The Endless Journey of Hopes: Learning to Live in the Present
Hope is the light that keeps us walking through the darkest nights. It is the quiet promise that tomorrow can be brighter, the whisper that tells us to keep moving, even when the road is long. Without hope, life would feel empty, stripped of purpose. And yet, I discovered that hope can also become a chain — beautiful, but heavy — keeping us always chasing, never resting.

The Beautiful Contradiction
M Mehran Humans are strange creatures. We build cities that scrape the sky and yet often forget the value of a single tree. We create art that transcends time and yet argue over trivialities that vanish by tomorrow. We are capable of immense love and, at times, staggering cruelty. And yet, somehow, we endure—messy, fragile, remarkable.

The surprising trend of converting to Islam around the world: Why people are choosing Islam despite Islamophobia.
Walk into a mosque in New York, Paris, or London, and you may find a surprising sight. A young woman who once followed no religion now ties a scarf around her head. A middle-aged man who grew up Christian bends his forehead to the ground in prayer. A college student from Asia, raised with no faith practice, learns Arabic words of worship with shining eyes. All around the world, Islamophobia dominates headlines, yet an opposite, quieter trend unfolds every day: thousands continue to embrace Islam.

The Evolution of Genetics: From Mendel’s Laws to the Genomic Era and Its Impact on Science and Knowledge
The Development of Genetics and Its Impact on the Future Genetics is one of the most prominent sciences that has witnessed astonishing developments over the past two centuries, contributing to changing our understanding of life and opening new horizons in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and the environment. This science is concerned with the study of genes, the basic units that carry genetic information in living organisms, how they are transmitted across generations, and their role in determining biological traits. From the discovery of the laws of heredity by the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century to the sequencing of the human genome in the early twenty-first century, this field has come a long way, making it one of the most important pillars of modern science.

No Sex, We’re Still Evolving
In the wild, every movement is a strategy for survival. For most species, reproduction is not a choice but an instinct, a genetic command Coded over millions of years. Yet here we are, humans, standing somewhere between animal instinct and conscious decision-making, trying to make sense of it all. The title “No Sex Please, We Are Animals!” sounds like a contradiction because animals are often associated with raw, natural desire. But what if this phrase is not about rejecting reproduction, but about questioning how, when, and why we engage in it?

“The Last Candle”
The power went out just as the storm reached its height. Thunder rattled the windows, lightning split the sky, and suddenly the house plunged into absolute darkness. For a long moment, there was nothing but the sound of rain lashing against the roof and wind howling through the cracks of the old wooden doors.
