Adam was the first of his kind, a prototype, the first ever human being.

He was created from mud and

clay to become a species of flesh and bone. God animated life in him by His will and paired him with
Eve. Adam and Eve caused procreation of human race and became the first ever parents of the mankind.

In the world of today, where there are billions of human beings, the cycle of breeding is repeatedly
carried out. Parents who give birth to their child not only look after him and fulfill his requirements upto
his adolescence, they are also responsible for his proper upbringing as a useful citizen of the society. The
child’s basic necessities of food, education, medication and mental development are well taken care of by
his parents until he is well capable of accomplishing his needs all by himself. By the time when the child
has become a grown man with much in hand and a lot to achieve all by the mercy of care and
nourishment of his parents, the two turn feeble and hoary. They are in need of the similar care and
attention what they used to offer to their child. An offspring with sensibility and awareness, whether it be
a boy or girl, a son or daughter, is supposed to perform his duties to his parents more than what he
availed from them. It is his or her responsibility to look after them without showing any displeasure and
listening to them closely and attentively. A dutiful son is he who is always paying special attention to his
parents and willing to execute their commands considering that God’s will and pleasure is in serving
parents, as they are the reason of his existence and his holding whatever status he holds in the society.

Since the last couple of centuries and after the fall of Ottoman Empire in Turkey, Muslims lost their
grace, vigour and significance amongst global brethren. Moreover, Muslims have been so much
stigmatized during the last few years, especially after the terrible event of 9/11, which brought discredit
to Islamic fundamentalists, that the word of mouth blames every this and that on Islam. In spite of all
this, Islam is today’s fastest growing faith and the second largest practiced theology in the world. This
suggests that Islam today, just like in the days of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and the
Caliphate, being the divine path and God’s approved constitution for life, is under the siege of
conspiracy.

Muslim Ummah has been suffering through the insolence of Non-Muslim community, especially the
progeny of those antagonists of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) who always opposed the Holy
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) to the worst degree, not only verbally but militaristically and through
intrigues. They are present in this age as well and are assigned the task of defaming Islam all around the
world. Unfortunately, the Muslims are leading a life of unawareness, ignorance from the forthcoming
threats and full of craving to seek luxuries and comforts. Muslims have been depraved from their path
and the theory of their existence, which is going to be menacing to their survival. They strive for their
individual purposes instead of seeking mutual benefits as one nation. In the best interest of our survival,
it is vital and imperatively necessary for us to become one people once again so that Allah’s blessings be
upon us the Muslims. If we become one body with consolidation of our aims and closeness in our
thoughts like we used to be in the early days of Islam, no wonder we will be ruling the world and leading
all other human races once again.

Mankind has been through a process of continuous change and development since time of their stepping into
the world. Intelligence has been increasing day by day as well as the ability to ponder, which grooms with the
passage of time. Advancements in the field of science and technology have taken so many forms now that our
life-style is monumentally dependent on them. Importantly, man has also been able to undergo mental growth
quite excessively by the mercy of his ability to contemplate on the phenomena existing around.

The human instinct to seek awareness of the current events and knowledge of what is happening all around
the globe brought many resources into existence. These sources are called ‘media’ through which people
obtain information. There are two legitimate forms of media, print media and electronic media. Print media is
covered by newspapers, journals and magazines, which are available in black and white. Electronic media is
rather more extensive term, which includes television, radio, the internet etc. Information propagates by
means of these entities.

Ever since these sources of media have come into action, information on any certain issue has become easily
accessible. With the technological advancements having taken place, information on any event occurring in
one part of the world can be instantaneously available to a person living in other parts of the globe. This rapid
transference of facts demands credibility and truthfulness to be an integral part of the cliché. Besides, there is
a multitude of knowledge at the disposal of a learner or seeker of knowledge on the internet within reach.
That’s the reason why the aptitude level of a child of modern age is much greater than a mature man of
previous ages. Media has also been playing an important role in acquiring quality education obtainable
through all the means mentioned above. Hence, comforting life and becoming up-to-date is effortlessly
possible only because of the resources of media.

When we take a look around, everywhere we find people like us, belonging to the same kind – the mankind.
Sometimes children wonder why human beings rule the planet. Why do domestic animals and even wild
beasts submit to our will? The answer is simple; that no other species has got these three properties what we
have i.e. Curiosity, Wisdom and Innovation. By the mercy of these exceptional powers, all the other creatures
– from fierce and gigantic animals to massive and heavenly objects – surrender their head into our feet.
Exploitation of these abilities is called ‘Science’.

The word ‘science’ refers to knowing and exploring the hidden, the undiscovered and the unknown. Since the
time Archimedes discovered ‘Buoyancy’ to the invention of fastest sailing ships and fully submersible
submarines, science has been doing miracles all around. Consider what life would be if Michael Faraday – the
father of modern science – hadn’t unleashed the phenomenon of electricity. Adore the genius of Charles
Babbage whose courageous and curious being made it possible that computers have taken place in all walks
of life today providing us ultimate facilitation. Thank Graham Bell whose irrelevant experiment turned out to
be the revolutionary device called ‘the telephone’. It will be offensive not mentioning the services of Wright
Brothers – the inventors of aeroplane - who gave mankind wings to fly.

This is a remarkable journey the human race has been through and still goes on. Science has brought ease and
comfort to even an ordinary man’s life. The streak of valued inventions is there for every this and that to avail
and enjoy its benefits. This is a fruit in which everyone has his share. Science with all its remarkable
souvenirs is a blessing for all.

According to the definition comprehended in Civics, a group of people is said to be a society only when the
idea of their collaboration is unified. They live communally for they have one target, one scope set for the
future. A citizen is one belonging to such a group of people.

People living in a society or a country are classified into two types. One is ‘citizen’ and the other is ‘civilian’.
A civilian is a person who though lives in the state or country but he never participates in the greatest interests
of the society. His presence and absence doesn’t count at all; while a citizen is a person who is distinguished
amid the rest. He is not only a responsible man but also realizing his responsibility encourages others to
operate in the same manner. He is the caretaker of his people. He has his eyes open all the time in order to see
and keep the social rules and regulations abided well. A citizen is responsible enough – not by any
government but moved by internal impulse of self-consciousness and responsiveness – to help build his
society stronger without caring about others’ attitude towards it. He pays his dues regularly thinking of it his
duty. He serves his country by keeping an eye on those who cause lawlessness and spread anarchic to destroy
peace and stability of the society. He moreover promotes and propagates thoughts of patriotism.

A citizen is usually found rarely in a society for the majority of people living in a country are never taking
themselves as responsible. But still, the very few of the existing number of citizens is enough to keep the
constituents of a nation together. Their being is such a support and their activities are fruitful and beneficial
for all the others.

Man is born curious and imaginative. With these two powers and abilities he has been making a long road
journey to exploration of himself besides the secrets of the universe. Since the last two centuries, mankind has
developed themselves more than what they had done in a ten thousand years’ history. Many inventions have
been made along-with wonderful discoveries. Almost sixty years ago, a revolutionary change took place in
the species of inventions in the form of computers, which is still incommensurable to all.
Computers have taken man’s place in several places completely superseding his capabilities. Now-a-days,
computer literacy is the biggest requirement of the society from any person. In our country, there’s a
surmounting flood of computer courses provided and applied in different fields. No matter who you are, may
be a doctor or an engineer or any profession you may choose, there’s always a need for computers in your
way.
It is a psychological fact that younger people adapt things quickly. They get used to whatever they are taught.
That’s why many sophisticated schools provide computer training and know-how to their pupils in early
stages. Moreover it is emphasized that the computer education must be given regarding their needs. Almost
every department of our society is now depending on the use of computers, and they urge their employees to
obtain computer literacy through proper education. At some places, the management of reputed organizations
provides training facilities to their workers. Modern education system is based on on-line teaching and testing
methods, which enables students across the world to learn at their doorsteps.
Computers are nevertheless irresistible. Wise thinking is to become familiar with its usage as much as one can
so that he could best cope with the necessities of the modern age.
