I just saw this. I pray for the full recovery of HH Sheikh Khalifa. I know he has had some challenges but has been an example of dedication to fulfilling his duties and an inspiration to us all.

Great! Can you give us the link! I am sure it's first class.

Ya salam, masood!!!!! Your work is splendid! I love your drawing skills and your painting prowess. Proud to say you studied in my state of Maryland in the USA! Your work is fabulous. Welcome!!!

Actually, we didn't start it ...the English decapitated a fellow named Charles and the world changed. Too bad, he had a great court painter. Quite a revolution. I think the ripples spread and picked up force over the years. I do believe that one thing will influence another and that the...

I was sent this today, I cannot vouch that it is what is really happening but it is something to brace yourself and it is from a pretty reliable source: Quote: Abdullah, 88, reportedly has been placed on life support after having undergone spinal surgery the week of Nov. 18...

Princess Haya once wrote the most charming letter to a little girl and completely revealed herself as a truly beautiful person. After that (which is somewhere on this very forum) I have to say I am thoroughly charmed by her as well. She has been discreet, devoted, and exemplary in every way. No...

Mashallah! Great news! :flowers:

I am sure there is a term for many many many congratulations! I am just barely able to say Inshallah! In my own limited way. But I do say that I am so terribly please that this little fellow made it here. Maybe he will go great things. Sometimes getting here is half the battle or even 3/4 of the...

Congratulations! :heart: This is getting complicated. I think there should be a gigantic family tree with some sort of "you are here" arrow to show how everyone is related to everyone else. BUT I think it would be a very complex tree indeed!:flowers:

I very seldom come into this part of the forum and I am really mortified that such rudeness is spattered out to a good man who is only trying to take his own time to tell us about his culture. Imanmajed's forbearance and patience have been so very inspirational and I thank him immensely for...

It is the most difficult job, being a parent. If you are a rocket scientist at least you know how much wire you need and how many circuit boards. If you are a parent you don't get a blueprint for making a good person.

I have always admired the discretion of the ruling and top families of the Emirates, and many of the Arab nations. We have lost that sort of dignity in the West, and that is a bad loss for us. I have never heard any reliable source spreading public rumors about the private lives of the families...

Thank you so much for telling us about your marriage customs. I have read your posts several times. You are very kind for taking the time to do this.

I bet a lot of us would like to know that, please do share.

My husband once observed, "In the West we are polygamous, too, only we have one spouse at a time, get rid of them and take another. So we practice serial polygamy."
