C’mon its time to pray
Magreib time is moving away
Just wait Im almost done
Please just 1 more savory bun
Remember Salaatul Awaabeen
An opportunity for us to strengthen our Deen
Just 6 Rakaats,hardly much pain
And 12 years sawaab to your name
Just wait! My samoosas are running away
Don’t forget I was fasting the whole long day!
Some time for ALLAH’s words wont you spare
It’s the month of the Qur’aan, don’t you care!
What!These pies I can’t waste!
My favorite I at least have to taste
Some Zikr to enlighten your heart?
A few moments for taleem wont you part?
Not now! A good time it doesn’t seem
I’m just about to tuck in to my delicious haleem
The month is over much too fast
And 1 more Ramadhaan has already passed
Wasn’t it such a spiritual feat?
Oh Definitely! But atleast now I can eat!
Hahaha
I love it, lol.
on November 1, 2004 10:00 AMCool poem but all the food imagery is a bit difficult to swallow while fasting! jk.
on November 1, 2004 10:22 AMMmmmmm...buns, samosas, pies, and haleem...great poem...

'Can you write another one on nihari and lassi please?'
I know whats lassi is but im abit confused about nihari.Anyways also forgot about the sharbat,the falooda,the firni, the bajias,the mince samoosas;the potatoe samoosaas,the chicken samoosas,the cheese and corn samoosas,the daywara,the cutlets,the puri patta,the kebaabs, the bugers,the shawarmas,the pizzas,the FOOD,FOOD and MORE FOOD..Subhanallah..and there are people who dont know where there next iftaar is coming from.
May ALLAH give us victory over our nafs and grant us the ability to follow the sunnah in all facets of our life.May HE protect us from overeating.May HE make us realise the true Spirit of Ramadhaan and make us gain the maximum benefit of this precious month.
Ameen.
Salaam, great funny poem
"It cant be an iftaar without samosas" - me
on November 1, 2004 9:41 PMMmmmmm....sharbat, falooda, firni, mince samosas, chicken samosas, dhai baray, cutlets, shawarmas, kababs, pizzas...this message board is even better than the poem...great message board...

We need some hunger management tehory in this thread...
Just remembered what iftar equals to a khaleeji:
HAREEESA!!!!
(and not the sweet stuff Eqyptians apparently call hareesa as well.. copycats).
:D

SubhanAllah......
Whoever didnt make it tonight to hear Sh Jamal missed out BIG time.......
May Allah(swt) preserve our blessed shuyukh, that serve as reminders of our TRUE tradition, and exemplify what this deen is all about......
this week, i think all of ISRU had their hands tied with the fastathon. there wasn't even an e-mail sent out for the fastathon.
ameen to preserving the scholars of the people of tradition.
