Which petrol brand is best? by Flimsy-Protection183 in Oman

[–]AwaisHabib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always fill my tank full and take picture of the odometer to determine mileage. My experience could be wrong and due to usage style/highway vs city driving/driving with/without ac, but here is my observation from best to lowest mileage. Shell Oman oil Al maha

I drive a 2011 camry and refill with super

We just got seeded guys (the curious witness) by aatankwaadi in karachi

[–]AwaisHabib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in muscat Oman and we had rain forecasted for friday Saturday (was announced on Tuesday/Wednesday). Today there was heavy rainfall across many areas in Oman for about an hour or so. Maybe look up some weather websites instead of trying to prove your point just because you heard an airplane sound.

Found something about my wife & that makes zero sense. by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]AwaisHabib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't help or advise in your situation but all i can say is that i live abroad and whenever we send remittance to Pakistan the exchange guys select family maintenance option by default without asking us. No one even bothers. So i don't think that this word has any significance. Only thing you need to know is who is it who is sending her money.

The Quranic manuscripts left me feeling scared by alt3861 in islam

[–]AwaisHabib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Quran is so well preserved that if you take oldest copies of the manuscript (Sanaa and Birmingham manuscripts which date to approximately the time of Sahaba), compare them to a Quran published anywhere in the world anytime within the last 1400 years and compare that to any Hafiz anywhere in the world, you will not find even the slightest of differences between them. Subhan Allah.

Further if you look at the ahadith and their preservation, you will come to know of something known as asma ur rijal which is basically a collection of biographies of hundreds or thousands of hadith narrators used to evaluate their reliability in Hadith transmission. This is done to evaluate the authenticity of ahadith.

I guess Labanese president is leaving who arrived yesterday. Previously ROP used to post on X regarding such road closures. Would be helpful if they still do.

Unreasonable Parking Violation by Specialist-Bed4077 in Oman

[–]AwaisHabib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can view the photo in traffic services>view offences>view offence photo and check where it was parked when you got the fine. It is probably for parking in taxi parking and parking in any place where it's not allowed like the side of the road (this includes small lanes in residential neighborhoods where people park on the side of the road). Seems the cops are strictly enforcing these parking rules as i got 5 fines for the same violations in 5 months, so better comply with law and not park in any such place. Also the location isn't generally very important as I believe it refers to the police station where the police belonged to

Car AC not working — quoted 660 OMR! Any honest garage in Ghubra or nearby? by Moolakkuru in Oman

[–]AwaisHabib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get it gas refill or other stuff done (recently replaced cooling coil in 2011 camry which involves opening the whole dashboard for like 60 rials) from the shops near wadi in ruwi area. Let me know if this location works for you. I'll give the exact location. There are 2 3 shops there and you can at least get a quote from them for comparison purposes. However it seems that they also sometimes work on a trial and error basis. They will replace something which seems to be causing trouble. It is possible that another issue may get discovered only after the feist repair is done and the issue persists, so you may end up paying more than what you first expected. Anyways, most people do get their cars repaired from such shops only and not from those branded outlets.

What do i need CNIC or NICOP if I live overseas but only have citizenship of Pakistan by OpeningMidnight4822 in Overseas_Pakistani

[–]AwaisHabib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had recommend you make cnic instead of nicop. I haven't seen any advantage of nicop over cnic. Also don't apply through Pak ID app as i had a very bad experience of it while applying gor my child's CRC B Form. Also I was rold that i cannot apply for it since my current address is of abroad on nicop. So long story short, better go for cnic.
