i had some sharing of thoughts among a few sisters about FOOD...the thing that makes everything turns from black to white...a frown to a smile...

"Maka hendaklah manusia itu memperlihatkan makanannya" [80:24]

generally.....despite many types of soil in this world...the word 'soil' still refers to the same soil that we step on everyday...the soil that corpses are buried in...the same soil that plants are planted everywhere in this world for the FOOD of human beings..

imagine...the same soil and water produce different types of plants and trees....some of which differ in colour (red, yellow, orange, purple!)...in size (watermelon, grapes, grains, sesame seed!)...in shape (pineapple, sugar cane, durian, banana)...in the use of parts (roselle flower to make concentrated juice, pandan leave for aroma, coconut water inside coconut shell for thirst quenching, external seed which can be eaten!)...and believe me...there are a lot more to be explored and thought of..........who made those...???...subhanAllah...

"Kemudian Kami tumbuhkan (dengan air hujan itu) berjenis-jenis aneka macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Makanlah dan gembalakanlah haiwan-haiwanmu. Sungguh pada yang demikian itu terdapat tanda-tanda (kebesaran Allah) bagi orang yang berakal" [20:53-54]

another thing that one should ponder is how a spoonful of nasi lemak for breakfast is...there?....did it come from a blink of an eye? or snap between your fingers?.....how a slice of cake is made?......

well...lets just take one simple kuih for an example.....CURRYPUFF or known as KARIPAP in Malay..(nyum nyum)...which only cost you approximately from RM0.40 to RM1...?
BUT...have you ever thought of...how its made...?....well...here goes some of the ingrediants...and the INGREDIANTS...

again and again...it would come back to THE CREATOR of this world...and without His will....we could not even get to eat one spoonful of rice....appreciate what we have....waste not a little..and put shukr(content and thankful to GOD) in our hearts...anything...anywhere....anytime...

"Dan suatu tanda (kebesaran Allah) bagi mereka adalah Bumi yang mati. Kami hidupkan Bumi itu dan Kami keluarkan darinya biji-bijian, maka dari (biji-bijian) itu mereka makan. Dan Kami jadikan padanya di Bumi itu kebun-kebun kurma dan anggur dan Kami pancarkan padanya beberapa mata air, agar mereka dapat makan dari buahnya, dan dari hasil usaha tangan mereka. Maka mengapa mereka tidak bersyukur?" [36:33-35]

thank you Allah...may you let us be among those who are thankful to every single ni'mat you have granted us with....
