Revive A Sunnah - Eating Together




“Eat together and not separately, for the blessing is associated with the company.”- Ibn Majah

*Eating together is Sunnah and it is a cause of Barakah (Blessing) in the meal.
*The Sunnah is to share meals with people regardless of their wealth or status. This is because accepting invitations builds good feelings among people and increases love between the Muslims.
*Eating with others bring about harmony and understanding among people. People are usually more relaxed when eating in company, this is one reason why families should always try to eat Together. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought the attention of Muslims to the importance of eating together (Note: ‘Eating together’ here does not imply mixed eating by males and females at parties or banquets)
