Islam is a complete guideline for each and every aspect of
our lives. While eating, we should follow certain steps that are described by
our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and which are necessary for maintaining a
healthy body. Do read the etiquettes of eating in
Islam in the following lines.
• You should wash your hands completely before
and after having the meal. Some people only reserve to wash only one hand or
some fingers that is not correct.
• One should recite “Bismillah” that is the only way of surviving
the life and for the health of your body. You should say it with a loud voice
so that other people also hear it and say it along with you.
• Do not put anything on the bread. We should
respect this blessing of God. Some people serve the meal while putting a bowl
on the bread which is against the etiquettes
of eating in Islam.
• Eat with right hand. Not only the eating,
there are many activities for which Islam has enforced us to use the right
hand.
• If some part of the bread has been dropped
down, you should pick it, clean it and eat it. It will be a good activity and
also included in the teachings of our beloved prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
• Do not eat too hot food as it can harm the
internal parts of mouth. Avoid blowing on food as it is against the etiquettes.
Similarly, many points have been mentioned in
the following Urdu article on the “Khana
Khaney ke Adaab”. Read it and act upon the advices to amuse God
by acting upon the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (SAW).
