What Does “Live-In Relationship” Have to Do With Murder? Absolutely Nothing

People are right to be angry and confused.

Why is a judge discussing “live-in relationships” in a case where a young woman was brutally murdered, raped, and tortured?

This was not a morality case.

This was not a lecture on social values.

This was a cold-blooded crime backed by solid evidence: CCTV, forensic reports, eyewitness accounts, and the killer’s own admission.

So the question is simple and justified:

Why bring up “live-in relationships” at all?

It shifts the focus away from the real issue justice for murder and rape.

It risks creating the impression that somehow the victim’s choices or lifestyle are being quietly judged.

And in a country where victim-blaming is already a major problem, such comments only make it worse.

Evidence Was Clear. Crime Was Proven. Then Why Reduce the Sentence?

When a crime is fully proven 

when the killer is caught at the scene 

when the victim’s suffering is recorded 

when the entire nation watched the case unfold 

any reduction in punishment raises serious concerns

Even if the court claims “technical reasons,” the public still has the right to question:

Why was the rape sentence changed?

Why was kidnapping dropped from 10 years to 1 year?

Why is legal sympathy shown to a convicted murderer and rapist?

In an Islamic country, justice for rape and murder is supposed to be strict, not softened.

Justice Must Be About the Crime NOT the Victim’s Personal Life

Bringing moral or social issues into a murder judgment is dangerous.

It sends a message  intentionally or not  that a victim’s lifestyle can be used to color the case.

This is unacceptable.

A murderer should be judged for one thing only:

The brutality of the crime he committed

Not for what the victim wore.

Not for how she lived.

Not for assumptions about relationships.

Justice must be blind  not selective.

People are not stupid. They understand what’s happening

When courts start adding unnecessary moral commentary…

when punishments are quietly reduced…

when focus shifts away from the proven facts…

People naturally feel:

“Something is wrong.”

And they have every right to say it.

Why São Tomé & Príncipe still hidden

 

 São Tomé & Príncipe is one of the world’s most enchanting places an African island nation so quiet and hidden that most people have never heard its name. This tiny country sits in the middle of the Gulf of Guinea, wrapped in emerald-green forests, volcanic peaks, and warm blue waters. Everything feels untouched here, as if time moves slower and nature breathes freely. The air is filled with the scent of cocoa because these islands are famous for producing some of the world’s finest chocolate. Small family farms grow rich cacao under the shade of ancient trees, and visitors often say that tasting chocolate here feels like discovering the original flavour of cocoa itself.

Life on the islands is simple and peaceful. Colourful wooden boats rest along calm beaches, while locals welcome visitors with a kindness that feels completely genuine. There are no crowds, no noise, no rush just quiet villages, clear lagoons, and lush rainforests full of birds and unique wildlife. Many parts of the islands look like a living postcard: waterfalls hidden in green valleys, giant volcanic rocks rising from the sea, and beaches so empty it seems you’re stepping onto a private world. São Tomé & Príncipe is a rare kind of destination not famous, not commercial, but pure, authentic, and unforgettable. It’s the kind of place people dream of when they imagine paradise, yet only a few ever get to experience.

The people of São Tomé & Príncipe speak Portuguese as their main language, a reminder of their history with Portugal, but the islands also have their own local creole languages like Forro, Angolar, and Principense. These creoles sound musical and warm, mixed with African rhythms and Portuguese influence, creating a unique way of speaking that you won’t hear anywhere else. When you walk through villages, you’ll notice conversations flowing softly, children playing and singing in Forro, and elders speaking a beautiful mix that reflects centuries of island culture.

Their dress is simple, colourful, and perfectly suited to the warm tropical climate. Women often wear bright patterned fabrics wrapped as skirts or dresses, paired with lightweight blouses or scarves tied around the head in vibrant African prints. Men usually wear casual shirts and shorts during the day, though traditional celebrations bring out more decorated, cultural clothing that blends African styles with Portuguese touches. Everything feels relaxed, grounded, and tied to nature.

Food on the islands is one of the richest parts of daily life, with flavours shaped by the sea, the forest, and the cocoa plantations. Fish is eaten nearly every day grilled, stewed, or cooked in coconut milk with local herbs. They make hearty dishes with plantains, bananas, breadfruit, and cassava, ingredients that grow everywhere in the warm volcanic soil. One of their most loved meals is calulu, a slow-cooked dish made with fish, vegetables, and palm oil, full of deep island flavour. Cocoa also finds its way into food not just desserts, but even savoury dishes because the islands are home to some of the best chocolate in the world. Fresh tropical fruits like papaya, pineapple, jackfruit, and mango fill the markets, and every meal feels both comforting and naturally sweet, as if taken straight from the land. All these elements the language, the dress, and the food come together to create a culture that is gentle, proud, and beautifully connected to its islands.

Awareness Message on Nicotine Products

Nicotine products have quietly slipped into the daily lives of young people, packaged in attractive designs and flavored in ways that make them feel harmless. What many don’t see is how these products are scientifically engineered to hook the brain quickly. Nicotine creates a false sense of relief, but behind that moment of calm is a growing addiction that affects memory, concentration, mood, and long-term brain development.

 Young users often don’t realize how fast their bodies begin to depend on it, and by the time they notice the effects, quitting becomes a painful struggle.

Despite the obvious harm, governments often fail to take strict action. Part of the reason is that nicotine companies hold enormous financial power and influence. Their marketing strategies evolve faster than regulations can keep up, moving from cigarettes to vapes, e-nicotine devices, and flavored pods that are easy to hide and easy to sell. Weak enforcement, outdated laws, and pressure from industry lobbyists make it even harder to control their spread. Social media adds another layer of difficulty, as influencers promote these products subtly, reaching millions of young people in seconds long before any regulatory body can step in.

Meanwhile, families, teachers, and communities face the consequences. Teens struggle with anxiety, mood swings, and withdrawal symptoms without understanding the root cause. Their physical health declines while their academic performance suffers. What appears to be a “cool trend” becomes a long-term burden on their bodies, minds, and futures.

The truth is simple: nicotine is not just a product, it’s a trap. And until strong policies, awareness campaigns, and community action come together, young people will continue to fall into it. Change begins when society stops normalizing nicotine use and starts protecting the generation that deserves a healthier, stronger future.

Mental health

10 Main rules of life every one should know

1. “Your Peace Is Your Power”

Not everyone deserves access to your mind.

Protect your peace like it's gold. Even from your family members and friends or partners.

When your mind is calm, you think better, decide better, and live better.

Example: If a friend always creates drama, limiting contact helps you stay mentally stronger.

2. “Energy Is Expensive  Spend It Wisely”

If someone drains you more than they uplift you,

that’s your sign to step back.

Your emotional energy is limited, so use it on people and places that uplift you.

Example: Instead of arguing with someone who never listens, save that energy for your goals.

3. “Choose Peace Over Pressure”

No job, no place, no person is worth losing yourself for.

No relationship or environment should pressure you to compromise your inner wellbeing.

Example: Leaving a high-stress job that affects your sleep and mental health is choosing peace.

4. “You Are Allowed to Walk Away”

Distance is not disrespect 

sometimes it’s healing. If someone disturb your emotional well-being.

Creating distance from draining people or situations is your right.

Example: If a relative constantly criticizes you, it’s okay to reduce communication.

5. “Protect Your Vibe”

Your mental health isn’t a luxury.

It’s a priority.

Negative people can affect your mood and mindset, so guard what energy you allow in.

Example: Avoiding gossip circles at work protects your positivity.

6. “Silence Is Also a Boundary”

Not every explanation is needed.

Peace speaks for itself.

Sometimes you don’t need to explain yourself  staying silent is a peaceful boundary.

Example: Instead of arguing back, walking away quietly ends the conflict faster.

7. “Let Go to Grow”

You can’t elevate while holding onto what drains you.

You can’t move forward while holding onto things that hold you back.

Example: Ending a friendship that keeps you stuck in old habits helps you grow.

8. “Rest Is Not Weakness”

Sometimes you step back because you deserve better energy.

Taking a break protects your mental and emotional health.

Example: Saying “no” to an outing because you need alone time is self-care, not laziness.

9. “Your Peace Matters  Even If No One Understands”

You don’t need approval to take care of yourself.

Others may not agree with your choices, but your mental health comes first.

Example: Choosing to live separately from toxic family members is valid even if people judge.

10. “Walk Away With Grace”

Protecting your peace is not selfish.

It’s self-respect.

Leaving peacefully without revenge or drama gives you freedom and dignity.

Example: Ending a relationship politely instead of fighting shows emotional maturity.

When Your Peace Feels Heavy: Why Walking Away Is Sometimes the Healthiest Choice 

There comes a time in life when you silently realize:

“My mental health matters more than this place….. this person…... this situation.”

And that moment though painful is powerful.

We often stay in draining environments because we fear being judged. We stay in toxic relationships because we hope things will magically get better. We stay around energy-draining people because we don’t want to appear “rude.”Same as work place.

But the truth is simple:

If something is draining your energy, killing your motivation, or disturbing your peace your soul is whispering for space. Listen.

The Hidden Cost of Staying Somewhere You No Longer Belong

You don’t always feel the damage immediately. Sometimes it shows up quietly:

You’re tired even after a full night’s sleep.

You lose excitement for things you once loved.

Small tasks suddenly feel heavy.

You start doubting your own worth.

You constantly feel tense, worried, or emotionally exhausted.

This is not “laziness.”

This is not “weakness.”

This is your mental health sending an SOS signal.

We often protect others’ feelings so much that we forget to protect our own emotional survival.

Leaving Is Not Weakness. It’s Wisdom

Walking away does not mean you failed.

It means you finally chose yourself.

People rarely talk about the courage it takes to leave:

To remove yourself from a toxic friendship.

To distance from a draining family member.

To step out of a negative workplace.

To let go of someone you love but who hurts your growth.

To say “no more” when your heart has been saying “please stop” for months.

Your mind, your heart, your peace they all deserve environments where they can breathe, grow, and feel safe.

You Are Not Required to Burn Yourself Out for Anyone

Let it sink in:

∆ You don’t have to stay where you are shrinking.

∆ You don’t have to keep giving where you only receive pain.

∆ You don’t have to explain why you need distance.

∆ You don’t need permission to protect your peace.

Energy is sacred. Peace is priceless. Mental health is not optional it's survival.

Give Yourself the Space You Deserve

Maybe you need a day away.

Maybe a week.

Maybe forever.

Whatever your journey looks like, remember:

Space is not abandonment. Space is healing.

And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply step back and breathe again.

Teachers or stone age dinosaur 

Management, staff, principal, parents, students….. everyone is tired, innocent, hardworking, and the hero of their own story.

And then there is the poor teacher… whom everyone has collectively declared a “Stone Age dinosaur.”

Why?

Because according to people, a teacher is not a human being  she doesn’t need a home, rest, breakfast, or sleep…

She is just a creature who magically silences a noisy class for 40 minutes,

then takes 6 to 7 periods as if her battery charges to 100% with a fast charger,

makes lesson plans like an AI robot,

and emotions? Well… maybe those have to be deposited outside the staff room!

As if a teacher never gets tired,

never gets fever,

never feels body pain,

and maybe doesn’t even have a heart  because the world believes:

“She’s a teacher… she’ll keep going!”

In the end, the teacher is the only living being who is told:

“Work 24 hours to shape other people’s children  teach them, guide them, make them smile… and still prove yourself every single day.”

The truth is, if teachers were really dinosaurs…

the entire dino species would have gone extinct from crying by now.

If anyone has answer please comment.

Why Chefchaouen, Morocco is Painted Blue The Mystery, History & Philosophy of the Blue City

Chefchaouen Morocco’s Blue City and the Timeless Story Behind Its Color

Walk through Chefchaouen at dawn and you feel as if you’ve stepped into a dream. The alleys shimmer with light and shade, painted in every hue of blue  pale sky, turquoise, cobalt, and deep ocean. Cats sleep on sapphire steps. Old men in woolen djellabas lean on indigo doorframes. Children race through azure courtyards. Travelers stop mid-stride, mesmerized, cameras forgotten for a moment, because the scene before them feels more like poetry than reality.

But what makes Chefchaouen the “Blue Pearl of Morocco”  so blue? And why has this tradition survived centuries of change, empires, and modernity?

A City Born of Refuge and Memory

Founded in 1471, Chefchaouen began as a fortress town in the rugged Rif Mountains. But its destiny changed in the 15th and 16th centuries when waves of Jewish refugees arrived, fleeing persecution in Spain and Portugal. These families brought with them more than memories; they carried rituals. Among them was the custom of painting homes in shades of blue a reminder of the heavens, of divine protection, of water, of infinity.

In Jewish mysticism, blue (tekhelet) symbolizes the connection between the earthly and the eternal. To live in a blue-washed home was to live inside a daily meditation, a visual prayer. Over time, Muslim and Berber communities adopted and preserved this ritual, and the city became a living mosaic of cultures 8 faith turned into color.

Practical Wisdom Hidden in Pigment

The blue walls are not only spiritual but practical. Locals believed  and still say with a knowing smile  that blue repels mosquitoes because it resembles flowing water. Whether science proves it or not, the alleys do feel fresher, cooler, and somehow cleaner than the outside world.

This echoes a larger truth about traditional architecture: beauty and function often flow together. Like white houses in the Greek islands, Chefchaouen’s blue serves as a natural climate control, softening the intense Moroccan sun and making the maze of lanes more bearable in summer heat.

A Living Canvas, Not a Museum

What makes Chefchaouen special isn’t just the color but the commitment. This is no static museum; every year, residents repaint their walls. Old pigments are refreshed, new shades emerge, and the city becomes a patchwork of memories. Each layer is a story.

A shopkeeper in the medina once said to a travel writer, “We don’t paint for tourists. We paint for ourselves. Blue reminds us of who we are.” That sentiment explains why, even with global fame, the city still feels intimate and authentic.

Philosophy in Blue: The Color of Infinity

Blue is the color of sky, sea, and longing  the color of distance and of depth. In Islamic art, blue often stands for protection and spirituality. In Jewish thought, blue connects the viewer to the divine. In Western psychology, blue evokes calm, trust, and introspection.

When you walk through Chefchaouen’s alleys, you are walking through layers of meaning. The paint on the walls becomes a kind of silent teacher: it whispers of exile and homecoming, of faith and resilience, of how beauty can be an act of resistance. In a world obsessed with speed, this city invites you to slow down, to breathe, to contemplate.

From Hidden Gem to Global Icon

For centuries, Chefchaouen was a hidden mountain town, known mostly to pilgrims and traders. In the last few decades, word spread  first among backpackers, then photographers, then social media. Today the “Blue City” draws travelers from every continent. Instagram might have made the walls famous, but what keeps visitors enchanted is something older and deeper: the feeling of stepping into a living dream, a place where history and hope are painted on every surface.

Local authorities now protect the blue heritage with building codes, and residents see tourism not only as income but as a way to share their story with the world. As one young painter explained, “Every brushstroke says, ‘We are here. We remember. We continue.’”

Visiting Chefchaouen: Tips for Travelers

Best Time: Spring and autumn for pleasant weather and softer light.

What to See: The medina’s blue lanes, the Spanish Mosque viewpoint at sunset, Ras El Ma waterfall.

Respect: Ask before photographing people. Buy from local artisans to support the community.

The Eiffel Tower: A Monument That Became a Miracle

Eiffel Tower history, Eiffel Tower facts, Why Eiffel Tower attracts people, Eiffel Tower World’s Fair, Gustave Eiffel story, Eiffel Tower romance, Paris attractions, Paris travel guide

Hi Everyone 👋 

When you see the Eiffel Tower for the first time, it doesn’t just stand before you it rises into your heart. It is iron, yet it feels alive. It is steel, yet it speaks of love. And in its towering presence, you realize: some creations are not just built, they are born to inspire eternity.

The Birth of a Giant

The year was 1889. Paris was hosting the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. The government wanted something bold, something that would shock the world. Enter Gustave Eiffel, a brilliant engineer with a daring idea: an iron tower over 300 meters tall, the tallest structure the world had ever seen.

But Parisians weren’t impressed. Writers and artists mocked it. Newspapers printed scathing articles calling it “a skeleton of iron” and “an insult to French elegance.” Some even demanded its destruction before it was finished.

Yet Eiffel stood firm. He said: “I believe that the Tower will have its own beauty.” And he was right. When the fair opened, people flocked to climb it. Soon, what was once hated became the beating heart of Paris.

Almost Lost Forever

Here’s the twist: the Eiffel Tower wasn’t supposed to be permanent. The original plan gave it a life of 20 years after which it was to be dismantled.

But Eiffel, always the visionary, had another idea. He added radio antennas to the top, making the tower useful for military communication. Suddenly, its destruction was impossible. The tower was saved not by beauty alone, but by science.

From Steel to Symbol

Through wars, revolutions, and decades of change, the Eiffel Tower never stopped standing tall. During World War II, when Hitler visited Paris, the French cut the lift cables so he would have to climb the stairs if he wanted to reach the top. The tower became a symbol of quiet defiance.

Today, when the tower sparkles every night with 20,000 golden lights, it tells a different story: one of peace, hope, and dreams.

A Global Icon of Romance

But why does the Eiffel Tower attract millions of people every year? Because it is more than a landmark it is an emotion. It’s where couples get engaged, where families make memories, where travelers feel they have truly seen Paris.

It is not just the iron and bolts that matter; it is the way the tower makes you feel. It is the way the wind whispers as you climb. It is the way the city spreads beneath you, endless and breathtaking. It is the way strangers become dreamers under its light.

A Tower That Inspires the World

Today, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited paid monument in the world. More than 7 million people climb it every year. Over 30 replicas exist around the globe, from Las Vegas to Tokyo. And yet, nothing feels like the original, standing proud on the banks of the Seine.

Fun fact ✴️ 

Secret Apartment 

Gustave Eiffel built a small private apartment at the top where he hosted famous guests.

Sparkling Nights

Every night, 20,000 light bulbs make the tower sparkle for 5 minutes at the start of each hour.

World Record Holder

From 1889 to 1930, it was the tallest structure in the world until New York’s Chrysler Building took the title.

Global Copies 

More than 30 replicas of the tower exist worldwide, but none carry the same magic as the one in Paris.

From Brokenness to Belonging: A Spiritual Journey

Anchoring the Heart in the Eternal

Discover the life-changing lessons of Yasmin Mogahed’s Reclaim Your Heart. Learn how to detach from worldly attachments, heal from heartbreak, and find true peace by connecting with Allah.

A Journey Back to the One Who Never Leaves

There are books you read once and put away. And then there are books that become companions whispering wisdom each time life feels heavy. Yasmin Mogahed’s Reclaim Your Heart belongs to the second kind. It is not just a book of words; it is a mirror for the soul, a hand extended in the dark, and a reminder that the heart was never created to be enslaved by this world.

The Illusion of Attachment

The moment you fix your heart on something created, it breaks.

How often do we anchor our happiness in people, wealth,

or success? We cling to what is fragile, and when it slips through our fingers, despair follows. Mogahed reminds us that heartbreak is not always a punishment  sometimes it is a gentle nudge from Allah, urging us to let go of false anchors.

Like Rumi once said:

“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”

Healing is a Return, Not a Detour

When trials strike, our instinct is to think we are lost. But the truth is, the storm may be the very map back to the shore. Yasmin writes with clarity that healing is not found in escaping pain, but in surrendering it to the One who created the heart in the first place.

The more you let go, the higher you rise.

This is not about abandoning love, but about reorienting it. To love deeply without worshipping. To care without clinging. To own without being owned.

Heartbreak: A Doorway to Healing

Heartbreak is often seen as the end of joy, but Mogahed reframes it as the beginning of transformation. Every heartbreak peels back the illusion that someone else could complete us. Every loss forces us to return to the One who never abandons.

Sometimes, heartbreak is the mercy that forces you to return to the One who never breaks your heart.

Instead of asking “Why did this happen to me?” the question shifts to “What is this teaching me about where my heart belongs?” Suddenly, even heartbreak becomes a form of mercy.

Tests, Trials, and Trust

Life is full of storms  broken plans, illness, rejection, delays. To the one anchored only in this world, these storms feel cruel. But Yasmin reminds us that trials are not punishments; they are lessons, shaping us into stronger, more surrendered souls.

“Don’t ever let your happiness depend on something that can be taken away from you. Place it instead in the One who will never leave.”

Trusting Allah in hardship is like holding onto a rope when everything else slips away. The storm does not end immediately, but the heart finds peace in the One guiding it.

What It Means to Be Free

Modern life equates freedom with doing whatever we want  no rules, no limits. But Reclaim Your Heart offers a radical truth: real freedom is not the absence of limits, but the absence of chains.

“When the slave of Allah is freed from everything else, only then is he truly free.”

Freedom is found in surrender. The moment we release our hearts from clinging to people, power, or possessions, we step into a deeper liberation: belonging only to Allah.

Final Reflection

To reclaim your heart is not to stop loving, dreaming, or living. It is to stop confusing the temporary with the eternal. It is to find joy in people and places without letting them own you. It is to anchor yourself to the One who never leaves.

In a world where everything eventually slips away, reclaiming your heart is the most courageous act of freedom.

Chicago The City That Rose from Ashes to Touch the Sky

The City That Rose from Ashes to Touch the Sky

Chicago history, Chicago attractions, why visit Chicago, Chicago skyscrapers, Chicago tourism, Chicago resilience story, things to do in Chicago

Every city has a story, but Chicago’s story is a heartbeata tale of fire, determination, and dreams reaching for the sky. When you walk along its bustling streets or gaze at its glittering skyline, you’re not just looking at steel and glass. You’re witnessing a city that refused to stay down.

"In flames we wept,

Yet dreams stood tall,

From ashes grey,

We built it all"

The Fire That Changed Everything

"Chicago is not a city it’s a promise kept in concrete and glass."

Imagine this: It’s October 1871. Flames rage through Chicago, destroying more than 17,000 buildings, leaving 100,000 people homeless. The Great Chicago Fire turned a thriving city into ashes in just three days. People lost homes, businesses, and hope. But instead of despair, something extraordinary happened Chicago fought back.

The Rise of Skyscrapers  Hope in Steel

With land scarce and the population growing, architects asked a daring question:

What if we built upward?

In 1885, Chicago gave the world its first skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building. That moment didn’t just redefine architecture it symbolized a city’s refusal to give up. Chicago became a global pioneer, the birthplace of modern cities.

Hidden Engineering Miracles

Chicago’s story isn’t just about tall buildingsit’s about bold ideas that saved lives:

The Floating City:

In the 1850s, the entire downtown was lifted on jackscrews to install sewers and fight disease.

The Reversed River: 

In 1900, engineers reversed the flow of the Chicago River to protect Lake Michigan’s water supply.

The City Grid & Urban Planning: 

Chicago shaped how modern cities organize themselves.

Today’s Chicago  A Living Museum

From the ashes rose a city that never stopped innovating. Today, when you explore Chicago, you’re walking through history:

Millennium Park & Cloud Gate (The Bean): Art meets architecture.

Willis Tower Skydeck: Stand on the glass ledge and feel the heartbeat of a city that touches the sky.

Navy Pier: Where Lake Michigan kisses the skyline.

Art Institute of Chicago: A sanctuary for art lovers.

Architecture River Cruise: The best way to see the story written in steel and stone.

Chicago’s history teaches us one powerful truth: Even in ashes, there’s a chance to rise higher than ever before.

So next time you visit, don’t just look up at the skyscrapersfeel the story they’re telling you.

Some cities are born lucky. Others are forged in fire.

Chicago is one of those rare places where every street, every tower whispers a story of pain and power, loss and rebirth.

“The city was on fire, but its spirit never burned.”
