![]() ![]() There’s no backstory, no explanation and, ultimately, no reason for this to exist. As soon as you start a new game, you’re thrown directly into controlling some sort of techno-ninja armed with a katana and dress-up in full environmental suit and equipped with a respirator, who tries to makes his way through some sort of scientific compound in order to kill a mole. Yeah, right.īut, let’s back up a little, because there’s more than just these three kids. Coupled with daddy issues from the main character, whom, by the way, is the heir to a vast fortune. There’s a problem right there, it’s hard to believe such a flawed and convenient premise. We are presented with a trio of students, two of them aspiring journalists, in their quest to unravel the mysterious reports of unusual activities in the Banoi archipelago. The story does little to motivate you, instead it’s a big mess with no direction and a poor excuse for a narrative. The main character is totally unappealing and incapable to empathize with. Visuals are Viewtiful (pun intended), but nothing we haven’t seen before, lastly, the game itself is closer to the hack-and-slash instead an open-world exploration RPG that other games in the series have used. Instead of using the previously established first-person view the game is set in third person second, it abandons the RPG mechanics of the first game thirdly, the game is presented in a cartoonish fashion, with cell-shading animation –which is the most appealing quality of the game. That is why I can’t understand why the studio behind Escape Dead Island decided to head a completely different direction from the core series. Before you continue reading, I need to address the fact that I have not played any Dead Island title prior to this one, but I am acquaintance with the game and its gameplay, which I find very interesting. Then again, there is a fine line between not taking yourself too seriously and trying to do so and failing. Some zombie games don’t take themselves too seriously, Dead Rising and its black humor and ridiculous weapon set, for example, and not every game dealing with the atrocities of the post-apocalypse, sinister corporations and the undead have to be realistic and grim. Dead Island’s spin-off, Escape Dead Island, is the complete opposite of this. We can mention Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead, the first Resident Evil, The Last of Us, Dead Rising, Day Z, and, ultimately, Dead Island. Nevertheless, there are some exemplary ways how to portray them and how to make a game out of them successfully. I don’t want to be the one who says it, but zombies are played out, even though I am a fan of the genre. Zombies, like the plague itself, have been infesting every single aspect of media and entertainment. ![]()

![]() Upon this he remarked: That is the faith manifest. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Do you really perceive it? They said: Yes. Some people from amongst the Companions of the Apostle (ﷺ) came to him and said: Verily, we perceive in our minds that which every one of us considers it too grave to express. In a valid hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah RA, he said: This is because, our agitation and restlessness in our doubt is a sign that we still have a firm faith. Lastly, here we state some tips on overcoming doubt (waswas) in belief.įirst: Calm down and stop worrying. ![]() “Renew your faith! (The companions) asked: O the Messenger of Allah! How do we renew our faith? The Prophet PBUH replied: Increase in saying la Ilaaha Illallah” ![]() This aligns with the hadith stating the importance of renewing one’s faith. However, we would like to advise those who face this situation to ask for forgiveness from Allah SWT through istighfar and renewing the articles of faith. “Allah has forgiven for me my nation their mistakes and forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do." And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” “…And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but what your hearts intended. This is in accordance with the saying of al-Quran: Thus, it is in the category of false, error and is without intention because his heart is not fixed (istiqrar) with the intention of blasphemy. In the situation of the questioner, he accidentally utter words of blasphemy (I’m Atheist) in his troubled mind and is confused with doubts. Imam Nawawi also highlights that as long as these thoughts are not fixed (like blasphemous thoughts or other bad thoughts) and quickly avoided, then it is considered that particular person has not committed blasphemy. This is because, a person is of no choice when this happens, and there is no way out. Imam Nawawi states that inner thoughts, if they are not fixed, then the person is forgiven by Allah SWT according to what has been agreed by the scholars. "Allah has accepted my invocation to forgive what whispers in the hearts of my followers, unless they put it to action or utter it." In this scenario, if the doubt comes from mere disturbed thoughts or the whispers of shaytan, then it does not invalidate one’s faith as long as he is not affected. Sometimes, there comes a thought in his heart questioning on who is the creator of the universe? For example, a scientist who do a lot of researches on the origin of the universe. More often than not, they come without notice and with no intention beforehand. However, one cannot easily be free from bad thoughts and the whispers of shaytan that contradict with the faith. Zan is apparently a high level of belief, almost reaching to the level of yaqin (certainty), but still does not reach the ultimate belief.Īll sorts of doubts are unacceptable in having faith and able to jeopardize one’s belief. Meanwhile, waham does not reach even half of it. Syak can be said as a medium level of doubt between believing and not. ![]() It is prohibited for us to have even the slightest syak, waham and zan on this matter. It should be known that the fundamental principle of belief is that it is obligatory for us to have faith. Blessings and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, his wives, his family, companions and all those that follow his teachings to the day of judgement. Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah wabarakatuh.Īlhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah for the countless blessings He has blessed us all with. I am currently extremely worried about this matter. Is this considered as blasphemy? I hope that you may answer this question. I even accidentally said, “Am I an atheist?’ many times. While showering, my thoughts got so messed up that I questioned the existence of Allah SWT. I just awoke from my sleep, had an argument with my mother, then I took a bath.

Researchers believe that narcolepsy type 1 is likely an autoimmune disease. Brain injuries: Damage to parts of the brain that control sleep and wakefulness, especially to the hypothalamus, may contribute to narcolepsy.It may be that certain environmental factors must be present for a person to develop narcolepsy. Environmental factors: A complex interaction between genes and the environment may contribute to narcolepsy.In Europe, there was an increase in narcolepsy cases in 2009 after widespread H1N1 flu vaccines, but there was no such increase in Canada, which also used the vaccine. In some people, certain types of influenza may trigger the disease. Immune system issues: Unusual activity in the immune system may be a risk factor for narcolepsy.Some other potential causes and risk factors for narcolepsy include: Other causes and risk factors of narcolepsy This also transfers from parent to child if the child receives a single gene from a parent. Autosomal dominant narcolepsy, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, which causes diabetes and obesity, as well as narcolepsy.It develops in people who have a mutation in the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) gene. Autosomal dominant cerebral ataxia, deafness, and narcolepsy, which causes deafness, narcolepsy, and cataplexy.Some rare types of narcolepsy are autosomal dominant, which means that a person will develop the disease if they inherit one gene from a parent for the disease. Researchers have less understanding of the causes of narcolepsy type 2, though some studies have found certain genetic variants may increase the risk. This means that this gene likely plays a role, but does not necessarily mean that it is the sole cause, nor that all people with this genetic variant get narcolepsy.Ībout 20% of people without narcolepsy also carry this variant. Researchers think this may be due to an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack these neurons in the brain.Ī variation in the specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene, HLA-DQB1*06:02, is present in most people with this form of narcolepsy. In narcolepsy type 1, the neurons that contain hypocretin, which doctors may also call orexin, either do not exist or are severely damaged. Researchers have identified a strong genetic link to narcolepsy type 1, which causes narcolepsy and cataplexy. Share on Pinterest The Good Brigade/Getty Images Keep reading to learn more about the genetic factors associated with narcolepsy, including the signs and outlook for the condition. However, sometimes narcolepsy clusters in families, suggesting at least some forms of the disease might have a strong genetic association. Unlike some diseases with a strong genetic association, narcolepsy is usually sporadic, which means that people develop narcolepsy even without a family history. Even so, many questions remain about the causes of narcolepsy, and most research suggests a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Researchers have a better understanding of the genetic underpinnings of narcolepsy type 1 than narcolepsy type 2. ![]() Narcolepsy type 2 has the same symptoms but without cataplexy - a temporary loss of muscle control. ![]() ![]() Narcolepsy type 1 causes cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness, unusual sleep patterns, and reduced neurons in the hypothalamus. However, changes in one group of genes may increase the risk of having narcolepsy or conditions linked to narcolepsy. There is no evidence that a single gene or genetic variation causes narcolepsy. ![]() ![]() Via joannamroman Harry Potter fans, unite. Via tattooer_jina One for the Scorpio babies.
