#51 Abdul Hakim: Avoiding Curries, Prepping for Ramadan, Nutrition

[@FreshlyGrounded]

Towards the end of this episode we spoke of a hadith pertaining to blowing on food. Please note that we were having a discussion as a couple of brothers, not as people of knowledge and that you should always seek advice on Islamic matters and ahadeeth from people of knowledge.

I got my hijama done by brother abdul hakims wife and i can honestly say that the sister is such a beautiful soul and i want her to be my friend haha ❤️❤️ defo going back to the sister for future treatments

[@mariamk1231]

Socha Sanchez I was scared at first but it was completely fine!! It actually felt really relaxing because the sister gives you a little message at first. Because you cant eat couple of hours before, when the cups when on, I did feel abit light headed but when I ate after I felt fine! Dw sis you will be fine and I completely recommend sunnah remedies!!

[@rizwanayounus7244]

Haha, same here. I had cupping done by the sis too and she was a sweetheart!! Felt like I've known her since childhood. Abdul hakim too, mashallah a pure soul.

First time watching Freshly Grounded. I'm so glad that i started watching it from this episode. The nutrition advice from Abdul Hakim is on point. Coming from a Latin Background is the same for us. The bad habits are everywhere. I'm constantly dodging food at home. Guys check your labels. Use a scale. Eat moderately. Eat more green. Work out look after yourself.

I don’t know any Pakistani/Asian mother who uses pre-made curry sauce from a jar. The curry sauce is the base of the curry and is made of oil, fresh onions, garlic, ginger, tomato sometimes and fresh chillis and spices (no carbs or sugar in sight). Switching the typical vegetable oil to coconut oil is a good idea and also perhaps switching the white table salt to pink Himalayan salt, because the main problem with the curry sauce is too much salt and oil. However if you leave out the sauce completely then it’s not a curry anymore lol. Also a tip if you really want it to be healthy is switch up the oil for water coz that’s how my aunties make it for my grandad after his second heart attack.

Najrilla 28 tastes like normal salt to me

Wallahi I'm just listening to this and as I listen to Abdul Hakim he's a very knowledgable brother and he seems to come across as quite a natural at podcasting, it would be nice for him to be added to the team of hosts one day Insha'Allah

[@asimhussain523]

Faisal would you consider this I mean it would be more hassle for you to find a larger space to add Abdul Hakeem and guests,and you might have to invest in another mic and chair but wallahi it would be more enjoyable ( not saying it isn't) but mashallah he is a natural salam

[@DontAtMe]

Power rangers Maplin have a closing down sale what better time 😂😂

[@DrRana.]

Please consider the above Faisal, Brother Abdul hakim would be a great addition to your team 👌🏾

[@rukhsarsiddiq1266]

I love these podcasts. They’re so amazing and beneficial mashallah May Allah put barakah in this and make it even more successful ameen

[@lolibo476]

More abdul hakim plsssss

[@DrRana.]

Keep Abdul hakim coming back! Great personality and knowledgeable, Allah huma barak.

[@tiabarrish9516]

Ugh do you know how ridiculous it is to ask an arab about south asian cuisine thats been around for thousands of yrs, the richness and diversity which differ from north to south, region to region and non veg to vegetarian. 😩 The few stuff that person mentioned is already used in asian dishes fruit, nuts, coconut, brown rice etc

[@arabiyyah_thisaccountisnot1819]

jazakum Allah Khair Faisal and Sam for bringing this knowledgeable guy back again on freshly grounded 🙇 wallahi this episode is so beneficial,I hope you could get him back again too wallahi two episodes of Abdul Hakeem are not enough we need more episodes with him please :( may Allah SWT bless you guys and grant you the highest level of jannah alferdaus ammen. keep up the amazing work akhuan. salaam from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 to all my Muslim brothers and sisters.

[@Dirt2Deen2011]

Very informative interview MashAllah

[@mueez2873]

jazakallah khayr for this episode honestly abdul hakim is such a beautiful well manered individual, may allah bless him and his family.

[@mueez2873]

ameen

[@DontAtMe]

Prepping for Ramadan is key otherwise you'll be spending the beginning trying to figure out how to structure your days which can easily lead to procrastinating. Start now guys, may we all make it to Ramadan & may Allah make it easy and beneficial for all of us 🙏🏽

‘Sugar is sugar’ no it is not. The sugars naturally occurring from fruit is very different to processed white refined sugar added to foods. Liked this episode but there was some misinformation

[@asahnii7926]

YES!!!!!!

[@drauw]

Very relevant topics spoken about and sympathetic brothers, Allahumma barik

[@ihssxn94]

I'm still going up in numerical order but this was my favourite one so far :D also stopped listening to music thanks to freshly grounded.

[@ruqaiyahhussain4195]

Very good discussion About how to prepare for Ramadan And cutting on down unhealthy eating And also try be more Health conscious.

[@mariamkauser6971]

Asalaamwalaikum The brother was talking about ruqya and how people rely on it and how it helped the sister 'a little'... it's not right to undermine the strength of Quran recitation which is what ruqya basically is. The words of Allah (Ruqya) should not just be limited to 'jinn possession'' but holistic health. But yes I agree alongside other interventions. Amazing podcast nonetheless 😊

[@AryanKhilji596]

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

[@yasameenm6806]

thanks for the amazing podcast

[@yasameenm6806]

the way he said paratha was jokes

[@maymunhashim-subhan6931]

Great episode, but there was a lot of talk on losing weight. What about the brothers who are not trying to lose weight? I've taken on board all of the general healthy foods you mention, but i don't want to be trying to lose a huge amount of weight...
