We all love a bit of cake but why ever wondered why? Junk foods are foods that are high in fat and sugar providing no real nutritional value. They just fill the stomach and stop hunger temporarily. The term junk food usually brings into mind a picture of American snacks, but Indian cuisine has a whole variety of junk food than we acknowledge! You will end up easily getting exhausted by being a junk food fanatic because it doesn’t balance the appropriate levels of energy you ought to have, not just that, you will also have tendencies of craving for more food when you eat junk.

Islamic stance on Christmas I remind my brothers from among the students of sacred knowledge that the scholars who forbid congratulating non-Muslims on their religious celebrations tied their judgement to the assumption that congratulating affirms certain tenets of belief (held by non-Muslims) that are diametrically opposed to Islam. They anchored their judgement on a widespread understanding and custom particular to their time that congratulating others … Continue reading Habib Ali al-Jifri on Christmas

Asian weddings can be a lengthy process due to their vast customs and traditions. I’ve been to over five weddings this Autumn to observe what they exactly entail and why. It’s interesting that the majority of Pakistanis continue to follow this cultural trend of marriage, regardless of how ‘British’ they may be.
In this post I’ll explore the typical Pakistani Muslim wedding from beginning to end. Alongside aiming to explore whether these practices conflict with Islam; is there a boundary?
Most arranged marriages and even those of choice (i.e lovers) begin with Continue reading Pakistani Wedding Traditions and Customs explained
They say first impressions are everything. In those first moments of meeting someone new, psychologists say you’ll both be scoping out the same four facial features.

And not to put pressure on you or … Continue reading 4 Facial Features

Eggs, eggs, eggs! You can have them scrambled, fried or even raw. I think the way you like them says something about you! Scrambled? Very untrustworthy—pray that the eggs are soft-scrambled at the very least. Hard-boiled? This person lacks excitement. Omelette? They’re greedy—what this person has will never be enough for them. Over-easy? This person is impatient, but skilled with a spatula. Sunny side-up fried? Top-notch human. … Continue reading The Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg

And proclaim to mankind the Hajj. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant valley. Qur’an 22:27
Ever wondered why you make pilgrimage to Makkah and Madina, why perform Umrah, why dress in white and circumambulate?
Before going, I felt this question was important to me. Aside from the blessings and sightseeing, what is the purpose of this journey? Why is Hajj fardh upon every Muslim?
My personal reflection was that, it is about proclaiming Allah’s name openly and proudly. Where we acknowledge Allah ﷻ as our creator and sustainer, our Lord. In many passages of the Qu’ran, Allah ﷻ Continue reading “How to perform Hajj and Umrah Pilgrimage- And Lots of Tips!”

Future Technology has been a thing in the movies, now we are closer sci-fi as ever. With the advent of space travel, personal computers and mobile phones, technology revolutionised the way we live. Now experts around the globe have turned this up a notch, ready to change life for us once more. Here are 10 inventions that we will see in the next 5 years.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligent behaviour by machines. Machines can now be programmed to acquire, store and use knowledge, reason, solve problems, learn new skills, and manipulate or move objects.
This might remind you of a scene from Iron Man or even Sky Net, but this is exacrlt what it is. Traditional robots are programmed to follow a set of instruction, newer machines can now adduce, induce and deduce.
So far we have Siri, Cortana and Google Assistant, but this technology is expanding rapidly and will be the future. Saudi Arabia recently gave citizenship to a robot called Sophia. Sophia embodies Audrey Hepburn’s classic beauty: porcelain skin, a slender nose, high cheekbones, an intriguing smile, and deeply expressive eyes that seem to change colour with the light. They are dubbed as genius machines that are smarter than humans and can learn creativity, empathy and compassion. Continue reading “The Future: 10 Inventions we’ll see in the next 5 years”

For many of us Ramadan has lost its spirituality and has become more of a robotic exercise than a form of Ibaadah (worship); we fast from morning to night like zombies because everyone around us is fasting. We forget that its a time to purify our hearts and our souls from all evil and sin. We forget to make Dua, forget to beseech Allah to forgive us and ask Him to save us from the Fire. Sure we stay away from food and drink but that’s about all we manage to do. Lets have a look at some of the most common mistakes in Ramadan.
For some people, the entire month of Continue reading “Common Mistakes in Ramadan”
