I don't know who else i can ask, but i recently inherited a 1980 Volvo 240 GLE from my grandpops, cars probably done 600 thousand kilometers and it still runs absolutely fine.

Recently, my country went through a war (lebanon) and i had to leave my car for about 2-3 months. I went to check on it the other day, The car wasn't turning on so i recharged the battery and it was back up and running.

Now the big issue, when i tried to drive off, as i was reversing, i tried to apply the brakes but even though i pressed as far as i could, there was nothing, so i instantly put it back in first gear and dumped the clutch to roll back up, now my break pads and rotors are fine, I had them checked not even two months before the war.

Upon further inspection i realized my brake fluid was empty, nada, nothing, I dont know if it can cause this but it was the only variable so its what i theorized, the issue is that its not leaking oil, so wtf happened to my brake fluid, and am i safe to go by readding break fluid?

Help translating Latmiyah

Hello , i am lebanese , and although i dont struggle usually to understand iraqi, some of the words used in this one evade me, i cant get their actual meaning, and i dont think the translation he gives is actually accurate.

First sentence literally he says roub3i, i know what kel khalaya al dam means, but what is implied by rub3i here, his heart, his companions during Karbala?

then he talks about feats and stances i understand and it continues to be fine until at 1:08 he uses roub3ak again but its abbas that says it to presumably Hussain, but what does roub3ak mean here? heart again? someone close to him?

then at 1:18 they mention mou nahes tab3a? in lebanon that means the one who is the lucky one by nature... am i confused? is that what it means?

at 2:54 i dont understand a thing, haki asoulef bel rabi3. this i dont get, i understand then saro lazaynab dere3, they became zaynabs shield but then sheikh al ansar al sabi3 who is he talking about.. Abbas still? and what does it mean, then he mentions the name Habib, excuse my ignorance but which companion is this habib? and then he says boukht shayba 3adiya, idk what this is supposed to mean, i know it is praise but no idea what, then its inferred he was martyred in karbala.

Afterwards at 4:00 we talk about an old man, everything is pretty clear but again i don't know who he is referring to,

5:51 what is alkhidar,, translation says the daughters of the prophet but what is that word even

6:00 idk who aamer and naafe3 are, would be nice to know

Afterwards it is not arabic anymore cause wtf is dhola dalali alyedek at 6:50

8:40 is this someone in particular or just in general? the traitor?

9:20 who are turkei ta3i and hathrami?

Sorry to post this here, if i could google this i would but i geniuenly cannot find anything online. At the end of the day i understand it is a latmiya that mentions some companions of Ali and Hussain that are worthy of praise
