Dowra 2007
Part five
Awarif al-Marif
They used to eat and start with Bismillah for the first morsel, then Bismillah Ar-Rahman for the second, then Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem for the third
To bring with three breaths
The sleep of a scholar is worship
Like the sleep of the faster
The most important thing about food that is halal
To partake in permissible food needs a lot of knowledge
Not just Bismillah and eat
Every tree in paradise says Subhanllah, La illah ila Allah, Allahuakbar – Praise be God’s, there is no deity except God, God is the greatest.
Wash your hands before food – this shows gratefulness and this will not prevent you from it later
As it states in the Quran, “If you are grateful, you will be given more.”
A date was found in the street the Prophet said, “If I was fearful that you were not alms I would’ve eaten you.” He gave it to his companions
When you eat say Bismillah – in the name of Allah
Don’t eat anything that you haven’t pronounced the name of Allah over
Imam Ghazali (may Allah be pleased with him) lived until he was 55 but benefited the Muslims immensely
When you are cooking pronounce the name of Allah
“I eat and I pray,” said Imam Sharwadi, this means his eating and prayer, he was in the same state – worship
Mention your Lord, mention Allah, mention the Prophet (Peace and blessings f Allah be upon him)
Use the supplications after you finish eating
Etiquettes of food
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) told Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), “Put salt in your food because it is a cure for seventeen illnesses.”
Its better to have many people eating
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said, “The best of food is the one with the most hands.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said, “I eat like a slave and I sit like a slave.”
When the companions would eat with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) they would wait until he would begin
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said, “Eat, drink and give with your right hand because satan eats, drinks and gives with the left hand.”
To complain about food looses its blessing
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said, “What a blessed sauce vinegar is, O’ Allah bless us by it, as it was the food of the Prophets before me, a house is not poor without it.”
The disobedient and the hypocrites are all Muslims, they are all Muslims
