Asure-Prophet Noah's (pbuh) pudding
Aşure-thoughts on how make it Primally&its Qur'anic history:
it's a dessert that's supposed to be from prophet Noah (pbuh)s time
pbuh=peace be upon him.
you basically mix everything dry, nuts and fruits and seeds and grains with sweet into some sort of pudding and boil it. you can have some fresh fruits too. oh and cinnamon

**in this show this little girl was saying that while her grandmother was making asure she insisted that she makes it with chocolate but she refused and of course everyone laughs.
but then i thought why couldn't i try putting chocolate chips?
i actually like the idea yani, i think it could work, depending on how i make it.
finding sugar free chocolate chip won't be easy but i'll try the coop and stuff.
**ok i just looked at a few recipes and i'm getting a basic idea
the problem ingredients are: wheat (not flour), rice, dried beans, chickpeas and of course sugar.
The rest are nuts and fruits and spice basically.
I especially dont know what to replace beans and chickpeas with, perhaps vegetables such as sweet potatoes and beets instead of beans and coconut flakes instead of chickpeas? trying to be imaginative :)
I can use coconut sugar or honey instead of sugar.
Quinoa instead of wheat, but a second pseudograin might be nice i dont know which, perhaps buckwheat or wild rice?
I guess primal equates wild rice to quinoa, so it's ok rarely.
Actually to quote "These are best on a very infrequent basis" (legumes are also in this category.)
** Please comment if you try a recipe with these (or other!) ideas and find it works :)

So the 2013 Asure Day is on 13 Nov and the 2015 day is 23 Oct. (the day is calculated according to the lunar Hijri calendar, Muharram the 10th)
The custom is to make a large amount and distribute to neighbors.
This is the day of the landing of Noah's arc but there are 9 other prophetic miracles on the same day, I think they say the Islamic version of the flood is local rather than global, so I got curious and this is Muhammad Asad's (Leopold Weiss) interpretation:
>>>This "gushing forth of water over the face of the earth" seems to point to the inundation of the huge valley now covered by the Mediterranean Sea (see surah 7, note 47) - an inundation which, augmented by continuous, torrential rains (cf. 54:11), rapidly spread over the land-mass of present-day Syria and northern `Iraq and grew into the immense deluge described in the Bible and in the Qur'an, and also referred to in the myths of ancient Greece (e.g., in the story of Deukalion and Pyrrhea), as well as in Sumerian and Babylonian legends.(Quran Ref: 11:40
As regards the animals which Noah was commanded to take with him in the ark, it is reasonable to assume that this referred to the domesticated animals already in his possession, and not to all animals, as the Biblical narrative would have it.(Quran Ref: 11:40 )
>>>11:49 (Asad) THESE ACCOUNTS of something that was beyond the reach of thy perception We [now] reveal unto thee, [O Muhammad: for] neither thou nor thy people knew them [fully] ere this. [73] Be, then, [like Noah,] patient in adversity - for, behold, the future belongs to the God-conscious!<<<
>>>note 73: Although the story of Noah had been vaguely known to the Arabs even before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad, they - and the Prophet with them - were entirely unaware of the details as narrated in the preceding Qur'anic account (Razi). The use of the plural at the beginning of this parenthetic passage ("These accounts") - in contrast with the singular form employed in a similar phrase occurring in 3:44, 11:100 and 12:102 ("This account") -seems, in my opinion, to indicate that it refers not only to the preceding story of Noah but also to the subsequent stories of other prophets. In this connection it should be remembered-and it cannot be stressed too often-that "narrative" as such is never the purpose of the Qur'an. Whenever it relates the stories of earlier prophets, or alludes to ancient legends or to historical events that took place before the advent of Islam or during the lifetime of the Prophet, the aim is, invariably, a moral lesson; and since one and the same event, or even legend, has usually many facets revealing as many moral implications, the Qur'an reverts again and again to the same stories, but every time with a slight variation of stress on this or that aspect of the fundamental truths underlying the Qur'anic revelation as a whole.(Quran Ref: 11:49 )
