Dua For Eating

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

In the name of Allah, O Allah, bless what You have provided for us, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.

The sunnah, or tradition, of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when it comes to eating is to eat with the right hand and to eat from the food directly in front of you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also encouraged using the index finger to push food into the mouth and the thumb to scoop food up.

As for the dua, or prayer, that is associated with eating; it is typically recited before and after the meal. Before the meal, the following dua is often recited:

“Bismillah, Allahumma barik lana fima razaqtana waqina athaban-nar”

Translation: “In the name of Allah, O Allah, bless what You have provided for us, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”

After the meal, the following dua is often recited:

“Alhamdulillahil-ladhi at’amanana wa saqaana wa ja’alana muslimin”

Translation: “Praise be to Allah who has fed us and given us to drink, and made us Muslims.”

These are the most common duas associated with eating, but many others can also be recited. The important thing is to have the intention to thank Allah for the food and seek His blessings.

Eternal Aid is a Leading Charity based in the United Kingdom, working globally.

A group of volunteers came together on this charity initiative and spent the next few years supporting various campaigns and appeals worldwide.

These volunteers were inspired by the depths of deprivation and need, as well as the opportunity to make a significant difference to communities all over the globe in desperate circumstances.

They decided to make it a permanent venture, and thus Eternal Aid was born. In the last few years, Eternal Aid has been successfully working in many countries. Eternal Aid has provided essentials such as food, water, clothing, medical equipment, and education, as well as developing sustainable projects.

Thanks to our regular donors, the wheels of our organisation continue to turn so effectively. By joining the Eternal Aid Family Scheme with a monthly direct debit, no matter how small, you are enabling us to maintain our projects and plan for the future so that when disaster strikes anywhere in the world, we are ready and our delivery can be immediate and efficient.

We support children, widows, orphans to create a better world via Education, Health & Water.
