Explanation of Dua Before Drinking Milk:
This dua reminds us that even the simplest nourishment comes from Allah’s mercy. By saying it before drinking milk:
- We acknowledge that sustenance is a blessing from Allah.
- We cultivate gratitude for the food and drink we often take for granted.
- We recognize that health and energy are granted by Allah, and consumption should be mindful and thankful.
Milk, being a source of nourishment and strength, serves as a reminder of Allah’s care for our bodies. This simple act of saying “Bismillah” connects the believer to Allah in daily routines.
