EAT one meal every
twenty-four (24) hours, if you
are not sick. Sometimes, when
people are ill, in order to keep
up their strength, they must
eat.
THE HOLY QURAN, in teaching
us to fast, says there is no
particular regulation set upon
those who are ill. The sick are
not required to take a fast and
this makes sense.
BUT, those of you who are
well and able to withstand
hunger; you will prolong your
life by eating once a day,
because it soon becomes a custom
of ours, when we start eating,
once a day. You do not hunger
until that same time the next
day.
We are the God of ourselves
and we can make a habit of
eating once every seven (7)
days. We can train our bodies
not to desire to take food,
until the end of the seven (7)
day period. We are just what we
make of ourselves.
But you must remember, that
food keeps us here and food
takes us away. The longer we
keep away from digging our
graves with our teeth (as the
old saying goes) the longer we
will live.
