The Samani dynasty (Persian: سامانیان Sāmāniyān), also known as the Samanid Empire, or simply Samanids (819–999) was a Sunni Persian state and empire in Central Asia and Greater Iran, named after its founder Saman Khuda, who converted to Islam despite being from Zoroastrian theocratic nobility. It was a native Persian dynasty in Greater Iran and Central Asia after the collapse of the Sassanid Persian empire caused by the Arab conquest.
The Samanids were a Persian state that reigned for 180 years, encompassing a territory which included Khorasan (including Kabul),Ray, Transoxiania, Tabaristan, Kerman, Gorgan, and west of these provinces up to Isfahan. At the peak of their power, the Samanids controlled territory extending as far south as the Sulaiman Mountains in Pakistan, Ghazni and Kandahar. The Samanids were descendants of Bahram Chobin, and thus descended from the House of Mihrān, one of the Seven Great Houses of Iran. In governing their territory, the Samanids modeled their state organization after the Abbasids, mirroring the caliph's court and organization. They were rewarded for supporting the Abbasids in Transoxania and Khorasan, and with their established capitals located in Bukhara, Balkh, Samarkand, and Herat, they carved their kingdom after defeating the Saffarids.
Isma'il ibn Ahmad (ابو ابراهیم اسماعیل بن احمد, Abu Ibrahim Ismail ibn Ahmad, d. November 907) also referred to as, "Amir Adil" (the Just Commander) was the Persian Samanid amir of Transoxiana (892-907) and Khorasan (900-907). His reign saw the emergence of the Samanids as a powerful force. He was the son of Ahmad ibn Asad and a descendant of Saman Khuda, the founder of the Samanid dynasty who renounced Zoroastrianism and embraced Islam. Ismail is considered the father of the Tajik nation.[citation needed]
Gaining approval of the local population, Ismail was described as good natured devout Muslim, relying exclusively on Allah in accordance with the Islamic principle of tawheed. During his brother Nasr's reign, Isma'il was sent to take control of Bukhara, which had been devastated by looting on the part of forces from Khwarazm. The citizens of the city welcomed Isma'il, seeing him as someone who could bring stability.
Soon afterwards, a disagreement over where tax money should be distributed caused a falling out between Nasr and Isma'il. A struggle ensued, in which Isma'il proved victorious. Although he took effective control of the state, he did not formally overthrow his brother, instead remaining in Bukhara. He did so because Nasr had been the one whom the Caliph had given the formal investiture of Transoxiana to; in the caliph's eyes, Nasr was the only legitimimate ruler of the region. Furthermore, the Saffarids of Sistan had claims on Transoxiana; the overthrow of Nasr would have given the Saffarids a pretext for invading. Isma'il therefore continued to formally recognize Nasr as ruler until the latter's death in August 892, at which point he officially took power.
Dr. Prof. Noor Muhammad (April 15, 1951 - April 12, 2004), was a notable Pakistani mathematician and mathematics writer who made an original contribution to the fields of C*-algebra, symmetric topology and pure mathematics. He was the chairman of Department of Mathematics, in which he assumed this position in 2000 until 2002. He was a distinguished student of Russian mathematician dr. Grigory Barenblatt, and made significant efforts to the fields of topological algebras.
He was the co-author of Symmetric Topological Algebras and Applications which was published at Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, and since then, dr. Noor Muhammad has produced 20 M.Phil. students at the Quaid-i-Azam University since his PhD in 1983. His death is a loss to the mathematical community in Pakistan[citation needed].
Muhammad was born in Abbottabad, Haripur District where he completed his high school from there. In 1971, Muhammad gained his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from University of Peshawar, followed by his Master of Science in Mathematics in 1973 from Quaid-i-Azam University. With a scholarship awarded by the Quaid-i-Azam University, Muhammad traveled to Soviet Union in 1979, and completed his thesis in 1983 under the direction of dr. Grigory Barenblatt from Moscow State University. His doctoral thesis covered the functional analysis, namely C*-algebras. He taught mathematics at the Moscow State University until 1984 and subsequently moved to Trieste, Italy the same year.
So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
I was too blue to live
And to mean to die
You've been so mean baby
You've been so mean to me
Baby, you've been so mean
You've been so mean to me
I've got to get even with you woman
You just hang around and see
Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Yes, the way I used to love you woman
Baby that's the way I hate you now
Yes, you can pack your clothes baby
You can pack your clothes and go
Pack your clothes, woman
You can pack your clothes and go
I want you to know baby
Is there something wrong
Do ya hate this song
Cuz I'm singin about it again
Did ya know the words
Before you read them
Did ya notice
She had it and she wants it again
He had it and he lost it again
In the fallout or the aftermath of
So many days so many days I guess it's all been done
Maybe it's all been sung
Before By wiser people but its not stopping anyone
Falling apart from heartache
She had it and she wants it again
He had it and he lost it again In the fallout or the aftermath of
So many days so many days
Another second is another made
so many days it's hard to breathe so many miles you're so hard to read did you forget the things that you said I hope not yet we're both so used to this hand signals sent through electric phone wired crossed again I'm suspecting that you've started drifting the mailbox the answering machine all short on answers to questions I can't help from pacing so many days it's hard to breathe so many miles you're so hard to read did you forget the things that you said I hope not yet
[Intro:]
Dead. Ain't shit diffin all the thugs.
Blew the video. Ras Kass
Organized rhymes, nigga
Listen
[Verse 1: Ras Kass]
I got the currier for thug passion, picture that, the atomic core
Black and wrist, with the crack get the gat.
If I plob more pressure my wrist gets snappy
Groupies get the bozack
Snake niggaz I'm gonna get your ass back, like your ass crack
Shit lowjack and you know that
I ain't never bout wit down nigga
Act crowback, round up, flip flap back wit more drama
Life is six figures, double niggaz wit babies mommas
You know this cat, and if not get the million wit butterflies
MC's live like catterpilla (pilla)
Beyond some dreams, smoke fuckin get paid
Every thing I shave your blades, wit the same drawers
for three days, and run relays, all up in your PJ's
Like I'm from there, where my chronic smokin crew
Hit trees like Sonny and Cher, I came to kick ass
and drink Heineken, so unfortunately I'm almost out of beer
Some say my attitude is fucked up and real crummy
since I come from the state where it's always sunny
Ha ha ha ha ha, I had to find that funny, so I said:
No child, I work hoes for the money
[Chorus: Ras Kass and K. Born:]
So many days, so many nights.
So many mics blown.
So many ways to die, so many strive.
So many days, so many nights.
So many mics blown.
So many ways to die, so many try.
[Verse 2: K. Born]
How you do that there ?
Tellin practically movin MC's, like keys and no C's, please
Fuck the trees, my senses provide the photosynthesis
I got my front and my back, like prevysesis
So tell me who this niggaz think they intimidated
I ain't havin none of that shit that bein constipated
My pants still gon sag on flat ends. Still gonna have cat ends
And I'm still on critically,
the queen of central corner vaugh matches lyrically
So what I'm tryin to say, is y'all ain't fuckin wit me (true)
I am goin to heaven for the weather, and inhale for the company
Once before the icore. Switch my soft war
Release the rugged more, wit the mark of the beast
Fuck a bitch in the mouth, but then pussy gets infected wit gees
Gotti John the Baptist (Who wanna get wet)
You know your mark. Get ready, get set, and lets start a revolution
Yo. Niggaz wiggin out like Whitney Houston
You feel me ? I do shit
Pussy
clinch onto the swirling wind
have a glimpse of ancient sins
taste a ray of amber light as the weary sun goes down
there is yet another shore
luna's light won't leave you anymore
closing in closing in a whisper in the rain;
no-one knows your name
you've heard that voice before
some wounds may never heal (the ways of grace are narrow)
some secrets can't be sealed (and in your head the battle rages on)
someone said; you'd never learn
strange how people tend to yearn long for insecurity
you fought to prove them wrong you grew older,
pages turned some were right,
you never really learned fast decisions made your way
too proud to quit the game
but now they know your name be hailed for what you earned
some wounds may never heal (the light confines the shadows)
some secrets can't be sealed (but no-one cares about the tears you cry)
men died for your belief men
that never knew you wouldn't even try remember
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I'll call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure of what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore!
This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack
My style
That's alright; I got a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I?
Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared that you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I still not sure of what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know (so come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
When I see stars that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, (so come on)
(So come on)
Well, this is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes
Man you wouldn't believe, the most amazing things that can come from
Some terrible lies!
Some terrible lies!
Let's go!
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree (we'd both agree)
It's for the best you didn't listen
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck; some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
This is it, boys, this is war - what the hell are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright).
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I, who I
a-a-a-am, oh who am I, m-mm, m-mm.
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
That is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lie
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
Lay right down
Dream about the life we have found
It's only just begun
And we know we bring to light
What most can never find
And finally, we’ll be alive
Still we ask ourselves
Is it worth the trip through hell
So many days
Come and go to waste
While I wait for you
I see you here
And everywhere I go
While I wait for you
And ya know that I’ll wait for you
Take my words
It's all we get for now
But rest assured
We've only just begun
And the seasons all will change
But we'll remain the same
And finally, we'll be alive
Then we'll know damn well
It was worth the trip through hell
So many days
Come and go to waste
While I wait for you I see you here
And everywhere I go
While I wait for you
And ya know that I’ll wait for you
Am I talking? Are you paying attention?
Are these question to be asked
When someone dies?
Am I describing a picture that's
Slowly fading
And are we paling along these
Fields of grey?
The play goes on
And my eyes will beam with gladness
What can be done
To fill the rigid rooms with movement?
Have you been wrong
To just stop breathing without cause?
When all is gone
Can I choose to follow you?
What else can be done?
You stare into the depth
If there lies a ground if there was
An eruption
If it's too late
You cry yourself pale you shine
What can be done?
What else can be done?
The play goes on
And my eyes will beam with gladness
What can be done
To fill the rigid rooms with movement?
Have you been wrong
To just stop breathing without cause?
When all is gone
Can I choose to follow you?
What brought us here?
Are we in need of help?
Are we drunk enough to fit into the scheme?
Am I steady?
Do I look consistent?
Have we amassed enough insignificance?
The play goes on
And my eyes will beam with gladness
What can be done
To fill the rigid rooms with movement?
Have you been wrong
To just stop breathing without cause?
When all is gone
