Assalamu alaikum everyone.
I am currently in Zambia in a very
beautiful place.
I have a surprise for you, okay.
Apart from the fact that I am on
the river Zambezi, lower Zambezi.
This is very close to Lusaka, about two
hours drive.
And this is an absolutely amazing place.
You might be able to hear some insects
as well in the background.
And this is the river behind me.
You can probably see it.
And there are hippos there, there are crocodiles,
there are elephants walking around.
There are a lot of monkeys.
So it is probably wild.
I am in the bush.
And across the river is Zimbabwe, right.
So I am on the border basically.
But this is not necessarily why I am
actually talking to you today.
There is a monkey there.
Okay, I am talking to you about this
very special place.
And the very special surprise we have for
you.
Actually it is a surprise for me as
well.
I have never had it in my life
before.
So that is the suspense, okay.
So, brothers and sisters, I am in lower
Zambezi area.
And there is a very special place called
Mashallah Pleasure Resort.
Remember those words.
Mashallah Pleasure Resort.
Muslim friendly environment.
Okay, all halal.
There is a masjid behind me there.
Okay, you can come here and stay here.
And Wallahi, very affordable prices, Mashallah.
So I am not advertising the resort just
because brothers told me to.
But because it is a beautiful place.
And what is the surprise now?
I am going to let the man talk
himself.
So, Assalamualaikum brother Omar.
What is this?
What are you doing with it?
We are going to have an ostrich egg
for breakfast.
Allahu Akbar.
Alhamdulillah, we keep some emus and ostriches as
well.
Okay.
And this is a fresh ostrich egg.
Wow.
So we are going to fry this egg,
Inshallah.
Allahu Akbar.
Is this a proper, a real ostrich egg?
Look at this brothers and sisters.
Subhanallah.
One and a half kg.
It is a proper shiny ostrich egg.
And it looks like, you know the outside
of the egg.
It looks like ceramic.
It is like a tile.
Can you hear the knocking?
Oh my God.
That is an ostrich egg.
I have held them before.
I have held the shells.
But never an actual ostrich egg.
So this comes from brother Omar's own farm.
He has ostriches.
And this is from his own ostrich.
That can be found in his farm.
And brother Omar Fadda, who is basically the
one who is managing the resort.
So now he is breaking it.
You can see it.
Wow.
It is like a tile.
Subhanallah.
Brother Omar, you look like an expert, man.
We drop some of it.
Oh, that is all like white, man.
Allahu Akbar.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Allahu Akbar.
This is Allah's creation.
This is Allah's power.
And look how thick.
Look how thick this shell is, man.
This is like...
You know what?
This is a treat, brothers and sisters, for
you guys, you know.
That is why you have to really...
Subhanallah.
Okay, I just want you to see.
Wait, brother Omar, before we go in.
Okay, I want everyone to see what this
is.
Okay.
This is a proper shell.
Look how thick it is.
It is like a tile protecting that egg.
So brother Omar, we are going to fry
it now.
Okay, we are going to go in.
Okay, we drop some of it as well.
Brothers and sisters.
We drop some of it as well.
And we are going to go in now
to cook.
Okay, this is our resort.
There are the rooms in there.
And this is where we are going to
cook it in this pot.
Okay.
The whole egg, ostrich egg is going to
go in there.
Wow.
Look how big that yolk is.
Nearly one third of the pot is full.
Let me see you, brother Omar.
Wow, look at that.
Brothers and sisters, just look at that.
You know, it is like pinkish inside.
The color inside is so beautiful.
Unbelievable.
This is an ostrich egg.
We just broke it in front of you,
brothers and sisters.
Subhanallah.
In lower Zambezi, Zambia.
Mashallah, pleasure resort.
Subhanallah.
So outside it is yellowish and inside it
is pink.
And there are membranes protecting it.
You know what?
Subhanallah.
What a beautiful thing.
Look at that.
And the whole hand, you cannot fit it
in one hand, you know.
So my brothers and sisters, this is a
treat for you guys.
So we are going to see what is
going on in here.
Wow, it is cooking.
It is a lot.
It is good we did not use that
small frying pan.
Right.
So this is, you think this is the...
Small pieces only.
Wow, you got some pieces of shells?
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, no problem.
Do not worry about that.
It is calcium.
Yeah, exactly.
Wow, just look at that yolk.
It is cooking.
It is already showing color, white color.
Let us not break the yolk, I think.
Yeah.
So guys, we are going to quickly show
you the egg when it is ready.
When it is ready, we are going to
show it to you when it is done.
For now, just enjoy the view.
It is early in the morning.
Okay.
So this place is absolutely amazing.
You should come here with your family if
you are in Zambia.
Or if you are coming from abroad to
Zambia, give it a day or two to
come and visit this place.
It is absolutely amazing.
Okay.
As I said, it is mostly a Muslim
-friendly environment.
There is a Masjid here.
You can see there, that is the Masjid.
Okay.
That is the Masjid there.
Alhamdulillah.
And there is a river in the background.
So as soon as the egg is ready,
Inshallah, I am going to share it with
you.
I am going to show you what the
egg looks like after it is cooked.
Ostrich egg.
So we are going to try it today.
I have never had it before in my
life.
This is the first time in my life
I am going to have it.
Assalamualaikum.
Okay, everyone.
This is what the ostrich egg is looking
like right now.
It looks like a proper chicken egg.
But the only difference is that it is
huge.
It is gigantic.
It is humongous.
And you know what?
I am trying to make sure that it
does not stick.
Okay.
Myself and brother Omar Khabar, we are trying
to make sure that it is cooked on
slow fire so that it comes out like
a proper, you know, chicken egg.
Oh, yeah.
So basically, remember where it came from.
I am going to quickly show you.
It came from here.
Allahu Akbar.
Don't forget that it came from here.
So, Inshallah, as soon as it is ready,
we are going to share it with you,
Inshallah, what it looks like and what it
tastes like.
I am going to share that experience with
you.
Okay, everyone.
Here is the final product.
It doesn't look perfect, unfortunately.
Because it is so big, we had to
break it.
And we had to fit it into two
pots or two plates.
So you can see the big yolk here
in the middle.
This is the yolk, yeah?
That's what it looks like because we like
it cooked.
And brother Omar is now applying some spices.
That's the egg in the middle.
There is some camel milk, okay?
Brother Omar also does pure camel milk here
in Zambia.
It is called Omar Camel Milk.
It is 100% pure, unadulterated camel milk.
And Wallahi, I have tried it myself and
it is absolutely beautiful.
So we are going to have the egg
right now in front of you.
We are going to have it.
And brother Omar, you can come and join
me while we are enjoying the egg.
And let me see what it tastes like.
My first thoughts.
Did you put salt on it, brother Omar?
Yes, yes.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
This is the first time in my life
I am about to have an ostrich egg
with camel milk.
I feel like Mark Wins, the food travel
guy.
This is so amazing, Wallahi.
It is so amazing.
It tastes like chicken egg but obviously a
bit stronger.
And it is so amazing, man.
It is so amazing.
Look at that yolk.
Allahu Akbar.
Ostrich egg.
Brother Omar, I want to try.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
I haven't tried it without bread so far.
Brother Omar, you haven't had it before as
well, like this, right?
I only boiled one before.
He has had boiled ostrich eggs, but this
is the first time, brother Omar, actually.
The texture is very different, right?
Very, very beautiful.
Very, very beautiful.
And Wallahi, I am so glad that we
did this.
I just want to enjoy it very quickly.
So, I just wanted to share this with
you, brother, just as a surprise.
You come to Mashallah Pleasure Resort, you get
treats like this.
Mashallah.
And what sort of service do you do
here, brother Omar?
So, we do game drives into the Lower
Zambezi National Park.
There is lions.
Wildlife.
Okay, you see lions, elephants and hippos.
And leopards as well.
Okay.
Yes, and then we do boat cruises.
We do tiger fishing.
Lower Zambezi is very famous for tiger fishing.
Wow.
We have some of the biggest tiger fish
in Africa here.
So, we do the fishing.
We also have a zip line, 150 meters.
Okay.
It's there behind us, I think.
The zip line is there.
Okay.
So, basically, yes.
Allahu Akbar.
Brothers and sisters, you must visit Mashallah Pleasure
Resort because it's Mashallah.
Trust me, it's Mashallah.
It's the first place in Lower Zambezi where
you have a masjid.
The first masjid to have been built here
was built by brother Omar.
The first thing he did was to build
a masjid in his resort so that it's
Muslim-friendly.
Muslims can come and not only support this
project but also, Mashallah, enjoy.
Really enjoy.
You know, this place is so peaceful.
It's unbelievable.
Imagine having ostrich egg in the morning on
River Zambezi in this beautiful environment with the
wildlife around you.
And on top of that, you add here,
camel milk.
Fresh camel milk.
I drank all of it.
Okay.
And people say, you drink camel milk and
it upsets your stomach.
No, it doesn't.
It didn't happen to me, alhamdulillah, because it's
pure and it's amazing.
It's beautiful and it's light, amazingly.
Surprisingly, it's lighter than cow milk and buffalo
milk.
So, on that note, brothers and sisters, salams
from brother Omar.
Salams from me and salams from our friend
the ostrich.
Assalamu alaikum.
