2010
World Cup is History
After
all is said and done, the four week spectacle
of the first World Cup hosted on the African
continent ended with the glittering closing
ceremony and the final match on Sunday
11/07/2010. The event that enthralled
the world and gripped the psyche of our
nation evoked wide-ranging reactions that
served to reflect the diversity and tolerance
of fellow South Africans.
Amongst
the Muslim community too, some heaped
accolades on the state of the facilities,
organizational flair, many fence sitters
came off their perch and jettisoned their
previously held negative views, some remained
apathetic and then there were the extremist
prophets of doom. They must be surprised
that the skies didn’t fall down
on South Africa.
Muslims
as a collective people did not make the
decision to bid and host the World Cup,
but reacted positively and seized the
opportunities in their own ways. Some
arranged to voluntarily meet and greet
visitors, dished out important information
on location of Musaajid (mosques)
Halaal outlets, hosted community events
for the visitors, supplied Da’wah
information and ensured availability of
Halaal food at the stadia.
But
what use is history if we do not draw
lessons and learn from it. Amongst the
lessons were the principles of national
focus and the political will at the highest
level to implement a plan.
Muslims
must be agents of change and transformation
in keeping with our purpose of being on
earth amongst which is enjoining good,
and forbidding evil and upliftment of
fellow human beings.
We
have the message and the method in the
Noble Quran and the perfect example of
the Prophet (Peace be upon Him)
to tackle the present challenges, be it
in education, xenophobia, poverty eradication
and provision of world class Halaal services.
Remember
like the World Cup the spectators were
many but the players that provided the
action, just a few.
‘O
Muslims, it’s our time to compete
in good works and deeds to win the world
cup of being the best of people for all
mankind, Insha Allah (God willing).

(Sayings
and Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him)
Anas
radiyallahu anhu narrates that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
“The most knowledgeable
of the Ummah in regards Halaal and Haraam
is Muaaz bin Jabal.”
[Musnad Ahmad]
Comment:
The obligation of learning Halaal and
Haraam is not mere ritual, but is treading
in the footsteps of one to whom Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
“O my son, by Allah, I love you.”
May
Allah guide us to live in imitation of
these personalities who should be our
role-models, that we too become beloved
to Allah and His Rasul (sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam)

Interesting
"bites" to whet the appetite
for knowledge.
Nothing
can be more international than the human
preoccupation of cooking. Dating back
to 6000 BC, dishes have been developed
in various areas of the world. Here are
a few of them:
Indian:
Pilau/Pulao – seasoned rice with
added meat and vegetables.
Indonesian:
Bami goring – savoury spiced dish
based on fried noodles.
Japanese:
Teriyaki – skewered and grilled
slices of marinated meat or shellfish.
French:
Roulade – slice or joint
of meat rolled up, often round a filling.

What
do Muslims think about MARY the mother of JESUS
Muslims
respect and admire Mary, the mother of Prophet
Jesus (may the peace and blessings of God
be upon them both). She is the only woman
after whom a chapter of the Qur'an is named.
Mary
came from the family of Imran, a descendant
of Aaron, the brother of Moses. She grew up
in the care of her uncle, Prophet Zechariah,
a priest in the temple, and father of John the
Baptist. God Speaks of Mary in the Qur'an in
the most noble of terms:
“Behold!
The angels said: “O Mary! Allah giveth
thee Glad tidings of a word from Him: his name
will be Christ Jesus. The son of Mary, held
in honour in this world and the hereafter and
of (the company of) those Nearest to Allah;
“He
shall speak to the people in childhood and in
maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of
the righteous”.
She
said: “O Lord! How shall I
have a son when no man hath touched me?”
He said: “ even so: Allah createth what
he willeth: when he hath decreed a plan, he
but saith to it, ‘Be’, and it is!”

3 Aali-Imran, verse 45-47

SUNKIST
Restaurant, Coffee Shop Conference and Function
Hire
For
those that reminisce of the halcyon days
of the authentic cuisine of Lorenzo Marques
now (Mozambique) and those that have heard
of it from their parents and peers or those
that just wish to experience a true culinary
experience, then it has arrived.
Dishing
up arguably the best ever Portuguese style
cuisine South of the equator, a husband
and wife team, (he of a prominent family
in the Meat industry and she from Mozambique
of renowned cooks), using their own blend
of spices, sourced and ground themselves,
painstakingly marinated and delectably flame
grilled on charcoal for an unrivalled eating
experience. This is enhanced by the elevated
setting of the restaurant just metres from
the shore of the Indian Ocean where you
hear and see the waves or can even dip your
feet while you wait.
Apart
from an a la carte menu of the
traditional fare of succulent prawns and
fish, African chicken and highest quality
meats, a popular breakfast menu starting
at a ridiculous R15.00 has been added to
cater for the beach walkers of the new promenade
that runs outside the restaurant.
The
venue has seating for between 75 to 100
people and is ideal for family get togethers
and corporate functions. Situated near the
Moses Mabhida stadium, it also attracts
after match fans including the Portuguese
World Cup fans recently who gave it a thumbs
up.

Durban
Red Curry - also known as Mother-in-law’s
tongue
Durban
is the acknowledged curry capital
of South Africa. Its curries have
a distinctive flavor as they are
an adaptation of the hot “peasant
curries” brought to the
shores by Indian immigrants beginning
in 1860.
Using
local ingredients the curries
are spicy red and pungent with
fiery dried chilies as a major
ingredient. Also used extensively
in curries for the famous Durban
bunny chow.
It
is used for mutton, lamb, chicken,
beef and seafood.
To make your own version of this
famous masala mix in the following
proportions.
3
tbs. curry powder
3 tbs. hot chili powder
1 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ginger powder
Yields
approximately 2 ½ cups.

masala red curry powder see

Look
good - feel good. Tips for
a sound mind in a sound
body.
Running
slows ageing process –
You know it…..let’s
do it
A
20 year study by the Stanford
University School of Medicine
found that people over 50
who ran regularly over several
years suffered fewer disabilities,
had a longer span of active
life and reduced their risk
of dying early by 50 percent
compared to those who were
inactive.
The
study by James Fries, MD,
an emeritus professor at
the medical school tracked
538 people over 50 who had
run several times a week
and compared them to a similar
group of non-runners.
What
the study found
As the subjects aged, the
health gap between the runners
and non-runners widened,
continuing even into their
90s. "We
did not expect this,"
said Fries, 69.
"The
health benefits of exercise
are greater than we thought."
He attributed this to runners
having a leaner body mass
and generally healthier
habits.
Running's
effect on longevity also
was more dramatic than the
researchers had expected
- nineteen years after the
study began, 34 percent
of the non-runners had died,
compared to just 15 percent
of the runners.
