Eating Together from One Plate
It is a Sunnah of our beloved Nabi ﷺ to eat collectively and not alone. This includes:
- Eating in small or large groups, be it with family, friends or other people (to avoid eating alone)
- To share food with others
- To eat from a single plate
Some benefits of practicing upon this sunnah:
- The rewards and blessings of practicing Sunnah
- Pleasure of Allah and his Nabi ﷺ
- More blessings in the food we eat
- We will feel more full with less food
- More love between family members and friends
- If sharing food with pious and good people then effects of good company
- A person brings in to practice the quality of sharing with others and removes greed and selfishness.
