Starting your GP?

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

This post is about the graduation project in FCIS...How will you start? 

The team, the idea, the supervisors & some general tips.

The Team

The whole GP journey begins with choosing your team. This phase is really important.

You need to choose those whom you'll be compatible with.

For a team to be formed, it usually goes through 3 stages:

1.     Getting together

2.     Struggling 

3.     Synergy

Maybe we'll talk about these in a separate post later isA.

Next comes the idea & the supervisors

The idea

• Research WELL
• Don’t just do anything, choose something that u'll be motivated to finish.
• Ask around a lot!

Remember: The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away.

The supervisors

Practically these are the TAs

There are 2 types...which to choose will depend upon the team.

If your team has a good leader, both will be fine. If not, go for the first type (leaders) you'll need that.

1-Leaders

Those actually lead the project. They help in everything; reading papers, debugging errors, dividing tasks, motivating the team...

Well known in our college :)

2-Supervisors

They help you technically more than anything else...They support you with information & helps with ideas & solutions for problems

The one thing you really need to learn -if you don't have it already- is to think positively :)

There is nothing that is 100% bad!

Remember: The cup is half full :)

During this -some how- long journey, you'll go through many situations where nothing but +ve thinking would help you out.

Now that you have a team, an idea & a supervisor...you're all set...Begin your 1 year marathon and have lots and lots of fun :)

Some Random Tips

• Begin early & do your BEST to stick to your deadlines.
• It helps a lot to work on prototypes...i.e.: do the whole job & enhance/update it later.
• A time plan may sometimes be ruined...don't give up! things don't always go as expected so give yourself some extra time for the job (just in case things didn't go as planned)
• When a certain road seems to lead to nowhere, don't just stick to it...try something different..Think outside the box! Based on personal experience...it may save you months not just days! We lost about 3 months in a task that was done in 2 weeks.
• Document your work from the beginning...It helps later...especially when no time is left.
• Presenting your work -generally- is really important...learn how to present it in a nice way (either it's the documentation or the presentations you regularly do in seminars). Remember: people don't see except what you allow them to see.
• Understand every single step you do (during the whole project)...when you use an algorithm, make sure that you know why you're using it, what are the other options and why not the other options.
• Sometimes it helps to imagine the whole thing...I mean the output of the project...how it will look like...How things will communicate...And so on. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

Last but not least

Link your work to your beliefs. It's what makes the whole thing worth it.

Remember your intentions & share them with your team...It helps a lot if you all have the same goal.

﴾يوسف ﴿

سبحان الله ،،، ربنا كل شوية ييبعتلنا آية أو آيات عشان نفكر و يذكرنا بيه و و يذكرنا بمصيرنا ...

في مننا اللي بيراجع نفسه و في ناس تانية   يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡہَا وَهُمۡ عَنۡہَا مُعۡرِضُونَ

أَفَأَمِنُوٓاْ ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

هل الناس دي حاسة بأمان فحتى مش بيحاول يفكر ؟؟

حاسبوا أنفسكم 

لما بتجيلي أي آية أو رسالة من ربنا هل بفكر إيه ممكن تكون الحكمة من الرسالة دي في الوقت ده ؟؟؟؟

ولا مش بحاول أفكر ؟؟؟؟

حديث شريف

أتاني جبريل ، فقال: يا محمد! 

عش ما شئت فإنك ميت، 

وأحبب من شئت فإنك مفارقه،

واعمل ماشئت فإنك مجزي به،

و اعلم أن شرف المؤمن قيامه بالليل، 

و عزه استغناؤه عن الناس

In love with Turkey

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

In love with Turkey

You probably heard about the raid by Israeli soldiers on a flotilla bringing aid to Palestinians in Gaza. I want to say I was surprised but, I'll be lying. The Jews are cowards, and this is how cowards act.

Allah said in Surat Al-Hashr: "You [believers] are more fearful within their breasts than Allah. That is because they are a people who do not understand. (13) They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason." [Al-Hashr: 13-14]

{{لَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنَ اللَّـهِ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ ﴿١٣﴾ لَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِي قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَاءِ جُدُرٍ بَأْسُهُم بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّىٰ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٤﴾}}

Well, that's for Jews, as for the Country that was the main participant in this flotilla, Turkey, well I love them! I really do! I don't care about all this political bla bla about Turkey doing this to join whatever! At least someone is trying to do something! someone is saying to Israel "We don't care much about you!" someone is doing something other than "Condemning". What's wrong with muslims all over the world? Allah says:

"O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little." [Al Tawba: 38]

{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ}

I wish things change. Nothing more to say!
