The surprising trend of converting to Islam around the world: Why people are choosing Islam despite Islamophobia.
Walk into a mosque in New York, Paris, or London, and you may find a surprising sight. A young woman who once followed no religion now ties a scarf around her head. A middle-aged man who grew up Christian bends his forehead to the ground in prayer. A college student from Asia, raised with no faith practice, learns Arabic words of worship with shining eyes. All around the world, Islamophobia dominates headlines, yet an opposite, quieter trend unfolds every day: thousands continue to embrace Islam.

We Are Not the Same as We Were, Are We?
There was a time—not too long ago—when life glowed with a different kind of warmth. Families gathered around dinner tables, not just to eat but to share stories, laughter, and even the quiet comfort of being together. Friends spent long afternoons in gossip, playful arguments, and silly mistakes that became unforgettable memories. Children filled the streets and fields, playing games until the sun dipped below the horizon. Villages were alive with the music of conversations, celebrations, and the simple joy of belonging.

Sixteen Years of Blood and Silence. Content Warning.
Trigger Warning: graphic descriptions of menstrual and medical experiences. I still remember the Virginia Beach trip. It was supposed to be a working vacation; a month at the beach, relaxation with friends, and building a podcast network from the ground up. Instead, I got to add days trapped inside, shuffling from the bed to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. At one point I stood in the shower for an hour, just watching as red fluid and tissue slid down my legs, only slightly slower than the water running over my body. I wondered if this was what Carrie felt like in the Stephen King novel. I wondered if I would die.

The Evolution of Genetics: From Mendel’s Laws to the Genomic Era and Its Impact on Science and Knowledge
The Development of Genetics and Its Impact on the Future Genetics is one of the most prominent sciences that has witnessed astonishing developments over the past two centuries, contributing to changing our understanding of life and opening new horizons in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and the environment. This science is concerned with the study of genes, the basic units that carry genetic information in living organisms, how they are transmitted across generations, and their role in determining biological traits. From the discovery of the laws of heredity by the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century to the sequencing of the human genome in the early twenty-first century, this field has come a long way, making it one of the most important pillars of modern science.

The Day the Internet Stops: What Would We Do?
It starts quietly. You wake up, rub your eyes, reach for your phone, and press the glowing screen. But instead of the usual scroll of headlines, likes, and unread messages, you see… nothing. No Wi-Fi symbol, no data connection, no blinking blue dots promising “just a moment.”

I Let AI Plan My Entire Week — Here’s What Happened
Introduction: Handing Over My Life to AI Like most people in 2025, I use AI almost daily—whether it’s asking ChatGPT for quick answers, using AI tools to edit text, or letting recommendation engines tell me what movie to watch. But one day, a crazy thought crossed my mind:

The Last Library of Humanity
M Mehran Eli walked slowly through the ruins of the city, the wind carrying with it the faint smell of dust and forgotten fire. His boots crunched against shards of glass that had once been windows to tall buildings. The world, he thought, had grown quieter than it ever should have been.

"Rest to Rise: The Power of a Healthy Sleep Routine"
Rest to Rise: The Power of a Healthy Sleep Routine A Short Story For as long as Maya could remember, sleep had always felt like an inconvenience. In college, she’d pulled all-nighters like badges of honor. In her twenties, her job in marketing demanded long hours, endless caffeine, and social media scrolling that often stretched past midnight. She told herself she was doing what she had to do—hustling, grinding, chasing the dream. But by the time she hit thirty, Maya was running on empty. Each morning started with a groggy head, puffy eyes, and a silent prayer that the coffee would kick in before her first Zoom call. She forgot things constantly—names, dates, even passwords she'd just reset. Her moods swung like a pendulum, and even the smallest inconveniences felt like mountains. Still, she never connected the dots. She blamed stress, the economy, hormones, anything but sleep. One evening, after snapping at her best friend for canceling dinner last-minute, Maya sank into the couch, exhausted and ashamed. She turned on a podcast she usually used as background noise while scrolling, but one sentence grabbed her attention: "The way you sleep determines the way you live. Rest isn't a reward; it's the foundation." She paused. Rewound. Listened again. The guest, a sleep scientist, explained how chronic sleep deprivation doesn’t just lead to tiredness—it rewires your brain, fogs your focus, dulls your mood, and even affects how your body heals and ages. Maya sat in silence long after the podcast ended. Something inside her shifted. That night, she made a decision—not to overhaul her life overnight, but to start with sleep. --- The first week was clumsy. She tried going to bed at 10:30 PM but ended up tossing and turning until past midnight. Her brain, used to stimulation, begged for screens. Her fingers itched to check email or scroll Instagram. So she created a routine. At 9:30, she’d shut down her laptop. She swapped scrolling for reading—a novel, not a business book. She sipped chamomile tea. She placed her phone across the room and turned her alarm clock to face the wall. Slowly, her mind started to quiet. By the end of the second week, she was falling asleep faster. Her body began waking on its own before her alarm. The difference was subtle, but it was there. She noticed it in the mornings. She didn’t feel like a zombie anymore. Her eyes weren’t bloodshot in video meetings. She didn’t need a third coffee to push through the afternoon. One morning, walking to her favorite café, she caught herself humming—a small thing, but it startled her. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt light without forcing it. --- A month into her new routine, Maya had a conversation with her manager that surprised them both. "You've been sharper lately," he said. "Clearer. And happier, I think?" Maya laughed. "Honestly? I started sleeping like an adult." He smiled. "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." --- That night, Maya journaled under soft lamplight: "I used to think sleep was something I’d earn after everything else. Now I see it's the first thing I have to give myself. Rest isn't weakness. It's my reset button. And for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm rising again." --- Six months later, Maya still has late nights. She still has deadlines and bad days and stressful emails. But she doesn’t face them depleted. She faces them grounded. When her friends ask her what changed, she tells them the truth: not a new job, not a new diet, not a fancy morning routine. Just sleep. Real, intentional, consistent sleep. It didn’t solve all her problems. But it gave her the strength to solve them herself. --- Moral of the Story: We live in a culture that celebrates hustle and ignores exhaustion. But real energy doesn’t come from coffee, motivation, or sheer willpower—it comes from rest. Sleep isn’t the end of the day; it’s the beginning of tomorrow. When you treat it like a priority, you give yourself the clarity, stability, and strength to rise into your best self.
