Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Baqarah (The Cow - 2:172)
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.
1 Hadith
Al-Miqdam ibn Ma’dikarib reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The son of Adam cannot fill a vessel worse than his stomach, as it is enough for him to take a few bites to straighten his back. If he cannot do it, then he may fill it with a third of his food, a third of his drink, and a third of his breath.”

Reflection Point
Looking after one's overall wellbeing can often be a tricky task.
With so many contributing factors to a person's overall health.
It can be difficult to decide what to focus on!
One core area that often gets overlooked.
Is making sure that you maintain a healthy diet.
Why does it get overlooked?
Because observing a healthy diet is difficult to manage.
As it requires time, knowledge, money and variation.
So what's the solution?
Simplicity.
Try not to over complicate your foods.
And eat light regularly.
It’s the exact example of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Leave ⅓ for food. ⅓ for air and ⅓ for water.
As Ramadhan 2024 approaches, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about how to adjust your eating habits, if you haven't already started.
Think about..
What changes would you like to make?
What foods you would like to introduce?
And most importantly, what foods you would like to cut back on?
This week, we have designed a creative and informative infographic to help you simplify your eating habits. We take a deep dive into the stomach, to find a selection of healthy tips to maintain a healthy diet. As part of our concern for your overall well being, it’s important for you to consider what you put into your body and how much of it goes in!
As you know..
Habits take a while to change..
So it’s always best to start early Insha Allah.
Remember...
"Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it."
