Ramadan Preparations and the Meaning of Ramadan

This year's preparations for Ramadan 2022 are my first on Shef.com. Shef.com has allowed me to explore my culinary talent and business savvy with what recipes sell. With an MBA and culinary skills in the kitchen, I have worked at 4 restaurants in my lifetime. I have finally been able to sell my own recipes with Shef that has allowed me to let my contained talent flow.

Charity
Please order from my menu and know that a portion of your sales go to those in need for food donations during the entire Holy Month of Ramadan as they eat of what is provided to them to complete their fasts all over the world. Rhia's Halal Mediterranean donates food to mosques in the USA and money for meals to the poor populations in Europe, Pakistan located in South Asia, and also Africa as they eat of what bounty God (Allah- Creator of the Universe) provides to them.

RAMADAN IS SPECIAL TO ME EACH YEAR 
This Ramadan 
-is special as a spiritual journey in connection with God (Allah- Creator of the Universe) 
-is a first ever for me with Shef.com 
-and is the second Ramadan without my mother for whom I pray she rest eternally in the seven heavens in the highest level she can attain as she passed away 2 years ago just 8 months after sending me to my husband's home when I got married 

THE MEANING OF RAMADAN 
This Ramadan 
-continues to be a spiritual journey every year in experiencing the suffering the poor and needy go through with hunger by fasting for no nutrition from foods or drinks from sunrise to sunset for 29/30 days until the sighting of the moon 
-becomes a time of the year where it is more important to pray on time 5x daily and add additional prayers 
-is all about the Spiritual Creator's Oneness 
-is a time when the Holy Quran is completed reading once with 30 parts and 114 chapters which is considered Divine Guidance sent down by Angel Gabriel 
-is a time of the year where it is a must for those who can afford it to donate money for meals or food to the poor, especially the poor who are fasting with less foods to eat to break their fast. It is a must to donate one meal for each day of fasting missed at the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan. 
-2 and 1/2 months later is the time of the year when annual or once in a lifetime pilgrimage to the House of Abraham is made, considered the first Mosque or Place of Worship to God in Mecca, Saudi Arabia considered one of the holiest sites in the world such as Madinah, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. 
-is compulsory upon practicing Muslims to participate in prayer and meditation, fasting, and giving of Alms for Zakat or Sadqa to those in need 

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON RAMADAN. 

MAY YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR LOVED ONES, AND THOSE IN YOUR INNER AND OUTER CIRCLES HAVE A BLESSED JOURNEY IN LIFE REGARDLESS OF YOUR FAITH OR BELIEFS BECAUSE RAMADAN IS A TIME OF THE YEAR TO RESTORE OUR FAITH AND COMPASSION IN HUMANITY TO RESPECT ALL FORMS OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS CREATED TO MAKE SURE NOBODY EXPERIENCES THE SUFFERING OF HUNGER IN POVERTY!
