The Oath of Salah al-Din: Justice at the Battle of Hattin
The Oath of Salah al-Din: Justice at the Battle of Hattin BY:Khan For years, Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi and the Crusader forces had traded blows and skirmishes across the Levant. Their clashes stretched season after season, a long war of attrition that finally built toward a single, decisive encounter — the battle that changed the map of Palestine and sealed the fate of the Christian kingdom there. That confrontation was the Battle of Hattin, fought on the 24th of Rabi‘ al-Thani in the year 385 AH, a contest that ended in resounding victory for the Muslims.

The Judge Who Feared None but God
The Judge Who Feared None but God BY:Khan In the old days, when justice was considered a sacred duty rather than a tool of power, remarkable incidents occurred that continue to inspire us even centuries later. These stories remind us what true integrity looks like in those who hold positions of authority. One such tale comes from Yemen, where a courageous judge stood firm for justice against wealth, power, and even the throne itself.

The Iron Fist of Karanja: Rise and Fall of General Nyota. AI-Generated.
In the dusty hills of Karanja, a small East African nation, Samuel Nyota was born in 1948 into a poor farming family. His father toiled in the fields, his mother raised him and his siblings under the unforgiving sun, and from an early age, Samuel learned that life rewarded the strong and punished the weak. Tall, imposing, and fiercely intelligent, he quickly realized that survival required more than hard work — it demanded cunning, strategy, and ruthlessness.

Born into poverty among the Kakwa ethnic group, Amin’s early years were marked by hardship and survival. His father abandoned the family, and his mother, a herbalist, raised him in the shadow of colonial rule. He had little education, but he possessed an intimidating physical strength — tall, broad-shouldered, and fiercely ambitious.

Socialism -the reality.
Socalism, in theory is a good system of governance. But in reality, humans being what they are, it does not work out that way. The elites, the politicians in control, take more of the resources collected (read taxes) by the masses who voted them in, for themselves, in sweet deals and sometimes just outright fraud. They live the good life, drive fancy luxuary cars, eat out in expensive restaurants, wear designer clothes, go on expensive vacations to tropical islands, and live in mansions, while the people they benevolently govern live in shacks or slum apartments. Because that is all they can afford. They are taxed on everything. Property taxes, sales tax, income tax, death tax, permits to fix or upgrade your property and house is just another form of tax. And I’m sure there are a lot more taxes they have imposed on us. We are just a resource to suck dry for their benefit, so their lives will be comfortable.

Rumors, Roses, and a Quiet Promise: The Legend of DiMaggio and Monroe
Rumors, Roses, and a Quiet Promise: The Legend of DiMaggio and Monroe When a public romance shined as bright as Marilyn Monroe’s glow on a Hollywood stage, the afterglow can outlive the headlines. Over the years, stories about Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe have settled into the realm of myth and memory—the kind of legends that fans retell with a knowing smile, even when every detail isn’t verifiably true. Among those tales, one persists with stubborn tenderness: the idea that DiMaggio, devastated by Monroe’s death, sent red roses to her crypt three times a week for two decades, never remarried, and allegedly uttered his final words, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.”

The Last Lamp of Delhi
The year was 1857, a time when the old world of India trembled beneath the boots of rebellion and empire. The Mughal capital, Delhi, stood not only as a city of bazaars, mosques, and minarets, but as the fading shadow of a once-mighty throne. In the crumbling Red Fort, the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, sat helpless, his poetry carrying more strength than his dwindling army.
