An Important Health Instruction
A Christian physician once asked
Imam Sadiq (a.s.) "Is
there anything concerning health
in your Quran and in the
instructions of your Prophet?"
Imam Sadiq (a.s.) told him,
"Yes! In the Quran man is
told: Eat and drink, but in eating
and drinking don't be
immoderate.' and our Prophet has
told us: Don't eat until
hungry for it is the source of
all illnesses.while eating little
and wisely is the source of all
cures.'''
The Christian physician stood up
and said, What good
and perfect health instructions
your Quran contains! And
what a sensible recommendation
your Prophet has made
about health."'
Allah Tells us:
"Eat and Drink; But Don't be Immoderate."
