Sheikh Walid Mahassas was born in Algeria, and he is the imam of the Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque in the 12-hectare neighborhood in the state of Bordj Bou Arreridj, in eastern Algeria.

He was classified as one of the most beautiful voices for reciting the Noble Qur’an, and he continues to hold Quranic evenings to memorize and recite the Qur’an within the “Baraem Al-Biban” competition.

He presents Friday prayer sermons, as well as special lessons explaining and interpreting the Islamic religion and legal sciences, including what is also related to the righteousness of parents.

In statements to the Algerian Roya channel, the imam commented on the incident of the cat sneaking onto his shoulder, saying: “We were at a Quranic wedding, and we spent two of the most wonderful hours of life with the Holy Quran, and I salute all the young men, men and women, and I pray for the people of this town whose people are famous for memorizing the Holy Quran May the Lord preserve and bless her.”

This video, which was widely circulated on social media, also reached Western media, as it was republished by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the American CNN.

A tweet commented on the video, saying: "The cat is a gift from God Almighty to Sheikh Walid Mahsas. On this blessed night, God Almighty wanted the voice of the sheikh as he recited the Qur'an to reach the ears of all the inhabitants of the earth."

And she tweeted in English: "Awesome video. You can tell that the imam and the cat are dear friends as the cat gently hugs the imam's face, and while praying, the imam helps the cat on his shoulders. The love of animals is a wonderful thing to see. The imam has a wonderful voice too."

Another said: "A typical beautiful cat wants all the attention. His (Imam's) reaction was just beautiful, as he showed his kindness to the cat while continuing to pray." Source: RT

Study: Can money buy love?

A new study finds that when it comes to dating, personality has become more important than finances.

Researchers from the University of York and the University of Essex analyzed more than a million lonely hearts advertisements around the world.

They found that there was a sharp decline in economic factors when choosing a partner in the United States, France and Canada, while financial resources remain important for individuals in India.

Co-researcher Dr. Quentin Lippmann said: “Our study shows that personality is becoming more important in western countries like the US, but we don’t see the same trend in India. Once India’s economy is more developed, and the current generation is more financially secure, a change in personality may emerge.” Preference for personality factors as well.

In their study, the team analyzed lonely hearts ads from major news outlets in Canada, France and India, as well as data from publications from 1950 to 1995, and ads from 41 regional newspapers from Canada and the United States in 1995.

The team focused on the language used in the ads, which they classified into four distinct categories.

The 'economic' language focused on a potential partner's financial situation, while the 'personality' covered traits such as openness and extroversion.

Meanwhile, the "physical" language expressed a preference for body types, while the "taste" language covered hobbies and habits.

Their analysis showed that between 1950 and 1995, the importance of personality grew in Western countries, while economic factors declined.

By 1995, 40 to 45 percent of the words women used to describe their ideal partner were in the "personality" category, while only 10 percent mentioned finances.

Similarly, 35-40% of the words in ads placed by men focused on personality, while only 5% were related to economic factors.

However, in India, both finances and personal affairs remained major issues during the same time period.

Until the 1970s, about 35% of the words in ads were related to finance - by 1995 that had risen to 60%.

There was some gender disparity in the ads, with economic factors more important in the ads placed by women than in the ads placed by men.

Khushboo Surana, a co-author of the study, said the data we found supports Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs. In this framework, material needs - that is, financial factors - must be met before you can focus on non-material elements, such as personality traits. It is possible that, unlike in the West, people's first-class needs are not being met, which is why we see an emphasis on economic criteria.

Dr Lippman believes we may see a shift in preference for personality factors once the Indian economy develops.

"This would align them with the trends we see in the western countries that we sampled," he concluded. Source: Daily Mail

Life for the killers of the American rapper XXXTentacion

3 men were sentenced to life imprisonment convicted of killing the American rapper XXXTentacion in 2018 by shooting him at a motorcycle shop in South Florida, and stealing $ 50,000 from him.

After eight days of deliberations, a jury convicted Michael Boatwright, 28, Dedrick Williams, 26, and Trayvon Newsom, 24, last month of first-degree murder and armed robbery.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, so life imprisonment was the only sentence a judge could impose for first-degree murder convictions.

During a month-long trial, prosecutors linked the killers to the June 18, 2018 shooting outside Riva Motorsports in the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale through video clips taken by security cameras inside and outside the store, as well as cellphone videos taken by the men of themselves clutching bills. $100 hours after the killing.

The prosecution also obtained the testimony of a fourth man, Robert Allen, a former friend of the defendants who said he participated in the robbery and who pleaded guilty last year to second-degree murder. His sentence was postponed until the end of the trial of the other three defendants. Source: "AB"
