Blessings of Sustenance: Duas for Eating

Beginning and ending our meals with the remembrance of Allah. Created by Abdul Wahab.

Before Eating

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

Bismillah.

'In the Name of Allah.'

If One Forgets at the Beginning

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ

Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu.

'In the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end.'

After Eating

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi at'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah.

'All praise is for Allah who fed me this and provided it for me without any might nor power from myself.'
