As I said to you Mr.Popat … Isa (AS) does not have to eat to be alive … You are placing power in the food … Whereas it is established 'aqeedah of Muslims that all power belongs to Allah (SWT) … This world is merely a deception … It shows us patterns for us to assert that the knife cuts, but really Allah (SWT) cuts. Food does not sustain, Allah (SWT) is The Sustainer, which means if He so Wills He can sustain in whatever ways He so chooses other than food.

A man came to the prophet Muhammad (SAAW) and said “I will not tie my camel and trust Allah”, the prophet Muhammad (SAAW) said " tie it and trust Allah."This Hadith does not indicate any pre-requisite for trusting Allah (SWT). It does not, therefore suggest that somehow there is a link between tying the camel (an action ) and putting one’s trust in Allah (SWT). However the Hadith conveys an important lesson to all of us: that while trust in Allah (SWT) is absolute being independent of what we do, it is our responsibility to act on what we intend to accomplish. In this case tying the camel was a right thing to do, if the person feared that the camel would run away. Therefore he should have taken the precaution regardless of his trust in Allah (SWT). Tying the camel does not take away from his trust in Allah (SWT), nor does it become a requirement for trusting Allah (SWT). Regardless of how he had acted the outcome would remain in accordance with the will of Allah (SWT). This understanding is in accordance with the above verses of the Quran, where the concept of absolute trust in Allah (SWT) is emphatically reiterated.

Aqeedah Corner: Tawwakul: Absolute trust in Allah (SWT)

That’s what im saying. Having absolute trust in Allah is necessary. However, we must strive ourself first and then leave it on Allah. Muhammad PBUH was right. Tie your camel and then trust Allah. It’s like you’re telling me we as humans dont have to do anything and Allah will do everything for us. Allah says that he does not change the condition of people, till they change it themselves. Ofcourse, its the Allah who will change it.. but we must do our part as well. We cannot expect the farms to grow wheat or rice by itself through the power of Allah. Yes, ofcourse Allah make it happen. We cannot expect to survive if we don’t eat. It’s like saying “allah will keep me alive if he wills”. You must eat, do your part in surviving and leave it entirely on to Allah.

What i’m saying is, you do your part first, then trust Allah!. Prepare for exams and then trust Allah that he will get you good grades etc..

Allah is saying that we did not send any prophet whose body did not require food. Yes, food is essential part of surviving. If someone no longer eats food and is still alive, then thats shirk, because only Allah is capable of doing that. Not any ordinary human being. We all have the continuous need of water,food, oxygen etc. How is Isa a.s any different human than us ?

The hadith your provided favors my point of view. Show me from anywhere in quran or hadith that he is eating. Show me that he is doing the part from his side to survive. Food is essential. No living creature is immune from it.
