The Importance of a Balanced Diet in Islam
Healthy Lifestyle of A MuslimA healthy diet is emphasized as part of overall well-being.
Sunnah: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recommended eating in moderation, saying,
_"The worst vessel the son of Ādam can fill is his stomach. It is sufficient for him to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight, but if he must, then a third for food, a third for drink, and a third for air."_ Sunan Tirmidhī.
Imām Ibn Qayyim mentions:
“When a person is moderate in his eating and takes only so much of it as he needs, keeping a balance of quantity and quality, the body benefits more from this than it does from a large amount of food.” At-Tibb An-Nabawī [p.20]
Action Plan:
- Follow the Prophet's ﷺ guidance by consuming food in moderation, dividing your stomach into thirds.
- Regular excerise is advised to keep fit and healthy.
- Eat only what is necessary to sustain yourself, avoiding gluttony and food waste, as both are discouraged in Islām.
