Ramadan Kareem :)

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته (Peace and blessings of Allah with you)

I know it's the 10th of Ramadan already, but I thought I wanted to show you two of my favourite Ramadan-celebrating songs that I their used to listen to as a child. I love their music, their words, and somehow it's just the my soul gets really happy when I listen to them.

Before, I would like to present to you Ramadan if you don't know it..
You may have seen or known that Muslims fasting for almost the whole day, from food and drink (including water.) We do fast from dawn to sunset. Daily, in the 30 days of Ramadan.
Ramadan is one of the months of the Hijri Calendar, but it's not just a special month, it's like a boot camp for Muslims, when they encouraged and in fact supported to change their bad habits in that month; rewards of good behaviour are multiplied in this month. Bad behaviour may abort the fasting, so Muslims try to avoid it, initially during their fasting, then it's easy not to do it after Iftar (fasting breaking at sunset), and we're encouraged to keep the good habits further after Ramadan, and continue to stop the bad habits whether or not we're fasting.

So, the first song is "Ramadan This Year" and its first sentence is "Ramadan this year, changed all my habits"

The second one is the intro of a TV series "Bakkar" of a Nubian child called Bakkar. I love it!

Hear Whisperings on Windows... :)

Hello readers,

I know I don't post a lot on my blog, but after all I am a Windows App Developer and a Computer Science Student and I don't usually have the writer's idea of a new blog post.

Anyway,  I would like to invite you to install "Whisperings" App that has just been published to the Windows and Windows Phone Store.

"Wait! What is Whisperings, in the first place??" you ask.

Well, Whisperings is simply a unique Music App that plays - relaxing - solo piano music from Whisperings website.

I used to listen to it a lot while studying, or at night to help me relax and fall asleep. I used to stream the music from their website itself, and I knew they had a mobile App for iOS, Mac, BlackBerry and other platforms, but they didn't have one for the Windows platform, which I am a user of (Windows and Windows Phone.) So, here it came from.. I started working on a prototype, sent them my proposal to start working for them on this project, and they welcomed that contribution, so I have resumed working on the App since June 2015 provided the necessary resources from David Nevue (the Founder) and Kenneth Roy (Developer of the other platforms' App versions.)

Finally, I have submitted it to the Windows Store Team two days ago, and got certified and published today.

At the following link, you can find the App in the Store, as well as screenshots and more detailed description and features list: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NBLGGH31VH4


Available on Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 and later.

If you didn't listen to it before, or not interested to buy it now, I would lovely encourage you to listen to the free stream from their website on this link: http://solopianoradio.com/player-free.htm :) Then, you will find that App a much more helpful and easy way to keep your overall lifestyle relaxed with this music.

I hope you'll love listening to such beautiful, peaceful, stress-reducing piano music. <3 :="" p="">
