- Ala'a AlDeen = a boy name "also one of the famous characters in Arabic tales" in Arabic = علاء الدين Ala'a= height Deen= Religion/faith so it means "highly believed in something" or "has a high faith" abou= father of/father so "abou Ala'a Aldeen" means father of Ala'a Aldeen additional info: when adding Abou(father of) before a name it doesn't always mean that he is the father of this person; in Arabic you can use "Abou+(name)" as a nickname. for example Khalid is an unmarried man but is called "abou Osama" so "abou Osama" is just his nickname.doesn't mean his son is Osama. hope it was useful~0 votedMay 27, 20112
- help for poem analyzing~ A Prayer Today, Lord, grant me The sagacity, courage, and proficiency To carry out my duties well And not to find it difficult To do all that I can To alleviate the distress Of all those who are ill And longing for a cure. I ask for Your support, Lord That my work may yield fruit And I will bring hope To the heart of the ailing. My lips speak words of comfort To soothe the weary heart In my eyes, a gentle look that speaks With compassion and empathy. Make my hands ever gentle, That with them I will assist the sick And fill my heart with love and kindness To support their every effort. Grant me fortitude and patience When sighs of suffering surround me So that, with a consoling smile I will inspire hearts to tranquillity. 1. Paraphrase the poem above.
