    In the Deep Desert

    July 8, 2021 /

    With the blessed first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah around the corner, we would like to share a poem to remember to never despair of God’s help and mercy. May all of our prayers be answered during these days and may you have a blessed Eid ahead. Hajar In the deep desert, unseen she prayedWife of Abraham, all aloneNothing around her, but the dry hot sandBaby Ishmael crying of thirst To her God she turnedShe lifted up her trembling headIn her sweet sad voiceBegged God in her tearful prayer“O Merciful, please help us’ She searched for waterbetween the hills of Safa and MarwaReturning to her child in despairWater gushed forth from…

“Food is what brings people together.” @hayask “Food is what brings people together.” @hayasktchn took the words out of our mouth with this statement! Yesterday's workshop was a wonderful gathering of people from different places, different cultures, and different personal food histories. When you hear or try to explain what your food history is you often tend to explain it through the lens of a nation, or a group of people. But that isn’t necessarily your individual food history. This is what we have discussed during the first part of our workshop with @sufra_kitchen . What are some food items we remember from our childhood? What was our mother’s cooking like? How did we learn about cooking? These were some of the questions that were reflected upon. We are excited getting together again next week inshaAllah to discuss our findings about our own personal food history through speaking with our family members, going through cookbooks and pictures from our own childhood..etc. Thank you to everybody who has joined💚, and a big thank you to @salmaserry for sharing her knowledge with us. We are looking forward to seeing you all again next Saturday💚. Image credit: www.yaansoon.com
Do you remember which dish would be waiting for yo Do you remember which dish would be waiting for you at every family event growing up? Can you still remember the breakfast every Sunday morning at your grandparents' house? We're sure the answers to these questions bring up fond memories.💚 Our own personal food history has a relationship with our societies, politics, and even our identities. But how can materials from the past such as cookbooks and film be used to learn about food and its influence? How can our memory and oral history be used to inform us how food is a central part of our past and our identities today? Join us for our two-part workshop on the 16th and 23rd of October at 7PM GMT+2 with @sufra_kitchen ,who will provide us with a guide to approach food and history as means to reflect on our past, make sense of our presence, and the tools to weave together a piece that speaks of our own personal food histories. 'About the facilitator' Salma Serry is a food researcher, writer, and award-winning filmmaker. She has an MA from the American University in Cairo and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in food studies at Boston University. Her work focuses on the socio-politics and culture of food on Egypt's 20th century and the Arab Gulf. She is, also, the founder of @sufra_kitchen , a social platform that invites followers to insights of food history and culture in SWANA. 'About the registration fees' One third of the proceeds of this event will be used to fund our current project "A Guide to Clean Farms in and around Cairo". Another third is an honorarium for the workshop's facilitator. The last third is used to cover the costs for the event planning. The registration link is in the link in our bio.

Tayyib Society went to L.A. FARMS! Two of our memb Tayyib Society went to L.A. FARMS! Two of our members went on the road to the West Coast in the Western Cape to visit @la_farms , a 1800- hectares farm which is very well known for their Wagyu meat. During their visit, they learnt about what it means to be a regenerative farm, how to raise Wagyu, the advantages and disadvantages of being located at the coast, a so called "maternity ward" that's present on the farm and so much more! Go click the link in our bio to learn more about @la_farms . To our South African followers, this one here is for you!💚 Picture 2: The fruit orchard present on the farm Picture 3: A baby Wagyu Picture 4: A pile of manure that's used as organic fertilizer Picture 5: The curious sheep (we'll post a video soon about how these sheep have welcomed us 😉) #capetown #westcoast #southafrica #lafarms #regenerativefarming #wagyu #ethicalconsumption #wellbeing #tayyib #tayyibsociety
Caption repost from @ayeina_official "I'm remind Caption repost from @ayeina_official "I'm reminded of Allah's infinite mercy in this postpartum period. When Allah lets you take a break from His obligations when no one else will do that. We are expected to be present for each of our other obligations, but the Most Merciful Lord relieves us of His obligation because He knows that showing up physically in this difficult period of life won't be easy. On top of that, He also made it known to all, so no one else would pressurize or judge us for taking a break. Because He knows that we are still worshipping Him by taking care of the amaanah He gave us. . . It's a lesson for us all on what to learn from our Merciful Lord. What a contrast between the Creator and the creation! In the eyes of others, perhaps you are expected to still cook, clean, organise, manage, and do everything just like before, but Allah knows He has given your body a bigger job to do and hence out of everyone, YOU could use a break - when the rest of the world is still expected to stand in front of Him 5 times a day! . . It feels like a royal maternity leave that started way before this responsibility was actually given to us. Every year, Allah gives us more than 80 days off of prayers without the expectation of making them up later on. Although we could have not chosen this duty of bearing children by the end of it all, yet we were given all the benefits as our bodies prepared for this massive honour. Or we could have not been given this duty of child bearing at all by Allah Himself and yet we could still be eligible to enter Jannah because ibaadah comes in so many forms... . . SubhaanAllah, this is just a fraction of His Mercy...The vastness of it all baffles me... Muhammad ﷺ said: "Verily, there are 100 (parts of) mercy for Allah, and it is one part of this mercy by virtue of which there is mutual love between the people and 99 reserved for the Day of Resurrection." [Hadith; Muslim 2753a] . . May all of us be among those who are showered 99 parts of His Mercy in Aakhirah too!"

Where do you get your food from? The shorter the f Where do you get your food from? The shorter the food chain, the better! That's what inspired us to create our guide of organic/clean farms in and around Cairo. As consumers, we wanted to know where our food comes from. There's a lot of demand, a lot of marketing labels such as "organic", "fresh" and "natural" being used, but there are no facts nor is there enough transparency online that supports these labels. We didn't want to be left in the dark! We wanted as detailed information as possible about these farms. We wanted to know WHO and HOW our food is grown. Hence we created this guide: the first, and hopefully not the last, in Cairo that will offer this information. With this guide we hope to give other consumers the transparency about the way their food is grown.🌱 If you like what we do, go ahead and click the link in our bio to support our campaign on LaunchGood.
