15 years of inspiration and knowledge
This issue marks a significant milestone in the journal’s journey, which began in October 2010. Under the slogan “Your Global Magazine… in Your Arabic Language,” it has become a comprehensive knowledge reference. It continues to provide content that inspires readers and fuels their passion for science, nature, and humanity.
“Heroes in the Autumn of Life”… Stories about the will that never grows old
The cover of this issue features a humanitarian investigation that tells the stories of elderly people who have defied frailty, injuries, and incurable diseases. Despite these challenges, they continue to excel. Some have ascended international podiums, while others have broken records that had remained untouched for decades. Others have become models of resilience and determination. The investigation raises a pivotal question about the secret of the “magic formula” that grants advanced years of health and well-being.
India’s tiger returns from the brink of extinction
In a captivating wildlife story titled “India’s Tiger Sheds Its Skin,” readers follow the journey of this majestic creature back from the brink of extinction and back into the wild. This journey has been accompanied by environmental challenges and the emergence of genetic abnormalities among some tigers. Efforts by scientists and conservationists have intensified to restore balance and protect this iconic wilderness icon.

Controversy over the world’s tallest mountains
The issue takes the reader into the heart of a heated scientific debate over which peaks are the highest. In light of new measurement techniques, different criteria have emerged that may reorder mountains on the list of natural monuments. This raises questions about the accuracy of the measurements used for decades.
Our planet from Earth and space through two contrasting lenses
The issue concludes with a unique photographic project titled “Our Planet from Below and Above.” The project brings together the lenses of two photographers documenting the same scenes from two contrasting perspectives: one from Earth’s surface, the other from the International Space Station. The result is breathtaking images that reshape our view of our blue planet, inspiring awe and amazement.
