I just loved the creativity and the catchy images that made it meaningful to us.

A short note

Some how, Oman celebrated Mohsin Al Busaidy's arraival from his sailing experience and becoming the 1st Arab & Omani to ever sail non-stop arround the world.

A group devoted to him has been created in facebook. Posters and campaigns everywere all over Muscat Region (were I live & commute) for supporting him. Why no one is doing the same with Ahmed Al Harthy, the first formula racer? No national sponsors willing to support him.

Best wishes to other Omanis who don't get recognitions from their own people.

Gain Thawab

Umrah or Ummrah is a minor pilgrimage performed by the Muslims who follow Islam as religion. Muslim may perform it unlimitedly and anytime.

I personally know people go to perform it every year, it’s their choice, they may want to gain more Thawab (Reward for good deeds) and pray to Allah (God) to wipe out their Ithims (sins).

I believe if one already performed Umrah, and wants to perform again, he can gain more Thawab by sponsoring the below categories to go to Umrah:

• An elderly person, who can not afford,
• An orphanage (allot who were not adopted),
• Poor individual/ family,

or

• sponsoring someone to perform Haj.

Think about it, you may gain double or triple or countless Thawab (only God knows how much he will reward you) as if you had performed Umrah. But that is all depends on your true intention, and no one knows it except you and God in addition to the Mala’ikah (Angles) on your left or right who write your deeds, if your intention was good, the right Angle will write it as good deed, and vice verse.
