Statement Of Ibraheem Bin Adham

This statement of Ibrahim bin Adham Rahimahullah is recorded in Jaami’ul Uloom Wal Hikam of Ibn Rajab Hanbali Rahimahullah and is suitable to quote. The Quraan Sharif mentions, “O you Rusul, Eat from the pure things and do good acts. Verily, I am Aware of what you do.” [Surah Mu’minoon Pg.51] This verse clearly indicates that good deeds are dependent on the food that we eat. Another verse states, “O People, Eat of the lawful and pure things of the earth, and do not follow in the footsteps of Shaytaan. Indeed, he is your open enemy. [Surah Baqarah Pg.168] Similarly, the Hadith quoted in the query is that the worst container which the son of Adam can fill is the stomach. This indicate that many Deeni matters may be rectified if our intake is in order. In conclusion, the post is in conformity with the Quraan and Hadith and may be quoted.
