Quranic Wisdom

negative reaction, you should adopt the policy of avoidance, and
very soon you will find that the whole thing is normalized.
Life is full of crises. The only solution is that you should learn
the art of crisis management. Don’t take the problem as a problem,
but take it as a normal event. Try to defuse it and the crisis will be
managed in a very smooth manner. By applying wisdom, you can
turn hate into love and negativity into positivity, then why opt for
the harder course of action when the easier course of action is
available? According to Islamic teaching, every situation is a test
paper. Apply your wisdom and you will certainly stand the test.

Miraculous Nine Days

ccording to researchers at University of California,
ABerkeley, a rapid succession of coronal mass ejections—the
most intense eruptions on the sun—sent a pulse of magnetized
plasma barrelling into space and through earth’s orbit. The
massive magnetic storm had a speed of 3,000 km per second—
enough to circle earth five times in one minute. The eruption
on the sun took place on July 22, 2012. Had the eruption come
nine days earlier, when the ignition spot on the solar surface was
aimed exactly at earth, it would have hit the planet.

In a paper appearing on March 18, 2014 in the journal Nature
Communications, researchers say that the solar burst tore through
earth’s orbit but, fortunately, earth and the other planets were
on the other side of the sun at the time. Had earth been in the
line of sight, it would have suffered severe magnetic storms as
the magnetic field of the outburst would have tangled with the
planet’s own magnetic field. This would have wreaked havoc with
the electrical grid, disabling satellites and GPS, and disrupting
our increasingly electronic lives.
