Eid Mubaraq

-

After a month of compulsory fasting a day full of blessings comes. It is a day of thankfulness to Allah for making the fasting easier for us. It is a day of thankfulness for increasing our provisions.Blessed is this day.A night before it is the night of forgiveness from sins. As the workers get their salary only on completion of their work satisfactorily so also the slaves of Allah get rewards on the last night after completing one month's fasting.Some sunnaths of this blessed day are:
1. Waking up early in the morning and take bath.
2. Wear new clothes.if not new at least clean and good clothes.
3. Wear fragrance(for males)
4. To pray eid salaath as early as possible.
5. Say taqbeer while on the way to eidgah and also while waiting for prayers.
6. Wish your brothers and exchange gifts.
7. To go to eidgaah by one road walking and return by another road.
Sadaqa ul fitr is an obligatory charity to be given a day before or at least before going for eid prayers. It is given to poor people so that they can also enjoy eid.

Meaning of Summa Ameen

-
Image
The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

The Chicken Story- Shawai, Tanduri, BBQ or What?

Thursday afternoon is for friends and family to gather and spend some quality time together; cousins in Dubai get together every Thursday with accessories like coal, grill marinated chicken and kubboos. It is like a celebration with jokes, pokes, fun and barbeque, but first is to find a right place in the desert to settle down. First step is to get fire up coal, that requires skill and patience, next is to place the marinated chicken on the grill. There is no cooking oil used (zero cholesterol) and the chicken cooks in its own oil, each pieces are moved/turned so that the cooking is regular. Alas! The pleasure of sumptuous food. (made at home) Once the chicken is ready everything else is forgotten it’s just chicken and us, The name of the dish was of course a debate, Shawai, Tandoori or BBQ finally we decided to call it ‘chutta kozhi’. Recipe – Chicken marinated in Secret Ingredients for at-least 4 hours. Secrete ingredients:- Lemon/Curd, Mint, Cilantro, chilly powder, tamarind powder,
