Kabul is the administrative and political centre of Afghanistan, located at 1,791 metres above sea level in a long, narrow valley between the Hindu Kush Mountains and extending along the Kabul River. Kabul's main products include fruits and nuts, Afghan carpets, leather and sheepskin products, local clothing and furniture, and copies of ancient products. The 1978–2001 wars disrupted this industry and caused significant damage to the economy. All ethnic groups and nationalities live together in Kabul. Kabul's climate is mild and mountainous.

Herati kechari is made with rice, mung beans, onions, and a little masala. Kechari is like steamed rice and is cooked together with mutton. To prepare it, first we fry the onion in oil until it turns brown or even slightly black, which changes the colour of the rice and makes it beautiful. Then we mix the rice and mung beans with onions and masala and let it simmer. The meat is also placed on the steamed rice to cook with the rice. This dish is very delicious and its smell makes the head hungry.

Marriage is one of the most sacred covenants that God has ordained for humans. In this covenant, two people make a covenant to be together in good times and bad, in times of need and in times of abundance, and to build a healthy and strong family with love and faith. In some areas, it is still customary for girls and boys to get married at a young age. Although the families' intentions may be good, these types of marriages often lead to big problems. You may ask why? Because a teenager who has not yet reached intellectual maturity cannot take on the responsibility of a family. Early marriage is like a fruit that is picked before it ripens; it may look good, but its taste is bitter.

Agriculture and livestock are not only the source of our food and livelihood, but also the foundation of a nation's economic, cultural and social stability. If the land is fertile, its people are at peace; and if the land becomes dry and barren, poverty, hunger and despair cast a shadow over society. Agriculture and livestock are not just a source of bread, but a link between man, the land and God. With awareness, faith and work, young people can transform dry land into a flower garden. Every seed that is planted is a message of hope; and every sheep or cow that is raised is a sign of divine provision and blessing. The earth is a mother. If we love it, it will return a thousandfold. We must convince our young people that shovels and picks are not tools of poverty, but rather a sign of dignity and hard work.

Christians also fast, but not for a reward or for forgiveness. Christians fast to focus on prayer. Fasting in Christianity is a voluntary, heartfelt, and personal act of drawing closer to God, repenting, and strengthening the soul, which often involves abstaining from meat, dairy products, or limiting meals. Christian fasting does not have a uniform, mandatory rule. It may involve forgoing food altogether, restricting the type of food, or giving up some habits. In Christianity, fasting is not a show. It is done in secret so that only God knows. Nowhere in the Holy Injeel or the New Testament is there any recommendation for how long to fast.

We must love our personal enemies, those who have wronged us personally. We must forgive our ill-wishers in our personal relationships. But this does not mean that we approve of the sinful and cruel ways of the ungodly or that we remain silent in the face of their corruption, sins, injustices, and oppression. We must strive to spread God’s justice on earth; we must push back the darkness as light; so that our hearts may be illuminated and gladdened by listening to the Word of God. Hearing, listening, and keeping the true Word of God is what produces faith. We must hate sin, but love the sinner. We must not ignore the Word of God, but we must listen carefully, remember, and keep it. This is where God comforts us, heals us, and makes us happy when hardship and pain come to us. It is very important that we resolve the wars and quarrels between husbands and wives, between families, and between brothers and sisters with patience according to the Word of God. Let's not fan the fire like others do, to the point of spreading what happened between two people and spreading it to others.

How can we be influential and create positive change among young people? This may seem overwhelming at first, but the truth is that each of us, with every ability and in every position, has the capacity to make a difference. The truth is that in today's world and in our society, young people are under a lot of pressure. Pressures that are sometimes hidden from the eyes of others. One of the biggest problems is a feeling of confusion and aimlessness. Many young people are on a path where they do not know where they are going. They ask themselves what their purpose in life is? In a world where values ​​and criteria for success change every day, it is very difficult to find a clear and consistent path. This confusion can lead to despair and lack of motivation. Ultimately, the most important thing we can give young people is "hope". Hope for a better future, hope in their own abilities and faith that they are not alone on this path.

Easter, or the Resurrection of Christ, is the most important Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion on Good Friday. This day symbolises victory over death and the beginning of a new creation. Resurrection is the main foundation of the Christian faith, and according to the Gospel, Christ rose from the dead on the third day after being buried and appeared to his disciples. After his resurrection, Jesus Christ remained on earth for 40 days and then ascended to heaven.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ has good news not only for two thousand years ago but also for today and even for our life after physical death. For us who follow Jesus Christ today, this is no longer just a hope that we want to say that maybe one day God will have mercy on us, but a truth that God has promised that if Christ rose from the dead, we will also rise and live with God forever. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most important concepts of the Christian
