KPI between competition and contribution

I stumbled upon this quote which I think it is absolutely true. Sometimes, I feel that the KPI (Key Performance Index) given to each staff, faculty, research group and etc., will keep people away from teamwork since it unintentionally creates competition, even though the initial goal is to measure staff’s contributions.

Jinn and Demon in Islam

Do Muslims believe in supernatural or paranormal? From the site that I shared below, it seems Muslims who observe their prayers tend to believe in the existence of Jinn. There are also Muslims who believe in witchcraft and Talismans. As a Muslim, we have to believe in the existence of Jinn and demons. But, we should not forget that Allah is our great PROTECTOR. Only Allah alone can keep us safe from all evils.
