While we're waiting for the coffee here at
this place called Dos in Makkat Al Mukarama
in a place called, Lawwali.
Let me remind you that we, as Muslims,
are not supposed to waste food. Something very
important. Many times people take things, especially when
it comes to a buffet. And we take
much more than we would eat simply because
we're hungry, number 1. Number 2 is because
it's a buffet and we feel it's okay.
I'll eat whatever I can, leave whatever I
cannot. That is haram. Haram in the sense
that to waste. Allah Almighty tells us those
who waste are brethren of shaitan.
And this is why it's important even if
you're in a buffet or the food is
free, take a little, eat if you really
want, go back and get again. But don't
waste. If someone's offering you something free, it
doesn't mean you're gonna take it because it's
free. You can re you can refuse it
if you're not gonna make use of it
so that someone else can benefit.
If you're eating and you're wasting,
trust me, you probably would be earning a
sin rather than earning a reward.
These are good words.
These are good words. You and I are
guilty at times of taking in our plates
more than we can actually eat. So therefore,
when you're hungry at times, we end up
taking more. The same applies to shopping. If
you go shopping for groceries when you're hungry,
trust me I'm guilty of it as well
we end up taking more things because we're
hungry
go grocery shopping after you've had a beautiful
meal you'll only take what's necessary Allah bless
you guys
