What does ”Madani Guard” of the stomach mean ?
The ‘Madani Guard of the Stomach’ is to refrain from consuming Haram (forbidden) food & drink and to eat even less Halal (permissible) food than one’s appetitie. On this subject Hujjat al-Islam (The Proof of Islam) Sayyiduna Imam al-Ghazali, alayhi ar-Rahman w’al-Ridwan, has stated :
”Whosoever eats only when he is hungry and withdraws (his hand)
from the food while still hungry, will never be in need of a doctor.
Therefore food should only be consumed when one is absolutely
hungry.” —Ihya Ulum al-Din, Vol 2, PP5.
Complete with references.
