Mini-Course: How To Speak Pashto - Lesson 3 "This is"

In this lesson of our Pashto mini-course, we focus on one of the most important and beginner-friendly grammar rules in Pashto: using “Da … de” to say “This is …”.

Mini-Course: Learn How to Prompt AI in Under 3 Minutes

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept reserved for tech labs and research papers, it’s a practical tool you can use every day. From writing content and analyzing data to brainstorming ideas and solving problems, AI is quietly becoming a co-worker for creators, professionals, and businesses alike. But the real power of AI doesn’t come from the tool itself; it comes from how well you know how to communicate with it. That’s where prompt engineering comes in. Prompt engineering is the skill of giving clear, intentional instructions to AI so it understands exactly what you want. Unlike traditional software, AI doesn’t work with buttons and menus alone, it works through language. The better your prompts, the more accurate, creative, and useful the output becomes.

Game: Celebrate This Holiday Season with 'Flappy Santa'

The birthday of Prophet Jesus marks a significant occasion for people around the world. While Christmas is primarily celebrated in the Christian community, it's worth noting that Islam is the only other major faith tradition that recognizes Jesus as a prophet.  As Muslims, we hold Prophet Jesus in deep reverence, though our theological understanding differs from Christian doctrine regarding his nature. We honor him as among the greatest men and prophets in history. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that Jesus was the prophet closest to him, and Mary holds the distinguished title of "Siddiqah," paralleling the honorific "Siddique" given to Abu Bakr (may God be pleased with them). In the spirit of celebration, I've created a small game - or more accurately, had it vibe coded - to mark this festive season. The game follows a concept similar to the popular "Flappy Bird," with a seasonal twist: I've replaced the bird with Santa and his ...

If you can imagine it, you can have it in a flash of moment. This is truly mesmerizing!  Let’s get a bit realistic about AI and ask a genuine question. Is AI flawless? Simply no.
