Eating and drinking is not only a physical, but also a spiritual need All the people living in the world know that food and drink is an indispensable need of the human body because without it a person cannot survive for a long time; but most of us are oblivious to the fact that eating and drinking is a physical necessity. There is also a spiritual need All the people living in the world know that food and drink is an indispensable need of the human body because without it a person cannot survive for a long time; but most of us are oblivious to the fact that eating and drinking is a physical necessity.
There is also a spiritual need. The clear reason for this is that a person also needs physical strength to perform spiritual actions. For example, a healthy person can perform the Arkan Salat according to the principles of Sharia, but a weak person can. It cannot be expected of a man. It turns out that a balanced diet and the resulting good health help immensely in our spiritual flight. This is the main reason due to which good and halal food has been repeatedly emphasized in the Holy Quran and hadiths. Remember! From the way we get food to the way we use it, all these indicate the strength or weakness of our relationship with Allah Almighty, that's why a place in the Holy Qur'an Allah Almighty says: "O people! Eat whatever is lawful and pure in the earth and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Be sure that he is an open enemy to you.
He will say to you that you should do evil and indecency." (Surat al-Baqarah: 168-169) In this verse, Allah, the Most High, has ordered to eat the halal things on earth and has also emphasized not to follow the footsteps of Satan; What this means is that the devil is caught in the trap of his malicious deception and presents the forbidden and harmful things as desirable to humans; For this reason, from earning to eating, it is important for us to be alert and aware that the things that are forbidden per se, such as alcohol, pigs and dead animals, etc.
It is everyone's responsibility to avoid bribery and theft etc. The right choice of food is necessary in the light of divine guidance because not doing so can cause problems for us. There are very simple examples of this in the Holy Quran. The reason for Adam and Eve's departure from Paradise was the consumption of forbidden food, and in the same way, God's blessings were revealed to the children of Israel in the form of manna and salwa, but the ungratefulness of those people towards this blessing created problems for them. done Therefore, we should always be careful so that our wrong choice of food does not create problems for us. After reviewing the situation,
we should admit that in the present time, whether it is the problem of the decline of our spirituality or new problems from the local level to the global scale, one of the main reasons for all of them is our wrong choice of food and drink. is It is necessary to keep in mind that the solution of all our problems is with Allah Almighty, so we should keep all our problems in the court of Allah Almighty. The method for this is that we should first pray, recite and remember and then spread our hands before Allah, the Most High. This is the spiritual way to solve our problems; But we should also remember that this method of ours will be effective only when halal food reaches our body, as clearly stated in a hadith by the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: It doesn't happen."
(Muslim) As we have mentioned in the beginning of the article that eating and drinking is not only a physical necessity but also a spiritual necessity because health is an indispensable necessity for many worships. In this regard, one point that we all must pay attention to is that in today's advanced age, there are numerous companies manufacturing food products and these companies launch innumerable food products in the market. Many of these companies are just aiming to sell their products as much as possible, they have absolutely no idea that their products will have a negative impact on the health of those who use them. Harmful and prohibited ingredients are used sparingly.
In this regard, our responsibility is to get information about the ingredients of any product before using it; Especially do not buy things that are harmful to children. Since food and drink also affects our spirituality in different ways and we become victims of various spiritual diseases such as hardness of heart and distance from goodness etc., therefore awareness in the family, society and society is necessary in this regard; It has to work together and it has to start with ourselves.
