"Die vulgärarabische Poetik al-Kitāb al-ʿāṭil al-ḥālī wal-muraḫḫaṣ al-ġālī des Ṣafīyaddīn Ḥillī" by Ṣafi-ad-Dīn ʿAbd-al-ʿAzīz Ibn-Sarāya al-Ḥillī

Reminded of Deuteronomy 4:9 and Qur’an Surah alAn’am 6 Ayat 74 to 79, which are #holy to many people.

The Prophet #Muhammad is recorded teaching that this is a time to reflect upon Allah.

The name Allah is #Arabic for God. It has been said in different ways by similar people, seperated by space and time.

#AlFassel and #PishtazNews are also #AIgenerated #propaganda machines by the #Pentagon targeting #farsi and #arabic speaking audience in the #MiddleEast.

The Khātūniyya Madrasa ( #Arabic: المدرسة الخاتونيـة al-Madrasa al-Khātūniyya) is a mausoleum in Jerusalem and was a school. It is by the western esplanade of the #alAqsaCompound (the Ḥaram esh-Sharīf). It was built between 1354 and 1380. It is one of the three Jerusalem madrasas endowed by a woman, the others being the #ʿUthmāniyyaMadrasa and the obscure Barudiyya.

Palestinian Arrested In Quezon City For Stealing Money Bag

For some time now, I have been monitoring the criminal acts committed by people who are present in different countries as foreigners. Here in the Philippines, a Palestinian man was arrested in Quezon City for stealing a bag containing a lot of cash from the café of a hotel, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

As it turns out, the Palestinian already has a history of committing other forms of crime. Could it be possible that, apart from violence and terrorism, theft and an obsession of committing crime are parts of the Palestinian nature?

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

A 36-year-old Palestinian man was arrested after allegedly taking a money bag containing P5,020 and an empty cash box from a hotel café on Timog Avenue in Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City, at around 11:06 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.

The suspect, identified as “Ham,” was intercepted by hotel security personnel at the establishment’s exit after the incident was detected through the hotel’s CCTV monitoring system.

Initial investigation showed that the suspect entered the café and allegedly took the money bag and empty cash box without the knowledge or consent of the 24-year-old male cashier.

Recovered from the suspect were P5,020 in various peso bills and coins, the cash bag, the empty cash box, and a backpack.

Personnel of Kamuning Police Station (PS 10) later responded and took custody of the suspect from the hotel security personnel.

Further verification showed that the suspect had previous criminal records for estafa, unjust vexation, resistance and disobedience to a person in authority, use of a fictitious name, and concealing his true name in October 2025, as well as theft in May 2026.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are there a lot of Palestinians living in your local community right now? Are you aware of the fact that a lot of Palestinians follow Islamic terrorists as their leaders? How many Palestinians do you think are present all over the Philippines today? Did you notice an increase of the number of foreign Islamists in your local community over the past twelve months? Do you think the national government is secretly allowing Palestinians to enter the Philippines as high-priority refugees with immigration in mind?

You may answer in the comments below. If you prefer to answer privately, you may do so by sending me a direct message online.

We need a specific CSS styling for formatting classical Arabic poetry. It's always been a pain, and nobody has a good solution.

The poetry has a very strict form:

It's organized in lines (called بيت bayt = house), each line has two parts (called شطر shatr = half).

The two shatr of a bayt should always be together, but are sometimes printed on the same line, other times alternating lines with indentation, depending on the page width.

The lines are justified, preferably using kashida instead of kerning or word spacing.

The image below shows the layout from a 10th century poem by al-Ma'arri as it appears on alDiwan.net. If you inspect the HTML, it's an absolute mess. https://www.aldiwan.net/poem23625.html

Yes, you can use tables or grids, but neither allows for the flexibility of layouts that Arabic readers are used to.

Imagine how much better the web would be if Arabic poetry styling was natively supported by CSS?

On what it takes to typeset Arabic correctly.

"[The history of Arabic typography] involve a twice-mutilated vizier, a Qurʾān that vanished for four centuries, a Beirut newspaperman with a deadline, and an Egyptian physician who taught himself font engineering for fun (or that what I imagine about him). Walking through these, ended up to be the most enjoyable couple of weeks in that job, and I want to go through it here too."

"#Egypt had enough to argue about without inventing a #conspiracy.

Its #WorldCup run ended in a 3-2 loss to #Argentina after Egypt had led 2-0. A goal by #MostafaZiko was ruled out after a video assistant referee (#VAR) review, and Egypt complained about the officiating. Fans argued about the referee, the late collapse, and whether #FIFA’s system had failed.

That is #soccer.

Then the explanation moved somewhere else.

In parts of #Arabic-language media and online discourse, Egypt had not simply lost to Argentina. It had lost to FIFA, #Zionism, #Israel, the referee, #LionelMessi, #Argentinian President #JavierMilei, Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu, and a hidden system built to keep Egypt out.

One #Egyptian commentator made the claim openly: Egypt had lost to “Zionism, the referee, FIFA, and Argentina.”

That was not match analysis. It was the oldest #conspiracytheory in a new stadium – a new version of the mutating virus that is #antisemitism."

“#Egypt is my homeland, the land of my birth. There I grew up and was raised. She is my teacher and the source of my livelihood, the place where I wake and where I sleep. I have no other country to love.”

With these words by the #Cairo-born #Jewish #poet #MouradFarag, #NaglaaAbdelHaq opens her #book, #Jews and #Greeks in #Egypt and Their Economic Role until 1960. Tracing the careers of entrepreneurs from ethnic and religious minorities, the book focuses on the country’s two largest minorities at the time—its #Jewish and #Greek communities.

#Translated from #English and published in #Arabic by #DarAlKarma, the book grew out of a doctoral dissertation for which the #Palestinian-#German researcher received her PhD in #MiddleEastern Studies from #FriedrichAlexanderUniversity #ErlangenNuremberg."
