This evening as we were breaking fast we were also watching a certain person on a certain tv station.
For some reason he started talking about a hadith. He said that the Prophet Muhammad, Salallahu alaihiwasallam, said “Don’t waste water! Not even if you’re on the banks of a river!”
Then he proceeded to explain it to his brothers and sisters, that, you see brothers and sisters (and i paraphrase), see the extent of this hadith because, “how can you waste water on the banks of a river?” and he laughed his little laugh.
*blinks*
People will say I am a bad muslim, saying things about my muslim brothers but…but…LOGIC!
*sobs*
I hope if you know that you can waste electricity even if you live in a nuclear power plant!
Well, here you see my sister admitted to being an entitlement princess and interrupting my Ramadhan Blog, but I shall recover and at least salvage some and post some of ‘Id.
‘Id means festival and ‘Id-ul-Fitr is the celebration at the end of the month of fasting. It is the first of Shawwal.
For this holiday we prepare food!
So our food menu is (trini style) Barbeque chicken, lamb biryani, lamb kibbeh, falafel, spicy potato and gruyere cheese balls (unless someone donates monterey jack cheese to us), green salad (for mom). Maybe some vegetarian rice.
And the sweets menu?
Baklava and Asabieh, Basboosa (which I’m sure the people at grad school called Harisa), fake Nantakai (made from gulab jamoon recipe), carrot cake (from a box), sawaine and halwah.
Pictures shall follow!
If I have time maybe I’ll make CHOCOLATE HEARTS OF DARKNESS!
But the Asabieh is coming out very mmmmm.
Guess what I’m breaking fast with!
