[FB Live Available – Tokyo Camii Special Open Lecture in September 2021]”Muslim Cuisine in ‘Arabian Nights’ era – Understanding Historical Materials”

“Muslim Cuisine in ‘Arabian Nights’ era – Understanding Historical Materials”

The Abbasid dynasty, established in Baghdad, Iraq in the second half of the 8th century, often known to the Middle Eastern society as the setting for the Thousand and One Nights stories, was the place where the most sophisticated culture was created and developed. At that court, the compilation of cookbooks began in the 9th century. In the 13th century, cookbooks of cities in Damascus, Cairo, and Andalus, Spain, were compiled by scholars. Not only are recipes for each dish, confectionery, and drink written with weighing, but they also contain information such as their views on their medical benefits, etiquette when eating, and explanations of cooking utensils. ..

Let’s see what can be understood from the contents of those cookbooks (each dish, taste, and cooking method, the introduction of new ingredients – use of sugar, lemon, and rice). Then combine the described information of the same period, such as medical books, the books of Muhtasib (supervisor of the bazaar), and the narratives of Arabian Nights, to emerge some aspects of the eating habits of this era.

The Importance of Good Character
إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبِكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَحَاسِنَكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا
The most beloved of Allah's servants to Allah are those with the best manners.
Allah'ın kulları arasında en çok sevdiği kimseler, en güzel ahlâka sahip olanlardır.
アッラーのしもべの中で、アッラーに最も愛されるのは、最も良い性格を持つ者たちです。
Sahih Bukhari (Hadith 3559)
Justice and Fairness
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ
Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice.
Hiç şüphesiz Allah size, emanetleri ehline teslim etmenizi ve insanlar arasında hükmettiğiniz zaman adaletle hükmetmenizi emreder.
本当にアッラーは、あなた方が信託をその権利主に返すことを、そしてあなた方が人々の間を裁く時には公正さによって裁くことを、ご命じになる。
Surah An-Nisa (4:58)
