The definitive guide to a healthier life – for the sake of Allah Then and Now. Food in the Time of the Prophet and Food take the reader on a journey through time, with an eye-opening look at just how much our food has changes and the effect it is having on our health. It dives into why we are eating what we are eating, why we often overconsume and how the food industry has corrupted much of our food supply. From jaw-dropping marketing techniques, to deep insights into our motivation, and the corruption of the food industry, Then and Now will give you an insight into the food you have been eaten like never before. Most importantly, Then and Now offers the solution to taking back control of our health: to SIMPLIFY healthy eating by getting back to basics, not following fad diets or food gurus but in getting back to eating whole natural food the way Allah made it and the way the Prophet ﷺ ate it. This simple key opens the door to connecting our food choices to our desire to please our Creator and to taking care of the body with which He has blessed us, it opens up the door of health and energy, elevating our choices regarding food to acts of worship. This is a book about showing you that it’s possible. Real health, energy and vitality are within your reach through nourishing your body. It is about presenting a way through the clutter and overwhelm of information and showing you that you have everything to gain by making positive changes, one small step at a time. Breathe. Relax. The key to health is eating natural whole food the way Allah made it in small portions. Take it step by step, be easy with yourself (and others) and start with ‘bismillah’.
