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

Hello all my friends

I just tried so hard and made a funny and awkward social experiment video. If you just take the time to watch it and like it that would help me a lot. I will really appreciate it and will be thankful.

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.

Hi All!!  I am hoping you are all doing well.  I am not much of a blogger.  I find it difficult to find a subject to write about that anyone would find interesting. That being said, I did find something that I felt was worthy and touching while watching a documentary/movie the other day.

Harry de Leyer had been raised around horses all of his life.  He was as much a part of them as they were of him.  Fighting against the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Harry, a Dutchman, along with his family

Are you trying to decide if teaching English in China is right for you? There are countless possible jobs, travel destinations, and opportunities out there. How do you know if China is the right place?

I have been back in America for over six months after teaching in China for a year. Now that I’ve had a little time back home, I can clearly see how my experiences abroad have impacted me in the long-term.

Here are

Is " Time "  the same for all the people? 

    Does it have the same meaning for you or for one who is suffering from serious cancer where there is no hope to live more than two weeks? 

    Is it the same for a little baby or for a very old man or lady?

    Is it going one with the same speed when we are full of joy or full of sorrow?

    I am sure most of us have thought that the feeling of the time can't be the same for all the people, situations and ...

    So it can be related to some different f

Hey there! 

For my die-hard fans of this series out there; here's part 8.

Enjoy.

Tomorrow is the first day of the ten days of the month of Thulhijjah. These are considered the special seasons of worship. Which Allah, The Almighty preferred over all the other days of the year.
According to hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) they reported that Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days" The people asked, "Not even Jihad for th

Be warn it may be the sad story of me

The tears, may be the memento for me

Which I am clearly seeing from your eyes

May you be wanting to hide from me?

I know I am surrounded by mirages

Again, I run after if it is love for me.

How I have left from your city dejected

This is not migration but disaster for me.

The way the dejection always comes to me

As it is madly in love with me

I will not tell anybody

You love more than your god, me

Trust me or not

 I swear

I’m worn-out,

I’m worn-out of everything,

But your words are refreshing,

Your words are pacifying,

Something is killing me,

I am defeated,

Your words are passionate,

Your words are diplomatic thrills my soul,

I’m crushed,

I’m lifeless,

I’m dreamy,

Your words are calming,

Your words are massage to my head,

I’m dead,

I’m exhausted,

I’m addicted,

Your words are healing,

Your words are drugs,

Are you just a fancy or a nightmare?

Trust me or not ?

I swear, I’m worn-out,

 I’m worn-out of everything,

It has been a while that the academic writing industry has established its presence as one of the most progressive sectors dealing with academics. However, there are contradictions in this matter as well. There are people who are of the opinion that assignment writing helpers are mostly fake, under qualified, dishonest, amateur; and so on and so forth. But this is something which isn’t entirely true. Here are the four most common misconceptions you need to dispel, right at this moment.

A smartphone is something interesting to have.  It is so helpful in communication and learning. Most of people wish to pocess a smartphone to benefit from many different applications. As soon as the net is connected to your device, the world is at your finger tips. You may spend a few days doing good activities, learning and reading news etc. After that you are pulled in with more and more activities such as chatting, making whatsapp status and watching videos. Time flies and you spend ages gett

              Years ago, a campaign to make people aware of abandoned pets started in my country mostly on summers. Media keep on remembering us nowadays but still I wonder how a dog which is supposed to be loved can be left with such a cold blood, with no feelings or remorse.

That puppy that was once bought by a parents to please their daughter for Christmas grew up, as a result it is now an impediment for the summer holidays, for their moving to a new house, for its maintenance... w
