If not, just do it.
We will go on to the next four presentations.

I had the chance to taste Kheer many times, and I always found it very delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing the recipe: I will now going to try it myself!
Although I am not Muslim, I am a big fan of Ramadan pastries, which are very easy to find in France. Have you come across any in Japan?
There is a Mosque beside Gifu University. As far as I know every year Ramadan parties are arranged by Muslim communities of different countries including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia there.
DeleteThank you for presentation. It's my fist time learning about Eid. In your presentation, you mentioned that Eid is held two times in the 10th and 12th month of the year, respectively. I'd like to ask if there is any special significance in two months, and Eid in the 12th month highlights themes of obedience, sacrifice, and compassion for the less fortunate, what is the themes of the Eid in the 10th month?

DeleteHajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, making it a fundamental act of worship for Muslims. The Hajj occurs annually during the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Specifically, the key rituals occur from the 8th to the 12th (or 13th) of Dhul-Hijjah. Performing Hajj purifies the pilgrim of sins, symbolizing a fresh start in life. Its a great opportunity to restart a new life for all, especially who committed many sins in life. Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered one of the holiest months for Muslims. It is a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Fasting during Ramadan, known as Sawm, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is obligatory for all adult Muslims, except those who are exempt (e.g., the sick, travelers, pregnant or nursing women, etc.). After one month of fasting we can eat daily from the 1st date of 10th month. Actually both of the festivals are very important and they have long Historial background and religious significance. I tried to explain in short . If want to know more please let me know.
DeleteThank you for your presentation. I’ve heard a lot about the Eid festival from my Muslim friends, but I’m not familiar with Kheer. I’d love to learn more what is the origin of making Kheer such a special dish during Eid celebrations.
ReplyDeleteKheer is a very special dish in South Asia especially in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. On the occasion of Eid, Muslim people enjoy different types of sweet dishes throughout the world. As Bangladesh is located in South Asia, we enjoy Kheer along with other traditional and local sweet dishes on the occasion of Eid.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteNow that I know how to make Eid in detail, I will try to make it next time.
In the photo on the fifth slide, there is a flower-like object on top of the Eid.
What kind of flower is this?
Thank you so much for your precise observation. The flower is dried rose petal. There are two reasons for adding dry rose petals: decoration and flavour of rose.
DeleteHowever, this is optional. The addition of rose petals depends on the preferences of individuals.
DeleteThank you for your presentation related to the Eid al-Adha and the KHEER recipe. If I may ask, from your own experience, what challenges do Muslims face when celebrating Eid in non-Muslim countries like Japan?
ReplyDeleteWhat a good topic you have presented , What types of nuts or dry fruits do you like to add to your kheer? Many people add cashews, almonds, or raisins for texture and flavor.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your presentation!
ReplyDeleteI apologize if my question sounds impolite, as I am not very familiar with this topic.
I think kheer is relatively easy to digest, so it may be suitable as a food to eat right after Ramadan. I wonder if other foods eaten during Eid Festival are also easy to digest.
