Heinz Halm records him as a representative of a Ghulat group from the city of Seleucia-Ctesiphon ("al-Madā'in") who came to see ‘Alī in Kūfah. When Saba proclaimed divinity, then ‘Alī denied this angrily and exiled him back to Seleucia-Ctesiphon.
Jews view Saba negatively and historical Jewish sources regarded him as an apostate from Judaism. Sunni Muslims view Saba as a ghulat seeking to corrupt the message of Islam from by introducing proto-Shia beliefs. Since Saba used to hate Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, Sunni Muslims view him negatively and curse him. Sa'd ibn Abdullah al-Ash'ari al-Qummi reported in al-Maqaalaat wal-Firaq p. 20:

Before the beginning of the 18th century, the use of coffee drinks was common throughout Europe. European countries introduced this plant to tropical regions so that these countries can cultivate and mass produce coffee plants. In Europe, like the Middle East and Greater Iran, coffeehouses became a place for socializing, studying and exchanging opinions on current issues. Another similarity was the possibility of turning them into a gathering place for undesirable elements and vandals. Charles II, King of England, introduced coffeehouses as "places for traitors to meet, and to spread vulgar gossip about his Majesty and his ministers." In the 18th century, the famous Paris coffee house, Café Procope, had regular customers such as Mara, Danton and Robespierre who planned the revolution there during the French Revolution

In physical cosmology, the Big Rip is a theory which describes the ultimate fate of the universe. According to this theory, everything in the universe, even spacetime itself will be torn apart by the expansion of the universe until distances between particles will become infinite. According to the standard model of cosmology the scale factor of the universe is known to be accelerating and, in the future era it will increase more rapidly. However, this expansion is similar for every moment of time (hence the exponential law – the expansion of a local volume is the same number of times over the same time interval), and is identified by an unchanging, small Hubble constant which is ignored by any bound material structures. Similarly in the Big Rip scenario the Hubble constant increases to infinity in a finite time.

Terrance Stanley Fox (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete and activist. He is best known for his run, called The Marathon of Hope, which started on April 12, 1980 in St. John's, Newfoundland. The purpose of it was to run across Canada (with the help of an artificial leg) to get people to give money to help cancer research. He lost one of his legs due to bone cancer when he was 18. He wanted to run until he got to Vancouver Island, which was on the other side of Canada from where he started. The goal of the run was to raise 1 million Canadian dollars for cancer research. It was later to raise one dollar for every person in Canada.
Fox moved to Surrey, British Columbia in 1966 and to Port Coquitlam, British Columbia in 1968. He played basketball and did running for his high school. After he had to get his leg removed when he was 18, he kept running with a fake leg. Fox also played wheelchair basketball after he got his leg removed.
The Ghana Empire was in what is now southeastern Mauritania, Western Mali, and Eastern Senegal. It is also sometimes called the Wagadu Empire. It started in around 300 CE and ended in 1100 CE.
Many people supported and helped him during his run. He ran about the distance of a marathon every day. On August 31, 1980 near the town of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Fox's cancer spread to his lungs. He had to stop running. Fox died on , in New Westminster, British Columbia. He died a month before his 23rd birthday.
In Canada, he is considered a hero. Every year, there is the Terry Fox Run. It is a run that gives money to cancer research. As of September 2022, the run has given over 850 million Canadian dollars to cancer research.
Shortly before his death, he was made a Companion in the Order of Canada. He is the youngest person in the country to be a Companion. There is a statue of him in Ottawa (Canada's capital city), near Parliament Hill. Several schools are named after him, such as the high school he went to. He has been put on the Canadian $1 coin.
On November 12, 1976, Fox was driving to Port Coquitlam when he crashed his car into a truck. He hurt his knee in the crash, but did not do anything about it until he stopped playing basketball in March. His knee started hurting more, so he went to a hospital. The doctors told him he had bone cancer in his knee. Fox thought that he got cancer because he hurt his knee in the crash. His doctors told him this was not true. He he had to have his leg cut off. He also needed chemotherapy. Fox got a metal leg so he could still walk. He was able to walk three weeks after his leg was removed, and had to do chemotherapy for sixteen months.
The day before he got cancer surgery, Fox read about a man named Dick Traum. Dick Traum was the first amputee to finish the New York City Marathon. The story inspired Fox, and he practiced running for fourteen months. He told his family he wanted to run a marathon, but he actually wanted to run much longer. Fox was mad because cancer research did not get very much money. He wanted to run across Canada to get people to give money to cancer research. The only person he told this was his friend, Douglas Alward.
Fox had to run in a special way because of his leg. He had to do small jumps on his real leg for each step so his fake leg would keep working. Practicing running was painful because Fox had to run this way. He noticed that after 20 minutes of running, he would get used to the pain and the running would hurt less.
On September 2, 1979, Fox ran in a 17-mile (27 km) road race in Prince George, British Columbia. He was the last one to finish the race, but many people cheered for him when he finished. After the race, he told his family he wanted to run across Canada. His mother told him not to, and he got mad. She later supported Fox's run. Fox first wanted to get $1 million for cancer research. Later, he wanted to get $10 million, and then a dollar for every person who lived in Canada (24 million people).
In October 1979, Fox wrote a letter to the Canadian Cancer Society. He told them about what he wanted to do, and asked them for money so he could start the run. He told them that he was going to finish the run, even if he had to "crawl every last mile". The Cancer Society did not know if he was going to finish the run, but they supported him once a doctor said that he was able to run. The left ventricle of Fox's heart was larger than normal. Doctors told Fox about the risks of the run, but did not think his heart was a problem. They supported his run when he told them he would stop running if he had heart problems.
Fox wrote to many companies for money so he could do the run. He also wrote letters asking for money for a running leg. The Ford Motor Company gave him a camper van, and Imperial Oil gave him fuel for it. Adidas also gave him running shoes. Fox did not take money from companies that wanted him to advertise what they sold. He did not want anything except cancer research to get money from his run.
When he started the Marathon of Hope, Fox had to run through very bad weather. He ran through strong wind, rain, and snow before he got to Channel-Port aux Basques. The 10,000 people in the town cheered for him, and gave him $10,000. During the run, Fox got angry at people he thought were stopping him from running. He also got mad at Alward for other reasons. Fox's brother, Darrell, joined them when they got to Nova Scotia. This was so Fox would not get mad at Alward as much.When he ran through Quebec, Fox had many problems because he could not speak French. Many people driving cars also tried to get him off of the road. Fox got to Montreal on June 22. By the time he was in Montreal, people had given $200,000 to cancer research. The creator of Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts, Isadore Sharp, let Fox's group stay at his hotel and get food. He also said he would donate $2 for every mile Fox ran, and got almost 1,000 others to do this as well. This was because Sharp's son died of cancer, so he wanted Fox to finish his run. The Canadian Cancer Society told Fox that more people would donate to cancer research if he got to Ottawa on Canada Day (July 1). He stayed in Montreal for a few more days to do this.
Fox came into Ontario on June 28. Many people were on the roads to cheer for him, and the Ontario Provincial Police protected him with police cars while he ran. Even though it was very hot, he still ran 26 miles (42 km) every day. When he got to Ottawa, he met Pierre Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada. He was also honored at many sports games in the city. He did a kickoff (kicking the ball from the middle of the field to start the game) at a Canadian Football League game. Fox was excited that he was being honored.
On July 11, Fox ran to Toronto. 10,000 people were cheering for Fox when he came into the city. Darryl Sittler, a National Hockey League player, gave him one of his hockey jerseys while he was running. The Cancer Society got about $100,000 on July 11. He threw the first pitch at a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians. He kept running through Ontario after leaving the city. Bobby Orr, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, met Fox and gave him $25,000 for cancer research. Fox thought meeting Orr was the best part of the run.
