Re: Sharing your recipes
Go read my post again. Did I say that you think of yourself as a better cook than trained chefs? Nope, I never said that. The only reason why I told you that you’re not a professional chef is to highlight that such reasoning cannot be used to justify that a professional chef should not have any reservations about sharing their market-success recipes.
Sawab kamanay k aur bhi bahut ways hain. Aik professional chef ka poora ya maximum sawaab aik hit-recipe k share karna main nahi hai. Even if a chef does not share their hit-recipe with people, the fact that they are earning a halaal living and spending those earnings on their loved ones and on sadaqah and zakaat…is a means of sawaab for them. If a professional chef is greeting their customers with a smile, if they are showing kindness to their customers in other ways, if they are treating their staff with fairness…these are all ways of earning sawab through your trade/career/talents. There are many ways to show kindness and big-heartedness. There are many ways to get barkat and sawab.
