Syafakillah or Syafakallah Meaning
Tumblr media
"Syafakillah" and "Syafakallah" are both expressions of care and concern for someone who is sick, and they are often used in Arabic-speaking communities as a way to show support and seek Allah's blessings for the person's recovery.
Syafakillah means "May Allah heal you" for a woman, while "Syafakallah" is intended for a sick man.
The use of "Syafakumullah" when addressing more than one man reflects the importance of showing respect and consideration for others in this context.
Additionally, these expressions demonstrate the belief in the power of Allah to heal and provide comfort, which can offer comfort and solace to the person who is sick, as well as to those who are offering their well wishes.
Tumblr media
This is a commonly recited Dua (supplication) in Islam as a way of expressing gratitude and submission to Allah. It's also a reminder that health and all other blessings come from Allah and that we should turn to Him in times of need, including when someone is sick. The person reciting this Dua is seeking Allah's guidance, comfort, and healing for the person who is sick.

thoughts about DPRK
I did my third journey around the China/North Korea border recently. Things have changed quite a bit in the region. The DPRK seems to forbid its people to walk anywhere near the Chinese border in Sinuiju. Where there used to vibrant street life there is ghost town. Where there used to be dozens of fishing boats plying the Yalu River, there are moored still boats without imhbitants. It's sad.
Those who have seen my North Korea photos before may think that the people of Sinuiju don't want people photographing them like zoo animals. I have heard this type of critiicism before. As a candid photographer I do respect the perspective and I am senitive to it. I always try to make images of the things ans people I see with respect for and even, a love for individuality and humanity.
That said, I want to be clear that the reason people are no longer able to walk near the Sinuiju waterfront is because the DPRK doesm't want the Koreans looking at th, or yearning for the e glitzy life in China.
So, as a result of this rather dreary situation, I had to explore the countryside and farm life of North Korea. I did okay and came back with some interesting images to work with.
Unfortunately,I am a little strict about this blog being an urban blog. So, I will be posting over time here, some photographs of the North Korean architectural and industrial landsacpe, which are mostly devoid of people sadly. In my opinion they still have some value as a view of this post-covid repressive moment in the hermit kingdom. I will probably also post some older images I had made in previous years.
As far as farm and pastoral photos, I will be sharing some of these on side blog, titled "The Drunken Boat." This blog is devoted to nature photography, but is fitting for pastoral imagery as well. Perhaps, even for those farms with barbed wire around the perimeter.... we will see...
May the intolerable and China backed tyrants of the DPRK finally collapse and may the Korean people be reunited again in a free society. Freedom and Democracy for all...

♦️ Socialism in North Korea♦️
⭐ Korea's historic context⭐
- used to do business with China ( buy products)
-19th century is threatened by Japan
-1910 - Japan attach Korea ( imperialism, colonization, exploration, prohibite the language Korean and Korean names, "houses of comfort" - prostituition)
-Kim Il-sung - first leader of Korea - run away to Manchuria and takes part on Chinese Communist Party. Starts to combate Japanese imperialism
-1945 -Kim Il- sung, China and "red" army they expel the japanese army that was installed in Korea.
- 1950 - 1953 USA invade Korea and cause a genocide - throw a lot of bombs in Korea . ( kills 3 a 4 million people- the country had 8 million people , in total).
→USA was frightened because they were afraid that socialism would spread through other countries ( that would've happened). So USA divided korea and ocuppied South Korea. (They stayed there until today. Korean army is subimitted by USA army.)
-USA basically wants to restore capitalism throughout the peninsula. (They still didn't do it because of the nuclear bombs in North Korea)
-Korea resists and win ( USA do not reaches its goals)
-In the same context, Vietnam wins the war against USA and becomes socialist.( It's socialist until today)
-Parallel 38 N is restored and Korea is divided.
-Military Force: North korea invest in high and strong technologies to defend themselves ( nuclear technology ensures that korea has its origins and experiences remained.)
-1948 -Korea turns into a socialist country
_________________________________
❌Fake News or not?✅
- Explanations and comparisons.
- "Leader Cult": statues
→The statues are built to honor the past leaders before Kim Jong-un ( so the string "workship"has to do with North Korean history. They see the leader role as a symbol of resistance against Japanese Imperialism and threats of USA)
→ The "Kim" family is a representation of these fight against imperialism ( in this case, it was Japan). So it carries this big importance.
→ it isn't exclusively from socialism. In capitalism we have a lot of examples of statues or doutrines. (the queen if england, for example)
→ it is not an obligation to "workship the leader".
→ Kim Jong-un - it's not the maximum leader because he doesn't have all the power on his hands. ( in North Korea we have power division) - He was elected by the assembly ( he can be removed from his post anytime).
-The post that Kim Jong-un occupies, accumulates less power than Biden in USA. ( THE ASSEMBLY HAS THE SUPREME POWER).
-There isn't bourgeoisie in Korea.
So the leaders do not have much money as if they were richer. ( it's not proved that they are so much rich)
→ The assembly is elected by the population by vote (direct, universal, secret) and is composed by representants of the people.
-The majority of the assembly is elected independently ( they don't take part in any Party)
- KOREA HAS 3 PARTIES. (you can take part in one of them or not). The main idea isn't to represent the Party but your own local interests
→ Korea is not a dinasty. ( it has to do with the importance of Kim Il-sung family's name) - The successor is not compulsorily the next son of Kim's family. There's no documentation. ( to clarify, there is oposition to the Kim's family in North Korea.)
-North Korea can't buy things from exterior because of the blockades.
- FOOD INSECURITY : ✅
North Korea is forced to produce 98 % of its own food (because of the blockades). North territory only has 13% of its territory that is arable because it has a lot of mountains.) They can have a diary "calorie stability" but can't produce some foods that have certain nutrients themselves. ( like the lack of C vitamin, which is an essencial vitamin for the body). So if the population of a country has a déficit of any vital vitamin ( that its lack can cause illnesses) they stay on the map of desnutricion.
-Cars demmand a lot of technology. So how North Korea will produce cars if they can't import things?
→ This explains why Cuba's cars are so old. ( Cuba bought cars from URSS and has no industrial autonomy).
- "The govern decides who'll have a car or not" ✅ true. They have a poor production, because of the blockages. So they do like an "Urban Planning" so that the people can live near their works ( like 1 kilometer from the work).
Socialist countries like Cuba and Korea cannot produce in the same rhythm than capitalist countries.
-When a person gets out from a socialist country and go to a capitalist country,this person is considered dissident (a person who doesn't agree with the country principles).
Why do people run away from North Korea?
North Korea is in war with South. Because of South korean and North Korean laws is difficult to emigrate. ( Koreans can pass with facility at China,so many North Koreans live in China). South Korea hardly receive North Koreans.
1990- A lot of people runned away from North to South.( Before 90s, North Korea there was URSS and East block. So North Korea was even more developed than South Korea, but the situation inverts in 90s.) After the end of URSS and East block countries , North Korea loses about 40% of its trading.
So... End of partnership with URSS and East block countries + blockades = poverty, hunger, lack of fuels. So they had to come back to animal traction.
→ Many North Koreans were separated from their families in the South after the division. So many of them go to China to find people to help so they can visit their families in the South.
