MANNERS OF EATING & DRINKING
Wash your hands before taking your meals. It is keeping with the rules of
cleanliness and neatness that your mind should be satisfied about the
cleanliness of your hands before starting the meal.
Say
Bismilla hirrahhama nirrahim
' in the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent ; the Most Merciful ',
while starting the meal. Should you forget this, then say
As soon as you realise the oversight during the meal. Remember, the meal which
is not consecrated by the Name of Allah is made lawful by the devil for
himself.
Do not lean against anything when sitting down for a meal. Sit in a humble
position with your knees raised or legs crossed or with one knee prostrate and
the other one raised. The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h
) used to sit for meals. in this posture.
Always eat with your right hand. However, the left hand may be used
simultaneously with the right hand, if needed.
Use three fingers while eating. If required, use four fingers except the little
finger. Do not put your fingers in the food up to their roots.
Do not take a big morsel, nor a small one. Put the second morsel into your
mouth only after swallowing the first one.
Do not wipe your fingers with bread. This is a filthy habit.
Avoid brushing off the loaves and refrain from knocking them about also.
Eat out of the plate from the edge which is nearest to you. Do not put your
hand in the middle of the plate nor extend your hand to eat from that edge of
the plate which is nearer to other diners.
If the morsel drops from your hands pick it up and eat it after cleaning or
washing it.
Eat in company. Dining in company promotes cordiality and love and is a source
of blessing.
Do not find fault with the food. Leave it if you don't like it.
Do not eat while the food is piping hot or simmering.
Avoid breaking into guffaws or indulging in too much conversation during
dinner.
Do not sniff the food needlessly, It is bad habit. Do not often open your
mouth so wide during dinner that the other people may see the food you are
munching between your teeth, nor should you pick your teeth repeatedly in the
course of eating. The other diners will find this habit disgusting.
Sit Down to eat and sit down also while taking a drink of water. However, if
needed, you may eat fruit or drink water while standing.
If some soup is left over in the plate, drink it ; otherwise clear the
sediments from the plate with a finger and lick the finger.
Do not blow on the articles of food. The breath that we exhale is polluted and
poisonous.
Take three breathing pauses while drinking water. By this method you can drink
according to your need and get full satisfaction. Beware, drinking all the
water three is in the container in one breath may be harmful.
