On Finishing a Meal Alhamdu liLlah-illadhee at- `ama-naa wa saqaa-naa wa- ja`alanaa minal-muslimeen All praise belongs to Allah, Who provided us with food and drink and enabled us to be Muslims (submissive to God)( Tirmidhi Kitab-ud-Da`awaat ) As we finish eating, we thank God for providing us with ‘material food’ to meet the physical needs of our body. And we also thank God for providing us with the ‘spiritual sustenance’ (i. e. , Islam), which quenches our spiritual thirst and spiritual hunger. 6. On Leaving Home BismiLlaah-i tawakkaltu `alAllahi walaa haula walaa quwwata illaa biLlaah-i (I leave my house), in the name of Allah and I put my trust in Allah. (One has) no power (to be safe from sins) and no power (to do good) except with (the help of) Allah. By saying this valuable prayer, we put ourselves and our house under Divine protection against all the potential evils, mishaps and dangers of the world.
