Condolence Statement on the Passing of His Holiness Pope Francis In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful Your Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State Greetings and respect, We received with profound sorrow the news of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, the Supreme Pontiff of the Vatican, who held a lofty spiritual status among many of the world’s peoples and was deeply respected by all for his distinguished role in promoting peace and tolerance, and for showing unwavering solidarity with those who are oppressed and marginalized across the globe. The historic meeting between His Holiness and the Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf al-Ashraf marked a milestone of great significance. It affirmed the shared commitment of both leaders to the foundational role of faith in God Almighty and His divine messages, and to the noble ethical values essential for overcoming the profound challenges facing humanity today. It also emphasized the urgent need for collective efforts to foster a culture of peaceful coexistence, to reject violence and hatred, and to uphold the principles of human fraternity based on mutual respect and the protection of rights among followers of all religions and philosophical paths. The Supreme Religious Authority extends its heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the followers of the Catholic Church worldwide on this painful loss, and prays that they may find patience and solace. It beseeches God the Most High and All-Merciful that He bestow upon them and upon all humanity what is befitting His vast mercy of goodness, blessings, and peace.

If the man is too busy (archery, target shooting, bowl skateboarding, driving his car, golfing, etc.), he needs to think about what would a wife need from him. He would need to make daily time to be with her and doing things with her, so she won't be sitting alone at home while he is out having fun. Maybe the man and wife could go on a walk together. Is he willing to take her shopping? Will he allow her to go to the masjid? A husband has a lot of responsibilities but sharing your life with your wife can be a lovely thing.

Salam. You seem to have thought well about this. I wish you luck! It's always good to be careful with your money and live simply. If you don't know how to bake your own bread, you need to live close to a bread baker. Near water and a store to buy the things you need. Maybe on the edge of a desert, not inside a desert.

Brother, creating artwork like that could give you a nightmare.

Salam, Brother. How is your mother doing?

Most restaurants do not fry fish in the same vat as chicken. It would make all their pieces of chicken taste fishy and customers would complain.

Salam. Do you have a driver's license? Do you own your own car? Is it close enough to walk or ride a bicycle?
