What to do before eating
Before eating endeavour to:
- Wash your hands
- Say Bismillah
- Eat with your right hand
- And eat from what is nearest
What to say after eating
Many people have food but no appetite, while others starve. When finishing a meal you should say "Alḥamdulillahi ladhī aṭʿamanī hadhā wa razaqanīhi min gayri ḥawlin minnī walā quwwatin" "Praise be to God Who fed me and provided for me without my power or strength".
