Six Things that have No Place in the Kitchen

Our kitchen is one of the most important places in the house. The cleanliness of this room directly affects our health.

We advise to have a revision in your kitchen, to get into every secret corner and get rid of everything that can serve as a habitat for dust, germs and other evil spirits.

Old sponges

The service life of a sponge is from a week to two months, depending on how often it is used. Those that are rarely used should be washed and dried regularly. A sponge that has lived in your kitchen for more than two months is a real breeding ground for bacteria.

Shopping Bags

No, we are not encouraging you to abandon textile shopping bags in favor of packages. After all, the environment affects our life. Just get yourself a few shopping bags and wash them regularly.

TV and laptop

As you know, if we are distracted in the process of eating, the brain does not have time to signal that we are full. Therefore, we unnoticeably for ourselves regularly eat too much and gain unnecessary kilograms. Thus, there is no place for a TV and a laptop in our kitchen.

Bowls for pets

If pets eat in the kitchen, be sure to wash their bowls immediately after feeding, because food leftovers on the floor can become a breeding ground for ants, cockroaches, and mice.

Your handbag

Our bags are real breeding grounds for germs, as they travel with us to all public places. Therefore, it is extremely imprudent, coming from the store, to throw it somewhere on the table where the food is laid. Leave your bag in the hallway.

Cookbooks

Today, so many recipes can be found on the Internet. Cookbooks in the kitchen just gather dust and take up space.

Who Forced an Entry into the Pyramid?

What father would wish his son hard work? What father would not wish his son glory and honour? But glory and honour are impossible without daily hard work for the good of one’s people.   A father must carefully select from among his many sons the most God-fearing, the most talented in...


The Reason Why Do We Cry at Beautiful Scenes in Movies

Have you ever experienced the situation when you are watching a movie, and suddenly something so beautiful happens on the screen that a lump forms in your throat and treacherous tears roll down your cheeks?   The hero finally achieves his goal, meets a loved one after a long separation, or...


Let the Soul Grow

Science surprisingly confirms the wisdom revealed 1,500 years ago in the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I was given another reason to reflect on this when reading an excerpt from a lecture by Carl Gustav Jung, the founder of analytical psychology.   The psychologist asks a question that...


The Explorer of Natural Laws: Al-Jahiz

In every nation, there always appear a small number of individuals who are inexorably drawn to the understanding of nature and its laws. Abu Uthman Amr ibn Bakr al-Basri, better known as al-Jahiz, noted: “Nations that do not have such individuals are doomed to...
