Shahjahan's own court chronicle, the Badshahnama, admits (page 403, vol 1) that a grand mansion of unique splendour, capped with a dome (Imaarat-a-Alishan wa Gumbaze) was taken from the Jaipur Maharaja Jaisigh for Mumtaz's burial, and the building was known as Raja Mansingh's palace.

The plaque put by the Archaeology Department outside the Taj-Mahal describes the edifice as a mausoleum built by Shahjahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, over 22 years from 1631 to 1653. That plaque is a specimen of historical bungling.
Firstly, the plaque sites no authority for its claim.
Secondly the lady's name was Mumtaz-ul-Zamani and not Mumtaz Mahal.
Thirdly, the period of 22 years is taken from some notings by a French visitor, Tavernier, to the exclusion of all Muslim versions.

My friend/colleague (I no longer work there) keeps mentioning about going out one night. I've made a suggestion, but it's been too pricey for her (she wants to go to see a westend show). She told me if she hears of any cheap theatre tickets she'd let me know and vice a versa. So far nothing. I've told her I've seen some cheap shows to go to, which is in both our price range. She does keep saying she'd like to meet before Christmas and so I left it as, "Well, if we don't decide on a show soon, we may never meet". She hasn't answered. There are 3 shows in our price range, but it never pulls off somehow. I happily agreed to purchase these tickets over the net, as she's not keen on her details going on the internet. She does want to go to a show, but nothing goes ahead. What shall I do?

I've owned my 97 grand am for 3 years now. I've only put 25k miles on it. I've replaced both the front and rear rotors since i've owned the car. However I just had my car checked by one of the major chains and they said the pads were fine but i need to replace the rotors. How often are rotors replaced? Why couldn't they just resurface them? I dont drive often and I'm not heavy on the breaks. It just sounds kinda suspicious to have to replace rotors twice within 25k miles. What should I do to make sure they aren't taking me for a ride (so to speak)?

Do you think that christians believe in other gods ?
Because if you admit that muslim worship another God that means that you didn't get it again >>> God is one and only, not 2, not 3 not many because if you believe that God is more than one person, you are a polytheist.!!!

My resting heart rate seems too high all the time. I am 16 years old, 6 feet tall and 128 lbs., and my resting pulse is always between 130-140 bpm. Also, every so often (while I am resting, not during or after physical activity), my pulse slows and I feel hot with a tightening in my chest. My heart feels like it has trouble pumping, but then it quickly speeds up and I return to normal. These 'episodes' last for only a few seconds. I don't think it's anxiety. My bp is normally between 110/75 and 105/70. Is something wrong, or is it puberty, or something else? Please answer.
