Dua - Before meals

Before meals

Recite:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ

In the name of Allah and with the blessings of Allah I begin (eating)".


On forgetting to recite Bismillah at the beginning,

recite:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ

"In the name of Allah in the beginning and end".
By not reciting Bismillah, Satan has an opportunity of partake in the food.
