Can you write?

Let's see first what is writing...

Writing systems are distinguished from other possible symbolic communication systems in that one must usually understand something of the associated spoken language to comprehend the text.

So technically however you express your self, as long as it is understandable, it is writing.

Why it is important?

Well, we already came to a computer age where interesting blog is 200-300 word max, twitter is 140 symbols...it's popularity is changing writing and writers...

When we read small meaningful info we start to analyze, question, think, ponder...which exercises our brain...

As you can see that Quran is from The One Who created us He made it the way it would be beneficial for our brain...

(This is) a Book that We have revealed unto you, full of lasting Bliss that they may ponder upon its Messages and that those who have understood may be mindful.(38:29)

So read Quran, ponder and start to write...this Ummah is in desperate need of brainy people to whom Baytoona will be able to provide already known knowledge...so that we can find the way to make it all better...Insha Allah

Baytoona is a slave of The Creator of Geniuses

Can you be a genius?

Hmm…

Who is genius?

A genius is someone who successfully applies a previously unknown technique in the production of a work of art, science, or calculation, or who masters and personalizes a known technique. A genius possesses great intelligence and remarkable abilities in a specific subject or shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect and/or ability, especially in the production of creative and original work, something that has never been seen or evaluated previously. Traits often associated with genius include strong individuality, imagination, uniqueness, and innovative drive[ (Wikipedia)

Which means, if you want to be a genius you just need to discover your area which you are passionate about and find previous/old techniques in it and create something new…which you will, because every day will challenge you to find it…

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

"Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)." (This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat al-Kursi)

Well, our Creator reviled lots of his knowledge to us…which by His will Baytoona will try to make known to you for...

Fisbililah (For the sake of Allah)
