What he meant was without a food it will be
difficult to worship God. Bread and food gives
strength to body and soul to perform obligations. The
main aim is to eat to survive rather than live to eat.
Considering above, the primary goal of eating
Prophet Mohammad (saww) was to prepare for
fulfilling ritual obligations.

The kinds of Food to Eat
God in the holy Quran says:

“Therefore eat of what Allah has given you, lawful and
good (things), and give thanks for Allah's favor if Him
1
do you serve”.
Prophet Mohammad (saww) used to eat the food which
was permissible (halal) by God, simple and beneficial.
On the other, Prophet’s role towards its people is
to guide; therefore he was careful by eating
permissible food. He loved to eat food with his
family and servants.
The prophet Mohammad (saww) insisted on eating
with others and to use to begin his meal by praising
his lord and ending by praise.
The permissible food not only covers halal food
but also other prospective such as whether you

have paid for the food which you are eating or
whether you have a permission to eat food.
