Viettel Headquarters, designed by Gensler in 2020, is Located in Hanoi’s new commercial center, Viettel’s one-of-a-kind HQ is Gensler’s first headquarters office building designed and completed in Vietnam. As the hub of Vietnam’s largest telecommunications company, this unique structure stands out from a uniform cityscape. This includes an 800-seat auditorium, which serves to provide a functional event space on the premises itself. The building is designed from the inside out. Floor plates customized to an ideal depth with a series of skylights bring natural light to all working areas and reduce the need for artificial lighting. The facility also utilizes natural barriers to combat Hanoi’s tropical climate and fosters an ecological habitat within the city. Despite an abundance of natural light, horizontal louvers are installed to screen the interior from solar glare and effectively reduce solar heat gain, resulting in a smaller heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) load. The aesthetically pleasing landscape design incorporated with native plants forms the iconic green roof, which also similarly reduces heat gain throughout the day. Users can also enjoy the break-out space at the landscaped terraced roof gardens on either side of the sloping roof. Other green features include a rainwater harvesting system.

Prayers from Singapore: Today is the first day of Ramadan, the Muslim month of prayer and fasting, the holiest time of the year for all Muslims. The traffic gets intense every evening at 7pm when fasting ends and people come for feasting and viewing the Hari Raya lighting in Geylang Serai. It’s a time of spiritual reflection and heightened devotion and worship. Ramadan teaches sacrifice and empathy for those who are less fortunate and encourages acts of generosity and charity.

Prishtina is decorated in honor of the month of Ramadan!

Also this year, in honor of the month of Ramadan, a part of the city of Pristina will be decorated.

This initiative was realized for the first time last year, where present at the lighting of the lights were the president of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, Mufti Naim ef. Tërnava and the mayor of Pristina Përparim Rama.

They agreed that in the following years this initiative will be expanded to other parts of Pristina, creating a pleasant environment for believers and tourists.

Less than a day after arriving back to Istanbul from his official visit to Indonesia, Ambassador Isiaka Abdulqadir Imam, the #D8SG, attended the World Halal Summit & Expo in Istanbul this Saturday (25-Nov).

The #D8 SecGen delivered remarks at the Summit, highlighting the vast potential of the halal industry that can and must be tapped by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and #D8. He suggested the two organizations to take the driving seat in developing global halal industry and make ‘halal’ as a global brand.

The Halal Summit & Expo are organized by the The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye.

The #D8 and SMIIC have a cooperation MoU, which also covers development of halal industry.

Why does the lighting only strike the crescent of the Clock Tower?

The lightning only strikes the crescent moon on top of the clock tower because the Makkah clock contains 20 automatically extending lightning conductors, and 800 fixed rods to protect the watch and lights from lightning.

France’s Football Federation has told referees that pausing matches for Muslim players to break their fast during the month of Ramadan will not be allowed.

The French Football Federation reportedly sent an email to referees, stating that the practice does not comply with the Federation’s statutes.

Eric Borghini, Head of the Federal Referee Commission at the Federation said they had learned that “a certain number of amateur-level meetings have been stopped to allow players observing the fast to hydrate”.

“This is not permitted in the regulations,” he said, highlighting they included the strict respect of the principle of secularism in football.

English football has taken a different approach, and will permit matches of the Premier League to pause during the holy month of Ramadan.

Its #InternationalWomensDay

To highlight International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting our very first Reach Women’s Only Deployment which will be supporting vulnerable Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese women in Lebanon.

Yesterday, our incredible volunteers packed 500 hygiene kits and 127 food parcels that will later be distributed, helping our sisters to stay nourished and maintain cleanliness.

We even added special reusable sanitary towels that will last women up to 3 years.

We cannot wait to share more updates with you soon
