Alhamdulillah for Garlic

 

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing. (Quran 2:61). 

Garlic has traditionally been used as a natural health remedy to treat various ailments for centuries both as a fresh plant and as a supplement. Research continues to demonstrate its antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-tension and anti-blood coagulation properties. It also regulates blood sugar, is high source of vitamin C and iodine and overall strengthens your immune system.  It truly is one of nature's miracle foods.

Alhamdulillah for Watermelons

Watermelons are not only a refreshing way to break your fast during Ramadan, but provide you with a boost of vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, B and B6. It also contains the highest concentration of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that is known to fight heart disease and several types of cancer. Watermelons also are a great source of potassium that help maintain a proper electrolyte and acid-base balance, perfect for rehydrating after fasting. This summer put down the deep-fried sugary sweets and grab a slice of refreshing watermelon instead.

Alhamdulillah for Spiders

"The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew." (Quran 29:41)

“This is how Allāh described the idolators in their reverence of gods besides Him, hoping that they would help them and provide for them, and turning to them in times of difficulties. In this regard, they were like the house of a spider, which is so weak and frail, because by clinging to these gods they were like a person who holds on to a spider's web, who does not gain any benefit from that. If they knew this, they would not take any protectors besides Allāh.” - Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Alhamdulillah for Snow

Snow is a beautiful sign of Allah. It covers the landscape in a pristine white blanket and leaves behind a fresh, crystalline landscape. Though Canada may be known for its cold harsh winters, the average snow cover has been declining over the past several decades due to climate change. This has resulted in more temperate winters and below-average, seasonal snowfall amounts across the country. The next time it snows, take a moment to reflect on the uniqueness of each snowflake, the serenity of the landscape and the purity of the air as signs from Allah.

Alhamdulillah for Icicles

Icicles form when ice or snow is melted and the runoff flows to an area below freezing causing the water to refreeze. Icicles come in various shapes and sizes depending on the surface, flow and direction of the melted water. As most of the country heads back into another deep freeze, take a moment to reflect on the simple purity of icicles whose form and evolving shape reminds us of how great things are built from small actions.
