Smile :) :) :)

In addition to reading literature, critical theory, philosophy, and 70's and 80's music, I love and relish cooking with ingredients most people have never heard of. I also enjoy writing creatively. Reading foreign literature, Dubai and Italy, Italian, and Arabic coffee is my favorite writing in Arabic and English and soulful souls as a writer. During the weekends, I spend time watching the sun rise over the heavens and sipping Turkish, Arabic, or Italian coffee while listening to some exemplary music. Traveling, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures. I find joy in trying out different dishes and experimenting with a variety of flavors and ingredients. Engaging in meaningful conversations with people from different walks of life is something I enjoy. Kristina di Lodivico Simoni

Did you know ?

Many non-Muslims have come to incorrectly believe that Allah is the ‘God of Muslims’ – A deity somehow different from the God of the other faiths. It should be emphasized that the term “Allah” has no implied meaning at all of an Arabian god, a Moon god or even a Muslim god. Muslims are not claiming any exclusiveness when they say "Allah". However Allah is simply the Arabic Name of the one Almighty God; the same name by which Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians, refer to God. The Allah comes from the term ‘al-ilaah’. Al is the definite article in Arabic, equivalent to ‘the’ in English, while ilaah means ‘a deity or god’. So Allah means The God. This is beautifully articulated in the first pillar of Islam which is to believe that God is One, in Arabic it would be, "La ilaha illallah" meaning "There is no god but God"
