Feeding Yourself and Your Family
The
Messenger gave us detailed instructions concerning the best
way to feed ourselves and our families. He wrote two books,
going over the foods to avoid with the reasons why, the foods
which should be eaten in moderation and the reasons why, along
with all of the things which are good for us to eat. He discussed
how we could slow the aging process and bring the youthful
glow of proper nutrition to our faces and the faces of our
families. He went into both the prevention and treatment of
various illnesses using his guidance. While writing these
books, He was careful to explain the role of eating and non-eating
(fasting), and it's place in our theology. These books are
"How To Eat To Live" Book I and "How To Eat To Live' Book
H. They can be read in their entirety here on-line. They can
be cross referenced time and time again, when you are planning
meals and/or shopping lists. You can look for specific information
in these books by using the Nation of Islam Settlement No.
I search engine.
The Messenger highly recommended a vegetarian diet. He knew
some would find it difficult to give up meat, fish, and fowl,
but He urged us to aim for eating only vegetables, fruits,
breads, and the products of animals such as cheese, eggs,
and milk. He recommended wheat bread only. He recognized some
of us would need to reach this level of eating in small steps,
by degrees. He was quite specific in his writings about the
benefits of vegetarian cooking and eating and recommended
all vegetables should be bought fresh and cooked to enhance
their flavor, without robbing them of their nutrients. Vegetables
can be combined daily or weekly to ensure proper nutrition.
There are many varieties of vegetables recommended for us
to eat and the variety and combinations are almost endless.
There may be many vegetables you have never eaten or even
considered eating but you don't know how good they are and
what interesting dishes you can prepare with them. We have
brought together some vegetarian recipes which are tried and
proven to be delicious. Because The Messenger cautions us
against eating land animals during Ramadan, that makes it
a good time to experiment with these recipes and start a vegetarian
diet. You don't have to wait until December. Why not prepare
some of these recipes now, along with a meat entree? Once
you see how favorable and filing they are, you can prepare
several of them at one meal. Set your sights on going all
the way and trying a totally meatless meal. We know you will
enjoy these dishes and the large vegetable variety. We will
be adding more recipes from time to time, along with tips
which will enhance your vegetarian diet.
You may want to share some of your own recipes with all who
come to Nation of Islam Settlement No. 1, so please send them
by e-mail.
We can-only post and/or use recipes which adhere to Islamic
dietary prohibitions. |
