• His way of living and practice can be our lighthouse for our daily life

• Food is one of the basic necessities of life. • It is essential for the normal growth and

development and to sustain life. • All the essential nutrients must be eaten in

the exact proportion. • Too much of one nutrient and the absence of

another, will lead to disease. • Like everything else in life, there must be a

balance, a point so often emphasized in the Qura’n and the“Sunnah”

• Islam draws a basic distinction between “Needs” and “Wants”.

• Human needs are limited but their wants are unlimited.

• Every human being needs minimum food, minimum shelter, minimum clothing, and maximum education

• For a Muslim the minimum food required for the healthy functioning of his body is also the “Optimum” requirement.

• In other words, enough is enough. Indeed, the “Sunnah” , like the Qura’n, had a lot to do with the eating habits of people.
