Honey Bees in Quran. Worker bees are all females.
The worker bees, those who gather pollen and make the honey, are actually all females. The male bees do not make honey. This was only known recently. However 1400 years ago the Quran refers to bees that generate the honey as females (the Arabic grammar is in the female mode): [Quran 16.68-69] And your Lord (Allah) revealed to the bees: Build your hives in mountains, trees and in what people build. For the word "eat": "Kuli" is for females; "Kul" is for males.

The Sunni-Shiite Divide Explained With Extremely Useful Maps And Timelines. “If we want to understand the Middle East, if we want to understand why conflicts are happening the way they are, and how these conflicts may be resolved, we cannot take our eyes of the Shiite-Sunni conflict, says Vali R.
Nasr, Dean of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in a video from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The video is part of an interactive infoguide produced by CFR, that is an in-depth look at the roots of a divide which is at the heart of many of the violent conflicts currently engulfing the Middle East. “The Shiite-Sunni divide is a political and religious divide around who was the rightful heir after the passing of the Prophet Muhammad in early Islam.
Yes, it’s remote history, going back to the seventh century, but for millions of Muslims around the world, it’s what defines them- sectarianism,” says Ed Husain, adjunct senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at CFR, in the overview.

Ten-Pointed Star Tessellation. The geometric skill of the artists and designers of the Medieval Islamic world is universally recognized.
The Arab scholars who rescued Greek and Roman mathematical learning from oblivion made possible a blending of aesthetic and mathematical sensibilities that led to artisitic achievements of marvelous skill and beauty. The average person who visits the an Islamic monument will be dazzled by the beauty and intricacy of the patterns executed in mosaic tiles and carved plaster. But a person with a mathematical bent will also be delighted by the geometric sophistication of the decoration. For example, repeating patterns can be analyzed by types of symmetry.

Ash'arism or Ashʿari theology (Arabic الأشعرية al-Asha`riyya or الأشاعرة al-Ashā`irah) is an early theological school of Islam (Sunni in particular) founded by Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324 AH / 936 AD).[1] The disciples of the school are known as Ash'arites, and the school is also referred to as the Ash'arite school.
Some people mistakenly relate Ash'arism to Sufism, while they have different meanings. The school arose mainly as a response to the Mu'tazila school of thought and some of their beliefs which to Sunnis seemed strange and against previously held opinions. For example, the Mu'tazila believed the Quran to be created, whereas Sunnis generally held it be eternal alongside God. On the other hand, this new movement made a big shift for Islam.
This new school became a base in educating Islam as a religion, as it depends on rationalism in understanding Islam from Quran and Hadith. Overview[edit] 6 Great Converts To Islam.

3 censored TED talks they do not want you to see. 1. Graham Hancock – The War on Consciousness Read Hancock’s TED Talk, “The War on Consciousness”, was deliberately removed from YouTube: “Graham Hancock’s talk, again, shares a compelling and unorthodox worldview, but one that strays well beyond the realm of reasonable science. While attempting to critique the scientific worldview, he misrepresents what scientists actually think…” Chris Anderson, [TED]. After some debate, this presentation was not fully re-posted to TED’s site, but rather subjugated to a new, unseen basement corner on TED’s site, limiting its future visibility. Graham Hancock is the author of major international bestsellers, his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into 27 languages.
