Embodying the Qur'an

Few weeks back, a talk about Qura'n in our lives was held at KUIS.
It was great, listening to talks in Arabic.
No language in the world is more valuable than Arabic.
I would like to share a few ways to memorize the Qur'an effectively.

# Pure intention.
# Master the pronunciation and regulations in reciting the Qur'an.
# Start by memorizing the 5 'juzuk's from behind.
# Then, memorize the remaining 25 'juzuk's. From al-Baqarah until al-Jatsiyah.
# Read repeatedly about half a page. Then, recite without looking to the page.
# 'Collect' halves of pages at night and compile them into 2 or 3 pages in the morning.
# Be consistent.

FOOD

Ramadhan.
The fasting month.
Yet.
Some Muslims mistook it as the food month.
Anyhow, this is to complete the needs of a particular subject at my university.

 Favorite starter. Nothing beats the magic of natural homegrown banana. Banana bared at the small orchard behind my house. It helps keeping my tummy works effectively.

Favorite drink, any hot drink. I have always preferred a hot cup of teh tarik. It soothes the throat and keeps my voice nice and clear. I've been avoiding cold drinks as much as possible for the past 6 years.

My favorite main dish, anything other than white rice. I started my life overseas, so rice was not the first food that got into my body. So I chose pizza as the subject of this writing. A pizza is best eaten warm.
A pizza usually consists of a mix of healthy ingredients. Most pizzas will not harm the body, inside out.

As for desert. I just could not resist the cute, chubby, creamy cream puff sold at a bakery shop close to home. It is made with bread and cream only. In a nutshell, I only consume healthy food and drinks.

Thank you.
