Dua Before Eating

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

In the name of Allah.

Listen: Dua Before Eating

When and why we say it

Say this short dua right before you take your first bite of food or your first sip of a drink. It means you are beginning with the name of Allah, who gave you the meal in front of you. It is only two short words, so even the youngest children can learn it quickly and never forget it.

Practise with reminders and stars

The Deeniyat Kids app reads each dua aloud and rewards children for saying it every day.
