Often, we find ourselves or our friends travelling to Gilgit Baltistan for a holiday. So we're conducting this event to familiarise you with everything you should know about the region and be more aware and appreciative when you pack your bags for your next trip

Written in first-person, the multi-generational story explores what it means to be a true Palestinian, the implications of war on one’s identity, and the inevitable tragedies that come with war. Join us as we read Abulhawa's beautiful story of past, present, and future. ❤️

Mornings in Jenin is considered the first mainstream novel in English to explore life in post-1948 Palestine, making it a huge milestone for Palestinian and Arab literature. Though in many ways it could be categorized as historical fiction, Mornings in Jenin is a modern classic.

A little about our chosen book this time, Mornings in Jenin ☀️: Mornings in Jenin is one of the novels that has helped revolutionize Arab literature. Rated 4.5~ on Goodreads by almost 40,000 people, here's a comment the author left on the site:

We're back with another Book Circle 📖 As Israel forces the erasure of Palestinians from their land, Palestinian stories become increasingly important every passing day. So this time, we will be reading Susan Abulhawa's 'Mornings in Jenin'. Join us here: forms.gle/eBjb9D4njns6SS…

We've given our look a little tweak in solidarity with 🇵🇸. Over the next few weeks, the HamSukhan Community will be conducting various Palestine-themed activities. Join the conversation with us! 🍉✊

This weekend, we will be having a Library Circle on Graduate Studies/Scholarships Abroad 👩🏻‍🎓 This is the perfect time to begin prepping for the upcoming application cycle, so we're keeping this guidance session for the community 📚 Register to attend: forms.gle/5iwQkeZ8hjFzaU…

The foundation does not rely on government or donor agencies - something that Edhi believed in. For us, it is now pivotal to donate and support however we can and follow the ideals laid down by the late Abdul Sattar Edhi and Bilquis Edhi 🙌🏻

Some of the unique services offered by Edhi Foundation since years: - Free shroud & burial services of unclaimed dead bodies - Shelter for the disabled & destitute people - Orphans & abandoned children welcome - Hospitals and dispensaries in neglected areas

"No religion is higher than humanity" Eight years since the passing of Abdul Sattar Edhi - the philanthropist who dedicated his life to the people. His work, legacy, and ideals remain inspirational for all ✨️

Creative & Cultural Industries are often overlooked despite the potential they promise! Writing for @thenews_intl, I've evaluated the UNESCO framework for CCI & used Lahore as an example on why they contribute to spatial, economic & social advantages✨️ thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/120…

Hello hello, we're back at the library this weekend with a Book Hour led by @Zahedasghar, professor at QAU, to discuss today's surging technological revolution See you on Sunday!

Yet, despite all the suffering, Kafka was not shy of spreading hope and love. With the girl in the park and the lost doll, Kafka filled her mind with imaginary stories of her doll's travels, giving her comfort and evoking imagination while helping her get over her loss 👨‍👧

For the young lad, Milena was the love of his life, someone whom he believed understood him like no one out there. His admiration for Melina knows no bounds with him believing her to be, "a living fire such as I have never seen"

Franz Kafka, the man who barely published during his lifetime and ordered his friends to burn his manuscripts after his death, is now widely regarded as an unprecedented figure in literature. Quite a legacy for someone who wished to leave his job and keep writing all day long 🧵
