The audience interacted with the Turkish chef Burak following performing the rituals of Umrah, where he shared a number of photos and videos, via “Instagram”, from the Great Mosque of Mecca, during which he appeared in front of the Kaaba surrounded by a number of pilgrims.
Burak commented on the pictures, saying: “Oh God, praise be to you until you are satisfied, and praise be to you if you are pleased, and praise be to you following contentment.”
A number of pilgrims embarrassed Chef Burak following flocking to him to take pictures with him in the Great Mosque of Mecca, despite the sanctity of the place.
Followers on the communication sites criticized the pilgrims for their insistence on taking pictures with the Turkish chef during the ritual circumambulation around the Kaaba, noting that such behavior is not permissible during the performance of the rites of Umrah.
While others praised the kindness and style of Burak and his handling of the situation.
And the comments stated: “Do you know what the conditions of the pilgrims are who are pictured while they are circumambulating? This is like prayer. I mean, it is permissible to turn around and it is obligatory to perform rituals and supplication with reverence. Do not take my predecessor with a famous person.”
Another commented: “God guides us and guides them to you. Indeed, this is from ignorance of the religion. How do they perceive the circumambulation.”
A follower said: “This is the newness of my predecessor with the circumambulation, where is the reverence, but in fact this person is clear that he is kind and gentle and is able to deal with the embarrassment that people have caused.”
A few days ago, the artist, Maryam Hussein, accompanied Chef Burak, while she was in his restaurant in Dubai, and expressed her fascination with the special presentation he presented to her.
Maryam Hussein received a special welcome from Chef Burak and his assistants, who began to clap and sing as soon as she arrived to shake hands with the chef, as they usually welcome many celebrities who visit the place.
Chef Burak gave a special presentation to the Egyptian artist, where he set fire to the flour in front of her, and took out the food jar using tongs from the cooking utensils, which made her scream “Oh my God.”
The chef is distinguished in a different way in cooking food, as he prepares large quantities of it in a very simple and fast way without looking at the food or seeing it.
Chef Burak is 28 years old, born in 1994. He inherited the culinary profession from his family and began working in this field from the age of 16, which contributed to refining his talent in culinary arts at an early age.
