'The Courage to be Disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi….Translated into Arabic

The Arab Culture Center has recently released an Arabic translation of "The Courage to be Disliked," a book by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga.

The book, translated by Mustapha Al Waruajily, revolves around human development, and how a person should act in his life, regardless of what people think of him.

To achieve success, a human being needs courage.

"Under a provocative title that contradicts with everything we have learned since our childhood, this valuable, easy-to-understand, deep book explains how we can unleash the power we have inside to become the person of our dreams, with no regard to others' opinion or admiration," the publisher writes in the introduction.

"Based on Alfred Adler's theories and philosophy on courage, the two authors created an exciting dialogue between a young man and a philosopher, during which the latter explains to his student how each one of us can decide the path of his life, without being hindered by past experiences, and others' expectations," the publisher added.

"It's a thinking method that liberates us from the depths, allows us to have the courage of change, and to ignore the restricting boundaries we and the people surrounding us create."

Alia Palace in Makkah: A Historic Witness to a Lost City from 1,300 Years Ago

Standing tall southeast of Rabigh governorate in Makkah Region and a few kilometers from Miqat Al-Juhfah, the historic Alia Palace is a testament to one of the ancient Hajj pilgrimage and trade routes that connected Makkah to Madinah.

Perched on the left bank of the Wadi Al-Ghaidah, Alia Palace resembles the remnants of a crumbling fortress dating back to the Abbasid era. It forms part of a long-lost city, with only the foundations of basalt stone structures remaining, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.

The archaeological features of Alia Palace and its surrounding historic sites underscore the significance of the ancient city of Al-Juhfah, known anciently as Mahya'ah, which faded into obscurity during the early Abbasid period.

Constructed with exquisite Abbasid architectural style, the palace was built using black basalt stone sourced from the nearby mountains. The site also contains fragments of green-glazed pottery, which provide insights into the historical period of the palace through shards of various vessels.
