Happy Ramadan



Alhamdulillah the beautiful month is here, though this month is harder on us as we have to fast and keep away from food. You won't believe it that it is 48 degree temperature in Jeddah. I want to avoid kitchen or have to prepare super fast recipes.

Speaking of recipes what you guys prepare? Well for us, soup, fruit chat are must...rest we have pakodas or dhai bdde on alternate days.

I was thinking that we are enthusiastic about preparing delicious food for sehri and iftar, but are we also preparing for the REAL SOUL of Ramadan?

I recite Quran , each juzz per day with Urdu Translation. I have a tip, I recite ONE RUBBA (there are four divisons of each juzz) after each prayer, alhamdulillah it has worked for me well.

Really don't engage yourself so much in cooking. You can freeze the batter in morning and fry in evening. You can save a lot of time.

Another thing is that BE LIGHT when you go for taraveeh, before taraveeh have a fruit juice and fruit chat as well as tea. Eat other food when you are back from taraveeh. This way you will be active while performing salah.
These were few tips from me. Well I am not a perfectionist but these are some tricks that really worked for me.
Don't forget to check some health discussion here...
Wish you all a very happy and blessed Ramadan. MAY ALLAH ACCEPT OUR PRAYERS, Ameen.

Time Management

I am being a night owl since weeks and it really sucks. I really feel bad about it later and wanted to manage my time.We , the Muslims, should never say that WE ARE BORED.... we have to utilize our time and use our health and energy for our religion and for the basis Allah has sent us for. No human being is send to this Earth without any duty he/she has to perform and these all words are fact of life and hence I feel ashamed of how I am misusing my energy and time in really useless ways. While googling through the net, I found a best idea here  and am so much impressed that how easy and well illustrated way the writer has described the Time Management Tips. 1. Analysing the Time : For this we have to take record in our diary about how we spend our daily routine even realizing how much time we MOSTLY waste on certain stuff. 2. Cutting Back unproductive demands: Now by taking note of what we really do each day and seeing a list of our noted activities, we can find it easy to cut

Hijab for Chubby Face?

I am just bored of how I simply wrap hijab around my head, tried different ways but I hate putting pins around, what if they pinch me or my lil one or maybe drop on floor and someone gets hurt, secondly I noticed that we don't get extra long hijab easily which covers the chest, thirdly I noticed that tight hijabs don't look good on chubby faces. So I looked on google by typing Hijab on Chubby face and saw lot of good images and tutorials and found out that loose curl hijabs look good on such face. I do wear niqaab as well but want to style hijab nicely in case I go to someone's home.  I loved the images here ....not posting direct pics in case model minds.... AND specially loved some here  and here Check this for info on hijab according to face shape.....
