Welcome back to our weekly series Arab Inspirations! ✨
As we all know, sociology is crucial for understanding the complexities of human behaviour and the structures that shape our societies 🌏
Arab contributions to sociology highlighted the importance of social cohesion, ...economics, and culture in shaping societies. Early scholars explored how communities maintain stability and how civilizations rise and fall, laying the groundwork for modern sociological thought. A key figure in advancing these ideas was Ibn Khaldūn.

⭐ Welcome back to our Weekly Arabic Proverb⭐
Today, we explore the deep value of patience in Arab culture. Patience is not just a virtue—it is a sign of strength, resilience, and dignity in the face of challenges. In Arabic, we say:
"الصبر مفتاح ...الفرج"
“Patience is the key to relief.”
Patience teaches us to endure hardships with grace, trusting that relief will come in time. It is a mark of strength, allowing us to persevere with dignity and faith 💕
