No Seat at the Sofa: The Fate of Poor Nations

                         Author : Rumana Reza

Mr. Dexi has been in this house for 55 years. Every corner, and every piece of this place, got its shine from the touch of his hand. And yet, he has no permission to sit on the sofa and can't dine with the family members of this house. The reason? The reason is that he is just a slave, not the master.

Just like Mr. Dexi, developing countries can't stand on equal footing with developed countries. They can join the United Nations and participate in various conferences together, but they cannot shake hands with the powerful ones. Therefore, when tiny or weak countries talk about dialogues with equity to stronger countries, it sounds like a joke that gives goosebumps!

Dear poor states, this is not the right way to act. Instead, you could bargain by saying that you will find a new master if the injustice continues, or if your master wants to have access to your territory. But don't expect the same equal treatment /respect that a rich state gives to another rich state.

 "...Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts;..." (Surah Ar-Ra'd,Verse11)   

 Translated by Marmaduke Pickthall

So, poor countries! If you have a minimum amount of self-respect and decide not to be part of the same cycle of injustice, then forget bargaining and say straight out immediately that you are leaving your old master.And if you decide not to be slaves forever, then use all your means to achieve a respected status.

The Role of Deep Learning in ADHD Diagnosis (Link in this post)

New AI analyzes brain-wave, not tests, to detect ADHD. This deep learning approach finds hidden electrical patterns doctors often miss. But will it really be successful in giving an accurate report?

My dear readers, you may wonder why, instead of sharing my writing piece here, I am sharing a new link. Definitely, there is a story behind it...

A few months ago, one of my oldest readers informed me that my blog is not showing up on  google search! It was so hard for me to believe it. Anyway, some how I've figured it out that Algorithms or deep web wall has blocked my Blog. After learning this fact, I was so disheartened, but at the same time, I was happy to know that my readers are still coming to my blog, Alhamdulillah, MashaAllah. The thing is, if Allah wants to reveal something, no one can hide it, and if Allah wants to hide something, no one can reveal it. By the way, since then, I had been thinking about a search engine that would not use algorithms in that way. Since computer science is not my educational background, it is not possible for me to create one! Then suddenly, a few days ago, I came to know about this website and decided to write there too (not the same posts as here). This website claims that it is algorithm-free, which is why I chose it as another platform for my writing. Let's see what happens...This is my profile link on Omniamus:

President Donald Trump : Symbol of Contemporary Patriotism

                      Author : Rumana Reza

After supporting Israel's aggression in Gaza, the war with Iran, and strict immigration policies etc.etc. ,a large portion of the world's population hates Trump. People can logically criticize him for his dual policy. For the safety of his country, he has the sovereign power to build a border wall between the US and Mexico. But at the same time, when Iran is determined not to give control of the Strait of Hormuz to the US, President Trump becomes angry!

There are thousands of ways you can point your finger at Mr. Trump for being irrational. But I, as an ordinary inhabitant of this earth, highly appreciate President Trump because of his strict patriotism. He is a man who does not step back from his own ethics. No matter whether it is a just or unjust war, and no matter how the rest of the world feels, he is the President of the United States of America and he only thinks of his own nation—and that is the spirit I admire in him! He might be a menace to many Muslim countries, but he is devoted to serving the people of America. Vice President JD Vance stated to Fox News that the Trump administration's top priority is to maintain cheap oil and gas for all Americans, followed by preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon (Source: Fox News / CBS News, August 14, 2026). This statement by Mr. Vance is enough to understand that while a US attack on Iran might not be justified by many, Mr. Trump still has strong logic in his pocket: his love for his country and his people!

Leaders of the Muslim world should learn from President Trump how to stay firm in fighting for the national interest and how to stay away from hypocrisy. They should also learn how to stand with a brother state just as America stands with Israel, how to stand tall on their own border issues, and how to cross borders for the sake of making their own homeland great! 

 

To the people who criticize Trump: I ask you, why are you criticizing him? "President Trump is still successfully applying the old Roman policy 'Divide and Rule' to the Muslim world to exercise American power. Muslim countries, why are you not united? It's your fault for being the harvest lands of that policy, and Trump should not be accountable for this. He is not selling his own country to anyone; he is strict on the immigrant issue and prioritizes American citizens—that is true leadership quality. Without verifying like the Trump administration does, most of you give permission to foreigners to enter your country, which could be a national security threat. So instead of condemning Trump, apply his strategies and his devotion to his country. By doing this, all your problems could be solved, InshaAllah.

Where Dreams Were Woven, Not Streamed...

                           Author : Rumana Reza

For kids in 1990s Bangladesh, evenings were filled with weaving dreams. On breezy spring and summer nights, they would lie on a Shital Pati out (a type of handcrafted mat) in the front yard under a moonlit sky thick with stars and the Milky Way. On monsoon rainy nights or chilly winter nights, they would huddle in bed by the soft, warm glow of a hurricane lantern (in villages). In six seasons, listening to fairytales and fables from their grandma was a cherished, common childhood experience.

 Those days are gone! Yesterday, after a very long time, I read a fairytale book that someone  (foreigner) shared with me—though even the concept of a book has drastically changed by now. In today's digital world, fairy tales are experienced through screens. Instead of sparking our imagination, the characters are given a fixed face. This isn't to say that '90s kids didn't have illustrated books, but there is a vast difference between listening to a spoken tale and reading one. Today, background music is engineered into the experience just to hold a toddler's attention.

Anyway,before reading  the children's storybook  The little Star Wanderer and the School of magic by Józsa Zsuzsa ,  I thought it would be just a typical nowadays fairy tale. But after reading , it hits totally different! It has very deep messages in simple, soft words—not only for toddlers, but also for readers of all ages.Besides, I find this idea interesting too -it offers Free Printable Coloring Book! In the writer's words:

 "The musical storybook offers pages that spring to life and interactive play tasks for kids, while gently holding their hand and subtly shaping their inner world to be richer and more beautiful."

The little Star Wanderer and the School of magic 

Fairy tales might be helpful sometimes for increasing self-confidence. My dear readers, what does self-confidence mean to you? To me, true self-confidence means placing my complete trust in Allah and remaining positive and hopeful about everything,including myself. And all power belongs to none but the One and Only Allah.

 The little Star Wanderer and the School of magic got me thinking about how the entire experience of "storytelling" has evolved. Growing up in 1990s Bangladesh, stories were an organic, communal experience tied to nature, weather, and elders. Today, it is a highly structured, digital consumer product.  Yet, I still appreciate the way this book connects with our shared humanity.  While modern media heavily promotes realism and Machiavellianism, this children's storybook encourages young readers to think liberally and be idealistic. This is what I like most about this book. In my view, Machiavellian tactics belong only among the ruthless individuals, rather than being applied to the general public.
