Eating in Islam (Pixabay)

YOGYAKARTA Did you know that Islam does not like anything that is excessive, including eating to full. In fact, in Islam it is recommended to stop eating before being full. To do this, Muslims must know what the limits of being full in Islam are.

Regarding being full of food because it is excessive, Allah SWT has warned his people to avoid it. This is like the word in the Koran of the letter al-A'raf: 31, which is as follows.

Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it, let's talk about it.

Meaning:

Eat and drink it, but don't overdo it. Indeed, Allah doesn't like people who like to be excessive. (QS. al-Araf: 31)

Regarding the prohibition of eating excessively to full, the limits have been explained by the Prophet SAW. In fact, one of the healthy lifestyles in the style of the Prophet is limiting satifaction. The limit of being full according to Islam is reflected in the following hadiths of the Prophet, reported by NU Online.

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Meaning:

There is no place that humans fill with worse than the stomach. It is enough for an adam child to eat some bribes to enforce his back. But if he has to (exceed) then a third of his stomach should be (filled) for food, a third for drinks, and a third for breathing. (HR. Ahmad)

From the hadith above, it can be concluded that a person is recommended to divide the space in his stomach according to their respective designations. The allocation of food and drinks in the stomach should not exceed the two-thirds of the stomach. While the rest, namely one-third of the stomach is used to keep breathing easily.

In an article entitled Eating Pattern According to the Prophet Muhammad SAW's recommendation According to Health Perspective published in the Journal of Creative Student Research (JCSR), it is explained that overeating is one of the reasons for weak faith in a person. The reason is that when someone is looking for comfort, it seems as if his life orientation is only oriented to fulfilling lust.

Imam Al-Ghazali in his book also explains that being full is something that is the heaviest among other cases, namely dining tables, flour and wijikan. Kenyang also often triggers desire (syahwat) and invites disease from the food consumed.

The need for human food must be met in order to continue to worship and carry out activities smoothly. Regarding eating to fullness, the ulama are of the view that eating to being too full is not a good act.

Some scholars such as Imam An-Nawawi and Imam Ar-Rafi'i punished eating satibly into a corrupt act. However, there are also other scholars who punish eating fullness as something forbidden. This is explained in the book Fate al-Mu'in which means as follows.

'As-Syaikhan (Imam An-Nawawi and Ar-Rafi'i) emphasized that the meaning of eating was too full. Meanwhile, other scholars are of the view of this thing.' (Sheikh Zainuddin al-Maliabari, Fath al-Mu'in, juz 3, hal. 367).
