Another thing which I have noticed is that these people who are fat, dont walk. They dont walk at all. They use cars even to go from one street to another.

Very true... you'd be amazed at some walking distance stories.

Is it permissable for a female to discuss her weight in a public Islamic forum?

It's the not eating statement and stating the gender in the same line. Preferring Hayaa and Taqwa (as all the readers are not equal in Imaan), it is prefferable not to have that mentioned. Although I strongly believe that the user did not intend it in anyway to be against Hayaa or Taqwa.

Jazakumullah for the pointers Guest and Striver.

rule against disclosing gender wont really work because we've ppl with male and female names so isnt it obvious???

i think ppl should keep personal info off the forum. no one wants to know how much you eat and what u look like.

although, the user didnt say wether she was fat or thin but her statement indirectly gave away her weight status.

Pardesi does make a point, however, like striver cleared up nicely, it still makes a difference. The bold text in the quote should clear that inshaAllah.

Assalaamualaykum

I know a person who is health obsessed! According to him, the state of the unhealthiness in the UK & US compared to other countries are due to the following:

1) The water. No joke, this brother does not drink tap water. It's either zam zam, volvic, or nothing.

2) Our milk. The person has also given up milk. Apparently, it's all injected and impure.

3) Cheese, butter, dairy products etc. It is quite unbeleivable but true that this person has NO cheese, butter, dairy products (chocs etc.) Unless it is desi, from back home or REAL expensive & organic.

4) General crap we're filled with. Astaghfirullaah, I shouldn't call it crap. Its food Allaah gave us. But the bro has a point. We typically eat crisps, chocolates, and excessive amounts of 'light' foods that build up our fat, like biscuits. And I don't know how long we'd survive without coke (personally given up Alhamdu lillaah).

Suprisingly, he also refrains from drinking or consuming anything containing beta carotene or aspartame (e.g. chewing gum or coke again) as it apparantly has many devastating effect. You can read about these conspiracies here www.rense.com/health/sweetners.htm

I think we all should be a bit more health conscious but I don't know about stepping as far as the bro I was talking about. Alhamdulillaah though, I'm not fat.

Salam,

If u stik 2 d following advice given by our beloved nabi (saw)

im sure there wont b any probs Inshallah!

Umar (RA) said:

"Beware of filling your stomaches with food & drink, for it is harmful to the body & causes sickness & laziness in performing prayers. Be moderate in both food & drink, for that is healthier for your bodies & furthest removed from extravagance. Allah سبحانه وتعالى will hate the fat man (one who revels in a life of luxury), & a man will not be condemned until he favours his desires over his religion"

Our beloved nabi (saw)

also advises moderation in food & drink in the following hadith:

"There is no worse vessel for the son of Adam to fill than his stomach, but if he must fill it, then let him allow one-third for food, one-third for drink, & one third for air"

Oh yeh and dont 4get the xercise! & thats cumin from a pharmacist Inshallah, u dont wanna b on the FAT pills!

wassalam

Salam,

I agree with Br. KBW, thats why I posted those hadith. Reading through the previous posts made me realise that we were missing the real point of the discussion;That is the relevance to Islam.

Islam is a way of life & there are hadiths & Ayah's of the All Mighty Quran that guide us through our daily life if we choose to take heed from the advice.

In our habib (saw)

, we find an example to mankind, so surely we should learn from him.

Studying Pharmacy has made me realise how perfect islam is! Subhanallah!
Theres been sooo many times when ive been sitting in a lecture thinking Subhanallah! Islam prescribed this for us over 1400 years ago & your only discovering the benefits now!!!?

Back to the FAT topic again, we have to realise that we have the shaytaan & our nafs playing on us. Getting addicted to something e.g. eating loads cuz ur depressed is only beacuse, if you think about it honestly, your looking for comfort in food rather than turning to the Allmighty سبحانه وتعالى. Through du'a, Zikr & having tawakkul in addition to ALL the faraid is all u really need to get through the hardest of times in life! Try it it REALLY works!

Life is a test, we can only ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to guide us & make this struggle in the dunya easy for us. No doubt we are going to be tested, but its only through Allah سبحانه وتعالى 's mercy that we can be succesfull! Ameen

Fast food is another great cause over sized ppl. There is a documentary film about it. I am not encouraging to watch it but basically it shows how a person who ate from McDonalds for only 30 days put on somthing like 40 lbs. Now that is alot of weight for only 30 days. Ppl eat fast food day in day out. That could be one other reason of Uk'ers and USA'ers being FAT

Families in India that have the benefit of being "well off" in terms of wealth are just as if not fattter than similar people in the UK. It has nothing to do with nationality, it has everything to do with diet.

Any food eaten constantly for 30 days would have ill effects not just fast food, though fast food is understandablly worse being high in fat and carbs.

Salamalikum

Salaam.
Obesity should be a concern for everyone because of the health implications.

But healthwise it was found in a recent study for the journal of Health and Wellbeing that being slightly overweight is better than being underweight or slightly underweight.

What about the brothers and sisters who are so weight consciecious that they are bulimic or anorecsic. This may seem unimportant because of all the hype about fat people. But the fact is that there are a lot of Muslim bros and sisters who need help because they are underweight.
But people dont notice it cause they think its good they are losing weight.

We need to educate our young brothers and sisters and the old.
I also feel that at the end of the day we all should be happy with the shape ALLAH gave us.

very true...underweight problems are just as widespread but over looked due to the western concept of 'stickly' beauty. Especially so for women - the thinner you are the better, never mind about what your healthy weight should be!

Taking care of your health is very important, health is just as much a blessing as the air breathed and the water drunk. Though often neglected.
