[القلب الحزين]

Fruit before Meat



"(And with fruits, any that they may select - And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.)"….

In the Quran, we find that on mentioning the food that the people of Paradise eat, Allah always mentions fruits first then meat. The great medical wisdom behind this order is that fruits contain simple, easy to absorb and digest sugars that are considered an essential source of energy for the human body, and can therefore satisfy the hunger quickly. On the contrary, if one starts with meat, the body will take around three hours to complete the digestion of the meat. We can see how the verse (And with fruits, any that they may select - And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.) [Al-Waqi’h 20-21] indicates the medical fact, and try to make use of it during the month of Fasting (Ramadan) by starting our meals with fruits
