Fasting

I would have to talk about fasting.

Fasting is religious task which is doing by Muslims. They stop eating and drinking from Fajr to Maghrib for the whole month of Ramadan.
Purpose of fasting is not only stop eating and drinking. The main purpose of fasting is to follow the instructions of Allah. Also, fasting helps Muslims to avoid himself from desired things. It helps them to be more batians and strong.
During this month, they read more Quraan and perform more worships.This practice increase their faith and strength the link and relationship with Allah.
Fasting clears the sole from all sins. As a gift after Ramadan fasting, Muslim receive Eid for three days.
  

Fighting against poverty-3

We have to concentrate on the humanity values including social, religious and moral values.

I believe the most motivated values are the religious values. All religions are encouraging the charity values, giving high attention to the social levels and looking for balanced society where everybody take care of each other’s.

Rich people should not think about themselves only, their money are gift from God and they should allocate part of their money to poor people.

In Islam, there are many major windows to contribute to others such as Zakah which is annual charity. Every Muslim should pay it depend on his wealth. There are many other charities on Islam that can be paid any time depend on people ethics and beliefs.

Islam encourage its followers to extend charities by promising them big rewards during their life and after death.

By this education, all Muslim people are encouraged to help each other and support poor people anywhere. So, religious values are the most important factor fighting against poverty.

Mysteries events-2

At the university, there were terrified, honest and excellent professor, all student know him and they understand his explanation.

In one of the periods, student became saw their professor wear pink baby girl watch on his hand. They are astonishing. Their professor has high reputation, but why he wear pink baby girl watch? Some of students said he is not a man, he might be from the third gender, others said he should be stupid, and others said he must be absolutely backwards. Professor behavior made students be in confusion, wondering and saying hideous words about him.

In one of the days, one of the students entered the professor’s office to ask him some questions. During this time, he noticed awful picture. It was the picture of professor little daughter who was died. But the surprising is not here. It is from the pink baby girl watch that she was wearing on hand. It is the same of professor watch.

This surprising explained why was professor wear pink girl watch? He lost his daughter and the watch is the only thing that left in her memory.  Students was very evil when they took painful and fatal  words about him without they know the truth.

Ahlam Mosteghanemi-1

Introduction

Ahlam Mosteghanemi is an Algerian writer who has been called “The world’s best known Arabophone woman novelist”. She was identified by Forbes Magazine in 2006 as the most successful Arabic writer and leading women in literature.

Birth and Life

In 1953, Ahlam was born in Tunis, where her father was exiled during the liberation war. After the independence, her family moved to Algeria where the father occupied high positions but during the assassination attempt of the Algerian President, her father was targeted and seriously injured which forced Ahlam to take up the task to provide her family as a radio host.

In 1970s , Ahlam has moved to Paris and got married to Lebanese Journalist. They met in Algeria, where her husband was preparing a thesis about “Arabization and Cultural Conflicts in Independent Algeria”. She has obtained Ph.D in Sociolog from Sorbonne University 1985.

Career

Ahlam published her first compilation of poems (To the Days’ Haven) during her work as a radio host. Also, (The Writing in a Moment of Nudity) was published as a second compilation. After settleing down in 1993 in Lebanon, she published her first novel (Memory of the Flesh) which has a lot of emotional and national sensations. It had beed sold over a million copies. It was succeeded by three more great novels (Chaos of The Senses), (Bed Hopper) and (Black Suits You So Well).

Ahlam lectured in several prestigious universities as a visiting professor. Her novels have been taught in many universities and translated into many foreign languages.

Special qualities , important attributes and legacy

She was part of the first generation to acquire the right to study in Arabic after more than a century of prohibition by the French colonization.

She was able to get out of the linguistic exile in which French colonization had relegated the Algerian intellectuals.The Arabic language provided her with a sense of liberation but at the same time, the Algerian society was not prepared to see a girl expresses herself freely on subjects such as love and women’s rights.

Her writings contributed into enriching the Arabic literary scene with her highly acclaimed sentimental and poetic work.

For over 35 years, Ahlam has written four novels and five anthologies. Through her writing, she has led the fight agianst corruption, injustice, totalitarian regimes, fundamentalism, new forms of colonization and the denigration of women’s rights.

“Memory of the Flesh “ novel was one of the best hundred Arabic novels and she had got Najeeb Mahfooz award for it in 1998. Currently, she lives in Beirut.
