Internet is on buzz with the news of Israelis sacrificing Red Heifer. Here is what social media's take on the matter.

Probably On march 29, Israelis will sacrifice a red heifer for the summoning of the Ad-dajjal (False Messiah) and demolish Masjid Al Aqsa! And on 8th April The last day of Ramadan they are claiming that there fake Messiah will summon! Also on the same day there will be a Historic Total Solar Eclipse which has not happened since 375 years.

Red Heifer Sacrifice over the centuries

The sacrifice of the red heifer is a significant ritual in Jewish tradition. According to Jewish law, only nine red heifers have been sacrificed since the time of Moses. The ashes of the red heifer were used in a purification ritual to cleanse people from ritual impurity incurred by contact with a dead body. Here is the list of the red heifers sacrificed by the Israelites:

1. The first red heifer was sacrificed by Moses.
2. The second red heifer was sacrificed by Ezra.
3. The third red heifer was sacrificed by Simon the Just.
4. The fourth red heifer was sacrificed by Yishmael ben Piavi.
5. The fifth red heifer was sacrificed by Hanamel the Egyptian.
6. The sixth red heifer was sacrificed by Yishmael ben Piavi.
7. The seventh red heifer was sacrificed by Hanamel the Egyptian.
8. The eighth red heifer was sacrificed by Hanamel the Egyptian.
9. The ninth red heifer was sacrificed by Yishmael ben Piavi.

These sacrifices occurred over a span of centuries, with significant gaps between them. The tenth red heifer is awaited by Jewish tradition and is believed to be necessary for the purification rituals associated with the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

As the rumors are spreading about the sacrifice of a red heifer.
It is planned with a backup (they ain't sacrificing 1 red heifer. But 5)
There are actually 5 red heifer that has a qualifying qualities consisting of the following.
- they should be pure red (not even a single black or white hair)
- should be a virgin
- should age around 34 months to 38 months
And should age around 3 year old during the time of sacrifice
Which is probably between March to July

Why are they doing this?
It is a Jews tradition that they sacrifice a red heifer with the above terms. And just because the terms are required to be accurate this sacrifice is taking place after 2000 years. Basically when a Jews construct the holy temple they use the ashes of the red heifer to purify the tools of construction.

What can it cause?
This is the beginning of THE END TIMES as per HOLY TURAH . The series goes like ....
1. Sacrifice the red heifer
2. Purify the tools
3. Demolish Al-Aqsa
4. Construction of the third temple
5. Arrival of the false messiah
6. Arrival of Imam Mehdi
7. Arrival of ESSA
8. Qayamah.

The sacrifice of the Red Heifer the 10th will take place by the mid of this year (March end till June) Its skin, flesh, blood and bone alongwith all belongings are to be burnt and mixed with pure water and then that water will purify the priest conducting the sacrifice after which it will be sprinkled seven times around the foundation of the third temple this will welcome the Messaih era (the era of dajjal)

This sacrifice has to be done on the mount olive joining the temple via Kidor valley.

As soon as this happens Al Aqsa will be demolished and Mehdi will appear consequentially

The place of the sacrifice has been chosen and the heifer (spotless, pure, virgin) have been transported from Texas to Israel.

"Dajjal will reveal himself from the East. He will belong from a Jewish family. He is usually described as blind in one eye. And the word "Kafir" will be written on his forehead. He would conquer Jerusalem and travel the whole world entering every city except Mecca and Medina.

As a false Messiah, many will be deceived by him and join his ranks. He will be assisted by an army of devils. The most reliable supporters of his will be the Jews, to whom he will be like a God. Upon his return many people with weak Iman will fall under his spell. It will be impossible to keep our daughters and wives at home after his arrival. (These are the signs of Kiamah)."

The first 10 and Last 10 ayats of Surah-al-Kahf can spare us from the fitnah of Dajjal. Try to memorize first ten ayats of Surah-al-Kahf. Try to recite it daily. This is not a joke. Please try to increase awareness regarding this. It's the biggest, hardest & difficult fitnah of our ummah and I see many people unaware about it. Please learn about it and and try to build up your Iman because the antichrist is gonna play with our Iman.

MAY ALLAH SAVE US FROM THE FITANAH OF DAJJAL!

Update for cancelled Cambridge exams and the way forward

Dear Principal/School Leader,

We hope this message finds you well. As you are aware, cancelling the Cambridge exams on 10, 11 and 12 May was a difficult decision. We write to update you on Cambridge and British Council plans to support candidates affected by these cancellations.

It is extremely important to us that students can move on with their education. In nearly all cases, students who experienced exam cancellations on 10-12 May will receive ‘assessed marks’. Assessed marks are marks we calculate for a missing paper, based on the student’s marks for the papers they did sit. This means students who sat for exams in Cambridge O Level, IGCSE and Cambridge AS & A Level in June 2023 exams series will receive a grade and be able to continue their education journey.

The only exception is the students who had registered for Cambridge International A Level Mathematics and A Level History ‘A2’ exams in June 2023 series, but cannot receive assessed marks due to the cancellation of all of the A2 exams. We will hold replacement exams in these two syllabuses for A2 candidates where all the exams they were due to sit for their syllabus were cancelled, so that students in this situation can get a result in August.

We will hold one additional A2 exam in A Level Mathematics and one additional A2 exam in A Level History. Both will take place on Wednesday 21 June – with Mathematics in the morning and History in the afternoon. This is after the main exam series has ended.

The British Council will share venue letters for these replacement exams with schools and private candidates latest by Wednesday 7 June. To ensure that they can deliver results on time, Cambridge can only offer the additional examination to students who have missed both A2 components due to the cancellation of exams – this is all candidates for A Level History in Pakistan, and all candidates for A Level Mathematics who are entered under option code DY or HY.

Running additional exams outside Cambridge’s normal exam series has an impact on when they can deliver results. Cambridge expects to issue the vast majority of results for these two replacement exams by 18 August, as close as possible to the main result date of 10 August, in time for admission to universities in Pakistan, the UK and many other higher education destinations. Cambridge will promptly release any results that become available between 10 and 18 August.

As Cambridge continues with the marking and grading process of the two replacement examinations, they will provide an update on the results timetable in due course. Cambridge will explain the situation to universities in Pakistan. After our international results release on 10 August, we will update schools in Pakistan further on how we can support any individual students applying to university whose results are delayed.

Cambridge is not able to offer additional examinations in any other syllabuses affected by the three days of cancelled examinations as, in every other subject, students had at least one component available for them to take in order to get a grade.

Candidates can withdraw their entry from the June 2023 exam series by 12 June and will receive a refund if they do so. The British Council has shared the complete withdrawal policy with all Cambridge schools on 16 March.
Please be aware that candidates who choose to withdraw their entries rather than receive an assessed grade will be subject to the 13-month carry forward rule, meaning that they may have to re-take their AS Level components in that syllabus. Please refer to the supporting FAQs and guidance below for queries related to this.

Thank you for the feedback and questions that you have been sending to Cambridge and to the British Council. We hope that this communication addresses many of these. We will continue to support you and your students, and keep you updated through this challenging situation. Thank you for your patience and ongoing support.

Supporting FAQs and guidance

1. Can students who have taken one A2 exam component sit these replacement exams?
Unfortunately, they will not be able to sit for these replacement exams.
There may be students who would prefer to sit an additional component rather than receiving an assessed mark. Unfortunately, these candidates will not be eligible to take the replacement papers. We offer reassurance that assessed marks are a well-established and reliable process to ensure students can receive an appropriate grade where components have been missed.
There may be students who feel they have not performed well on an exam they were able to take and want to take an additional exam to demonstrate their capabilities better. Cambridge has observed over the years that often students have performed better than they imagined – students often assume they have performed poorly on a more difficult paper that all students found challenging.

2. What is the advice for students who have missed one A2 exam component due to cancellation and who were absent with good reason from the other? Can they sit these replacement exams?
Unfortunately, Cambridge will not be able to offer the additional examination to any students who have missed other exam components that were not cancelled. Adding more students to the replacement exams would put at risk the release of exam results in time for other candidates. Cambridge is only able to issue results by 18 August with this known volume of candidates.
Where a student has missed all A2 exams due to reasons beyond their control, they can contact the British Council about their carry forward. Cambridge will then assess their eligibility for an extension to the 13-month carry-forward limit.

3. Can candidates withdraw their entries and take exams in a later exam series?
Yes. If a candidate withdraws from the exam series, the exam fee will be refunded. This includes all candidates who sat for any qualification including Cambridge O Level, IGCSE and Cambridge International AS & A Level. The refund to candidates who submitted entries through schools will be refunded to schools, and individual withdrawal will be refunded directly to private candidates. Please note that the last date to apply for a withdrawal to British Council is 12 June 2023.

4. Can A2 students who withdraw their entries and decide to sit in a later exam series get an exception to the 13-month carry forward rules?
Candidates who withdraw because they have missed all their exam components for good reason may request an extension to the 13-month limit on the carry forward of their AS Level components. Cambridge will view such requests sympathetically.
Candidates who withdraw but could have been awarded a result through assessed marks will not be eligible for an exception to 13-month rule and may have to take their AS Level components again.

5. Where students were absent from exams due to the exams’ cancellation on 10, 11 and 12 May, does the school need to apply for special consideration / absent with an acceptable reason on behalf of each candidate?
No, the schools do not need to apply for special consideration / absent with an acceptable reason where the exams were cancelled. The British Council will apply for absent with good reason for all candidates absent from examinations due to the cancelled exams. This includes private candidates.

6. Where candidates withdraw their entry with a view to sitting their examinations in a future series, how will the refund be issued?
The refund will be processed through the standard refund process, which is through bank transfer by the British Council.

Regards,
British Council
