[@justbecauseican1410]

I live in the Netherlands and I know a few people from Afghanistan. I feel for the women and children. There is huge poverty problem. You can tell these people are so beautiful inside out. Especially the children. We pray for their safety 🙏

Thank you

[@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick]

@@justbecauseican1410 No.. the men are awful.. those who oppress the women and those who don’t fight for them! They are NOT all beautiful inside and out.. how do you not see this with all the Izlamb terror attacks in Europe? 🧐

[@Laurent-Philatelie]

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for showing the world a much different image of Afghanistan than the one depicted in the media. The scenery is breathtaking; the food looks amazing; the people are very friendly and welcoming! THANK YOU for giving me back some hope in mankind!

What a show of kindness towards the afghan kids buy giving them pens and notebooks . That is a true lovely gesture .

[@AhmadAli-ez8db]

"Tasbih" or "tasbeeh" (تسبيح) refers to the act of glorifying or praising God in Islam through the repetition of certain phrases or prayers. It involves the recitation of specific phrases or names of Allah, often using prayer beads (misbaha or tasbih) to keep count. The phrases typically include expressions of praise, gratitude, or glorification, such as "Subhanallah" (سبحان الله, "Glory be to Allah"), "Alhamdulillah" (الحمد لله, "Praise be to Allah"), and "Allahu Akbar" (الله أكبر, "Allah is the Greatest"). This practice is considered a form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and is commonly performed after prayers or at other times during the day as a spiritual exercise.

[@Marc.Martain]

What does this matter she isn't even Arabic. God have many names.

[@Herzschreiber]

Thank you for explaining it. Me, an elder German Christian woman, knew about it because there are lots of muslims among my friends. And I wanted to explain it here because to me it felt, like she did not really get what the shop owner explained to her. Now I do not need to explain anything anymore, because I of course wouldn't been able to explain it as well as you can!

Hi Carrie, feel free to come to Mazar -e-Sharif, I am Dutch, married to an Afghan man. You can stay in my house. Afghanistan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, the people are amazing and the food is delicious.

[@West-rn-showvn-ist-chick]

@@Scorpio62626 Yes.. the women are but the men are awful and live by 10th century standards! Put yourself in an Afghan women’s shoes.. pretend your husband died and you have children but the men in the country won’t allow you to work? Plus making women cover themselves from head to toe in a desert.. that’s OPPRESSION!

[@elahico]

26:17 I donot have words to appreciate you. You are just amazing. I loved each part of your vlog. For me the best part is that you provided notebook and pen to children .A nation can only be transformec by knowledge's power, not by violence and wars.

Kandahar is a city rich in history and adorned with beautiful sites, and it holds a special place in my heart as someone who identifies with it, even from Germany. From the bottom of my heart, I extend my sincerest gratitude to you for the incredible content you create. Warm regards, [A Kandahar Girl from Germany]❤

Ive stumbled on your video during a KZbin rabbit hole sesh lol ....and I LOVE THEM! I have been watching with my children as they have some afghani children in their school so want to understand more about their culture. Its totally made me want to go. Once my children are older, it's on my list! Would welcome any advise/videos on where to go to look for guides, etc. I am also trying to speak some farsi as i believe these children in the school speak it, but i do wonder if they would understand some pashto also. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Ohhhh and a huge than k you for the captioning too and us not having to rely on KZbin subtitles! I need them, so thank you

[@carriepatsalis]

Sorry for the slow reply, I am abroad at the moment! I think that understanding more about the Afghan culture would be really really lovely for the kids in the local school. They will be more than happy to share their culture with you I am sure if you ask them. They are generally quiet people but with the biggest heart and I know that learning their language, be it Farsi or perhaps Pashto would give them great pleasure 😍
