alhamdulillah our prophet
was the greatest human being ever to
walk the earth and as humans he ate and
drank and lived like
humans eating is an essential part of
being
human and if a person has the right
intention it can be transformed into a
form of worship while still enjoying it
and benefiting from it and there were a
number of etiquettes that our Prophet
Alat wasam dealt with when
eating and we
cannot have them all in this short
period of time but we will try to study
as much as possible and you will find in
your textbooks inshallah what is related
to that and that what you should in all
benefit
from first of all it is prohibited for
Muslims to eat in gold or silver
utensils as a Prohibition came from the
prophet Alat wasam that whoever eats in
such gold or silver
utensils will only have this as fire in
his
intance in the day of judgment or on the
day of judgment in Hellfire and this
includes the plates the forks the uh
cups and the
likes and part of the eates which the
prophet taught
usat is when he saw a boy eating from a
plate
with the Muslims so they were all eating
from the same plate as it is the Sunnah
but the boy was eating from all over the
place as children would do probably
choose whatever they see most befitting
for them so the prophet
saidat
oh
boy say bismah eat with your right hand
and eat from what's in front of
you and not saying Bismillah is
something that Shan tries his level best
so that Muslims would be neglecting it
or forgetting it the proph Propet saidat
Satan makes the food that people did not
mention the name of Allah upon make ital
so he eats from it and due to our
forgetfulness
Allah has given us a way out so the
prophet
said if one of you forgets to
sayah at the beginning of eating his
food and then he remembers he should
say in the name of Allah in the
beginning and at the
end so eating with your right left hand
is
prohibited because the prophet
saidat do not use your left for eating
for Shan eats with his left hand and
this is definitely contrary to what a
lot of the people do in restaurants when
they hold the fork with the left and the
knife with the right and they start to
eat with their left
hand the
Sunnah is to eat with three fingers so
to pick the food with three fingers and
this is the modest and economical and
healthiest way of
eating because eating with five fingers
is beasty like the beasts do like this
and people who are Never full or never
having
enough but people who are moderate in
their eating and they eat because they
have to in order to live they would eat
it moderately and in a very uh nice way
but if someone is in need to use the
other fourth and fifth finger while
eating this is permissible and there is
no problem in eating with your fork or
with your spoon this is the OWN Sunnah
way of eating but if you eat with a
spoon that's totally fine part of the
eates of the
Prophet is that we eat from what's in
front of us why the prophet said in an
authentic the blessing the Baraka
descends at the middle of the food so
eat from the edges and do not eat from
the middle this is what the prophet said
Al IM Shafi from this Hadith prohibited
eating from the middle and said you have
to eat from the edges and specifically
from what's in front of you and this is
when it's a broth when it is rice and
the likes so it's all the same almost
you have to eat from the edges but when
it's something to be picked like a bowl
of fruit for example or dates or sweets
there's no problem in picking from all
over the place or even from uh uh uh the
middle because this is different from
rice or a broth or a a soups and the
likes now the blessing of Allah
that descends we all look for it so part
of the eating etiquette so you can get
this blessing is that we eat all
together the prophet
saidat eat all together and do not
disperse do not eat
alone because the blessing is with the
congregation and this was said to the
companions when they used to have the
foods and go under the shade here or
next to this rock and they eat
individually and they suffered of hunger
and the food wasn't sufficient so the
prophet directed them to eat together
and once they did this they found the
Baraka with the grace of
Allah part of the Baraka is also found
when you eat with your hand I know a lot
of the westerners would say that this is
not part of the eating etiquette
Etc we don't care what they say this is
our religion and the prophet used to eat
with his hands Al
his and we follow suit and this is the
Sunnah but it's not this Sunnah that
we've abandoned
alone after eating with your hand the
Sunnah is to lick your
fingers and not to wipe them with uh
tissues or uh the likes because the
prophet said you have to lick them you
don't know where the Baraka is and we
all know that the fried uh chicken they
usually say it's Finger Licking Good so
why is it for them okay and civilized
and when we do it because the prophet
did itam it is uncivilized it doesn't
make any
sense also a lot of the people think
that part of the etiquettes of eating
and part of the sunn is not to speak
while eating and this is totally not
right the companions used to speak while
they're while they eat and the prophet
used to
teach his companions while uh eating so
there's no problem in eating or giving
Salam uh speaking while eating and
giving Salam while eating as as
well one of the etiquettes of the
Prophet is not to blow on hot food or
hot
drinks usually because people eat with
you and when you blow germs may fall
into the food maybe something that
people are disgusted by may fall into
the food so this is not
something uh uh
correct part of the prophet's
teachings is to be moderate when eating
so the prophet told
usam that a Believer eats in one stomach
while a disbeliever eats in seven
stomachs or intestines and this is to
indicate that a Believer does not want
to H the D and collect and
eat without thinking rather he eats to
survive while the disbeliever eats
because he wants to gather everything he
can before he dies and he wants to enjoy
everything without any limitation which
is bad for you the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said in an authentic
Hadith the son of Adam would not fill a
pot worse than his
stomach it is sufficient for him to eat
few morsels
that would straighten up his
posture if he must eat more than that
then one3 for his food oneir for his
drink and oneir for his
breathing and also among the etiquettes
of our Prophet
Alat while eating that he sallallahu
alaihi wasallam was
a very polite and
nice and easygoing person whenever he
was offered food he would never
criticize it if he likes it he eats it
if he doesn't like it he leaves it and
he does not yeah uh
um go ahead and uh eat from it because
criticizing the food that Allah has
blessed you with and deprived other from
shows a huge deal of ingratitude to
Allah and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam used to show his gratitude to
Allah subhanahu wa taala there were of
course certain foods that the prophet
did not eat because he was not
accustomed to so when he was offered uh
a desert lizard once he refrained from
eating it and we was asked is it haram
he said no but it's not found in the
land of my
people and also the prophet used to
refrain Al from eating food that
contained garlic or onions because of
the offensive smell and we know that the
prophet used to speak with the Archangel
giel uh so peace be upon him so the
prophet did not want this to offend jbel
peace be upon
him when
consuming the food you say bismah and
when you conclude eating you also praise
Allah asael where the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said
Allah is pleased when his servant eats
or drinks and he Praises him for eating
and
drinking and there are a number of Dua
that we
are instructed to say after finishing uh
the the food such
as and whoever says this after eating
Allah would forgive his previous sins
and this is mindblowing Allah feeds us
Allah provide us with the water we drink
and when we praise him for what he has
given us he forgives our sins and the
prophet used to also Alam offer Dua for
those who hosted him by
saying or sometimes he would
say and the likes which you would find
in your textbooks
