After Eating

 

🍴 Dua After Eating

When we finish a meal, our body feels satisfied, but the heart feels even lighter when it ends with gratitude. The Prophet ﷺ would thank Allah for every bite, teaching us that true satisfaction comes not from what fills our stomachs, but from what fills our hearts with shukr (thankfulness).

Arabic:

الْـحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا، وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

Transliteration:

Alhamdu lillāhilladhī at‘amanī hādhā, wa razaqanīhi min ghayri ḥawlin minnī wa lā quwwah

Translation:

All praise is for Allah who fed me this and provided it for me without any might or power from myself.

(Sunan Abu Dawood, 4023; Tirmidhi, 3458)

Virtue:

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever eats food and says this dua, all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Tirmidhi, 3458)

Explanation:

A believer’s meal ends not with fullness, but with forgiveness. Gratitude turns ordinary food into a means of reward, reminding us that every blessing—big or small—deserves praise to the One who gave it.
