Jannah Firdaus Mediapro, "The Tale of Prophet Dhul-Qarnayn AS (Iskandar Zulkarnaen) And Gog Magog"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0368501310 | PDF | pages: 56 | 4.5 mb
Prophet Dhul-Qarnayn AS or Iskandar Zulkarnaen ("he of the two horns" (or "he of the two ages"), appears in Surah 18 verses 83-101 of The Holy Quran one who travels to east and west and erects a wall between mankind and Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj). Elsewhere The Holy Quran tells how the end of the world would be signaled by the release of Gog and Magog from behind the wall, and their destruction by Allah SWT (God) in a single night would usher in the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyamah). Similarities between The Holy Quran and the Syriac Alexander Legend were also identified in recent research.

English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BDMZM4R7 | 107 pages | MOBI | 0.23 Mb
Most people associate survival preparedness with stockpiling resources or buying weapons. The #1 most important survival skill is not what people expect - and anyone can develop this skill. Yes, this book will address supplies and self-defense and many other critical topics, but the #1 most important survival skill has nothing to do with a fall out shelter full of canned goods and potassium iodide tablets.

The Spread of Christianity in the First Four Centuries: Essays in Explanation By William V. Harris (editor)
2005 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 9004147179 | PDF | 1 MB
The Spread of Christianity in the First Four Centuries: Essays in Explanation attempts to show how contemporary historical scholarship, or rather a selection of its exponents, views the perennial question why a new religion, indeed a new kind of religion, succeeded in subverting the other religions of the Roman Empire in the first three centuries and in the generations immediately following the 'conversion' of the usurper Constantine in 312.
The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster: The History and Legacy of NASA's Most Notorious Tragedy by Charles River Editors
English | January 13, 2016 | ISBN: 1523385065 | 63 pages | EPUB | 1.17 Mb
*Includes pictures *Profiles the origins of the mission and what went wrong *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents In the decades after the Apollo program, American space shuttles flew over 130 missions and successfully completed over 98% of them, but unfortunately, the two most famous missions were the ones that ended tragically aboard the Challenger and Columbia. The Space Shuttle Challenger was the most heavily used space shuttle in the three years it was operational, carrying the first minority astronaut and woman astronaut into space. Challenger was also the first space shuttle to complete a landing at night. On the morning of January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger launched for the 10th time, beginning mission STS-51-L. Space shuttles had already successfully completed 24 missions, and no American spacecraft had ever failed to reach orbit during an official mission. On this mission, the Challenger was carrying a satellite for the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites system, which was to be deployed in orbit. The crew included Ronald McNair, who had already been the second African-American in space, and Ellison Onizuka, who had already been the first Asian-American astronaut in space. But the highlight of the mission was to be the "NASA Teacher in Space Project," in which a civilian teacher would give teaching lessons to his or her class while onboard the space shuttle. The winner of the competition was Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher in Concord, New Hampshire, who wrote a winning essay and had to undergo a year of astronaut training before that fateful day. It was a beautiful morning, and many spectators came to the Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch, including McAuliffe's parents and her students. Several news networks were carrying live broadcasts of the launch, including live shots of McAuliffe's parents as they watched the Challenger liftoff. Mission Control's transmissions to the Challenger were being blared over loudspeakers to give spectators a play-by-play of the shuttle's ascent. Ascent seemed to be going normally during the first minute, but about 75 seconds into the ascent, a plastic O-ring used to seal a joint in one of the solid rocket boosters failed, causing a breach of hot gas. That gas spread to the other rocket booster and the external fuel tank, causing an explosion. When the spectators saw the explosion, many of them started cheering, unaware of what was really happening. But Mission Control quickly announced that there had been some sort of problem, and the crowd became confused and then panicky as the space shuttle, fuel tank and rocket boosters all broke apart and flew in opposite directions. Some cameras fixed on the falling debris as it fell to the ocean, while others stayed focused on McAuliffe's parents. The entire crew was killed in the explosion, and investigations concluded that they may have survived until crashing into the ocean. After the Challenger disaster, the space shuttles were grounded for about two years, and a commission issued findings that would be used in an effort to prevent similar tragedies. The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster: The History and Legacy of NASA's Most Notorious Tragedy chronicles the disaster from the origins of its mission to what went so terribly wrong. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Challenger like never before.
