Vegetarian

[Yakoub38]

As-salaamu alaykum

Sisters and Brothers, I eat only a very small amount of meat. Does anyone have any yummy vegetarian recipes?

Jazak Allah

[Muslim Sista]

Yeah peel some carrots cut a cucumber and cut some lettuce and there you have a perfect meal.

[Yakoub38]

Bismillah

As-salaamu alaykum Muslim Sister

I do not think sarcasm is in keeping with the adab of the Prophet (aws) - perhaps to are spending too much time amongst the kufr students in Leeds?

May Allah forgive us all and unite the Ummah in friendship and kindness, serving only Allah

Aslaam u Alaikum brother,

You are just like me, I don't eat meat either except for keema (minced meat)!

Waslaam.

[yasminah]

I have some. I was a vegetarian for 10 years, because of health reasons first, then when I became a muslim, where i lived there was no such thing as halal meats unless i wished to drive over an hour to detroit to get them. So I continued to stay vegan mostly.
I have too many to post on a thread, but my email is Yasminah72@aol.com. If you send me your email, I'll be happy to let you have the ones I do have, as well as any information i have about vegan foods.
Most of what I have is of indian origin, but they're good, and I do have some non indian just in case you're not into spicy things :-> Let me know at your convenience.

Sorry if you were offended!

No probs, sister. Take care.

You say you were born to make others lives miserable. We all were born to serve Allah, and to oppress other muslims is a shirk.

49:11 O you who believe, let not people laugh at people, perchance they may be bette than they; nor let women laugh at women, perchance they may be better than they. Neither find fault with your own people, nor call one another by nick-names. Evil is a bad name after faith; and whoso turns not, these it is that are the iniquitous.

Yasminah

[Yakoub38]

Bismillah

As-salaamua alaykum

"Believers are one single brotherhood, so make peace and reconciliation between two contenders, and fear Allah, that they may receive mercy."

The Holy Qur'an, Surah 49:10

"Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is a great falsehood. Do not search for faults in each other, do not spy on each other, nor yearn after that which others possess, nor envy, nor entertain malice or indifference..."

Go ahead and try it. You can't do anything Allah won't allow, and if online, action can be taken to defend myself.

Lets get all serious

[EVILution]

Aslaam u Alaikum,

Sister Yasminah and bro Yaoub38, please chill, muslim sister was only kidding in the first place, so as we are all muslim brothers/sisters we should forgive each others mistakes and start fresh, huh.

Waslaam.

[Yakoub38]

As-salaamu alaykum

My previous post was an attempt to put the matter to rest, and I think it is about time it was.

[yasminah]

but unfortunately, some people have no class, and they choose to continue to antagonize. That's when we're left with only two choices, to ignore them, or report them.

[Muslim Sista]

well some ppl just want to get their pants in a twist over something that was not serious

[Yakoub38]

As-salaamu alaykum

It's more serious than you think.

I think it was the Islamic scholar Akbar Ahmed, in his comparison between Western and Islamic thinking, who stated that Islam does not embrace irony. Your kind of ironic humour is a double edged sword - it is good for debunking people who are pompous and talk nonsense, but irony is also a wit that frequently inflicts injury on others.

"O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turn not in repentance, such are evil-doers."
Soorah Al-Hujuraat, Ayat 11

In short, good humour should elevate, not deride.

Anyway, I can assure you all my clothes are straight and well fitting, even if I did buy them from Tradex!

Aslaam u Alaikum,

Yakoub38, where exactly do u live cos well I shop at TradeX too, hmm interesting.

Waslaam.

[Yakoub38]

As-salaamu alaykum

At the risk of sending this thread on a wild tangent, the Tradex shirts were cheap - but the cheapest had a check pattern.

The thing is, I had an inkling that there might be a hadith forbiding check-patterned clothes. Can anyone confirm this?

I know silk and gold are forbidden to men.

I bought the plain ones, anyway.

I live in the North of England, by the way.

Wasalaam

Yummy Trifle :D

Ingredients:

Madeira cake
Assorted fruits (apple, banana, tangerine, tinned peaches and tinned pineapply are yum!)
Chocolate chips (if desired :p )
Carton of Ambrosia custard
Ginger biscuits (Hobnobs work fantastically :nuts: )
Tub of double cream


Method :meow:

1. Slice the madeira cake thinly and line the bowl with the slices, until the whole bowl is covered

2. Cut up the various fruits and mix in a bowl. Chop up the tinned peaches and pineapples and add some of the peach juice into the fruit mixture.

3. Add chocolate chips to the fruit mixture (if desired)

4. Crush the biscuits and sprinkle an ample amount over the madeira cake.

5. Using the peach juice, sprinkle over the cake so it sweetens and softens it a little.

6. Now add the mixed fruits to the bowl spreading evenly.

7. Layer the Ambrosia custard over the fruit and then another layer of fruits, and custard again and spread evenly.

8. Stick the bowl in the fridge for a while so the custard can set a little, and in the meantime whip the double cream until drops blobs when you lift the utensil (this stage is crucial, because you dont want to overwhip the cream, or it will be too hard to spread on the custard)

9. Spread the cream over the custard, and decorate using either chocolate chips, hundreds and thousands, or for a summer trifle slice some kiwi and strawberry on top. :)

10. Leave to cool in the fridge for at least a half hour before serving.

11. Eat and forget about how much washing up is waiting at the sink. :D
