sounds fascinating, how about posting a picture of it if you can?

As Salamu Alaikum,
I wonder if the prison wardens knew that kudam is a steak dinner to those who have taqwa.

At first I thought Brother Al Awlaki was talking about some kind of mouse or rat~

They gave you the worst of this worlds food but just wait until Allah gives them the worst of hellfires food.

“No food will there be for them except from a bitter, thorny plant which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.” (Quran 88:6-7)

“Indeed, the tree of zaqqum is food for the sinful, like murky oil, it boils within bellies, like the boiling of scalding water.” (Quran 44:43-46)

“Is that (Paradise) better as hospitality or the tree of zaqqum? Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers. Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire, its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils. And, indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies. Then, indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water. Then, indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.” (Quran 37:62-68)

“Then indeed you, O those astray (who are) deniers, will be eating from trees of zaqqum and filling with it your bellies, and drinking on top of it from scalding water, and will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels. That is their hospitality on the Day of Recompense.” (Quran 56:51-56)

“…They will be given to drink boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces).” (Quran 47:15)

“So no friend has he here this Day, nor has he any food except filth from the washing of wounds which none do eat but those in sin.” (Quran 69:35-37)

Imagine being so hungry that you are eating the puss of someones wound! It makes kudam sound like red lobster!

On a sidenote brother Anwar I certainly don’t want to take away from the suffering you endured especially when it comes to diet. I know that I would find it VERY difficult to eat the same thing all day everyday. In your pictures you look like your pretty thin already but did you lose weight during your stay?

May Allah reward you with the BEST FOOD EVER in Jennah!

Salam Alaykum,
Ibraheim

Bismillah Hir Rehman Nir Raheem:

As Salaamu Aleykum WR WB Sheikh Anwar,

May Allah STW reward your for your patience and standing firm on Truth, Ameen.

I had the California sourdough bread so I can somewhat relate to Khudam.

I hardly get dreams, but last night I had an unusual blessed dream, which I would like to ask about to a trusted scholar only, what do you recommend, I should do? Insha’Allah will be waiting for your response.

Barakallah Feeq,

Wa Salaamu Aleykum,

Muhammed

assalam alaikum.

khudam subhallah sherykh you are 100 % right of your description of a khudam….

fi amna lillah

abu zakaria a danamarki

Jazka allah khair akh anwar.

Brother Muhammed, you can listen to awalaqi’s lecture on Dream Interpretation.

Aslaam-o-Ahlaikom Sheikh,

Nice description of bread. InshAllah you will be amongst the first group in paradise to get the ‘Fish Liver’. Pray for us. JazakAllah for sharing this.

-Muhammad

salamu3leykum i found a picture from the bread go on that link http://www.alamy.com/stock_photography/7/1/Marco+Casiraghi/A61THE.html

AA,

The first question that popped in my mind when Shaykh said “Kudam is a unique creature”, was whether it was permissible to eat it or not. Lol. MashaAllah excellent description Shaykh and quite humorous aswell. JazaakAllah Khairan

I was really anxious about what this creature might be, but alhumdulilah it was bread ‎and not something worse. Subhanallah I always hear people say that Muslim prisons ‎are much worse than the prisons of the kufars, I hope is not true. May Allah subhana ‎wa tahalah elevate the believers in this life and the next.ameen. ‎

shiekh when are starting classes

can we cum c u pllllllllz

asalamu aleykum
solitary confinement,khudam 24/7, masha allah with your imaan sheikh, you sound like it was picnic. may allah make you 1 those he prepared, what no eye has ever seen,what no ear has evet heard and what no human mind has ever envisaged,you and every muslim whom experienced hardship in this world

Subhanallah, I guess your stomach got adjusted to it right sheikh?

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Like the other brother or sister said, insha’ALLAH you will taste of the fish liver in jannah. It kind of reminds me of the bread in Egypt, but the one in Egypt is TERRIBLE depending on where u get it.

dear shekh awlaki Asalam alekum …
was the prision floor clean? i mean from taharah point of view?

sounds like you miss it. lol

Asalaamu alaikum,
May Allah bless you all.
I was wondering where I can listen to th shiekhs lecture on dreams?

Asalam Alaikum

Assalam ‘Alaykum,

I thought it was a creature too.

I just wanted to say, I love you for the sake of Allah Imam Anwar although I’ve never attended your lectures physically or seen you. When you were imprisoned it was a hard time for all of us. You’ve changed peoples lives with your lectures Alhamdulilah.

May Allah subhanna wa ta’ala grant you the highest status in Jannah and bring more people among us who speak the haq. Ameen ya rabb!

You remind me of the hadith which says that whenever Allah loves someone he commands his angels to love him, and the Angels tell the people to love him and everyone on the dunya loves him.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Hmm..in the b&w pic they look like chocolate chip cookies.

I wonder: does one eat these kudam dry, or can they be moistened in a gravy or sauce of some kind (i.e. Shorba) before eating?

May Allah help all the prisoners and give them strength against the oppressors..

Ameen^^

…. and Allah will test you

What you have gone through has done nothing but raised your level of Imaan.

May Allah raise you to a higher level in Jannah.

And frankly speaking, i would love to eat “Kudam” everyday, if i can become knowledgeable like you

Asalam Aleikhum Dear Muslims,
Standing firm to defend Islam is not not an easy task. There are alot of trials one will have to go through within Muslims and non Muslims World. Allah Akbar, brother Anwar you have gone through one of them,thats the most difficult one “diet” leave alone if someone takes your freedom even for one hour -
This is a great lesson for those seek the truth and live by the truth.

Ramadhan is around the corner, Isha Allah,Please empower us spiritually with one strong lecture about this Holy Month of Ramadhan, in 4 parts :
1.What we should to do when sighting the moon and the first 10 days including the benefit of Ramadhan, Taraweh and Tahajud.
2.The 2nd 10 days of Ramadhan and the obligations of the Muslims during this Holy Month of Ramadhan.
3.The last 10 days including the .
4.The Idd Festival, how it should be celebrated and how our lives should reflect after Ramadhan.
How should we deal with situation when our Muslims Br’s and Sisters are behind bars, oppressed and how should build unity, we work hand and hand to free them.
Again if I do not ask too much, is there anyway you can display Islamic calender in this Website?
May Allah show us the straight path and guide us.
Asalam Aleikhum
