Our Arabic word of the week is often described as a powerful and all-consuming feeling.

It is a noun that translates to passion, and can even refer to an obsessive interest or admiration.

Shaghaf refers to a feeling of intense longing or desire that cannot be resisted toward a person, object or concept.

It is derived from the verb shagheefa, which is the act of being in love with someone or something and actively expressing that affection.

Nearly two years after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, Celine Dion made her comeback with a memorable performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympics.

Despite her illness, the Canadian singer was in fine form with a life-affirming rendition of Edith Piaf’s famous song, Hymne A L’Amour (Hymn to Love).

She moved the audience to tears with a song whose message of resilience echoed her own journey since being diagnosed with the condition.

Dion’s performance was one of many high points in an epic four-hour ceremony. Read more through the link in our bio.

Palestine archaeological site Tell Umm Amer has been added to the Unesco World Heritage List.

The announcement was made as part of the ongoing session of the organisation’s World Heritage Committee in New Delhi.

In addition to the international recognition of its historical significance, being part of the World Heritage List provides the settlement access to emergency funding and technical assistance from Unesco to protect and preserve the site. Tell Umm Amer’s inclusion arrived after receiving an emergency nomination due to the ongoing Israel-Gaza war.
