Your Pashto is perfect! I’m actually impressed, being a native Pashto speaker, speaking Pashto was very difficult but finally got a hang of it…! ښه راغلاست افغانستان ته امید لرم چه ښه سفر ولری!

Afghanistan, a country where its neighbours have sworn to never allow it to prosper.
Afghanistan is like a table that is standing on only one leg. Despite three legs being broken through politics and intervention from other countries, it is still holding on strong.
Let’s pray to Allah SWT to shower His mercy on these people alongside Palestinians who are in worst conditions. Ameen.
