Eid Al Adha commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim being asked by God in a dream to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of his faith. As with other religious holidays in the Emirates, it is a time for friends and family to gather, often over meals, and reflect on their lives and faith. It is customary for families who have the means to slaughter a goat or sheep and share the meat with relatives and the less privileged. Employees in the public and private sectors are to be granted leave from Thursday, June 5, to Sunday, June 8, to mark the holiday, with work resuming on Monday, June 9.

Solo Leveling Ragnarök's primary antagonist is a menace for sure
Solo Leveling Ragnarök is the sequel of the OG Solo Leveling manhwa where we get to see the son of Sung Jin Woo in action. While we can't deny that the first part is amazing, the sequel of Solo Leveling is something out of this world. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The franchise has tried to keep the story crisp and to the point with larger-than-life characters again in play. And one such element of the manhwa is the primary antagonist - The Absolute Being. Without any further ado, let's have a look at who The Absolute Being is along with his capabilities. The Absolute Being: A Villain that could scare the heck out of anyone For those who don't know, the existence of The Absolute Being dates back to the OG Solo Leveling (despite him being the main antagonist of Solo Leveling Ragnarök). He can be dubbed the creator of Rulers and the Monarchs. Rulers are the forces of order and light in the Solo Leveling universe and the Monarchs are the forces of destruction and darkness. Now, the Absolute Being was supposed to maintain the balance between the two. Nonetheless, he found the fight between the two sides to be his source of entertainment. When the rulers found out that The Absolute Being is the one behind their fight against the Monarchs then the formers killed him. And with the death of the supreme, chaos erupted and the echoes of battle were heard all over the universe. The most intriguing part here is that The Absolute Being never died, his essence was always working in the background. Some of the leaks related to the manhwa suggest that The Absolute Being could also take a human reincarnation soon and go on a war against Sung Su-Ho . Keeping all this in mind, one thing can be said the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling Ragnarök is going to break the internet for sure (like father like son).

The controversial ending of Solo Leveling explained: Fans react to jinwoo's journey
After three years of taking the world by storm with its epic action sequences and fantastic artwork, Solo Leveling concluded with 179 chapters. The series followed Sung Jinwoo , a weak Hunter who became the strongest in the world. Along the way, he faced an array of monsters and gods, ultimately confronting Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, in the final battle. While the Solo Leveling manhwa's ending was visually stunning and provided an epic showdown, many fans were left feeling conflicted. The battle between Jinwoo and Antares was one of the most anticipated moments in the series. Yet, the resolution of the fight, the time travel aspect, and some of the final choices raised questions, leaving fans divided. Here's a breakdown of the controversial moments that shaped the ending. Jinwoo vs. Antares: An epic battle or disappointment? The Solo Leveling final battle started with huge promise. Jinwoo used his skills to gain the upper hand, facing Antares alone on a deserted island in Japan. But the fight quickly shifted from a one-on-one confrontation to a Monarch versus Monarch battle. Jinwoo's Shadow Army was up against Antares' army of dragons. For a brief moment, Jinwoo seemed to hold his ground. However, the arrival of the Rulers at the last second turned the tide, defeating Antares in a deus ex machina moment. This left many fans feeling that Jinwoo's efforts were diminished, with the epic showdown falling flat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Time travel and the cup of reincarnation One of the biggest points of contention was Jinwoo's use of the Cup of Reincarnation. After the Monarchs' defeat, Jinwoo chose to go back in time, erasing the consequences of the entire series. He saved everyone, including those he lost, and returned to a life before the Gates ever opened. While this offered a sense of closure, it also negated the emotional stakes of the earlier events. Fans were split on this resolution, feeling that it was too convenient and undermined the series' emotional weight. For many, the Cup of Reincarnation felt like a way for the creators to reset everything, making Jinwoo's journey feel less significant. Jinwoo's final choice: The rulers' betrayal and Jinwoo's reflection In the end, the Rulers turned on Jinwoo, giving him the ultimatum to either leave Earth or be sealed away. This betrayal felt hypocritical, given all that Jinwoo had done for them. Yet, instead of backing down, Jinwoo showed his overwhelming power, intimidating the Rulers into submission. However, this forced Jinwoo into a moment of introspection. With the battle over and the world at peace, he questioned his purpose. Having gained godlike powers, he wondered if he was still needed. The ending highlighted his internal struggle with the overwhelming strength that he possessed but had no clear use for anymore. A new beginning: Solo Leveling continues with Ragnarok Despite the divisive ending, Solo Leveling lives on through Solo Leveling: Ragnarok , a spin-off series following Jinwoo's son, Sung Suho. The continuation of the story offers hope for a fresh chapter, allowing fans to explore new characters and dynamics in the Solo Leveling universe. As the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling continues to gain traction, there is potential for the series' anime conclusion to address some of the issues with the original manhwa ending. With the anime already expanding on character development and world-building, fans hope that the conclusion will provide a more satisfying resolution. Is the ending of Solo Leveling truly final? For now, the Solo Leveling manhwa's ending stands as a controversial one, but with the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok spinoff and the ongoing anime series, the world of Solo Leveling is far from over. Fans can only wait to see if future adaptations can redeem the story's conclusion or offer an alternative ending to satisfy the series' loyal fanbase.
