Fifteenths LAW AND LEGAL
Definition:

In English law. This was originally a tax or tribute, levied at ln-tervals by act of parliament, consisting of one-fifteenth of all the movable property of the subject or personalty in every city, town-ship, nnd borough. Under Edward III., the taxable property was assessed, and the value of its fifteenth part (then about £29,000) was recorded in the exchequer, whence the tax, levied dn that valuation, continued to be called a “fifteenth,” although, as the wealth of the kingdom increased, the name ceased to be an accurate designation of the propor-tion of the tax to the value taxed. See 1 Bl. Comm. 309

Few words of positivity

When Allah (swt) decrees that a door in your life is to be opened, no matter how hard you try to close it, no matter how far you run away from it, it will remain open until you walk through. When Allah (swt) decrees that a door is to be closed, no matter how many times you knock on that door, try to break it down, or cry on your knees in front of it, begging it to open again, it will never be opened. Grieve in front of that closed door if you must. Stand there for a time and look at it. Hold your hands over your heart and press down to calm it's quickened pained rhythm. Then know- know beyond the shadow of a doubt, know in your heart of hearts- that when you trust Allah and move forward, he will open a more beautiful door for you. You will walk through it and perhaps you will even praise him for having closed the past door you loved so much. He is Al-Fattah, the Opener. May the doors He opens for us always lead us back to him.
