Breaking Fast At Serena Hotel: Luxurious Iftar Experience In Gilgit! The Food & Ambience Was Amazing

[@ef2883]

Muhammad(ﷺ): “Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and free the slave. Assist any person oppressed, muslim or non-muslim.”

[@tanzeelsalfi]

Assist any person oppressed, muslim or non-muslim. is not part of the hadees

A Pakistani friend of mine told me that in Pakistan you will not be a tourist but a guest of everyone. Now I wait he invite me to Pakistan 😅. Love from Germany 🇩🇪🇵🇰

[@carriepatsalis]

That’s such a sweet thing to say 😍

[@shamsher_khan_janjua]

Indeed

[@hashimisrar2222]

That's absolutely true especially when you visit northern region of Pakistan like Gilgit abd Chitral, people are very hospitable and generous and more important thing is that there is no crime.

[@zayedtokie552]

P.S. Azan is the call far prayer. This happens 5 times a day. So there is usually five Adan (Azan/prayer call) per day in Islam. And the particular one is the Maghrib Adan or the prayer after sunset. Let's all thank the All mighty and remember him in our hearts.

[@carriepatsalis]

Thanks for the info! I didn’t know the sunset one had a specific name 🥰

[@zayedtokie552]

@@carriepatsalis thank you for your interest in learning. 1) Fajr (just before sunrise) 2) Dhuhr (around noon time) 3) Asar (sometime before sunset) *4)Maghrib (after sunset) and 5) Isha (before nightfall) That's the five times we remember our Lord and pray.

[@arshadmahmood2947]

The Azan is the “call to prayer” As soon as the sun sets it’s time to eat and also time for the 4th prayer of the day called Magrib

[@alizaidi4419]

Carrie! Love the fact that you are getting involved and fasting. You will definitely feel the Eid cheer and feel the elation that millions of other muslims feel around the world. I wish you the very best for the rest of your trip. Thank you for showing the world this side of Pakistan!!

I'm incredibly jealous as I'm British Pakistani and you've been to the country my grandparents and I've never been, I find northern Pakistan as rather peaceful and appealing, that is one place that I must visit

You must go! I know too many British Pakistanis who haven’t been and everyone is missing out! The north in particular is an absolute joy 😍.. one of my best friends is British Pakistani.. hasn’t been and was terrified for me going! I have told her to get over it! 😆

There is a state in India called Mizoram and I am crazy about their music. Their music is like 1970s USA. My favorite songs from Mizoram are the following: 1) Kimkima: I zun ngaih lunglen (2019) 2) K Hminga and Sangtei Khuptong: Awm lo Tala (2020) 3) Cassettes: E Khai (2021) 4) Zaii Hauchhum and Vanlalhmangaiha: Hamngaihte Hmangaihna (2022) 5) Saiwanah and Mary Dawngi: Ka Pa Khuma (2023), this is my favorite song from 2023. I have also created these playlists 1) Mizo 25 Artists 25 Songs. 2) Mizo top 75 songs 3) Mizo 460 songs. There is a musician from Mizoram who wears a mask called HOM, he is like Marshmello.

Narrated Imam Malik that Isa (Jesus) ibn Maryam said: "Do not speak much without mention of Allah for you will harden your hearts, and a hard heart is far from Allah but you do not know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people as if you were lords, but look at your wrong actions as if you were slaves. Some people are afflicted by wrong action and some are protected from it. So be merciful to the people of affliction and praise Allah for His protection."

[@carriepatsalis]

I prefer eating food at home. You fast for 13 to 14 hours. Your intestine cannot accept alot of food Marriott hotel karachi is near to my home. They offer a wide variety of food but i prefer eating food at home. And at iftar i only eat a few items. No samosas no pakoras. No dahi bhara and no fruit juice. These items contain alot calories and my intestine cannot accept alot of heavy food. Because you become habitual to not eating food for 13 to 14 hours.

[@carriepatsalis]

Yes I can see that now.. you can definitely feel uncomfortable going from one extreme to another
