November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Would anyone know what the red and green marks on food items especially chocolate wrappers mean?  Just wondering if it's got anything to do with Halal and Haram foods.  More concerned about chocolates because I see it most often while buying it for my nieces and nephews.

Yeah brother, for we Muslims it does have to do with Halal and Haram. 

In chocolates red indicates that it does or might contain ingredients consisting of animal extracts like gelatin. Green indicates the product contains no animal products.   

Such red and green dots are seen on several other food packages as well.  Red signifies non-vegetarian contents while the green indicates a fully vegetarian item.

You might also often find fresh samosas sold at stores carrying the red and green mark.  Red mark indicates minced meat samosas while green mark indicates veggie samosas.

Thanks a lot sister.  This puts my mind at ease.  And what about those chocolate wrappers which don't have red & green indications e.g. cadburys?  Any idea?

Cadbury .. yeah.  Good you asked.  I forgot to specify it.  Well, most of Cadbury products which we would buy for the kids are Halal.  But there are several cadbury stuff that are Haram too.  The Haram ones are usually recognizable from their names e.g. wine gums or fruit gums which contain either alcohol or gelatin.  You can get a full list of Halal and Haram Cadbury products in the list given in the following link:

http://www.eathalal.ca/2009/01/cadbury-products-halal-or-haram.html

The weird Haram items listed in red are not the sort of stuff we buy anyway.  The kind of chocolates we get for the kids and also sometimes much ourselves are all in the Halal category.
