The Book About the Etiquette of Eating
كتـــــاب أدب الطعام
This section gathers the etiquette of eating and drinking, beginning with mentioning Allah's name before a meal and thanking Him after. Its chapters cover simple, grateful habits at the table: not finding fault with food, eating from what is nearest, sharing with others, and good manners when drinking. The aim is to make even an ordinary meal an act done with mindfulness and gratitude.
