"Dream - Every action taken by all followers of religion is always recommended to begin with a prayer. In Islamic teachings, there is an encouragement to recite a prayer before eating any dish. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught his followers about the importance of reciting a prayer before eating. The short recitation at least includes saying the basmalah, "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim." Not only does it make the food a blessing, but the habit of mentioning Allah's name also keeps humans away from the temptations of Satan. The virtue of reciting the basmalah before eating is not only a form of gratitude to Allah but also serves as a protection from all evils that may lurk."

"Rasulullah saw then explained that he had just seen the devil vomiting due to a short recitation. The recitation in question is the basmalah. Therefore, Islam teaches its followers to recite the basmalah first before eating. If the basmalah is not recited, then the devil will also enjoy the food we consume. Dream friends certainly wouldn’t want that, right? If Dream friends remember in the middle of eating and have not recited the basmalah, then you can recite it immediately. At that moment, the devil will also vomit all the food he has eaten."

This is also explained in the following hadith: From Umayyah bin Makhsiy, one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was sitting, there was a man who was eating and he did not say the basmalah until his food was almost finished, with only one bite left. Then, when he put that bite into his mouth, he (remembered and) said, “Bismillahi awwalahu wa aakhirahu.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) then laughed. He said: “Satan continued to eat with him, but when he said the basmalah, Satan immediately vomited what was in his stomach.” (HR. Abu Daud)

"Before starting to eat, it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly. This not only maintains cleanliness but also follows the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

"Before eating, it is recommended to recite a prayer. A simple prayer like "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" or a longer prayer like "Allahumma barik lana fima razaqtana waqina ‘azaban-nar" (O Allah, bless us in the sustenance You have given us and protect us from the torment of the fire)."

Rasulullah saw advised to eat with the right hand. This is mentioned in the hadith:

“If one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and if he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, because Satan eats and drinks with his left hand.” (HR. Muslim).

"Rasulullah saw taught us to eat from the part that is closest to us, not to take from the middle or from someone else's portion."

"Islam teaches not to blow on hot food or drinks. Instead, wait until the food or drink is cool enough to consume."

"Islam encourages eating in moderation and not overindulging. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: \t\t“Never is a vessel filled by the son of Adam worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to have a few morsels that keep his back straight. If he must eat more, then let one-third be for food, one-third for drink, and one-third for breathing.” (HR. Tirmidhi)"

"If we do not like certain food, Islam teaches us not to criticize that food. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never criticized food. If he liked it, he would eat it, and if not, he would leave it without saying anything bad."

"Islam encourages eating together with family or others. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Eat together and do not eat alone, for blessings are in togetherness.” (HR. Ibn Majah)"

Another etiquette is not to speak when your mouth is full of food. This is to avoid spilling food or choking.

"After finishing the meal, it is recommended to read a prayer as an expression of gratitude to Allah SWT for the blessings of the food that has been given. Insya Allah, the food consumed can be beneficial for the body. Following these dining etiquettes not only shows our gratitude and respect to Allah SWT but also brings blessings and health into our lives."
