McDonalds Uses Pork in their Yogurt!

Yes you read it right, McDonalds uses pork in their Yogurt.
Every once in a while, I seem to have to address this issue with someone who doesn't know. Okay so Listen up and pay attention.  McDonalds uses an ingredient called Gelatin in their Yogurt product. Gelatin is a protein obtained from Pigs or Cows, and McDonalds makes no secret of using this ingredient, its even listed on their website. Now you may say, well how can you tell its not taken from Cows and not Pigs? Guess which animal is cheaper and more abundant? You are probably eating the pig, its more popular in western countries and cheaper. Chances are the cow protein is only used in middle eastern countries. So if you are not in these countries and happen to visit a McDonald's, just avoid anything with a yogurt base and that includes their delicious fruit smoothies. 
Happy Eating everyone!

  • When you have sincerity, the words of Allah will move you.
  • We were created with purpose, Develop a relationship with the one who created you.

The Origins of Hajj - Chanzo cha Hajj

A lot of us have not gone to Hajj, if you ask us, a lot of times we feel like we are not ready. However, when you hear the stories of the historical events of the rituals you go through in Hajj, it is like being there and reliving history. I mean with air conditioning, trains and cars aside, we are living in the future after all, it is still rewarding. May Allah, grant us all the opportunity to experience this history. The video below talks about the Story of the family of Nabii Ibrahim, whom is the Prophet that we re-enact his life events in 2016.
I wish all our eager Hajj goers a wonderful Hajj, May Allah bless your journey and ease your trials.

Wengi wetu hatujaenda Ku Hiji, ukituuliza mara nyingi tunasema hatuko tayari.  Lakini ukisikia hadithi za matukio ya enzi hizo ambayo sasa hivi imekuwa mila tunazofata tukienda Kuhiji, ni kama ulikuwepo,  ile Siku hajar (Mwenyezi  Mungu Amrehemu) alivyo kuwa anahangaika na mwanae. Au ile siku Nabii Ibrahim(AS) alivyo kuwa anaenda kumchinja mwanae. Na apo mtu unaona maisha yako magumu wakati, wala huja pewa mtihani. Mwenyezi Mungu atujaalia wote tupate hii fursa ya kwenda ku experience Historia yake.
Nawatakia waenda Hija wote Haji Njema, Allah awa shushie baraka zake kwenye huu msafara na ayafanye majaribu yote mtakayo pata huko yawe mepesi.

The video below is a must watch, it is the story of Abraham.
