Tomorrow is the first day of the ten days of the month of Thulhijjah. These are considered the special seasons of worship. Which Allah, The Almighty preferred over all the other days of the year.
According to hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) they reported that Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days" The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause and came back with nothing"
From this hadith, we know that these ten days are better than the last ten days of the month of Ramadan, but they are not better than the ten nights of the last of Ramadan. Because of the Night of power (lailatul gadr).
There are many virtues in these ten days of the month of Thulhijjah. We shall take some tips hoping that the reader can be reminded of the ten days and their virtues.
first. In Quraan, Surat Alfajr, Allah, The Almighty swears an oath by them. When The Almighty swears an oath by something it indicates the greatness and the importance of it. Allah said, ((By the dawn, by the ten nights,))
From the previous Hadeeth and Surat Alfajr, we know the importance of these ten days. Nabi Mohammed, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encourages us to do the righteous deeds because of the virtue of the season and virtue of the place. The house of Allah. It is the first house which was built for worship.
Second, Arafa day is among these ten days. its fasting removes away the sins of one year before and the next year. (of course, for the nonpilgrim).
Third, once the moon of the month of Thulhijjah is seen people can say tahmeed and takbeer and they can fast all the nine days of it. Of course, the day of Eid is prohibited to fast on it. These are some of the benefits of these ten days. We shall continue later. I hope this topic reminds you of the ten days. 

I depart from you and

The age for you is like flowers

 Clouded by the dew  

The lover sings for us

There will be no worries or danger

Living in our hearts

Our roads, oh lovely one, only tomorrow,

When our children become our joys

That wipes the life sorrow

We shall walk all those wide roads and

Our small cottages become more than cities.

Oh, my love put your hands on

mine and we walk all those wide roads.

.

Oh, girls, we are back

We came to put our hands on our good land

Oh girls be happy

Open your doors and your windows 

And wipe the hot tears

We are the ones who fulfill our hopes

And remove away our pain

We will water the land

Oh, girls, you are a river covered with clouds

We are determined and good but

The fire will die if we forget and

We will be back circling the same circle,

 useless and unproductive

Our land is longing and calling for us

The thunder is rumbling loud over us and

The rain is cleaning our fear

Our fear will drift away if we start

Oh, girls, we are back, be happy.

I am crawling, grovelling and sometimes, I run, nevertheless, I have been moving very slowly to get to the number one hundred blog. Shame on you Dara! People have already done more than four hundred blogs and you are still creeping to get to your one hundred blogs. If you divide those blogs into the number of years on My EC, the outcome or the consequences would be very disappointing.          

Now, I have reached it but honestly, I do not know what to tell the reader? Now, shall I tell him about my failure of reaching that number? If the great bloggers see this, no doubt they will laugh at me. I can see and feel the sarcastic glance in their eyes. I do not mean my dearest friend, Mr Mishaikh personally. By God, no, I wish him all the best in his life and the other great bloggers, too. 

Dara Gino, the lazy teacher is moving like a turtle, maybe slower than the turtle itself. Of course, we have to cherish our visions and our dreams. I do not know what my ultimate achievements are. Is it the number of the blogs or topics we write?  

Some readers might agree to that. Others might choose the option of the quality. nevertheless, great people always dare to follow their dreams through good times and bad times. I do not want to praise myself. Yes, it is my one hundred blog on My English Club. I wonder, shall I feel proud or ashamed?           

Why do we run away from our fate?

We spend our days in suffer.

Why do you tell us that we are finished?

We are still very young.

During the days, we have become a story

that does not recognize an end

love and affection began and they became a goal

you used to offer me happiness,

when I drown in my tears,

you will also cry from deep inside

we were powerful in our past,

a power that challenges difficulties.

We cut the dark night.

We walk on the trail.

We were a symbol of kindness.

Jokes are usually funny brief stories that intended to make people laugh. Sometimes, they depend on the person who tells the joke himself. The joke can be very amusing, but the joker or the person who is telling them is not funny. His jokes fall flat and no one will laugh. Therefore, people will not find it very funny. on the contrary, the joke can be silly, but the person who narrates them is a funny or an amusing man.

Did I tell you the joke about that man who left his car keys in the ignition? He locked the car and he forgot to take the keys with him. Then, he brought a wire and inserted it into the gap of the glass window trying to pull it out. He started to move left and right and did many actions to do it but he failed. Another man had been sitting inside the car and he was telling him to go right and left so that he could be able to get the key from inside the car. That joke was not funny, but the person who was telling it was a real joker.   

In spite of the language differences, jokes remain funny stories for us to laugh. Let us start with this one;

A man divorced his wife. After a week, her father died, and she inherited thirty million dollars from him. When the husband heard the news. He called his wife saying, "I am pregnant".

Today is April 13 and no one talked about April Fool. I guess people want to forget about such kind of jokes. If you fool me, I can also fool you. The joke makes a fool of someone or some people. It brings hatred, grudging, and hard feelings between people. I do not know the origin of the April Fool Day. It could be a British, Dutch or Spanish. We do not celebrate this Day in our country.

People, who love to tease or joke, make others angry and uneasy. Practical jokes or mischievous act is not desirable. Look at those TV programs. They put a hidden camera and then they play or act mischievously on some innocent bystanders. They frustrated them to a degree of getting them out of their control and temper. I do not like most of these programs although some of them are very funny and make you laugh.

The people who make a celebration for this day saw that it was very wise to forget about it or at least, not to talk about it. Magazines, newspapers, websites stopped doing that. It will lead to more hatred and grow hard feelings on those who are fooled. Honestly, I do not like tricks.

The three big industrial countries, Japan, China, and Korea are doing their best to provide the world with their best products. I noticed the race between China and Korea. When the Japanese invented the Corolla, car it was good for those countries that do not produce oil. The Japanese prefer it the most. Of course, they had invented other luxurious cars like Cressida, Camry, Lexus, but they prefer Corolla the most, and naturally, you know the reason.

The consumption of oil. During the oil crisis in the seventies, most countries tried to acclimatize themselves by inventing small cars that consume a few amounts of gas. Corolla and Yaris were there by the Japanese and the Korean company, Hyundai at once invented Accent, which is no less than the Corolla in the consumption of oil.

The Chinese have their new invention, Geely. Like the Corolla and the accent, it consumes less gas too. By the way, I used to own a Corolla and an Accent too. My recent car is Geely. Regarding cell phones look at Samsung Galaxy by the Koreans and then the new mobile phone, Huawei by the Chinese. The race between the two countries is just going on.   

(In that night) is a famous Sudanese song. I wanted the members to feel those who get the blow in the tank. Getting the blow in the tank is very dangerous. it means explosion and it means the end of life for some. Someone loved a girl and someone else married her. Please enjoy reading

In that night, it was not easy for me

I could not forgive you or blame you

You took all the wounds and the smile

I came to congratulate you and shake hands

I extended my hands without any talk

Because I could not stand in front of you

I came back blocking my tears

In that night,

the people are sharing your joy

I felt I was a stranger there and you are a stranger in my world

I really felt the meaning of separation

I saw the tears behind the eyelashes 

Suppressed by sorrow and loss

The trembling of that palm was saying goodbye

They say that we have to take the wisdom even from the mouths of mad ones. When we are wise we stay safe and with no problems at all. It is a good sense and a good judgment, too. The natural ability to understand things that most people cannot understand. If you fail to see the wisdom in doing something, you have to bear the consequences.

 Our story begins with the three animals but this time, instead of the donkey, we have the wolf. The fox is always smart and he knows how to free himself in difficult or critical situations. We cannot call him wise, but in his actions, we can find some wisdom.

The lion asked the wolf this question, "Who is the king in this jungle?"

The wolf replied quickly, "Of course, it is you, and I am your deputy. This fox here is our guard."  He looked at the fox by the side of his eyes disapprovingly.

The lion got so angry and hit the wolf with his left hand on his head until his brain came out. Then he turned to the fox and told him to answer who is the king in this jungle? 

The fox swallowed his slaver and began cautiously,

 "You are the king, my lord. The lioness is your deputy and I am your obedient servant."

The lion was very happy and he began, "it is very clever of you, but tell me, how did you manage that?"

The fox answered, "It was that flown brain of the idiot wolf."

Wisdom is very important in our life. I surely hope to gain more wisdom in the coming days. My father used to give me few words of wisdom. I forgot most of them. I hope you like wisdom, too. 

What is so special about Mother's Day? I guess it shows us the struggle of the woman who fights to make a good living for her family. It is an occasion to remind us of the fruit and the production that the woman gives and produces for us. It is a simple and a symbolic day for her. Some women are working hard in different fields; others are working under gunfire and the sounds of jet fighters, bombs, and rockets. That woman does not forget her role as a mother to our girls and boys. Some men die and leave more than ten or fifteen children for their wives. Those mothers are not desperate. Imagine this number of children and she is alone working, struggling and doing her best to lead them to the shore of safety among a rough sea with raging waves. They deserve a nice present on this day, don't you agree with me?  

 I do not know who created this day, but it is an honor for that brave mother. We do not celebrate Woman's Day in our country. Symposiums are held here and there and parties take place in some clubs or general public areas, because of this Memorial Day. Mother's Day is coming with the arrival of spring this time of this year, twenty eighteen. Greetings for those brave mothers who make history and they really deserve to be honored on this occasion of Mother's Day.     

The fox said, "Use your mind, for God's sake, and tell me how you sit on the chair of the throne with your tail underneath like that?"

The donkey said, "I didn't think about that and it didn't cross my mind either."

"That was why the lion wanted to cut it." Prompted the fox.

The donkey said, "You were right and true, take me to him to apologize, so that we can arrange the matters."

The fox took the donkey with him for the third time.

Then the donkey said, "I am sorry, and I am ready for whatever you ask from me."

The lion said, "Don't worry about it. These were only different of opinions."

The lion stood up. He devoured the donkey from his neck. The donkey was shouting, "Where do I put the crown?  Where do I put the crown? Where do I put the crown…. Until he lost his final breath. 

The donkey said, "Play another, are you kidding me? You told me that he wanted to give me the post of a king and in fact, he wanted to eat me."

The fox said, "That was not true. He really wanted to put you up as a king, but wait!" 

"Then what do you explain his hitting me on the head until both my ears were flown?"  said the donkey.

The fox, "you are naïve. How he could you be enthroned and how he could be able to put the crown on your head? Your ears should have been flown so that he could put the crown on your head. You are a stupid donkey.

The donkey said, "Hehehehe! I believed you. You are a good fox. I shall go with you to the kind lion."

The donkey came back to the lion's den once more, and said,                                     "I am sorry, I misunderstood you."  

The lion said, "Simple, its ok."

The lion stood and came closer to the donkey and hit him on his ass until his tail was out of its place, and the donkey ran away.

The fox said, "I am tired of you"

The lion grumbled, "Bring me that donkey or I will eat you"  

therefor the second attempt failed.

The fox came back to the donkey saying, "What is your problem?"

The donkey answered, "You are a liar and you are laughing at me. I lost my ears and then my tail and you just keep telling me that he wanted to put me up as a king. You are a fake, an imposter."

To be continued... 

The three animals lived in a jungle, a lion, a fox, and a donkey. The lion, as usual, is the king of the jungle, was hungry and the fox was with him all the time as if as he was his prime minister. Then the lion said to the fox,

"I am hungry; fetch me something to eat or I will have to eat you."

The fox, "Eating me! No, no…, the donkey is here. I shall bring him to you so that you can eat him."

Then the fox went to the donkey and said,

"Watch out! The lion is looking for another king for the jungle, let's go to him and be good to him, it might work."

The donkey, "are you sure?"

The donkey began to think happily about the post that is awaiting him. It is the chance of his life. He began to build his new kingdom and his pinky dreams of his retinue that made him fly in another space.

 Of course, the donkey arrived at the lion's den and before he talked, the lion stood up, hit him on the head, and cut his ears. The donkey ran at once.

Therefore, the first plan failed.

Then the lion said to the fox, "Bring me the donkey or otherwise, I shall eat you." The fox said, "All right, I bring him to you, but I hope you finish him quickly."

The fox went back to the donkey and said, "It is true that you are a donkey and you do not understand. How could you leave the post of the king of the jungle and miss a nice post like that? Don't you want to be a king?"

To be continued 

The idea came playing inside my imagination. It was absolutely absurd and naïve at the same time. It happened when I read about the famous deal in history. Three twos! I cannot forget that number 222 million Euro. The biggest deal, which was made by those agents, managers, brokers, executives with the French club and Barcelona, the famous Spanish club.

The chairman of the Paris Saint Germain, Mr. Nassir Khelaifi wanted to transfer Neymar Da Silva, the Brazilian striker to his club. The deal reached the highest one in the history of succor. Neymar is getting more than forty million euro per year. This is unbelievable.

At first, I said to myself, let your sons learn how to read and write, and then concentrate on teaching them how to gain football skills. Those skills; can they be gained or can we create them? I discussed the matter with my wife and she was not convinced. She wanted her sons to become Doctors or engineers. I was not convinced either with that situation.

The salary of my son as a doctor could not reach half of that amount during the year. I am not good at mathematics; I tried to bring the calculator and explained the amount in figures to my wife, but it seems she was far away from that idea. She told me that they might not act as that Brazilian striker. Alternatively, they might break their feet or legs. I am in a hole. Was that right? Being a famous scientist is good, but look at the huge amount of money people get from succor.

Do you remember that Brazilian midfielder? Or maybe he was a striker. Socrates was his name. He was a doctor, I could not recall whether he was a dentist or not. He left medicine to go to succor and then resigned. When he was asked why, he replied that at a certain age, you would not be able to play succor, but medicine would be there for a long time.

Because you are so good to me

Your face is the world joy.

Your inners are like beam light.

I knew you as if …..

I have seen you before finding you

Like the river, you spring joy inside me.

You wipe grievance from my vision and

laugh for the coming time.

During early morning, your

features explode light.

With you, I am alive creature

Your clearness is the solution

Because you are so good to me,

and your face is the world joy.

I meet you and your age, just like

Flowers encountered by dew.

Your feelings are completed,

Your beautiful songs are blessed, with days.

Your features will stay there, just like before.

A poet fell in love with a doctor. He said,

"My love is pounding with your love."

She answered,

"We were taught that it was only a pump for blood. If you want me, come directly to my parents and ask for my hand."

I am still young at the flowers' age.

Shall I burn my years and dry it?

Do you want me to run after you, and sanctifies your love?

You know, time cannot change my heart from you.

I cannot forget you or the imagination turns away from you.

You are shaping me like a school and you are its teacher.

After you, I will stay in sadness.

You will be the oppressor, the harsher, and

doctors are far away from that.

I am optimistic about the new year 2018. Looking at the different circumstances of the current year, 2017. Noticing that some conflicts are less in certain areas, like Syria, Yemen. Iraq war is over with the terrorist organization. The middle east in general. The south of our country, Sudan and other scattered areas of Africa. Things are taking new shapes. North Korea and The United States are performing that mutual yarn. It is just like playing hide and seek. Iran with some Gulf countries. The quietness is the master of the situation. There is no escalation like before.

Christmas is coming which adds a spiritual joy to our Christian brothers. There are many indicators to let me be optimistic about twenty eighteen. The previous five years brought misery and unhappiness to many nations of the world. Some of them lost their homes, their sons or their daughters. Destruction was everywhere. 

Of course, if the Palestinian problem is settled, my optimism will be one hundred percent suitable. Am I right in that optimism, or is it too much to hope? Some members may have different perspectives about this. Of course, we have to respect them. 

What am I going to do about love?

It is getting deep down. I am scared.

I am scared if I met you by chance.

Our path brought you to us on that day.

Oh! My soul,

You take all the blame on me and increase my concern.

people could imagine ignorance or forgetfulness 

It is neither of them.

What am I going to do about love?

Someone help me! It is getting deep inside!
