The Story of Shaddad's Paradise

Once upon a time, in the vast and extensive kingdom of Aad, there lived a powerful king named Shaddad. Blessed with unparalleled wealth and resources, Shaddad's story takes a dramatic turn as he embarks on the gigantic mission of creating his own paradise, challenging God himself and his creation.

Driven by a desire for a paradise unlike any other, Shaddad spared no expense in constructing a magnificent haven. The grand structure, adorned with precious jewels, lush gardens, and flowing streams, stood as a testament to his opulence and power. Little did he know that his paradise would become the center of a captivating tale.

As the construction neared completion, Shaddad's anticipation grew, eager to witness the fruition of his ambitious endeavor. However, fate had other plans. Before reaching the gates of his paradise on Earth, Shaddad encountered the Angel of Death, signaling the end of his journey.

Refusing to accept the inevitable, Shaddad pleaded for a reprieve, but the Angel of Death, following Allah's decree, took his soul. In a moment of sorrow and regret, Shaddad's paradise vanished into the Earth, leaving behind a powerful lesson.

The story of Shaddad's Paradise serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the transient nature of worldly pursuits and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Shahdad's demise highlights the importance of humility, obedience, and gratitude in the face of blessings.

In the end, Shaddad's paradise may have crumbled, but the lessons from his tale endure. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us strive for a balance between ambition and humility, recognizing that true success lies in virtuous deeds and a steadfast connection with Allah. because to him we will return.

For some reason, today was an Arabic poetry kind of day. 

And a SpaPort kind of day.

Here are a few poems by Nizar Qabbani and Antara Ibn Shaddad that remind me of them. 

#spaport #no seriously those first three poems #they're what I imagine Port's unsent letters to sound like #I can easily imagine Port penning the first three poems. #then throwing the paper out of frustration #yeah it's a spaport kind of day for sure #Antara Ibn Shaddad #Nizar Qabbani #my entries #about port #about toni #my hetalia content

So~ Arab!Reader has been living in my head and heart for a while now so I wanna share some Reader-isms that are closer to my own cultural experience (ignore this if it's annoying btw no hard feelings whatsoever)

-Her love language is arguing, has not met a hill she wouldn't die on. will sometimes get on the table or ask him to crouch down so they can look eye to eye as she fights tooth and nail over something she stopped caring about like 10 minutes ago but she's having too much fun. calls him "your majesty" or Sultan/Sheikh sarcastically in every argument.

-He told her to just buy candles instead of burning incense that produces so much smoke since "they do the same job anyway", she reacted like he just insulted her ancestors.

-Not a drinker but has a minor coffee/tea addiction, knows every cafe nearby by heart and has a whole set up at home, loves making him try new drinks she found online or from her childhood.

-Will take a million pictures of everything and especially him, doesn't matter what's happening, it must be recorded "for our grandbabies, habibi🥺"

-Desert camping trips!! König can start the fire while she's in charge of preparing tea and coffee. she's mostly excited about finding a dune buggy to rent for a day that's actually comfortable for his size, they ride until sunset when both of them are a sand covered giggling mess. finally they get to cuddle and star gaze, keeping each other safe from the cold desert nights.

-if they ever get married this is an inevitable conversation:

"Liebe, you said we are having a small wedding"

"Mhm"

"the guest list is 600 people minimum..?"

"...yes?"

poor guy, his saving grace is that men have a very small role in weddings here, just sit, take pictures, cut cake, then leave with your bride. no need to write vows, dance, or even kiss in front of people.

-NO PDA!! hand holding is the most they do in public and even that's scandalous sometimes. he tried to kiss her hand in a shop once and she pulled it back so fast he was pouty for like two days after the fact. He learns to appreciate this though because he can clearly tell when she's feeling possessive in public when she clings to his side, loves to tease her about it; "a hand on my lower back, schatz? how indecent of you"

-Cat-calls him as he's going out of the shower but only in Arabic, so he doesn't know how to respond to the wolf-whistles and enthusiastic yelling, the only reason he's sure it's positive is that he gets his face squished soon after, he can at least make out the stretched out word 'Habiiiibiiiiiiii~" Cue flustered mess König

-calls him her Antara, one of the most famous and celebrated warriors in Arabian history, who was also a great romantic and wrote so many poems about his beloved Abla. (Antara Ibn Shaddad, if anyone is curious)

Oh god I'm going feral I’m not even kidding ❤️‍🔥💀

The arguing thing would get soooo interesting because I think that König has an anxious/disorganized attachment style so he’d try to avoid any kind of arguments and disagreements with his woman. If König can’t tame his darling, he’ll just let her have her way so that he doesn't have to suffer from the sudden tightness in his chest.

But... If she’s doing shit like climbing on the table to stare him down, König wouldn't be able to keep a straight face. He'd soon relax into the situation and then start to tease her about her temper. Corrects his posture so that he's still taller than her, and gives her a warm, knowing smile :) His Liebling is so cute when she's angry.

And lol König would be suspicious about the incense, he’s not used to that kind of stuff at all, but he’ll be damned before he says anything. Discreetly tries to open the window sometimes but closes it immediately if darling walks into the room (no use, she already saw him and he's going to get an earful).

But omg no pda??? Very hard for König but he will respect your wishes in this. You can see it in his eyes that he’s being a bit of a sad sulking puppy about it, of course it all dissipates if you put that hand on his lower back... This will be like foreplay to him, you're a forbidden fruit until you two are behind closed doors, and if you “break the rules” while he’s playing nice then whoo. Prepare to get your guts rearranged when you get home!

Still, if König can’t kiss his bride at the wedding he’ll start a war. 600 guests is negotiable, as long as he can kiss her in front of everyone and declare her as his own.
