Wafat Alnabe (as) & 50 Years Of Tradition
50 years ago my grandfather had a nather to cook for Alnabe 3alaih elsalat welsalam yom wafata.
What started as one small meal for his immediate family grew to become the phenomena that is today.
After his death my grandma continued the tradition and on her death bed she asked her children to keep it going after shes gone.
The preparation starts weeks in advance. Making all the necessary purchases, From the spices to the sheep, every detail is checked and double checked.
We have a storage room specifically for all the equipment, pots pans and ovens that are used just for that day.
We set up in the 7oosh of our house. I can easily fit in any one of the pots. they are HUGE.
Two days before we start cleaning all the chicken, adding the spices and sorting everything out.
All my aunts and their kids gather the night before at our house. We start after Maghreb prayers. Cutting a ton of onions and making sure the ovens and stoves are working.
By midnight were going full fledge.
This year we started at 12 midnight and finished at 12 noon. 12 hours of non-stop cooking.
The result and the satisfaction amazing!
My family cooked 380 kilos of rice, 500 chickens and 6 thebay7 la7am.
(the set up)
(cleaning the meat)
(having dinner before the cooking starts)
(we used a ton of onions)
(adding the za3faran)
(the 7ashoo)
(all done)
(kids munching on wings at 7 am, haha !!)

Oh what fun! It looks like something that has become a blessing to your family while you are blessing others! You must have some hysterical conversations while you're cutting up all that chicken and cooking up all that rice, chopping all that garlic and stuff . . .
