Sunnah Of Eating 'When one of you eats, he should mention Allaah's name (i.e. say ‘Bismillaah); if he forgets to mention Allaah's name at the beginning, he should say (when he remembers): I begin in the name of Allah at the beginning and at the end of it ( Bismillah awwalahu wa Akhirahoo).” (Tirmidhi - Narrated by Aaisha and collected by Abu Dawood) The Prophet, (PBUH) said: “Do not eat with your left hand for shaitaan eats with his left hand,” (Narrated by Jabir (RA) , Sahih Muslim) Abu Hurairah, (RA) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) never found fault with food. If he liked it, he would eat it, but if he disliked it, he just left it. So we should instead be grateful as instructed by Allaah: “O You who believe! Eat of the good things that we have provided for you and be grateful to Allaah, if it is He you worship.” )Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 17) The Prophet, (PBUH) commanded us never to waste food, because food that we waste is eaten by shaitaan. He (PBUH) said: “The shaitaan is present with everyone of you in everything he does; he is even present when he eats food, so if any on of you drops a mouthful, he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave it for the devil; and when he finished, he should lick his fingers for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing ties.” (Narrated by Jabir (RA), Sahih Muslim) The Prophet, (PBUH) said: “A Believer eats in one intestine, whereas a non-believer eats in seven intestines,” (Narrated by Ibn Umar and collected in Saheeh Muslim) Therefore it is not for us to eat till we are completely satiated; rather we should eat such that the hunger goes but there is still room for more. I apologise for discontinuing the daily test. D: We shall bring it back on.
