The older I get, the more I realise some people enter your life to stay, and some enter just to teach you something. Both deserve appreciation.
The Red Sea in Jeddah is a small body of water compared to the vast oceans, yet its powerful waves and stunning beauty define the city's coastline.
What do you guys think if someone asks you to meet outside and discuss things in person? Mind you he hasn't seen me yet nor asked me to unblur my pictures. He didn't even asked for a basic introduction.
Towards the end of Old Stone Age, around 10,000 BC, a vibrant human presence flourished across North Africa, giving rise to the first Kingdom of Northern Egypt, commonly referred to as the Libyan Kingdom of Lower Egypt. This prehistoric predynastic African civilization was established in the Nile Delta by the Tehenu.
Deeply rooted in the Delta's fertile lands, the Tehenu were already thriving when the early dynastic pharaohs emerged from southern Egypt. Remarkably, archaeological evidence shows that these ancient Green Sahara communities were farming and building permanent settlements at the same time that Sumer was developing in Mesopotamia.
In fact, the iconic Mesopotamian city-states of Ur, Kish and Uruk possess striking linguistic ties that trace directly back to the Nilo-Saharan language of the Tehenu.
Ur: « Ey » means water in our Gâ language while « U » (pronounced like the English pronoun you) denotes water in its elevated and magnified form, giving the word a majestic or grandeur filled sound. In this context, the reference is clearly to the river. The suffix « R » denotes « place » (land). Hence, « the place of the water (= river) »
Uruk: « U » means water, « R » means place (land), « U » denotes water again and « K » means land. Thus, Uruk translates to « water (river), land, water (river), land »
Kish: A direct linguistic equivalent of Kush (Nubia). The earlier Kushites were Tehenu. « Kushy », meaning « a Kushite » and « Kushydo » (a Kushite woman) are both traditional personal names among our Gâ people.
Nilo (= Nilu): « Ni » means country, « l » indicates north and « o » (= u) means water. Together, they translate to « The northern country of the river » (Delta region).
Aur: in this context, the prefix « A » translates to « the », « Au » signifies « the water » (= the Nile River) and « r » denotes « place ». Thus, it means « the place of the water (river) ».
Dating to 3200–3100 BC, the Tehenu Palette features the earliest secure written mention of a specific ethnic group in human history. The artifact also depicts a highly developed society, complete with walled cities, considerable wealth and a structured political organization.
The Tehenu maintained a prosperous, sedentary agricultural lifestyle and a thriving pastoral economy. This immense wealth is vividly reflected in the reliefs of King Sahure of the Fifth Dynasty (c. 2500 BC), which record the capture of no less than 1,800,000 cattle, asses, goats and sheep from the Tehenu. The massive scale of this plunder, totalling nearly two million livestock, reflects a prosperous agricultural and pastoral economy supported by a highly organized society.
When King Narmer unified Egypt, he strengthened his rule through alliances with the Tehenu. His queen, Neithhotep (originally Neret-Hotep), was a Tehenûdo (a Tehenu woman) and is regarded as the earliest named woman in recorded human history. Her original name in the Tehenu language (Gâ), Nere, literally means « alive » and her emblem of crossed arrows over a shield was the symbol of the tribal tattoo of her loyal Tehenu warriors.
Her principal temple at Sais in the Delta became one of the most important religious centres of Lower Egypt. The origin of the royal Uraeus (cobra) worn on the crowns of the pharaohs traces back to an early Tehenu King of the Delta, and this temple, the royal headquarters of Libyan influence in Egypt, bore the Predynastic name « House of the King of Lower Egypt ».
May all the remarkable and noble souls mentioned throughout this history be honoured and rest in eternal peace.

Signed up for Muzz expecting a future spouse. Ended up with a few temporary Instagram followers instead. At least someone’s commitment lasted until they hit “Follow.”
If someone's helping you get married and they ask you to post your photographs on social media so men can see you or so that the potential men can see who you are when they search you up, remove them from your rishta hunting process.
No Muslimah should be asked to post her photographs online even in hijaab when she doesn't want to.
You will filter out a lot of creeps when you don't do this.
A solid Muslim brother will respect you for having no photographs online instead of hunting you on socials and selecting you on the basis of photographs you have posted.
Either I am getting old and cranky or this duniya is becoming really ajeeb.
I am really old school. Want to see a sister for marriage visit her home with your family.
Because once you share a photograph on whatsapp or via an email you don't know how many people are going to see it and where it's going to end up.
Or have some trustworthy middle person who has your photograph and can show it to the guy and his family without forwarding it to them.
Many Muslim families don't care about you and forward your photograph to anyone and everyone.
Even Muslim men do this.
They forward it to their friends.
It's a scary world.
Posting pics online for the world to see so you can bag a proposal?! HAYYLLLL NOOOO.
Never compromise deen, modesty and your standards to get married.

#DeenoverDunya is a flex..The only real flex for a Muslim..and don't get it twisted ....its nothing to do with boasting or being seen to be seen....its all about being inspirational. We put this into the universe daily hoping to inspire a brother or sister...Look how ez salah makes it...look how ez fasting makes it. Look how ez Alllah swa makes it for the Muslim....U take 3 steps to Allah swa.. constantly...daily.....he will make your legs long enough that 1 step becomes 30....30 becomes 300.
