But the new models will be Apple\'s sales anchor during holiday shopping seasons in Western markets during a turbulent period. \"Apple is not immune to economic weakness,\" Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in note to clients.</div><div><br></div><div>This year\'s iPhones may have the ability to send emergency messages through a satellite internet connection when WiFi and mobile networks are not available. The messaging functions would likely be rudimentary, and other companies are working on similar functions. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said last month T-Mobile will use its satellites to connect phones directly to the internet.</div><div><br></div><div>Bob O\'Donnell of TECHnalysis Research said that the peace of mind from being able to send emergency messages could spur Apple users to upgrade their phones for the satellite feature.</div><div><br></div><div>\"Even though it\'s not something you do every day, it\'ll change your perspective on what you do with your phone,\" he said.</div><div><br></div><div>Analysts also expect Apple to show a new range of Apple Watches, including an upgraded budget model called the SE and a Series 8 Watch. They also expect a new high-end watch called the Apple Watch Pro that will likely include new features for athletes, taking aim at rivals such as Garmin Ltd.</div><div><br></div><div>But while accessories like the Apple Watch have driven incremental sales from Apple\'s existing user base, the iPhone remains the bedrock of its business with 52.4% of sales in its most recent fiscal year. Investors have been watching for Apple\'s next major product category since the Apple Watch launched in 2015.</div><div><br></div><div>Some analysts believe Apple might give a preview of that future by showing a mixed-reality headset on Wednesday. The device is expected to have cameras that pass-through view of the outside world to the wearer while overlaying digital objects on the physical world. Analysts do not expect the device to go on sale until next year at the earliest.</div><div><br></div><div>An early preview would be rare for Apple, which keeps its product plans secret until just before devices hit the market. A rival headset called Project Cambria is in the works from Meta Platforms Inc, which is spending billions of dollars on the project.</div><div><br></div><div>But in order to have compelling apps for a new headset, Apple might need to give developers time to become familiar with it. \"Developing for a new and radically different type of platform is going to take people a lot longer,\" O\'Donnell said. - Agency</div><div><br></div><div>bnbd24/fas</div>', NULL, 'News Desk', '[\"1\"]', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2022-09-08 00:07:25', '2022-09-08 00:07:25'),

If the right to dress is a fundamental right, the right to undress also becomes a fundamental right... Nobody is prohibiting you from wearing the hijab.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">The question is about wearing it in school,” the bench told senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, who was appearing for a girl student from Udupi which turned out to be the epicentre of the original protests seeking to wear the hijab.</span></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">Kamat sought to persuade the bench that the February Government Order (GO) by the state government specifically mentioned that wearing of hijab is not a part of essential religious practice of Islam, arguing that the GO targeted only one community.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">The bench, however, responded: “You may not be right. Only one community wants to come with hijab or head scarf while all other communities are following the dress code.”</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">Kamat tried to argue that it may not be true only about one community since students also wear a ‘rudraksha’ (stonefruit worn by Hindus) or a cross in schools and colleges, and therefore the question is about showing a religious symbol in addition to wearing the uniform. “The State is required to be more generous.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">That’s the concept of reasonable accommodation,” he added. But the bench retorted: “Rudraksha or a cross is not worn outside but under your shirt. Nobody is asking you to take out your shirt to see what you are wearing and hence, it does not bother anyone. It is not a violation of a dress code.”</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">Clarifying that he is not challenging the prescription of uniform but the mandate of the state to deny fundamental rights of those wanting to wear a hijab without contravening the dress code, Kamat contended that the ban on hijab cannot be justified either as a reasonable restriction or on the grounds of public order.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">He also said that only a constitution bench should hear the clutch of petitions against the March 15 judgment by the Karnataka high court, which held that wearing of hijab by Muslim women does not form a part of essential religious practice in Islam. The petitioners include girl students, women’s right groups, lawyers, activists and Islamic bodies.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify; \">“The issue is whether a student citizen in our Constitutional scheme is expected to surrender her fundamental right in lieu of access to education.

(We\'ve seen in in the IPL that Virat Kohli has hit five hundreds while opening the batting. (He scored a century today again while opening so as a vice-captain will you tell the team management that Kohli can be tried as an opener in the Australia and South Africa series and also in the World Cup?)</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">KL Rahul: \"Toh kya main khud baith jau phir?

It gives us a chance to be our best selves in the World Cup.\"</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rahul who scored 62 off 41 balls, however, more or less confirmed that Kohli, will go back to his original position of batting at no.3 in the next home series against Australia, South Africa and also in the T20 World Cup when Rohit Sharma returns.</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\"Aap jante hai Virat Kohli ko. Sabne dekha hai itne salo se unko. (You all know Virat and have seen what he can do) It\'s not like he will only score hundreds when opening. Agar No.3 pe bhi ayenge toh 6-7 hundred waha bhi bana sakte hai. It\'s all about performing different roles in the team. He performed his role beautifully. The next series that we play, his role will be different. He will give his best, so there\'s no question about that,\" Rahul said about the former India captain who slammed the highest individual T20I score for the country on Thursday with a blistering 122* off just 61 balls to lead India to a 101-run victory against Afghanistan.

This indicates that prayer in congregation is an obligation for all individuals, because Allaah did not absolve the second group of this obligation as a result of the first group praying in congregation. If prayer in congregation was Sunnah, it would be more appropriate for people to be excused from it at times of fear [the situation referred to in this verse], and if it were fard kifaayah (a communal obligation), it would be discharged by the actions of the first group. So this verse shows that it is an individual obligation, and demonstrates that in three ways: it is enjoined at the beginning, then it is enjoined a second time, and there is no concession allowing them not to do it at times of fear.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the words of Ibn al-Qayyim in Kitaab al-Salaah.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. In al-Saheehayn (the following version was narrated by al-Bukhaari) it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I had thought of ordering that wood be gathered, then I would command the call to prayer to be given, and I would appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, then I would go to men [who do not attend the congregational prayer] and burn their houses down around them. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if anyone of you had known that he would receive a bone covered with meat or two (small) pieces of meat in a sheep’s foot, he would come for \'Isha\' prayer.”&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Al-Bukhaari, 7224; Muslim, 651.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibn al-Mundhir (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The fact that he was thinking of burning down the houses of people who did not attend the prayer is the clearest evidence that attending prayer in congregation is obligatory, because it would not be permissible for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to do this with regard to something that was mustahabb and not obligatory. Al-Awsat, 4/134&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on the evidence, please see question no. 8918.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once it is established that prayer in congregation is obligatory, it is obligatory to perform this prayer in the mosque. It is not permissible for a man who is able to attend the congregational prayer in the mosque to pray in his house even if he prays in congregation with his family.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">With regard to not praying in congregation, this is a reprehensible action and is not permitted. It is also one of the attributes of the hypocrites.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is obligatory for the Muslim to pray in the mosque in congregation, as it says in the hadeeth of Ibn Umm Maktoom – who was a blind man. He said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I do not have a guide to lead me to the mosque,” and he asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to grant him a concession allowing him to pray in his house, and he allowed him that, but when he turned away he called him back and asked, “Can you hear the call to prayer?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Then answer it.” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh, 635.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">And it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not come, there is no prayer for him [i.e., his prayer is not valid], unless he has an excuse.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah, al-Daaraqutni, Ibn Hibbaan and al-Haakim with a saheeh isnaad. It was said to Ibn ‘Abbaas, what is an excuse? He said, Fear or sickness.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Saheeh Muslim (654) it is narrated that Ibn Mas’ood said: “At the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) we used to think that no one failed to attend the prayer in congregation but a hypocrite or one who was sick.”&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is meant is that the believer is required to pray in the mosque, and it is not permissible for him to take the matter lightly and pray in his house when the mosque is nearby.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fact that only two men pray in the mosque reinforces the fact that you have to attend the congregational prayer, so as to be free of any sin or shortcoming, and so as to encourage them to attend the prayer in congregation in the mosque, so that they will not get lazy. Two or more people constitutes a congregation.&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibn Hubayrah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “[The scholars] were unanimously agreed that the smallest number that counts for prayer in congregation, apart from Jumu’ah prayer, is two: the imam and the person who is praying behind him, who should stand to his right.” Al-Ifsaah, 1/155&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “A congregation may consist of two or more, and we know of no difference of opinion concerning that.”&nbsp;</div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></div><div style=\"text-align: justify;\">And Allaah knows best.
