and so i decided to learn to make eggless cake and to generally be more careful with my usage of eggs.
coz free range isnt cheap.
but it isnt about the price. its abt the fact that because eggs became so cheap (with disastrous consequences and effects) we have become ungrateful of eggs and use too much (bit like milk but thats another story coz im addicted to milk) and dont even think about our consumption.
David and Wilson were lost in desert...they were dying of thirst when
they came upon an oasis, and there was a Mosque.
David to Wilson:
"Look there is a mosque, lets pretend we are muslims, otherwise we'll
not get any food or water...I am going to call myself 'Ahmad". Willson
refused to change his name and said:
"my name is Wilson and i will never pretend to be other than what I am!"
...
The Imam of mosque recieved both well and asked their names...
David:
i am Ahmad
Wilson:
I am Wilson
Imam turned to his helpers and said:
"bring some food for Willson only"
I did something very stupid at suhoor today.
Lesson learnt: Don't eat two bowls of cereal.
The result?
Running up and down the stairs to try and shake off the feeling of ultimate fullness and greediness.
I found this really interesting...
A benefit of fasting is the healing process that begins in the body during a fast. During a fast energy is diverted away from the digestive system due to its lack of use and towards the metabolism and immune system.
The healing process during a fast is precipitated by the body's search for energy sources.
Abnormal growths within the body, tumors and the like, do not have the full support of the body's supplies and therefore are more susceptible to autolysis.
I was always told to make intention for salah by saying "I intend to pray 2 rakats of Nafl for Maghrib while facing the Kaba" then say Allahuakbar
But apparently:
Ibn Al-Qayyim, رحمه الله, stated in “Zaad Al-Ma’aad” or in “Al-Hudaa An-Nabawiyy”: “When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would stand for Salaah he said: ‘Allaahu Akbar’ and said nothing else before it nor did he pronounce his intention aloud. Nor did he say: ‘I will pray for Allaah Salaah such and such while facing the Qiblah four raka’aat as imaam or follower’.
