MODERATION IN EATING AND DRINKING

All praise be to Allah, the best planner of all the worlds. He created the earth and the sky. He granted us rain of sweet water from clouds, He thereby has caused grains and vegetation to flourish. He decreed sustenance and nourishment. He has by edibles preserved the strength of living creatures, assisted them in acts of obedience and good deeds by them earning good and permitted food.

We bear witness that there is no God besides Allah. He is one, He has no partner, and we bear witness that our leader and master Muhammed Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam is His servant and messenger who has been gifted with dazzling miracles. Continued salutations and blessings through all periods of time be upon Him, His family and His companions. May these salutations double with the succession of time.

Allah Ta'aala says in the Quraan: "Eat and drink but waste not by excess."

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Abstinence in the world is not in prohibiting the Halaal and nor by destroying wealth, but true abstinence is not to rely more in your possessions but to have firm faith in Allah." (Tirmizi, Ibn Majah)

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "(Jibraeel Alaihis Salaam) has inspired in my heart that no man will die until his sustenance is fulfilled. So fear Allah, be moderate in the means of obtaining sustenance and let not the delay of sustenance incite you to disobey Allah. Surely the bounties of Allah are not obtained, except through obedience to Him." (Sharhus- Sunnah and Baihaqi)

Abbas Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that a man came to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam and asked: "O Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, whenever I eat meat, I am fattened and therefore I have made it Haraam (impermissible) for me." The Aayah then revealed was "O you who believe, make not unlawful the goods things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not violate (The rights of the permissibilities of Allah)." (Kamaalain from Tirmizi)

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: A sustained person who is thankful is like a fasting person who has Sabr (patience). (Tirmizi, Ibn Majah)

I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytaan, the accursed.

Allah Ta'aala says in the Quraan: "Do not attribute falsehood with your tongues by expressing 'This is lawful and this is forbidden' in contradiction to the law of Allah. Those who ascribe false things to Allah will never prosper."

(Khutbaatul Ahkaam Pg 24,25)

WHEN SEEING SOMEONE IN ADVERSITY

When seeing someone in any difficulty (such as sickness, disease, misfortune) say (in such a way that he does not hear):

"Alhamdu lillahil lazi aafaani mimmab talaahu bihi wa faddhalani ala kathirim miman khalaqa tafdheelaa"

Praise and thanks be to Allah who has granted me safety from the misfortune you are in and (thanks to him for) He has conferred on me special favours above a great part of His creation.

It is mentioned in the Hadeeth that anyone who recites the above verse when seeing another in any adversity, Allah will safeguard him from that adversity all his life.

(Al Hisnul Haseen Pg 209)
