It is known that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had a very difficult life. All of his daughters died before him except one, and he had a wife, Khadijah, who was very dear and important to him, who not only preceded him in death but died at a very critical period of his life. As a matter of fact, she must have been quite a woman: When the first revelation came to him, he ran home to her, afraid. Certainly, even today one would have a hard time trying to find an Arab who would tell you, "I was ... Read More

by Ahmad Hassan Iraqi Journalist and Writer based in Baghdad. One of the hazardous issues appearing after the latest war is the widespread begging on streets by children. On a background of unemployment and the lack of jobs for thousands in Baghdad and other governorates, such phenomenon is one of the most important ones facing the Iraqi society at this stage. The practice did not start at this stage, though. It has continued for years because of the conditions of society. In most regions, many such beg... Read More

* War on Terror * The airwaves are buzzing with talk of a War on Terror. Surely this is a war that can neither be waged nor won. There is no defined enemy, but the label 'terrorist' seems to be one size fits all. The terrorist is whoever the caller decides to drag into his net.

Also how such a war be won when terror is under the control of the ones calling for war. It is not a war that ... Read More

By Lamya Tawfik Freelance Journalist It is not uncommon these days to find customers at a supermarket closely examining food packages. In the past, they would simply read the ingredients list and the expiry date. Today, with the double-edged sophistication of our lives, we are faced with a detailed nutritional label urging us to take note of what it says. A required component of packaged food labels in many countries today, the nutritional label became mandatory in the US in 1990 with the Nutritional ... Read More

Research also showed that the serving size shown on most nutritional labels confused many customers who were unable to note the difference between a serving size and their normal portion size. The serving size is a recommended portion size but the actual consumption (portion) may differ and so some math needs to be done if the information on the label is to be used as a guide to daily intake. Consumers used terms such as "portion size" and "serving size" interchangeably, according to an IFIC study. "They wer... Read More

Once the label was coined, it was only natural to conduct research to look into how it was put into use by consumers. The nutritional label is being used by the consumer as a tool, said Taylor, to make dietary choices but not to build their diet. "As much as you'd like to think that they would use the food label to build their diet and track it during the day, that's very unusual. You have to be a highly motivated person in order to use the food package for that purpose," she said, adding that the customer m... Read More

A thousand nightingales and parrots are flying in my directions. The news of my arrival reached the fish in the sea; The ferment of the sea created a thousand waves. (Divan 1140:1-4) By Rumi Tr...
