for the person who fears Allah and You must fear Allah and know that You will all be submitted to him and no one else This is a person whose conversation is famous in the world You find life charming and He is apologetic on the basis of his conscience, that is, on the fact that He makes Allah a witness in his heart Though he is extremely pugnacious and when p When Karr goes away he runs around on the ground so that Fina can study English and do farming and ruin the race of humans and beasts and may Allah destroy English does not like it and when he is told that If you fear Allah then pride will turn into a sin If he traps him then hell is enough for him and That is a very bad place and no one is like that is to gain the pleasure of Allah He sells his life and Allah blesses his servants Momino is very kind in Islam Enter fully and don’t follow the devil Come on, he is your open enemy then.

Come down upon the Lords and the angels also descend come and get the job done and all the work Why should I turn towards Allah only? O you who are prophets? Ask Israel how freely we gave them He gave signs and whoever is blessed by Allah if Allah changes it after it comes to Him, then A severe punisher and those who disbelieve Made life in the world joyful for them She has gone and she greets the believers But those who fear Him will not be spared on the Day of Judgment will be above them and whomever Allah wishes First of all, He gives unlimited sustenance to all people There was only one religion but they had differences among themselves When they began to do so, Allah turned towards them and revealed books to them with truth so that in the matters in which people differed judge them in them and Disagreement was also caused by those people who The book was given to him even though he had it open The events had already happened and this dispute If they did it only out of mutual stubbornness then They used to differ about the immortal truth, Allah Show the believers their path by your kindness and whoever Allah wishes to have a straight path shows if you care about it that just like that you will enter paradise and Now if you people have any problems then He did not face any strictness at all And more troubles arrived, and he was shaken in his companions Even the Prophet and the believers were shaken The people who were with him all cried out, when Allah’s help will come Look, she wants Allah’s help to come closer to her O Prophet, people ask you about Allah’s Tell me what kind of goods should I spend on the way that you can spend whatever you want but whatever goods you spend You want to do that at a high level, Kaka means close to parents to the relatives and the orphan and the needy And give to the travellers and whatever good you You will do it, Allah knows it, you Muslims But fighting in the way of Allah is obligatory has been given to you and it will displease you But it is not surprising that one thing may seem bad to you and May it be good for you, and it is not surprising that One thing appeals to you and that’s for you Be a merry fellow and know these things better than Allah He knows and you do not know, O people of the Prophet to fight with you in the months of respect tell me that you are inquiring about Fighting among them is a major sin and blocking from the path and disbelieving in it, and By going to the Masjid-e-Haram i.e. Kaaba to close it and drive out the people of the mosque from it Throw out those who disbelieve in Allah Nearby is a greater crime than this and final English is better than blood and these people I will always fight with you even if If you keep Makhdu then I will turn you away from your religion And whoever of you turns away from his religion, If he becomes a Kafir and dies as a Kafir then this is how The deeds of people in this world and the hereafter They will be destroyed and these people will go to hell Those who will always remain in it are going to leave He believed and left his homeland for the sake of Allah and May Allah bless those who keep fighting the infidels and may Allah forgive O Prophet, he is going to be merciful to you They ask for the ruling on alcohol and gambling Two, that their sins are greater and that of the people There are some benefits for them but their crimes There are more benefits than just the benefits, and that too from you They ask which one is right in the path of Allah Spend the goods and tell them that it is necessary May Allah be more kind to you like this He openly explains his deeds So that you think about this world and the hereafter Pay attention to the things and you will know about orphans I also request you to tell me that their The reform of the condition is a very good work and if You live together with them, which means you share the expenses if you want to keep him then he is your brother and Allah knows very well that the one who does evil who is it and who is going to reform and if If Allah wanted, He would have put you in trouble Surely, Allah is All-Mighty and Wise Believers should not do anything against polytheistic women until they have faith Don’t marry me because she is a mushrik woman How do you like her, a Momin girl? it is better and so is the mushrik man until The believers did not believe in their women How can you like a judgemental man? A believer’s slave is better than the polytheists They call us towards hell and Allah shows His Kindly calling towards paradise and forgiveness and he discloses his orders to the people openly narrates it in order to gain advice and I ask you about menstruation Say it is impurity, so in the verse, in menstruation Keep away from women and until she is pure Don’t confront them, but when they are pure If it happens, then the way Allah has appointed you He has said, go to him, there is no doubt that Allah blesses those who repent and the pure Keeps the residents your friend If women are your farm then in your farm Go whichever way you want and do good deeds for yourself send and fear Allah and know that One day you will have to face him And O Prophet, Bisharatganj to the believers And stop trying to make peace among people And Allah hears and knows everything.

periods for three days on their own And if he believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment if they keep it then it is not permissible for them because Allah has whatever has been produced in their hands

this, men have rights over women men have a status superior to women and Allah is the greatest, the wisest is divorce It is only twice, i.e. when you divorce twice if given, then women will either

the house on her own Go and do your favorite work. If you marry then there is no sin on you and Allah is Mighty, Wise and Almighty According to the custom women also have to do non-nafak One should give protection to the sinners, this is also a right This is how Allah does His work for you He explains it so that you may understand it well I did not see those who were in the count There were thousands of them and they had fled to their homes in fear of death. when they had fled from there Allah ordered them Told them to die and then brought them back to life There is no doubt that Allah is kind to the people but often people are not thankful And Muslims, do jihad in the way of Allah And know that Allah hears everything. Who knows that there is some debt to Allah Make him laugh so that he can give her many times more in return He will give more and Allah will trouble the livelihood He does it and He makes it happy and you are the one Will you return to Bani Israel? that I have not seen a single person who, after Moses, He said to his Prophet that you are a prophet for us Appoint a king so that we can worship Allah perform jihad in the path The Prophet said that if If you are ordered to do Jihad, then it No, instead of fighting you should do that, he says I wonder why we should not follow the path of Allah We will fight while we are rejected from our country and are childless were separated from the children, then when they When the order for Jihad was given, a few Ashas All except Him have turned away and Allah has punished the wrongdoers is aware and the Prophet also told him that Allah has made Lut king over you. He said that he has the right to rule over us. Why can the right to something be greater than that of a person? We are the worthy ones of the kingship and he has So there is not much wealth either, the Prophet said that Allah has given him superiority over you, and He has chosen for kingship He has been blessed with a lot of knowledge and a lot of satisfaction He has also bestowed great blessings and Allah He has the authority to grant kingship to whomever he wants He is a great Kusha Ishwar, a great man and a prophet told him that his, i.e. the kingship of the palate This is a sign that you have that box He will come who will be carried by angels Comfort from your Lord There will be something to spare and some other things too which Moses and Aaron had left behind if If you have faith then this is a It is a big sign When Lot set out with his army, he He said to them that Allah will make a canal for you The person who is going to try it out I imagined he would drink water will know that it is not mine and whoever does not drink it it will be understood that it is mine yes if someone with his hand If you take a handful of water then it’s good when those people When we reached the canal, except for a few people Everyone drank the water then when Talu and Momin When the people who were with him crossed the canal They started saying that today there is Jalud and his There is no strength to fight Lashkar People believed that they would have to face Allah I have to be present, he started saying that this is my status A small group did a great disobedience to the command of Allah We have achieved victory over the Jamaat and Allah has been proven steps are with the residents and when those people When we come face to face with Jalud and his army I prayed to Allah that O Lord, have patience with us open the mouths of the ark and prove us in the fight Step forward and conquer the army of infidels By the order of Allah, Tal’s army killed them defeated them and Dawood killed Jalud and Allah gave them kingdom and grain gave it to me and taught me whatever I wanted and if Allah makes people rise above one another and If he does not stop attacking then he will request It would have been destroyed but Allah is kind to the people of the world These are the verses of Allah, the most merciful which we read to you with truth and O Muhammad sallallahu alaihi waali Wasallam you are without doubt one of the prophets This prophet whom we keep sending from time to time Of these We have given the hawk superiority over the hawk There are eagles with whom Allah has spoken and the status of the eagle is high in the second generation And We made it clear to Isa son of Maryam Gave the signs and helped Ruhal Qudas And if Allah had willed, those before them after a clear sign has come to them, They would not fight but if they differed Some of them believed and some became disbelievers and if Allah had willed, these people we do not fight wars among ourselves but because of Allah whatever he wants, O believers We have given you some of it for that day Before coming, spend first in which there is no There should be a deal of deeds and not friendship and recommendation It is possible, and those who disbelieve are wrongdoers Allah is the most merciful God, that there is no one except Him Not worthy of worship, alive to hold everyone he neither gets any sleep nor any pain All that is in the skies and on the earth is the same Who is it that without his permission can recommend someone who can help some people coming face to face with whatever is behind them He already knows everything and people are to gain knowledge of something can’t do it yes the way he wants It makes us realise the value of his kingship and Knowledge is supreme over the heavens and the earth and it There is nothing difficult in protecting him, he is great Islam has high status and is the religion of respect There is no compulsion in this, instructions are clear But it has been separated from the obvious and the misleading So the person who is free from idols Takadina held such a strong rope in her hand which will never break and Allah will give everything Those who have faith, hear something and know everything Allah is their friend that darkness and which takes it out from the They are infidels, their friends are devils, that they Takes you out of the light and into the darkness these people are the people of hell that you will always remain in it, well you have told that person who did not see because of the pride that Allah had given him the kingdom of Ibrahim he began to argue with him about his Lord When Ibrahim said, “O my Lord,” he He who gives life and gives death He said that even I can give life and death Ibraahib said that Allah makes the sun You take it out from the east, from the west Throw it out, the infidel was stunned after hearing this remained and Allah did not guide the unjust would I have given it to you or not to that person in the same way I saw a colony whose people on their rooftops I was lying down, when I passed by he said that Allah blesses its inhabitants after death why would he keep you alive then Allah has given him The soul was captured and he was kept dead for 100 years then he raised him to life and asked you how long have you been dead he replied granted that in one day or even less Allah He said no but you will be dead for 100 years and Look at your food and drink, in due course Mutluluk When I came in his presence I said, I believe that Allah is responsible for everything he is Qadir and when Ibrahim asked Allah I prayed, O God, show me that you Why will Allah bring the dead back to life? said, did you not believe this did they said why not but I I want to see it because my heart One should attain complete peace of mind and he said that four take the birds then shake them with you and break them into pieces and then tear them apart Place the piece on each mountain and then If you call them, they will come running to you And know that Allah is mighty, Sahib It is wisdom that those who donate their wealth in the way of Allah The example of their goods that It is like a grain from which seven ears of corn grow and each There are 100 grains in one hair and Allah wants Azar and does more and Allah is the most grateful and all-knowing those who invest their wealth in the way of Allah Let’s surf and then there’s no point in spending money after that I am neither indebted to anyone nor to anyone else Their God gives them trouble as their reward and on the Day of Judgment they will not There will be no fear, nor will he be sad After giving alms, the receiver was given permission If you go, say something soft to him and request him It is better to do so and Allah is free from all desires It is time for believers to be grateful for their charity And don’t be ruined like that man by giving pain Give the goods to people for show and spends on Allah and the end of the day If he does not have faith then the example of his wealth is that It is like a heap of soil on which a little mud has fallen and rain down upon it with great force and clean it This is how these Rickards did their deeds will not be able to gain any reward for Allah does not guide such a destroyer And those who seek the pleasure of Allah and spend their wealth with sincere intention Their example is a garden which is high there is a need to speak at a place when there is a strong pressure on it Then bring double the fruit even if I don’t fall So whatever is fine is fine and Allah is with you Is anyone of you watching these works? wants his dates and grapes There should be a garden in which canals are flowing and in it Every type of dry fruits should be available for him and Old age overtook him and his little ones If there are children also then the snake will spread fire in that garden If the heron goes away then it may burn like this Allah I would explain to you My verses in clear detail. so that you think and understand, believers who You earn pure and fine goods and whatever We’ll dig things out of the ground for you Among them there are those who spend in the way of Allah and give evil and impure things don’t do that if those things are given to you So the reason is that you close your eyes while taking it never take them and know that Allah Niyaz is the devil who has many qualities for you instills fear of harassment and indulges in obscene acts and Allah tells you to do His promises forgiveness and mercy, and Allah He is the Kushaib, he knows everything He bestows food on whomsoever he wishes and Dana the barber met him, he was undoubtedly blessed And only those people accept advice who You are wise and you are the one who spend this kind of money or believe in some evil eye, Allah knows him and there is no helper of the oppressors It won’t happen if you give alms openly That too is great and if you give it hidden and also give it If you give it to the needy, it is better for you and this is the way to recompense your sins and will make Allah remove all your There is news of deeds, O Prophet (peace be upon him) Wali wasallam you are the one to guide these people you are not responsible but only Allah He wants to guide you and you believers Whatever goods you spend, it will only be beneficial And whatever you spend, it will be for the pleasure of Allah and the goods you spend you will be given in full and no harm will be done to you, and yes whatever you spend will be for those needy people for those who wait in the way of Allah And the country doesn’t have the strength to go anywhere they keep it and keep it away from asking even Because of not asking, a new person called him The taboo cares and what do you do to them Recognize clearly that you are weak and ashamed Not by breaking your face or hugging the people You can ask for it and you can spend some money on it There is no doubt that Allah knows those who your wealth night and day and hidden and visible keep on spending in the way of Allah Their reward is with their Lord and They have no fear of the Day of Judgment There will be no sorrow for those who take interest spirits will rise from the graves as if Jin made someone crazy by hugging him yes this is because they say sell the deal also it is the same with respect to Nephi as Taking interest although Allah has made the transaction lawful and has made interest haraam, then the person whose The advice of Allah reached him and he If you refrain from taking, then what has already happened His and his case on the Doomsday is with Allah handed over and if anyone tries to take it again then give such people We are destined to burn in hell forever Allah makes interest impossible, that is, impotent, and increases the blessings of charity and Allah He does not keep as a friend any deadly criminal People believed and performed good deeds and prayed Keep reading and give them Zakat for their work will get its reward with Allah and on the Doomsday On that day they will have neither fear nor grief you will be fools, fear Allah and if If you have faith then whatever interest is left Leave him and if you don’t do that then you A war from Allah and His prophet Listen and if you repent and give up interest If you give then you have the right to take your original amount In which neither others’ loss nor yours Loss and if the borrower has tight diarrhea So give him some time till he gets Kusha Ish And if you pardon me the debt, it will be yours it is much better for you provided you understand and Fear the day when you are in the presence of Allah You will return and every person will be responsible for his deeds One will get full revenge and others will get some There will be no loss, believers, when you unite with each other start taking loan for some fixed period So write it down and you are the one who will write it I do not harm anyone, but do justice The writer should write as Allah has given him I have taught you not to refuse to write and Write the document and the person who takes the loan get the text of the document written down and Allah that his master is afraid and he is in debt Do not get anything less written down and if you take a loan whether the person is less intelligent or has difficulty in getting the content written if he does not care about it then whoever is his guardian get the article written with justice and from his own Two men were made witnesses of such a case Do it and if two men are not there then one more man Two women you like as witnesses are enough that if one of them forgets, the other will remind him and when the witness testifies If you are summoned for this, do not refuse, and Whether the loan is small or big, its documentation is important do not be lazy in writing this This is a very fair thing in the eyes of Allah And this is a very good way to attain martyrdom. Does this give you any kind of doubt or suspicion? No need to pay, yes if the deal is successful whatever you give and take amongst yourselves, if such If you do not write the documents of the case then nothing will be done on you It is not a crime when you buy and sell For example, even if it is about property, he was made a witness and the scribe should file the documents and the witnesses should file the case do not cause any harm to others if If you do this then it is a crime for you And fear Allah and see that He what useful things it teaches you and Allah is aware of everything and if you travel But it happens and I can’t find someone to write the document So take a loan by keeping something in your possession And if any one of you considers the other to be an ameen That is, if a loan is given without any mortgage then it is called a trustee that the owner of the trust should pay the trust and fear Allah, his Lord, and See, don’t hide martyrdom, whoever hides it He will be a sinner of heart and Allah He is aware of all your deeds, all that is in the skies and on the earth You should tell your heart’s secrets only to Allah If you reveal it then Allah will tell you more if you hide it He will take revenge from you and then he will take it from whomsoever He can forgive whomever He wants and punish whomever He wants Allah is powerful over everything Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa wasallam on this book which was revealed to them from their Lord She has faith and the believers too are all worshippers of Allah and on His angels and on His books believe in Him and His prophets, and They say that we are not in any of His prophets They do not make any difference and they pray to Allah We say that we have heard your command and accepted it Oh God, we ask for your forgiveness And to you we will return, Allah beating a person beyond his strength does not make me responsible, then he does good work he will get benefit from them, if he does bad then he will O God, if any harm comes to them If I have made a mistake or error then don’t blame me O God, please don’t put such a burden on us As you inflicted on those before us, We have the strength to bear as much burden as God no don’t put that much burden on me and O Lord, forgive us from our sins and Please forgive us and have mercy on us He is our helper so we can prevail over the disbelievers Start by taking the name of Allah who is great The Most Merciful is Alif Lam Meem There is no one except Allah who is the most merciful God Not worthy of worship, alive to hold everyone O Prophet, He has revealed the true book to you that confirms the first heavenly books and it is He who revealed the Torah and the Gospel He had revealed these two books earlier for the guidance of the people and then the Quran which It separates right and wrong those who revealed the verses of Allah those who deny it will have a severe punishment, and Allah is Mighty and He is Avenger Allah is so omniscient that nothing can be predicted from Him It is not hidden, neither in the ground nor in the sky He is the one who desires what is in the mother’s womb That Ghalib creates your faces No one is worthy of worship except the wise No, O Prophet, it is He who has revealed this to you The book revealed, most of whose verses are captivating And that is the original book and there are some other books If there are Shabe then there is anger in the hearts of those people He follows the urine of the night so that Create havoc and find out the real Murad Although the real intention is none other than Allah I do not know and those who look deeply into knowledge They say that we have faith in them All these verses have been brought by our Lord And only the wise accept advice O Lord, when You have guided us then After that don’t create any anguish in our hearts Please bless us with your blessings You are going to do a great job O Lord, on that day when nothing comes There is no doubt that everyone will be gathered in his presence He will do it, surely Allah does not make a promise against you Those who disbelieved, on that day their wealth would be destroyed only he can save them from the punishment of Allah and neither their children will be of any use and these people Hope will be the fuel for hell, then their condition will also be like this like the people of the Niyya and those before them those who considered Our verses Allah punished them for their sins I was caught and Allah gave me a severe punishment O Prophet, tell the disbelievers that you are almost lost in this world too You will go and gather towards Hell in the end you will be done and that is a bad place for you between the two groups who clashed with each other on the day of the battle of Badr Nature clashed with God’s great sign There was a group of Muslims, they were followers of Allah I was fighting on the way and the other knot was with the infidels he had told them through his eyes, He was doing double mushahid and Allah was showing his Whoever wants to get help from Nusrat, Ahle Basarakodu the objects of their desires, i.e. women and sons and large piles of gold and silver and marked horses and cattle and farming She seems very beautiful but all this The world itself is like life and There is a very good abode with Allah Prophet tell them that how can I tell you such a thing Let me tell you something that is better than these things. Listen. For those who fear Allah, There are gardens here beneath which canals flow. He will always be there and pure Bayaa is the most important and most pleasing of Allah And Allah is watching all His servants who we pray to Allah that O Lord We have accepted faith, so our sins are forgiven Please bless us and protect us from the punishment of hell.

Then you should go to him. were not there and neither were they with him at the time when I remember the time when they were fighting among themselves when the angels asked Mary He said that Maryam Allah keeps you by his side gives the good news of the pen whose name is Christ and Isa ibn Maryam will be famous and the world And in the end from among the honourable and the renegade and in the lap of the mother and of an older age Being in both the situations you get the same results from people will chat and Neku will be in cars Maryam said that God is here with me why would a child be born if a person He didn’t even touch me so that This is how Allah creates whatever He wants When he wants to do some work then Irshad He commands it to happen, and it happens And he gives him the Book of Wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel and Jesus became the protector of Israel go towards him as a prophet and say that I near you to your lord I have brought a sign from you and that is that for you I make the shape of a bird out of clay in front of me Then I blow into it and it becomes a symbol of Allah’s By the order the bird really becomes a bird and He cures those who are born blind and deranged and by Allah’s order the dead I will make you alive and whatever you eat you come and keep them stored in your homes yes I will tell you everything if you are gentleman If you have faith then I am here for you It is a sign and those who were revealed before me I also confirm that it happened and I I have come also because there are many things which you They were haram, should I make them halal for you and I am from your Lord’s side I have come with a sign, so fear Allah and Believe me there is no doubt that Allah is the only If there is a God of mine and yours then it is His pray, this is the straight path then when Jesus saw only denial and disobedience from their side Then they said, is there anyone who is on the side of Allah And my helper Hawari said that we We are on the side of Allah and your helpers Believe in Allah and be a witness that we We are obedient, O God, to the book which you have given us It has been revealed that we have faith in Him and your prophet’s mutablist And Allah is the best planner At that time Allah said, тАЬIsa Your time in this world is over I will lift you up to me and you I will purify you from the company of infidels and who People will follow you, they will call them infidels But I will keep Faiq Ghalib till the doomsday then you all If you come back to me then in those matters That day you kept arguing with each other Now I will judge those who are infidels Severe punishment in both this world and the hereafter I will give you something and they will not have any helper and who People believed and kept doing good to them Allah will reward you fully and Allah O Prophet, we do not keep friends with the oppressors Verses of Allah and wise advice to you Allah narrates the condition of Jesus by reading it is like Adam in that he first He created them from clay and then said, If you become a human being then they will become like that If you have the right from your Lord then Don’t ever be among those who doubt If these people argue with you about Jesus, Do it only after you know the truth If it is done then tell them that come let us our sons and call your sons and daughters call your daughters and we will come ourselves too and you Come yourself also, then both sides pray to Allah And pray to Allah in this way on the liars Curse them all, these statements are true and There is no god except Allah, and surely Allah is Ghalib (the master of wisdom) if If these people go back then Allah will forgive them he knows very well, tell him that O people of the book who The thing between you and me It has been confessed that come towards it, We should not worship anyone except Allah and do not associate anything with Him, and None of us considers anyone as his own except Allah If the artisans do not understand this then If he doesn’t agree then tell him that you are losing it We are obedient to Allah, O People of the Book Why do you quarrel about Abraham? Although the Torah and the Gospel were revealed after them And if that has happened before, then don’t you have sense? Look, you keep fighting in such a matter You did it, of which you had some idea But why do you fight over a matter which You do not know anything and Allah knows and you don’t know Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian but Being unattached to everything and becoming one with Allah and were obedient to him and among the polytheists There was no one closer than Ibrahim So they are the people who have been advocating for him and This is the last prophet, sallallahu alaihi waali wasallam and those who believe and Allah is the creator of the believers, O people of Islam Some people of the book wish for this that I am misleading you in some way Though this will mislead you You are being misled and you don’t know O People of the Book, you are aware of the verses of Allah Why do you deny it and yet believe in the Torah? So you are the people of the book, you mix truth with lies why do you create mischief and why do you ignore the truth you hide it even though you know it and the people A gang from the book tells its men that the book which has been revealed to the believers But at the beginning of the day, have faith and deny it at the end so that he Depart from Islam and leave your religion don’t trust anyone’s words except the time of Do it, O Prophet, tell me the guidance It is Allah’s guidance, they also say Do not believe that what you have got Someone else can get it too, otherwise he You need to argue before your Lord Oh Prophet, tell him that the old man will do it It is in the hands of Allah whomsoever he wishes And Allah is the one who gives knowledge He is going to bless whomever he wants with His mercy He does it especially and Allah is very kind he is lord and there is no one from the people of the book who is that if you have a pile of denarii with him If you keep a trust, he will return it to you immediately and someone is such that if he has a Even if you keep a dinar as a trust, as long as it is on his head don’t stand there all the time, i won’t give you anything This is because they say that regarding Umm I won’t be able to do anything for you, it’s just up to Allah They lie and they know it too yes why not the person who keeps his promise If one fulfils all wishes and remains pious, then Allah Those who keep abstinent people as their friends Selling the confession of Allah and your oaths and pay a small price for it they get some share in the end No, Allah will neither speak to them nor On the Day of Judgment he will neither look at them nor at them He will purify them and give them painful punishment And among the People of the Book there are some who The book i.e. Torah is twisted in the tongue read so that you understand what is do read it from the book though he is not from the book and says that he it has been revealed from Allah, although it It is not from Allah and it is not based on Allah They lie and they know it too No man cares that Allah will punish him Then grant me the book, rule and prophethood He should tell the people that except Allah there is no one else except me go away but he should say that O people of the book, become masters of the Lord, because You also teach the book and because You keep on studying and teaching and he doesn’t even notice it You should say that you are the angels and the prophets Whom should you make your god when you are a Muslim? So will he force you to become an infidel? and when Allah made a covenant with the Prophets I took it that when I gave you the book and grains Then some prophet may come to you who If I confirm your book then you You must certainly have faith in him and you must respect him I will have to help and after taking the oath I asked that Well you agreed and I accept this agreement He took the responsibility, that is, he made me the guarantor He said yes, we agreed that you be a witness to this agreement and I I am also a witness with you now those who If we go back later, they are the same bad characters Then is he a kafir other than the religion of Allah? Although all the people are seekers of some other religion The skies and the earth are blessed or displeased by Allah and to Him we return We are going to leave, say that we have faith in Allah and the book which was revealed to us and which right fe Ibrahim and Ishmael and Isaac and the books which were revealed to Jacob and his progeny, God bless Moses, Jesus and the other prophets We have faith in everything that we receive from these There is no difference between any of the prophets and we are obedient to the same Allah And whoever follows any religion other than Islam He would have sought help from him but he never accepted it and such a person will suffer loss in the end Why would Allah sacrifice such people among them? Guide those who become disbelievers after having faith and have previously testified that This prophet is Barhak and brokers also come to him went away and Allah did not guide the unjust The punishment for these people is that they of Allah and the angels and the humans Everyone’s damned forever caught in this damnation if they stay then the punishment will not be lightened and neither will they be given death, yes, those who Thereafter he repented and improved his condition then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful who People became unbelievers after having faith Such people who are increasing in disbelief will surely repent it will not be accepted and these are the people who are misguided People became infidels and died in a state of disbelief. If he wants to be saved and change Even if you give me an earth full of gold, I will never accept it will be done to hurt these people There will be punishment and no one will help them Momino, until you are one of those things which Spending in the way of Allah is dear to you If you do not do this, you will never be able to achieve goodness, and Allah knows what you spend The revelation of the Torah to the children of Israel Before 1999 all food items were halal of those things which Yaqub himself made forbidden Say, “Bring the Torah if you are truthful, and Read it, that is, present the argument now which is If you still believe falsely in Allah then such People are unjust, tell them that Allah has You have told the truth so follow the religion of Ibrahim Do whatever is free from all attachments and is dedicated to one Allah were happening and were not among the mushrik The first house that was built for people to worship It was decided that it is the same as in Mecca There is blessing and joy for the people of this world Guidance: in this are clear signs One of them is of Ibrahim standing There is a place for the person who enters this blessed house It happened that he found peace and Allah bestowed His blessings on the people it is the right or the duty of whoever goes to this house He who keeps the work away from it should perform its Hajj and whoever If he does not follow the order then even Allah You are independent of the people of the world, tell me, O people Book: Why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah? when you do this while Allah rewards you with all your deeds It is right to say to the believers, O people of the book Why do you block the path of Allah and Even though you are aware of it, there is something wrong with it. you take it out and Allah is responsible for your deeds Believers are not unaware if you are of the People of the Book If you listen to a fanatic, he will listen to you After you have believed, they will make you into infidels and Why would you disbelieve when you have faith in Allah? The verses are recited and you in Him his Prophet is present and whoever has He held the rope tight he straight away The path has started, O believers, fear Allah that one has the right to fear him and a Muslim has the right to die die and all of them together advised to Allah Hold the rope tight and spin around Do not become that and do not take the blame of Allah upon yourself Remember kindness when you’re with each other If you were an enemy, he would have put it in your heart He created a ruckus and you became a brother because of his kindness We became brothers and you were on the edge of the fire when you had reached there he saved you from him This is how Allah reveals His verses to you He tells you in detail so that you can stay on the right path stay and there should be a group among you who Invite people to virtue and good deeds command them to do good deeds and forbid them from doing evil deeds These are the people who are successful and Don’t be like the people who passed away And after getting a clear answer from each other These are the people who started to differ There will be a great punishment on the Day of Judgment when there will be a lot of Many faces will be white and many will be black from those whose faces are black May Allah tell you, are you a Kafir (infidel) after having faith You went away and now you will have to suffer the punishment in return for that disbelief. Taste it, and those whose mouths will turn white will be in the gardens of Allah’s mercy and We will remain in them forever, this is the verse of Allah which we read to you clearly and Allah does not want to oppress the world and whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth Everything belongs to Allah and all the works The end is with Allah only, you believers You are the best Ummah who needs guidance for the people You have been brought to the field to do noble work You tell me to do things and forbid me from doing bad things and you have faith in Allah and if If the People of the Book had believed in them then for them It would have been nice if there were some believers among them There are but few and often it is disobedient You will suffer no loss except some discomfort I won’t be able to reach you and if I fight with you Then they will turn their back and run away, then they will also get help You won’t get it from anywhere else, where you’ll see it You will see that humiliation is sticking to them, Bajaj That he is under the protection of Allah or a Muslim seek refuge among the people and these people seek refuge in Allah are arrested in a strange manner and Nadi is not It is clinging to this because according to the verses of Allah and rejected His prophets They used to kill without any reason because this were disobedient and crossed the limits Not all of these people of the book are the same There are some good people too who are proud of their night I would recite the verses of Allah and pray to Him He prostrates himself before Allah every day and at the end of the day But he tells us to have faith and do good deeds And forbidding evil things and encouraging good deeds they leap and these are the people who are righteous and this The kind of goodness you do, it will not matter to you and Allah will give plenty to the pious He knows the wealth and property of those who are disbelievers Children are always against Allah they will not be of any use and these people are the people of hell that These people will always remain in that which is good spend it in the life of the world The example is like a storm in which there is severe cold And he focuses on the cultivation of those people who are self-reliant They used to commit atrocities, let’s go and destroy him and Allah did not do any injustice to them But they are committing atrocities on themselves Do believers accept a man of a different religion as their own? Don’t make these people your confidants, these are your fault I do not commit any negligence and I want you to suffer the way I do If it reaches their tongue, the enmity becomes evident it has already happened and whatever has happened has put a fly in their heart there is much more if you have some sense So We have made Our verses clear to you, I have told you that you are such pure hearted people that you are friends with these people although it I am not friends with you and you are all about books But you have faith and this is your book I don’t believe it and when I meet you I say We have brought faith and when we are alone If so, I would cut my fingers out of anger at you They bite you, tell them to control their anger die in the Allah of your hearts I am well aware of these things, if you have any hope If something is achieved then they feel bad and if If you are hurt then you become happy and If you tolerate the troubles and disobedience If you keep on criticizing them then you will be exposed for their deceit nothing can harm you May Allah reward whatever you do and remember the time when you wake up in the morning Departing from his home, he told the believers occasional appearance on the battle fronts And Allah hears and knows everything It is at that time that two of you gave up your life wanted to give it but Allah was his helper and Believers must trust only in Allah and Allah also provided it in the battle of Badr I helped you even when you They were worthless due to disobedience of Allah save yourself so you can be thankful when you By saying this to the believers, they were increasing their hearts is it not enough for you that your God sent down 3000 angels I’ll help you yes why not if you Keep your heart strong and avoid disobedience And the infidels will attack you with zeal and enthusiasm. if your lord gives 5000 angels who will bear your mark He will send help and Allah will send that help For you, the source is Bisharatganj get peace from him or else help It is from Allah who is the greatest It is wise; Allah did this because Destroy a group of infidels or Make them feel humiliated and go back unsuccessful O Prophet, you have no say in this work I have no choice now, there are two options, O Allah Be kind to them or punish them these are wrongdoers and whatever is in the heavens in me and whatever is in the earth is all Allah He can forgive whomever he wants and whomever he wants Whether he punishes or Allah is forgiving O believers, He is kind and gives double interest Do not eat and fear Allah so that you may be successful Go and save yourself from the fire of hell which is the fire of the disbelievers and has been prepared for Allah and His Follow the Rasool so that you may be shown mercy And seek forgiveness from your Lord and that Paradise Rush towards the one whose request is between the sky and the earth is equal and ready for the abstinence which has been done in times of comfort and hardship spend their wealth in the way of Allah and Stopping anger and making people’s mistakes free and Allah makes us friends and that when any open crime or If someone else does evil in your favor then Remembering Allah and repenting for your sins They ask for forgiveness and commit sins like Allah Who can spare anyone and deliberately ignore his failures? But we don’t stick to the reward of such people There is mercy and protection from their Lord beneath which canals flow and he is in them will always stay put and do good work The revenge of the people is very good on you people So many things have already happened You can take a walk on the land and see that lies What is the end of those who are suffering from this Quran? People A clear message for the people of piety and for the people of piety There is guidance and advice and do not be evil hearted and Do not grieve if you are a true believer You will remain victorious if you are defeated by wounds If it has happened then these people have also been hurt like this and it is the time when we will people keep changing and this also makes The purpose was that Allah separates the believers and make an eagle amongst you a martyr and Allah does not like injustice and this The purpose was also that Allah purifies the believers Make it clear and destroy the infidels Do you think that heaven is without trial I will enter it although Allah has already It is good for those amongst you who do Jihad I did not even know it and this is also the intention So that he may make known to those who follow the right path And you will kill him before death and martyrdom come. I used to desire her so you looked at her with your eyes I saw it from above and Muhammad Sallallahu Wasallam was one He is a prophet, there have been many before him He has become a prophet, what good would it be if he dies or If you are killed, you will turn back and Whoever turns back will not be spared by Allah It cannot harm you and thank God It will give great reward to the one who passes away and in any person I don’t have the strength to die without Allah’s order He should decide the time of death and write it down and the person who keeps his deeds in the world Whoever wants revenge, we will take it back here And whoever seeks reward in the Hereafter, he will We will grant thanks and we will be grateful I will give you very good stitching and many more There have been prophets with whom the people often If Ullah fought with the enemies then who Troubles befell them in the way of Allah Because of them he neither lost courage nor Neither was he cowardly nor was he subdued by the infidels, Allah is a friend to those who have independence keeps it and in this condition no one can say anything from their mouth The point that comes out is this: O our Lord The sins and excesses that we commit through our actions I have been forgiving you and proving me Step forward and bestow blessings upon the disbelievers Allah rewarded them in this world as well And in the end he will give a very good reward, and may allah bless good cars Momino, if you listen to the disbelievers Then he will turn you around and make you stand on your back You will give it then you will be in big trouble It is not he who helps you, but Allah He is your helper and he is the best We are helpful to those close to the hearts of infidels I will establish my authority because it is Allah’s they commit shirk with that which he has not given any The evidence was not revealed and their abode is Hell It is a very evil abode for the oppressors and Allah has kept his promise to you That is, at that time when you send the disbelievers to his were killing on orders, even those who You wanted it, God showed it to you After that you lost courage and the Prophet started quarreling in execution of the order of and If you disobeyed him then whoever amongst you were seekers of the world and the hawks of the hereafter Talib, at that time Allah presented you before them removed from so that I can try you and He forgave you your sin, and Allah is very kind to the believers It is also worth remembering the time when you People would run away and someone would turn back They did not look at taxes and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam to you I was standing behind you and calling out to Allah brought you sorrow after sorrow so that whatever or the trouble that kept slipping out of your hands Don’t be sad because of what happened to you And Allah is aware of all your deeds Then Allah revealed to you after that trouble I sent down consolation that is, I put sleep into you Due to this a group got attracted and some people Those who were in danger of losing their lives due to Allah How can one have any unnecessary belief in disbelief about a prophet? They used to do it and say that it is our right there is something you say that of course everything These people are in the power of Allah the things that you keep in your heart But we did not reveal it, we used to say that our If it were just a matter of time we wouldn’t have committed murder here Go and tell them that even if you go to your homes If they were, then it was their fate to be killed He was surely going to kill himself The need was that Allah who will try the things in your heart and There’s something in your heart, clear it out And Allah is well aware of the matters of the heart Those of you who on the Day of Udya, when the believers and Two groups of infidels got entangled with each other If they ran away from the war, their hawks would be fruitless The devil had made them slip, and surely Surely Allah has forgiven his sin Allah is forgiving, forgive me, believers Don’t be like those who disbelieve And their Muslim brothers when in the way of Allah travel and die or go out for jihad and if they are killed then their relation is said to be If he had stayed with us then he wouldn’t have died nor would he have killed They go because Allah is the protector of those people Create regret in hearts and life and Only Allah gives death and Allah is watching all your actions and if You either die in the way of Allah or Go and buy the stuff that people collect The forgiveness and mercy of Allah is better and If you die or are killed then you will be saved for the sake of Allah You will surely be gathered in the presence of the Lord then By the grace of Allah, you will be able to save those people you have become soft-natured for and if you If you were evil and hard hearted then you would have had this If they would have run away from me then forgive them and Ask Allah for forgiveness for them and for your Take help from them in your work and when someone If you make a firm intention to do the work then rely on Allah Have faith, surely Allah is the believer if allah keeps you a friend If you are helpful then no one can dominate you and if she leaves you then who is there to help you after that and Believers should trust only in Allah And there can never be a prophet betray and doom for those who betray The thing that is betrayed on that day will face Allah then every person will have to be presented with his full reward of one’s deeds will be given, and There will be no injustice done to those who A person who is subject to the pleasure of Allah, One can be like a person who is the follower of Allah be arrested in unhappiness and whose whereabouts There is a hell and it is an evil abode for all people There are different grades with Allah and Allah is watching all their deeds He has certainly done a favor to the believers that in them send a prophet from among them who would reciting the verses of Allah and purifying them and giving them the Book of wisdom They give training and first of all these people are open were in error, what is it that when On the day of Uhud, trouble came upon you from the hands of the infidels Although the number of casualties in the battle of Badr was double that of the previous one Trouble has fallen on them because of you So you started saying that how did this trouble come upon us Tell them that this is your doomsday that you went against the Prophet’s command Surely, Allah is capable of everything and The trouble which befalls you is greater than both the worlds It happened on that day, so it happened by the order of Allah It happened and its purpose was that Allah Momin know it well and the hypocrite also find out and when they were told to come Fight in the way of Allah or fight against the infidels to stop the attacks, then they started saying that if we If there was news of a fight, I would definitely be yours Those days when they lived together, it was disbelief rather than faith Were closer than they say those words with their mouths which is not in their hearts and whatever they They hide it, Allah is well aware of it He himself was sitting safe from the war but who sacrificed their lives in the path of Allah I did tell you about those brothers of mine too that if you had listened to us then you wouldn’t have been killed tell me that if you are truthful then you should take care of yourself to postpone death from those who follow the path of Allah I killed him, don’t think of him as dead, he died but is not dead but alive in the sight of Allah and they are getting sustenance whatever Allah has protected them with His grace are happy with it and those who are left behind And could not join them by becoming martyrs They are celebrating because doomsday is coming On that day they will have no fear, nor will they There will be sorrow and the name and blessings of Allah will be recited are being pleased with it and that Allah The glory of a believer never goes waste who In spite of being wounded, Allah and His prophet Those who accepted the order were the good among them And for those who are pious, there is a great reward.

He knows you don’t care about what they say and admonish them and tell them to do so Say things that will touch their hearts And We have sent every Prophet for this very reason has been sent according to the command of Allah His orders should be obeyed and when these people if I was oppressing you They would come and ask Allah for forgiveness and the Prophet If you had asked for forgiveness for them, then Allah The one who forgives is very merciful By your God, until these people Don’t make me a judge in my tension And whatever decision you make in your heart, Don’t get upset, but accept it happily until then we will not be believers and if we believe in them you would have done the duty to kill yourself Or if you leave your house, then one of these Very few people do this and if it is not in accordance with that advice But there are carbons which are done to them, then their Better in truth and more proven in religion There would have been a mojib of Kadmi and in that case we He also bestows great blessings on them with his blessings and also shows them the straight path and those who They worship Allah and His prophet On the Day of Judgment he will be with those who But Allah did a great favour i.e. the prophets And the Siddiq and the martyrs and the Saliheen and those This blessing of Allah is very great It is a blessing and Allah knows enough Mominos, take up arms for Jihad Then either you go out in groups or everyone Do something together and there will be no one among you It also delays unnecessarily and stays behind then if some trouble befalls you When he goes he says that Allah has blessed me with a great Thankfully, I was not among them and If Allah showers His favour on you then It was as if there was no friendship between you and him I regret and say that I wish I was also like them If we were together then our great aim would have been achieved now People buy the hereafter and in exchange for it the world that those who want to sell their life should that they should fight in the way of Allah and whoever Fight in the way of Allah and then become a martyr Or should we go closer to him? He is bigger than us will give and what has happened to you that Allah’s on the road and those helpless men and women and Those who pray don’t fight for the sake of their children we pray to God to take us out of this city Whose residents are cruel, drive them out somewhere And take someone from your side to our side Agree and send someone from your side to us Appoint a helper; he who is a believer is those who fight in the way of Allah and those who disbelieve He fights in the way of the devil so you Fight with the help of the devil and do not be afraid Because the devil’s claim is weak You haven’t seen the people you saw before It was ordered that one’s hands Abstain from war and pray and pay zakat Keep giving when jihad is made compulsory for them If it happened then some people would say this to them They started to fear as if they were afraid of Allah but more than that he began to say that Allah, why did you make jihad so early upon us? You gave us some time and why did you give us any more time No, O Prophet, tell them that the world’s The benefit is very little and too much of a good thing For the pious there is salvation in the hereafter and upon you You won’t be subjected to even a thread’s worth of oppression Those who are afraid of Jihad, you may die somewhere You will always have something to eat, stay strong in your lives And if these people get any benefit So they say it is from Allah and If any calamity befalls you then O Prophet I am telling you that it is because of you that we It has arrived, tell them that Allah is the only thing that can provide relief from pain what has happened to these people that I cannot even understand you, O human being Whatever benefit comes is from Allah And any harm that occurs is your own misfortune. and O Prophet we have made you the reason for sent as a prophet for the guidance of Allah is sufficient witness that the person If he obeys the Rasool then surely he has those who obey Allah and those who disobey So O Prophet we have given you their He was not sent as a guard and these people But I say that I am your obedient heart I agree but when I go away from you then most of these people are yours at night who advise against things and who They contemplate this, Allah records it Is So don’t worry about them and rely on Allah Have faith and Allah is sufficient Why don’t you pay attention to this in the Quran if This would have been the words of someone other than Allah So he would find a lot of disagreement in this and when No news of peace or terror reached them. if it is then it makes it famous although if present him to the Prophet and his superiors if he had brought it then the investigators would have investigated it you would have done it and if the grace of Allah was upon you and If it were not for his kindness, a few men would have All of you would have fallen prey to the devil except me Fight in the way of the Prophet of Allah You are not responsible to anyone except the believers Also give order to those who are closer to Allah stop the fighting and may Allah bless Tareen is going to fight and punish The person who is very strict in terms of good things if he recommends it, he will get some of its reward You will get your share and recommend any bad thing Do that, he will get a share of his punishment And Allah has power over everything and when If someone prays for you, you answer him Pray to him with a better pen or with those Pray with words, surely Allah is for everything Allah is the one who takes account, He is the most merciful God that there is no one worthy of worship except Him He will surely gather you all on the Day of Judgment And who can be more truthful than Allah? Now what is the reason that you Muslims are hypocrites? Although two gangs have formed about Allah punished them for their deeds do you want that the person Allah has allowed him to remain astray Bring to the right path and the person whom Allah Never let him mislead you you will not find the way, he wants that Just as he himself is a Kafir, you too are be a kaafir and become equal to all then until they Do not leave your country in the path of Allah Don’t make anyone friends if the reason is in the country if they do not confess then catch them and where Get it, kill it and make one of them your own Do not make friends and helpers but those who are You have met people in whom and in you be it the promise of sleep or in such a state that their hearts than fighting with you or your community You are waiting for me to come to you, then it’ll be another matter and if Allah had willed, he would have defeated you If you overpower them then they will definitely fight with you If he kisses you, that means you Let me not fight and I will send you a message of peace So Allah has sent them for you There is no provision for coercion that you will find some other people also who I want you to live in peace as well He lived in peace with his own community, but when Fina If English is called upon, then one turns upside down If such people fail to fight with you Kanara should not puff and neither should I look towards you Send the message of peace and do not hold back your hands So catch them and kill them wherever you find them And in comparison with these people, we You have been given a free hand and no believer It is not a pity that he should kill another believer But I did it by mistake and even if it was by mistake If he kills a Momin then he becomes a Muslim slave Set them free and shed the blood of the heirs of the deceased also give this but that he should forgive then if The dead from the group of your enemies and if he himself is a believer then there is only one Muslim slaves should be freed and if You are among the dead people in whom and you If there is a pact of reconciliation then the heirs of the deceased will be shed blood and set a Muslim slave free should be done and those who cannot afford it, Mut Vatir should keep fasts for two months, this Kaffara Acceptance from Allah is for repentance and Allah is all-knowing, He is all-wise and whoever insults a Muslim if he throws it in, then his punishment is hell, in which he will always be jealous and Allah will shower His wrath on him and will curse him and such a person’s He has prepared a severe punishment for them Momino, when you are out in the way of Allah If you go out then do it with investigation and whatever If a person greets you, do not tell him that You are not a believer that you need him May it be that one gains the benefit of the life of the world Do it, Allah has many blessings You too were like this before, then Allah I did you a favor so investigate further Certainly, accept whatever you do, O Allah Everyone knows about the Muslims sitting in their homes They live and avoid fighting, and no one else Those who do not take rewards and those who are in the way of Allah Both those who perform jihad with their wealth and life Jihad with wealth and life cannot be equal Allah blesses those who do it and those who sit has bestowed excellence in status and is excellent Allah has promised the end to everyone and In terms of Azar Azam, Allah has instructed us to do Jihad Those who stay have some superiority over those who sit It is a gift, that is, a rank from Allah And in forgiveness and in mercy, and Allah is greatest The One who forgives is most merciful to those who When angels put their lives at stake When their life starts becoming a chokehold, then they When they ask how you were, they say We were fed up and helpless in our country The angels say is this the country of Allah There was no opportunity for you to migrate to it So the abode of such people is Hell and they It is a bad place to return to, yes the man and Women and children are helpless because neither any I can make arrangements but I don’t know the way If they are there then it is near that Allah will forgive such people Give and Allah is the most forgiving He is the most forgiving and whoever follows the path of Allah I leave my home and she lives in a lot of land will get a place to live and comfort and the person who Migrating towards Allah and His Messenger if he comes out from there and then death catches him then his The reward has been assigned to Allah and Allah He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and When you go on a journey, you will be rewarded with something It is not necessary to reduce the number of prayers but You are afraid that the infidels will persecute you Surely the disbelievers are your open enemies and Prophet, when you are in this army of Mujahideen And if you start teaching them namaz then it should be that A group of them are with you in prayer When he has finished prostrating, stand up go back and the other group which offered namaz did not study, in their place came more intelligent and mature If a kaafir prays with you then All I want is for you to get a little more stock in your weapons and Be careless of the stuff that will fall on you all at once attack me and if you are in trouble because of the rain If you are in the hospital or are ill, then there is no sin on you Not that you should take off your weapons but defend yourself Allah must do this for the disbelievers The punishment of humiliation is ready for when If you have completed this namaz then stand up and Remember Allah in every condition whether you sit or lie down do it then when you are satisfied then complete it Pray with respect, of course, pray It is duty for believers to perform their duties within their limits And there is no letup in chasing these infidels If you are uncomfortable then do it as You are restless, similarly he is also restless There is comfort and you are blessed with such blessings from Allah you have expectations that they don’t have and Allah is all-knowing and all-wise O Prophet, we have revealed the true book to you so that according to the guidance of Allah

Is this an honor for them? If you want to achieve respect then everyone It is Allah’s and Allah has given you, believers But he revealed this order in his book that when you hear somewhere that Allah’s The verses are being denied and they are being laughed at it is being blown away so as long as those people and things don’t sit near them or else you will also There is no doubt that you will be counted among them Allah sends all the hypocrites and infidels to hell There is a collector who keeps watching you Then if you get victory from Allah When we meet they say, are I not with you? And if victory was destined for the infidels, then they say were we not lib on you and did not save you from the hands of the Muslims Now Allah will judge between all of you on the Day of Judgment and Allah will turn the infidels upon the believers The hypocrite will never prevail with these tricks In their view, they deceive Allah Why would they betray him, he would betray them and when this person is standing for namaz If they are, they just become lazy and lethargic Just to show off to people and remember Allah I don’t do it but there is very little shaking are they neither on their side nor on this one and If someone is led astray by Allah then you can never do anything for him You will not find the way, O people of faith and believers Do not make friends except infidels? Do you want the blessings of Allah upon you? Take the blame, there is no doubt that the hypocrites will be in the lowest level of Hell and You won’t find anyone to help them, yes those who repented and accepted their condition I fixed it and tied the rope of Allah I held on strongly and I followed the orders of pure Allah If such people become friends then they will not be with the believers And Allah will make the believer greater You will get reward if you are thankful to Allah If you survive and have faith in Him, then Allah what will Allah do by punishing you and Allah is aware of this fact I don’t like it when someone tries to bribe someone Only the one who is oppressed can say bad things and Allah is the best Hear something, know if you guys are good Will you do it openly or secretly or do evil If you request him then even Allah will forgive you Those who are the masters of nature, are blessed by Allah and disbelieve in His prophets, and Differentiating between Allah and His Prophets want and say that we believe in the eagle and do not believe in the hawk and have faith and I want to find a way out amidst disbelief Yes, they are certainly infidels, and for the infidels We have prepared the punishment of humiliation and those who believe in Allah and his prophets and made no distinction between any of them That is, everyone is considered to be close to such people May Allah reward us for our good deeds and The One who is Forgiving is the Most Merciful, O Prophet The People of the Book request you that You can write a book on them from the sky If you bring it down from Moses, it is even more I have made big requests to them We were face to face with Allah Show them the reason for their crime Lightning caught me and then there were clear signs If after leaving, you start making the calf your god We also made requests to him, and We made Moses We had given them an open charter and we had taken an oath from them He raised Kohe Tur over them and ordered to enter the city gate If it is to be done then one must enter while prostrating and this He also ordered that fish should be eaten on weekdays Resentment in catching means not going against the order We took a strong oath from them but If they broke their covenant then Breaking the rules and disbelief from the verses of Allah and killing the prophets without any reason and this There is a reason to say that our hearts are veiled Allah has made them men and There are no veils on their hearts, but their Allah has sealed them because of their disbelief If it is so, then it has little faith and their The cause of disbelief and a great blessing on Maryam for the sake of binding and for the sake of saying that we have to Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, who was He was called a prophet, Allah has murdered him made him angry though he Jesus was neither murdered nor crucified but those people were not able to climb on it The form became known and those who knew about it He disagrees with them out of suspicion lying down and walking on the strength of pride To them its Mutlu Isa was certainly not murdered but Allah raised him to His side and Allah is free, He is wise and His people No one will be in the book but his death he will believe in them before the Doomsday and he There will be witnesses against them on the Day of Judgment, so we have made the Jews many pure things were lost because of the atrocities of that which was lawful for them, they made it forbidden for them, and this also because he often goes in the way of Allah they used to stop people from doing this and also because Inspite of being prohibited they used to take interest and this also because they used to usurp people’s wealth without any reason And for those who disbelieve among them We have A painful punishment has been prepared But those who among them are firm in their knowledge And he who believes in this Book, which is beyond you and the books which were revealed before you We have faith in everything and offer our prayers and give zakat and worship Allah and daily If we believe in the end then we will bring them closer O Muhammad Sallallahu I will give you great reward Alaihi Wali Wasallam we have turned towards you in that in the same way as Noah and those after him. it was sent to the prophets and Ibrahim And Ismail and Iq and Yakub and the children of Yakub And Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroon and We had also sent the same to Suleiman, and To Dawood We also bestowed the Zabur and many who are prophets whose condition we know from you have already made the statement and many more There are prophets whose circumstances we have narrated to you They did not do so and Allah Himself told Moses Allah said this to all the prophets By making those who bring good news and those who scare so that after the coming of the prophets People have no argument against Allah I met you and Allah is mighty and wise But the Book which Allah has revealed to you Allah testifies regarding him that He has sent down from His knowledge and the angels They also give testimony and the witness is only Allah Enough is enough for those who disbelieved and for the people he stopped him from the path of Allah Those who went astray and became disbelievers, They kept committing atrocities, may Allah forgive them No, and I will not show them the way, yes except the path of hell in which he will always We will always be here and this is easy for Allah People this prophet is with you I have brought the truth from God So have faith in them, it is in your favor It is better and if you disbelieve then know it that all that is in the heavens and on the earth It belongs to Allah and Allah knows everything He is the one who has wisdom, O people of the book Do not exceed the limits in matters of religion and Allah Say nothing about Christ except what is true That is, Jesus, son of Mary, is the messenger of Allah and these were his special orders which he gave to Mary had sent it towards and there was a spirit by his side So have faith in Allah and His messengers and Do not say that there are three Gods in Takadina and whatever is in the ground is all that and Allah is sufficient for the creator Christ does not mind that God’s There are no human beings and no fixed angels And whoever is ready to be a servant of Allah If one understands the power and rebels then Allah will save everything He will gather the people around him now whoever believed and kept doing good deeds and they He will give full revenge and some from his grace he will bestow even more blessings and those who and refused to be and asked him, painful punishment And he has no other supporter besides Allah You will not find any help from your people You have a great blessing from the Almighty.

If you are sick or traveling or someone did you come from Baitul Khala or did you If you have met women then you will get water If you cannot get it then take pure soil and cover your mouth with it. And the masa of the hands means decide me Allah I don’t want to put any kind of strain on you Rather, it wants to purify you and May He bestow His blessings upon you so that you Be thankful and grateful for what Allah has bestowed upon you Remember what he did and his promise too whose vow was taken from you i.e. when you It was said that we have heard the command of Allah And confess and fear Allah if there is any doubt It is not that Allah knows anything about the matters of the heart For Allah is aware, O you who believe stood up to testify for justice Do this and the hostility of some people prevents you from doing this But don’t be so determined not to do justice Do justice, this is a matter of shame And fear Allah, there is no doubt that Allah is aware of all your deeds People believed in him and kept doing good deeds Allah has promised that for them There is forgiveness and great reward and those who disbelieve And they denied Our verses and that is Hell O you who believe, Allah has blessed you with Remember the favor you have done for me when some people if he intended to attack you then He has restrained their hands from you and from Allah Be afraid and the believers have to depend only on Allah One must have faith and Allah has given protection to the Bani Israel We had taken an agreement with them and we included 12 Sardars in them had been determined and Allah said that I am with you if you pray And you will continue to give zakat and on my prophets you will have faith and keep helping them and If you give Allah your debt then I will forgive you I will remove your sins and I will enter the paradise beneath which there are rivers are flowing then after which one of you When he disbelieved, he strayed from the right path So because they broke their covenant, we cursed them and hardened their hearts These people gave the Kalma Kitab from their Maqama and the things about which they are given advice A part of it too was forgotten except for a few men sitting and you always You keep getting news of one or the other of their misdeeds. So forgive them and request them Allah blesses those who do good And those who say that we are addicts, we I had taken a vow from them also but if they too part of the advice that was given to them If they forgot, then we will destroy them till the Doomsday and whatever They kept bringing Allah closer to them He will warn you, O people of the book Our prophets have finally come to power that whatever You used to hide them from the book of Allah I will tell you a lot of it openly and forgives many of your sins Surely, they make it available to you the blessings of Allah A book of light and light has come from this side, which May Allah grant safety to those who follow His will shows the way and by his command taking them out of the darkness into the light and guides them on the right path Those who say that Allah is the same as Christ He is the Ibn Maryam, he is surely a disbeliever, tell him give that if Allah gave Isa ibn Maryam and to his mother and all those in the earth If he wants to kill everyone then who can stand before him? and the sky and the earth and whatever There is something between them, Allah is above all It is his rule, he creates whatever he wants and Allah is all-powerful over everything, Neither Jews nor Sarah say that we are followers of Allah son and his beloved say that then he you will be punished for your sins Why doesn’t he give it to you but you are his creation I am a person like others, the one who He can forgive and punish whomever He wants, and the sky and the earth and whatever is between them It is Allah’s rule over all and everyone is dependent on Him We have to return to the side, O people of the book The series of arrival of prophets which lasted for a long time If you keep waiting then now you have our The Prophet has come who will tell you our truth so that you don’t say that we have No one came to bring good news or fear So now I have good news and warnings to bring to you. The ones have come and Allah is powerful over everything yes and when Moses said to his people that The favours that Allah has bestowed upon you, brothers Remember Him who created a Prophet among you and made you a king and you He bestowed so much blessings that out of the people of the world O brothers, you did not give your request to anyone Muqaddas means the country in Sham which Allah has written it for you come in And make sure you don’t turn your back during the fight Otherwise you will be in loss, he started saying Moses, there live very powerful people there And until that head comes out of the ground we can’t go there yes if he is from there If we leave then we will enter whoever There were two men among them who feared Allah But it was Allah’s grace that these attack people through doorways Then when you entered the door, you achieved victory It’s yours and trust in Allah If you are truly faithful he said that Moses, as long as they are there we will never be there If you must fight without going, then you And your lord both of you go and we will fight We will sit here, Moses asked Allah I prayed that O God, I am for myself and my I have no authority over anyone except my brother You keep it between us and these disobedient people Allah said that he The country is forbidden to them for 40 years. It was told that you will not be able to go there, this is In the area where now heads are roaming around If we stay then we will be at the mercy of these disrespectful people Do not regret and O Prophet give them to Adam The condition of sons Habib and Qabil which is absolutely are you true, read it out loud that when both of them when he offered his offering one by one at the court of Allah One’s prayer was accepted and the other’s When she did not accept it, Qabil started saying to Habil that I will kill you he said Allah accepts the prayers of only those who pious If you are going to kill me, If you lay a hand on me, I will kill you I will not lay my hand on you to do this So I am afraid of Allah Rabbul Alameen I want you to take away my sins as well And you will confess your sins in the people of hell Let it happen and this is the punishment for the oppressors after all His self, i.e. Qabil’s self, called him his brother when he gave the order to kill him, he killed him I did it and now I am among the recipients Allah sent a crow which dug in the ground so that he could show him his brother’s corpse How to hide it, he started saying oh less luck I couldn’t even be like this crow I would have hidden my brother’s body then He felt remorseful for the murder we committed It was written upon the children of Israel that whoever A person will kill someone without reason, that is, without whether we should avenge our lives or our country if he is punished for doing wrong, he as if all the people were murdered and the one who If one person saves a person’s life, it is as if he has saved all gave life to humans and for these people Our Prophet has already brought clear arguments to us Even after that, many of these people are still in the country Those who commit injustice are Allah and fight against His Messenger, and in the country This is their punishment for running around to create mischief should be brutally murdered or crucified be offered or their hands on each side and The legs on each side should be cut off or If they are made to disappear then this is their only hope in the world There is disgrace for them, and a great punishment for them in the end A great punishment is ready for those who have done this The thing is that you can control it if you repent Know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful O you who believe, fear Allah and Keep looking for his proximity and his path I must do Jihad so that those who are successful they are infidels if they have there should be rueda and with it there should be more of the same So that on the Day of Judgment the revenge for being saved from punishment if they give it, it will not be accepted from them and they It would be a painful punishment, he would want that You can get out of the fire but you can’t get out of it And for them is everlasting punishment, and theft The man who steals and the woman who steals Cut off each of their hands, this is proof of their misdeeds As a punishment and a lesson from Allah and Allah is mighty and wise, then A person who repents after committing a sin and becomes a virtuous person If he does something then Allah will forgive him There is no doubt that Allah is the most forgiving He is very kind, don’t you know that there is only Allah in the heavens and the earth It is a kingdom and it can punish anyone it wants If only he could forgive me and Allah is full of everything O Prophet, those who are in disbelief are brave. Let’s hurry up and do something among those people are those who say with their mouth that they are believers But their hearts are not believers and nothing else Going because of those among them who are Jews These people shouldn’t be there to create lies They go around spying on other people have become spies for the one who is with you now Things did not come to be proved in their place after being taken away from the people They say that if you receive this order then Accept it and if you don’t get it then Avoid this and whomever Allah wishes to make disappear So you will get guidance from Allah for that. These people do not have any authority over whose hearts Allah has purified I did not want any humiliation for them in this world And in the end there is a great punishment for these lies spies and bribes to make are going to eat the haram stuff if this do you have any case to decide If you come then you decide between these or not Do Gardani and if you get angry with them If you do it, it won’t harm you in any way and if you want to decide then you can do justice to decide that Allah is the judge of those who are just and it keeps you as its friend Why should we file a case and get it decided when we ourselves are They have the Torah in which Allah’s The order is written, then you know it After that they turn away from it and these people They do not believe, surely We have revealed the Torah He said that it belongs to him in whom there is guidance and light. According to the prophets who were obedient to Allah have been ordering the Jews and Appointed guardians of the book of Mushaira had gone there and there were witnesses to it i.e. divine order So don’t be afraid of people And fear Me and be faithful to My verses Do not take a small price in return and whatever Allah Order according to the revealed sayings of the Prophet If they don’t give, then such people are infidels And We have revealed to them in the Torah this The order was written that life in exchange for life and eye for eye and nose for nose and ear for ear and tooth for tooth and The person who has now avenged all the wounds in this manner If he forgives the revenge, it will be atonement for him and which are the revelations of Allah If you do not give orders as per the need then such people will be There is justice and after those prophets only We sent Isa ibn Maryam in the footsteps of which confirms the Torah which came before it. and I gave them the Gospel in which There is guidance and light, and of the Torah which precedes it. The book confirms and cautions against She guides and advises the people and The Gospel requires that According to Ekambadeswarar he will not give orders So such people are disobedient and O Prophet we have The true book has been revealed to you, which confirms the first books and There is a watch over everything, so whatever Allah commands According to what has been revealed You have the right to decide between Leaving him behind, he has come to fulfill their desires Do not plead, we have chosen each one of you A tradition and a way for the community has been determined And if Allah had willed, you would have been given the same I would have done it according to the Shariat but whatever order he gave you I have given them to you to try He wants you to move ahead in noble deeds Everybody has to return to Allah The things that you had disagreements about, you he will tell and we reiterate that whoever Allah has revealed the commandment of decide according to them and Do not follow desires and be attached to them to stay together as per some order given by Allah It has been revealed to you somewhere Don’t mislead me, if he doesn’t agree then know it that Allah wants that they should forgive all their sins cause trouble to fall upon them and often People are disobedient anyway, so what is this era The desire to make a decision like that of an ignorant person is weak and from Allah for those who believe Whose decision will be better, O believing Jews? And don’t make Sara your friend, they are not friends with each other and the person amongst you who is their friend He will make friends and will also be counted among them Surely Allah does not guide the unjust If it gives, then those who have the fear of retribution in their hearts It is a disease, you will see them running in it we meet running they say that we I am afraid that the wrath of the world may fall upon us It is near if it comes or Allah sends a blessing Let some other immortal being descend from
here then These people hide their innermost thoughts were professions and will remain as such at that time Muslims will wonder if this is the same who has taken strict oaths in the name of Allah We used to say that we are with you, their actions You have lost your face and fallen into loss, O faith People, if anyone amongst you turns away from his religion, If he goes, Allah will create such people Whom he keeps as his friend and whom he keeps as his friend And those who are soft on the believers and You are the one who is strict with the infidels. Do jihad on the path and do not blame anyone Do not be afraid of the blame of others, this is Allah’s blessing He gives to whomever he wishes and Allah He is a great warrior, he knows everything Muslims, your friends are Allah and His Prophet and the believer are the ones who offer namaz Read and give zakat and pray before Allah bow down and whoever is If he makes friendship with the Prophet and the believers then he He will be from the group of Allah and will be a part of Allah’s group.

You will refrain from this and be obedient to Allah and keep obeying the Rasool and keep fearing him now if If you turn your face away then know that our Prophet It was his responsibility to just deliver the message It is to be given to those who have faith and do good deeds There is no blame on them for the things that they ate while they abstained and Believed and did good deeds, then abstained And they believed, then they abstained from sin and did good deeds And Allah keeps good cars as friends Believers are not the prey of any person whom you You can attain Allah with your hands and arms He will test you i.e. your state of ihraam I am hunting with the intention of finding out that who is afraid of him so that after that If he commits excesses then it will be painful for him O believers, the punishment is ready when you enter Ihram Do not kill any animal if you are capable of doing so And whoever of you kills him intentionally, or So give him recompense and that is that in the same way quadruped which two of you die decide, make a sacrifice and this Should the sacrifice be taken to the Kaaba or should it be offered as Kaffara and Is he going to feed the poor or Keep regular fasts so that you can get retribution for your deeds enjoy it and whatever has happened before has been taken by Allah has been forgiven and whoever does such a thing again Allah will take revenge from him and Allah is Ghalib He is going to take revenge for you Hunting and eating river animals it has been made halal, that means between you and For the benefit of travelers and for the protection of the forest prey on things as long as you are in the state of ihraam It is forbidden for you and whoever has been forbidden by Allah You will all be gathered near you, fear Allah opened the house of honor i.e. Kaaba for the people They have made the stay a tough one and the month of respect and the sacrificial animal and those animals those who have leashes tied around their necks, this is because You must know that whatever is in the heavens and whatever some is in the earth, Allah knows everything, and That Allah has knowledge of everything Remember that Allah is severe in punishment, and That Allah is Forgiving and Merciful The Prophet is only responsible for the message and whatever you express and whatever you do you despise Allah I know everything, tell me about the impure things and the pure Things are not equal even if they are impure If you like exercise then wise people fear Allah so that you may succeed Momino don’t ask questions about such things that if their reality was revealed to you if you go then you will feel bad and if you You will ask such questions in the dimension of being revealed Then it will be made clear to you now Allah has forbidden us from asking such things. He has said and Allah is Forgiving There have been many such conversations between people before you had also asked but when it was told then he Allah turned away from them, nor did any one give It has been decided and there is no other There is no way and no supporter but a kaafir They attribute lies to Allah and this often leads to intellect they don’t use it and when told to these people It is said that the book which Allah has revealed He has said to turn towards him and the Prophet if you do then they say that the way we have followed our We have found BapDada and that is enough for us If their fathers and grandfathers don’t know anything, Even if you are not on the right path, O believers Be careful when you are on instructions If someone is misguided then do something to harm you I cannot return you all to Allah At that time you have to go, he will give you all your He will warn you about the deeds you have done in the world And the believers will repay them when one of you If someone’s death is near then the rule of martyrdom This is that at the time of the will you are among the Muslims two men, Adil i.e. Sahib-e-Tabar, should be witnesses Or if you cannot find any Muslim and you are travelling And at that time the danger of death may arise upon you. If yes, then two persons of other religion should be called as witnesses Do it if you have any concern about those witnesses If there is any doubt then they should stand after Asr prayer Do it and both of you swear in the name of Allah that we We will not take any revenge for our martyrdom We are relatives and not the martyrdom of Allah If you do this, you are guilty then if it is known that both of them If someone commits a crime by telling a lie then He wanted to usurp the rights of the people In their place stood two more men who were dead You keep your distance from Allah and then Let us swear by our martyrdom on their martyrdom It is very true and we have not done any exaggeration that if this has been done then we are unjust very close to the way these guys are right Give up your life or fear the fact that our The oaths were also cancelled after they were taken and fear Allah and His deeds Listen carefully and obey Allah He does not instruct me to remember that day The day when Allah gathers the prophets is worthy and then he will ask them what do you I got the reply that he will request us to do something I don’t know that you are aware of the things of the unseen is when Allah says to Isa that O Isa son of Mary, remember my favors I did this to you and your mother When I asked Ruhal Qudsai Jibraeel about your You helped me in my lap and even though I was young I was the same used to chat with people on the phone and when I have given you the Book and the grain and the Torah, and I taught you the Bible and when you obey my command make the shape of a bird out of clay and then If they used to blow, they would do it on my orders would have become a real bird and born To the blind and to the one suffering from my disease They used to cure diseases and make the dead alive by giving orders They would bring him out of his grave alive and make him stand When I touched the hands of Bani Israel to you Stopped when you got them open scars When they brought it, those who were infidels amongst them began to say, that it was open and when I saw it he sent an order to me and my Have faith in the Prophet, they started saying that O God, we believe in you, remain a witness that We are obedient, remember that incident too when Hawar said: O Isa ibn Maryam Can your God do this so that we But send down the food from the sky He said, if you have faith then fear Allah He said that it is our wish that we eat of it and find satisfaction in our hearts, We know that you have told us the truth and we On the arrival of that Khan, Isa Ibn Maryam prayed: O our Lord, But please send down the king from the sky that our For that day became Eid i.e. our next day And for the rest, and that is a sign from you and give us sustenance and You are the best sustenance Allah is the giver, He said I am upon you Certainly the food will be revealed but whosoever Then whoever disbelieves amongst you will be punished with such a punishment I will give such punishment to someone in the world I will not give it and also remember that time when May Allah say: O Isa ibn Maryam what You told the people that there is no one except Allah Make me and my mother your God He will say that you are pure, when did I ever know that that I would say something to which I have no right no, if I said that you would You will know because what is in my heart You know him and what is in your heart I do not know, of course you are Alam-ul-Guyu I did not say anything to him except the one whose You commanded me that you are Allah pray to that which is mine and yours is God and as long as I am in them I kept you informed about the situation when you If you take them away from this world, then you are their caretaker and you are aware of everything if you tell them If you punish them then these are your servants and if If you spare them, it will be your kindness because You are the most powerful and wise, Allah Say that today is the day when the truth will be revealed Only truth will benefit them, there is a garden for them beneath which canals flow forever They will continue to live there. Allah is pleased with them. And they are happy with Allah, that is the biggest Success is the sky and the earth and whatever In both, Allah has sovereignty over all and He is capable of everything, O Allah In the name of the most kind and merciful All praise is for Allah who created the heavens and the earth, and Created darkness and light but still the infidel is the second Considering celebrities as equal to their God They say that it is He who has turned you into dust Created from a then fixed a time to die I did it and a period of time was fixed for him to say yes and Yet you infidels have doubts about this and in the sky and on the earth there is only one Allah So it is yours, hidden and manifest. knows things and the work you do The most aware and of the signs of Allah No sign comes to these people from But they turn their back on it when their When the right came to him, he denied it as well So they love those things that make them laugh Are you close? Will you know the outcome? They did not see that we had done this before them How many communities were destroyed whose He had established his feet in the country in such a way that your feet should not be planted like this and on them It rained continuously from the sky and created canals which was flowing beneath their houses then They were destroyed for their sins, and After him you created another Ummah and O Prophet If we write something on you on paper He would send down the writing and he would give it to her with his own hands Even if we probe, the infidels will say the same they tell him that this is clearly magic and say Why did the angels descend upon these prophets nothing happened that would confirm this and if we Had an angel descended, the work would have been decided If it goes then they would not even be given a price If We had sent an angel, he would have been send it in the same condition and whatever doubt this has now let’s do that and put them in the sub There would have been laughter with the prophets even before you Then there are those people who used to laugh at them The punishment for laughing has surrounded them Walk around the country and see what happens What happened to those who are saying that the sky and Tell me Allah whose is everything on this earth That he has bestowed mercy upon his pure race He has taken you all on the Day of Judgment in which There is no doubt that those who he has put himself at a disadvantage they do not believe and those creatures who I live in everything, it’s all his and he listens Do you know what I can say except Allah help someone else that he is the one the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and He gives food to everyone and himself takes food from someone he does not take food also tell me that this is for me I have been ordered to be the first to obey and that O Prophet you are not among the polytheists Happen Also tell me that if I pray to my God If I disobey, I will have to face the punishment of a big day The person from whom there is fear of the punishment will be averted on that day Allah bestowed great favour upon him said and this is open success and if If Allah brings you any hardship then There is no one to remove it except him and if If someone bestows blessings and relief, then there is no one to stop him He is not the one who is capable of everything and he He is the master of his subjects and he is the taunter Beware, ask them who is the best among all Whose martyrdom is justice, tell me it is Allah There is witness in me and in you and in this Quran has been sent down upon me, that through this to you and to anyone it can reach Should I warn you all about this? Will you be martyred? you say that there are other gods along with Allah O Prophet, tell him that I will not be martyred in this way Say that He is the only God and I associate with those whom you associate I am tired of the people to whom I gave the book He describes him, our Prophet, in this way You recognize me the way you recognize your sons Those who put themselves at a loss they do not believe and that person Who is more unjust than the one who has committed a crime against Allah lied or rejected His verses or something There is no doubt that the cruel people will not succeed And the day when we will gather all the people then You will ask the Mushrik whether he is your partner today Where are those whom you claimed No profit will be made and some money will be left behind I will have no choice but to swear by Allah that He is our Lord; we did not associate partners with Him Look at the lies they told about themselves and Whatever they used to do, they all used to do it with them It kept going and among them the eagles are such that pays heed to what you say and We have drawn veils over their hearts So that they cannot be understood and it becomes a burden on the ears I have given it to you that I cannot hear it and if all this Even if you see the signs, still don’t believe in them Even when you have an argument with me When they come to do it, those who are infidels say This is nothing but Quran and only the first people There are stories that they prevent others from doing this too and they themselves stay away but these things they destroy themselves with this and this thing I wish you could see them at that time When they will be made to stand at the edge of Hell and They would say, oh I wish I could return to this world again be given so that the verses of our Lord may be followed Do not argue and become a believer, yes this is Some things used to be hidden earlier but now they are revealed and even if it is returned to the world then they were forbidden to do those things He started doing the same thing again, there is no doubt that he is a liar and they say that our world’s this is life, this is life and we don’t believe in it later you will not be brought back to life and I wish you Look at them when they are facing their God will be made to stand in front of him, what should he say If this being alive again isn’t a good thing then I’ll say Why not swear by our God? It is absolutely right, may Allah say that now there is no disbelief in return for the tortures that they used to inflict in the world Taste the joys of those who have faced Allah Those who thought that attending was a lie incurred a loss Even when the serpent of doom is present upon them If it happens, we will exclaim, woe to that negligence regret what we said about doomsday and He carries the burden of his deeds on his back Look at the burden they are bearing it is very bad and the life of this world is a There is a game and a very good house in the end It is the home of Allah, that is for those who fear Allah Don’t you understand that I know it Prophet that the words of these infidels will not tell you anything It delivers but it is not your expectation But the wrongdoers do it according to the verses of Allah They deny it and the Prophets before you too If lies keep coming and going then he remains patient with the pain and suffering We kept doing this even to the point where they had our help and no one could understand the words of Allah is not going to change and you have to follow the prophets The news of the report has reached you too Be patient and if their behavior becomes If you are going through a tragedy then if you have the strength Find a tunnel in the ground or the sky look for a ladder in the house, then they have no Bring a miracle and if Allah wills, everyone I would have submitted to your instruction, so you are absolutely naive The thing is that only the one who doesn’t want to be in it accepts the truth those who listen and the dead So Allah will raise up the Doomsday itself and then will go back to that side and say that on them a sign from their Lord Why did it not appear, tell me Allah He is capable of taking down the signs, but often People do not know and those who walk on the ground a beast or a flyer They are birds too, they are collected like you people We have kept it in the book i.e. Loh Mahfooz I did not neglect to write the thing and then everything will be submitted to their Lord, and Those who rejected Our verses or They are deaf and dumb and also in the dark Whoever Allah wishes is lying astray let it be and guide whomever you want to the right path Tell me you infidels, if you look at me May Allah’s wrath come or may the doomsday arrive So in such a situation do you worship anyone other than Allah? Will you call someone else if you are honest then tell me No, but in times of trouble you rely on him When you call out, you call out to him for the pain for which he is Yes, if he wanted he could have removed it and whomever you make partners at that time You forget them and we have done it before you Then he sent a message to many Ummahs Due to their disobedience we treat them strictly And keep holding on to the problems so that I can comfort myself So when Our punishment kept coming upon them, why I did not keep bothering him, but his heart They had become strict and the work they did was like devils in their eyes Arasco which was done to them was forgotten So we opened the doors to everything for them. Even when what they were given was enough for them When he became happy, we caught the snake and He was left dejected at that time, People’s roots were cut off and all the praise Allah Rabbul Alameen is only for these Tell the disbelievers that look well, if Allah take away your ears and eyes and your If you put a seal on the hearts, then there is no one except Allah Which god is it that gives you these blessings? Look at the ways in which we explain our verses still these people do it and make noise they go and say that tell me well if it is on you Allah’s punishment comes without any knowledge or with the news If later anyone comes, except the cruel people There will be more destruction and we who believe in the Prophets They keep sending it to give good news and scare Then whoever has faith and is a righteous man If we go then such people will have no fear and nor will those who have forgiven us be sad The verses believed that they were lying due to their disobedience They will be punished, tell them that I will tell you He does not say that I have the blessings of Allah There are treasures and I do not know anything about them And I donтАЩt tell you that I am an angel I only follow the orders that Tell me it is coming from Allah Well if the blind and the sighted are equal then Then why don’t you pay attention and those who We fear that we will face our Lord will be produced before him and know that his He will have no friend except The one who intercedes for them through this Quran advise him so that he becomes pious and who People pray to their God in the morning and evening and they crave his attention Do not take out from yourself the account of their deeds The responsibility is nothing but on you and your They have no responsibility for accounting Don’t do this, if you throw them out then you will be cruel You will become like this and in the same way we have made people I have tested the hawk that those who are rich Are these the people who say this about the poor are those on whom Allah has bestowed His favour among us Is Allah aware of those who are thankful? No, and when such people come to you from those who believe in Our verses Say Salamun Aleikum your Lord has given you his It has been made obligatory to bestow mercy upon the pure race that Whoever of you does any evil out of ignorance, Do something and then repent after that and If a righteous act is done, He is the most forgiving We are Merciful and thus do We reveal Our verses they explain it openly so that you may comment on them act and so that the path of the sinners Let it become clear, O Prophet, tell the unbelievers that Whom do you call besides Allah? It is also said that their worship is forbidden Let me follow your wishes I will not do this, if I do this I will get misled And tell me not to be among the guided people that I am based on the bright evidence of my Lord I am and you are demanding that thing which means You are in a hurry to punish me, Only Allah does not have such an order He is in the power to state the truth and he is the best judge Tell me what you are in a hurry for yes if it were in my power I would The decision would have been made between you and me and Allah is well aware of the wrongdoer and his he has the keys to the unknown which no one else but him can know Nobody knows and he is kept in the forests and rivers that I have knowledge of everything and no leaf but he knows it and the ground In the darkness, some grains and some green or dry There is no thing but the books are written in light and that is the condition which makes you sleep at night I capture your soul and who keeps track of everything you do during the day then it lifts you up so that this Continuing the series, I am going to live the life Let it be completed then all of you will move towards Him You have to go back, then he will punish you for your deeds I will tell you one by one what you keep doing and He is powerful over his servants and over you He keeps a watchman posted, even when one of you dies Our angels take possession of his soul and then don’t do any negligence On the Day of Judgement all people will be without their Lord You will be called back to Allah, listen Behold, the order is His and He will do so very soon He is going to take account, tell me good things about you in the jungles and who brings us out from the darkness of the rivers while you are harassing her and secretly You call out and say if Allah grants us this If He frees us from hardship, we will be very grateful to Him I am going through this crisis, I will tell you that only Allah can help you in that crisis and yet there is salvation from every difficulty You commit shirk with him say that he On top of this, nature also maintains that you have the power of the higher authority. Punishment from the side or from beneath your feet send it or divide you into two groups and one by pitting one against another and fighting among themselves Let us give you a taste of our verses and see who we are explain it in such a way so that these people understand and Although your community rejected the Quran It is my absolute right to say that I am yours I am not a police inspector, there is a time for every news It is fixed and you may know it closely and when you see people who Talking nonsense about Our verses if you are then separate yourself from them, even if they get busy with other things and if this thing If the devil forgets you then when he remembers you Don’t sit with cruel people and stay away from them There was nothing on the garos according to those people. no accountability yes advice so that he too be pious and those who have They have made it a game and a spectacle and are trying to make the world Life has deceived them Don’t do any work, yes through this Quran Keep advising so that on the Day of Judgment no one I was not thrown into hell as a punishment for my deeds On that day, no one will be with him except Allah There will be no friend and no recommender, If everything that If he wants to give Rueda then he may not accept it These are the people who are confused about their deeds They were thrown into the hell so there was something for them to drink There is boiling water and a painful torment Because we used to disbelieve, tell me what we Call upon anything other than Allah which is not can do us neither good nor bad and when we So what if Allah has shown you the right path? If we turn back then our life will become like this It should be an example like someone was kidnapped by Jinns in the jungle I may have forgotten and he is surprised And he should have some friends who can show him the way Call him over to me and tell him that The path is the one shown by Allah And we have been commanded that we became obedient to Rabbul Alameen and also that you should keep praying and fear Him, and He is the one to whom you will be deposited, He is the one who created the skies and the earth has created from and the day when He will say that If you do, then the end will befall you, his wish it is true and the day the trumpet will be blown Only he will be the king, the hidden and the visible He knows everything and he is the one who is the source, beware and that time is also worth remembering when Ibrahim said to his father Azar, Do you make idols into gods?

Today you will be punished with the punishment of humiliation Because you used to lie about Allah And they used to rebel against His verses, and We created you for the first time Just like this you came to us today all alone and the wealth We had bestowed upon you He left it all behind and we I want your recommendations with me too you don’t see those for whom you care He was your intercessor and our partner Today all your relationships are ruined and all the claims you made Surely it is Allah who keeps on taking away the grain and the kernel He is the one who tears them up and grows trees etc. brings out the living from the lifeless and that is This is the one that will bring life out of the lifeless So Allah exists then where are you wandering The one who tears the morning light from the darkness of the night and it is he who gives rest to the moose at night. and the sun and the moon as a means of calculation made it the prerogative of Allah The style is Ghalib’s, knowledgeable and He is the one who made the stars for you so that in the darkness of the forests and rivers Learn from them the path for the wise We have explained Our verses clearly and it is He who has united you with a person I then created a place for you to stay place and a delivery to those who understand for We have explained Our verses clearly and it is that which comes from the sky It rains and then it is we who make it rain All kinds of vegetables are grown from it Then they take out all the vegetable plants from it and those plants that are connected to each other they extract grains and from the dates’ core hanging bunches and vineyards and Olives and pomegranates which resemble each other These things are there and they are not there when they come to fruition on their fruits and when they ripen Look at them ripening, among them there are those people for those who believe in the power of Allah There are many signs and these people have He associated the Jinns with Allah, although He created them too and they don’t understand the lie His sons and daughters stood waiting for him that he is concerned with those things which are stated in relation to him He is pure and we glorify him with these things Exalted is He, the Creator of the skies and the earth Where will his child come from when Not only his wife but he also gave birth to everything he has done it and he is safe from everything, this is the ausaaf Allah is your protector There is no god except Him, He is everything If there is a creator then worship him And He is the overseer of everything; he is such that Eyes cannot recognize him, while he He understands the glances and he differentiates The one who knows is aware, O Prophet tell them Give that you have the blessings of your Lord If illuminating arguments have reached from the side Whoever saw them with open eyes, did good for himself and the one who remained blind, did it in his favor You did wrong and I am not your guardian and in this manner We repeat Our verses they explain it so that the infidels may not say that You have learned these things from the book And so that we can be present for those who understand And do whatever your Lord commands His advocacy comes to you from the other side Have no god except the Almighty And turn your back on the polytheists, and if Allah Had they wanted, these people would not have committed shirk and Prophet, We have appointed you as guardian over them. I did not do it and neither are you their inspector and Those who believe in this Mushrik other than Allah do not say bad things to them that this too Don’t misunderstand Allah by being disrespectful Saying this, we have recorded the deeds of every Ummah then you have done well in their eyes Let them return to their Lord Then he will tell them what he is They used to do this and these people were under the influence of Allah They swear strictly that if they have any If a sign comes we will surely believe in it Give me because all the signs are with Allah only and momin what do you know about this So such unfortunate ones are they that they have signs Even if they come, they still do not have faith and we If we turn our hearts and eyes upside down then it will seem like I did not believe in this Quran for the first time We won’t bring them again and we’ll leave them be we keep on getting carried away in our arrogance and if we Even angels and dead people could be brought down by them. They would start chatting and we would share all the things with them. Even if you were to bring it in front of me, still this faith We were not going to bring it but Allah wanted it The thing is, it’s often naive and Like the devil we have created humans and jinns That deception had made every prophet an enemy to give each other the love in our hearts I used to keep posting things that I had said and if you If god wanted he wouldn’t have done this Leave them and whatever they desire two and he used to do such things also so that People do not have faith in the afterlife, their hearts Be trustful of their words and they like them and started doing the same work he used to do Say: Am I any other judge besides Allah? I should look for you though she has clearly pointed you towards me I have sent a fun book and those who to whom We have given the Book, the Torah, and to whom We know that this is from your Lord It has been revealed so you should never doubt it Do not be among the people and your Lord that the words are full of truth and justice No one is going to change his words and he he listens, he knows, and often the people who live on the ground But they are happy, they are misguided if you follow their words If you believe then he will show you the path of Allah we will forget this just by following pride and Your arrows are just speculation The Almighty knows best those who have strayed from his path and from him too Those who are walking on the path are well aware the thing on which the name of Allah is mentioned at the time of Jabaah if you had faith in His verses if yes then eat it and what is the reason Whatever the name of Allah is invoked on, Do not eat it, although it contains many things They have declared each one of them haram for you of course they shouldn’t be eaten but in that condition that they have enough food You become ignorant and many people misunderstand Understanding people from the desires of your self There is no doubt that such people are being misled which is beyond the limits set by Allah Your God goes away very quickly and knows every kind of visible and hidden Give an argument about crime to those who commit crime He will almost certainly be punished for his deeds and Anything on which Allah’s name is not taken Do not eat it because eating it is a sin and Satan People keep this thing in their Rafi’s hearts to pick a fight with you and if you If people follow their word then of course you will too Whoever was dead first became a polytheist, then We brought him to life and gave him light through which he could move among the people roams around somewhere, he could be like that person who Lying in the dark and having to get out of it Similarly, the infidels who are practicing it cannot He seems good to them and hence Like this we have arrested the biggest criminals in every locality gave him a chance to keep doing deceit in it and Those dishonest people who do this, their loss is who has it and are unaware of it and when they have When a verse comes, they say that the kind of Risalah was given to the Prophets of Allah when Until we get the same kind of blessing Never will we believe in this, only Allah I know very well what is the chance for a prophet And to whom should He bestow His prophethood who People commit crimes against them in the eyes of Allah You will be subjected to humiliation and the punishment will be severe, therefore that if someone used to be dishonest then Allah wants his chest to give instructions He opens the door to Islam and gives freedom to whomever he wants to mislead him, his chest is tight and suffocated It seems as if he is climbing to the sky This is how Allah is to those who have faith you do not bring it, he sends punishment and this is your There is a straight path to God for those who are careful We are going to reveal Our verses for them I have openly stated it for them In the reward of good deeds, there is safety in the hands of God is his house and he is his friend and the day He will gather all the jinns and say Oh planet Jinnat you have done much better than humans If you gain benefits then what is in humans If there are friends they will say that God we are one kept gaining benefits from others and ultimately You arrived on time for us I had decided, may Allah bless you now The place is hell, you will burn in it forever But whatever Allah wishes is surely yours The Almighty is wise and aware, and so is We punish the wrongdoers for their deeds, which they we used to do it, we will make each other closer Is the tribe of jinns and humans yours? No prophet from amongst you has come near I would recite my verses to you and by your presence on this day They used to scare us by saying that God I confess my crimes and those people The worldly life had deceived me And now he himself has given testimony on himself that O Prophet, these prophets kept coming, they used to disbelieve And the books kept getting revealed so that Your Lord is not such that destroy them with oppression and make them live there people should not know anything and everyone Balha deeds are fixed and the work which is done in this People do this, Allah is not unaware of them and Your Lord is independent, Sahib There is a mercy, if it wishes, then O my servant, I can destroy you Do it, and after you whoever you want Make me your successor just like you Something created from other people’s races There is no doubt that the promise made to you will It is about to be completed and you are grateful to Allah You can’t tell people that you are in your place be implemented i would be implemented in my place I am close to you, you will get to know that There is some doubt whose home will be heaven in the end not that the mushriks will not succeed and this People are the things created by Allah Allah has a special place in agriculture and cattle decide your share and take care of yourself They say to the false that this part is from Allah and this is about our Shari i.e. idols which the part that belongs to their bodies is cannot go towards Allah and the part which It belongs to Allah towards their bodies can it be possible that these people give bad orders Similarly, many mushriks have their own body i.e. The devils killed their children has done well to put so that they Throw them into hell and punish them with their religion let them do evil and if Allah wills he If you don’t do that then leave them to find out And their lies and their thoughts also say this it is forbidden to breed cattle and farm it is No one should eat except the person whom We love, and The hawks are such that it is easy to climb on their backs It is forbidden and the cattle are so on whom the name of Allah is not mentioned while answering All this is a lie to Allah and they are close to him he will avenge their lies and also says that the child which is in the womb of these cattle It’s only for our men and our It is forbidden for women to eat it, and if she If a child is dead, everybody is a part of it That means both men and women can eat it and eat it close by.

The “social media burner method” involves creating a new TikTok account and engaging with drop shipping-related content to get inspiration and product ideas for your own store from the algorithm.
Two key elements to validate a potential product are to check the product’s order volume to gauge demand and to review existing ratings and reviews to ensure it has good customer satisfaction.

Startup costs can be as low as $50-$100 compared to the average $40,000 for a new business.

A winning product should have strong market demand, solve a problem or be an evergreen product, have a high perceived value, a “wow” factor, and high-profit margins (aim for 3-5 times cost). Avoid easily breakable or malfunctioning items like glass or electronics. It’s also important to validate your product through Shopify reviews and order volumes.
How can I find trending or potentially successful products for dropshipping?
Several methods can help you find good dropshipping products. The “social media burner method” involves creating a new social media account (e.g., TikTok) and engaging with content related to dropshipping. Social media algorithms will then show you trending products. You can also use Shopify apps like Zendrop to filter for winning products or use platforms like dropship.io to see which companies are currently making sales.
Why is Shopify recommended as a platform for dropshipping?
Shopify is recommended due to its beginner-friendly interface and cost-effectiveness. It offers numerous plug-and-play apps that simplify setting up and managing a dropshipping store.

Additionally, it provides tools for domain registration, currency, location, and language setups, payment gateways and shipping rates.
What are the different types of online stores you can build for dropshipping and which performs best?
You can build a niche store, a general store, or a one-product store. One-product stores are highlighted as performing very well because they focus on marketing and selling a single killer product, which can simplify operations and scaling.
What are some important branding aspects to consider for a dropshipping business?
Branding should clarify the problem your products solve, create an emotional connection with your target audience, and establish a consistent tone. You can use brand archetypes (like the lover, adventurer, or caregiver) to inform your branding and use free tools like my storybrand.com and Shopify’s Hatchful for logo creation. Filling your website with content, lifestyle photos, testimonials and user-generated content (UGC) is also very important.
How do I create an irresistible offer and increase my sales?
To create an irresistible offer, use urgency and scarcity tactics and sell the dreams and desires of your customers by framing your product as a solution to a problem rather than just selling a product. Offer incentives like package rates or buy-one-get-one promotions to encourage more purchases. The number one thing is to make sure that there is a market, a hungry crowd, who need the product you are selling.
What are the key marketing strategies for dropshipping, and how do I use them effectively?
The main marketing strategies are organic content, paid ads, and email marketing. For organic content, research viral videos and replicate their formula. Create hooks in the first three seconds of any video. For paid ads, use resources like the TikTok Creator Center and Meta ad library to identify top-performing ads. For email marketing, use lead magnets (like discounts or giveaways) to build your email list and send regular newsletters and promotions.

These articles primarily cover recent developments and initiatives within Saudi Arabia, alongside some international news.┬аDomestically, the focus includes the Kingdom’s economic growth and diversification efforts aligned with Vision 2030, such as rising credit ratings, development projects, and the launch of architectural and cultural initiatives. Social and religious aspects are highlighted through the opening of Ramadan exhibitions, the renovation of historical mosques, and efforts to support pilgrims. International news touches on the conflict in Gaza, US strikes against Houthis in Yemen, and global economic trends, including oil prices and inflation.
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030: Economic Development Strategies
The sources highlight several economic development efforts and strategies in Saudi Arabia.
Vision 2030 is a central framework for economic development, aiming to create a thriving society with a vital economy. This vision emphasizes sustainable development and involves large-scale investments in basic infrastructure, industrial and service facilities. The goal is to reach a prosperous society and a dynamic economy by 2030, creating a suitable environment for citizen employment, nurturing talents, and capitalizing on significant investment opportunities.
A key aspect of Saudi Arabia’s economic development is the diversification of the economy, particularly by growing the non-oil sector. This diversification is aimed at balancing the risks associated with reliance on oil revenues. The Kingdom is undertaking an economic transformation that requires a focus on diversification, increased innovation, and integration with global markets to achieve its goals.
Efforts to improve economic performance are expected to positively impact the quality of life. This includes investments in infrastructure such as transportation and housing, as well as reforms in the health and education sectors. These reforms are intended to support sustainable development, enhance global competitiveness, and develop human resources.
Saudi Arabia’s high credit rating is seen as a factor that strengthens its position as a reliable investment destination, thereby enhancing its role as a key economic center in the region. The stable future outlook for the Kingdom’s credit rating reflects the ongoing progress in economic and social development, as well as the expanding non-oil sector and increased local capital formation.
Initiatives are also in place to support small economic opportunities. The “Basta” initiative, in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing and regional municipalities, aims to support and empower street vendors by organizing and licensing designated locations and providing training programs. This initiative seeks to support eligible categories, including beneficiaries of social security, by providing sustainable small economic opportunities and supporting micro and very small projects.
Furthermore, the potential development of the Al-Rossen League clubs in the Al-Kharj region is anticipated to bring significant economic, social, media, and cultural momentum to the area, suggesting a focus on leveraging sports for broader development.
The sources generally portray a concerted effort towards economic development in Saudi Arabia, guided by Vision 2030 and encompassing diversification, strategic investments, and support for various levels of economic activity.
Saudi Arabia’s “A+” Credit Rating: Impacts and Factors
Saudi Arabia’s credit rating has been a significant aspect of its recent economic landscape, with several notable developments highlighted in the sources.
Recent Upgrades and Current Rating:
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) raised Saudi Arabia’s credit rating to “A+”. This rating applies to both local and foreign currencies and comes with a stable future outlook.
This “A+” rating is considered a high grade by S&P, indicating that Saudi Arabia possesses high creditworthiness. The next higher rating from S&P is “AA-“, with “AAA” being the highest possible.
It is worth noting that S&P is one of the three major international credit rating agencies, along with Moody’s and Fitch, that provide impartial credit assessments.
Positive Impacts of the Credit Rating:
The improved credit rating is expected to significantly enhance investor confidence in the Saudi market.
It increases international trust in Saudi Arabia’s economic stability and strength.
This higher rating enables more investments in infrastructure and development projects within the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia becomes a more attractive destination for foreign investors, particularly in non-oil sectors such as mining, technology, and tourism.
The upgraded rating is also anticipated to boost the capital market through the development of the local capital market and by increasing investment opportunities.
A strong credit rating like “A+” generally lowers the costs of obtaining loans and financing for the country.
Factors Contributing to the Positive Rating:
The consistent international upgrades in Saudi Arabia’s credit rating over the past few years reflect the success of the Kingdom’s economic approach.
The adoption of structural reforms has played a crucial role in this positive assessment.
The maintenance of prudent financial policies contributes to financial sustainability and the strength of the Kingdom’s financial position.
The stable future outlook reflects the ongoing progress in economic and social development, the expansion of the non-oil sector, and increased local capital formation.
Importance of Credit Ratings:
Credit rating agencies like S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch provide assessments that help understand a country’s economic strengths and weaknesses. These assessments are often reflected in reports from international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
Creditors utilize these ratings to evaluate the risks associated with lending to a country and to determine the appropriate interest rates for such loans.
In summary, Saudi Arabia’s recent credit rating upgrade to “A+” by Standard & Poor’s signifies strong creditworthiness and is expected to have numerous positive impacts on the Kingdom’s economy, primarily by enhancing investor confidence and attracting further investments, which aligns with the broader economic development goals outlined in Vision 2030.
Yemen: Houthi Attacks and US Response
The sources discuss Houthi attacks in Yemen, specifically in the context of responses to American actions and the targeting of vital waterways.
Here’s a breakdown of the information from the sources:
Houthi attacks are occurring in response to American attacks.
A US defense official, speaking anonymously to Reuters, denied claims of any Houthi attack bearing the name “Truman”, stating they have no knowledge of such an attack.
Hegseth from Fox News stated that the campaign against the Houthis will continue “relentlessly” until the Houthis stop attacking ships and planes. He indicated that the current campaign will end once the Houthis cease these attacks, but until then, it will persist without let-up.
Saf highlighted that the core issue is stopping the targeting of ships and assets in the vital water passage to ensure the return of normal movement. This is described as a matter of core national interest for the United States.
It is alleged that Iran has been assisting the Houthis for a period of time.
In summary, the sources indicate that Houthi attacks are taking place in Yemen, prompting a response from the United States which includes military action. The primary concern for the US appears to be the disruption of maritime traffic in a critical water passage due to these attacks.
Saudi Arabia: Defining its Architectural Identity
The sources indicate that the Crown Prince has launched the Saudi Architecture Map featuring 19 styles. This initiative signifies a focus on the architectural landscape of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi architecture is described as a blend of a rich historical heritage and contemporary design, aiming to achieve a balance between the past and the present while improving the quality of life. The goal is for Saudi architecture to become a global source of inspiration for innovation in architectural design.
Furthermore, Saudi architecture is intended to enhance the Kingdom’s architectural diversity and support the improvement of the urban landscape in its cities, as well as enable local capabilities. It is expected to contribute significantly to the national economy, with projections of over 8 billion riyals in cumulative gross domestic product and the creation of more than 34,000 direct and indirect job opportunities in related sectors such as tourism and hospitality.
Efforts to implement Saudi architecture are being undertaken through partnerships between various entities, including engineering offices, developers, and government agencies. There is a focus on ensuring the highest standards of quality and sustainability, with design studios providing the necessary engineering support. Additionally, engineering workshops and guidance will be provided to train engineers and designers to develop local talent. The source also mentions Eastern Najdi architecture as one specific style.
In summary, the launch of the Saudi Architecture Map with 19 styles by the Crown Prince is a significant step towards defining and promoting Saudi Arabia’s unique architectural identity, which blends historical heritage with modern design principles, contributes to economic development, and involves collaborative efforts for high-quality and sustainable implementation.
Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Blockade and Aid Prevention
The sources highlight a severe and worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. This crisis is characterized by the continuous closure of border crossings and the prevention of entry of humanitarian aid, goods, and fuel into the sector.
Key aspects of the crisis as described in the sources include:
Food and Water Scarcity: Gaza is experiencing a food and water crisis amidst the closure of crossings and the ongoing blockade. The lack of essential goods and food supplies in the markets is compounded by rising prices.
Prolonged Closure of Crossings: The Kerem Abu Salem crossing, located southeast of the Gaza Strip, has been closed by the Israeli army for the fifteenth consecutive day. This continued closure exacerbates the suffering of citizens, particularly during the month of Ramadan.
Disruption of Essential Services: The tight blockade has left no room for normal life in Gaza, effectively turning it into a large prison under siege. The disruption has led to a paralysis of vital sectors, including transportation, and has stopped the work of bakeries and fuel supplies.
Hindrance of Movement and Access: The closure prevents citizens’ movement and their ability to reach hospitals, medical centers, and workplaces, depriving thousands of citizens, employees, and workers of access to their livelihoods.
Prevention of Aid and Supplies: The ongoing prevention of the entry of humanitarian aid and essential goods is a central feature of the crisis. This is occurring for the fifteenth consecutive day.
Impact on Basic Rights: The situation in Gaza has deprived people of their most basic rights.
Water Crisis: The sector is suffering from a severe water shortage, impacting both drinking water and water for domestic use.
Targeting Humanitarian Efforts: The Ministry [presumably a Palestinian ministry] considers the systematic closure policy and the prevention of providing aid to millions of Palestinians as extensions of the occupation’s arbitrary measures. It views these actions as an attempt by the occupation to monopolize the Palestinian people and conceal its serious violations of international law and agreements.
Impact on UNRWA: The ministry also noted the reduction of tasks and roles of international organizations, especially UNRWA, and the prevention of them from providing aid.
Documenting Violations: The monitoring and documentation role of human rights organizations is ongoing amidst the continued prevention of humanitarian aid entry.
In summary, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is dire and intensifying due to the prolonged closure of crossings and the prevention of essential supplies, including food, water, fuel, and medical aid. These actions are severely impacting the daily lives and basic rights of the Palestinian population in Gaza.

Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hazmi, a professor of communication and media at King Saud University, explained that media is changing rapidly, with new means emerging, making it important to adapt content to obtain suitable outcomes. Hamdan Yassin Al-Lahyani, a broadcaster at the Holy Mosque studio, saw the need to launch initiatives for talented youth in media fields to build a skilled media generation.
Page 20: This page concludes Hamdan Yassin Al-Lahyani’s view on the need for youth initiatives in media. Ali Al-Ghamdi, a well-known television director, cautioned that today’s generation of recipients needs specialization in producing media content for each age group, unlike the previous generation. The page also includes the section “Unforgettable“.
Page 21: This page features two main articles. The first is about Al-Qiblatain Mosque in Madinah, a historical mosque significant to visitors for its connection to the Prophet’s era and the direction of prayer. The second article discusses the popular markets in Najran as a living memory of a bygone era, reflecting the social life, economic patterns, daily life, customs, principles, values, and traditions of those societies. Besides their commercial role in showcasing local products and meeting various needs, they preserve the history and stories of the Najran community, serving as a place for people to gather, exchange news and stories, and share experiences.
Page 22: This page continues the article about the popular markets in Najran, emphasizing their appeal to visitors and tourists interested in the region’s heritage. It highlights the presence of the Janabi market, as well as shops for leather, handicrafts, and traditional clothing. Another article mentions that science and culture enthusiasts find their interest in the library, likely referring back to the Haram Mosque Library. There is also a note about honoring the Director of Media in the Makkah region and a picture with the caption mentioning colleague Hani Al-Lahyani with broadcaster Yassin Al-Lahyani in the meeting. A small text notes “diligent efforts to achieve success and development“.
Page 23: This page features a picture of worshippers praying in a mosque with the caption “distinguished architectural design“. Another picture shows a market scene with the caption “important commercial role played by the old markets“. Text below this states “markets reflect the daily life patterns, customs and traditions“. The page also reports that Sheikh Dr. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Al-Sheikh, the Minister of Islamic Affairs, inaugurated the exhibition “Atyaf” of the Kingdom’s projects in ╪з┘Д╪┤┘К╪┤╪з┘Ж ┘И╪з┘Д┘З┘Ж╪п, attended by the Ambassador of the Kingdom to ╪з┘Д╪┤┘К╪┤╪з┘Ж, Dr. Hamad Al-Gifal, and the Ambassador of India.
Page 24: This page contains articles about mosques in different parts of the world named after Saudi kings. One article discusses the naming of Faisal Mosque in Pakistan in honor of King Faisal, recognizing his significant role in funding its construction and strengthening relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, as well as his support for Islamic projects. Another article introduces King Fahd Mosque in Argentina, located in Buenos Aires, as one of the most prominent Islamic landmarks in Latin America and one of the largest mosques in Argentina and South America, built with the support of the Saudi government in honor of King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for his role in enhancing relations between the two countries and supporting Islamic causes.
Page 25: This page delves into the experience of students seeking knowledge in Haram. It notes that while the desire to learn is prevalent, it often arises early in the children of scholars but can be delayed for others due to family obstacles. A significant portion of students come from non-Arab backgrounds, requiring them to first learn Arabic to understand lectures. Younger students or those who didn’t learn Arabic in their home countries start by reading the Quran before attending schools run by members of their community in Makkah, where they are taught Arabic with the help of books in their native language. After overcoming these initial difficulties, these students join their academic studies in Haram. Some students, not being of the same status as scholars, may remain with them to further their knowledge.
Page 26: This page continues describing the educational environment in Haram, mentioning that lectures are open and free to all, even for those just curious, who are expected to sit at the back. Those intending to study regularly choose a spot between acquaintances. After a few lectures, the teacher notices their presence and might speak to them at the end, though there is no formal registration. A teacher might even visit a student if they are absent, emphasizing that learning in Haram is not compulsory.
Page 27: This page begins a section titled “Ramadan Days” with a piece called “Planks and Nails” discussing ships as a means of transportation that has brought peoples closer, increased trade, and boosted economies. It explains the principle of buoyancy based on density and mentions that the first ship was built by Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), as mentioned in the Quran (Surah Al-Qamar: 13), which describes it as being made of “planks and nails” (╪п╪│╪▒ meaning nails). It also points out that while ships were initially stationary, God has enabled them to be moved by machines or wind.
Page 28: This page continues the discussion about ships, noting the design of ships with a “U” shape to help them stay afloat on the sea surface. It reiterates that the first ship was built by Prophet Noah, taught by God and made of wood and nails. The page then shifts to historical context with a section about the appointment of Muhammad bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi as governor of Makkah during the reign of Al-Walid bin Yazid. Although his appointment was intended to establish order, the political situation was unstable due to internal conflicts within the Umayyad dynasty, which affected the central government’s authority.
Page 29: This page continues discussing the Umayyad era, noting that while Makkah was not directly affected by security disturbances, it was not immune to the impact of the internal Umayyad conflicts. The governors appointed from Damascus played a key role in maintaining security, organizing Hajj affairs, and ensuring stability, but their positions changed with the shifting power dynamics in Damascus.
Page 30: This page concludes the historical overview of Makkah during the Umayyad period, stating that the reign of Al-Walid did not witness radical reforms in Makkah and was more of a transitional phase reflecting the political struggles as the Umayyad state began to weaken in its final years. While Makkah did not suffer directly from security unrest, it experienced administrative instability due to the central government’s weakness, leading to frequent changes in the governors of the Hijaz according to the fluctuating political landscape in Damascus. Therefore, Al-Walid’s rule in Makkah was less about achievements and more about reflecting the growing weakness within the Umayyad state.
Page 31: This page features financial and economic news. The main headline announces that the Kingdom has obtained numerous global upgrades in its credit ratings, reflecting the continuous positive trend in the Saudi economy and the effectiveness of the implemented structural reforms and financial planning policies that enhance financial sustainability and the strength of the Kingdom’s financial position. In this regard, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) agency raised the Kingdom’s sovereign credit rating in local and foreign currencies to A+ with a stable outlook.
Page 32: This page continues the report on the Kingdom’s credit rating upgrade by Standard & Poor’s to A+, emphasizing that this high rating signifies a strong creditworthiness. The article explains the rating scale and mentions that S&P had given the Kingdom the same rating in the previous February. It highlights the importance of these ratings and those from other international agencies like Moody’s, as they provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the national economy, aiding in the implementation of SWOT analysis to enhance strengths and minimize weaknesses for the benefit of the Kingdom.
Page 33: This page further explains the significance of credit ratings, stating that creditors use these ratings to assess the risks of a country defaulting on its debts and to determine the interest rates they will charge. A strong credit rating (e.g., A) means lower borrowing costs for the country.
Page 34: This page discusses the implications of credit ratings on a country’s ability to borrow and the associated costs, emphasizing that a high credit rating allows a country to obtain financing at more favorable terms within the accepted international standards.
Page 35: This page presents economic data, noting that consumer prices in the Kingdom rose by 1.0% in the latest reading, mainly due to a 25.5% increase in meat and poultry prices, a 3.7% increase in food and beverage prices, and a 3.9% rise in the prices of miscellaneous personal goods and services, driven by a 26.7% increase in jewelry and watches. The hospitality sector also saw a 0.8% increase due to higher restaurant and hotel prices, while higher education fees rose by 4.3%. On the other hand, some sectors experienced price declines, with transportation prices falling by 1.5%, influenced by a 2.4% decrease in vehicle purchase prices and a 2.5% drop in furniture and household equipment prices.
Page 36: This page continues the discussion of the Saudi economy, noting the drop in furniture and household equipment prices by 2.5%. It concludes by stating that oil production is a major contributor to the Kingdom’s economy and generates significant revenue for the state. The page then introduces a new section titled “Kingdom’s Economy.. From ‘Contraction’ to ‘Growth’” by Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmohsen Al-Faraj.
Page 37: This page features an article by Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmohsen Al-Faraj discussing the Saudi economy’s shift from “contraction” to “growth”. It also includes a separate piece about crude oil futures recording a slight rise in the last trading session of the past week, yet still hovering near their lowest levels in several years due to ongoing economic pressures and demand forecasts, potentially contributing to continued downward pressure on prices. Hassan Qafterid, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fawaz Company, also noted that fears of a potential recession in the United States played a significant role in increasing market uncertainty, along with concerns related to US tariffs affecting major oil market participants like China.
Page 37: This page continues the discussion on oil prices, stating that the persistence of these factors is expected to reinforce negative sentiment, potentially limiting any significant increase in oil prices, especially given the possibility of slower economic growth and declining demand from major economies. The oil market remains subject to volatility, particularly due to geopolitical risks and their impact on investor sentiment. Developments in the Iranian nuclear talks are also seen as a crucial factor influencing future market direction, as a reduction in sanctions could significantly increase oil supply, further contributing to downward pressure on prices.
Page 38: This page continues the analysis of the oil market, noting that US crude oil production is expected to reach new record levels this year, which could put additional pressure on prices, especially in April. OPEC+’s continued plans to increase production could also add supply pressure unless demand successfully absorbs the extra volumes. Officials from oil companies gathered in Houston last week learned that the agenda of US President Donald Trump, who supports fossil fuels, represents a negative aspect.
Page 39: This page discusses the positive impact of improved economic performance on the Kingdom, noting that investments in infrastructure, transportation, housing, and healthcare contribute to improving the quality of life. Reforms in the education sector also support sustainable development and enhance human resources. The Kingdom’s high credit rating strengthens its position as a reliable investment destination, enhancing its role as a leading economic center in the region. The future holds many opportunities, and the Kingdom is moving steadily towards achieving economic transformation, with a focus on diversification, integration, innovation, and promoting a sustainable environment, which will make it a leading model in sustainable development and enhance its presence in global markets.
Page 40: This page contains classified advertisements, including a notice from a Yemeni national, Hajer Ali Mohammed, reporting the loss of his passport issued in Riyadh and requesting its return to the nearest Passport Department or the Yemeni Embassy in Riyadh. There is also a section titled “Demands to Strengthen Reforms in the Accounting Profession and Improve Audit and Review Processes“, reporting on a symposium hosted by the ICAEW in Riyadh where financial leaders, regulators, academics, and industry experts discussed the growing role of the accounting profession in maintaining investor confidence and financial transparency.
Page 41: This page continues the report on the symposium about the accounting profession. Participants agreed that accounting firms must move beyond regulatory compliance and integrate responsible institutional leadership into their culture effectively and clearly. Mohammed Taha, a partner at KPMG, pointed out a gap between professional ethical standards and their actual application, stating that leadership should prioritize the public interest and investors’ needs and have the ability to uncover unethical practices.
Page 42: This page continues the discussion from the accounting symposium. Mansour Mohammed Nour Al-Raboufi, Director of the Prophet’s Center for Sustainability and Climate at Sultan University in the Kingdom, mentioned his university’s aim to be the first certified carbon-free university in the Middle East and North Africa. He highlighted the lack of transparency in ethical governance among companies, noting that research shows very few companies clearly disclose their ethical principles on their websites in the Middle East and North Africa. He emphasized that companies should make ethical values an integral part of their operations instead of just having undeclared or partially available confidential policies.
Page 43: This page reports on the humanitarian suffering in Gaza, highlighting the ongoing siege and its severe impact on the population. It mentions the systematic closure policies that extend beyond bakeries and affect transportation and fuel sectors, disrupting citizens’ movement and access to hospitals and workplaces, depriving thousands of essential services. The siege has turned Gaza into a large prison, denying people their basic rights, leading to severe shortages of clean water and an increasing crisis in the use of contaminated water, as well as shortages of food and medicine.
Page 44: This page continues the report on Gaza, with the Palestinian Foreign Ministry affirming its follow-up on the repercussions of the Israeli occupation’s campaign against humanitarian aid organizations. The ministry called on the international community and relevant UN institutions to intervene to stop the occupation’s measures against these organizations working in the humanitarian field. In a press statement, the ministry expressed its serious concern about the measures taken by the Israeli occupation authorities against international humanitarian aid organizations in the occupied Palestinian territories, which create significant obstacles to their work.
Page 45: This page continues the report on the situation in Palestine, mentioning the recent exchange of prisoners. It emphasizes that the Israeli targeting aims to undermine the clear Palestinian identity. The orders to restrict access have not been limited to entering Al-Aqsa Mosque but extend to preventing any presence in the Old City and its surroundings, severely restricting Palestinians’ right to practice their religious rituals freely. These decisions are part of the occupation’s strategy for systematic demographic and geographic alteration of Jerusalem, intensifying forced displacement and continuous attacks and harassment of residents.
Page 46: This page further discusses the escalating concerns in Jerusalem during Ramadan due to Israeli policies. It calls for Arab and international stances to confront these violations and ensure Palestinians’ right to access their holy sites. The Israeli policy of displacement, especially during Ramadan, reflects plans aimed at Judaizing the holy city and imposing complete control over it. Israeli displacement decisions are a blatant violation of international laws and conventions that prohibit forced displacement and racial discrimination.
Page 47: This page elaborates on the Israeli actions in Jerusalem, stating that according to the Fourth Geneva Convention, the occupation is prohibited from forcibly transferring residents from their lands or imposing collective penalties. UN resolutions affirm the Palestinian right to access religious holy sites freely. However, Israeli authorities continue to disregard these laws, exploiting weak international political stances to continue their repressive policies against Jerusalemites. The impact of displacement extends beyond preventing access to Al-Aqsa Mosque, significantly affecting their daily lives, with many losing their jobs and social connections. Targeting influential figures aims to weaken any societal resistance to Judaization policies.
Page 48: This page highlights the continued steadfastness of Jerusalemites despite the ongoing repression and their efforts to challenge displacement decisions through popular solidarity and community cohesion. The steadfast individuals ( ╪з┘Д┘Е╪▒╪з╪и╪╖┘И┘Ж) at Al-Aqsa Mosque remain a living model of resistance amidst increasing Palestinian calls to intensify visits to the Mosque and the Old City. Additionally, Israeli occupation forces launched raids and arrests in several Palestinian cities, while continuing to burn homes in Jenin and Tulkarm in the northern occupied West Bank. Local sources reported the martyrdom of Maher Abdul Salam from Sarata village west of Salfit, after being chased by Israeli forces near the wall in Al-Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem. Israeli forces also raided the cities of Nablus and Qalqilya, as well as the new Askar and Balata camps in Nablus.
Page 49: This page continues reporting on the Israeli raids, stating that occupation forces raided Askar refugee camp at dawn, arresting 6 Palestinians east of Nablus in the towns of Beit Furik and Beit Dajan, which led to clashes involving the firing of sound bombs and tear gas. Israeli forces also raided the village of Odla south of Nablus, arresting student Ibaa Amar from An-Najah National University in Rafidia, west of the city, and also arrested Jihad Khousri and Fahmi Al-Jaghoub after raiding their homes in Beitah, south of the city. The page then shifts to “Burning Homes in Tulkarm and Jenin“, detailing the intensification of Israeli forces’ aggression on Tulkarm and its camp, including raiding commercial shops, searches, and setting fire to and detonating homes in Nur Shams camp. Local sources reported two military vehicles of the occupation stationed around Sweika roundabout in the northern neighborhood of the city, where Israeli soldiers obstructed the movement of vehicles and residents, especially after the Taraweeh and Isha prayers, checking IDs, detaining youth in the field, amidst the firing of sound bombs and live ammunition to intimidate residents. Occupation forces also raided several commercial shops on Sweika Street, conducting thorough searches and interrogating workers before forcing their closure, and arrested Palestinian Muath Abu Samla after raiding his home.
Page 51: This page reports on a Syrian incident where a scrap metal collector caused a rocket to explode in Latakia, western Syria, resulting in the death of 16 people according to the Civil Defense. Another news item states that Aleppo International Airport will resume operations tomorrow. In the “Political” section, it mentions that the American strikes came after the Houthi threat to attack ships (Reuters). Below this, there is a report that earlier this month, the United States re-designated the “Ansar Allah” movement (“Houthis”) as a “foreign terrorist organization” and banned any American dealings with it.
Page 52: This page focuses on cultural and entertainment news, specifically about the historical drama “Al-Zafer“. Actor Jabran Al-Jabran expressed his happiness in participating in the series, describing it as unique and different from previous works, blending imagination and reality and drawing its stories from various historical narratives and events. He praised Abdullah Hazazi, the director, and thanked him for his support in producing the work for radio and television. Al-Jabran also revealed that Dr. Rashid Al-Shamrani was a key reason for his joining the series, as he provided encouragement and support. He also thanked performance coach Rashid Al-Warthan for his outstanding role as “Khabalan” and acknowledged the challenges faced by director Sheikh Najib Saif in accurately portraying the details of the historical period, overcoming the difficulty of time constraints, terrain, and filming.
Page 53: This page continues the discussion about the drama series “Al-Zafer,” with Jabran Al-Jabran adding that the cast includes an elite of Saudi actors from various regions of the Kingdom, aiming to present a comprehensive work that blends authenticity and renewal. Among the prominent names in the series are Muhammad, Marwa Muhammad, Ghada Al-Mal, Azzam Al-Nimri as “Jaber,” Rahi Fahd as “Mashoura,” and others. The script was written by Othman Juhi, who ensured a mix of imagination and reality while addressing social issues such as tribal conflicts, land disputes, farms, trade caravans, and protecting villages and markets. Jabran concluded by noting that despite the work not yet being shown, there are widespread expectations of its great success in the upcoming period, with some critics seeing the focus on positives at this stage as necessary to support Saudi drama, which is witnessing noticeable development in the coming years with numerous productions.
Page 54: This page features news about the cultural scene. Sharifah Al-Nadi, the president, emphasized the importance of the Zahrani Club in gathering enthusiasts and providing a nurturing environment for practicing the hobby of reading and other hobbies under an official umbrella, facilitating their registration and fostering support, development, and motivation for creative ideas. Ruby Al-Ghamdi from the club pointed out that the club will be a source of inspiration and creativity through books, providing members with discovery factors. Hanan Mar’i added that the club contributes to promoting the habit of reading among individuals in society and developing intellectual skills, in addition to holding cultural events, workshops, and hosting writers and authors to enrich the members’ experience.
Page 55: This page introduces “Video Art.. and Contemporary Art Movements,” considering it one of the most prominent contemporary artistic trends that emerged from the intersection of arts and technology. Video art has managed to break traditional barriers in art and present a new human language carrying philosophical and experimental meanings. With the rapid developments witnessed by the artistic scene, the question arises: How has video art flourished in the artistic arena? Since its launch in the sixties of the last century, video art came as an innovative artistic experiment aiming to explore the temporal and spatial dimensions of the moving image, thus liberating itself from the constraints of traditional cinematic forms and representing new windows where technology intertwines with artistic expression, providing artists with a new canvas for creativity and experimentation through modern techniques.
Page 56: This page continues the discussion about the rise of video art in the local and international artistic scene and art galleries. This art form has faced challenges, as specialized artistic infrastructure and academic curricula were not always available, while audiences were more accustomed to traditional art forms. However, change began to appear with the openness of cultural institutions and their support, along with the organization of specialized events aimed at shedding light on this trend. The Damman International Video Art Forum is mentioned as a living example of the efforts made to establish this art in the Arab world, bringing together local and international artists and critics in experimental works that combine modern thought and technical experimentation, highlighting the potential of video art.
Page 57: This page describes the traditional architecture of villages in Asir, characterizing them as open museums that embody the cultural identity of the region, offering visitors an exceptional journey and presenting a living reflection of the daily lives of ancestors, contributing to interactive experiences that harmonize with the demands of the era. The page details the traditional house design with interconnected rooms like bedrooms, kitchen, and majlis, plus interior courtyards as the heart of daily life. It mentions the skill of the region’s inhabitants in adapting inherited techniques within advanced construction possibilities over decades, evident in the wall design using a mixture of stone and mud resistant to rain, and considering the direction of openings in the architectural sun.
Page 58: This page concludes the description of Asir’s traditional architecture, quoting architect Farid who affirms that the simplicity of the clay villages is not a deficiency of creativity but rather a witness to the heritage.

Lata Mangeshkar Live | 1970 – 2002 | Part 1
The Original Text
How do I introduce that person whose name is an introduction in itself? How do I introduce that person whose voice is not only the voice of the country but the voice of the whole world, undoubtedly a voice that should be called the Voice of the Millennium in its truest sense? How do I introduce him when the music, the melody, the rhythm, everything begins and ends with his name? How do I introduce him who has won countless titles in the world, has set countless records? How can this priceless gem be valued [music]? I neither have the mind nor the words to answer these questions. Whenever people from our neighboring country meet us, they say that we have everything that you have in India, except two things that are missing: Taj Mahal and Lata Mangeshkar [praise]. Such a great achievement is a wonder in itself, but I want to try to describe the qualities of Lata ji in my small capacity. Lata ji, please forgive me for the scene. I do n’t know if you people have ever seen the sitar up close or up close. There are several main strings on the sitar which when pulled and fingers are moved on them, the sitar starts playing, notes come out from them, sound comes out. There are 10-12 more strings below these main strings, some thin ones which are generally called sympathetic strings and whenever the sitar player wants to hear their tune or sound, he plucks them with his little finger and sound comes out from them but it often happens that if the main string is pulled in such a way that its note comes out right, then these sympathetic strings start playing on their own. These sympathetic strings start playing because there is so much strength in that note, there is so much purity that due to them these strings start playing on their own. In Lata ji’s tune, in Lata ji’s singing, in Lata ji’s voice, I believe that there is so much strength, so much purity that it makes the strings of the human soul vibrate. I have another guess that there is a very amazing and strange bond between the notes of music and the divine and if there is such a string Or is there any such string which ties the soul of man with the god, then the name of that string, that string is Lata Mangeshkar Ladies and gentlemen, I bow down to the form of Saraswati herself and with great humility I request and invite Lata ji to come before us and tie our and your souls with the god Ladies and gentlemen, respected Lata Mangeshkar [Music] [Praise] [ Music] Jee tu lala la la la There is a song of a door There is the flow of fun There is a song of love There is the flow of fun There is a song of love There is the flow of fun Life and nothing else is said There is a praise on love There is the flow of fun Life and nothing else is your and my story A song of love [Music] [Music] [Praise] La la la la la la la la There is something to lose after gaining something There is something to gain after losing Life means to come and go I have to steal a lifetime from the life of two things Life and nothing else is my story It’s a song of love [Music] [Praise] [Music] [Praise] [Music] [Praise] [Music] You are a loan of the river I am your bank You are my support I am your support There is an ocean in my eyes There is water of hope Life is nothing but yours and mine The story is that love is human life It is the flow of waves Life is nothing else, my story is a story of love [Praise] [Music] These people, these people, these people, these people, these people took my dupatta These people took my dupatta These people took my dupatta [Praise] [Music] Do n’t believe me, ask Bajwa, don’t believe me, my lover, don’t believe me, ask Bajwa who gave me the gold coin gaj dupatta Who gave me the Ashrafi gaj dupatta My dupatta, ho ho ji dupatta mine, dupatta mine Do n’t believe me, ask Rajwa, don’t believe me, ask Rajwa who gave me the pink color dupatta My life is drowning in pink, these people, these people [Music] Do n’t believe me, ask your father, don’t believe me, ask your father, don’t believe me [Music] Don’t believe me, ask your father, ask your father, I know who snatched my dupatta in the market, who snatched my dupatta in the market, these people, these people, these people took away my dupatta, these people took away my dupatta, my dupatta, my dupatta my brothers and sisters, some say 200 thousand, some say 2 lakh, some say 500, how many songs, in how many languages тАЛтАЛand what kinds of songs have you sung?

My signal from my heart will come, will come, the one who will come will come [Music] [Music] The lost youth searches for the destination The lost youth searches for the fish. It searches for a new shore without the fish. Who knows when will the boat of the heart reach the shore. Who knows how long will the boat of the heart reach the shore. The heart is at the signal from my heart. It will come, it will get the morsel, it will come. Sisters and brothers, these are the songs of the souls. The soul kept yearning, but the one who was to come did not come. When the yearning exceeded its limit, the soul became restless and began to wander. The eyes were waiting, the eyes were burning, and there was a thirst for a stranger in the heart. A thirst that perhaps will never be quenched, it will never be quenched. Holding my heart, I was awake. Listen to this one more immortal calling out to the stranger. Come, foreigner, I have been eating this for so long, my eyes have become wet.

I am in agony, saaj surre [Music] Go away, I have been standing here since so long, this time I have been standing here, parde [Prashant] [Music] Thirst This thirst kept increasing and turned into a flame And in these flames of waiting the soul started burning Perhaps the moth will make this fire its destination, considering it a lamp, perhaps the one who is not coming is drawn by the light of the burning heart, this triangular thirst is strange, moth on one side, lamp on one side, heart [ Music] [Music] Let’s give some day somewhere, come and see, who is your moth This is your destination, just come and see, moth, which is your destination? A lamp is moving somewhere in the heart [Music] I am not a dream or a tear, one painful tear, my love, give me [Music] Aamil, just come and see, moth, which is your destination?
