قطعة النحل 🐝

1) The Holy Quran tells us that insects form communities Surat al-
An'am, 38) and that they can communicate more than 1,400 years
afterwards, has accepted that this information is indeed correct.
Now, scientists in the United Kingdom are learning that some of
these amazing creatures may also have feelings and emotions
similar to those of humans.



(2) At Newcastle University, they are trying to discover how some
insects feel. In recent years, honeybee numbers have been declining
worldwide at a disturbing rate. Many explanations have been given
for this. Some say the bees are dying because of disease and
pesticides. Others say it may be due to pollution or microwave
towers. At any rate, this is a very serious situation, for humans as
well as for the bees. At least one-third of the world's crops depend
on bees. Farmers are worried. What about the bees? How do they
feel? Are they scared, sad or depressed?



(3) The researchers trained a group of bees to tell the difference
between two smells. After one smell, they were always given a
sweet sugar reward. After the other smell, they were given a bitter
substance. They quickly learned to choose the smell with the sweet
prize and to stick out their tongues to get it. The scientists wanted
to see what the bees would do if they were put in a stressful
situation. They shook up half of the bees, to make them think they
were in danger. These stressed bees refused to put out their
tongues for new smells, and only chose the old smell which they
knew would be followed by a sweet treat. Even though there was
an equal chance that a strange smell would taste good, it seemed
they believed it would taste bad and were afraid to try it. These
bees had become “pessimists". The other half-the unstressed bees
were much more likely to try tastes from new smells, thus
remaining “optimists”.



(4) When humans are stressed, anxious, worried or depressed, they
have lower levels of the brain hormone serotonin. So did the
stressed bees. This may mean that the feelings of anxious and
stressed bees are similar to those of humans with mood disorders.
This knowledge, along with further investigations into bee behavior
and "feelings" can hopefully be used to understand and remedy
their declining numbers, for their sake and for ours

قطعة مدائن صالح 🏜️


1) In 2008, Mada'inSaleh was made a UNESCO World Heritage site. This
means that it has become recognized as a place of historical and cultural
importance in the world. It is the only one of Saudi Arabia's 4,000
archeological sites to be honored in this way.




2) Mada'inSaleh is located about 400 kilometers north-west of Medina. Its
early history is well known by all Muslims. The Holy Quran tells us how its
people were punished by Allah. The site had been settled by the tribe of
Thamud. When prophet Saleh – Peace be upon him – warned them to stop
their bad practices and to obey Allah. They refused to listen to him. They
killed a sacred camel that was sent to them. Finally. He – peace be upon
him- told the Thamud that if they did not change their ways and repent in
three days. They would be destroyed. They disbelieved and paid no
attention to his words. So he – peace be upon him – and the true believers
left the city. The rest were all killed by terrible lightning and an
earthquake.




3) The buildings and monuments that we can see today at Mada'inSaleh are
from a later time and are remnants of the great Nabatean Kingdom. Other
famous buildings of this civilization are found in northern Syria and in
Petra in Jordan. Which was the Nabatean capital. The Nabateans also developed a system of agriculture by digging wells and storing water
underground. At Mada'inSaleh. There are wonderful examples of their
rock- cut tombs. The facades decorated with elaborately carved designs.
The dry desert climate has helped to preserve the buildings and keep them
in excellent condition.

قطعة العود

1) Oud, a fragrance well known and treasured throughout the Middle East,
has been associated with Saudi Arabian culture since the days of the
Prophet (peace be upon him). Burning Oud chips and passing the Oud
burner around has been used as a means of greeting guests as well as
signaling the end of an evening visit. Additionally, traditional medicinal
treatment of health problems. However, Clinical medicine considers
excessive use of Oud to be harmful.



(2) Oud is produced from the family of large evergreen trees called
Aquilaria or Gyrinops. Native to many Asian countries. While there are 15
species of trees in this family. Oud is made from only four or five of the
species. The resin that produces the aromatic fragrance is the result of an
infection from a fungus in the tree. When aquilaria trees are exposed to a
common environmental fungus the reaction produces resin chips on the
bark of the tree. The chips are harvested by peeling them from the bark and
can be used and burned or distilled to create perfumes. Infection in the
trees by the fungus occurs in only about seven percent of the trees which
increases the rarity and value of the fragrance producing chips.



3) Processing Oud through distillation produces extracts used in perfumes.
As part of the distillation process, Oud chips are heated in water. As the
water evaporates and forces vapor into coiled pipes the remaining liquid
separated from the water Is the Oud oil. From this liquid. Perfumes are
created that can then be applied directly to the body or hair. Biproducts
from the distillation can then be mixed and used to form weaker versions
of the scent in compressed incense mixed with other fragrances.



4) Oud has a unique fragrance that is highly valued among perfume makers
. Fragrances often combined with Oud are jasmine, rose, and sandalwood to
enhance the fragrances in use for men and women. Today's international
perfume makers are embracing the scent of Oud, Annani , Kilian, and Tom
Ford are three well known international brands that include Oud in their
perfume bases. In addition. Many well-known international brands have
begun including Oud in their signature scents . Today Oud is expanding its
fragrances signature beyond the Middle East and becoming a favorite to
many people around the globe

قطعة نظام آنا الغذائي

1)Most of us love some foods and hate others. But what if there is someone
who only eats one kind of food and doesn't eat anything else? Is that even
possible? The answer is yes. 20-year-old Anna Smith from Cornwall in
Southwest England, did just that.



(2)Anna ate potato chips every day since she was five years old. When she
was a little girl, she didn't want to eat anything. In the end, she started to
eat potato chips, but wouldn't eat anything else. With Anna's diet of only
potato chips, however, her body became weak. Actually, she was so ill that
she couldn't work and lost her job in the local factory. It was then that she
decided to do something.



(3)A friend told Anna to look for help online. Anna went online and
searched for someone to help her. She found man who helped people like
her. After her first visit to this man's clinic, she was able to eat a mango,
which is now her favorite fruit. Next time, she was able to eat pizza, then
some vegetables, and so on.



(4)Now, one year later, Anna still eat potato chips every day but also many
other foods. She feels a lot better, and she has found a new job. Also, if a
friend invites her to dinner in a restaurant or at her place, she no longer
has to say. "Could I just have some potato chips, please."?
