Many people believe that women are better parents than men. It influences women’s greater role as parents than men’s in raising children in most societies. Yet, men have an essential role in educating and taking care of their children. However, in my opinion, women have more roles than men because of their motherhood and their intense contact with their children First of all, women have to be able to cook and take care of their children. Since they were teenager, they have learnt that their future responsibility is to be diligent mothers. Women learn how to nurture since they were young. The practice can be seen by seeing the form of playing with the dolls or babysitting younger siblings. Therefore, it is natural that they can indentify the activities as female activities. Secondly, men are aggresive which is proven by seeing the history behind World War. On the other hand, women are known for their soft heart and patience. No wonder women are more care and understanding. Lastly, women can communicate things to the children better than men. This bility is reflected by the result of intellegence tests. Communication skills are important in raising the children because they imitate how their parents communicate. To sum up, men have an undeniable essential role in bringing the children up but women are proven to have more benefits in rearing children.

3500 before century, Abraham woke up and asked his wife Hajar to get her son and prepare for a long journey. In a few days Abraham started out with his wife Hajar and their son Ishmael. The child was still nursing and not yet weaned. Abraham walked through cultivated land, desert, and mountains until he reached the desert of the Arabian Peninsula and came to an uncultivated valley having no fruit, no trees, no food, no water. The valley had no sign of life. After Abraham had helped his wife and child to dismount, he left them with a small amount of food and water which was hardly enough for 2 days. He turned around and walked away. His wife hurried after him asking: "Where are you going Abraham, leaving us in this barren valley... ." Abraham did not answer her, but continued walking. She repeated what she had said, but he remained silent. Finally she understood that he was not acting on his own initiative. She realized that Allah had commanded him to do this. She asked him: "Did Allah command you to do so... ." He replied: "Yes." Then his great wife said: "We are not going to be lost, since Allah Who has commanded you with us." Abraham invoked Almighty Allah thus: "O Our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley
with no cultivation, by Your Sacred House (the Ka'ba at Mecca); in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayers perfectly (Iqamat as salat) so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah." (Ch 14:37-38)
The Prophet continued: "Then she drank water and suckled her child. The angel said to her: "Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people." The House (Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. The Prophet continued: "After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his family that he had left before but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied: "He has gone in search of livelihood." Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she replied, "We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution,' complaining to him. He said: "When your husband returns, convey my salutations to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' "When Ishmael came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife: 'Has anyone visited you... .' she replied, 'Yes, an old man of such and such description came and asked me about you and I informed him and he asked about our state of living and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty.' On that Ishmael said: 'Did he advise you anything... .' She said: 'Yes he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.' Ishmael said: 'It was my father and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' so, Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from among them (Jurhum). "Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said: 'he has gone in sof our livelihood.' Abraham asked her; 'how are you getting on... .' asking her about their sustenance and living. she replied: 'we are prosperous and well off (we have everything in abundance).' then she thanked Allah. Abraham said: 'What kind of food do you eat... .' she said: 'meat.' he said: 'what do you drink... .' she said: 'water.' he said: 'O Allah! bless their meat and water.""
The Prophet added: "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain he would have also invoked Allah to bless it. If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected unless he lives in Mecca." The servants roasted and served a calf. Abraham invited the angels to eat and he started eating so as to encourage them. He continued, but when he glanced at his guests to assure they were eating, he noticed that none of them had touched the food. He said to them: "Are you not going to eat... ." He resumed eating, but when he glanced at them again he found that they were still not eating. Their hands did not reach out for the food. HE began to fear them. Abraham's fears increased. The angels, however were reading his inner thoughts and one of them said: "Do not fear." Abraham raised his head and replied: "Indeed I am in fear. I have asked you to eat food but you do not stretch out your hands to eat. DO you intend me evil... ." One of the angels smiled and said: "We do not eat. We are Allah's angels." One of them then turned towards his wife and conveyed the glad tidings about Isaac (Ishaaq).

Pokémon Go Pros and Cons Pokémon Go has been greatly praised but also criticized. Although Pokémon is taking the world by storm, in fact the game has received mixed reviews. This is not a classic Pokémon game, so for some of the traditional fans of the saga the game may be a disappointment. In fact the game was not developed directly by Nintendo but by the Californian software company Niantic Inc. However, it is undeniable that this game is managing to attract millions of children and adults for the first time to the Pokémon universe. In addition to the technical virtues and defects of this video game from a technical perspective, it is important to consider some of the benefits and risks associated to the Pokémon Go experience. The game is fun, easy and cheap to play. You don't need to be a hardcore player or even had played a Pokémon game ever before. The game is very intuitive to make sure that both children and adults can enjoy it, while requiring some level of strategy. You can play for free. Even if there is a chance to speed up your progress in the game through in-game micro transactions, you don't need to pay to download the game or play. It can make you healthier. Pokémon Go creates incentives for you to get-off your couch and go for a walk to hunt for Pokémon. An effect of Pokémon Go is what psychologists call behavioral activation. It encourages people do some exercise and move and help prevent obesity. Augmented reality technology, such as that used in Pokémon Go, can contribute to treat some psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Moreover the game has a clear structure and offers incremental challenges to avoid fatigue and keep up motivation.
On the other hand, you need to have the application of the game open all the time in order to get alerts of nearby Pokémon or Poké Stops. This means you will drain your battery extremely quickly or you may need to revisit places you walked past when the application was closed. Although this game gets players outdoors, they are still on their phone. Pediatricians do not recommend spending more than two hours a day looking at a screen. Some Pokémon Go players spend many more hours a day on their phones due to this game. Pokémon Go can be very distracting and even dangerous for people, this is called in psychology a "blended reality state." Walking while watching the screen of a smarphone is dangerous, much more so driving while hunting for Pokémon. There have been many accidents recorded in which people have been hurt because of
