Ramadan

Superstar of Ramadan: The evergreen haleem

The use of dry fruits as a topping is definitely a Middle Eastern influence. The Kolkata-style haleem differs from the Hyderabadi one in the method of preparation, texture, and use of spices.

Eid ul-Fitr ~ A festival of love and harmony!

Eid is celebrated for expressing gratitude to the Almighty Allah for all that we have. It is believed that Muslims were commanded by Allah to continue fasting till the last day of Ramadan.

Message of Ramadan 

Ramadan provides an internal retreat where the mind and its natural ‘thirst‘ for knowledge, awakening and reason is given greater precedence over the physical needs and desires of the body needs which are regularly served but rarely satisfied. Human desire in its bare essence is animalistic and somewhat selfish. It has been the evolution of teachings of faith that has kept in check much of our primitive need for constant self-gratification  

Celebrating Eid, against the backdrop of Coronavirus

As per the instructions issued by one of the largest mosques in India, the Jama Masjid in the Capital, each member of the community is advised to offer prayers for Jamat-ul-Vida and Eid al-Fitr from their homes.
