Alhamdullilah...

So the professor from Pakistan I've emailed to get information about food safety and Islamic food law just replied to me after more than a month.

He said he sent me 7 articles that he wrote by post just this week and told me it took him some time because of the current conditions that he has to put up with - facing daily electricity outtages as a result of the current violence that is plaguing Pakistan.

Words cannot begin to describe how appreciative I am and guilty at the same time for his efforts. The fact that he kept his word despite the fact that it would be so much easier to forget about it (and anyone would totally understand) leaves me greatly humbled and in admiration of his determination and integrity.

At the same time, at least this gives me all the more motivation to do my best for this thesis and present something that will hopefully be good and readable.

I may not be Muslim, but I think it's appropriate at this moment to say: Alhamdullilah.
