Wat do You Know About Cricket Ground?

This is a list of Test cricket grounds. Since the first cricket Test match in Australia in 1877, 96 grounds have hosted Test cricket, the most recent to be added to the list being Providence Stadium in Providence, Guyana on 22 March 2008. The grounds are listed by country, with the countries listed in the order in which they first hosted a Test match and the grounds in each country listed in the order in which they were first used as a venue for Test cricket. However, the first international cricket match was actually a game between the United States of America and Canada in Manhattan, New York on 24-25 September 1844 with that city's St George's Club representing the USA and Toronto CC representing Canada. More than 32 years passed before Australia and England contested what was to become accepted as the first official Test match in March 1877. 5 day matches between non-Test playing countries are therefore not considered a proper Test match. Also, this excludes World Series Cricket and South African rebel tours venues.

About ISLAM

Can we say like ya Muhammad to our prophet?.Praise be to Allaah.Firstly: It was not permissible to address the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by saying “Ya Muhammad” during his lifetime, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Make not the calling of the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) among you as your calling one of another”[al-Noor 24:63]. Al-Dahhaak said, narrating from Ibn ‘Abbaas: They used to say Ya Muhammad, Ya Aba’l-Qaasim, but Allaah told them not to do that, out of respect to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). So they said Ya Rasool Allaah (O Messenger of Allaah), Ya Nabi Allaah (O Prophet of Allaah). Mujaahid and Sa’eed ibn Jubayr said something similar. Qataadah said: Allaah enjoined that His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) should be treated with respect and venerated and honoured as a leader. Muqaatil ibn Hayyaan said: Do not address him by name when you call him and say Ya Muhammad, and do not say Ya Ibn ‘Abd-Allaah. Rather address him with honour and say Ya Nabi Allaah or Ya Rasool Allaah. Maalik said, narrating from Zayd ibn Aslam: Allaah enjoined them to address him with honour. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) should not be addressed by name only, rather it should be said: Ya Rasool Allaah, Ya Nabi Allaah. Secondly: It is not permissible to call on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in du’aa’ after his death, because du’aa’ is an act of worship that can only be directed to Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And the mosques are for Allaah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allaah”[al-Jinn 72:13] “And who is more astray than one who calls on (invokes) besides Allaah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?”[al-Ahqaaf 46:5] And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him): “If you ask, then ask of Allaah, and if you seek help then seek help from Allaah.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2516) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi. Du’aa’ is asking for benefit and asking for harm to be warded off, and it is not only done by saying Yaa (O…), rather it has become customary among people to use this call in du’aa’, especially when hardship comes and calamity strikes, so they say Ya Allaah, meaning O Allaah, save us, give us help, support us. This is the action of monotheists (believers in Tawheed) who do not call upon anyone other than Allaah. As for those who worship graves and tombs, they call upon their “saints” and revered ones, saying Ya Badawi, Ya Rifaa’i, Ya Jilaani, and what they mean is, O Badawi, help us, come to our aid, save us. And some of them say: Ya Rasool-Allaah, Ya Muhammad, in this manner also. This is calling upon him, seeking his help and turning to him. It is well known that this is one of the worst ways of going against the message that was brought by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the other Messengers, and that was revealed in the Books, namely the call to Tawheed and worshipping Allaah alone, and forsaking the worship of all others. It is not acceptable in the religion of Islam, which Allaah has chosen as the religion for His slaves, to call upon anyone except Allaah, not any Prophet who was sent or any angel who is close to Him. Rather we are to call upon Him alone. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilaah (god) with Allaah? Little is that you remember!”[al-Naml 27:62] Thus it is known that if a person says Ya Muhammad or Ya Rasool Allaah, not intending thereby to call upon him and seek his help, then there is nothing wrong with it, such as if he wants to call him to mind and remember him, such as if he reads a hadeeth and says Sall-Allaah ‘alayka ya Rasool-Allaah (May Allaah send blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allaah) or How great and beautiful are your words, O Messenger of Allaah. But saying Ya Muhammad is contrary to good manners, as explained above. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Is it shirk if someone says in any place on earth, Ya Muhammad Ya Rasool-Allaah, calling him? He replied: Allaah has stated in His Holy Book and on the lips of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that worship is the right of Allaah alone and no one else has any share of it, and that du’aa’ is a kind of worship, so if a person says in any place on earth, Ya Rasool-Allaah, Ya Nabi Allaah or Ya Muhammad, help me, or save me, or support me, or heal me, or support your ummah, or heal the sick Muslims, and guide their misguided ones and so on, then he is making him a partner with Allaah in worship. The same applies to those who do the same thing with regard to other Prophets, angels, awliya’ (“saints), jinn, idols or any other created beings, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)”[al-Dhaariyaat 51:56] “O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allaah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious”[al-Baqarah 2:21] End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (2/453). Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Some people at times of hardship say Ya Muhammad or Ya ‘Ali or Ya Jilaani. What is the ruling on that? He replied: If the intention is to call upon them and seek their help, then the person is a mushrik in the sense of major shirk that puts one beyond the pale of Islam, and he must repent to Allaah and call upon Allaah alone, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilaah (god) with Allaah? Little is that you remember!”[al-Naml 27:62] As well as being a mushrik, he is also fooling himself. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself?”[al-Baqarah 2:130] “And who is more astray than one who calls on (invokes) besides Allaah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?”[al-Ahqaaf 46:5] End quote from Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (2/133). And Allaah knows best.

Documents To Go

Documents To Go®
Getting Started Tips
Tip: For graphics like the one above, you can tap on the graphic for a larger, detailed view.

Tip: Use the up/down buttons on your device or the scroll bar at the right of the screen to move up and down within this document.

Tip: This document also contains bookmarks. For long documents, you can use bookmarks to help you jump from section to section quickly and easily. To see the bookmarks in this document, tap on the bookmark icon located on the toolbar at the bottom.

Introduction
Welcome to Documents To Go. This is a Microsoft Word file brought to your handheld using Documents To Go. It is intended to first give you an overview of the major features in Documents To Go, followed by more practical “How To” instructions and tips on using the software.

With Documents To Go you can use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation* files on your handheld. Simple push-button synchronization will maintain the most up-to-date version of a file on both the desktop and handheld.

Tip: If you have the Premium Edition, you can also take your e-mail with attachments**, PDF files, password-protected Word & Excel files, pictures as well as spell check word processing files and create charts in spreadsheets right on your handheld.

*Available in Premium and Professional Editions only.
**Available in Premium Edition for Windows only.

Components of Documents To Go
Documents To Go includes a desktop application as well as several handheld applications. The edition that you’re using will determine which handheld applications get installed. The components of Documents To Go are:

“Documents To Go”, the main desktop application. Launch it when you want to take your desktop files to the handheld or manage the files you’ve already taken to the handheld.
“Documents”, the main handheld application. Launch it when you want to view your files.
“Word To Go”, a hidden handheld application that can process word processing files in its own Word To Go format and in native Microsoft Word format.
“Sheet To Go”, a hidden handheld application that can process spreadsheet files in its own Sheet To Go format and in native Microsoft Excel format.
“Slideshow To Go”, a hidden handheld application that can process PowerPoint files in its own Slideshow To Go format and in native Microsoft PowerPoint format.*
“Pics To Go”, a hidden handheld application that processes pictures and graphics files.**
“Inbox To Go”, a handheld application used for viewing e-mail with attachments.***

Tip: If you have a handheld with expansion card support, you can put the Word To Go, Sheet To Go and Slideshow To Go applications on the card in order to save space on your handheld. See the “Expansion card support” section below for instructions on how to do this.

*Available in Premium and Professional Editions only.
**Available in Premium Edition only.
***Available in Premium Edition for Windows only.

DocSync™ technology
Documents To Go includes a revolutionary technology called DocSync, which provides seamless synchronization for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 97, 2000,XP and 2003 for Windows. DocSync technology gives you the freedom to make changes to documents on the handheld without losing the document's original formatting after synchronization. With DocSync technology there is no longer a need to manage multiple versions of your desktop documents in order to retain the original formatting.

Specifically, DocSync technology will apply the changes you've made to a document on the handheld to the desktop documents. In doing so, you will not lose any of the original formatting of your desktop documents. For example, if your desktop document contains embedded worksheets, diagrams, or hyperlinks, those features will remain in the desktop document even after you've made changes to the handheld document and synchronized.

Note: DocSync does not apply to “native” Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files that did not originate on the desktop and have been edited on the handheld before synchronization. For example, if you bring a native Word file into Documents To Go on the handheld via an expansion card and you make edits BEFORE synchronization, DocSync will not apply to that file.

Native document support
Documents To Go 7 is the first version to support handheld-based “native” document support for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint* files. "Native" indicates that file is in its original desktop format, specifically Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Before native document support, the Documents To Go desktop application converted Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to a handheld format first and then the files were synchronized to the handheld for opening. Although you could still do this, native document support gives you the flexibility of using Word, Excel and PowerPoint files no matter how they are delivered – through synchronization, as an e-mail attachment, on expansion cards, via Bluetooth sending and IR beaming.

Tip: As a general rule, if you would like to conserve space on your handheld, you should bring your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to your handheld as Word To Go, Sheet To Go and Slideshow To Go formats. These are optimized formats for the handheld and therefore have smaller resulting file sizes.

Tip: As a general rule, if you would like the flexibility of sharing your Word, Excel or PowerPoint files with other people (such as a Pocket PC user or a PC or laptop user), you should bring your files to your handheld in their “native” formats.

*View only and available in Premium and Professional Editions only.

How can I get native files onto my handheld?
You can get native files to your handheld using any of the below methods.

Use the Documents To Go desktop application to add your native files and synchronize them to your handheld.
Beam native files via infrared from laptops or Pocket PCs to your handheld.
Send native files via Bluetooth from laptops or Pocket PCs to your handheld.
Receive native files as attachments through email applications such as Inbox To Go Wireless, VersaMail or SnapperMail.
Put native files onto an expansion card (e.g., Secure Digital or Memory Sticks) and open them on your handheld.

Benefits of native document support:

Open and work with documents no matter how they are delivered to you. With native document support you will be able to open files sent to your handheld via e-mail, on an expansion card, or via Bluetooth. Documents To Go can open Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files right on the handheld, without any desktop conversion or synchronization needed.

Easily share files in a “mixed” environment. For example, you can use your Secure Digital (SD) card as a modern day “floppy disk” to exchange files between a Palm handheld and a Pocket PC simply by swapping SD cards loaded with Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. You can even use the same SD card to upload handheld files to any computer with an SD slot or card reader. There is no need to have Documents To Go installed on that desktop computer.

Use Documents To Go along with popular wireless e-mail applications such as Inbox To Go Wireless, VersaMail or SnapperMail to send and receive real Word, Excel and PowerPoint files as e-mail attachments. Documents To Go can automatically open your attachments on the handheld itself so you can view or work with those files. Best of all, you can send them off as e-mail attachments and they'll arrive at their destination as real Word, Excel or PowerPoint files.

Expansion card support
Documents To Go supports Palm OS 5 expansion technology. The handheld applications of Documents To Go, as well as files, can be stored and retrieved from expansion cards. The following describes how to use Documents To Go with expansion technology.

How do I move files from my handheld to my expansion card?
