Tomorrow is the tenth of Almuharram, the month of the first Islamic calendar. This date marks the day that Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) was chased by Pharaoh. When they reached the sea, the followers of Prophet Musa were desperate and they told him that Pharaoh would eliminate them. God told Musa to hit the sea with his stick and it was divided into two divisions. They were like two great hills. A path was made between them, and the followers of Prophet Musa passed.

How does the poet feel in this poem?
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was closed a week ago. It was postponed until this year because the coronavirus infection started spreading all over the world last year. However, the spread of infection hadn't stopped even after a year, so some media of the world and even Japan opposed the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The Japanese prime minister, Suga, said "It was easier to stop the Olympics, but we want to prove and give the hope that Olympics can be held in a pandemic with strict infection control measures."
The Pride of Indus River
A rare species of dolphin is in the Indus River. That is the pride of Indus. According to Nazeer Virani (the guardian of Dolphins) about 200 kilometers area near Sukur Barrage, there are 30 Dolphins. In another area of the river, there are nearly 1800 to 2000. Unfortunately, these Dolphins are blind because the water of the river is so polluted that light can’t reach underwater. So, it’s impossible to see. That makes Dolphins blind. But they have adjusted themselve

Hello dear MyEC friends,
I'm glad to see many of you sound and active on MyEC. I'm sorry for making you worry. Alhamdulillah, I'm very well now. :)
It's true that I had been through the hard day last month. But it's not really bad. I'd thought the worst thing but then I focused on the recovery. If you would like to know, here is the story.
It starts from Saturday, 17th July, 2021. I had a fever and catched a cold, fair pain. I consumed honey every morning, but in three days, no much effect. Tempera
Silent love
After taking a deep breath, I stood up on my toes, and dived, passing through the cool air, my fingers touched the base of the stream, then swam up back to the surface, looked here and there, no sign of the bouquet. The flow of water was fast. I dived again and swam blindly. After a while, I saw a bouquet that was far away. I had to swim carefully to avoid hitting myself with stones. I swam up back to the surface and took a deep breath. Once again, I dived and after swimming for a

Beauty of Kohsar
I was on vacations and all my cousins visited our home. After dinner, we sat all together. Suddenly one of my cousins Ahmed asked Farhan, ' Where did you go in your last vacations?'
We went to a wonderland by plane from Rawalpindi to Gilgit. After a one-night stay, we left for Hunza. All the views were very marvelous. When we reached Karimabad passing through the Dour, there was a magnificent scene. The most beautiful of the peak of Raka Posh was in front of us.
Sometimes people tend to give a judgement or believe in things related to some of the world big and rich culture . Just like that giving a false generalization according to one thought known about them . I have call it stereotype culture . We related many nations around the globe to one single form of act , food or manners in the same way we do with individuals.
Here we go to our comfort zone for a quick judgement , while we need more to judge and a lot of evidence .
I was in the cha
Seawater evaporates and becomes vapor. It is cooled in the sky and becomes clouds. Clouds make rain and it falls down on the ground and sea. Water circulates like this.
Herbivorous animals eat plants and carnivorous animals eat herbivorous animals. They die in due time and their dead bodies become nutrition for plants. Life also circulates like this.
People work and get money. They buy things and services from companies. Companies get a profit from customers and distribute the profit to their work
The train is moving fast.
The heat of love increases.
Try to be happy in your love.
If that love is too much for you, do not surrender
your heart to the days' behaviors.
Because the train is moving fast.
Love exists in the world, from eons past.
Stars twinkle at night, and darkness likes light.
birds love each other,
There is a beautiful song in the garden,
Our nightly encounters were nice.
gentle and peaceful whispers.
That train is still moving fast.
Building on my last blog post, which was 7 years ago, what book, especially fiction, from your native country or territory would you recommend to me?
Most of you will be English learners so you will be recommneding to me books written by non-native English authors.
I have the list of books compiled in the Reading the World blog but those are books she selected. This way I can get books you suggest giving my reading list a different feel from hers.
And I am interested in modern authors more th
09.00: After busy morning, the laziness started coming in.
Tidying up all things and checking some social media notifications have done. What else? I have online work, but okay, I'm just freelancer, this made me feel more relaxed and do procrastination. Stttt, don't tell my boss! DD.
The news of covid-19 in my country is absolutely horrible. Day by day, people die and die, die more, the closer ones .... :(( This is like a bomb which we don't know where it will fall. :|. Old, young, or child ones,

Hey!
I have not been active here for several months. This is mainly due to the fact that I moved to another city and settled down here. I constantly have new plans reborn, how to help others and myself in learning English, and I constantly do not have enough time to start realizing them with high quality.
This evening I was doing a task that sounds like this: Write a short but exciting story, beginning with the phrase "Jack was asleep in the chair, dreaming, when the phone rang ". I bring my ess
Home is a place where we almost feel safe, delighted, relaxed and comfortable. And every home has a cozy place which is extremely special to us, provides the warmth of protection, a pleasant feeling always whenever we sit there. If I talk about my private place at home then it's the open space outside my room where I can stay for hours without seeking any company. The grace of the sky is noticeable apparently from there and it seems that the sky has opened its arm like a mother whenever u need
