Everything I’ve Ever Loved in a Box
I’ve owned the Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 for well over a decade now. I love photos. I never know when my last one will be my last— so I just keep on taking pictures.

The Monarch of Mercy
In a faraway land nestled between emerald mountains and sapphire rivers, there was a kingdom called Nurabad. It was known for its exquisite artistry—every home bore hand-carved doors, every fountain sang with marbled grace, and every palace shimmered with intricate murals that danced in the sunlight. But beneath the beauty, the people whispered about empty bellies and sleepless nights. For while the walls gleamed, the streets groaned under the weight of forgotten lives.

The Artist’s Archive: Digitize and Organize Your Creative Portfolio at Home
Artists and illustrators often discover that while creativity flows freely on paper, home studios can quickly become cluttered with unfinished sketches, aging projects, and loose prints. In the Gulf region, where emerging creatives participate in local exhibitions, design markets, and digital platforms, maintaining a well-organized visual archive is more than a convenience. It is a foundation for growth, self‑promotion, and preserving the creative journey.

Sometimes life can be so unpredictable
Sometimes what we think of, it doesn't happens that way. I had many dreams of my own that I wanted to accomplish but I guess God didn't wanted it happen yet.

The Empty Swing
It was a quiet evening in a small village. The sun was setting slowly, casting an orange glow over the fields. The air was filled with the sweet smell of the earth. Children played in the distance, their laughter echoing through the trees.

Why Allah Created the World. A Story for the People of the USA.
In the beginning, there was nothing but Allah the Eternal, the Creator, the One without beginning or end. He was alone, yet complete. He needed no help, no partner, and no rest. From His divine wisdom and mercy, He created the universe not out of boredom or need, but as a sign for us, the human beings, to know Him, love Him, and worship Him.

The Beauty That Refuses to Be Framed: When Art Breaks the Canvas
Art has long been confined—sometimes comfortably, sometimes controversially—within the four edges of a canvas. From Renaissance masterpieces to abstract expressionism, frames have signified not just boundaries of composition, but barriers of perception. But what happens when beauty outgrows its frame? When creativity spills beyond wood and linen, and refuses to be contained by gallery walls or aesthetic conventions?

What Tyler Perry's "Straw" Ending Explained about Life
Straw Is A Sad Movie, But The Twist Ending Goes Beyond a Movie You see, life has a funny way of building us up to a breaking point. You might feel like you're doing everything right, working hard, putting in the hours, trying to make things work. But one day, when the weight of it all becomes too much to bear, you can find yourself in a place where you feel nothing but exhaustion, frustration, and defeat. It is in situations like this that makes you feel like an overwhelming storm, and all it takes is just one final gust to knock everything over. This one thing, as in the movie "Straw", is what we often don't see coming.

Hex and Heritage:
When Lifetime’s Amish Witches: The True Story of Holmes County aired, audiences were lured by the promise of horror set in one of America’s most reclusive religious communities. Beneath the dramatized supernatural thrills lies a deeper truth — that folklore, magic, and spiritual resistance are not foreign to the Amish or their cultural cousins. The practice of Braucherei (also called Brauchau, or “Powwow”) among Pennsylvania Dutch Christians, often likened to folk healing or faith-based magic, has uncanny parallels with Brujería (Spanish/Latinx witchcraft) and Bruxaria (Portuguese/Brazilian witchcraft). These practices, though rooted in different ethnic traditions, share similar functions: healing, protection, justice, and spiritual intercession in communities where official religious institutions may offer little support for such needs.
