CHAPTER

Reading & Review of Ahadis
& Advices
Regularly read advices and ahadis.
Read and review them at least one hour daily. You will see many results and
benefits of this act. The heart comes alive and desires (nafs-e-ammara) are
controlled.Son, never eat in excess. By this,
you will become lazy.It is stated in the tradition that
Shaitan comes very close to human being when his stomach in full.(Mustadrak-3, p. 81)Allah does not like a man with
full stomach.(Mustadrak Vasael 3, p. 80)The most harmful thing for a
momeen is to eat to the full. Always keep 1/3 stomach empty for water, 1/3 for
breathing and fill up 1/3 with food. This is good for health and body.(Mustadrak 3, p. 80)Beware! Don't think that you
will get more strength by eating more. Beware, strength depends on your
digestive power not on the quantity of food.Don't eat unless you are hungry.
Otherwise it may result in indigestion, leprosy and mental deficiency.(Wasael
3, p. 263)Beware, don't sleep too much.
This results in waste of precious life. This does not mean that you should do
Ibadat leaving aside all things. All work should be done as much as necessary
not excessively. Take food that suits the climate.
