Ramadan Journal 23-26

 23.From Where I Stand:

I was standing in line at Primark yesterday, where they have baskets of lip glosses, argan oil, and candies, when I saw packs of Haribo Gold Gummy Bears with a halal sticker on them!  The ingredient list on the back also said halal beef gelatin.  They used to be sold in Asda, but haven't been there for awhile, so I was excited to see these.  Southall also has some.


24. Watching:

I haven't been watching much tv in Ramadan.  Instead I've been playing and listening to Nouman Ali Khan's Gems of the Quran videos

25.  Drink:

Today's smoothie was one frozen banana, 1tabspn  peanut butter, a teaspoon of slivered almonds, and milk.

26.  Out and About:

This weekend I went to Southall to get some gifts, I was looking for cotton shalwar suits and found a few. And I got a child-sized red janamaaz (prayer mat) and scarf for a little girl.   I also got some lightweight summer scarves for myself and friends.
