Fear Allaah in the amount of food you cook, Fear Allaah in the amount of food you eat, Fear Allaah in the amount of food that goes to WASTE!!! Ramadaan is NOT a month of extravagance. FEAR ALLAAH!!! On the authority of Al-Miqdaam ibn Maadiy-Karib who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (salAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) saying: "No human ever filled a vessel worse than the stomach. Sufficient for any son of Adam are A FEW MOUTHFULS to keep his back straight. But if it must be, then one third for his food, one third for his drink and one third for his breath (this is the MAXIMUM!)." ~ [Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasaa’I, Ibn Majah – Hadith sahih]. Al-Hassan Al-Basri: The test of Adam, peace be upon him, was food and it is your test until Qiyaamah. And, it used to be said: Whoever takes control of his stomach gets control of all good deeds. And: Wisdom does not reside in a full stomach. One day, Al-Hassan offered some food to his companion who said: I have eaten until I am no longer able to eat. To which Al-Hassan said: Subhaana Allah! Does a Muslim eat until he is no longer able to eat? In Muslim and Bukhari: "The BELIEVER eats with one stomach while the KAAFIR eats with seven stomachs." Meaning: The believer eats with the manners of Islam and in moderation, while the kaafir eats based on desires and gluttony and so he eats with seven stomachs. Allaah says: "Then, they were followed by generations who neglected the prayer and followed their appetites. They will encounter a pit of fire except for those who repent…" ~ [Maryam 59-60].
