Maybe that's because I'm one of the only people on the forum who's actually dyed hard boiled eggs for Easter. My mom would then hide them all over the house, then we would search for them. Then, after church, my dad would gobble them all up, and what he didn't eat, she would make egg salad out of.

Dyed hard boiled Easter eggs

Hey we did that! Well, we painted them for fun, but when it came to hunting for eggs we meant business with solid chocolate bunnies and cream eggs in every nook. ... we were really spoiled kids, and probably a drain on Canada's dental care.

bismillahirrahmaanirraheem,

Do you seek knowledge for the sake of Allah?

Perhaps none of your thoughts may necessarily be considered "haraam" in the sight of Allah, He may know best that your knowledge is not sought or obtained for His sake so... should He amass the constituents of matter that currently are the summation of your body once again, after you die, for its 'recompense' for what you've earned in this life... would your reward be Hellfire or Paradise?

2:28 How can you refuse to acknowledge God, seeing that you were lifeless and He gave you life, and that He will cause you to die and then will bring you again to life, whereupon unto Him you will be brought back?

...surely none can claim to have created or willed one's self into existence. The existence of each of us is, factoring anything and everything, astronomically against our being at all. Astronomical it may be but such a thing is easy for God for it can only be easy for God... what if you found yourself in His presence in the blink of an eye? Would it not be easy for Him to recall you once again as He did in the very first place? ...are we to be fooled by the supposed grandeur of man whom can only work with what he stumbles upon... something that was already there?

2:215 THEY WILL ASK thee as to what they should spend on others. Say: "Whatever of your wealth you spend shall [first] be for your parents, and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer; and whatever good you do, verily, God has full knowledge thereof."

2:145 And yet, even if thou wert to place all evidence before those who have been vouchsafed earlier revelation, they would not follow thy direction of prayer; and neither mayest thou follow their direction of prayer, nor even do they follow one another's direction. And if thou shouldst follow their errant views after all the knowledge that has come unto thee thou wouldst surely be among the evildoers.

2:255 GOD - there is no deity save Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsistent Fount of All Being. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that could intercede with Him, unless it be by His leave? He knows all that lies open before men and all that is hidden from them, whereas they cannot attain to aught of His knowledge save that which He wills [them to attain]. His eternal power overspreads the heavens and the earth, and their upholding wearies Him not. And he alone is truly exalted, tremendous.

2:264 O you who have attained to faith! Do not deprive your charitable deeds of all worth by stressing your own benevolence and hurting [the feelings of the needy], as does he who spends his wealth only to be seen and praised by men, and believes not in God and the Last Day: for his parable is that of a smooth rock with [a little] earth upon it - and then a rainstorm smites it and leaves it hard and bare. Such as these shall have no gain whatever from all their [good] works: for God does not guide people who refuse to acknowledge the truth.

4:108 They would conceal their doings from men; but from God they cannot conceal them - for He is with them whenever they devise, in the dark of night, all manner of beliefs which He does not approve. And God indeed encompasses [with His knowledge] whatever they do.

'aaklaykum assalaamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

Sahih Bukhari
Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

I think that should sum it up, it all depends on your intention

[Hard2Hit]

Salaams,

We've been enjoying cakes from my christian friend each christmas and easter. My nana jee loves them too.

And when its eid-ul-azha, family of that christian friend had so much beef and mutton sent to them by neighbors, it would be enough for an year

They now have moved to another place though !
