‏, Hello , I am Yacoub, I am 29 years old, I am from Gaza City and the father of a girl named Kiraz, two and a half years old, and my wife Noor is 24 years old, my daughter and my wife and I live difficult days in the absence of the needs of life from food and drink. I also live in a tent in very harsh conditions, and I lost my work and the place was demolished and I lost everything, and my house was also very damaged and we were surrounded by destruction from everywhere, and all the houses of my relatives have been demolished. We don't know where we're going after the war is over, and I struggle daily to get the necessities of life, let alone be dangerous and dying every day. There is no safe place in Gaza. We die slowly. I appeal to your humanity to donate to me and help me so that I can provide food for my family and protect them from diseases. My daughter also needs diapers and I support 8 people, including my father is 65 years old, my mother 50 years old, my brother Ayoub, 30 years old, and his children Sarah is 4 years old and generous one year, because they are old and they cannot provide for their needs by themselves. I will try to collect the amount so that I can do so and my family can escape the war to a safe place and live a decent life. They ask for $5,000 per person, and that's more than we can afford. My daughter suffers from dermatitis due to the intensity of the heat in the tents, and I hope it will be treated as soon as possible. Share the link with your friends. Every small donation will help make a difference, please help me 🍉🙏🥺🥺🍉

2023 Wrap-up

I fulfilled 31 countries for the World Challenge this year, bringing my total up to 57 out of 208.

I also read about 14 other books that were repeats of countries, additional books in series, and ones I just randomly picked up, so something like 44 in total.

I also finished up all the backlog of countries I had rolled with the randomizer, so in the new year I will get to roll some new ones - yay, exciting.

So here are my top favorites from the year!

Top 5 reads in 2023

The Orphan Sky by Ella Leya

A really beautiful novel of a prodigy pianist coming of age in Soviet Azerbaijan. Musical prose and just breathtaking story.

2. The Exiles of Crocodile Island by Henye Meyer

This was an unexpectedly really good book that I was lucky to find for the tiny islands of São Tomé & Príncipe. Following a group of Jewish children forced to a Portuguese settlement. Really insightful characterization and lovely writing.

3. The Man Who Spoke Snakish by Andrus Kivirähk

Such a unique folklore-esque story by an Estonian author. A clash of modernity with ancient ways, and what gets forgotten.

4. The Key by Sara Elfgren & Mats Strandberg

Book 3 and finale of the Engelsfors series set in Sweden really brought the series to an amazing climax and gave us great character development. Also I think, the longest book I read this year.

5. The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa

Super fun queer pirate adventure! This was just so refreshing and comforting at the same time.

Honorable mentions:

All Our Hidden Gifts by Caroline O'Donoghue; Travelers Along the Way by Aminah Mae Safi; I Am Kavi by Thushanthi Ponweera; On the Edge of Gone by Corrine Duyvis; When a Bulbul Sings by Hawaa Ayoub

When your bestie is marrying a guy she barely knows, can you save her from the cult before it's too late? Natalie is living proof that love is a scam. She's traumatised by her parents' failed marriage and overwhelmed by her grandmother's expectations of good Lebanese girls — marriage, motherhood and exceptional tabouli-making skills. When her best friend decides to get hitched to a guy in the motherland, Nat's not exactly thrilled by the mammoth task before her: juggling cultural traditions, extra bridesmaid dresses and super-judgemental relatives. And to top it off there's the annoyingly good-looking best man and his constant need to mansplain all of the things. Natalie is in for the trip of her life. But can she save her friend from the cult of romance, without falling in love herself?

Book: The Cult of Romance by Lebanese-Australian, Sarah Ayoub

[bookishyikes]

Book haul from Sydney Writers Festival!! some of these I already owned (illuminae + anything but fine) but I got them signed + got the opportunity to have a chat with the authors!! Also chatted with a couple of authors whose books I didn't get (Kay Kerr + Ella Baxter)

Book review: The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub

Rating: 3/5

Now, nobody die of shock, but I've finally found an Australia YA that I actually enjoyed.

The characters were all fantastic with wonderful, expressive voices that made them all really distinctive. I think Charlie was my favourite but I really loved and felt for Gillian too. I would have liked to have seen a bit more diversity amongst them though - one with a disability or a person of colour or a different sexuality.

The plot was a bit meh, it's definitely a character-driven book, but I really could have done with more insight to the aftermath of the Big Event described in the prologue. I felt we were left hanging with so many minor story lines. Did Charlie go back to Melbourne? Did Ryan figure out what he wanted to do? Did Tammi's dad finally give in to her wishes? Did Matty's mum get better? Were there any repercussions for Lauren Pappas did to Gillian? I really wanted answers to all those questions.

And it needed another good proofread. My edition was riddled with typos which really detracted from the reading experience in some places.

Having said that, this was an enjoyable read that I found myself devouring quite thoroughly whenever I picked it up. A lovely book that was really fun to read.

[suhyla]

I feel islam isn't very compatible with the idea of a man and a woman in love.

The first argument in support of it would offcourse be polygamy. But then I thought that generally muslim women are not self independent and hence they are completely destroyed by divorces or if their husband die, hence polygamy is a good idea to help out such women so that every poor women has a support of a man. So maybe polygamy was pro woman. And after all the world is just a test. And hence people have to make sacrifices.

But the concept of man having multiple spouses in Jannah so much supports this incompatibility. Because even in Jannah where there is no requirement for a man's support for a woman. Still Allah is promising men 72 virgins. Even in heaven a man and a woman love is not celebrated. And also women's jealousy is taken out of them so that they don't oppose the idea of sharing their man with a hundred other women.

Why is islam so much about satisfaction of male sexual desires

Lol, let's talk.

Jannah is not all about a person's sexuality.

We are promised many things in Jannah. Fruits, rivers, palaces, no ill feelings, eternal happiness - and of course, spouses.

﴿لَهُم فيها ما يَشاءونَ خالِدينَ كانَ عَلى رَبِّكَ وَعدًا مَسئولًا﴾

[Al-Furqân: 16]

"And they will have therein all that they desire, abiding in it forever, and that will be [upon your Lord] a promise."

Everyone will have a spouse because having a partner will make us happy, and no one will be alone in Jannah.

We frequently read in the Quran that we (both men and women) will have "spouses" or ازواج, so reading this hyper fixation on virgins honestly sounds like basic uncreative Western discourse. People make it seem like men will just be given women to please them, and that's all women are there for. If we actually read the Quran, it easily becomes clear that that's not the case.

Relationships in Islam are about companionship.

Are we forgetting that Adam was alone in Jannah, and Allah could have given him hoor. If that was all a man desired, then surely Allah would have given Adam, the first man, that? But He knew that the cure for Adam's loneliness was a partner. Someone to complete him.

Hawa, the first wife in Islam was meant to be a friend. There's narrations of Adam wanting to speak to the angels, but they were all busy and he had no one to speak to.

Allah gave him Hawa so that he would have a friend, not just someone to find pleasure in. A spouse is supposed to be a friend, someone you're at peace with. Someone you share love with.

﴿وَمِن آياتِهِ أَن خَلَقَ لَكُم مِن أَنفُسِكُم أَزواجًا لِتَسكُنوا إِلَيها وَجَعَلَ بَينَكُم مَوَدَّةً وَرَحمَةً إِنَّ في ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يَتَفَكَّرونَ﴾

[Ar-Rûm: 21]

And it is among His signs that He has created for you wives from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them, and He has created love and kindness between you. Surely in this there are signs for a people who reflect.

And here again, there is a duaa from the Quran.

﴿رَبَّنا وَأَدخِلهُم جَنّاتِ عَدنٍ الَّتي وَعَدتَهُم وَمَن صَلَحَ مِن آبائِهِم وَأَزواجِهِم وَذُرِّيّاتِهِم إِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ﴾

[Ghâfir: 8]

"Oh Allah, and enter them into the gardens of Eden that You promised them, and whoever was righteous from among their ancestors, spouses, children - verily You are the Aziz, the Hakeem."

Why would we be taught duaas asking for our partners in Jannah if Islam didn't honor those relationships? We are literally being taught that love is forever - it's not till death do we part, it's till we meet again in Jannah (where we will be happy together forever).

We see how precious love is in the Prophets' lives. Ayoub was sick and lost everything but remained patient. When did he break down? When he saw his wife, whom he obviously loved, sell her hair for his sake (due to his chronic illness). Yusuf could have easily fallen into a mistake with the wife of the Aziz. He certainly had desires, he's a man. As a man and a Prophet of Allah, why shouldn't he able to do what he wants? If it's all that a man would need in Jannah, and that was all a woman was good for, then why wouldn't Allah allow it here? But he didn't- because Islam doesn't recognize sexual relations as a partnership. Lust isn't love, it's not a relationship. It's illegitimate. That doesn't change just because it's a man. Ibrahim didn't marry Hajar because he wanted another woman, he married her at Sarah's insistence- because she couldn't have a child.

Moreover, literally polygamy is not exclusive to Islam. Historically, Islam's "4 women" rule was to limit men from having too many spouses, not to allow them to go from 1 to 4. Many men at the time had more than one wife, some a lot more than one. Suddenly, they couldn't any more.

Finally, if Islam focused so much about the satisfaction of male desire, it would not have prohibited sexual relations outside of marriage and the family? Men have these desires but Islam came to put some ground rules. To tell them they couldn't just use women. That a relationship was about companionship, commitment, and responsibility. Islam prohibited so called "pleasure marriages" in which men would "marry" women temporarily to satisfy their desires and then divorce them after. Because that is antithetical to an Islamic relationship.

These things honor a man and woman's relationship. Please read the Quran and sunnah, and you'll discover how special love is between a man and a woman in Islam.

"Hello comrade ,

We have been deceived - we created a world to ourselves that is not connected to reality! We have been deceived comrade- yes, Albert Camus deceived us - Dostovsky and Chekhov deceived us - novels and books deceived us, and Dostovsky deceived us when he said: « Despite the wreckage of your heart, love will one day bloom and repair it. » Chekhov deceived us when he said: If you can love, then you can do anything.

They deceived us comrade - or we deceived ourselves and tried to attach our failures and weaknesses to others!

Russian and French literature has never been a reason to change reality. And the Music of Fayrouz, Asmahan, and Layla Mourad has never changed hearts

But rather than wars, blood, and body parts that are the main causes of change. The more deaths, the greater the chance to change the world and reality. I hate blood - curse my heart, which does not resemble the hearts of people of my country.

Damn on us , comarde. Because we want peace, love and life and we believed in the difference. "
