Haleem for Iftar

Today is the fourth day of Ramadan here in London, my second since I reverted to Islam. Myself and my wife woke at half past 3 to take Sehri and pray Fajr namazz. Our sink is broken at the moment so we had to wash the plates in the garden with the hose! I managed to get a few hours more sleep before going to work. To break the fast we took dates (as one should) and then ate haleem, an asian dish made from wheat, meat, lentils and spices, bahut lazeez as they say in Urdu.

I should probably take a few moments to introduce myself as well. I am working in London as a Software Engineer and living with my wife, who is Indian. We met in university 2 years ago and got married this year. She is the one who taught me about Islam and for that I am very grateful. I guess I will reveal more later on (and try to talk about some more interesting stuff) but it's getting late and I need to be up at 4 again for another fast.

Allah Hafiz,
