Hello everyone and welcome to our differently-named publication — Alfajer.

Alfajer means The Dawn in Arabic. It is named differently because it is intended to be different to make a difference in different people’s lives.

Alfajer is a place for life philosophies, psychology pieces, self-reflections, and societal insights that hopefully will guide each one of us on our journey of self-discovery. It will help us gain a more diverse understanding of life in general, accept any change fearlessly, and prepare for life as an ever-evolving adventure. It is not all about changing from bad to good, anxious to calm, or sad to happy. No, It is more than that. Alfajer is the sentiment for the whole concept of any change, insight, or understanding, whether in your beliefs, thoughts, mindsets, or anything else.

Dawn, the rising sun always brings hope, throws light and enlightens the darkest areas of our minds. We, at Alfajer, are looking for such stories and such writers — who have seen the darkest and experienced light, who have faced struggles, learnt important lessons and are still going strong.
