Mentioning the Name Of God When Eating

This hadith is about the importance of mentioning the name of Allah when eating. It is narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar that the Prophet was brought a piece of cheese in Tabuk and he called for a knife, mentioned Allah's name and cut it. This shows us that even when doing something as simple as cutting food, we should remember to mention the name of God. Doing so will remind us to be thankful for all that we have been blessed with and will help us stay mindful throughout our day-to-day activities. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us to be mindful when eating; not just what we eat but how we eat it too! We should take time to appreciate our meals before consuming them and thank God for providing them for us.
