Eat, drink and, but do not be extravagant.

Eid is a time of joy. It is a celebration of a grand achievement having completed a month of fast and having worshipped Allah with a higher level of intensity than other months. Eid is also a time of celebration, joy, food and drink. A great blessing from Allah that we often don’t ponder about, is the ability to enjoy food and drink, due to the gift of our taste buds. Of course, the primary function of food is nourishment, and Allah could have made our bodies in a way that we are simply sustained by our food and drink, not that we enjoy the process.

In our modern era, we are in a unique privileged time, where we have access to every cuisine under

When we come to the prayer, especially in the congregational prayers, Allah wants us to present ourselves before Him with the best manners, to feel good, and also to look good. That's why Allah says in Surah Al-Araaf:

يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُوا۟ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

"O children of Adam, take your beautiful adornments at every masjid. And eat and drink, but do not be excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who transgress." (7:31)

However, I don't think that the purpose of this first command in this verse is to impress Allah by just wearing nice and clean clothes. If the heart is not present and humbl

'And eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allâh) likes not Al-Musrifûn (those who waste by extravagance)'{Surah Al-A‘raaf 7: Verse 31} In al-Fataawa al-Hindiyyah it says: Eating falls into different categories: Obligatory – which is that which will ward off death. If a person stops eating and drinking until he dies, then he has committed a sin. That which is rewarded – which is what will give him more energy so that he is able to pray standing up and makes it easy for him to fast. Permissible – which is more than that, to the point of eating one’s fill, so that he will have more physical strength. There is no reward for this and it is not regarded as sinful

Simple advice from the Quran: 'Eat and drink, but do not be excessive.' [Al-Araf:31] Enjoy yourself with those things which Allah has made halal for you, but don't go overboard.

On Food, Overeating, and Feeding Others The Messenger of Allah ﷺ‎ said, 'The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach' (Tirmidhi). Ibn Rajab said: 'This Hadeeth is a basic in the fundamentals of medicine.' Aisha (R) said, 'Verily, the first trial to occur in this nation after the passing of its Prophet ﷺ‎ was people eating to their fill. For when people fill their stomachs, their bodies are fattened, their hearts are hardened, and their desires are uncontrollable.' (Ibn Abī Dunyā) Allah says: {O children of Adam, take your adornment at every Masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.} [Qur'an 7:31] One day t
