It has become clear that some drivers of vehicles belonging to ministries and their departments are among the drivers who most frequently violate traffic
regulations on public streets as well as prohibited side streets. Therefore, in the interest of applying the relevant
regulations in a spirit of cooperation, we request your kindness in notifying all ministries to convey this desire and to emphasize to them
to follow traffic regulations and instructions and not to violate the orders of those responsible for their implementation, taking advantage of their
official status, and to inform us.

1- We have noticed that most of the personal requests referred to us by school administrations
whether for a special or regular leave request, or for a transfer or travel, are not accompanied by the
explicit opinion of the school principal on the original request. Therefore, please do not refer any request to us in
the future unless it is accompanied by your opinion on the subject. For example, when requesting a leave (we support
what was stated in the request of the aforementioned person and we have no objection to granting him the leave, and this does not conflict with the progress of
teaching).
2- Please submit requests for special or regular leave before
taking it by a suitable period. Anyone absent before obtaining approval will be considered absent without pay
whether with or without an excuse.
3- All school administrations are requested to keep a register for the addresses of male and female teachers,
male and female instructors, employees, and workers, provided that it is the permanent address, and the
signature of the address owner is taken on the page where his address is recorded to enable notifying him when
absence occurs, or issuing notices, or summoning him for any reason whatsoever. The school principal shall be
responsible for notification and informing you when the new address is changed.
We hope that we will all cooperate to overcome these difficulties ⟦line⟧ .

Anthem: Allahu Akbar
Lyrics by Shams al-Din Abdullah | Composed by Mahmoud al-Sharif
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
God is Greatest above the aggressor's plot | and God is the best supporter of the oppressed
With certainty and with weapons I shall sacrifice for | my homeland, and the light of truth shines in my hand
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest
God is Greatest above the aggressor
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
O world, look out and listen | The enemy army has come seeking my downfall
With truth I shall shake him, and with my cannon | And if I perish, I shall make him perish with me
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest
God is above the aggressor
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
Say with me ⟦..⟧ woe to the colonizer | and God is above the treacherous tyrant
And God is Greatest, O my country, cry out | and take the forelock of the raider and destroy
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest

Anthem: Banner of the Arabs
Lyrics by Muhammad al-Ati | Composed by Abdel Wahab al-Sheikhly
Flutter above the sky of the Arabs | in the heights above the heads of the shooting stars
And be safe from the calamities of fate | Banner of the Arabs, by my mother and father
The leap of the Arabs, and you are the hope | and tomorrow our hopes will be fulfilled
And upon our desert shall be defeated | the determinations of the usurping conqueror
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub
With shed blood nations live | and upon the heads the flag rises
Cast away the soul cheaply to be honored | he who defends his land is not defeated
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub
Baghdad, take pride in Saturn | and stand tall like a mountain in glory and loftiness
Through you, I revived hope in souls | a nation whose mother has not failed
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub

Anthem: Unity of the Arabs
Lyrics by Anwar
The unity of the Arabs was manifested in wishes | and the world of the Arabs flourished in its shadow
So upon the desert, the light overflowed | and upon the valley, the breaths of joy
A happy feast has appeared and drawn near
Al-Zawra sang the good news of the union | and upon Al-Fayha, the melodies of longing
Umm al-Qura lit up all the lands | and Sana'a healed for the clear light
We all owe allegiance to the great unity
The Nile embraced and whispered to Barada | so the passion of the valley of the two Euphrates was moved
O anthem of eternity, the horizon has rung | calling out to gather the forces
Bring the distance near, for the separation has been long

Dignity is my nature and my soul is always free and proud
I am an Arab, Arab, Arab
I am an Arab, a flame, a fire, and a revolution against colonialism
I am the struggle, I am the weapon against the tyrannical aggressors
I am neutrality, I am Jihad, the symbol of the defiant revolutionaries
I am steadfastness with determination and certainty and a clear victory
I continue my struggle and I call out and I call out
I am an Arab, Arab, Arab

Anthem of the Glory of the Arabs
Lyrics by Khalid Al-Shawaf, Composed by Saeed Shabo
It is glory in its first cloak, the fabric of the Arabs
It looms with victory from a home beyond the shooting stars
So say to the sky
As you were in our yesterday, flutter over me, flutter in the heart of the sky
We have shaken off the centuries and risen as highness desires
And far be it from us to seek a home below the sky
Even the first radiance
To victory we led the revolutionaries through the night of centuries for an era past
We want life and we refuse stagnation for the good of existence
To build civilizations like the ancestors, the nectar of immortality
And there is no reason
Except our full right to life, and as for anything else, we shall not be robbed
If the nights of sickness ask us, we carry the branches
And if they break our covenant and protection, we send death
So say to the nations
If you draw the swords and spears, then the answer is iron and blood

The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
We have blood that will sacrifice in the future
And a revolution that breaks the resolve of the generation
We have a morning that dawned with hope
The Great Unity is ours, so rejoice
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
From every region a cry is launched
And ululations soar in the heights
Happiness is ours, the accompanying light is ours
O my nation, the bright morning is ours
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
The legend of grandfather will be erased with blood
And our free people will meet with high resolve
So embrace our wounds and smile
And repeat the melody of the heights and my tune
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours
We have free blood in the Maghreb
Making the dawn of the people, the dawn of the Arabs
Palestine of the anticipated tomorrow is ours
So melt, O my nation, and ignite
The unified tomorrow is ours, the happiest morning is ours
Good tidings, the time has come, O my nation, tomorrow is ours

Our regions, O my nation, have become narrow with them
Enough of our humiliation, so be pious, enough ⟦perhaps⟧

Anthem of the Arabian Peninsula
Lyrics by Habib al-Obaidi, Composed by Akram Raouf
Its pebbles have merit over the shooting stars, and its soil is better than gold
The sky wishes it could wear a robe of its wondrous style
And if the lightning sees its smile
It intoxicates it with the wine of wonder
If the mirage appears in its deserts, tell the Galaxy River to be hidden
The most honorable of them performed pilgrimage in the land of Hijaz, to the partner of the moons from nearby
I do not take the land of heaven as a homeland for me
Instead of the Arabian Peninsula
We are the descendants of a nation that raised a banner for guidance upon the monuments
We are the descendants of a nation that wrote the miracles of history with swords
We are the descendants of a nation that delivered a sermon
On the day it stood with the most brilliant ranks
