Download or read book My Little Epiphanies written by Aisha Chaudhary and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a movie tie-in edition and any reviews posted before October 10, 2019 are from the previous edition of the same title published in 2015. Aisha Chaudhary was born with SCID (severe combined immune deficiency) and underwent a bone-marrow transplant when she was six months old. She lived in New Delhi, where she was born. The year 2014 was brutal for Aisha as her disease progressed, and her lungs started giving up on her. The last few months of the year felt like a roller-coaster ride, one that seemed to be mostly going down. Spending almost all her time lying in bed, Aisha wrote down her thoughts to get some relief, to get them out of her head. Aisha's life was not anything like the average life of an urban teenager, but she had experienced a lifetime of emotions; life and death, fear and anger, love and hate, the depths of utter sorrow and the happiest one can be. In My Little Epiphanies she took a hard look at her own feelings and what it was that gave her a sense of hope and control. This book gave her life purpose and meaning, something to hold on to. Sometimes, Aisha's little epiphanies had morphed into doodles that capture what was going on in her mind as her destiny played itself out. Through the book she wanted the world to understand her unusual life and she hoped that it will inspire others, going through similar hardships, to find peace.

Download or read book Instigating Profligacy written by E. Barbuto and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-10 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-something Aviva moved to Cairo shortly after graduating from college with a degree in elementary education. She became a teacher not because she cared passionately about educating the young, but for the traveling opportunities the career provided. Aviva's best friend, Aisha, has visited her mother's family in Cairo on several occasions. When she's twenty-four, she decides to move to Egypt to live with them for a year or two. But there are problems from the beginning. When Aviva's roommate abandons her, the two friends become roommates, setting them up for some unforgettable exploits. Aviva and Aisha's worldly adventures range from hilarious to traumatic, taking them from Egypt to its neighbors and even farther east. Together, they suffer from culture shock that is worse the second year than the first. It comes from realizing that they've been desensitized to things that once stunned or saddened them-and causes them to question their own sanity. They get into and out of trouble, both at work and on vacation; learn new languages; and make friends and enemies along the way. One important lesson is reiterated everywhere they go-if they don't try to apply American logic, everything makes more sense! Instigating Profligacy: Aviva and Aisha's Adventures in the World is based on author E. G. Barbuto's experiences living, working, and vacationing in the Middle East and Asia.

Download or read book Emotional Transitions in Contemporary Afrodiasporic Women s Writing written by Ángela Suárez-Rodríguez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an in-depth study of the category "stranger" as represented in four contemporary Afrodiasporic novels of female authorship: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, Sefi Atta’s A Bit of Difference, NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names and Imbolo Mbue’s Behold the Dreamers. Examined from an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together different approaches to the figure of the stranger and Affect Theory, the plurality of experiences of estrangement, disorientation and unbelonging portrayed in these texts allows expansion upon Sara Ahmed’s (2000) investigation of "stranger fetishism" and, in so doing, contributes to the recent call for a more nuanced understanding of the idea of "stranger". In particular, the critical and comparative study of the different migration experiences of the protagonists reveals that, within the framework of the contemporary African diaspora to the West, "strange(r)ness" is a situated, embodied and emotional condition that depends on the politics of location and of identity from which it emerges. This book will particularly appeal to scholars and students in the fields of Postcolonial Studies, African Diaspora Studies and Black Women’s Literature, and will also be suitable for students at graduate and advanced undergraduate levels in English Studies.

This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe there is a great need in the whole world for the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran and Hadith to be written in English. Currently, there is a great misunderstanding about Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims globally. The misunderstanding of the meaning of the Holy Quran and Hadith among Muslims will lead to the wrong practice of Islam which leads to the wrong actions of Muslims. The wrong actions of Muslims will lead to misunderstandings about Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims. The wrong actions of the Muslims have led to many miseries and wars among Muslims. The wrong actions of Muslims have also led to many wars and clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims. In order to avoid miseries, wars and clashes from taking place between the whole mankind in the whole world, the whole mankind in the whole world need to understand the true teaching of Islam. There is no other way for the whole mankind to understand the true teaching of Islam unless the whole mankind is able to read and understand the correct interpretation of the Holy Quran and Hadith. With the grace of Allah, I have completed the interpretation of the Holy Quran with 84 books, and Hadith with 7 books. The series of the interpretation of the hadith consist of 7 books that are Virtues of Tabligh or Dakwah, Virtues of Solat, Virtues of Solat Tahajud, Virtues of The Holy Quran, Virtues of Charity, Virtues of Ramadhan and Virtues of Pilgrimage. Among all the 7 above orders of Allah, the first 5 books focus on the order of Allah that should be done daily, fasting should be done in the month of Ramadhan every year and pilgrimige to Mekah should be done once in a lifetime for those who are able to do it financially, healthy and safely and all these orders are to be done in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah. Besides the 84 books on the interpretation of the Holy Quran, these 7 books of Hadith should be read daily in every mosque and in every house in the whole entire world in order to have the correct mindset on the orders of Allah, and when the mankind will practice all the orders of Allah what has been mentioned in the Holy Quran and Hadith in the way shown by Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah, only then the entire mankind will have the correct belief in Allah and in the orders of Allah. When the entire mankind have the correct belief and mindset towards Allah and the orders of Allah, only then the entire mankind will have the correct actions or deeds. When the entire mankind will have the correct deeds only then the entire mankind in this world will be able to live with peace and happiness in this world and the hereafter. Prof. Nasoha Bin Saabin
