The whispering shadows

This is regarding the story “The whispering shadows” by Pareeshay Emran (YW, June 22). The story highlighted the courage and effort of a student who uncovered the dark reality of evil people looting innocent passer-bys.

The story gave us a lesson that instead of losing courage, we should face every situation with bravery and seek guidance from elders.

The story “The whispering shadows” by Pareeshay Emran taught us to conquer fear and not allow it to dominate our minds. Fear often originates from our imagination and can be magnified by our emotions. Furthermore, at times, wicked forces exploit our vulnerabilities for their own gain. Just like in the story, the girls didn’t let their fear control them, instead they showed bravery and exposed the robbers to the police.

Spread kindness

This is regarding the article “Spread kindness” by Maham Aaqib (YW, June 22).

It was a heart-warming story! It perfectly captured the true essence of kindness, which is about being present and supportive during someone’s difficult times.

It also highlighted the ripple effect of kindness, where one person’s good deed can inspire others to do the same. Even small acts of kindness can have significant impact on someone’s life, bringing joy and happiness to both the giver and receiver.

An important life lesson

This is concerning the story “An important life lesson” by Hafsa Shaikh (YW, June 8). Eid is considered the most important festival for Muslims, but the rising inflation has confined it to mostly the rich people, who can easily afford to buy sacrificial animals.

So those who sacrifice animals must consider the poor also by sharing the sacrificial meat with them, to make their Eid special too!

Compassion for animals

This is regarding the cover article “Compassion for animals” by Shahmeer Asif (June 8, 2024). The article focussed on animals and how they should be treated.

The writer suggested that because this Eid is all about sacrificing animals, so one should treat them with compassion, which aligns with the spirit of Eidul Azha. Animal sacrifice should be done with respect and kindness towards the animal, and care for the environment.
