Story
Umar sat at the table. In front of him was bread, rice, and fruit. He smiled because he was hungry.
Before he started, his mother said, “Let us remember Allah.”
Umar looked up.
His mother asked, “Who gave us this food?”
Umar thought for a moment.
Then she said, “Allah gives us food.”
Umar looked at the bread. He looked at the fruit. He looked at the water in his cup.
“Allah gives us food,” he repeated.
His mother smiled. “Yes. So before we eat, we say, ‘Bismillah.’ And after we eat, we say, ‘Alhamdulillah.’”
Umar put his little hand near his plate and said, “Bismillah.”
He ate happily. When he finished, he smiled and said, “Alhamdulillah.”
His mother nodded with joy. “Very good. Allah is the One who gives us food.”
Umar looked at his plate again and whispered, “Thank You, Allah.”
