Here’s what today’s Iftaar looks like (apologies if posting food pictures is annoying but I tend to remember to take pictures during Iftaari). Today’s menu is Chapli Kebab with spinach and mashed potatoes, and spring rolls with plum sauce.

Here’s a picture of my progress in learning Arabic. I’ve learnt nouns, a bit about sentences and haroof (e.g prepositions) so far. I’ll start learning verbs soon. I hope it goes well since I’m not sitting in an actual class!

Here’s a beautiful and very visual ayat of the Quran from Surah Nur/Light. Here, light upon light is referred to the cohesion between one’s inner light or good with external light or Revelation. When they becomes cohesive, a person becomes a believer. In addition, it is believed by some scientists that Light upon Light explains the physical concept of coherence, i.e the merging between two waves of the same frequency which can result in either a more powerful or the waves cancel each other out and die out.

Tonight, I had an intense craving of making chocolate chip cookies. I was unable to find chocolate chips so I got a couple of bars of Dairymilk and cut them into little cubes.
One thing I love about making these cookies is the look and texture of the cookie dough just before I put it on the tray. They’re so soft and squishy and tasty.

Its half past midnight and the cookies are ready! However, they’re tinier than they are supposed to be. I added more baking soda but the dough didn’t seem to expand when they were in the oven. Nevertheless, they were delicious and my family loved them!

As of yesterday, the last 1/3rd of the month of Ramadan has started. According to our Islamic beliefs, on one day from the last 10 days of Ramadan, The Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW received the first Revelation of Allah (initiating the guidance of Quran) through the Angel Jibrael/Gabriel. In addition, angels descend from the Heavens to spread the Bounty and decree of Allah so Muslims all over the world enhance their worship and supplications to reap the rewards of this blessed night.
I recite supplications from this booklet.

Your cookies look very good! We broke up chocolate into chocolate chips for some cookies recently too. It looks like you’re making good progress with your Arabic.

Arabic looks a very difficult language to read and learn, nice to learn another language.
If the biscuits were all eaten the size does not matter. Did the dairy milk melt?
Love the variety of food on your plate

The letters used in Arabic are the same as used in Urdu so I can read them atleast. The dairymilk melted a bit, just what I needed. Thank you

I haven’t had much success with vegan cookies but am determined to find a good recipe! I would find it fascinating to have an Arabic lesson as it seems so different to our alphabet and language in the UK #project366

Good luck with learning Arabic – it sounds like it is going well so far. Those chocolate chip cookies look delicious – what a good idea to chop up Dairy Milk as a substitute for chocolate chips. #project366

We couldn’t find choc chips for baking cookies either, and also chopped half of the milk chocolate bar. Your cookies look tasty. I enjoy looking at other people’s food. The quote about the light is fascinating, especially that it could be explained in both religious and scientific terms. Your Arabic writing looks very elegant.
