Eid Aladha is an important feast for Muslims. It is on the tenth of the month of Thulhijjah which is today, Tuesday, here in Saudi Arabia, but In some countries like Indonesia, Morocco, and some other countries, it will be on Wednesday. As we mentioned before, dates may vary. It comes after the pause of Arafa, and it brings to the present, how Prophet Abraham (blessings of Allah be upon him) wanted to slaughter his son Ismail and he was given a sheep by angel Gabriel as a sacrifice instead of h

Is it a stupid question?
Imagine that you lived in 800 A.D and someone asked you the following question: Can I fly like a bird?
Your answer might be one of the two: Are you crazy? Or Wow I’ve never heard such a question. You are the first man asked that. No matter what your response is, the man kept studying about birds and tried to answer his question himself. Now he became the first person who demonstrated a controlled flight. Could he manage to stay between the earth and the sky for few mi
You may have heard from many motivational speakers and trainers the phrase “Have faith in yourself and believe that you can do anything if your will is strong and concrete.” Such expressions are a huge confidence booster for people, and it helps them to make better decisions while being focused and determined on their objectives.
Frequently, people are more affected towards their self-confidence building when they read or hear about real examples of less motivated people and how they helped thems
The title of this blog gave me the idea of making my next discussion. It is about adornments and ornamentations for women.
My wife wanted a pearl necklace for her birthday as a gift. Necklaces may have been one of the earliest types of adornment worn by women.
It was too expensive for me. I told her a watch would do. she was not convinced, but we went to a jewelry shop. Outside, by the left side of the door, displayed on a cupboard, there were earrings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, tiaras, co
Today is the ninth of Thulhijjah, the twentieth of August 2018. It is the greatest day of Hajj. Pilgrims have arrived early in the area of Mount Arafat from the area of Mina. The significance and importance of this day are very obvious to us. This is the day of joy, the day of forgiveness. The day of proudness. The day in which Allah frees his slave from the fire of hell more than any other day.
The Almighty glorified and exalted be He, draws to the lowest heaven and boasts of the people on earth
Today, we are on the eighth day of Thulhijjah, and it is also the eighth of the virtuous first ten days which we had mentioned. Day of Arafa 2018 here, in Saudi Arabia is going to be in the evening of Monday, Thulhijjah Ninth which corresponds to the twentieth of August, and ends in the evening of Tuesday, Thulhijjah tenth that will be August twenty-one. Of course, dates may vary.
It is called the day of Tarwiyah (irrigation) because pilgrims, in the past, used to come to Mecca with their camels,
The story says that Franz Kafka encountered a little girl in the park where he went walking daily. She was crying. She had lost her doll and was desolate.
Kafka offered to help her look for the doll and arranged to meet her the next day at the same spot. Unable to find the doll, he composed a letter from the doll and read it to her when they met.
“Please do not mourn me, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write you of my adventures.” This was the beginning of many letters. When he and
Many people keep on asking or analyzing the question: "What's the purpose of our life?" So I'm answering them: "Why do you want to know the answer?"
In fact there is no answer. Each and every of us is an individual whose values, standards, moral etc. differ from another one, which logically leads us to the conclusion that what's the purpose of life for one person is total meaningless bullshit for another one.
The thing is, why to overthink such questions instead of focusing on living and enjoy
In psychology, the term self-esteem is used to describe a person's overall sense of self-worth or personal value. In other words, how much you appreciate and like yourself.
1. Self-esteem is often seen as a personality trait, which means that it tends to be stable and enduring.
2. Self-esteem can involve a variety of beliefs about yourself, such as the appraisal of your own appearance, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors.
Today is the sixth day of Thulhijjah. The day after tomorrow will be the eighth. The hajji (pilgrim) reaches Migat (the station where the pilgrim wears his Ihram, the white garment for the intention of pilgrimage). He starts his journey reciting Talbbiyah, towards Mecca to make tawaf al gudoom (the arrival circumambulation) around Ka'ba. Then he goes to the area of Mina or Muna, both are correct to spend the night.
Early at dawn, the pilgrim moves to the honorable area of Mount Arafat. Mount Araf
The greatest day of Hajj, Arafa Day.
I forgot to add one thing, a complete Hajj (pilgrimage) is rewarded by Jannah (Paradise). It is in Hadith narrated by Albukhari and Muslim, Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him) said, Prophet Mohammed ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ((He who makes Hajj and never makes sexual intercourse (with his wife) or talks unjustly will go back as if his mother gave birth to him the first time)).
Pilgrims stay there and before sunset on the Arafa
It won’t be wrong to say balancing studies and life can be really challenging for college students. A number of commitments keep students involved throughout the time. Attending regular classes, writing assignments, preparing for exams are among the prime ones for an average college student.
On the other hand, socializing and working part-time can at times result in deteriorating the overall study performance. In such circumstances, learning how to stay productive at your college and still have
Recently, immigrant has become a major worldwide issue. The U.S president Donald Trump has stated that he will make a long wall on the border between the U.S and Mexico, because the U.S is troubled by the illegal immigration. The UK decided to break away from the EU because they didn't want to accept immigrants. I have heard the German people have changed their tolerant opinions towards immigrants to intolerant ones after a terrorist attack at the Christmas Fair in 2016. The Italian prime minist
We all want success, we want to be successful and feel successful. We chase money, fame, power, education, relationships and a thousand other things without ever stopping to ask one essential questions... What, actually, SUCCESS?
Personal success is defined by how content and enjoyable your life is. That is not to say that challenges and disappointments are not included in this. Most people commonly describe success, as being wealthy in life. This is not the meaning entirely, the definition of su
One of the reasons I decided on Shanghai as my destination of choice to teach English was the fact that the city had so much to offer when I had researched. I took comfort in the fact that even if my travelling did not meet my bucket list desires, I would be satisfied knowing I live in Shanghai. The city has far surpassed my expectations with the diverse range of sights and activities constantly going on.
What has been unexpected is the variety of water towns that Shanghai has to offer. Something

We are still on these first ten days of the month of Thulhijjah. It is the fourth day. Another four days ahead for Hajj. Hajj (pilgrimage) will be on the ninth. Hajj is a faithful religious journey for the sake of Allah, The Almighty. It is the fifth pillar of Islam according to Hadith narrated by Abdullah, son of caliph Omar Ibnul Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them), he said, I heard the messenger of Allah, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying:
((Islam is based on five;

COZY FROG
“At that small and enchanting fountain
rests cheerfully a chirpy frog
while smiling, singing, croaking
it says “welcome” to every door
I can feel that refreshing water
with its calm and shiny drops
greeting and reviving that tiny-little frog…”
I was just about to post this photo when I read Rosemary’s blog “Writing tips”. She suggested that “there is no flawless text and making mistakes is a healthy sign of good learning”…..then I felt encouraged to write a few words related to my picture.
