Hi Everyone,
Today as many of you have noticed was 52 degrees. I couldn't even stand outside to open the door of my house which takes about 10 seconds. My AC stopped working every time I was at a traffic light.

I was at the decoration round about when i noticed on my right hand side workers doing some work outside IN 52 DEGREES?
This is COMPLETELY AWFUL AND SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE!!
what is the law here about this anyways?
I AM SURE it doesn't say work in 52 degrees at 3pm outside!!

it is heart breaking, i feel very bad for them.

but as for me.. let them do whatever they want... i wish one day they'll realize looking up the sky.. far above there is Someone constatntly watching us...

the sufferings we feel, the pain that crushes our soul, the work loads that tear our muscles, the sweat that wet us all... is fairly scaled by the Almighty, the most Merciful and Source of all life...

all these and these are temporal...

the life after death is eternal...

these workers' pain are seen by HIM...

companies are not allowed to shift their work at nights... but most of them planned to work at nights during holy month of Ramadan only...

that's squeezing dried lemons dude... sad but that's life.. but In Allah's house, those poor workers have bigger rooms...

I feel bad for them too.. actually am sick now coz of going in and out from office to parking area..But The Almighty's watching us... He does so don't worry dude...

this life here, this burning hell wheather here is just temporal...but the next life, the burning is forever...

Hey, i agree that some people want to work, if i would make so much more than in my home country i would be working also.

Working outside in this weather is a hazard to the people though, they should be protected against themselfs.

Take care

11:30 till 3pm I believe is the times the Emiri decree mention.

Forget slavery, some of those guys WANT to work. They are here to make money and don't really care it's that hot. I know from experience!!!

I couldn't even bear one minute of being outside!

During the summer season, they put out a memo to stop working during the peak hours of this heat.. Maybe some companies do not follow this rule..
