Salaams to all... hope all of you are doing well, if anyone is still reading:) Lots has happened in the past week or so since we have written, we will try and get you guys updated with most of it, IA....
Sometime last week, all the pilgrims came back from Hajj, and we stopped over at Safir hotel to go and greet them back..lol, we met so many people, all our cousins and nephews from london, few of our peeps from Los Angeles, got a free meal out of it and met and got to know some new people we had never met. It was really nice to see everyone and thats one of the best parts about being here, especially in the heart of Sayyida Zainab, is meeting all these people who know about the course and are interested in learning more...
We have also become official Islamic ring (especially Aqeeq) buyers for anyone who needs help. In two days we helped about 3-4 people buy over 20000 syrian pounds worth of rings, i know its not alot in conversion, but its alot over here... lol.. our teacher showed us how to tell if a ring is Yemeni Aqeeq which is recommended to wear, so now we use that info and help all we can.... So if anyone is interested or wants a ring, please send a check to my brother in Los Angeles, and once the funds are deposited, we will purchase a nice ring on this end...LOL LOL hahaha...
I know we blogged a few blogs ago that we were home sick, but now that school has started, Alhamd we are not as home sick as we were, ofcourse we still miss our family and friends but its not nearly as bad.. now we miss some food that we dont get here or dont want to try and making here..lol... so here is the list :) enjoy :)
Steak - I'm talking about some proper Sirloin or TBone steak, marinated and grilled on the bbq...umm umm umm :)
Some proper Khoja bhiryani - like the kind they make at mosque..lol..
Some proper Khoja Pilau - with pettis or cutlass on the side.... dont get us wrong, they sell meat here, but it seems to risky to go and buy...lol.. you should come check it out for yourself to understand.
Virani's ribs - hahahaha enough said
East African Mushkaki - yesss
Fish Bhiryani - or better known as Machi Bhath..(only I miss this, Sabiha doesnt like it to begin with...)
Proper grilled fish with rice pilaf and mashed potatoes (from Red Lobster, again only me :))
Im sure there is alot more, but thats all we can think of right now...
Anyhow, take care, till next time, remember us in your prayers.
Ma'asalaam
