Big news for students!<\/p>\n

A group of MPs is making a strong case for giving all students time off during the last 10 days of Ramadan, and Parliament is on board.<\/p>\n

The push, led by Hassan Eid Bukhamas and backed by other MPs, argues that this time is deeply spiritual and should be free of schoolwork distractions.<\/p>\n

After all, these final days of Ramadan include Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, which the Quran says is \u201cbetter than a thousand months\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"Al<\/a><\/p>\n

Bukhamas explained that this is when many Muslims take part in i\u2019tikaf, a practice where they dedicate themselves completely to prayer and reflection. Even the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to spend these nights in deep worship, so it\u2019s a golden chance to strengthen faith. The idea is simple: give students the chance to focus on their spirituality without worrying about school assignments or exams.<\/p>\n

MPs also believe this would boost morale and help young people fully embrace the blessings of Ramadan<\/h3>\n

The proposal covers students in schools, colleges, and universities, meaning if approved, they\u2019d get those final ten days off to pray, reflect, and recharge spiritually. Nothing has yet been confirmed, as this new proposition has only been approved by Parliament.<\/p>\n

\"Bahrain<\/a><\/p>\n

The law-making process works like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, the government submits a draft law to Parliament, which can amend, approve, or reject it. Then, the draft goes to the Advisory Council, which also has the power to suggest changes, approve, or reject it before sending it back to Parliament.<\/p>\n

If Parliament and the Advisory Council disagree twice on a draft law, the National Council steps in. The bill will pass if the majority of members present vote in favor.<\/p>\n

Once approved, the bill is sent to the Prime Minister within two weeks, who then forwards it to the King for final approval. A law only takes effect once the King ratifies it. However, if the King does not return it for reconsideration within six months, it is automatically considered ratified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big news for students!
