The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love. The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general. The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
====================================
The Apple in the Bible
In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Sustain me with grape-cakes; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!
Upon reading this Biblical song, one may ask if the Bible is a book that teaches the religion or a book that teaches the private hot issues happening between men and women!
In the Noble Quran, the great Prophet King Solomon does not say such a song.
————————————–
Song of Solomon 2:1-6 in four different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
6 His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
American Standard Version
1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.
2 As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.
5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.
6 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.
King James Version
1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
Young’s Literal Translation
1As a lily among the thorns,
2So [is] my friend among the daughters!
3As a citron among trees of the forest, So [is] my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit [is] sweet to my palate.
4He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me [is] love,
5Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I [am] sick with love.
6His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

The Apple in the Quran
The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general. The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
Verses 36: 55-58 talk about the fruits in the afterlife for those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise.
————————————–
The meaning of verse 36: 55
Indeed, this day which is the Day of Judgment, those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise are busy; they are delighting in pleasures; they are not tiring with anything wearisome, as there is no toil in Paradise; they are blissful and rejoicing in comfort.
The meaning of verse 36: 56
For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they and their wives are in pleasant shade; in other words, no sunlight affects them. They and their wives are on thrones reclining; reclining upon couches (the word couches in Arabic is pronounced as “Ara’ik”, which is the plural of ar?ka. Ar?ka is a bed inside a curtained canopy, or the bedding therein on thrones reclining)
The meaning of verse 36: 57
For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
The meaning of verse 36: 58
- For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, Allah, the Lord of the worlds will greet them with the word “Peace”; they are greeted with the greeting of peace! In other words, Allah, the Merciful Lord will say to them, ‘Peace be on you!’

Verses 36: 55-58 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
Verse 36: 55
QARIB: indeed, the companions of the garden are this day busy in their rejoicing.
SHAKIR: surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy
PICKTHAL: lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,
YUSUFALI: verily the companions of the garden shall that day have joy in all that they do;
Verse 36: 56
QARIB: together with their spouses, they shall recline on couches in the shade.
SHAKIR: they and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches
PICKTHAL: they and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;
YUSUFALI: they and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on thrones (of dignity);
Verse 36: 57
QARIB: they shall have fruits and all that they call for.
SHAKIR: they shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire
PICKTHAL: theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;
YUSUFALI: (every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;
Verse 36: 58
QARIB: peace, a saying from the most merciful lord.
SHAKIR: peace: a word from a merciful lord
PICKTHAL: the word from a merciful lord (for them) is: peace!
YUSUFALI: “peace!” – a word (of salutation) from a lord most merciful!

The Problem
O.k. Guys so you can’t figure out how to get a girl to like you in the way you had intended. Unfortunately your feminine side came screaming out and instead of being romantically involved, you are there with her watching lifetime doing your nails and letting her test her new “Hair-be-gone” on your legs. Hey don’t shoot the messanger you got yourself into this mess not me. So lets do a little house cleaning shall we? We’ll get you back on track no worries.
When a girl says she wants a nice, sensitive guy, don’t run out and get a “build-a-Bear” and sniffle during the chick flick you took her to. Technically speaking that may be what they want, it’s human nature and it sounds right, but when reality bares it’s head female instinct says she likes a guy who will take control and act like a man. Let’s look at what happens when….
What happens when.. you take a girl to an expensive dinner, her something on instinct and spoiling her at no expense? She thanks you for the lovely time and goes out with another guy. Dang!
What happens when.. you just can’t wait to call that beauty right after a great date cause you had such a great time (so you thought) and she’s coming off as awkward and rushing through the call just to get you off the phone. Am I right?
The Solution
Now Let’s change it up a bit for the sake of variety…
What Happens when.. you don’t call a girl and you’re habitually busy, and really could care less if you see her again or not? She’s calling you every few hours right?
What Happens when.. you go out for a quick brew and act like she’s your happy hour pal? She starts to feel an attraction because you are’nt being the “jump” “How High”? kinda guy. Do you get a feel for where I’m coming from?
Now Don’t go misunderstanding confidance to being a total jerk. To get a girl to like you and show some interest Don’t come off as shy or awkward it will turn her off. You will gain more ground if you lead the way without talking about it. Keep away from dull and lifeless and step up to fun and spontaneous.
Make her laugh, don’t give her too much info about yourself keep some mystery about you and let her wonder. Be interesting and please leave your game night talk at home. Show some direction with your goals and show you have a solid plan for your life, other than a 52″ Plasma and the “Boys” coming over on monday night to knock some down.
This is just some starting points for you to head in the right direction so let’s do a brief review and wrap up. Be a man, Keep Busy not too readily available, be obscure, have a plan, be calm, fun and confident (not arrogant) start off simple but purposeful and never, I repeat, never let her put some warm goop on your legs and tell you it isn’t going to hurt. Until the next time cowboy, peace and be well.

I have always been impressed with Japanese cuisine and culture. This article will discuss on its aspects and why Singaporeans find it so familiar, so much so that aspects of their culture seem to resonate with us. Firstly, they are rice eaters, just like us. In Singapore the staple diet of all the major cultures is rice. It is the centre of our dining experience and side dishes are just used to complement the rice and make it more delicious. Japanese rice is short grain and usually sticky.
They normally do not do anything to the rice because they perceived that it was important for the diner to experience the taste of the rice. A typical Japanese meal would consist of rice, miso soup and some side complementing dishes to complete the fair. They are also not heavy on seasoning and salt, because the Japanese believe that they take away the authentic taste of the food. As you can see, Japanese culture and cuisine interplay one another, and the whole concept behind it is simplicity and purity. They believe that too much seasoning, too much condiments and spices and cooking, came in the way of one’s ability to truly enjoy the natural taste of the food. This is why they usually enjoyed their food raw and with minimal cooking. However, their simplicity did not prevent them from using soya sauce, which plays a very important role in the Japanese kitchen.
Usually, the clearer type of soya cause is used to enhance the flavour and used as a seasoning to improve the dining experience. The Japanese also use soup stock with either seaweed or dried bonito. If you are looking for a traditional approach to eating Japanese food, then look out for restaurants that have the ‘Kaiseki’ eating experience, with is a formal way to present Japanese cuisine. It is slightly different that the Chinese style in the fact that the sequence of the services are decided by the cooking methods.
In Japan, these sort of restaurants are accompanied by music and performances by traditional Geisha or Japanese dancers. I doubt you can find the same thing in Singapore, but there are many Japanese restaurants in this country that offer a slightly tweaked version of this eating experience, adding customisability to the food and making it less formal. If you need to know what foods to try, just as the house chef or cook – Japanese cooks are usually extremely friendly and will recommend easy to eat foods for first timers. In addition to the tête-à-tête with cook, what is good for answer is the proximity sandwiched between where food is made and where it is eaten. The less the time amid food preparation and eating, the better is the taste.
Once you find your favourite dishes you can try them in other restaurants and you will know whether they are of good quality or not. This will be your introduction to Japanese cuisine and culture – right in the heart of Singapore.
Singapore is a beautiful country located in South East Asia. Besides being well known for its . You must also try out whenever you visit Singapore. Visit to taste authentic Chinese food in Singapore.Article Source:
