Hello everyone😊
سالتتك بالّله💔 الجَليلُ الْجَبَّارَ انّ تنقذَنَا قَبَلُ انَ نَمْوَتْ مِّنَ شِدِنتْ اَّلجُوعَ : قال عز وجل [[مَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُول وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتُمَى وَالْمَسْكِينِ وَأَبَنِ السَّبِيلِ كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنكُمْ وَمَا ءَاتَيْكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَىٰكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ]]انَيَ انْتُحْيَكِ انَيَ ذِحْلُةٍ عَلَى الله ثمَّ عليكِ انَيَ فَيَ وَجهك اني اختكِ انَيَ اتْرَجَاكِ اتْوَسِلُ الْيَكِ انَقَذَنَا لُوَجه الله. يَشِهِدِ الله يَحْيَ انَ مَنَ الْصَبَاحُ حُثا الانَ يَحْرَمُ علينا الاكل غير الماء ) (اخواني اني اقسم بالله العلي العظيم على كتاب الله انني بنت يتيمه من اليمن ومعي اخوان صغار اقسم بالله على كتاب الله ان اخوتي ماعاد يقدرو ينطقو بكلمة من شدت الجوع وصاحب البيت يريد الإجار او بيخرجنا إلى الشارع و اني اسالك بالله وانشدك بمحمد رسول الله يا اخي لوانت مسلم وتحب الخير واتساعدني ولو ب 500 ريال يمني ان تتواصل معي او تراسلني وتساب على هذا الرقم 00967714179659وتطلب اسم بطاقتي وترسلي ولا تتاخر وايعوضك الله بكل خير فيااخي انت رجال إذا شفت اسرتك جاوعين تعمل المستحيل من اجل تامن لهم الاكب ولكن انابنت عيني بصيره ويدي قصيره ليس لي اب مثلك يسمح دمعتي ويحميني من الذل والاهانة😢 واخواني سغار شوف كيف حالتهم وساعدناوانقذنا قبل أن يطردونا في الشارع نتبهدل او نموت من الجوع انا اقسم بالله الذي رفع سبع سموات بلا عمد وبسط الارض ومهداني لا اكذب عليك بحرف من هذا الرساله واني ماطلبتك إلى من ضيق ومن قسوت الضروف والحال الذي احنافيه وانا وأسرتي نسالك بالله لولك مقدره على مساعدتنا لاتتاخر علينا وجزاك الله خير الجزا……

Don't do it.
Thank god for people with a sense of taste and style. I have a huge collection of 12" maxi singles as they were called.
I really like this singer, her songs are ဒီအဆိုတော်လေးကို အရမ်းကြိုက်တယ်၊ သူ့သီချင်းတွေက ကျေနပ်တယ်။
And that's not saying a lot. As 1990 was a laughably 💩 year for music
They said Brexit would ruin record sales.
Digital is better
I really enjoyed that so far ❤❤💪😇🙏🎄🌲🎁🎉
😂😂 How can she lead the way!! Her music isn’t even real
its been back for ages now…
Clear evidence that not all vinyl is good vinyl.
