This bubu was too beautiful not to wear again. It radiates sunshine and summer flowers.
Plus, good memories are attached to this fit. The first time I wore it was about a year ago when my eldest completed her first memorization of the Quran in Medina Baye (Kaolack), Senegal.
Eid Mubarak, y’all
May Allah allow us to see Dhul-Hijjah again and invite us to His blessed house.
It’s been more than 10 years since we’ve been using these stainless steel food trays when attending community iftars.
Imagine the impact of a whole masjid making this small change!
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.”
– Sunan Ibn Mājah
May Allah accept this as a small, consistent deed. Ameen 🤲🏽
Would you mind if your masjid started using reusable plates for Ramadan iftars?
I take these two to every iftar.
Here are the basic, simple tools of a Green Ramadan: a reusable water bottle and a stainless steel spork.
Whether I can fix my own plate at an iftar or I’m given a pre-packaged iftar meal, I never need a single-use water bottle or throw-away cutlery.
I usually just carry the reusable water bottle or put it in a backpack. The spork, I can just stash in my purse. It has a cover with a small carabiner attached.
Traveling or staying local, Sip & Stick are my two faithful companions.
(Truth be told, I usually take these two wherever I go all year round.)
