Thankful for the food we eat
God said, “eat from the rizq your Lord gave you, and be thankful to Him.” (Saba: 15)
He also said, “you who believe, eat the good things We gave you. be thankful to Allah, if it’s truly Him you worship.” (Al-Baqarah: 172)
And this: “if We wanted, We could’ve made the water salty. so why don’t you give thanks?” (Al-Waaqi’ah: 70)
It's a blessing to be able to eat and drink. Cherish it.
