Common questions
What do you say before eating?
Say Bismillah. If you forget at the start, say "Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu" (in the name of Allah at its beginning and its end) when you remember.
Is saying Alhamdulillah after eating enough?
Saying Alhamdulillah on its own is also a way to thank Allah after a meal. The longer dua above is the wording the Prophet taught.
