The Treatise on Rights by Imam Zain al Abidin (A.S) Rights of Allah -8




8. Rights of Stomach

"The right of your stomach is that you make it into a container for that which is unlawful to you and you eat no more than your fill." The Ima`m, peace be on him, expressed the rights of stomach against man, of which are the following: 

A. He should not eat unlawful food, for it results in bad qualities such as the cruelty of the heart and negligence which deviates him from the straight path. 

B. He should be moderate in having lawful foods and drinks. 

C. He should not eat more than his fill, lest he should be afflicted by indigestion which causes laziness, turning away from kindness and generosity and noble moral traits. Besides it stops all the mental abilities and leads to bodily diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, and plumpness.
