How much of a Naimaat is food, do we realize this?

without nutritious and good food, survival will be hard for sometime and then impossible.
as a bounty of the Maker, why is food then wasted?
any hadith that admonishes to be mindful of not wasting food?
please share.

Re: How much of a Naimaat is food, do we realize this?

thanks for this thread, especially during ramadan

"It is He Who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for God loveth not the wasters." 6:141

also we all know the hadith where Prophet (pbuh) said to fill our stomach with 1/3 food, 1/3 water and the rest is for air.

we find that in tarawih, people like to BURP burp and burp some more.. if they had ate 1/3, it wouldn't be like this.

Thanks, Cricketplaya.

this is such a big concern. especially, with food that does not have a long storage life like cut fruit chaat or cooked meat. it is so simple, not to make food in excess or store it properly or given appropriately to animals, but trashing prepared food is just a zulm.
may people realize this.

Very true, especially in Ramadan, I hope we understand that others barely get food to break their fast.

Re: How much of a Naimaat is food, do we realize this?

us pakis need to pay special attention this! ppl go to other ppls house and fill up their plates as if they havn't eaten for a week, and as if they aren't going to for another! it ticks me off so much! Mums, putting 2 drumsticks, 3 kebabs, saalun, etc, etc in their 8 year old kid's plate... and most of it is wasted as an 8 year old can never eat that much!and u cant salvage the food bcoz it is already in someone elses plate! this makes me sooooooooooooooooo angry!!!!!

I am acquainted with a person who always does this, I tell her to take less every time but that girl.... May Allah help us all.

sorry, no hadith, but one thing is for sure, we will be held accountable for all the blessing that Allah SWT bestowed upon us on the Day od Judgement, kaisey apne khuda key saamne pesh hoon gai aggar ache khase khana ko waste kar te hain? kiya jawab ho ga?
