*AN AYAH A DAY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND ISLAM, INCREASES YOUR FAITH & BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO ALLAH*
*QURAN AYAH/VERSE*.
65. O people of the Scripture (Jews & Christians)! Why do you dispute about Ibrahim/Abraham (May Allah be pleased with him), while the Taurat/Torah & Injeel/Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have you then no sense?
66. Verily, you are those who have disputed about that of which you have knowledge. Why do you then dispute concerning that of which you have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows & you know not.
*QURAN 03 vs 65-66*.
*HADITH*.
Umar Bin Abi Salama (May Allah be pleased with him), narrated that, I was a boy under the care of Prophet Muhammed (Peace be on him) & my hand use to go around the dish while I was eating. So he said to me, *O boy! Mention the Name of Allah & eat with your right hand, eat of the dish that is nearer to you*. Since then, I applied those instructions when eating.
*SAHIH BUKHARI, BK. 65, HADITH NO. 7.288 (FOOD, MEALS)*.
*BROTHERS & SISTERS*,
We learn from the Hadith above about the ethics of eating. Let us teach our family while we perform our 5 daily Sallat on time, participate in the 6 days Shawwal fasting, offer our charity, make Dua/pray for our deceased parents, family and friends etc as well as those of us alive for Allah to grant us the good in this world & the ultimate best in the hereafter.
