ISFANDIYOR NAZAR: "NATIONAL SELF-AWARENESS" AFTER LOIK, KANOAT, BOZOR, AND GULRUKHSOR HAS BECOME TRIBAL LIMITATION

"Oiina" planned to publish an interview on May 20, the birthday of the great contemporary Tajik poet Loik Sherali, on the topic of poetry, poets, and Loik Sherali's place in modern Tajik literature, with Isfandiyor Nazar, another prominent national poet whose poetry is filled with the pain of the Tajik people. However, for various reasons, we were unable to publish this interview on Loik Sherali's birthday, who, had fate been kinder to him, would have celebrated his 82nd birthday.

Nevertheless, the creative team believes that it is never too late to remind the nation of a person who pointed the way to its essence and existence. Therefore, we publish this interview with deep apologies to the spirit of Loik Sherali and our esteemed readers.

Hajj.120
HAJJ PROBLEMS

Due to an initiative by Saudi Arabian authorities to shift Hajj preparation services online, many Muslims from Western countries lost the opportunity to perform the pilgrimage to the most sacred site in Islam.

Sajida Anwar, with bags full of appropriate clothing and fragrance-free hygiene products, was ready for her pilgrimage. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, mandatory for all Muslims who are able to perform it. The other pillars of Islam include belief in Allah and Muhammad as His Prophet, five daily prayers, and charity.

"I was mentally and physically prepared to fulfill the fifth and final pillar of Islam," said Sajida Anwar. She had physically trained for the pilgrimage to ensure she could endure the challenging journey. She also attended Hajj preparation courses and purchased everything necessary for the trip.
