Al-Arba'een 2018

What I like about Google Maps are mainly two things: 1- I like when I’m in my home country, Iraq, is the fact that I can add new places and small towns and villages to Google maps. It is something I work on every time I go to Iraq and I wish next time I’m in Iraq I go to Babylon and add as much photos as I can to Google maps so people from around the world can know more about the great city of Babylon or even Sumer or Akad or the holy shrines around Iraq which I did last year 2018 in Kerbala-Iraq 2- When I’m in here in my house in the US and I go around, I like my ability to rate businesses and add photos, it saves time and efforts for everyone if we know what to expect from a store or grocery.

Salam Radjasitanggang,

That was the 40th day of the martyrdom of Al-Imam Al-Hussain the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (A). Muslims walk from everywhere to reach his holy shrine at that day.

No, I used to live in Iraq but now I live in the United States.

I hope all is well with you.
