نبی کریم حضرت محمد ﷺ کے خوردونوش کے جانور

THE DIETARY ANIMALS CONSUMED BY THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)

Abstract

This research explores the dietary habits of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), specifically focusing on the consumption of animal-based foods such as meat, milk, honey, fish, and animal fats. Through the lens of authentic Hadith literature and classical Islamic sources, the study highlights how the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) approached animal-derived foods with balance, moderation, and an awareness of health and spirituality. Meat from sheep and goats, especially the shoulder portion, was favored but consumed occasionally. Milk from cows, goats, and camels was regularly consumed and praised for its nourishment. Honey was regarded as a natural medicine, aligning with both Quranic and Prophetic emphasis on its healing properties. Fish was permitted and consumed, particularly during expeditions. The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) also acknowledged the nutritional value of animal fat and clarified its permissibility. These dietary habits reflect not only nutritional wisdom but also a profound spiritual discipline that encouraged gratitude, moderation, and hygienic practices. The study concludes that the Prophetic dietary model, particularly in relation to animal-based foods, offers valuable insights for both physical health and holistic well-being in the modern era.
