From a Muslim perspective, one teaching that has shaped my worldview is the concept of "Sabr" (patience and perseverance). Sabr teaches us to remain steadfast and patient in the face of challenges and difficulties. It reminds us to trust in Allah's plan and have faith that everything happens for a reason. This belief has helped me develop resilience and maintain a positive outlook even during tough times.

Another teaching that has influenced my worldview is the importance of "Sadaqah" (charity and giving). Islam emphasizes the significance of helping those in need and giving back to the community. This belief has instilled in me a sense of compassion and generosity, motivating me to actively seek opportunities to support others and make a positive impact in society.

These teachings, among others, have shaped my perspective on life and guide me in striving to be a better person, both in my relationship with Allah and in my interactions with others.

Title: A Day of Sensory Delights: Embracing the Rhythms of Life

As the sun peeks over the horizon, gently painting the sky with hues of gold and pink, a new day begins. The alarm clock softly chimes, rousing me from the depths of slumber. Stretching my limbs, I feel the warmth of the soft sheets against my skin, a comforting embrace that lingers even as I rise from bed.

Stepping onto the soft carpet in by bedroom that my feet sink in feeling the softness , I'm greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air and my mums home made cookies that make my tummy rumble and my mouth water and getting a warm joyful feeling first thing in the morning.The rich, earthy scent entices me, drawing me towards the kitchen. As I take that first sip, the velvety liquid dances on my taste buds, awakening my senses and preparing me for the day ahead and biting into the warm cookie with the chocolatey taste in my mouth makes me smile and brightens my mood.

With a rejuvenated spirit, I embark on my daily rituals. The morning sun casts a golden glow, illuminating the world outside my window. Birds chirp merrily, their melodies interweaving with the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. Each step I take echoes through the quiet streets, a rhythmic symphony of footfalls and distant city sounds.

As the day unfolds, I find myself immersed in a whirlwind of social interactions. Laughter fills the air as friends gather in my morning paddle game before campus , their voices blending harmoniously. The clinking of rackets and the atmosphere of competition fills the air and gets me refreshed and exited for the day ahead leaving my mum with a kiss on her cheek .(separation phase)

In the afternoon, I venture into the vibrant campus class . Where I have a luminous different phase of feeling as there are so many people in one class it’s definitely not getting the same attention as I got last year at school or at home even so it’s a different feeling of learning and exploring the outside world away from my little home town (luminous phase)

As the day gently transitions into twilight, I find solace in moments of solitude. The fading light paints the sky with strokes of orange and purple, casting a serene glow over the world. The soft caress of a gentle breeze against my skin whispers stories of far-off places, inviting contemplation and reflection.
 
After sunset we gather as a family and partake in dinner where everyone sits together and shares their experiences and moments of the day and it’s my favourite part of the day as I spend it with the people I love most(rites of passage)
As the night progresses we have a little family tea after everyone completed their work tasks and retreat and go sleep after everyone’s long days

When it comes to creating "otherness" through stereotypes and stigmatizations, examples like Wainana's "How to Write About Africa" and Miner's "Body and Ritual Among the Nacirema" really emphasise how these narratives can keep alive misapprehension and reinforce negative perceptions.

In Wainana's parody, he ironically reveals the common stereotypes and exoticization often related with Africa, presenting how these representations can clear away the problem and diversity of the continent. Similarly, Miner's satirical painting of the Nacirema culture challenges our own ethnocentrism and highlights how our own cultural practices can be misinterpreted and twisted. 

The TEDTalks by Ngozi and Bart-Williams more vastly shed light on the harms of a single story and the capacity of media in forming our insights. They remind us that when we depend on restricted narratives, we chance reducing whole or complete cultures and each person to simplistic stereotypes, which can lead to stigmatization and marginalization.
Looking and pondering on these examples, it's crucial for us to proceed towards literature and media with a reproving lens. By testing these stereotypes and searching out diverse views, we can break down the walls of "otherness" and encourage a more inclusive understanding of unalike cultures and identities.

Miner's "Body and Ritual Among the Nacirema" is another example of satire. Tests our own ethnocentrism by presenting the rituals and practices of a fictional tribe called the Nacirema. Through this mockery ,Miner prompts us to reflect on how our own cultural practices may seem weird or exotic to others, focusing the danger of judging and stigmatizing unfamiliar cultures.

By inspecting these examples, we can be more conscious of the ways in which stereotypes and stigmatizations can create "otherness" and hinder comprehension and empathy. It reminds us of the importance of critical thinking, questioning assumptions, and embracing diversity.
