Flashed light, seemingly endless pain, and astonishment. Such words do not even begin to scratch the surface of those that are fitting for the moment Farah Ahmedi stepped on a landmine and turned her life upside down. Ahmedi was a highly intelligent afghan muslim who was forced to mature at a young age. The landmine incident was just one horrific event that would happen throughout her journey. However, it was extremely significant, leading her to test her faith in God and to question her ability to ever feel as a regular girl again. In like manner, Ahmedi creates the essence of the composition by following her dreams to America, disregarding the beliefs she grew up hearing about the land of the free. Life can be taken away in an instant,
Do you believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person? While Other religions say that God is not a man, so Master Fard Muhammad cannot be Allah in person, the Nation of Islam believes that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person. I do believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person, and most people doubt it and ask what evidence do we have to prove that, but despite what other people say I do believe that there is reasonable evidence to prove that because He had gained 10,000 followers alone in Black Bottom, Detroit, He took a man named Elijah Poole, who only had a third grade education, and taught him for three years, a knowledge that was so powerful, and He came to North America by himself to raise his father's people.
Ibtihaj Muhammad is the first female Muslim Olympian, and is an American sabre fencer for Team USA. She plans to wear a hijab when competing at the Rio Olympics.
First, this dude call Minister Farrakhan the devil “If Lucifer had a son it be Louis Farrakhan”. Secondly, the minster is a positive role model for black men. Here is another black man, displaying self-hate, toward himself and his own people. Not to be cynical, this is a brother who probably listens to country music, and will attend a NASCAR event; further, I might assume is married to someone not of this race. However, what I found disturbing are his use of certain words; such as devil, Lucifer, hate, anti-Semitic, and racists. His views and opinions are more disconcerting because his the chief of police in a major city, I would be more afraid him than white officer. He would deny the minister protection in his city, however, probably
Farah Ahmedi’s goal was to cross the Afghanistan border to get to a better life in Pakistan. In the first read, The Other Side of the Sky, it says, “‘Night was falling, we were stranded out there in the open’”(Ahmedi 4). This states it was nighttime and her and her mother had no place to stay. Along the way, her and her mother faced many hardships, “The worst thing would have been if we had gotten separated. We were only risking injury”(Ahmedi 3). In addition, “Terribly warm and we had no water, but we walked. My mother began to wheeze. Her asthma was bad. Her anxiety made it worse. We could have gotten over in little more than an hour if not for my mother. Our journey took many hours”(Ahmedi 11). Overall, they succeeded their mission and made it over the border. For example, “This excerpt from “Escape from Afghanistan” describes their efforts to make it across the border and into Pakistan”(Introduction). This states Ahmedi and her mother made it over the border. In conclusion, Farah Ahmedi
Farah Ahmedi tried to escape war torn Afghanistan. For example, in “The Other Side of The Sky” when Ahmedi and her mother were at the Pakistan Afghanistan border “If we got stuck here what would we going to do, where were we going to stay” (Ahmedi 1). Ahmedi wanted to escape very badly because there was no other option for her and her mother. In addition, “Perhaps desperation gave me energy and made me forget the rigor of the climb” (Ahmedi 12). Ahmedi had a prosthetic leg and wanted to escape so badly, that she pushed through

The beginning of chapter five of Khaled Hosseini’s, The Kite Runner, marks “The end, the official end” (Hosseini 36). The authors descriptive first lines introduce the reader to the harsh night Amir, Hassan, and Ali are about to undergo. Hosseini uses the literary devices, imagery, alliteration, and onomatopoeia to build a lasting picture of the soon to be changed lives all afghans. Terror is developed in ones mind when Hosseini, uses the line, “A white light flashed, lit the sky in silver…followed by the rapid staccato of gunfire.” (35).
Her grandmother, brother, three sisters and herself all had to run away.“There is not one family that has not eaten the bitterness of war,” a young Afghan merchant said in the 1985 National Geographic story that appeared with Sharbat’s photograph on the cover. She was a child when her country was caught in the jaws of the Soviet invasion. A carpet of destruction smothered countless villages like hers. She was perhaps six when Soviet bombing killed her parents. By day the sky bled terror. At night the dead were buried. And always, the sound of planes, stabbing her with dread.
In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and Tatiana de Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key, two historical novels, Amir and Julia Jarmond emerge as strong individuals whose beliefs significantly contrast with those of their societies. Unlike Afghani society in both Afghanistan and the United States, Amir knows Hazaras deserve unalienable rights they have been deprived of. When Amir returns to Afghanistan to rescue Sohrab, Hassan’s orphaned son, he endures physical and emotional pain, risking his own safety so save Sohrab from Assef’s unjust hands. After Amir has successfully brought Sohrab to America, his wife’s family questions his desire to provide for a Hazara. Amir defiantly responds with, “‘And one more thing General Sahib... You will never again refer
Why is it that there are certain individuals who possess the ambition and courage to achieve almost impossible missions while other people struggle to set a goal? For example Farah Ahmedi wanted to escape a war torn country, afghanistan, to Pakistan. On her way she finds a very nice man who helps her cross the border on a secret path. Annie Johnson wants to start making money for her family by making her own path in life. She sells food to factory workers and in the end she is very successful. These are the things that make people strive for their goals.
In the Winter of 1975, Something unexpected occurred. A thing that would change Amir’s life forever. As Amir and Hassan had just finished the kite battle, Hassan ran as fast as he could after the kite. The price he would soon pay for the reward of his friend, would be a price Amir would never forget. His reaction to the moment the rape occurred was of pure fright and discourage.

It’s blistering hot, as the sun beats the soul out of the barren atmosphere of deserted Djibouti. The sand awakens, as barefoot boys chase a ragged ball down the terrain. Blood pouring from his shins, a boy quickly gains control of the jagged sphere and gracefully runs toward a handmade goalpost. He begins to celebrate as the majestic parabola lands perfectly in the net. Twenty-three years later, the world’s eyes would watch on as that same boy would make history running toward something far greater: the glory of not one, but two Olympic gold medals (“Mo Farah,” Gale par. 8). Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah showed the world that through hard work and diligence, dreams can be a revolutionizing reality (Gatehouse par. 2). At a age eight, he boarded
The collection of poems “Theater”, “Water”, and “Safe House” by Solmaz Sharif shows the varied viewpoints of how war affects the speakers and how death is all too common in the midst of warfare. The author uses a spectrum of literary techniques to enhance the experience of the reader, so we can fully grasp the severity of each speaker’s plight. All of Sharif’s poems differ in form with the use of white space and indentations in “Theater”, colons in “Water”, and a style of abecedarian using the letter S in “Safe House”. While her diverse use of forms generate different emotions from the reader, they share the same notion of how violence is problematic. Each poem has a unique outlook to the sight of war: “Theater” being in the position of a victim and an assailant of war, “Water” explaining a war mission and fatalities in terse terms, and “Safe House” as an observer of an activist against war. Sharif’s strategy to exemplify the effects of how war affects the victim and the civilian is particularly critical because mass media tends to hide the collateral damage of war and only illustrates why we should attack the “enemy”. Another approach the author uses to critique the speakers central conflicts is by arranging words from the US Department of Defense 's Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, to concur with the message of the several ways war influences the lives of those who are unwillingly encompassed by it. Sharif uses poetry as an outlet to show the underlying tone
Al Farabi was born in a small village near Farab around 870 AD. Al Farabi is credited with preserving the original Greek texts during the Middle Ages because of his commentaries and treaties, and influencing many prominent philosophers, like Ibn Sina. Through his works, he became well known in the East as well as the West. Al Farabi’s philosophy was heavily influenced by Greek philosophy just like how western philosophy was influenced by Greek philosophy. Specifically, Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates were the main Greek influencers of Al Farabi. Al Farabi as well as Ibn Sina have been recognized as Peripatetics or rationalists. The best known Arabic source for Al Farabi 's political philosophy is his work titled The Virtuous City.
