Before meals |
|
Recite: |
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ |
|
In the name of Allah and with the blessings of Allah I begin (eating)".
(Mustadrak) |
|
On forgetting to recite Bismillah at the beginning, recite: |
|
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ |
|
"In the name of Allah in the beginning and end". |
|
By not reciting Bismillah, Satan has an opportunity of partake in the food.
(Mishkat) |
