Darul Uloom Zakariyya

And now the time is up. The time for the sighting of the new moon is near. Pray to Allah that He give this humble slave to follow some part of the pattern and example set by those saintly elders and predecessors.

I am like that blind man holding a lamp in his hand and says to others: “Come take advantage of this light and derive benefit therefrom" while, he, the blind man himself is deprived of gaining any benefit.

In my humble opinion all that has been written will be sufficient to provide answers to most of the difficulties and problems in a concise manner.

And I hope that all the matters under discussion would have been clearly and adequately answered. But remember, these are my own humble and imperfect thoughts. It does not mean that everyone must accept eveything I say: If my thoughts are found to make sense, then accept. Otherwise look upon it as the unacceptable fruits from my pen.

“And my help comes only from Allah.”

“0 Allah, I have been grossly unjust to my own soul, and there is none to forgive sins except Thee. Forgive me with a special forgiveness from Thee and have Mercy on me. Verily Thou art the Forgiver, the Merciful.”

And lastly may Allah's choicest blessings descend upon the most virtous of His creation, the Leader of mankind, and upon his family, his companions, their followers and their followers and upon all those bearers of the Deen, through Thy Mercy 0 Most Merciful of all Merciful Ones.

Yours faithfully, Zakariyya Kandhlawy. 29 Shabaan 1357

THE MANNER OF EATING OF Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam

41. If Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam saw someone eating with his left hand, he would take hold of his hand and shake it so that the lukmah (morsel) fell from it, and then he would tell him to use his right hand for eating.

42. If the food for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam was of one type, then he would eat from directly in front of himself. But, if there were several different kinds of food in the dish, then he would not hesitate to reach to the other side of the dish.

43. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam used to eat dates that were old, after first cleaning out the inside.

44. After eating, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would wash his hands and dry them by rubbing them over his mubarak face and head.

45. When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam wanted to eat a chicken, then he would order it to be restrained from wandering around outside for several days. Then he would slaughter it and have it cooked.

46. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam used to like khichri very much. (Khichri is rice and dhaal boiled together.)

47. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam used to like soup with roti or bread soaked in it.

48. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam used to like to have butter with dates very much.

49. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam used to eat dates together with milk, and said that these are both excellent foods.

50. When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam took the first lukmah (morsel) of food, he would say: "Ya waasi'al maghfirah"(O the One Who forgives abundantly)

51. When food was brought before Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, he would say: "Oh Allah, give us barkat in what you have provided for us and give us even better food to eat than this.”

52. When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam had finished eating, he would say: "All praise be to Allah, who bas given us food and drink and made us Muslims.”

53. When the dastarkhan (tablecloth) was lifted, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would say: "All praise be to Allah, praise that is plentiful, pure and brings with it barkat, and not that which just suffices, and not what is restrained, and not that which makes us feel independent from it”

54. When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam was invited somewhere, then after the meal, he would always make this duaa for his host: "Oh Allah grant them barkat in what you have provided them, and forgive them and have mercy on them.”
