As Muslims, we are wise to include good foods in our diet. Allah has blessed us with many good foods. In the Quran (7:160) it says:

"Eat of the good foods We have provided for you."

Insyaallah today, let's take a little time to look at how our beloved Rasulullah (saw) ate.

♥ Say 'Bismillah' Before We Eat 

Umar bin Abi Salamah(ra) related that Rasulullah (saw) said, "Say 'Bismillah', eat with your right hand and eat what is near you." 

General Meaning--No matter where we are , we should say 'Bismillah' when having a meal. Always use our right hand and never with our left hand. Also, eat those food which are near to us and do not stretch our arms to take those food which are further away as this will only show a greedy attitude. 


♥ Never Speak ill of A Meal 

Abu Hurairah (ra) said."Rasulullah (saw) never once spoke ill of a meal. If he liked it, he ate it and if he did not like it, he left it untouched." 

General meaning--To speak ill of the food served by someone is bad. Such an act tells of someone ungrateful. Imagine the amount of hard work that goes into preparing and serving the food. It hurts a mother to hear her effort being slighted. Thus if you like it, eat it but if you don't, just leave it with gentle words and never with an angry tone. 

♥ Never Have Leftover Food 

Jabir(ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) had asked for the leftovers of food on the plate and those stuck on the fingers to be cleaned while saying, "You do not know which part of your food that carries the blessings." 

General meaning--It is bad to have leftovers when eating as those leftover food are part of God's gift to us. Make it a habit not to have any leftover even of the slightest bit. If we are quite full in the first place, do not take food in excess. Always try to finish those food which are left on the plate and those stuck on our fingers. Maybe those leftovers are the ones that carry the blessing. 

♥ Pick Up The Food that Fell 

Anas(ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) said, "If the food that you are eating falls, pick it up and clean it. Then eat it and do not leave it for the satan." 

General meaning--If it happens that the food you are eating falls and it can be cleaned, pick it up to be eaten. If not, the food will be wasted and wasting is the habit of satan. But if the food which falls cannot be cleaned or if it falls on a very dirty spot, do not eat it or it will only cause illness. 

♥ Do Not Drink While Standing 

Ali(ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) said , "Let none of you drink while standing." 

General meaning--Drinking while standing is taken as a rude and snobbish act. Muslims should never try to imitate the unbelievers. If however, we cannot find a seat, it is excusable to drink while standing. It is still required for us to sit while eating or drinking.
