Women's Ramadan
Check out various posts on social media..Today, Sunday Magazine noticed that women should lighten the kitchen work for a month before Ramadan, such as grind garlic and keep it, brown and grind several kilos of onion, make samosa rolls for a month, tomato paste Boil it and freeze it. A woman said soak the rice and dry it and put it in bags. A woman suggested on TV that you should cut the fruits and put them in zip locks. Shake and lick will be used. Time will be saved. More tips Boil white and black chickpeas to make packets, make large sesame lentils packets, one suggestion was sweet tamarind sauce, put sweet and sour curry sauces in a jar and boil some vegetables and freeze some unboiled, The woman said, "Freeze the pratha for half a month or for a week."
The question is why do this * Why do the housework on the mind ?? If we are employed, then the concern will be different. Those women will do all these things even in a normal routine.
There are suggestions to start this preparation from the middle of Sha'ban and we are all wondering how much a woman is really forced to do the heavy work of domestic affairs and the requirements of Ramadan !!!!!
The refrigerator was invented in our childhood, but we did not see such preparations. There used to be one or two stoves in the house and not every aunt used to come to the house and also Eid sewing was done at home. Men's white trousers and pajamas were also sewn in the house from the wooden stitches. Home-made Iftar was also distributed in the neighborhood, Iftar parties were also held, and those who came home on Eid were also offered the benefits of crushed flying lentils ...
Then where did the time go ?? Are our worship rituals too much or were they illiterate? We are highly educated, so we are so worried about what will happen to the kitchen in Ramadan. If something happens that presses a button, the food bags will roll into the microwave and the robot table Garnish with samosas, yogurt, fruit licks, shakes and biryani.
Don't we know that housework is worship?
The pleasures of saving one's family from falling into the trap of freezing sour and sweet sauces.
The more full the freezer, the heavier the brain becomes so that it doesn't get too old. Emptying the freezer is a pain that the desire to eat fresh but full freezer rides on the brain !!!
Where load shedding lasts from five to fifteen hours, what is the point of this advice?
How much do we worship that the housework will be interrupted and how much time does it take to cook? Rather, if you go to the kitchen, the value of fasting increases. What will be the reward of this sacrifice for the family in hunger and thirst?
We all have five burners in our stoves. At least three. If you go to the kitchen after reciting the Asr, you have a helper in the case of daughter-in-law and daughter. One hour is enough for all kinds of cooking. ..
The question is why are there samosas, rolls, fritters and chickens on the table every day? Isn't there a drink and a date on the Iftar table? The drink can also be lassi. Shake of apple, chickpea or date is also ready to eat. Immediately after Maghrib prayers, eat food. Before Taraweeh, there will be time to get some food and kitchen wraps.
If the food is curry or rice etc .. If you are very hungry then lentil rice is also enjoyed with salads. Iftar does not feel the taste of heavy stomach biryani and koftas ..
In fact, it is a time of testing between Asr and Maghrib, when the desires of the soul come to the fore, how helpless I would have been. After a hard day of hunger and thirst, now a table full of Iftar is your right.
Consider that when all sorts of drinks and foods and new dishes overwhelm nature, the children themselves say that tomorrow will not make so much..but we lose the battle of nafs whether the children have a heart or are silent. If you are happy, they will be too ...
Imam al-Ghazali says that the real test of your fast is on your Iftar table, how much training have you been given to kill yourself ???
The requirements of each home will be different. Not everyone can have the same advice.
When our mothers had washing machines, their aunts did not sleep after Fajr, there was no waste of Ramadan transmission, there was no love of markets, there was no obsession with brands, time was running out of it, freezing vegetables and month-old meatballs were available Avoid feeding biryani. The thing to think about is how to lighten the table, lighten the stomach and enjoy worship.
I have eaten well for eleven months, I am still thinking only about food, my stomach is also empty, so is the freezer full, God willing, it takes ten minutes to get something out.
Now sleep before eating.
Housework is purely worship. Lighten the work by multiplying the desires. Ramadan is not a mandatory program.
No responsibility is burdened if the men of the house also shake hands.
Do not consider the tasks of Ramadan as a burden before Ramadan so that you do not lose weight and what is left is Ramadan has come !!! This is not a preparation for Ramadan. Preparation for Ramadan is about awakening to Tahajjud, practicing less food and relating to the Qur'an Is stable ...
Ramadan is a month of hardship, the month of conquests and conquest of Makkah is blessed. Great victories took place in this month of Islamic history ...
For a Muslim woman, domestic responsibilities are not burdensome, nor are they light-hearted. All spices, including garlic and ginger powder, are available at supermarkets. You need to shorten your wish list and when the weather is good, water is plentiful. The soil is also very fertile
