A three-day workshop entitled “Discover Yourself” was recently conducted by development and stress management expert A.W. Sadatullah Khan.
Khan is the founder and owner of Peace for You International, based in Bangalore, India. Khan is also a gold medalist from Bangalore University and an ambassador for peace.
Jubail-based professionals attended the workshop, which covered various topics, such as stress management, commitment, acceptance, forgiveness, anger management, contentment, frustration, ego, attitude and marital disputes. It also included an interactive session on letting go of the past.
The workshop was followed by a two-day workshop for women and an additional four-hour workshop for men.
Tahir Mohiuddin, chairman of the International Indian School of Jubail (IISJ), and Managing Committee member Ateeq ur Rahman invited Khan to conduct a short workshop for students of the school, especially on stress and fear management.
School workshops were conducted separately for boys and girls and were well received by students. Several students sent their notes of appreciation and gratitude to Khan. One attendee said that the workshop has completely transformed his view on how he sees life and future.
The workshops were jointly organized by Al-Bayan International and Hyderabad Deccan Connections (HDC). The organizing team members included Mohammed Farooq, Tahir Mohiuddin, Ateeq ur Rahman, Abdul Rasheed, Abdul Naseer, Mansoor Khan and Abdul Haleem under the leadership of Syed Waheed Lateef, president of HDC.
Prominent residents in Jubail, including Meraj Ansari, Anees Bakhsh and Mohammed Abdul Sattar, said that in a world where one witnesses unending disputes, misunderstandings, stress and anger, such workshops are the need of the hour and should be conducted on a regular basis to change perspectives.
Anju Raghunath of the IISJ said, “The workshop was excellent. Before the workshop, I had negative thinking, but after attending the workshop, my mind has become peaceful and I think positively.”
Aiman Saad Baig said, “The workshop was marvelous and fabulous. Sadatullah Khan deserves nothing but praise. My confidence has been boosted by Khan and his team. This workshop changed my life entirely.”
An extensive three-hour workshop for IISJ teachers, organized by Syed Waheed Lateef, Taher Mohiuddin and Ateeq ur Rahman, was also a success. Teachers who attended the workshop praised the efforts, which they say brought about a change in their perspective on life.

National Water Company plants 2 million trees in Madinah to boost Saudi Green Initiative
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s National Water Company, through its northwest sector, has planted more than 2.1 million trees in the Madinah region as part of its commitment to the Saudi Green Initiative.
NWC’s efforts also reflects the company’s efforts to expand vegetation cover, combat desertification and enhance environmental sustainability by using tertiary-treated wastewater from its treatment plants, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
NWC says it is uniting all sustainability efforts in the country to rapidly scale up the Kingdom’s climate action.
In 2025, NWC planted more than 472,000 trees, ensuring that the project remains on track with strategic plans to optimize water resources and improve quality of life.
NWC confirmed that more than 200,000 of these trees — roughly 10 percent of the total — have already reached a level of maturity that allows them to thrive independently without further irrigation or specialized care.
Working in close integration with the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, NWC plans to scale its afforestation projects during upcoming agricultural seasons.
These efforts are designed to improve air quality and increase oxygen levels, reduce harmful environmental emissions, support local biodiversity, and raise overall vegetation rates, SPA reported.
By transforming treated water into a vital resource for greening, the NWC continues to play a pivotal role in achieving the Kingdom’s ambitious climate and sustainability objectives.
SGI is an ambitious national initiative that is focused on combating climate change, improving quality of life, and protecting the environment for future generations.
Launched in 2021 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, SGI supports Saudi Arabia’s ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2060 through the Circular Carbon Economy approach and is also accelerating the country’s transition to a green economy. Three overarching targets guide the Saudi Green Initiative’s work — emissions reduction, afforestation, and land and sea protection.
