Dua for Eating

Eating is a clear sign of the provisions provided by Allah. We should be grateful for the food we have and make dua for those who do not have enough to eat. We should also make dua for those who have prepared the food for us. Provisions provided by Allah are a blessing, and here are 3 short duas to remember this.

Dua for Eating #1 - Hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)

Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'When any one of you eats, let him mention the name of Allah the Exalted. If he forgets to mention the name of Allah at the beginning, then let him say: 'Bismillah' (in the name of Allah) at the beginning and at the end'. From Riyad as-Salihin 728.

Dua for Eating #2 - Giving Thanks to the Provider

O Allah, feed the one who has fed me, and give drink to the one who has given me drink. From Hisn al-Muslim 183.

Dua for Eating #3 - Remembering Those Without Enough

All praise is due to Allah who has fed us, given us drink, sufficed us, and sheltered us. How many are those who do not have enough and have no shelter? From Muslim 2715.
