Hajj Season

Hello Daddy, how are you?

I’m great Salama.

Salama, are you talk-ing with your dad?

Give me the phone to check on him. Here you are

Mom.

Why Muslims go to Hajj Salama?

Muslims go to Hajj obeying Allah’s commands, because Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam.

Fifth pillar!.. What do you

mean?

I mean that Islam has five pillars, which are: Two testimonies or

Shahada ; Ritual Prayer or Salah; Obligatory Charity or Zakah; Fast-

ing or Sawm; Pilgrimage or Hajj.

I’m Salama Scenario: Loulwa Thani

Only now I know why daddy is doing Hajj. The Muslim who doesn’t do

that is not a good Muslim, right?

Not exactly.

How is that? You just said it’s a pillar

of Islam. True, Islam is also a

religion of ease, not a difficult religion, you have to do Hajj if you

can.

You mean poor peo-ple who can’t afford travel & Hajj costs?

Exactly! .. But in our beloved country, charity

agencies are racing to help the poor perform

Hajj.

Mandatory delay Have you changed

your vehicle’s tyres to complete

the registration process?

I still have an-other month for

the licence.

But your rear tyres have expired, they look in a bad

condition.

Don’t worry my friend, we are in the weekend, I want to enjoy it not to waste it on fix-

ing my car.

Have a nice weekend, don’t forget our invitation for you & your family for

Friday Lunch.

How could I, specially you will prepare

delicious Chicken Kabsah

We will wait for all of you

He is too late, he know we are

waiting for them.

May be because of traffic

No, it’s Friday. Roads are empty

Now I’m worried, call him Salem

Engineer Salem

I preferred not to call you to justify the delay so as not to mock me

Oh man, what happened

Before we get to your house, a tyre exploded, and here we are looking for a rescue car to

replace it I’m coming.

Why are you laughing

Salem

You didn’t want to waste your weekend on fixing

your car and look what you are doing now

Do not underestimate anything your car need

because it is for your safety and for those who

is riding with you.You are right Salem, Thank

God I was driving at a low speed when the tyre

exploded

Your car is ready sir

Okay. I’ll wait for you at home, I’m starving

I’ll bring my family, they are in the waiting room, we will follow you please accept my apologies for this delay.

water safety

Saif & Nasser strolling along the beach moving away from their family site.

Let’s swim a little.

But Mom & Dad said we mustn’t swim with no body attending us; plus we are not having

our floats.

Don’t worry, we won’t go

too far.

Okay, let’s swim then.

Oh Help! I’m drowning.

Oh No! I can’t reach you, it’s so

deep in here.

Ask for Help, I’ll die!

Someone is drowning.. I have

to save him.

Super Nader saved Nasser and gave him some aids to take the

water out of his stomach, after a while Nasser

opened his eyes.

Oh! What happened

to me?!

You were about to drown.

Saif & his father came to the scene.

Oh Son.. are you okay? Your brother told me you were drowning..

Thank God you are safe and sound.

I Promise. Thank you Super Nader for

saving my life.

It’s okay son, your safety is what matters. Promise you will never

repeat it again.

I’m sorry dad.

Teach your child to swim well, advise him to keep his head raised

in the water, do not allow the young to run or play near the sea or

swimming pools, and if

you notice any sign of thermal stress, you must follow

safety tips.

I did not know he went swimming, he did it

without informing me.

The worst could have happened,

never let your son swim alone again.

field Trip

Son kindly follow the system of the

trip and listen to your supervisor.

Okay Mum. See you later.

The cock and his friends arrived to the bus that will take them to their trip

After all the participants arrived, the bus started towards the Amusement Park

As usual, the naughty cock did not stick to his chair, but he led the chaos in the bus without paying attention to the

supervisor’s instructions

Stay in your seats, this is not

appropriate

The naughty cock kept on his wrong behavior.

Sit down please, I can’t focus on

driving

Driver please stop the bus

in the nearest spot you can.

Traffic Jungle

If you keep on doing this bad behavior I’ll take you back to the club,

specially you cock

Come & look my friend, what a

scenery

Watch out son, you may fall &

get hurt

Amid all this chaos caused by the naughty cock, the bus driver got distracted and another vehicle suddenly

appeared in front of him. He strongly deviated from the road & entered a winding road

The cock couldn’t balance himself, he bumped his head against one of the chairs and fell on the ground.

Just the result I expected, you caused us and yourself harm

Forgive me Ms., I’ll never

do it again

What are you doing

Alia?

I was watching a program

about comets.

What are comets?

Have you ever seen a bright body with a long tail travelling through

the night sky?Yes I did.

That is the comet. It’s an icy ball that appears in the sky when passing close to the sun. It is made mostly of ice mixed with smaller

amounts of dust and rock.

Explain in details Alia what a comet

consists of? Comets have three main parts, namely Coma: This is a big cloud of gas & dust

that covers the comet’s body. The Coma gets

thicker as the comet gets closer to the Sun.

The second part is the Nucleus: which is a solid, core structure of a comet. A comet’s nucleus is composed of a combination of rock, dust, water

ice and frozen gases. When a comet sweeps close to the Sun, explosions happen in the nucleus which diffuse

large amounts of gas and dust.

The third part is the Tail: Comets have two tails: a dust tail and an ion tail. A comet’s

tail gets longer and more impressive as it gets closer to

the Sun.

When do comets become visible in Earth?

Comets became visible when they pass through the inner Solar System. The dust and gas reflect direct sunlight

so the comet becomes luminous and shiny.

Wow

Do you know that there are countless comets

circulating in outer space. Till the year

2010, astronomers have discovered about 4,000

comets in our Solar System.

You always have valuable

and impressive information.

Sahih, the Roads FriendAn unacceptable chaos

16 - 17

However, using such things in

incorrect way causes chaos and

turned them into a source of noise. Dear friends, for sure radio and

music players were invented so we

can enjoy them

This bothers other road

users as well.

Even if you close your vehicle

windows, listening to music and

songs at this high speed distracts

you on the road and confuses you

and it may lead to an accident.

This behaviour is

unacceptable and don’t forget

that driving is art, taste and

ethics.

Inspector HamadScenario: Loulwa Thanimobile use while driving

It is wrong to drive the car with one hand and hold the phone with the other hand.

Hey.. hey stop immediately.

Stop.. Stop, you hit my car.

Madam, you hit another

What! What happened for all this fuss?!

You caused a traffic accident because you were distracted by your phone.

Accident!.. Me!.. No, it must be the other driver’s fault. Madam, look at

the position of the gear lever.

Ohh No! It is put on Reveuse, I thought I

totally stopped. Thanks to God for your safety madam, I hope you will be more attentive and refrain from using the phone while driving so as not to endanger your life and the others’ lives as well.

I’m so embarrassed

and I don’t know what to do.. I’m

really sorry.

You could have avoid the fine of using hand-held

mobile phone while driving which is punishable by 800

AED and 4 black points.
