In the Gulf, the word 'Bishara' is often followed by a request for a 'Halawa' or 'Bishara' (a monetary gift) given to the person who brought the good news first. People often use the Form II verb 'Bashar' more frequently in daily life to mean 'to give hope' or 'to predict good things.' In Egypt, 'Bishara' is used in the context of 'Tabasheer,' often referring to the very first signs of success or the start of a season. The phrase is heavily used in traditional storytelling and 'Malhun' poetry to describe the arrival of a hero or a savior.
