Today's Friday khutbah about fathers really hit me hard.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله

TLDR: Felt too emotional about today khutbah about fathers

Last Friday someone posted here about the khutbah on mothers. Even though I can fairly understand Arabic, I barely actively listen to it. But when I read that last post about the Friday kutbah, I found out the link for IACAD.

Today's khutbah was about fathers and it truly hit me hard (perhaps even more than last week's). Personally, I do call my mom almost every day and talk with her for at least a few minuts. Nothing special, just the usual "how are you, did you have your food" and all. But I barely video call or even voice call my father. Usually the talk is tied to money matters like loan repayments or home rennovations, and it's never a direct call, just through voice messages.

Every verse of today's khutbah felt too personal for me (and perhaps for most people) because in general, we tend to seem so open and free to talk to our mothers, contrary to our fathers

Ironically, I am also a father now to a two-year-old, and I cannot even imagine if my kid stopped talking to me. I mean not out of anger, but just out of discomfort. Every time I video call my wife, I get immediately charged up seing my boy talking, and God knows how I will feel if he stops speaking to me. I feel it must be the bery same for my father right..!???

Of course there are abusive parents out there, but in general we should respect them and call them. I actually called my father today and it was very awkward really, because we were not used to it. But I am sure he will be happy inside, just as I am now.

On a sidenote, the khutbas here in the UAE are so relevant, contemporary, and effective compared to where I come from, where they just read decades-old khutbahs.

Hi, I am planning to buy my first car in the UAE, and I have already spent three months researching and analyzing listings.

I originally planned to buy a very reliable car with a budget of 40-50k, but my bank outright refused to provide a loan for a used car (I don't know the exact reason, as my salary is around 10k). However, I have managed to arrange a cash budget of 25k AED.

After doing some research, I have narrowed down my choices to the following cars in order of preference (I have test-driven all of them):

  1. Camry
  2. Yaris
  3. Corolla
  4. Sunny

After searching for these specific cars, I am feeling overwhelmed and confused. I am seeing the same models with same mileage and same regional specs listed for vastly contrasting prices.

My question is: what kind of mileage can I realistically expect for the cars listed above, and which model years should I be targeting for each of them at my specific price point of 25k AED?

My top priorities are reliability, fuel efficiency, better AC, and cheap maintenance.

I would also prefer a car that has cruise control and may be parking assistance.

If you have any other recommendations at this given price point, please feel free to share them!
