| |  | Sunnah-Inspired Food to Nourish Our Bodies (and Our Families) By Wendy Díaz The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, not only guided us in matters of faith and righteousness but also in the care of our bodies. He advocated for good hygiene, proper manners, regular exercise, and moderation in eating, always leading by example. Additionally, there were specific foods that held a special place in his heart, often for their nutritional value.
