Home Security: Making Sure It’s a Job Well Done A to-do list from a Baltimore security expert If home is where the heart is, then having a peaceful and safe home means your heart is calm and at ease.

But with crime the number one local news item, many of us find that peace compromised.

A sound in the yard too late at night might keep us on alert all night, and even into the week. The Muslim Link spoke to a local Muslim security expert who has designed and implemented home and commercial security systems for over a decade. He wished to remain anonymous, but here’s his “top 10” list of things to think about when planning for your peaceful home.

1.Make sure you use only licensed vendors.

Most state and local police departments require licensed vendors to install security systems. In Virginia , contact the DCJS – Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), and in Maryland , contact the Maryland State Police.

2.When looking at the costs for your security system package, make sure to include any additional devices that may be needed.

Usually the monitoring service fees are fixed, but the costs of replacement parts, service warranties, and service agreements are not.

Consider them in your evaluation!

3.If you are planning your new home, its best to have it pre-wired for security. You can install the system at a later date. Some home financing plans can work the wiring costs into

the financing agreement.

4.Choosing between Wired and Wireless systems can be somewhat tricky. Both systems provide good reliability, but the wireless type requires more maintenance (changing of batteries every 1-2yrs). The two main advantages of going wireless are for easier installations and no need for ugly wires.

5.Door and window alarms sensors are better than motion sensors in most cases. You want your alarms to go off when the criminal is on the outside of your house. Installing sensors on individual doors and windows will sound the alarm when these are jarred or broken; while motion sensors will only go off when the criminal is inside the home. You want to keep the bad guys out!

6.When there are budget constraints, do a night-time walk around of your home, looking for the most vulnerable places where someone could enter - low reaching windows, doors, sliding doors, hatches, etc. Those are the places you want to alarm for sure.

7.Make sure to get enough signage to cover all possible entry points into your home. A “Protected By ABC, Inc” sticker on a window or door is a deterrent for a thief.

8.For extra safety, add smoke and carbon monoxide detection to your alarm system, these allow for the auto-notify the EMS and

fire departments. Also some rental companies and home insurance companies will give you a discount if you have a monitor alarm.

9.You can save money on service calls if you learn and understand some basic things about your system. At your user training, take care and ask the installation technician how to change your batteries.

10.Use your investment! All home security system have ‘at home’ and ‘away from home’ modes. There should be no excuses for not arming your system day and night.

And last but certainly not least, make sure you fill your home with prayer and the remembrance of Allah in word and deed, because Allah is the Protector of those who believe!

Cooking it Up

COOKING IT UP

MARCH 28, 2008

Sr. Heather grew up in the Midwest United States, right in the middle of farm country. She went from cooking experiments as a child to county fair competitions as a teen to cooking as a creative outlet as an adult. Her cooking style can be described as a spark of adventure, grounded in tradition. She loves to try recipes from around the world and adapt them to make them easier and sometimes even more healthy.Her inspiration comes from the ability of food to bring families and groups of people together.

When it comes to food, some

things just seem right, but what happens if you go in and start breaking the mental rules? I decided to go against my own personal grain this month and ended up with an exciting new twist on an old favorite.

As you know, I am trying to get everyone to eat more fruit, vegetables and consequently… fiber. Along those lines, I have been trying to incorporate less starch at every meal. The first recipe is a family favorite that goes great over some hot jasmine rice, but if you are willing to be adventurous, serve it up on some endive leaves instead. Endive is slightly bitter and goes well with the spice of the ground beef and it packs almost 2 grams of fiber per serving. Plus, kids really enjoy eating foods that look like they are meant for tiny fingers.

Spicy Ground Beef Endive Scoops

Prep time: 5 minutes Total time: 20 minutes. Serves 4 1 pound ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce ½ cup light coconut milk 1 ½ teaspoon red curry paste 1 4 ounce can green chili peppers, minced 1 teaspoon brown sugar ½ cup green onions, chopped 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 4 whole endive or ½ head of iceberg lettuce

A New Twist

Add oil to frying pan and heat to medium.

Sauté onions until translucent. Add ground beef and chop into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Remove any excess fat from the beef and stir in tomato sauce.

Cook for about 5 minutes or until sauce reduces and thickens slightly. Add the next 4 ingredients (coconut milk to brown sugar) and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Before serving stir in green onions. Cut the ends off each endive, wash and dry them. Remove individual endive leaves and fill each scoop with 1-2 tablespoons of beef mixture or serve family style with beef in the middle of the plate and endive leaves around the outside for scooping. If you don’t like endive or can’t find them in the store, wash and dry half a head of iceberg lettuce and use individual leaves to make lettuce wraps.

If there is one thing my mother taught me well, it is that you don’t chop up a good cut of meat. For me, that extended to large fish fillets as well. In the next recipe, I traded the canned pink salmon for a salmon fillet and couldn’t believe the difference in texture and flavor. If you couple the salmon burger with a good multigrain muffin (up to 8 grams of fiber per serving) and the tang of plain yogurt, you have just assembled a quick and easy crowd pleaser. Dill goes well with this recipe. Stir in a little dill with your yogurt and serve on top for some extra zip.

***

Salmon Burgers

Prep time: 5 minutes Total time: 20 minutes Serves 4 1 pound salmon fillet (or canned pink salmon) ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs ½ cup green onions, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon jarred garlic) 1 tablespoon country dijon mustard 1 tablespoon dry parsley 1 egg ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper (may increase up to 1 teaspoon as desired)

Spicy Ground Beef Endive Scoops

4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (optional)

Salmon Burger

½ teaspoon dill (optional) 4 multigrain English muffins (optional) Cut skinless salmon fillet into 1 inch chunks and grind in a food processor. If you are using canned pink salmon, remove all of the bones and skin. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until well incorporated. Press salmon into 4 patties. Use cooking spray to coat frying pan and heat to medium. Add salmon patties to pan and cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Serve on toasted multigrain English muffins with a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt.

I was walking through the store recently and stopped in front of the 8 foot display of granola bars, snack bars, fruit snacks and fruit roll-ups. I started to riffle through the ingredients and I couldn’t find one bar that passed the test. The first round of testing excluded everything with high fructose corn syrup. The second round of testing was ingredient preferences. I left the store granola bar-less and feeling dejected. Then it occurred to me that maybe I could make granola bars. The following recipe is a good foundation recipe. You can substitute the fruit and nut selections (almonds, pecans, cherries and chocolate) with your own favorite blend. This blend has almost 5 grams of fiber per bar.

***

Grown-up Granola Bars Prep time: 10 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Makes 16 bars

1 tablespoon butter 2 ½ cups rolled oats 1 cup brown rice syrup ½ cup almonds, whole ½ cup pecans, chopped ¾ cup dried tart cherries, chopped ½ cup mini semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ¼ cup cane sugar (or brown sugar) ½ teaspoon sea salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put a layer of foil in the bottom of an 8x8 inch pan. The foil should hang over the edge of the pan about an inch. Grease the foil with butter.

Place nuts and coconut on an edged cookie sheet and bake for 6 minutes, or until coconut is golden. Use a spatula to turn nuts and coconut every 2 minutes while it is toasting.

In a large mixing bowl, combine nuts, coconut, oats and dried cherries, set aside.

In a saucepan, combine rice syrup, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Continue to stir until mixture thickens slightly. Stir in vanilla and

Grown-up Granola Bars

pour over the oat, fruit and nut mixture. Use a spatula to mix until incorporated. Spray hands with cooking spray and press mixture into prepared pan. Once the bars have cooled completely, sprinkle the chocolate chips on the top and press them in gently.journey a little easier by making most every sauce and paste available for you to create your own new and exciting flavor combinations.

DINNING OUT

MARCH 28, 2008 The dining establishments listed here have said they carry “halal” food items on their menus. Not all items on all menus are halal, so readers are advised to ask servers if they are unsure. Some restaurants expect Muslims to request the “halal menu”. The Muslim Link does not investigate halal claims, nor does it guarantee claims made by restaurants. The list is provided as a service to our readers. If you have comments or questions about this list, or if we missed your favorite restaurant, call us at 301-982-1020 and let us know. Remember to say bismillah before eating, and happy dining!

If a person had a stream outside his door and he bathed in it five times a day, do you think he would have any filth left on him?” The people said, “No filth would remain on him whatsoever.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, “That is like the five daily prayers: Allah wipes away the sins by them.”

Honey Heals Skin Disease and Hair Loss Every Muslim has read that the Prophet Sallallahu ‘alyhi wa sallam told his ummah about the wonderful nature of honey. In the Qur’an in Surah An-Nahl, Allah described honey as a “drink of varying color wherein is healing for men”.

Its no wonder that scientists are spending more and more resources examining, testing, and developing honey-based medical treatments. As early as December 26, 2007, the Associated Press ran a story titled “Honey makes medical comeback”.

One company that has believed in the restorative power of honey for a long time is HoneyDerm, Inc., a Lansing, Michigan based company that spent years bringing the healing power of honey to people suffering from hair loss, dandruff, and skin disease.

Their most famous product line is Hairback Lotion and Hairtonix Shampoo, that “helps stimulate new hair growth and thicken existing hair”. Honeyderm, Inc also claims the products solve dandruff and scalp psoriasis.

The Muslim Link requested access to some of Honeyderm’s customers, and Brother Mahmoud from Honeyderm gladly offered us some phone numbers.

Brother Hasan, in his late 30’s is from Maryland and suffers from the common skin disease eczema. “I’ve had eczema since high school, and it got worse as the years went on. I went to a dermatologist and he recommended a cortisone-type prescription cream.

It did stop the itch, but my skin was still dry and tight. I’ve tried lotions and shampoos from Aveeno, Lubiderm, Vaseline, and others. Alhumdulillah, I found Honeyderm’s Dermatonic-P, and it is really, really a blessing for people with Eczema or other skin illnesses. I no longer wake up sweating at night!

Allahu-Akbar!.”

We called Abdurihman Khalil from Chicago. He did not know we were going to call. Abdurihman started

losing his hair when he was about 28. He discovered the Hairback product line at a convention and decided to test its claims. “The hair loss stopped completely,” said Abdurihman. “It’s excellent, and I’ve been using it now for 6 years as my normal shampoo ... I recommend it to be friends and family always.”

We also called Brother Mustafa Al-Omary in Sterling Heights, Michigan. He decided to do something about his thinning hair at age 40 and tried the Hairback treatment. Asked how long it took for him to see results, he told us “Oh gosh, less than a week. My thin spots filled in,.” He said he would “absolutely” recommend the product to anyone. “It’s not a fly-bynight product, its awesome,” said Mustafa.

We also called Najeebudheen Appat, a 30-year old living in Los Angeles, CA. He’s had a severe dandruff problem for a long-time, and had been searching for a solution. “I tried so many different products like tonics and shampoos, I can’t even remember them all, until I found this product around 2002. My problem was solved completely, the entire thing is taken care of.

I even called [Honeyderm] with the great feedback,” recalled Najeebudheen. He told us that Allah creates shifa in many things, and Honeyderm’s products are a part of that. “For dandruff problems, this is the total solution,” he told us from his mobile phone.

“Alhumdulillah, I found Honeyderm’s Dermatonic-P, and it is really, really a blessing for people with Eczema or other skin illnesses. I no longer wake up sweating at night! Allahu-Akbar!.” - Br.Hasan, Maryland

On Honeyderm’s website, there are many more testimonials from Muslims and non-Muslims from around the nation and the world. There is also a gallery of “before and after” pictures of both hair loss treatments as well as skin treatments. And best of all, for those of us who’ve “tried it all”, there is a full money back guarantee.

Allah said honey heals. The Prophet Sallallahu’alyhi wa sallam said honey heals. The people we called said honey heals. With a money back guarantee, there is absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain – your hair and skin!
