Invocations before eating

  1. إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلْيَقُلْ: (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ)، فَإِنْ نَسِيَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ: (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ)

    (When you are about to eat, you should say:(Bismil-lah.)and if you forget to say it before starting, then you should say (when you remember):In the name of Allah in it’s beginning and end.)

  2. مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ الطَّعَامَ فَلْيَقُلْ: (اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَأَطْعِمْنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ)، وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ لَبَنًا فَلْيَقُلْ: (اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ)

    (Whomever Allah feeds, should say:(O Allah, bless it for us and feed us better than it.) and whomever Allah gives milk to drink should say:(O Allah, bless it for usand give us more of it.))
