Did u ever asked urself how lucky u are to have such things ???

Kerman province is it the second largest province in

Iran

This village is it still here since 12 thousand years ...

I DON'T SALE

2011-01-11T09:48:00.004+03:00

To clarify a very important thing, I say important, because daily I receive dozens of emails with the same topic, so I have decided to make the announcement public to the sight of all.
Many sisters have written that they have seen some pictures on my blog site with different GARMENTS and they would like to purchase it. Up to here, there is nothing wrong, but the fact that I’m asked dozens of times if i send products to in their country of origin, how much do costs them and if I have the size such and such, and many other issues .... that’s becomes so funny!

I REPEAT:
WHAT U SEE ON THE BLOG IS IT NOT MY WORK, NOT EITHER MY CREATIONS, I’M NOT EVEN SALE PROMOTING AGENT!

IN SHORT I DO NOT SALE SUCH THINGS ....

This blog is only created with the purpose in providing more informations regarding arab world .

Please be attentive to the small provided information posted at the bottom of each post ( if that applies ) , because there u will find what u are interested.
All nedded details u will find in the post, if contact numbers or addresses are in the posts that interest u, then means that u can purchase directly the goods where I u send u ( website ) and if there is no contact information, it means I did not have found the source and unfortunately can not help in this
regard.
Honestly, I would have liked to have had an online store, but who knows if time allows me, will probably be a good idea to put into account J
My dears thank u for visiting and I wish u well!
See u next visit ....

Jawaher swarovski elements

2010-11-02T18:52:00.001+03:00

Salam and hello to my dear readers,

I know u have been waiting to come up with a new post or at least to say something, but time was my “enemy” .

I was caught up on work and beside my mood was not very well those days. But don’t worry my dear reader, I won’t forget about u , coz without u and without ur support, today my blog wasn’t so excited and the challenge to continue wasn’t that eager as it is today thanks to u !

I wish to apologize to all persons they wrote me personal and till now they got no reply from me. I will shawy shawy ( slowly ) take all the emails I had received and find a time for each email u sent to get an reply inshallah.

Having all said, I wanna introduce u today the “glitter world” - Jawaher (means jewel)

Launched in Dubai in May 2010, Jawaher is a glammed up range of crystal-peppered modern traditional clothes worn on occasions of festivity.

Jawaher is a new initiative from SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, which celebrates the elegance and glamour of Arabian women today.

As a trendsetter, we’re hoping you may be able to share this collection with your readers! Our goal is to drive everyone to Facebook where they can learn more and connect with one another.

Jawaher highlights the fashion connoisseur in the Middle East with pieces that have been created by world-renowned designers using crystal as a creative material to show a light fuelled allure. The designers, including Allessanra Rich, Sohad Acouri, Zaid Anton and more, have all sought out to create items to reflect the kind of glamorous lifestyle we all aspire to have, while still keeping with Middle Eastern tradition.

From October 20 to November 1, the Jawaher collection will be on public display in London at the SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED™ , so hurry up my dears and share with us the experience !

The art of engraving and painting on glass

2010-10-23T21:38:00.000+04:00

Maybe u have noticed some arabs loves to have a paint on their windows of the villas. Is it also my case…yep’ in our house our glasses are stained at the groundfloor.

In one morning, i remember while we were staying at the salon having our coffees, one bird ( I guess the humming bird ) has knocking with her beak at the window beliving that the window glass is actually a flower J yes…so funny bcoz of the stained window, so colorful that made the bird confusing …

Then I checked in the atlas about this bird and I found it under the name of “ Humming bird “

Coming back to the subject choosing a stained glass in an option that represent the human personality and the building.

The Palace of the Orient

2010-10-10T09:54:00.002+04:00

The incredible luxury hotel in Jeddah, S3audi Arabia which is one of my favorite hotels “Qasr al Sharq”

I say one of my favorite coz I guess is it not only my style, but meets all the conditions and raise the standards even of the picky arabs.

It’s charming, the thing I have noticed it’s the pure gold used to decorate the lobby… is it impossible to enter and the lobby ceilings not to take ur attention ! The hole work it’s about 60 kg gold plated, imagine !

The Arabic Islamic design character in the lobby section , does not reflect the lobby of a hotel, but the lobby of the luxurious royal place during the entrance.

The decorations are from Waldrof Astoria World collections and the sheets and dishes are Versace signature.

Gift ideas for bride on henna party

2010-09-19T10:53:00.001+04:00

Salam my dears,

I’m sorry I do not check so often my personal email, I know some of u were waiting for my reply , I appologise if I do not answer in time at ur concerns..

One of the many emails I got it has took my attention, is it from our sister “ Umm Kadhim” where she is asking to give her some ideas gifts for a bride coz she will be going next week to a party henna.

Here is some ideas for u and for other persons who wish to give a present but they r out of ideas….

Most common is gold coz it’s valuable and wonderful, perfumes,body care, but u can go for a branded watch,luxury bed mattress , deluxe kit robes, house decorations,electric devices for home, nightwear sets beside some books for marriage,Qur’an and don’t forget that the most important thing is the way ur gift will be packed .

That is half the beauty of gift ! Add some roses and card together with ur gift to increase the beauty .

If u can afford to book to the bride and groom a room or a suite in a luxury hotel for a night or two nights marriage and they will always remember ur gift !

While I was surfing on some forum, I have found those beautiful dresses that I would definitely have on my 3id occasion.

Love so much chiffon and rainbow colors… they match so good with any of ur accessories no matter what color is it !

I love to play with colors and I found those dresses suitable to dress it even on a day time.

Never be afraid of colors, combine them as u like, dress as u feel good, feel the vibration of the colors....

Laylatul Qadr is closed

2010-08-30T22:31:00.002+04:00

Salam 3alikom my dear sisters and readers,

how u doing, how is it going on with ur fasting ? Hope by the grace of Allah all of u have a blessed Ramadhan filled with 5ayr and baraka .. Hope this month u got more closer to Allah and that all ur deeds r most of the righteous deeds from along the whole year inshalla …

Sob7anallah, this Ramadhan is it almost over , more than a week … and we will be completed inshallah .

Starting from now on, we have to seek for “Laylatul Qadr” it has a special merits . Don’t forget my dears to serch for it on 21^st, 23^rd, 25^th, 27^th or 29^th must be in one of those days , nobody knows but Allah.

Is it sunnah to say this du3a :

"Allahumma innaka
3afuwwun tuhibbul 3afwa
fa fu 3annee -

O Allah! YOU r forgiving,
and YOU love forgiveness.
So forgive me."

Remember, ask for whatever u wish, but don’t forget to ask for forgiveness, because the last place we all want to end up is in Hell…

Just incase u r not sure what to ask for:

· Forgiveness for urself, ur family, ur loved ones and the ummah ( muslim nation )

· Guidance to the straight path

· Purification of mind, body and soul

· Knowledge of the religion

· Wisdom

· The best of the world and the next

· A righteous spouse

· Paradise

· Etc etc

Dont ask for things like long life, more money, etc because all of this has already been apportioned for u and it cannot be changed.

Before i finish my post i wanna dedicate this beautiful emaraati Ramadhan song edition for all my readers ( it's from last year, sorry i don;t have the new 2010 ..)

Enjoy it !.

Ramadhan nights in Iran

QOM - IRAN

To muslim husbands ...

2010-08-21T21:58:00.001+04:00

A good chance in this Holly month for some husbands to strengthen character and their relationships with their wives ;)

TIPS HOW TO KEEP UR WIFE'S LOVE

1. Make her feel secure; (sakina- tranquillity) QUIT BEING AGGRESSIVE

2. When you go home say 'Assalamu 3leikom. ' It kicks the sheytaan out of ur home!

3. Rasool (saw) described the wife as a fragile vessel and said to take care of this vessel that’s fragile. Remember that there is goodness in this vessel so treat it gently.

4. When u advise her, do so in privacy, in a peaceful environment. NOT IN PUBLIC as it’s a type of slandering.

5. Be generous to ur wife- it keeps her LOVED

6. Move and let her have ur seat. It will warm her heart.

7. AVIOD ANGER. HOW? Keep ur wudhu at all times. Rasool (saw) said if u are angry, sit down, if u’re sitting, then lie down. Follow the sunnah!

8. Look good and smell great for ur wife. IT keeps the LOVE!

9. Don’t be rigid. It will break u. Prophet Mohammed (saw) said 'I am the best amongst u and I am the best to my wife'. Being rigid and harsh will not bring u close to Allah and neither does it make u more of a man.

10. Listen to ur wife -BE a GOOD LISTENER

11. YES to flattering NO to arguing. Arguing is like poison in a marriage. Al zawai said 'When Allah (swt) wants evil for people He will leave them to argue amongst themselves'.

12. Prophet (saw) said to call ur wives with the best name, any name she loves to hear. He (saw) called Aisha 'ya Aish' as an endearment.

13. Give her a pleasant surprise. I.e. if she loves watermelon, bring her one out of the blue. It will grow the love in her heart.

14. Preserve ur tongue! Rasool (saw) said the tongue will throw people in the hell fire so watch what u say and how u say it!

15. All of us have shortcoming. Accept her shortcoming and Allah (swt) will put barakah in ur marriage.

16. TELL her u appreciate her. SHOW her u appreciate her.

17. Encourage her to keep good relation with her relative, her mum and dad etc.

18. Speak with her with a topic of HER interest.

19. In front of her relative praise her. Confirm/ realize that she is wonderful, and that she is a good person in front of her family.

20. Give each other gifts. U will love each other more. Rasool (saw) said gifts increases love.

21. Get rid of the routine once in a while, surprise her with something, it will get rid of the rust and polish it!

22. Husnul zaan- We have a demand from Allah (swt) that we have to think good of people. Think good of ur spouse.

23. Ignore some of her mistakes- pretend u did not see/hear some of her small mistakes. It was a practice of Ali (RA). It’s like putting a hole in ur memory. Don’t save it in ur memory!

24. Increase the drops of patience, especially when she is pregnant or when she is on her monthly period.

25. Expect and respect her jealousy. Even Aisha (ra) used to get jealous.

26. Be humble. If ur profession is good, respect that she is looking after ur children, she is much more than u, she is the leader at home, her strength is ur strength, and her success is ur success.

27. Don't put ur friends above ur wife.

28. Help ur wife at home. Rasool (saw) used to help his wives at home and he was the best of creation. He used to sew his own clothes.

29. Help her respect ur parents, u can’t force her to love them, but she can be helped to gradually love them.

30. Show ur wife she is the ideal wife.

31. Remember ur wife in ur du3aas. It will increase the love and protect it.

32. Leave the past. It brings nothing but pain and grief. It’s not ur business. The past is for Allah (swt).

33. Don't try to show her that u are doing her a favour by doing something, like buying food for the house, because in reality man are the courier of sustenance, not the providers, as Allah is the provider. It’s also a way of being humble and thankful to Allah (swt)

34. Sheytaan is ur enemy, not ur wife. Sometime when husband and wife are talking a fight breaks out, then sheytaan is present there as a third person so he is the real enemy. It is not enough to hate the sheytaan, but u have to see him as an enemy as Allah has commanded. Sheytaan loves divorce. HE comes everyday and sits office and asks the devils what they have done, some say i have made a person steal, or i have made someone drink etc. And one devil will say i have made a man divorce his wife, and he is crowned as the one who has done the best job.

35. Take the food and put it in her mouth. Rasool (saw) taught us this. It’s a blessing. The food doesn’t just go to her stomach, but straight to her heart. It increases the love and mercy between u.

36. Protect ur wife from the evil of the sheytaan and mankind. She is like a precious pearl that needs protecting from the envy of human devils and sheytaan.

37. Show her ur smile. Smile at ur wife. IT’S A CHARITY.

38. Small problems/ challenges can become a big problem. Or if there is small thing she didn't like and u keep repeating them anyway, it will create a wall between u. Don’t ignore them as it can become big.

39. Avoid being harsh hearted and moody. Allah said of prophet (saw) 'if u were harsh hearted they (the companions) would have left u.' It confirms Rasool (saw) was not harsh hearted, so GET RID OF IT.

40. Respect her thinking. It’s strength for u. Show u like her thoughts and suggestions.

41. Help her to achieve her potential and help her to dig and find success within as her success is ur success.

42. Respect the intimate relationship and its boundaries. Prophet (saw) said she is like a fragile vessel and she needs to be treated tenderly. Sometime she may not be feeling well; u must respect and appreciate that feeling.

43. Help her to take care of the children. Some men think it makes them appear less of a man but in fact it makes u appear a bigger man and more respected, especially in the sight of Allah (swt).

44. Use the gifts of the tongue and sweet talk her. Tell her she looks great, be an artist. Pick and choose gifts of the tongue.

45. Sit down and eat with her and share food with her.

46. Let her know u are travelling. Don't tell her out of the blue as it’s against Islam. Tell her the date/ time of when u are coming back also.

47. Don't leave the house as soon as trouble brews.

48. The house has privacy and secrecy. Once u take this privacy and secrecy to ur friends and family u are in danger of putting a serious hole in ur marriage. This secrecy stays home. Islam is against leaving them out like a garage sale for anyone to come and pick and choose.

49. Encourage each other for ibadah, i.e. plan a trip for hajj or umrah together. It increases and strengthens the love when u help each other perform a good deeds together i.e, do tahajuud together,or go to a dars together etc.

50. Know her rights, not only written in paper but engraved in ur heart and engraved in your conscious.

51. Allah( swt) said 'live with ur wives in kindness.' Treat them with kindness and goodness. It means in happy times and in sadness treat her with goodness and fairness.

52. Prophet (saw) showed that at the time of intimacy. Don’t jump on ur wife like an animal!

53. When u have a dispute with ur wife don’t tell everyone. It’s like leaving ur wounds open to germs so be careful who u share ur problems and disputes with.

54. Show ur wife u really care for her health. Good health of ur wife is ur good health. To care for her health shows her that u love her.

55. Don’t think u are always right. No matter how good u are u have shortcomings. U are not perfect as the only one who was perfect in character was Rasool (saw) Get rid of this disease.

56. Share ur problems, ur happiness, and ur sadness with her.

57. Have mercy on her weakness. Have mercy when she is weak or strong as she is the fragile vessel. Prophet (saw) said that ur wife is a trust in ur hand.

58. Remember u are her strength, someone to lean on in times of hardship.

59. Accept her as she is. Rasool (saw) said that women are created from the rib which is bent. If u try to straighten her u will break her (divorce). He (saw) also said that u may dislike one habit in her but u will like another manner in her so accept her as she is.

60. Have good intention for ur wife all the time, Allah ( swt) monitors ur intention and ur heart at all times. Allah (s.w.t) said Among His Signs is that He created for u wives from among urselves, that u may find repose in them, and He has put between u affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

Al majlis

2010-07-04T10:43:00.000+04:00

The “majlis” – guest salon entertainment, is it that part of the house where males gather together and the other family members being away from the sight of the guests, in other words the male guests are impossible to see the family of the house ( so will not invaded woman privacy regarding hijab rulings )

“Majaalis” are the main head of a household, just as the “dinning room” is it in western societies and for this reason most of the owners pay much attention to it. It is “the heart” of the house where guests are welcomed in the house and should be given a highly attention to it when it’s all about expanses.

There are several kind of usages of the “majlaalis” as for : “majlis” for men " majlis ar riyal ", “majlis” for women named “saala” ( or majlis an nisaa), “majlis” for the family members and “majlis” for the guests. Note that “majaalis” are used also for special events, like Eid, parties…etc

DID U KNOW?

Blondes with lighter skin tones tend to have a dryer epidermis where brunettes with darker skin tones tend to have an oilier epidermis. Fragrances last longer on oily skin (brunettes )

Keep bottles tightly stopped, away from direct heat and out of sunlight. U will certainly know when they have gone off as u'll notice that u do not get that lovely boost of heavenly scent when u spray or dab and the fragrance will look darker in the bottle. Some perfumes come in blue or opaque bottles and these store perfume well.

THINGS I DO WITH MY PERFUMES …..

U MIGHT TRY IT !

TIPS :

Put a few drops of perfume onto an oil burner to scent ur bedroom regularly ( as we arabs do with our bokhoor J )

U can put a few drops of ur favorite perfume in ur bath. I used to sprinkle few drops of my Arabic perfume oil which will enhance the smell of ur shower gel.

Add a few drops of perfume in the rinse water when washing ur lingerie, as o always do … Ur garments will smell adorable when dry.

Spray ur favorite fragrance on artificial flowers. I rarely do this, but when I remember why not ?

Spray some of ur favorite fragrance on a cotton ball and place it under his/her pillow for a romantic surprise ;)

Lightly spray a piece terry cloth with ur favorite perfume and toss it in the dryer with ur sheets or towels. U’ll have a pleasant scented experience.

Spray stationary or greeting cards with some perfume or cologne – urs or the recipient’s favorite. Place them in a plastic bag, seal it and leave overnight. Send ur letters or cards with a scented touch.

My favorite thing, to spray a little bit of a perfume on a tissue paper and place it in ur bag. Ur bag and the things inside it will smell lovely.

Ur hair should always look and smell nice, right? Spray from distance a little bit of ur strongest perfume and u’ll notice the difference !
