8. Al-Anfal/The Spoils of War
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
08:01
O The Prophet!
They ask you about the spoils of war to whom do they belong?
Tell them:
‘The spoils of war belong to Allah and The Messenger Muhammad.
So be mindful of Allah in reverence, awe, and piety, and
in case of disputes resolve them amicably and maintain good relations among yourselves.
And obey Allah and HIS Messenger, if you are true believers.’
08:02
Indeed, the true believers are those whose hearts fill up with awe whenever they are
reminded of Allah,
and whose faith is further strengthened whenever HIS Messages are recited out to them,
and who put their trust in their Rabb - The Lord to take care of their affairs.
08:03
It is they who establish the Salat/Prayers,
and spend in the Cause of Allah of what WE provide for them.
08:04
It is they – they are the true believers.
For them are high ranks of honor and dignity with their Rabb - The Lord,
as well as forgiveness of sinful trespasses, and
generous provisions in Paradise.
08:05
A similar situation of dispute arose when your Rabb - The Lord caused you to leave your home to fight for the Cause of Truth,
although a group of the believers were, in fact, unwilling to do it,
08:06
…. arguing with you about the truth even after it had become quite clear
as if they were being driven to their own death with their eyes wide open.
08:07
And remember even when Allah was promising you that one of the two enemy groups will be yours,
although...
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries. Age is an important non-modifiable risk factor for acute myocardial infarction. Objectives: The objective of the study was to explore the relationship of advancing age with the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 after getting approval from Institutional Review board of University of Health Sciences, Lahore. Written informed consent and thorough history was taken from the study participants. Group 1 included 45 AMI patients aged 20-60 years. Group 2 included 45 healthy individuals aged 20-60 years. Independent sample t test and chi-square tests were applied for analysis of data. Results: Mean age was significantly higher in AMI patients (50.52±7.31) as compared to healthy controls (30.67±7.20). The risk of AMI increases with advancing age (p<0.001, OR= 2.78). Conclusions: Advancing age is an important risk factor for acute myocardial infarction.
MCDM was established to deal with various types of applications of daily life and is considered
as a valuable tool that can be applied to many complex decision-making problems. With the
inception of the new techniques and approaches in MCDM to achieve an optimal solution, methods
like TOPSIS, AHP, ANP, COMET, etc. were developed and modi?ed. Such methods adopt di/erent
approaches to the use of TFNs, GFNs, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, HFNs etc. for decision-making.
Sometimes these methods and approaches of MCDM produce results that may be questionable,
uncertain and unpredictable. Also, such approaches disregard the concerns of vagueness, ambiguity
and rank reversal paradox. On the other hand, these concerns are of fundamental nature and act
as challenges in MCDM methods. COMET was designed to counter uncertainty and vagueness
while dealing with problems of MCDM. The COMET method is basically immune to the pivotal
challenge of rank reversal paradox, but yet classical COMET has not been designed for uncertain
and decisional problems. In this research e/ort IVTFNs and IVIFNs are used for the purpose of
decision making with COMET method for ranking of alternatives in a more suitable way in the
presence of vagueness and uncertainty which are basically the extensions of the classical COMET
method. Furthermore, a comparative analysis will be carried out to compare the solution of the
proposed method with the result as obtained in TOPSIS method
