Excellent idea… as usual. Knowledge that’s not practiced is not only of no benefit but becomes a witness against its owner. May Allah save us from learning and not practicing.

Assalamualaikum
I would like to urge the people of the Bangladeshi community to understand.
That the mentality of receiving iftar food from the brides side particularly the groom side expects and demanding iftar is totally unacceptable and it should be educated to
The people concerned may Allah s.w.t give us tawfik to avoid this un necessary tradition/cultural practice and get engaged more in ibaadah in this month ameen.

It involves the family of the lady to deliver a very large iftar to the lady’s in laws. The inlaws invite many ppl and if they don’t recipe this iftari they will tease the lady abt it and they will tease her husband. Feelings of jealousy arise when the couple see others receiving large iftari. The persons preparing and sending the iftar feel a financial burden as well as the stress of preparing food. There is also the matter of the inlaws mistreating or poking fun at their dughter in law for the inadequate iftar. It wasn’t extravagant enough, not enough food etc. What a hurtful and horiible practice. I wish this would be discussed and people would realise it is unnecessary.

My understanding is that “Haleem/Haliim” is essentially a Middle Eastern dish, hariisah being another variety of it. Whilst the Middle Eastern (and Persian) Haliim contains wheat, the Subcontinental has daal as well, the most renowned being the Hyderabadi Haliim. The word Haleem gets its name from persian for ‘patience’ because of time and effort to prepare it.

I must commend you on this write up. It is the reality of what is happening in muslim world. I realize is almost same all over. People are more interested in piling food items and sallah clothes than planning for ibadaat. I also like your advise that women and those preparing meals also need to create time for ibadaat. Most of our wives are fully engaged in kitchen during Ramadan and they have less time for ibaadaat,zhikr,duas,etc. I hope we and our wives should correct this.
JazakAllahu Khairan.
